Girty was skipping around Hogsmeade and enjoying the fact she could go somewhere else other then the grounds at Hogwarts. She then felt a pain in her shoe, so stopped by the fence. She rested against it as she slide her shoe off, when she heard a noise behind her.

Above Girty's head in a nearby tree, there was a great commotion of snapping branches and upset twittering sparrows. As they flew harrowdly from the showering leaves, a large black bundle of robes crashed loudly down to earth, a collection of human limbs flaying about between the folds.
After a few moments of struggle, and a few more dislodged leaves, the head of Molly Bottomburn sprouted from the huddle. Her eyes rolling and her giant yellow teeth biting her tongue, Molly stood up, wobbling from side to side as if drunk.
"What a fall!" she explained, stumbling into Girty unexpectedly.

Girty was tunned to see someone fall form the tree, and when they bumped into her well Girty then lost all balance. The hand she was holding her shoe in started to wave up and down int he air as she hopped around trying to regain balance. She then fell onto the floor and looked up.
"Good heavens. Are you alright?"

"Me? Oh yes, fine, good, good!" replied Molly, her eyes still rattling in her head like a pinball machine.
When she had stopped swaying, she looked round inquisitively before peering down and laughing loudly. "What on earth are you doing down there?" she swawked, her massive teeth exposed. Enthusiastically she held out a hand.

Girty could not help but laugh with this girls joyfulness. Girty gladly took her hand pulled her self up.
"What was i doing to the floor?"She brushed the dirt off her robes and looked back at the girl.
"Well i seem to have lost my balance while putting my shoe on." She smiled.
"Sorry i do not know you. I'm Girty Hubbles."

Molly nodded happily with her eyes closed, grasping Girty's hand once more and throwing it about furiously. "Wonderful to meet you, Girty!" she snorted. "I'm Molly - Molly Bottomburn!"

Girty smiled and laughed silently.
"Pleased to meet you." She watched her arm fling about then looked at Molly.
"What were you doing up that tree? If you do not mind me asking?"

Molly stared at Girty for a few moments as if she'd just asked the silliest question Molly had ever heard. "What was I doing?" she relayed the question. "I was looking for--" Molly stopped talking and shut her mouth abruptly. A quizzical look crossed her face. "You know... I haven't the foggest..." she raised a hand to her head, where a large lump had appeared.

Girty laughed.
"I do that all the time. Not trees mind you, we do not get along, normally long grass for me. Much closer to the ground." She smiled.
"here this will help the bump." Girty summed up an ice pack with her wand and placed it on Molly's head.

Molly shivered as if touched by a Dementor. "Ooooh thank you." she cooed, half in gratitude, half in icy pain. Her teeth began to chatter. "I'm in Gryffindor, by the way. Well, I expect I would be if I could remember the password half the time!"

Girty laughed and looked at Molly.
"Neither can I. Just aim to be around at the same time as someone else and slip in then." Girty sat down by the fence and tried to get her shoe on

Molly didn't reply right away. She stared at Girty's shoes almost accusingly. "Troublesome shoe, eh?" she said sagely. "Give it here, Girty!"
Without so much as a warning, Molly dived forward and snatched up Girty's shoe - along with her foot. "I'll get it back on if it's the last thing I do!" she cried, and with no gentle touch began to force the shoe back onto Girty's ankle.

Girty's eyes grew wide as the shoe was took out of her hand. And when Molly started to jam the shoe on she did not now what to do.
"Really Molly there is no need...."

Molly smiled round at Girty in what was intended to be a comforting smile. "Oh really, Girty, you should just ask for help when you need it!" she said.
There was a loud crack.

That was strange Girty heard a crack but felt no pain. But suddenly the fence behind her fell backwards and Girty went with it. She found herself looking at the sky and a smile filled her face.
"Thanks Molly. Is my shoe on yet?" She laughed even more
