𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐆𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆. she was in the middle of watching carmen sandiego on netflix when upperclassmen began ordering fellow ravenclaws out of their tower. in her opinion, since they were located in a tower she felt there was no reason for them to leave — they would be perfectly fine ! but no, no one was willing to agree with her. ‘ for a tower filled with the smartest kids in school, you’d think they’d think of this first, ’ she mumbled to herself.
now she sat abandoned on a table, unsure of where to go since she refuses to step foot in the revolting substance surrounding her thanks to that damned peeves. public schools in canada are wild, but something like this has never happened — if there were ghosts in her elementary schools, they sure as hell weren’t this fussy.
just as she thinks she might have to sacrifice her own pride and leave the dry table she found to be the safest place to be, the familiar voice of her saviour and best friend allowed relief to wash all over her. ‘ kyu ! ’ she smiled widely , not only at the sight of him but of his float as well. as soon as he came close enough for her to get on safely, she was holding onto his shoulders for dear life.
‘ as much as i have questions about your choice for a boat alternative, i’m glad you found me. ’
HE HADN’T BEEN looking for anyone in particular. yet, the moment he spotted alexa everything felt complete. duh! how could he possibly forget about his best friend? more importantly, how could he possibly have max amount of fun without her by his side. the hufflepuff beamed as the other joined his modest... boat, envisioning the surely majestic sight of the two bravely navigating the flooded corridors.
‘ well, what were you doing up on that table, silly? ’ he snorted, part laughter and part disgust. if only he’d packed some clothespins. ‘ weren’t you in a tower? or did you sense i had an epic plan... wow. that was it, huh? best friend telepathy. ’
he nodded in confirmation to himself. were the fumes making him delirious? was that even possible? regardless, they’d need to turn soon, which he hoped the current would be strong enough to guide the swan. ‘ i’m glad i found you, anyway. just the person i’d want to ride an inflatable bird down a sewage river with. ’ he flashed her a grin over his shoulder before diverting his attention forward.
