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.

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.
Even though she was still sticking to her point of view, that didn’t mean that Serenity couldn’t have hers.
‘Fine by me’, she said simply, after having heard the young Slytherin talk. She then moved a bit to the right to make room for Serenity on the bench as well.
The fifth year was ready to make peace with the young Slytherin, actually considering apologizing to the girl. That may not be a bad plan. Just as she was thinking about this, the Ravenclaw heard footsteps approaching the place where they were sitting.
Who was it?
Gwendolyn drew her attention to the other person, and was surprised to see Presley sitting next to her. Did she know how to be sympathetic?
No. Although her first reaction was to reply a
‘no’, the fifth year stopped herself.
‘And hello to you too, Presley’, the Ravenclaw said, at first ignoring her Housemate’s question.
‘Isn’t it obvious?’, she finally gave some sort of an answer.
Mehh.
In the next moment, she drew her attention away from Presley and back to the firstie, then to her book. Guess her reading time was over.
Nice. Gwen just memorized the number of the page she had just started reading before she was interrupted.
