Memory Lane (Shadow and Holly)

"Yeah, you WALK away!" Holly yelled after her.

Shadow ignored Holly.

"Yeah, that's right, you know I could beat you in a wand fight," Holly called for effect, and then she shrugged at Hannah.

"Only because you know I can't use one!" Shadow yelled back.

"Blah!" Holly yelled, unable to think of something better to say.

Shadow sighed and made her way up to the astronomy tower.

"Wanna read something awesome?" Holly asked Archangel, and produced a copy of 'Addicted To You', grinning.

Archangel took one look at it and pushed it away.

Holly shrugged and sat on the bed with the book open on her lap.
"Ha, that's my favourite part." she muttered, sipping her slushie.

Archangel sat down with one of Pomfrey's medical books.

"Strange child." Holly commented, even though she was the one reading the ..... graphic novel.

"Look who's talking." Archangel said.

Holly turned around, expecting to see someone talking.
"Huh...." she commented.

Archangel sighed, shook her head and started to read again.

"OHMYGOD!" Holly yelled, standing up and snapping the book shut, "SHADOW'S MISSING!"

"She'll come back." Archangel said.

"No she wont!" Holly argued, "We should go look for her, c'mon."
She skipped off.

Archangel rolled her eyes and followed.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD?!" Holly yelled, and looked around, "OHMYGOD, SHES MISSING!"

"No, she's not, just leave her alone." Archangel said.

"That sounds fair." Holly said, shrugging, "Just tryin' to bring a little mystery to our lives..... You tell me what's up with her then."

"I don't know, but I learnt not to bother her." Archangel huffed.

"Does she do your HEAD in?" Holly asked interestedly, "She never lets anyone in, which she should do y'know."

"Mother's just... very protective of her mind. Because of the fact she's very closely linked to my Grandfather." Archangel said.

It took Holly a moment to register this comment. She looked at Archangel confusedly.
"Riddle Senior?" she asked, "Or.....?"
