Ella headed down to the study tables with her arms loaded with books. She wanted to brush up on pretty much everything, especially now that classes were back in full swing. It actually felt good, being back and working hard again. She knew she needed to help get a lot of points, too...what with the NEGATIVE points that the Hufflepuff house currently had. The third year seriously wasn't pleased about that. Meh. Maybe it was her competitive side that was making her feel that way.

When she got to the tables, the small blonde stopped short, surprised by what she saw in front of her. It was Laura. Laura Hope Hyde...and she was studying. Laura Hope Hyde was studying...HUH?

WASTHISREALLIFE?!

...

"Um...Laura?" Ella was majorly concerned. Clearly her friend had been abducted by aliens and they'd replaced her with some studious version of her former self. EEP!
