Sunday was spent in the eighth year common room.  It was odd having people other than her usual housemates there.  The Hufflepuffs were quiet and happy to play chess or board games with the Gryffindors.  Hermione and Padma had already taken over an end of the long table with study materials and other Ravenclaws sometimes joining them.  Lavender was staying fairly silent still so she and Pavarti had taken to hiding in their room.  The Gryffindor boys spent most of their afternoon in a wizarding chess tournament.  Ron won to none of their surprise but to everyone else’s, even though Seamus acted like that was the first time he’d ever lost to him (it wasn’t).
