Sleep Walking

[Viviana Warrick]

Viviana Nacht had not sleep-walked in quite a few years. The last time she could remember sleepwalking was when her Uncle Ademar came to visit for a while, and that was from excitement and confusion. Though the petite Hufflepuff knew she was excited, she was not confused in any way. At least, she wasn't before going to bed. Now that she was awake and found herself in the Dungeons of the castle, she was plenty confused. Her plush pug hung loosely from her hand, and she looked down and noticed she had been conscience enough to slip into her slippers. Sighing, Viv looked behind her, and in front of her. She was surrounded by brick walls and scones that lit the way. If she had her new cat friend it wouldn't be as frightening. inf act, she didn't even have her wand on her. Viv couldn't even imagine what would happen if she was caught by a prefect. She hadn't really even gotten her foot in the door on her second year.

The brunette turned around for a brief moment, before sticking to her convictions and heading the way she had been pointing when she'd suddenly awoken. Clutching the pug to her chest she made her way down the hall, shuffling her feet. If she could find the potions class she would at least know where she was - but she would really have to wake up before remembering which way the stairs were from the door. As she came upon the end of the hall she saw a entrance to what looked like it might be the Slytherin dorms. "Darn it! I'm never gonna get outta here." She spoke in a hushed voice, in case someone on the other door heard her. It was too bad she couldn't just call for Saveli - she would know what to do.

 

[Kayleigh Zhefarovich]

The young blonde was sneaking through the halls, being as quiet as she thought was possible. Luckily, her shoes were soft, and she hadn't run into any problems yet. Kayleigh Hunter let one thought wander through her mind, why hadn't she asked Marius to escort her back to her dorm? The thought was quickly squashed from her mind, as her smarter voice fought back. They were on the opposite sides of the castle, it wouldn't make sense for them to travel together.
Kayleigh hadn't seen Marius since she arrived at Hogwarts, and she had missed seeing her friends. Desi had hung out with her a couple of days back, but when Marius and Kayleigh ran into each other, it was already getting pretty dark. Instead of arranging another time to meet, the two played around in the castle, spooking themselves and trying to not get caught. They were pretty lucky, though Kayleigh was sure it was because Marius had a better understanding of the castle than she did.
Running around the next corner, Kayleigh stopped and held her breath. She could hear footsteps. This was it. She didn't know how she was going to get past a Professor. She'd tell them the truth of course. Better serve detention with Marius than by herself. However, the hushed voice that spoke was not of a Professor, it sounded like a student, one her age give or take a couple of years. Poking her head around the corner, Kayleigh saw a girl standing in front of the Slytherin dorm in her pajamas. Cocking an eyebrow, Kayleigh walked out confidently towards her. "Trying to break in?" She asked suspiciously. "Or sneaking out? Though, I doubt any Slytherin would be keen to have a slumber party with you." Kayleigh said, confused.

[Viviana Warrick]

Viviana was more than startled by another voice in the corridor. The young brunette had to admit that she was also relieved to hear someone else in the hall. After all, she really had no clue where she was. With a hushed voice, Viviana spoke, "Hi, I'm Viviana Nacht! I'm a Hufflepuff. I used to sleep walk all the time back home when I was nervous or excited. I guess that followed me here because here I am. You must be a Slytherin since you're down here too. It's so nice to meet you! Can you help me find my way out of here? I'd rather not stay down here. Not that it isn't nice, after all, the lighting is interesting. It's just I don't want to get in trouble."

Finally after about two straight minutes of rambling, Viviana's mouth stopped moving. The now awake Hufflepuff shifted weight from one foot to the other. "I'm a Hufflepuff by the way. I guess it's kind of amazing I've made it this far, huh? I could have really hurt myself falling down some stairs, or gotten caught. Sleepy me is more talented than I am!" Her voice rose slightly toward the end, and she let out a small laugh to the girl in front of her, whom looked to be about her age, maybe a year younger or older. Viviana was not a good judge of age. As for the comment the girl had made before Viv's rambles had started, it seemed she was not fazed by it. She was consistently innocent to insults thrown her way. Perhaps that was why her best friend was one of the meanest, snakiest Slytherins.

 

[Kayleigh Zhefarovich]

Kayleigh was taken aback when the girl in front of her started talking at a hundred miles per hour. Her mouth slightly open, she kept a hand on her hip as the girl rambled on. Kayleigh blinked when the girl finally finished, before looking around to see if this was a prank. This had to be a prank. "Do you ever shut up?" Kayleigh asked crossly. It was incredibly rude of the girl to throw herself at Kayleigh, never mind not letting her even get an utterance in, or assuming she would help her. The young Slytherin couldn't careless about the life story that the girl, Nacht or something just told her. Shaking her head, wondered if this girl was going to get her into trouble. "I think it might be best for you to just, sit out here until morning. Though, I've heard that some of the creatures down here don't like Hufflepuffs, so it's best to keep one eye open." Kayleigh said, smirking and giving the girl a wink. "Now, move out of my way, so I can get to bed." She finished, gesturing for Nacht to move.
​

 

[Viviana Warrick]

Viviana was not at all moved off track by the woman asking if she ever shut up. Instead she giggled slightly. "I'm sorry. I've been told before that i never seem to stop. Go, go, go, go, go, you know? I suppose that's okay though right? Everyone has quirks!" She exclaimed. She listened to what the girl had to say and for a moment considered it. Then she realized something. "I don't even have a Hufflepuff badge on, not that i would ever lie and say I'm a Slytherin. Lying is wrong. Wait, if you're a Slytherin you must know my best friend Saveli. She is super pretty and blonde, kind of like you!" Viv's eyes looked around. "Do you really think there are creatures down here?" She asked, not moving out of the girl's way, her mind not quite processing that the blonde had even asked her to do so. Sometimes it seemed that the tiny Spanish girl's brain just let go of what seemed like unimportant information, and instead allowed her to keep talking.

 

[Kayleigh Zhefarovich]

Kayleigh's eyes widened as the girl continued to talk. It was definitely not something that Kayleigh felt like dealing with. Nacht even said that her quirk was alright, and before Kayleigh even had a chance to refute the claim, the girl was talking again. The young Slytherin folded her arms and sighed, tapping her foot impatiently as the girl continued. Kayleigh's eyes narrowed and brows furrowed in confusion as the girl stated that she didn't have a Hufflepuff badge on. "You just told me you were a Hufflepuff." Kayleigh said giving her head a little shake. She couldn't believe that she had to deal with someone as ignorant and as rude as the girl in front of her. "And even if you don't have a badge on, your whole attitude exudes Hufflepuff. And no. I don't know your best friend. And we are probably nothing alike, if she is going to be friends with someone like you." Kayleigh ignored the last statement from the girl. The blonde whipped out her wand and pointed it at Nacht's face. "You don't seem to be understanding what I am trying to say. So I will make it simple. Get out of my way, or I will hex you." She snarled. "And you can wait here for whoever, or whatever finds you next and explain to them your dramas, because I actually do not care." Kayleigh finished pitilessly.

[Saveli Pendleton]

Saveli had been reading rather peacefully in her common room, when a ruckus outside the door interrupted her. With blue eyes set ablaze by the fire in front of her, she moved to sit a bit farther away. Upon standing though her ears became tuned to the high pitched, annoying voice she'd come to know has Viv's, and the blonde sighed. What hell hath that woman conjured up this time? Moving rather sluggishly, Saveli opened the door to be faced with a brown mess of hair bundled on Viviana's head. "Viviana, you're going to wake up the entire common room. And you!" She looked past her friend at the girl who was standing in front of her. "What are you doing harassing a defenseless 'puff at this hour? Just shove her to the side and get in here so I can finish my book."

 

[Kayleigh Zhefarovich]

The young blonde's attention snapped to another girl that had entered the drama. This was why she just didn't like hanging out with girls, there was always drama. Kayleigh lowered her wand as the girl spoke, calling Nacht by name. Kayleigh wondered if this was the friend that the girl had spoken about. She raised her eyebrow, and scoffed, rolling her eyes when the other girl told her off. Kayleigh was sure she didn't need her wand any more, so she put it away, keeping her eyes on the new-comer. "She's the one that's harassing me!" Kayleigh exclaimed, pointing a finger to Nacht. "She won't get the hell out of my way, so yeah, I felt like hexing her." She said bluntly. Rolling her eyes again, Kayleigh shoved the Hufflepuff out of her way, moving past the two girls, before turning around and doing a little bow. "Happy?" She remarked sarcastically before turning around again to finally go to bed.

[Saveli Pendleton]

"Viviana, when people ask you to move, you're supposed to do that, okay? Otherwise witches like this decide to get handsy." Saveli reached out for her friends hand, after seeing the way she had fallen to the ground, and then glared at the blonde. "Listen here, bottle blonde, don't lay a hand on my friend again, are we clear?" The way that Sav spoke it was obvious she was challenging her. "Otherwise you and I are going to have problems, and your not-so-pretty face is gonna get even worse." Saveli was done with this, she was tired and needed sleep. "Viviana, I'll walk you back, come on." Saveli realized that this girl was not worth the detention she would get for striking her, however she would help Viv back to hr house regardless of the trouble.

 

[Viviana Warrick]

Viviana's eyes widened when Saveli came out. "Oh my goodnes! Hello! It's like a slumber party. I should have brought snacks!" Viviana giggled, though hr laughter paused and she looked at the blonde. "Saveli, I wasn't harras - umf." She was unexpectandly shoved to the side, and lost balance in her slippers. Hr rump slammed into the ground, and Viv winced, though she laughed. "Sorry, I guess it was pretty silly of me not to see that coming! Thank you Sav." Sh exclaimed, before reaching her hand out and allowing her best friend to help her up. The brunette stood by, and thought she should say something, though she was sure Saveli and the other blonde must know each other - they weren't fighting, just having a heated discussion, Viv thought. Once Saveli offered to take her back she smiled and nodded. "Of course, thank you!" She said before directing her attention to the other girl. "It was awesome to meet you!" She remarked, turning on her heels to walk away, with the same skip in her step as always.
