Right?
right?
Peering around the corner she couldn’t see her and just – frowned – was she even there yet? As she turned she just happened to see what looked to be a flash of hair ducking under a table and the gryffindor’s eyebrow arched upwards curiously.
Walking over and ducking under the table she just looked at the girl and then at the wood, “what are you looking for?” she asked quietly, hoping not to startle her.
She should have brought a light or something with her in order to be better able to examine the underside of the table, but of course she forgot.
She also forgot she was a witch and could just, you know, use her WAND. So instead she reached up to feel along it the underside, praying she didn't touch some disgusting gum from a previous student instead. But suddenly, she felt a small groove and she was going to try to look at it more closely when...
Boom.
As quiet as her company was, it still scared her enough that she bumped her head on the table above her.
"Ouch." She rubbed her head lightly before turning to smile at the older girl.
"Oh, hey..." What was she looking for?
"My dad said in his seventh year he and his best friend carved their name in the underside of a study table. I was hoping this one was still in the right place and I could find it." She looked up to see the groove she had found earlier was just a notch in the wood.
She crawled out and leaned back on her heels, giving up her search momentarily.
"How are you?"
