"HIGH INQUISITOR?" Kaya said, pulling a face as she, along with her friends, scanned a new notice that had been placed on the wall by Dolores Umbridge herself. "What the fuck's that?"

"No idea," said Maisie. "But, if it involves that old cow, it's probably ass."

"For once, I actually agree with Mais," Jaeden nodded.

"Here we go," Kaya muttered. "Jaeden and his everlasting hate for Divination,"

"Oi, K," said Alfie, with a mischievous grin. "Can you crack your knuckles?"

He held up his hands to her ear and did so, causing the girl to cringe and lean away.
