She simply continued to read the details about the ingredient in the Wit-Sharpening potion, when she heard Serenity say something.‘Hmm?’, the fifth year mused, raising her eyes from the book and looking back at the girl.
Hmm.
What now?
‘You can go ahead and throw it in the fountain’, she said nonchalantly. All riiiight. Maybe that was a bit too much. Though... she was still sticking to her point of view. Throwing coins in a fountain and making wishes was silly. Maybe she should apologize? Naah. After all, Serenity hadn’t been so very nice either. Meh. Consider it even. Though, the Ravenclaw was a bit sorry.
Just a bit.
She then drew her attention to the Potions book, then once again back to Serenity. ‘Do you want to sit?’, she asked the young Slytherin. Her way of making peace with the girl. Mehh. Not that she would admit it, but she didn’t really mind her presence. After all, Serenity did seem to be a bit more promising than some of the firsties.

Presley stomped up to the fountain, and sat down next to Gwen who was reading some potions book. Her roommate always had been into potions. Completely disregarding the somewhat familiar looking first year Presley looked at the other fifth year. "Gwen, do you know how to be sympathetic?" She wasn't even being snotty or sarcastic. She was genuinley asking a question. Hopefully Gwen recognized that, and didn't think Pres was trying to be rude.
Hmm. So the Ravenclaw still held no intrest in throwing coins into the fountain? Whatever. Serenity would give up. Gwen would probably NEVER throw a coin into a fountain, inless by accident. And Serenity would continue to throw coins in the fountain. Even in ten years time. Merlin! That was ages away. Well, years. Still, she'd be 21. Gosh that seemed much too old? Well, nearly twenty-two actually, since she would be twelve in December, and even that seemed a long time away, though it felt like such a small number.
She almost wondered what potion she was reading about. Serenity and Lex had decided they really needed to learn loads of potions and spells, so they could go around jinxing people and stuff. Yeah. Well, no, for
self-defence . Still, Seri didn't even know where the library was, and she wasn't sure she was ready to trek off there quite yet, considering she also had no idea where it was and didn't fancy getting lost. It also sounded as though it must be enormous. She'd get lost on the way to the library and then again in the library.
Fine then, she'd have her rusty coin back. She would send off for her parents to get a load of sweets for her. Well, there wasn't a lot she could get for a knut. Seri rolled her eyes and shrugged, whatever.
"You don't have to believe in it, but you won't stop me from.. wishing." Well, one day it MIGHT come true, however unlikely. She still had faith. Yeah, she'd put this coin at the bottom of the fountain, but a bit later. Her grandparent had once given her and each of her brothers a galleon. They'd put it towards a Nimbus or sweets but she was still young and had wished for something in the fountain. Her brothers teased her about the wasted galleon.
Mmckay, she would sit.
"Alright." Seri shrugged. And theen another kid appeared. Something to Gwen about being sympathetic.. Hmm? She was probably about Gwen's age and another Ravenclaw. Hmm, was she another one into books who thought making wishes in a fountain was pointless.
