Torie was a little breathless from all the excitement and stress that had plagued her since she found out about this special "lessson" that Professor Vindictus was hosting. She had done her best to look like a boy, going so far as to stuff her long red hair under a baseball cap, and wear her baggiest and oldest jeans and sweater in neutral boy colours of navy blue and dark green. She quietly opened the door to the spare locker room and walked in. 'Man, it is good to be back at Hogwarts', she thought to herself as she spied the familiar faces of her old schoolmates and friends.

Torie beamed. "Hey gang, hope I am not too late for the excitement!"
