She couldn't fall back to sleep. It was four am or other insane hour. It didn't make a difference, really, the exact time. It was too early to be awake, yet her body had decided to boycott sleep without her permission. Criminal. A noise woke her, of that she was almost sure. At first her skin had broken out into a sweat - was this the moment the killer would assault her? As she continued to psyche herself out, she enjoyed the rapid pound her of heartbeat. Then five or so minutes passed and she knew that if a killer had indeed come into her room, he (or she) deemed her not appealing enough. Part of her wanted to take it as an insult.

After hastily tying her old dressing gown around herself, Jo stumbled out of the circular shaped door leading from her dorm out to the tunnel-like hallway. It was instances like these that she thought dear ol' Helga took the badger stuff too literally. They didn't need their rooms to resemble fucking burrows. Did badgers even burrow or was the just beavers? Wait, beavers built dams. Fuck, and Care of Magical Creatures was supposed to be the subject she was good at.

Jo nabbed a magazine off one of the tables near the fireplace before plopping herself down into a squishy, ink black armchair. It was Witch Weekly, which she thought of as blabbering dribble. But then a thought suddenly flourished in her mind... maybe WW was more enjoyable reading upside down?

It took a few moments of manuevering to spin herself with her feet pointed toward the ceiling. Though her eyes now wouldn't focus to make out the words - thus making reading pointless - the feel of blood rushing to her head had sort of a soothing thrill to it. I so am going to be commited one day, she mused.

Hmm... lying upside down doesn't help reading the quiz answers that are written upside down. Who knew?

Jo heard soft foot falls as she turned the page to something that sounded more promising than a quiz entitled, Is He Really Not Interested or Just Playing Hard to Get? She snorted. Blokes don't play hard to get. There was only one thing hard about them, and well, it was to just about the easiest thing access she could think of.

The foot falls continued, scaring her for a brief moment. They were much to light for someone who she'd think of as a killer. If the killer was a pixie vampire maybe (oh, how her father is going to pay for convincing her that Twilight would be a good read!), but otherwise someone of that weight she could surely take.

"Is this some kind of insomnia technique I've never heard of?" a voice asked once the foot steps had ceased. Jo knew it was one of the sixth years, the blonde who matched her previous pixie description to exactly. For some reason she could never remember the girl's true name.

"I figured anything is worth a shot. I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

"Don't be sorry for that, you probably just provided the entertainment peak of the night."

Violet had expected something maybe more sinister than the makings of a decent one-woman acrobatic act, which conjured up a few entertaining images of sequined magazines and huge sofa nets in her mind. A sleepy grin crept across her lips, a bit of the brightness of the day returning to her slumber-softened eyes as she crossed the floor to plop down upon an adjacent sofa. The dark cushions threatened to swallow her as she shifted into Indian-style comfort and placed an elbow on its arm, tilted head leaning into her palm.

"You didn't wake me, anyway, I think I'm the one doing the sleeping wrong lately. Eh...JoAnna, right?" Well, she was close. Her eyes traveled from the somewhat familiar face to the right-side-up copy of Witch Weekly, squinting impatiently to adjust to the low light.
