Su was feeling quite accomplished, this week.  All of her assignments were completed by Friday evening, and there didn't seem to be much standing in the way of her having a fully enjoyable, relaxing weekend.  When Sunday afternoon rolled around, Su was a bit bored of reading - she'd managed to finish a novel and had started a rather heavy book on the French Revolution - and had taken to organizing her things.  After battling her way through a colony of ants that had taken up residence in her trunk and making sure there wasn't a stray insect to be found, she had decided to take out the Battleship her family had sent for Christmas and bring it down to the Common Room.  Every now and then, she liked to wait down there and try to waylay an unsuspecting housemate, talking them in to playing with her.

She marched down the steps, wondering vaguely if her family was really going to return home so soon, and wove her way around a gaggle of lower years who were gathering for what seemed to be a game of exploding snap.  Or a Charms study group.  She couldn't really tell - half of them had piles of books, while the others were arguing over the rules of the game.  Rolling her eyes, Su took up a post by the fireplace, scanning the room for a worthy opponent.  Anthony Goldstein caught her eye; he appeared to just be passing through, but she thought she might be able to convince him to forgo whatever he'd been about to do. 

It was only Sunday.  It couldn't possibly be that important.

"Psst!" she hissed loudly, waving a hand in his direction and beckoning him over.  "Goldy!  C'mere!  I have an offer you can't refuse."
