"Safe place?" asked Victoria and sighed. Yeah, they must be careful. If they got caught, they would probably be expelled. Victoria couldn't imagine getting expelled from school. That would be such a shame, plus, in a weird way, she liked Hogwarts. "Yes, we'll work on it. That old Room of Requirement was safe once, but it's overused now, after that damn DA had its meetings there." She tried hardly to think about it. No, they must find another place. "Hogwarts is full of secret places, anyway, I'm sure we'll find one," she said with a renewed hope.
"And we also must steal some ingredients from that old idiot." Of course, buy 'that old idiot' she meant Slughorn. "That doesn't seem hard, does it? And with our amazing brains, how hard can it be?" She looked at Jeff and snorted loudly. Jeff was the only member of the group whom she didn't consider extremely clever.
Jeff knew perfectly what she meant, and lowered his head. At the end, he just said, "I'll do my best to help you. I promise."
"And stay out of trouble, OK?" Vickey told him reproachfully, at what Jeff just nodded. He didn't want to confront Vickey, knowing how vicious she can be.

"What? You think we should become Animagi?" Scorpius thought for a moment. Yeah, in fact, that sounded cool. "But it is said to be a very advanced magic. How can you be so sure we can?" he asked thoughtfully. He wanted to believe they'd manage to learn how to transform to animals just by will, but he was also insecure about it. What if they failed? What if they got caught? Headmistress would be furious for sure.
In middle of his thought, he spotted Albus.
"Al, where did you go? We've searched everywhere!" he said in rather angry manner, but he also couldn't hide his happiness for seeing his friend. Somehow, he also wanted to kill him for scaring him so much. But he couldn't do much. And he knew it. So right then, it was only important that Albus was safe.
"Oh, amazing," he smirked at the idea of hexing Mia's school book. "But should we really stoop down to their level? Are we no better than this?" he added insecurely after a few moments.
