Hogwarts: Covered Bridge, early evening

It's after dinner and studying that Aloysius Crumrin (7th year, Slytherin) takes himself outside to the Covered Bridge for a smoke and perhaps a bit of woolgathering, though he'd never admit it. There is drizzle in the air that promises a wet evening but he is enjoying it as it reminds him of his home in California.

Company wouldn't be a bad thing really, a fact he might even admit to.

"The professors have plenty of people to tsk at, dont' worry about that."

She grins, knowing full well that he would reply with a charm like that and leans against the wall of the brdige, looking out over the forest. "Anything exciting happening out here?"

"I wouldn't stop them from throwing rocks," Dinah muses. "Unless there was someone they were throwing them at."

"Yes, well, that's Will," Dinah says, unbothered by it. "He likes to walk the circuit. Never goes far in."

Dinah cocks him a sideways look. "Who said anythingn about being useful?"
serinusniger: (grin)

Dinah stops short of pointing out that Aloysius never knows what to make of people.

"He seems nice. I went to say hi, once. He gave me tea."

Mind you, around Hogwarts these days, adults giving you tea isn't always the best thing.

"Sorry, Aloysius," Dinah replies consolingly.

"maybe you need out hang out more with Professor Brown."
serinusniger: (grin)

"No, just offer to help her lcear out Pixies," Dinah assures him. "I can thikn of worse waays to pass the time."

"Yeah," Dinah agrees wholeheartedly.

She's quiet for a second, letting the conversation settle, then: "I'm going to need you to watch the fort next week. I'm leaving the castle for a few days."

The impulse, with a question like that would be to say yes, everything's fine, but since that would be a lie, she just smiles wryly.

"A funeral. Family friend."

"We were close," she confirms soberly.

"I don't want to talk about it, if you don't mind?"
serinusniger: (sly)

"You weren't prying."

It's just painful.

"And no. No I don't. Nothing disasterous is going to happen. But the prefects know what they're doing."
serinusniger: (sly)

"Merlin's beard, Aloysius," Dinah says. "How you made prefects I'll never know."

She says it fondly, mocking a real admonishment, and accepts the flask, because they're legal adults and they can drink what they like.

"Will?"

Dinah considers this, and grins. "If you can tear him away from Quidditch. He'll make a great Head Girl."
