Then her eyes fell on the object she had clutched tightly in her left hand which was the actual reason she was on this floor. Well, not the reason she was on this floor actually since once again she'd just somehow ended up on this floor but it didn't exactly matter on which floor she did her Charms homework. There were enough possibilities to practice the Alohomora charm on every floor, at least that's what Nancy'd thought until she'd stepped off the moving staircase and had found herself confronted with a pretty empty corridor with nothing, absolutely nothing to put that little lock in her hand on. Meh.
Just as Nancy was about to turn a corner with a rather sour look on her face she stopped dead in her tracks as she heard somekind of rustling, as if somebody turned pages of a book or something, from the other side of the corner. Maybe this was a chance to do her DADA assignment, hopefully it was somebody from another house who had one of those DADA-badges pinned to their robes. She waited for a few seconds before gripping her wand tightly with her right hand and rounding the corner her wand immediately aiming at that certain someone who was standing there apparently reading a book.
A surprised gasp escaped her lips as she finally recognized whom she'd just almost hexed and she quickly let her arm fall to her side with an apologetic look on her face. "Mariel! Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you." Well, she hadn't actually hexed her friend so there should be no need for apologies in the first place but whatever, just in case.

Mariel instinctively tightened the grip on her wand and snapped her eyes up and away from her book as she was certain she heard footsteps approaching. Great, she was sure it was someone about to hex her. Either that or her paranoia was definitely increasing. Hopefully it would be someone she was well-matched against. It just wouldn't be fair if it was some seventh-year equipped with an arsenal of non-verbal spells.
Holding her wand at the ready, she felt her pulse quicken as a figure turned the corner. The Ravenclaw girl was prepared. She would not attack first just in case it was someone from her own house or one not wearing a badge, but would be ready with a shield if the need would arise.
Relief flooded her face when she saw that it was Nancy. She was glad to see her lower her wand, because, though they weren't in the same house, Mariel wouldn't have been able to hex her friend. Maybe for fun in the dueling arena, but not a surprise attack in the corridors. The Ravenclaw girl lowered her wand as well, still keeping it out in case of someone else wandering around, and grinned at her friend.
"Hey Nancy," she said, then waved her hand dismissively as she apologized.
"No worries, we all need to be on constant alert." Unless you want some nasty hex cast on you, which did not entice the dark-haired girl in the least.
"So, wasn't flying class awesome?" she said with a grin.
"I think flying dodgeball is almost as fun as Quidditch." Almost. Was anything as fun as Quidditch? Mariel didn't think so.
"And the Slytherclaws were victorious," she added with a giggle. But speaking of Quidditch...
"Hey, I saw your name on Slytherin's roster. Congratulations! Beater is a fun position. You can really take out your aggressions on those bludgers." Not to mention hitting them towards people.
Mariel froze at her last words, hearing more footsteps. Gripping her wand tightly, she turned slightly to face the direction of the sound of an approaching person. Smirking as she saw a younger Huffie girl, she raised an eyebrow as the girl actually greeted her before sending a hex her way.
"Protego," the Ravenclaw girl said casually as she flicked her wand in the correct motion, her shield charm deflecting the Canary Transfiguration Hex and sending it back to her. Mariel followed that with an x-shaped flick of her wand and commanded,
"Verto genu!" And sent the
Knee-reversing hex towards the Hufflepuff girl.
"Just a friendly little tip," she told the girl dryly.
"Don't announce your presence if you want to surprise someone." This could be kind of fun, but also annoying. She
was trying to have a conversation with Nancy. A bit difficult to do when warding off unfriendly spells. Winking at Nancy, Mariel turned back to the Hufflepuff and said with a malicious grin,
"So... are you gonna take on both of us?"
