Who: Lucy & Branwen
What: Taking a walk
Where: Halls of Hogwarts
When: Sunday evening
Rating/Warning: TBA

Leaning against the old desk in the back corner of the library, Lucy did her best to squeeze all of her things inside her knapsack. She had spent the majority of the evening working on a Transfiguration essay. Twitchy, complicated thing, it was. She had gotten it done, but not without trouble. Lately, it had become hard for her to focus. She was hoping that a walk would clear her head, help her get her act together.

She was only thankful Branwen had decided to keep her company.

It had been a long time since Lucy had any sort of Giraldo discussion. She could tell, however, that Branwen definitely had something on her mind. She couldn't help but laugh softly in response to Branwen. Her giggles were just so contagious.

"Yes, yes," she said, nodding her head. "Wait, has something happened with one of them? Or all of them? Or, perhaps, two?"

Branwen nodded. "Just one. The other two have been out of sight out of mind mostly, but..." she laughed lightly and only slightly bitterly, "that hasn't helped much."

"But... well..." she paused. This was impartial gossip, she was being stupid to make such a fuss of it. A deep breathe later, and she continued, "have you noticed how Mandy Brocklehurst and Michael Corner are practically throwing themselves at each other in the journals? nd only less so in person?"

Actually, it had been impossible to ignore the talk of Mandy and Michael over the past couple of weeks. Their flirting in and out of their journals had been the talk of the Ravenclaw house, that was for sure. She looked at Branwen and nodded her head, a slight roll to her eyes that she couldn't hold back.

"A bit silly, isn't it?" she said, shaking her head. "They ought to just put it all out on the table at this point. We all know everything, anyway."

"It is," Branwen agreed. "And we rather do. It's hard for the best of us to keep a secret around this place. We do a pretty good job, but if you aren't trying, everyone will know."

She smiled brightly. "So, yes, never. Excellent word isn't it!" She had jumped back to the mysterious entry that had prompted this discussion in the first place.

"How have you been?" Branwen was definitely trying to distract someone from the original point, though whether it was Lucy or herself was anybody's guess.

"Merlin, if one person knows, we all know!"

Lucy stopped after a moment. Branwen seemed excited. A little relieved, almost. But was she really? Lucy had crushes a lot. She actually had one at the moment. But when they didn't return the sentiment. Well, that blew. Blimey, Lucy wasn't sure how Branwen was handling it.

"I suppose so," she said slowly. She ignored Branwen's question for the moment. "Are you sure you're alright with it all?"

Branwen paused for a moment to really think about Lucy's question. The surface answer was easy, but she wasn't a Ravenclaw for nothing. Slowly, she shook her head. "I know there will be someone eventually. But what's wrong with now?" She scowled. "Or four years ago?"

Then she merely shrugged. "Still, two of them are still free as far as I'm aware, so at least there's that?" she asked rhetorically and hopefully. She shook her head, to clear it. "I wish they would just stop!" Emotions were so messy and uncontrolable.

"Yes."

Lucy bit on her bottom lip, her eyes darting to the ground for a moment. Lucy had never had a boyfriend before. Hadn't even kissed a boy. When it came to boy advice, Lucy had nothing to really say. She shrugged her shoulders.

"Boys an be so tricky," she said. "Well, I suppose they are. I've got very little real experience with them. But, Bran, you're kind of brilliant. The right guy is going to come along. I know it."

	Branwen paused to consider what Lucy said, and then nodded decisively. she didn't have much actual experience with boys either, but what Lucy said made sense. "You're right." Then she smiled brightly and started walking again, much more happily. "So, really, how are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
