Second floor common room- Wednesday evening

[imawizard]

This had been the strangest day Harry had had since he was here, and he'd gone to the common room to decompress. Maybe watch something. Maybe talk to people.

And what happened was he decided he was gonna get on a broom and play Quidditch in the common room sooooooo there was that.

Belle thought the Quidditch playing was just charming, and smiled at Harry as she entered.

"You fly!"

[imawizard]

"I do!" Harry said, grinning. "Not usually in here!"

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle, much younger than usual, smiled again. "I never met anyone who could fly before," she confessed shyly.

[imawizard]

"Maybe you have and you just don't know it," Harry said excitedly.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle was back to her usual size and smiled at Harry again.

"Ooh, maybe!" That was a good thought, Harry!

[imawizard]

"I mean, I could be wrong," he added.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle turned away then, much more interested in the book that had suddenly appeared in her hand than in her classmate who could fly.

[imawizard]

This was why people wrote songs, Belle.

"What've you got there?" Harry asked, concerned.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Ale," Belle said, draining the mug that had replaced the book in her hands.

"Would you like some?" Too bad if you did, she only had the one mug.

[imawizard]

Well, his reaction was to kiss her, so maybe he was really grateful for the offer?

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Oh, that's enough of that," Belle said, side-eyeing Harry for the attempt.

The boys at this school! Ugh!

[imawizard]

"Sorry about that," he said, sheepish. "Just seemed like the thing to do."

[noonedecidesmyfate]

He was already forgiven because a plate of pancakes had just appeared in front of Belle.

"Ooh, pancakes!"

"Hello!" Clare said with a smile.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Hello," Belle said, eyeing Claire suspiciously.

Was she going to start flying too?

[craic_killer]

Clare was going to be very sincere at her instead. "It's been a very odd day, hasn't it?"

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"You've noticed it too?" Belle asked, looking surprised even though that was clearly ridiculous of her.

[craic_killer]

Well, Clare randomly had a book back in her hand, so yes. "I have," she said emphatically.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Where did you get that book?" Belle asked.

Had you stolen it, Clare?

[craic_killer]

"It's mine!" Clare said, bursting into tears.

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"Oh, is it any good?" Belle asked, smiling at the other girl now that she was crying.

Belle, why.

[craic_killer]

Clare smiled back because sure, everyone's weird today. "It's very good!"

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Two smiles in a row. Lucky you, Clare!

"What is it? May I see?"

[craic_killer]

"Of course," Clare said. "It's about the whale?"

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"I've never read anything about whales," Belle said, suddenly very serious.
