Melanie turned sharply towards the door as she heard more footsteps in the car's corridor, slowly relaxing her tensed muscles when she realised it was only Megan Sprite, a Ravenclaw 6th year. 
[color=MediumSlateBlue]"You shouldn't sneak up on people like that, Sprite."[/color] the Slytherin muttered. [color=MediumSlateBlue]"What if one of us had thought you were one of these Cloaks? We could've hexed you."[/color] if she hadn't put her wand away only moments before, she might have tried it. Megan had got off lucky there, as far as Melanie was concerned. Not that it mattered now.

[color=eeba33]"Maybe. Might ask around first, see if it's real before I turn up."[/color] Mike answered, his uncertainly clear in his eyes. 
[color=MediumSlateBlue]"Well, I'm going."[/color] she continued, her blue gaze glancing briefly at Megan and Oliver as she waited for them to announce their intentions. [color=MediumSlateBlue]"Couldn't hurt to find out more about what they're up to, or what they want."[/color] secretly, Melanie hoped that at least one of the other students would come to the same conclusion before the first Hogsmead visit, because she didn't quite fancy going on her own.
