why am I not surprised

[whip_of_thorns]

Hm.  Not one day after I mentioned how quiet it was, too.

-will be working in the library, tuning out music-

It's not as loud in some areas of the school, but I think that's from the silencing charms.

[whip_of_thorns]

Many teachers are using silencing charms; I think I might try the new Transfiguration TA's idea and make my own silencers. I hope the music doesn't play even while we're trying to sleep.

[aphoticfirefly]

That would be unfortunate.

[whip_of_thorns]

It would be, especially with exams so near.

Didn't I meet you a few weeks ago in the forest?

[aphoticfirefly]

*thinks* Yes! You were the one who made a dancing teacup, right?

[whip_of_thorns]

Yes, and you were reading. Did you finish your book?

[aphoticfirefly]

Yes, I did.

[whip_of_thorns]

As did I my spellwork. Might I make your acquaintance?

[aphoticfirefly]

I'm Hotaru Tomoe, a 3rd year Ravenclaw.

[whip_of_thorns]

Shuichi Minamino, Fifth Year Gryffindor. Pleased to meet you, Hotaru.

[aphoticfirefly]

It's nice to meet you too, Shuichi.

[whip_of_thorns]

If you ever want to talk, or if you need help in Herbology, I'll be around.

[aphoticfirefly]

I'll remember that.
