So this was the common room?

Daichi looked around with half open mouth, he couldn't believe it but his brother had actually said the truth when he had described the common room. His eyes darted to the stone walls to the fireplace. His eyes widened when fire erupted and warmth up the place. But instead of going towards the fire, Daichi let out a soft whimper and pressed his ducked plushy against him while taking a few steps back. Why where the couches so close to the fire?

Daichi looked away from the fire and sat on the cold floor. Cold.. cold would destroy heat right? yes ,he was alot safer here. He sat down on the floor, still holding his duck while watching the other students. Would anyone even notice him? He then thought about the fourth year, he had met on the train. He couldn't remember his name but he had said he should watch out in case someone tried to make fun of his duck. He thought people wouldn't be like that but then... what if they did?! He knew he had Evan's back , and he's the Prefect. Yes despite his little (well little) lie. He still trusted him.
