      To the best of her ability, she had convinced Everest that most of her peculiar behaviours were a result of night terrors and trances. Thankfully, the girl did not force her into spilling her secrets and let her have privacy like a decent human being. It was either that or she was eager to spend almost every night snogging Marlene McKinnon in some corner of Hogwarts.

      Speaking of snogging, she hasn't had the chance to speak to Sirius Black ever since exams started. In fact, most friends were separated from each other as a result of it. Exams should be banned.
