Somewhere in the dorms or something, carefully tucked away into a pair of robes so none of the dust that seemed to be everywhere these days could settle on the shiny surface.
Oh. Oh, was that why this girl had looked familiar? "Melanie. Yeah, you did. You came and sat by us and gave me your food." She was good company, then? Alice immediately became a little more interested, wondering if she had food on her now and if she was open to sharing. "I'm Alice, by the way. Do you have snacks?"
Very subtle.
Jo nodded slightly and raised an eyebrow at the girl's reaction to Potions. Meh. Not everyone could love the subtle and fine science of potion-making. "
Yes, I assumed that you must have enjoyed flying since you know.. You're Captain and all of the team.. Congrats by the way." Jo paused to take a breath and to close her bag. "
Do you like being Quidditch Captain? Do you ever find it tedious?" asked Jo wondering how in the world Alice must have felt with all of that responsibility on her shoulders like a ten pound weight.
The Slytherin smiled weakly when Alice mentioned that she did look familiar. Jo nodded, thrilled that Alice remembered. "
Alice! That's it. It's nice to meet you again, Alice.. I'm Jo," she offered with a rare grin. The grin fell of her face when Alice asked if she had any snacks. Snacks? Ummm.... Jo picked up her bag and began to rummage through it. "
I don't believe soo....." began the girl until she found two bags of pretzels that she had packed this morning before leaving her dorm. She picked one of the bags up and hid the other. She'd save those pretzels for later. "
I have a bag of pretzels, if you want?" offered the Snake.
