Alice walked up to the Shrieking Shack, supposedly the most haunted place in Britain, even though she doubted that very much. She sat down and leaned against a tree, her breath swirling in front of her face in a mist.

October glided softly through the mist, padding decidedly in the direction of the Shrieking Shack. It had become a habit of hers, to visit the mysterious shack every now and then, just to make sure nothing had changed in her absence.
The trees were just tall, crooked figures in the thick mist, and the house loomed like a crouched beast, waiting to pounce, before her. She smiled slightly at the haunted place. No, nothing was different. The nightly rages of supposed spirits had done little to affect the condition of the old place. It was still as shabby and rickety as before. Not a shingle had fallen off since her last visit.

Alice pulled her knee up to her chin and rested her head on her knees.

Astrum walked silently through the trees, she didn't know why, but when she went to the Shieking Shack her head was always unusually clear. It was a hot day, and she had completely covered all her pale skin apart from her face with some form of clothing.

Alice heard someone walking behind her and lifted her head to see a Hufflepuff girl who was in a few of her classes walking in her general direction. "Hey!" She called to her, standing up.

"Oh um, hello" Astrum said quietly, startled because she hadn't seen the girl sitting there.

"Hey, you're in some of my classes, I think." Alice said, walking over to the girl.

"Oh, I think so too." Astrum said, inching back a little.

"I'm Alice Smith" Alice said, stopping as she saw the other girl move back a little.

"I'm Astrum Lumen." Astrum said. "I'm in Hufflepuff, what house are you in?"

"Gryffindor." Alice said, the girl was obviously shy. "Do you come here a lot?" She asked indicating the Shieking Shack behind her.

"Yes, quite a lot." Astrum said, pushing her black hair behind her ear.

"Cool." Alice said. Well, this is akward she thought. "I have to go," She lied. "I told my boyfriend I'd meet him in the Three Broomsticks."

"Ok," Astrum said. "See you later."

"Bye." Alice walked past her, and decided to go to the Three Broomsticks anyway to see if anyone was there.
