It was ALSO time to start with certain pranking activities that him and his dormmates had discussed. That'd help destress everyone, he hoped. Especially with people being trapped in the castle and going stir crazy and whatnot.
He wandered into the common room like he owned the place, which he supposed he did in a way, being a 7th year and all, and having called the place home for the past seven years now. And there was Scan and Derry. West saluted them casually and then threw himself on the longest couch, which still wasn't quite long enough to take his entire length given how tall he'd gotten.
Weird to think about how his feet hadn't even touched the end of the thing when he had stretched out here as a firstie, and now he had to bend his knees or have his feet right up on the end of it along with a kinked neck over the arm rest.
At least he was done with the getting taller thing... right?
A couple days after the awkward run in with a certain female Slytherin, Simon made sure to check his surroundings before entering the common room. Awkward run ins weren't fun- especially when they ended in two people kind of not talking to each other cause someone took something the wrong way and then the whole situation just got ten times worse.
Did this happen to other boys too?
He didn't know.
When he saw that the certain female wasn't in the common room, he made his way into it and saw an older boy lounging about on the couch. His blue eyes widened. Perhaps this guy would know the answer? Simon gave the older boy a nod and a smile.
Hey, how's it going?" he asked being more friendly than usual. Then he sat in the armchair near the fireplace and felt himself slowly sinking further into the comfy chair.
