WHAT: Megan needs to talk to her bffl
WHEN: backdated to Wednesday, just after this conversation
WHERE: Hufflepuff Common Room
RATING: Unlikely to reach beyond PG
STATUS: Closed//Ongoing

The conversation with Lena over the journals had left Megan confused. Not because she, with Lena's own admission, had suddenly seen her dorm mate in a new light, but because she had no idea where it had even come from. It was so completely random to Megan's mind that she had thought that the other girl was getting ready to bribe her for help with revision or to tell her that they were moving to three-a-day practices.

So the confession confused her, but she wasn't the type of person to ask why. She thanked her roommate and quietly left the library. She needed to talk to Hannah, because...what? She made her way quickly down to her house.

Megan spotted Hannah quickly and thanked her lucky stars that she was in her own bubble. She crossed the room and dropped her bag by Hannah's feet and plopped down next to her. "I have to tell you something," she whispered, looking around to make sure no one could overhear. "Apparently Lena fancies me, and I have no idea where that came from."

Now that her application for the Healer program was winging its way off to London, there was nothing left for Hannah to do but wait. Luckily, she supposed, that waiting was easily taken up by further revising for NEWTs. Which was what she was doing when Megan sat next to her- which wasn't a problem, of course. At least, not until Megan spoke.

"She what?!" The initial reaction was quickly srifled, but then repeated in a whisper. "What?" Hannah admittedly wasn't certain if she was upset, overprotective, or... jealous? (No, of course not.)

"I mean, that's..." Sudden? Unexpected? "New. Do you-?"

Hannah's reaction had Megan's stomach all aflutter, and she bit her cheek to keep the smile pulling at the corners of her mouth from spreading. She shook her head, trying not to wince because she didn't want to be mean. She considered both the Renauds friends, but she wasn't sure if they would be even that if they hadn't lived in the same dorm for so long.

"No. My preferences haven't changed since I told you about them." She smiled at her friend and shook her head. "It's completely unexpected. Honestly. I thought she was going to bribe me to help her with something. And she has a girlfriend, so it's even more awkward that she told me. Because what did she expect me to do?"

Hannah's quick reaction had- once she realized what she'd done- caused her own cheeks to flush. What should it matter if Megan fancied someone else? She ought to have been happy for her friend! Yet, when Megan insisted that she didn't fancy Lena in return, Hannah felt- yes, definitely- relieved. (Like Megan, too, it wasn't even that she had anything against the Renauds in particular. It was... something else, something that Hannah couldn't quite put her finger on.)

Closing the book that had been open in her lap, Hannah tucked it to the side and instead snuggled down a bit closer to Megan. "Seven years later, and I'm still not sure I'll ever understand those girls," Hannah admitted, quietly. "I don't think there's anything you can do. It's not as if you were encouraging it in the first place, right?" She closed her eyes for a moment, thinking, then added, "But if she gets out of line, just say the word, and I'll reminder her that badgers still have claws." It was an almost playful threat- Hannah wasn't exactly used to making them- but the sentiment behind it was real enough.

"Not on purpose," Megan replied, sinking down into the cushions and angling her head just a bit closer to Hannah, for better conspiracy. She laughed. "Remind me to never get on your bad side." She grinned cheekily at her friend. "You can be frightening when you want to me."

She laughed again. "But I'll let you know if it gets too weird. You can be all official with her. Just make sure she can play in our next match. Our reserve beater isn't as good."

	"There are no bad sides, for you, Megan," Hannah insisted, grinning just the same. (She didn't want to be frightening, really, but- well, if she had to protect her friend...) "Oh- yes. It's about time that I used my Prefecture for something worthwhile, isn't it?" The grin had faded into giggles instead. (Reply to this) (Parent)
