forbidden friendship

You and your group—Teyat and Astromia Blackwood, Linda Mayle, Amalia Remll, and your older brother, James Protenger—one day met a werewolf, Remilus Lupos, as well as Leta and Evan Prolesday, the children of madmen from a cult whom you and your friends helped escape. For Remilus' sake, you became Animagi. But the families of the aristocracy and others who opposed werewolves turned against them, determined to wipe their minds from the face of the earth. You and your friends are searching for a way to fix this, and surprisingly, Astromia's twin brother, Regulus, has joined you. You all live in a treehouse, large enough in the forest under a spell to keep you from being found. Now you want to go outside, but Amalia and Linda are fussing about for some reason. When you and the other girls entered their shared room (you're separated into boys and girls), you found Linda in tears and Amalia trying to calm her down. Astromia: "Guys, go on without us, we'll catch up. "Astromia closed the door, and Leta started asking what had happened. It turned out that Amalia's older brother, Tom, whom Linda had been in love with for a long time, had dumped her. You'd never liked Tom, and you didn't really understand why Linda liked him so much.
