The halls of Hogwarts were bustling with life as always. They had just spent 10 minutes trying to get down the moving stairs, and had to argue with a door that turned out to be a ‘wall pretending to be a door’, before they finally reached the hallway that led down to the Great Hall. After all, it was lunchtime.
The small gaggle of giggling girls (say that one quickly yeh) were huddling near a wall. Waiting up for one of the group who had to get a book back from a friend. One redhead, a brunette, and a raven-haired girl were waiting impatiently whilst a group of boisterous Slytherin boys were showing off to each other a further down the hall.
As the amount of students dwindled, the girls were still waiting for their friend, one of them calling out to her.
“Pandora! Come on, we’re hungry! We have to drop by the library before next class, we don’t have the time...!”
A girl with silvery blonde hair waved to the group. Gesturing for them to go along without her, she’d meet up with them in the hall. Or library. Penny shrugged. Pandora seemed to have quite an intense liking for that friend of hers. Xenophilius. He was quite odd, but it seemed to work for her so, why not?
Penny shrugged, pulled her friend’s sleeve, and they headed down the hall. They were about to pass the group of Slytherins. Some she recognized, and to be honest, she wasn’t really that fond of all of them. A few of them had a few screws loose and a bit too much need to prove themselves as something. They appeared to be discussing something in a heated fashion with the lanky kid whom reminded her of a spider. Angular, pale, never said much.
Their discussion had gotten quite heated, and Crouch Jr drew his wand and aimed it, sadly, like much else about Barty Crouch Jr, something went awry. His aim was off, and the word he whispered and spell he threw ‘sectumsempra’ whisked past in an incredible speed.....
There was a cascade of blood. The spell had hit Penelope straight over one of her shoulders and parts of her chest. She hadn’t seen it coming. There was a sudden sharp pain in her shoulder and a spray of blood. It took long seconds to realize it had hit her. And that the blood was hers. The other girls had started to scream and one of them ran off screaming. Penny’s face was paling before their very eyes and she just, fell to the stone floor. Hands shaking.
