Hogsmeade had, no doubt, been an enjoyable experience. Braden had gotten to stretch his legs outside of the castle walls for a bit, and meanwhile enjoy the sight of some seventh years who clearly had no control over their color-changing hair. It had a been a good time while it lasted, but now that it was over, Braden was left quite unsatisfied. The change from all that excitement to none at all was just too drastic. He'd been forced to take action, and that action had been to call upon Miss Zara Flint, whom he was certain was equally bored as he. Of course, there were others he might have called upon to join him in this adventure he had decided to set out on, but there was no one Braden liked spending time with so much as Zara Flint, though she might not know it. She was his best friend... and a bit more, not that he'd admit it.

With his pocket full of a bag of sweets he had purchased for her at Hogsmeade, Braden made his way to the Slytherin common room entrance- early, of course. Upon reaching it, he adjusted himself slightly, smoothing out his collar, dusting off a pant leg, fidgeting with his hair a bit. But that all stopped as soon as he heard the entrance opening. Braden waited for her to appear, classic Capper smile in place.

Grinning at the feel of her hand once again in his, Braden took a hesitant step forward, as if the floor was going to do some sort of bizarre Indiana Jones stunt and disappear on him. When it didn't, however, he slowly but surely pressed onward, casting a look back over his shoulder at Zara every now and then.

"D'you think other people know about this?" he asked her, squinting ahead.

"Someone is bound to know about it, but probably not too many." She said softly not letting go of his hand. She'd never admit to it out loud but she was slightly worried, and a little bit of comfort wasn't terrible was it? She just hoped that he didn't mind.

"But I don't know if anyone at school right now does." She said looking at the wall before looking forward as she walked semi slowly, at least if either of them stepped in something they weren't alone.

The thought of being the only one in the entire school to know about what might be at the end of this passageway was enough to make Braden feel almost giddy. His Gryffindor spirit couldn't help but thirst for adventure. If he had lived in earlier years, he undoubtedly would have been an explorer.

After a bit of walking, during which Braden opted to continue holding Zara's hand- for safety reasons, of course- the Gryffindor boy suddenly piped up, "Look at that! Light! We must be near the end!"

She hadn't thought about much. She just sort of walked with him. It was sort of relaxing. She loved the fact that she could spend time with Braden and not say a word. To Zara it was almost more important at times. The moments without words were those that mattered the most to her. She'd never live without the good quiet moments.

She looked up as he spoke. She just smiled as she squeezed his hand. She didn't want to speak. She wanted to make sure he knew that she really was happy to be their. Words weren't going to do that.
