Once Nicole and Ophelia returned from Hogsmeade, they re-joined their group of friends who stayed behind at Hogwarts. As their conversation deepens, they all talk about plans for the night.

"How about we have a little gathering in the forbidden forest around ten o'clock this evening? We bought a load of sweets and butterbeer from Hogsmeade earlier on," Ophelia suggests.

The group of friends all start agreeing and nodding their heads.

"How about we all meet in the clock tower at ten o'clock then?" She asks.

Yet again everyone starts agreeing.

"Don't tell anyone else unless it is Morgandy, is everyone okay with Harlen and Orion coming too?"

Dove is the first to speak up, "not at all, they are the only other Slytherin's besides you, that I actually like."

The whole group agree with Dove and they begin to head towards the Great Hall for the start of the evening meal.

Little did the group know there was someone else listening very closely to their plans later on in the evening.

Once the group reached the Great Hall they all separated into their houses and bid each other goodbye for now.

Nicole walked to the Gryffindor table with Elowen and sat down in her usual spot. What was once a usual chatty end of the table, was now dull and boring, the only people talking at the sixth and seventh-year end of the table was Lyra and Avalon.

Nicole helped herself to a plate of food, and as usual, whenever there are chicken nuggets she helps herself to the lot. Elowen laughed as she had finished more than half in a matter of 2 minutes.

"You know, you're going to get fat, if you keep eating those," Lyra commented given her a sly smile.

"If I wanted a bitch, I would have brought my dog. She's much cuter than you anyways," Nicole spat.

Elowen laughed, you could even hear a faint laugh come from Avalon.

"Well sorry, my animagi form is a coyote instead," Elowen winked and Nicole as she shook her head.

Dove took a seat next to Rune at the Hufflepuff table but soon felt uncomfortable, she looked around the room and caught eye contact with Arkin Lestrange. She soon turned her head back to Rune and ignored his glare.

Ophelia muttered something under her breath and Lestrange's head snapped towards Tom and his group.

"Glad you're paying attention, Lestrange," Ophelia commented.

He just glared at her and reverted his attention to Tom.

Ophelia didn't pay attention to what Tom had to say, nor was she bothered. She kept thinking about her prophecy. Tomorrow she was to find it and know the truth about how dark her future really is.

Once she had finished her food she left with Avery and Orion, they met Ophelia's group of friends and explained the plan for later on in the evening, the two boys agreed and they then proceed to head back to their dormitories.

When they got inside the Slytherin common room, the three all collapsed onto the sofa's spread out in the living area. They all sat in silence for the next twenty minutes watching the green flames of the fireplace.

Their peaceful silence was interrupted by Tom and the rest of the group sitting among the three that lay there.

"Move over," Tom pushed Ophelia.
