Third Floor Common Room, Friday Afternoon

[noonedecidesmyfate]

Belle had only recently discovered the joy of iced tea and was thrilled to walk into the common room and find a large pitcher of it just sitting on the counter, ready to be consumed.

She poured herself a glass, rummaged through the cupboards until she found a package of cookies, and took a seat on the couch.

The TV was already on, so the book she'd brought with her was lying on the couch beside her while she decided whether or not the cartoon that was playing was worth watching. She did enjoy stories of princesses and this seemed to be one.

[Open common room is open, naturally]

"It wasn't what I expected," Belle agreed.

Nobody expects Fandom.

"Was your other school at all like this?"

"Well... it was a school for magic." That one day had had him flying a broom in a common room, that meant he could talk about it, right? "Some things are similar, like people turning into things, but that's usually because of a spell."

"Everyone there could do magic? That sounds very exciting."

Magic was exciting!

"Did you turn into anything else there? I was a child here one weekend." And Five had given her so much more coffee than any small child should drink. "I didn't know that could happen."

"I didn't, no. I saw a guy I hate turned into a ferret once, though," Harry said, smiling. "What's it like actually turning into something like that?"

[noonedecidesmyfate]

"I've never seen a ferret." Draco deserved it though.

"It didn't seem odd at all at the time. Once the weekend was over and I was back to myself it was a bit odd."
