The twelve year old took off his blazer and lay back. Ahh! Bliss! He could just fall asleep right here. People were either asleep or working on their homework. He was too tired to check whether anyone was actually looking at him or trying to call him over. Not that anyone would. He closed his eyes. Maybe no one would disturb him now...
And how wrong he was.
Just as his mind began drifting off, he heard something that startled him slightly. Alec jumped as he looked around the common room, now more awake than he had been before. His grey blue eyes then landed on... Lyss? Was she the one who was making the noise? Alec blinked as he watched her carefully. What exactly was she doing?
And... then it made sense. She seemed to be transfiguring things into... pots? Mugs? ... Was she planning on drinking out of these? But as he watched, the answer became clear. She had transfigured a something into a vase! And she was now putting colourful flowers in them as well. Maybe she just wanted to give this to Aaron for Valentine's Day. Either way, the magic was pretty good. Really good, in fact. Alec lay back again but, instead of taking a nap, he was just going to watch her do more of that transfiguration stuff. Yeah, that could entertain him for a while.
Daisy jumped up as she watched Alec walk into the common room, trying to remember how she knew him despite the fact he was a firstie, and she was a third-year. And there was only one way to find out. He looked sleepy too, but she didn't feel too bad disturbing him; half the common room was always filled with sleepy people. Mainly her.
'Hi,' she grinned, bounding over to Alec and looking over him, but not close enough to scare him. He seemed to be watching Alyssa's transfiguration with an expression of awe, but she was sure he wouldn't mind talking to her.
'This is random, Alec,' she beamed, proud she remembered his name and hoping he knew hers. Otherwise it could be awkward.
'How do I actually know you?' She laughed,
'I was thinking about you the other day, but I can't actually remember where and when we met...'
