An Innocent Nap

[Anastasie Vernier]

<FONT font="georgia">Ana was excited for the Christmas holidays. She didn't particularly like being at Hogwarts and was more interested in studying than socialising as socialising always seemed to get her into trouble. She wasn't sure if it was the people at Hogwarts however as she seemed to get along with her step-brother just fine, and was still deciding whether or not she should ask her mother to move. It wouldn't be hard to do so, and her mother would definitely allow her, but considering it was only her first year, she wasn't sure if the hassle was wise or not. With a shrug, Anastasie left her dormitory and headed upstairs to the Student Lounge with a novel under her arm where it would hopefully be a bit more quieter. She was glad for the end of the semester and the exams as it definitely lifted a lot of weight off her shoulders. For now, she was just waiting to get back home after the fuss of the Yule Ball and curled herself up in one of the arm chairs, burying herself in her book and slowly drifting off to sleep.​

Phoebe enjoyed being at Hogwarts a lot, but still felt happy to go home for Christmas soon. It was always nice to see her parents again, and she missed her youngest sister. It felt strange to have three out of four in one place, and she felt bad for Alice. Her youngest sister was still at home, and she would have hated being the last one to go to Hogwarts. Waiting for her turn after Rose had been bad enough. Phoebe hoped she could spend some time with her friends before the semester ended, looking around for someone to hang out with. After checking the common room and a few of the corridors, she ended up in the student lounge. Not seeing any of her friends, she was about to move on when she did notice someone else. Her target. The assassin game had been going on for a while now, and Phoebe was one of the last four standing. Her competitiveness was still alive, even if the game wasn't on the forefront of her mind the way it had been at the start. But this was a lucky break, it even looked like the girl was asleep. Phoebe smirked, lit up her wand, and approached. She raised her wand and attempted to tap the younger girl.

Anastasie dozed, her head buried in her lap as her book lay open to the page she was reading. When she heard someone coming in she moved slightly, having become slightly aware of her surroundings. As they came closer to her she raised her head, and at the sight of the girl's wand, Ana quickly dodged her attempt to assassinate her and smirked before rubbing her eyes and stretching in her seat. "You'll have to try harder." she told the girl before closing her book and placing it next to her. There was no way that she was going to lose the game, even though she was still half asleep.​

Phoebe shrugged and tucked her wand away. "I had to try." She said with a smile. "Are you okay?" The girl looked young, Diana's age, and she wondered what caused her to be asleep in a public place like this. "You're lucky I wasn't someone trying to prank you or like draw on your face or something." She said with a shrug. "You didn't forget where your common room was, did you?"
