Mary made a face like she had smelled something bad. Then searched the hall for the girl. The pair of them had never gotten along. They never would. Karen was evil in Mary's mind. She had somehow in their first year realized Mary's aversion to her, Mary was sure that Karen knew as much as why Mary avoided her, though not the full why. Just that it had something to do with her zelotry. 

Avoiding Karen had been easier back then the Ravenclaws shared so few classes with the Gryffindors, but now they had almost every class together. All of Mary's classes except Runes were with the blonde Gryffindor.

"I just try not to draw her attention. Even if that never seems to work. As long as I don't somehow end up alone with her." Mary shifted, rotating her shoulder as if someone she didnt wamt to had touched it. "I think Professor McCarthy noticed I sit as far away from her as possible. I used to be the first in the class and now I try to show up after her so I can pick my seat according. No one else has said anything, and we'll he hasn't said anything about it so much as well making sure we aren't paired." Mary looked up at the teacher's table and easily spotted the DADA professor. He looked relaxed leaned back in his seat and partially watching the students as he ate his own breakfast. To Mary he liked tired. Everyone knew his wife sometimes met him in Hogsmead, Mary wondered if she had last night.
