Sammy looked around the study area. Empty. Perfect. She sat down and looked at the table, trying to figure out it's origins.

Vespasia "Lux" Durrien walked into the Study Area, hoping to have a little bit of time to review some of her work before it was due in two days' time. If she finished before curfew, she planned on taking a bit of time to read a book.

Sammy didn't hear Lux walk in, she just continued staring at the table.

Lux sat down on the floor in one of the corners. She didn't want to disturb the girl that was already sitting at the table, seeing as said girl had already been here and looked quite intent on her work.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"Ah!" Sammy exclaimed, figuring out the tables origin at last.

[[deleted user]]

Lux jumped when she heard the other girls exclamation. She hit her head on the wall. "Ouch!"

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy finally looked up. "Greetings." She said.

[[deleted user]]

"Hello!" Lux said, smiling a little at Sammy. "How are you, fellow Ravenclaw?"

((BRB. . .Dinner))

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

((Bye.))
"All my organs are functioning properly." Sammy said, examining the girl in front of her. Sammy recognized her. "Vespasia, correct? Parents divorced when you were eight? Traveled a lot?"

[[deleted user]]

((I am back))

"Yeah, I'm Vespasia, but I prefer to be called Lux. And you're Sammy, right?" Lux replied, sticking out her hand for Sammy to shake.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"Correct." Sammy said.

[[deleted user]]

"So, what's your story then?" Lux asked.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"I am an orphan." Sammy said, and then wondered if the chairs were of the same origin as the table.

[[deleted user]]

"Oh, I'm sorry," Lux said. "How did you know so much about me?"

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy didn't seem to hear, and was frowning at the chair Lux was sitting in.

[[deleted user]]

"What?" Lux said, prodding Sammy with a quill.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy glanced up and sneezed. "I'm allergic to certain quills." She said. "I know so much about you because I tend to listen in when people talk. I've been told you only ever hear bad things about yourself when you eavesdrop, but I haven't. I have not heard anything about me, actually."

[[deleted user]]

"Oh, sorry. Didn't realize," Lux said. "I've hardly seen you in the 4 years you've been here; you stick to the shadows."

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"Almost like Batman." Sammy remarked, frowning at the chair again.

[[deleted user]]

Lux just stared at her. "Who?"

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy didn't answer. Then, "Ah, I was right."

[[deleted user]]

"What?" Lux exclaimed, exasperated that someone knew more than she.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"The chair is of the same origin of the table!" Sammy cried, excited at her discovery.
((I have to go. bye.))

[[deleted user]]

((Bye!))

"What?" Lux asked, still confused.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

((back for a bit.))
"Nothing." Sammy said, then quieter, "Mundanes."

[[deleted user]]

((Kay))

"What?" Lux said before returning to her work.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy didn't say anything. She was now engrossed in what Lux was studying, and wondering at its beginning.

[[deleted user]]

Lux slammed her book shut and pulled out one of her journals.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy was still thinking about the study book, and was disappointed when Lux shut it. She brightened when Lux pulled out her journal. "May I see?"

[[deleted user]]

Lux grimaced. "Uh. . . .It's mostly just useless observations and historical details about some of the places I've been. And some random complaints about arguing family members. Nothing interesting, really."

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"Ah, but I find reading about how people think very interesting." Sammy said, thinking about the time she stole a diary from a roommate.

[[deleted user]]

"Er. . .I don't tend to show them to people. . ." Lux murmured.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy considered stealing it, like she had done with the other girl's. But she hesitated.

[[deleted user]]

As if sensing Sammy's thoughts, Lux added, "And I've hexed them with a spell that'll activate if someone other than me tries to use them."

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Dang it! Sammy thought. "Oh well. I guess that's okay." And then she thought of how many people she might be able to convince to let her read their journals/diaries.

[[deleted user]]

Lux stared at Sammy. "Why are you so interested in invading my privacy?"

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"Not your privacy. I am perfectly happy invading someone else." Sammy said. "And, I guess you could say it is a fetish of mine."

[[deleted user]]

"Can you not do it to me, please?" Lux asked, glaring at Sammy.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"I can't since yo have hexed your journals." Sammy replied, bot noticing Lux's glare.

[[deleted user]]

"I meant all my stuff," Lux clarified, "not just the journals."

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"oh. I wouldn't dream of it." Sammy said, with what she thought was a reassuring smile.

[[deleted user]]

Lux raised an eyebrow skeptically. "You wouldn't?"

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"Well, I might. I can't control my dreams." Sammy amended.

[[deleted user]]

Lux smiled, before reading one of the things she had written. She looked at it in distaste.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

Sammy smiled too. Rarely did someone smile when she spoke to them.

[[deleted user]]

Lux sighed as she read over what she had written. It was an older one of her journals, and she could not stand the way her writing had been.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"I know right?" Sammy asked, nodding.

[[deleted user]]

Lux glanced up at Sammy, alarmed. "Is there someone invisible there or something? I am under the impression you are talking to another person in the room." Lux stared unblinkingly at Sammy, trying to see if the other girl's motions would reveal anything about her.

[Lily , The #1 Fangirl]

"I was talking to you." Sammy said unflinchingly. "You were.frowning at your journal, and I can see that page has writing on it. So I assumed that you were upset with something you had written."
