WHO: Edgar Bones and Gabrielle Bellamy WHEN: February 18th, 1:22AM WHERE: The Ravenclaw Common Room
It was late at night, but Edgar Bones was not asleep like the rest of his roommates. The soft sounds of Ludovic, Lorcan, Rookwood, and Krum sounded from all around him. He wished his own snores could join them, but for the life of him, he couldn’t sleep. His eyes were open, trained on the top of his canopy, staring at the blue top that looked nearly black in the darkness. He wasn’t sure how long he stayed awake lying there like that, but after what felt like three hours, he pushed himself out of his bed and grumpily grabbed his cigarette pack from his side table. To his extreme annoyance, it was empty, so he instead crossed around his bed to grab one from Ludovic. Sticking it between his lips, he lit it with the end of the wand before moving towards the door.
Maybe sitting by the fire would help.
Blowing out a puff of smoke as he started down the stairs, Edgar took them two at a time. When he reached the bottom, he was surprised to see that he wasn’t alone. Even more so, he was surprised to see Gabrielle sitting downstairs on one of the couches. She was in her pajamas, like him -- the color looked cute on her, he noted -- and she had a book open in her lap with a glass of wine in her hand. The stairs came down from behind her, so she hadn’t noticed him yet, which allowed him a moment to watch the back of her. A small smile grew on his lips, and he felt more at ease than he had in hours.
“Hey,” He called from behind her, putting his cigarette back to his lips, “What are you doing awake?”
