"That's a very good thing."
Stagnant water was a smart observation but AGAIN, he wasn't going to mention that. No. And was it damp down here? "WELL, the common room has a watery theme. The walls aren't damp," Just in case she got any funny ideas that they lived in bad conditions. "But it's like being in a giant aquarium but cooler. You can see the lake and all the animals swimming around." And, of course, he wasn't going to reveal ALL the secrets. She'd have to come into the common room for that. Or be a Slytherin.
Oh MERLIN, being in the same house as this one would be torture.
What? Was she trying to suggest that they were fishy creatures that liked the damp and mould? PSH. "No," he said, pointedly, "Some of us just like potions and watery areas." NICE watery areas, thank you. They may be snakes but they still had style. "Uh huh. Very clever spellwork too. Though, word of warning, it stinks there as well but it's brilliant." Yeah, yeah, he smelled good. BIG whoop. She doubted he smelled that fresh ALL the time so she wasn't going to get all swoony or smiley like SOME girls might. Instead she simply shrugged, unimpressed. Clean people were SUPPOSED to smell good so it wasn't anything to toot your own horn over.
Well NOW he had her attention. A common room that was like an aquarium sounded amazing and with her current interest in the giant squid, it seemed like a place she'd need to see if she could manage it. Speaking of her favorite creature. "Do you ever see the SQUID from there?" She tried not to look TOO curious but her eyes were shining, a giveaway that she was excited at the thought of it.
Well SOMEONE had their wand in a knot. This made Maddie smirk and she shrugged. "I don't know what Slytherins like to DO in their free time." Apparently potions which she approved of, actually. "And speaking of Slytherins, WHAT do you think I'd need to do to get one to take me into the common room?" She KNEW he probably couldn't be convinced but surely there was someone she could con talk into it. As for the swamp, "Thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind." Though if THIS boy frequented the swamp, she'd probably be keeping her distance. JUST saying.
