Elizabeth stretched her hands above her head before settling back against one of the pillars surrounding the courtyard. With book in hand and her bookbag by her feet, she relaxed and started to read about the next NEWT potions they were about to face. Even if she was in Professor Slughorn's Slug Club (as it was affectionately termed) only because her father was a wealthy entrepreneur, she still wanted to work hard and gain the "O" honestly. Besides, Potions was one of her better classes and she rarely slacked on a subject that was her favourite.
The last field trip a couple days ago had been all right; nothing too eventful had happened, and she had tried to talk to Jeremy more but he had pulled away. She wasn't sure why - perhaps something was happening at home that he couldn't tell her about - but instead of being hurt by it, she tried to stay positive. He'd talk to her when the time was right, but in the meantime, she had NEWTs to worry about.
She glanced up, catching sight of Kristopher walking by, and waved as he went about his rounds. A little flutter entered her heart, but she quickly dismissed it. He was just one of her best friends, like Jeremy, and she enjoyed his friendship and spending time with him. She didn't want anything else; anything else would just ruin it. But before she could dwell on it further, a shadow crossed her book and she blinked.
"Hey, Cal," she smiled, looking up. "Would you like to join me?" She swung her legs around to give him a place to sit beside her.
