She stared over at the girl for a moment, wondering if she should ask. After all she didn't know this girl so it might have been weird for her having ask her for some.

It only took a few more seconds of gazing to change her mind. She took the other sheet of paper and scribbled: Can I have a chocolate too...? then held it up to her.

This whole no talking thing was already getting annoying.

With a quick glance around, she slowly placed the cup of spit back to where it was.

She saw the source of the chocolate smell and the smell of the house elves mixed with it. It was a stale smell. Ganymede never saw so many house elves before. She resisted the urge to return to her blank stare. Instead she reached into her purple bag and pulled out a very tiny spy glass.

Leaning over and pulling her hair forward, she expertly hid the spyglass with her sleeves. It looked as if she was just resting her head on the table.

Her nebbing uncovered something, the plant that the elves were carrying was pink. Pink... what an ugly color. Another uncovered item, Lex was near the chocolates. Ganymede was aquainted with the Gryffindor. Perhaps she could weasel chocolate as well.

With one quick move, Ganymede shoved the spyglass back into her bag, stood up and strutted over to the students.

"Lex, Who's your Ravenclaw friend?" Ganymede asked while patting the back of Lex. "Hey, I got some strawberry gum if you want to trade for those chocolates." Ganymede offered with a sweet smile. ::

She shook her head at the indignation of it all.

How was she to continue meeting and greeting? Did he expect her to walk away with that bloody piece of paper all night and shove it into the faces of others....as fun as that sounded she preferred doing things because she wanted to and not because she had to so she scowled at the idea.

She whipped around when she heard someone saying her name and saw that it was the girl from the boats...Ganymede...

Lex opened her mouth, once more forgetting that nothing would come out. Merlin this was getting annoying. Her first response was always to talk not write. With a heavy sigh she went back to the paper and scribbled again.

Actually we haven't been acquainted yet but I wanted some of her chocolate; can't talk...have a silencing spell on... She would have written more but that didn't seem like a good idea...
