“for sure,” lucy commented, falling silent as she shifted her attention back to her book. there was nothing else to talk about; she may be in a good mood, but she wasn’t patient enough to listen to the other’s concerns.

“Well I’ll...get out of your hair. Maybe I just need to sleep these worries away or something. I don’t think I’ll get any work done anyways...” Piper said softly, still not being able to shake her concern. “Thank you again.” She started to gather her things, hoping that maybe on the way to her common place she could find something to distract her mind.

“oh, stop it, you,” james rasped out, feigning bashfulness. “if you like my smile so much, then just ask for one—i’ve got plenty to go around.” he batted his eyelashes at piper, “that’s one of the advantages of bein’ a pretty face, i suppose. free food.”

“That’s all I have to do? Well now that I know that...” Piper teased, her smile instantly growing. “Be careful though I may ask for smiles too often.” She shook her head, “Oh goodness I hope you get more than free food. You deserve endless compliments as well.”

Scorpius nodded, sighing and glancing down at his book, the words blurring in front of him. “Me too. It’s this pit in my stomach. Like something bad is coming,” he said. “I’ve never believed much in divination but I really feel like there’s this energy in the air and it’s not good.” He shook his head, shooting Piper a small, forced smile. “I’m not helping am I? Sorry.”

Piper glanced down at the paper she was doodling on instead. Hoping if she could think of something else it would be the perfect distraction. But all she could think about was what he said. God, it was almost like he was reading her mind, it was exactly what she was thinking and feeling. Finally her eyes met his when he spoke again, returning the smile. “No...no you’re fine. Its almost nice to know I’m not the only one who is feeling so worried. I was starting to think I was just overreacting.”

Valentino watched the girl, vaguely entertained by her genuine distress over the situation. Still, he was committed to the act. “Me too… It almost feels like the professors are hiding something from us,” he said slowly, chewing on his lip to add to the air of anxiety he was trying to portray. 

“I totally agree...I don’t know why they won’t tell us more.” She said softly then glanced back down at her lap moving her hands to fiddle with her sweater. Needing to do something to distract herself. “Have you heard anything yet?”

“Everyone’s so grouchy these days, don’t you lot realize you’re going to get crow’s feet – or worse, frown lines!?” Estelle crinkles her nose in disgust at the thought. Perhaps not the most tasteful of comments considering the situation, but her mouth had the tendency to run off thoughtlessly. A third year went missing, which was obviously tragic. Estelle was as torn up about it as anyone with half a mind, she just found ignoring the unfortunate things made carrying about as usual far easier. In a rare moment of genuine kindness, she clears her throat. “All things considered, how’re you handling it all?”

[mspiperlynn]

Piper moved her hands over her face, her fingers wandering over the places the dark haired woman mentioned. “You think so?” She mumbled under her breath. It was hard for her to even think about things like that. Not when she was so worried about the missing student and the possible threat. “To be honest?” She started after her question, “Not to well...I don’t have a good feeling about all of this.”

It wasn’t often one would find Molly Weasley breaking the rules, though occasionally she’d make an exception in the name of relaxation. With everything gone awry at Hogwarts, even she needed an escape from it all. Everything was momentarily right in the world as she sat atop the Astronomy tower, her wand casting a gentle glow, a throw blanket thrown over her legs, and a book in her lap. However, her peace of mind is fleeting as the sound of ascending footsteps pull a grown from her lips. “Hello..? Who’s there?”

[mspiperlynn]

Piper knew she needed to get away, worries and concerns were getting to her. She would jump at any possible sound she heard, always looking over her shoulder. So she went to one place she knew she could get some fresh air and some peace and quiet. That is when she headed to the astronomy tower. Hearing a voice as she headed up the stairs. “Oh....sorry. I didn’t know someone else would be up here.” She started as she came up to the top of the stairs, “Its me...Piper.”

It was not uncommon to find Mason in the library. After all, he still took pride in keeping up with his studies. He instantly looked up from his book to the person who took a seat in front of him. Mason was very observant and he wondered if they were here for homework, distraction or something else. He arched a brow, “You alright?” 

[mspiperlynn]

Normally Piper would go to the library to work on homework or doodle but today she was sitting there with a book just to be in some peace and quiet. The library was pretty much her safe space apart from the common place. She took a moment to glance up to look around the room. That is when she met eyes with Mason, she offered him a small smile at what he said. “I’m doing okay. Still a bit on edge from the news the other day.” 

[ximena--vane-blog]

   Ximena didn’t really know what was going on. Despite the outrage, prefects were not told the circumstances of the situation with the message in the Great Hall. She did not liked to be questioned however. “Ezekiel is none of your concern and I do not need to answer to you. The situation is being handled. Now head back to your common room before I deduct house points. I will not ask again. It is well past curfew.” 

[mspiperlynn]

Piper was getting to the point where she wanted some answers. She needed some form of comfort or solace. “Sorry...I didn’t mean to bother you, that wasn’t my intention at all.” Piper glanced down at her hands. “I just...I was worried.” She too a breath then adjusted her bag on her shoulder. “I’ll just go back to my room.” 

[alpottcr]

Al sat perched upon a tree branch, staring idly at the sky. He’d found solace in trees ever since he was a little boy; they made him feel safe from all the worries of the world beneath him. He’d needed that escape a lot after the nightwalkers announcement. A gentle rustle called his attention down where a person walking nearby. “Hi,” he called out. “I don’t mind if you want to sit out here or anything. Just, you know, letting you know I’m up here. You’d be surprised how many people don’t notice someone sitting in a tree.”

[mspiperlynn]

Piper decided to step outside and do some drawing, after finishing homework she needed to do something to distract her mind. Which has been running wild since the news of the missing student and the nightwalkers. She nearly jumped when she heard a voice from above and glanced up. A small smile grew on her face, “Thank you for the heads up. I actually wouldn’t mind knowing there is someone else around.” She sat down her bag by the tree, “What brings you out here?” 

[wolfalarik]

the mood around the castle was still solemn with the news of the missing student. days had gone by and noelle found that she was still having a hard time smiling when she normally had before. did she know the student personally? no, but she had had a small crush on the older student last year, making a bit silly of her to feel this deeply for him. it wasn’t like they had dated, just a small school girl crush and here she was worried sick over him. that and the fact it could have happened to her. anyone really. perhaps that was why she had kept to herself the past few days, barely talking and when she was spoken to all she could say was, “that sounds….great.” like now. “really, we can go do that if you want…sounds fun…”

[mspiperlynn]

“Are you alright?” She asked after a moment, not even noticed how she had been rambling about going on a walk. It was easy to ramble when her mind seemed to be going on and on about what could have happened to the other student. “Are you thinking about...what happened too? I can’t help but be worried to. And the fact that there are no answers about it yet? I don’t know how anyone is suppose to relax.” 

[kindxcness]

alice did not feel good- she felt her legs jitter as she looked down and she nodded at the words of the other, but she couldn’t concentrate. her thoughts were running wild- the fear she felt earlier was slowly coming back and as much as she tried to focus on something else, she couldn’t. ‘sorry-i’ she finally said, moving a hand through her hair.’-didn’t quiet get that, what did you need help with again?’

[mspiperlynn]

To say Piper had been on edge would be an understatement. She couldn’t seem to understand how other students could be carrying on normally. But when she saw Alice she realized that maybe she wasn’t alone. “Are you okay?” She asked, waiting a moment until she responded. “I just...wanted to know if you were okay. The news shook me...and I had a feeling I can’t be the only one who felt the same.” 

[snakevalentino-blog]

Ever since the announcement at breakfast, the school had felt on edge. Valentino sighed loudly from his perch at the top of the steps leading out to the courtyard, fixing a distraught expression on his face and turning to the nearest person. “It’s awful what they said at breakfast, isn’t it?” He said, pitching his voice higher to mimic anxiety about the situation. “He must be fine, right? Ezekiel, I mean.”

[mspiperlynn]

Piper turned her attention to Valentino once he spoke, honestly spacing out just moments before. She felt herself getting jittery and on edge, her arms wrapped around herself. Almost longing for a sense of comfort. “God I really hope that he is. I wish...there were more answers about what happened.”

it was bewildering, how people wasted their time caring about somebody insignificant. “i know so,” lucy offered the girl yet another smile, “i don’t see any reason to be concerned. zeke’s rather… adventurous. maybe he wanted to spend a few more days waddling around.”

“That’s true...and people always talk about how they wish they had a day or two longer to explore.” Piper tried to continue on, wanting to do anything to relax her mind. She let out a breath and returned the smile. “Thank you...it is just so easy to get worried.”

[mspiperlynn]

james beamed at the array of snacks piper had laid out for him; he’d been expecting a piece of candy, not this. “oh, wow,” james chewed down on his lip as he examined his choices. when it came to snacks, james was an indecisive guy. he took the small bar of chocolate and unwrapped it excitedly. “thanks, you’re the literal best,” he said happily, taking a huge bite of the bar.

To say she was amused by his reaction would be an understatement. “Okay I knew there was a reason to bring these snacks with me. That smile was totally worth it.” Piper shook her head then took a piece of chocolate for herself. “The best though? What an honor.” She placed a hand on her heart before letting out a giggle.  

[mspiperlynn]

james groaned, “your faith in me is incredible. even i don’t believe in myself that much.” james shot madam pince a coy wink as they entered the library—most students were still in class, so the library wasn’t overflowing with people. he led piper to a table close to the charms section, mostly for convenience. “pipes,” james whispered within a minute of attempting to write his essay, “have you got any snacks?”

“Well that is what I am here for, to remind people how how great they are. you deserve to hear it.” She assured as she followed his lead over to a table. Sitting her things down and starting to take out her books. She started to read through a page to take notes when she heard his voice. A smile growing on her face, “Yes, yes I do actually.” She pulled out a bag she had of some chocolates along with a salty snack as well. “Take your pick.” 

[mspiperlynn]

“i’m sure it’s nothing,” she assured the other gently, briefly glancing down at her book as she flipped to another page. “zeke will be back in no time. are you close to him?”

“You think so?” Piper asked, sitting down the quill that she was doodling with. “Oh I mean...not that close but I knew him in passing. But regardless it is still so concerning.”

[mspiperlynn]

Scorpius nodded. He’d somehow managed to be even more anxious than usual after he’d heard the news. “Yeah… I’m feeling a lot of the same,” he admitted, chewing on the end of his quill. “I’m trying to tell myself that it’s best not to assume the worst but…I also have this awful pit in my stomach. I kind of want to go home.”

Part of Piper wanted to be comforted in the fact that someone else was just as worried as her, but if anything it only increased her fears. “You too?’ she started to fiddle with the material of her sweater. The books and sketch book in front of her quickly was a thought in the back of her mind. “It is like a feeling that I can’t shake. No matter how hard I try it won’t seem to go away.”
