It had been a long week and, for Terry, one with little sleep. He hadn't been able to find out what killed Winky yet and the only good news was that it hadn't killed again. It was only a matter of time, though, and he hoped that he would find it before time ran out. Part of him said that he shouldn't be sitting, poking at what little food they

Lisa was late, but that wasn't really a surprise. she'd reverted to old tendencies since her conversation with Hermione, spending most of the day alone with herself and her thoughts.

A corner of her mouth lifted slightly when she saw his surprise at her presence. It disappeared as quickly as it appeared, though, and she thought about how to answer his question. "I actually left my room. I'd say I'm doing fantastic. You?"

The fact that he had found another person that liked to keep to their rooms had Terry smiling, but only a little. It was almost sad the way that people were slaves and stuck to one room, yet that's the only place they wanted to be when they were free: one single room. "I'll let you know when I actually eat something. Other than that, I don't know yet."
