"I know I'm gonna fall asleep in it one of these days," he added with a short chuckle.
"I'm Paulie, by the way." Oh, hello introductions.
"That might as well happen to me, " Charles agreed nodding and eyeing the armchairs wistfully. The common room was always the best place to spend leisure time, you got entertained just looking around at everyone going about their usual stuff. Charles knew that he should be doing something useful now that he had time, but he just couldn't get up and besides, sitting here and getting to know more Gryffindors was easier.
And much more productive
"Nice to meet you Paulie, I'm Charles." Charles extended his hand.

"But, I find some of their treatment downright cruel. Did you hear about that poor dragon that was kept locked up in Gringotts? Trained to expect pain when a certain noise was made. It's horrible...I can't even imagine how their tortured the poor creature. Dragons surely have a high tolerance for pain." She paused for a moment to think about his next question. "I suppose it depends on how you define intelligent."
She eyed him for a moment and didn't entirely believe his comment. "I am talking far too much about the subject," she said, still with a slightly blush on her cheeks. "I don't want to bore you..." She then fumbled with her skirt a bit.
"What?" Charles asked, looking at her with his eyes wide open. He's never heard of ANY dragons in Gringotts! He realised a minute too late that it might be some well known fact that he had neglected to learn about, and that it would be highly embarrasing to appear ill-informed on the subject but he had let the question escape him. "I mean, er .. really? There had been a dragon there?" He asked her, cocking his head to one side.
"Hmm .." He said, pondering her answer. It made sense, at least in his brain but he still couldn't quite comprehend how some people would have interest in things like dragons. Especially tender-looking girls. Yet maybe it was one of those things in a person's nature, like in his case he liked ... pretty much everything that wasn't useful. xD "So there aren't any speacial things about dragons? Other than the immense strenght and the fire-breathing quality?" He added, grinning cheekily.
"I'm not bored, " Charles said earnestly. He has never known these information on dragons, and he was having fun! Maybe this was his 'type' of studying prefrence as Cherry used to call it, he liked to know stuff by talking to people, although he didn't quite like to think of it that way. "It's interesting, this stuff about dragons!" He nodded enthusiastically.
