"HMmm HMM," Seifer cleared his throat loudly in Toph's direction. He had noticed his young friend of sorts rifling through the halls immediately after dinnertime and thought it would be wise to follow up on his suspicions. Naturally, she happened to put herself in a situation where his prefect position could put him on the higher end of authority. He awaited her reaction to his greeting.

Toph had felt Seifer coming, but had hoped he would turn in a different direction. Why did he always have to show up at such inopportune times?

"What do you want?" The opening to the passage was open now. If she really wanted, she could hop inside and race to Hogsmeade, but she was sure Seifer would follow her or try to keep her in the castle. She folded her arms and tapped her foot, impatient for him to go away.

Seifer looked to her and quietly strode forward to her. "Well, with your wand out, the entrance open, and that gurgling in your tummy, I think it's more about what you want. Food, butterbeer, candy, trouble or all of the above?" he said while smirking.

"Relax, Toph. You forget who you're talking to," he said to her, placing a hand on her back and patting it. "What's been happening? Haven't seen you around too much lately."

[blindearthgirl]

He was right. She had forgotten who she was talking to. As if Seifer would rat her out. All she had to do was invite him along, and she was in the clear.

"You forget, Trouble is my middle name. Of course it's all the above." She punched the prefect in the arm. "It's been so boring around here. I've got to do something with myself, or I'll go crazy. What do you say I treat you to butterbeer?" She took out her purse and swung it in front of his face. It was jammed full, as her parents always gave her more than enough money to do what she wished.

have a Kono?

Konohamaru was sulking as he made his way out of the Great Hall, a frown on his face and his arms crossed over his chest. Of course they didn't have any pumpkin tarts left when he got there-and how unfair was that? So what if he had taken an extra fifteen minutes to get to the dining hall because he was busy taking a nap? They really should have more of those things to begin with!

The sound of his stomach rumbling was drowned out when Konohamaru heard voices, and his frown morphed into a perplexed stare as he followed the noise.

His mood evaporated when he saw Toph, a fellow Gryffindor in his year, and some big scary looking guy talking near what looked to be a secret escape.

"A tunnel? COOL!" Konohamaru declared, peeking around Toph and Seifer to get a good look at the thing, "Where's it go?"

はい！

[blindearthgirl]

Toph grinned and turned her head towards the voice. Making of Seifer's girlfriend would have to come at another time.

"Only to Hogsmeade. I don't know about you, Konohamaru, but it's gotten pretty boring around here. Wanna come?" She had more than enough money to spare, and she would enjoy the company now that Seifer wouldn't be joining her. Besided, Konohamaru was fun to hang out with.

"Hogsmeade? The place that only third years can go?" He grinned, flashing Toph a thumbs-up, "I'm totally coming!!"

He walked over, getting a closer look at the tunnel, "Did you find these, Toph? Are there anymore?" His mind was already coming up with the sort of pranks he could pull with the elaborate series of secret tunnels.

¿83¢? ...sorry, I'm a bit random atm. >>;

Seifer looked down at the two younger students conversing about the prospect of using the tunnels freely. Obviously, his obligations as a prefect would be to inform the teachers of the tunnels, their purpose, and how they should be sealed away to protect the younger students. However, he was the most non-traditional prefect in the school (if not in the school's history).

He placed his gloved hands on both Konohamaru and Toph's heads in admiration of their spirit. "Alright, kiddos, I'm heading out. Few things before I go. You just discovered the tunnel now, you were just investigating where it led, and nobody ever approached you about it. Got it? Good." He gave a small knock on the shoulder to Toph. "Take care, and I'll see ya soon." He then looked to Kono and simply waved a hand goodbye.
