Characters: Septima Vector and Benjy Fenwick.
Setting: The Great Hall, Breakfast, Monday morning
Content: TBD
Summary: Septima is pondering the future, for a change...

Having read another missive from Hester about the young Frenchman she had met the previous summer, a letter that went on for several pages about how at last she had met a handsome boy that their parents approved of, and how good looking he was, and how wonderful it would be to spend the summers in France - and did she mention how handsome he was? It was incredibly tiresome, no matter how much Septima adored her sisters, particularly the younger two.

It wasn't even the jealousy that bothered her - it was the reminder that now, as a 7th year, she would soon be required to make decisions that she didn't feel ready to make. She would never be allowed to play Quidditch again. What the hell was she going to do with her life? How long would her parents give her before they thought it was time she was wed?

In a fit of pique that was most unlike her, Septima balled up the letter and threw it into the milk jug further down the table, causing it to splash over.

	Septima rubbed her cheek slightly, feeling completely mortified now. She gently patted Benjy's hand, not wanting to seem like a complete cow, but not really in the mood to talk much now. Ironically, she could probably have used the hug - just not in such a public place. "I think I'm going to go for a walk" she whispered, getting up from the bench. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Benjy knew that Septima probably wanted some time alone. He didn't feel right letting her go off on her own, but was still too afraid of pushing her further. "Would you like me to find you before classes begin?" he asked before she stepped away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shook her head as she picked up the last of her things, tucking her wand into the inside pocket of her robes. "No, thank you" she replied, feeling awkward and trying not to meet Benjy's eyes. "I'll see you later..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Sure. Take care." Benjy watched as Septima walked away.

Somehow, somewhere, Benjy made a mistake. The point that kept coming back to him was how his friend had mentioned was about her family only wanting her to associate with people "like them".

Something wasn't right. And, no matter how much he tried analyzing the conversation they just had, nothing seemed to make sense.

After waiting a few moments, Benjy followed Septima's lead, but headed back to the Ravenclaw common room to get his materials gathered for class.
