Edward walked in and sat down. He realized it was empty.

Ella danced into the Three Broomsticks and immediately saw Edward. "Hi, Edward!" she said, and sat down next to him. "Are you going to order?"

"Nah", Edward said, "Sorry about Jenn"

"That's okay," said Ella. "I can cope with it."

"They will get over soon and then you girls can be friends", Edward said.

"Yeah, that would be nice," said Ella.

"They always get mad at me",Edward said, "I have no clue why"

"Me niether," said Ella. "You're so easy to get along with."

"Its the whole Kairi thing. They act like just because i told her I like her when ever i even look at another girl they freak", Edward laughed.

Ella laughed too. "It seems like they blame it on me, the way they stare at me..." she shuddered.

"Ella, do me a favor", Edward said seriously.

Ella looked at Edward. "Sure thing," she said.

"Never ever, go into the Alley alone or with anyone but me", Edward said. He had me Voldemortist ther and it was not something he wanted Ella to run into.

"Okay," said Ella. "I'll remember that."

"Lord Voldemortist is back", he whispered.

Ella shuddered.

"He's back. I made a deal. So he wouldnt harm you", Edward whispered.

"Oh, thank you," she said.

"But he may break it. Please never go there", Edward said.

Antwone walked into the Three Broomsticks with Jezzabell, hand-in-hand. He was surprised to see it so empty.

"You weren't that late see, the student rush hasn't even happen yet," he smiled back to her, pointing to two students, a Hufflepuff and Slytherin speaking closely to each other.

"Let's sit near the back okay?" As Antwone pulled her towards a booth near the back he smelled something peculiar. He had transformed only days before and he wondered if it was the creature within him telling him something, but he shook it off. It had to be the food from the kitchens. Still, it was troublesome.

"Do you smell something?" He began stiffing the air around him like a dog.

Jezz smiled. "I guess I wasn't that late was I." She followed him toward the back. "No. I don't smell anything. Maybe the smell has something to do with.. well.. you know." She dropped her eyes, he didn't like talking about it and she knew it.

She looked around. The emptyness of the place gave her a funny feeling. She shivered and moved a little closer to Antwone.

Ari shivered uncontrollably as she entered the Broomstick, practically running into another pair of students. "sorry." she muttered, her voice practically breaking as she slid into a chair and wrapped her arms around herself. For the last ten minutes she had been shaking uncontrollably; she had no clue why. Ginger was safe in Professor Brooks hut, her homework was finished, her parents (she'd never admit she had a father who abandoned her) were fine, yet she was freaking out.

Shivering still, she calmed down enough and smiled shakily at her companion.

"Yeah, I thought so too," Antwone looked to Jezzabell who seemed to shy away from that subject. "I trust you fully now Jezz, you don't have to worry about hurting my feelings. I am what I am."

He squeezed her hand a little harder, momentarily forgetting about the smell although the beast within was urging him to investigate.

Antwone looked up briefly as another student walked in, shivering from head to foot.

Jezz was elated. He really trusted her. The smile on her face grew wider and she said. "Well you always seemed to get upset about it."

She looked at him for a minute. "Why do you think it's so empty?" As she spoke she unconciously leaned toward him more. "Do you think there's something weird going on again?" The thought scared her and the fear was reflected in her eyes.
