Willow noticed Elina walking with some girls and smiled softly to herself. [i]Good, she made some friends...[/i] Biting into some cake, Willow's mind wandered to all she can accomplish this year. She couldn't wait to get back to the animals in her Care for Magical Creatures class and the club. Animals were much better company than humans...well most of them at least. 

Thankfully, everyone was more concentrated on the food and their own friends that they didn't give Willow the time of day. She happily munched on some more food, enjoying the taste. Nothing would ever beat Hogwarts food! 

As she took a bite out of a drumstick, her eyes flicked up to the front of the room, where all the adults were. Once again, they drifted towards the Auror...he looked so familiar. For some reason, she felt her blood run cold and she looked away, confused.
