Closed ran the red

[Eurydice Nightray]

It was still early into the term, and Eurydice had been trying to decide on which clubs she should join up with this year. Last year, she'd been looking forward to joining Heta Omega, and she had. It was nothing like her mum said it would be. Well, there were probably nice girls in the club, but Eury didn't know many of the people there except Rose. And for some reason, most of the student population tended to forget Rose existed, which was just rude. She was slowly contemplating asking Rose if both of them should just leave the sorority altogether since it was doing absolutely nothing for either of them. Eury was planning to join the SDA this year, though. She hadn't seen a need to join it last year, but after what happened with the Slytherin hag, it seemed that learning defensive (and offensive) spells would be the best course of action. Maybe she would ask Rose if she wanted to come with her there. Or maybe join the Wild Patch - that was a quiet club, right? How to broach the subject with her cousin, though, Eury hadn't decided on yet. But she was sure that she didn't want to leave Heta Omega if it meant leaving Rose behind. It was fine, she could think of a way. There was no telling anyway at what point Rose would decide to leave the confines of the Common Room. So Eurydice might have quite the long wait ahead of her (hopefully not).​

 

[Victoria de Lacey]

The start of the new year was daunting, and it wasn't just because she wasn't going to be with her brother this year, though that was definitely part of it. She wondered constantly what Rory was doing and she knew she was going to have to figure out what she wanted to do without him here. She did hope that spending some time with Professor Zumwalt was going to help since she would have a lot free time now, well, maybe not a lot, but definitely enough and that was the main thing, right? She headed out of the common room and was going to look for Nox or Susie when she realised that someone was standing outside the common room. "Oh, Eurydice," she didn' know what the other girl wanted, but she supposed she should find out, so that she could help her, or get her to leave, or whatever other combination of things were happening that she could work out for her. She must have been waiting for William again she assumed, since that was who she had been looking for earlier. "He's not in the common room, so he might have already left earlier," she said, hoping to head her off at the pass.​
