Rooms

To the woman I shared drinks and conversation with, thank you. It was a very [...] pleasant evening.

[Selina K]

I'm back, can I be serious for five seconds?

[Nashtons]

Are you home?

[Marvel girl gaggle: Darcy L/Gwen S]

Is your world's pancake thing a regular thing?

[Public]

Maybe you have to be magic to appreciate the damp

[Following this, Ginny, true to her word, is sitting in the courtyard. Her back is against one of the stone walls, legs outstretched. A school book--not Potions, thank you--lays open on her lap. It was a free period for her, so why wouldn't she take the opportunity to do homework while waiting?

A part of her wondered why she was doing this, but a stronger part of her was wondering if anyone else had bothered doing this. There was plenty of reason not to like Snape. There were plenty of reasons to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially young. Plus, she couldn't quite justify being rude to him when he could have very well been the main reason that the students who opposed the Dark Lord managed to live at Hogwarts her sixth year.

The hand that was not on the book was clutching the candy protectively against those who might try to charm it away. Sorry, hungry looking third year. She knows.]

[The handwriting is tight and tall, the letters carefully scrunched together.]

If another student asks me to partner with them in Advanced Potions, I may very well poison them so they spend the next week in the infirmary.

Some students should learn to keep their childish behaviour out of the public areas. Is that really so much to ask?

Who: Lily Evans & Severus Snape
What: Talking.
Where: Slytherin dungeons.
When: Now.
Warnings: Nah.

[Descend a staircase and pass through the corridor, through the damp smell of stone and the metallic chill that pervaded any underground dungeon that was worth its spooky lore. It was the middle of summer, and Lily wore sleeves. She'd never had much of a purpose in coming down to the Slytherin Common Room, although it seemed silly to avoid it now since this year's Head Girl business was bound to include all of the castle. She'd never ventured into the other common rooms(it seemed rather invasive didn't it?), and she had no intention of starting now, with the snake den. Rather, she would only stand in the corridor, and she would speak the words that she carefully recited on her way down the dungeon stairs. Words that were meticulously written on parchment earlier, words that were x'd out in frustration and began anew with determination. Lily would speak words that were polite, but dignified. She would give instructions to Severus for while she was away, and it would be an extension of kindness to the rival house -- something that would certainly be expected of a Head Girl.

Just because Severus was prejudiced and rude, that didn't mean that Lily should lapse on her responsibilities. Truly heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Lily came a stop before the Slytherin common room door, and she straightened the cuffs of her sleeves before knocking three times. She would talk to Sev like he was any fellow student, and not like he was a friend who'd cruelly betrayed her.]

[Narrow, beautiful letters.]

Seventh year, at last.

[Locked to Severus S]

As you're the only other Slytherin here, you'll be attending the festivities in the loo with me, for solidarity.

( It was all different yet the same. )

Please tell me that was a joke when I saw a calendar saying that the year was 1999.

This had better not be preemptive detention. While it is completely realistic to assume that I'd need a full two months of detention before school even started, I should have been told. I had plans. I had two months of extra sleep planned before I had to come back here.
