Charms was definitely one of Emmeline's favorite subjects, and the fact that her Head of House taught the subject made the lessons even better and stuff. Today, though, the second year's head was buzzing with lots of unrelated thoughts; they weren't even the FUN kind of distracting thoughts, which was kinda disturbing. All the weird stuff that had been happening in the castle was weighing on the twelve-year-old's mind, especially since the Gryffindor dorms had been ransacked and the blood that kept turning up in the entrance hall came from creatures. Both of those things were just...wrong. She didn't have a better word to describe the creepy, crawly feeling that seemed to constantly twist her stomach as she wandered the castle or entered her dorm room after being away for a while and stuff.

And and, today Stasya seemed all upset too. Emmeline wasn't sure why, but she knew better than to press the issue at the moment. At least, she didn't think that she should press it yet...

Thoughts of current events were still swirling around the second year's head as she entered the Charms classroom, immediately making a beeline for the empty seat next to Stasya. She only paused long enough to say, "Hiii, Professor Marchand," in a sort of distant tone and to vaguely note the presence of the boxes. Normally, she would've been super curious about what was in them and stuff, but not today; curiosity about the actual lesson seemed like the farthest thing from the girl's mind right now. She slid into the vacant seat next to Stasya and said quietly, "Hi, Stas. Hiii, Jessa." 'Cause she had just noticed that Stasya was sitting near Jessa, which meant that Emmeline was in talking-range with the Ravenclaw girl too. She bit her lip and sort of twisted her fingers together in a knot underneath the desk, debating with herself over what else to say to her best friend, and how best to offer help... Somehow, she had the reallllly bad feeling that chocolate frogs wouldn't fix whatever was bothering Stasya this time. She only hoped it wasn't TOO bad and stuff...
