Once outside, I leaned against the wall while waiting. Harry and Ron were next to me, clearly uncomfortable with what I was about to do. My eyes stayed glued down the hallway, waiting for Astoria to show up. It only took a couple of minutes, but she rounded the corner. Her eyes were downcast, but once she glanced up, she met my eyes. Her footsteps hesitated for a moment before giving a small nod and continuing. Turning around, I ventured toward one of the empty classrooms. Harry and Ron followed me quietly. Opening the door, I went inside and kept the door open for the boys. I kept the door ajar for Astoria to enter and went to the center of the room, waiting. After a minute, the door opened slowly, revealing Astoria.
