"No, I'm just growing old," he said with a bit of humor in his voice. It wasn't his housemates wearing him out. Heck, if it had been that he'd handle it with ease. It was other things that stressed him out and in order not to think of those things he tried to wear himself out so when it was bed time he'd just pass out.
He took the book he had set next to him and placed it over his lap. "How's it going, being Prefect and all?" he asked.
Realizing she'd startled her co-prefect awake, Sierra grinned then slowly started to laugh a little under her breath.
"You better tighten up, Prefect Escalante. I hear you're trying out for the Quidditch team this year?" she said, turning toward him a little. If it was true, then this was promising news. For Sierra, at least.
"Are you any good?" she asked.
She sat back and got herself comfortable.
"It's going pretty good," she said, commenting on what he'd asked about prefectship.
"I have a good partner, after all." She passed him a rare smile. This was all just random, everyday talk. She wanted to get to know him more. Specifically, was he still dating Aurora?
"So, how many years does this make for you and Aurora?" One? Two? Didn't matter anymore?
Yeah. She'd jumped right into that conversation.
