LouAnn was surprised at how soon she was able to come up with a partner. Then again, with as many students Hogwarts had within its walls, it usually wasn't all that difficult to find someone to work with. LouAnn smiled in reply to Fred's wink then nodded her head. Of course she'd partner up with him. She'd be able to get her partner activity done, plus she'd get to meet another Gryffindor she had yet to introduce herself to.

"Oh, hey, Fred! I'm LouAnn Purple. Thanks for partnering up with me," she replied. Earlier in class, she'd asked the fire a question about possibly murdering Abby and Kyle. She definitely didn't want to ask Fred that very same question, though. He'd think she was mental! It'd probably be better if he went first. "How about you go first? What question do you have for me?" she asked.
