"Yeah" Courtney said. "About how easy they are"

Valida took a seat, putting her books in front of her. She smiled. "I wouldn't say they are easy," she said, looking around at the group of people. "The year just started and most things we are going over is review. Though, not for me. This is my N.E.W.T.s year. We fell right into our work. That's the reason I have all these books with me. I have a feeling that things will get harder. These teachers are like firecrackers in class."

"Are Newt's really that bad?" Courtney said, picking at the grass idly. "Of course, I've been doing mostly practice OWLS since it's my OWL year, but I've done some practice NEWTS too, and they don't seem too terribly difficult, mostly just wordless spells, which aren't that bad" She says. "What NEWTS are you doing?" She asked

"They make the practice tests seem easier than what they are," Valida said, opening one book and handing it to Courtney. "Though, it's nothing a student can't handle. I am doing the courses one must take to be an auror. Plus muggle studies because they are interesting."

"Yeah" Courtney said. "That's what I'm doing too. I want to be an Auror. Or a Healer. Or just a pro Quidditch player" She added with a laugh. "But this isn't too bad. I've looked through a lot of my brother's stuff. He's an auror, he's taught me a lot" She says

Valida smiled, knowingly. "You wait until you are sitting in that class with just this book and your brains," she said. "You will come to know the feeling of being hard-pressed for time and easy school work."

"Whatever" Courtney says not trying to start an argument or show off to the other girl. She picked up her Quidditch Weekly magazine and started casually flipping through it

Valida shook her head, knowingly. Attitudes like this was the reason she did not care for some gryffindors. She thought that Courtney was a different type. She raised her brows, obviously she was wrong. She sighed. A friend lost, she mused to herself. She went to her book to study for a pop quiz she knew they were going to have in potions.

"Have you seen this yet?" Courtney asked nicely, knowing she had made her mad by accident.

Valida looked up from the book. She looked over at the magazine Courtney was holding out for inspection. Her tone had changed. Shaking her head, Valida said, "No, I haven't. What is it?"

"Quidditch Weekly. Latest edition. Another one of my brothers just sent it to me" Courtney said holding it out for Valida. "He gets it early because he's on a pro team." Courtney adds. "But then he sends it to me" She says happily

Valida smiled. "So," she said. "You have all of the recent knowledge. I don't get mine until next week. Lucky you."

"You can look at it if you'd like" Courtney said handing it to her, and pulling out a Defense Against the Dark Arts book her brother had sent her from Flourish and Blotts "There's re-caps of all the games this week" She said

Valida took the magazine, hesitantly. "I really want to look in it," she murmured, slowly. "But, I better not. I want to be surprised when I get mine next week. Thank you for offering, though, Courtney." Valida smiled and handed the magazine back.

"Are you sure?" She asked "I really don't mind" She added, as she took the magazine back hesitantly. "There were some really good games this week. Hopefully I'll get to see one over Christmas or something" She added. "I miss seeing Quidditch while I'm at school, but I miss playing Quidditch games while I'm away from it" She said with a laugh. "I guess I just can't be happy" She added with a casual shrug
