"Hi Lana. I'm Simon," he said and then paused. Now what HAD he been thinking about? Lots and lots of things... But what specifically that he wished to share with this over-excitable stranger? "I was wondering what he was thinking but I was also just very, very bored so it looked like fun to copy his stance." Now for her question, Simon wracked his brains. He had read somewhere in the many texts about Hogwarts about why Gregory the Smarmy ended up here. Oh right! The Battle of Hogwarts. "Well Lana meet Gregory. Gregory meet Lana," he explained, introducing the girl to the statue. Yep, introductions. He didn't know what he was doing. He just went for it for once. It worked for Ethan and Zander. "Well he, Greg, invented a potion that made the drinker think whomever he gave it to his best friend. I've read that this used to have be a secret passageway outside the school but the passageway sort of caved in and he's been relocated here."

"So what are you doing up here?"
"Simon," Lana repeated with a smile. She was going to mention something about Simon Says, but she had been working lately on actually filtering some of her word spewage. It didn't always work, but occasionally she caught onto her thoughts before they became words. Which was good.

She turned back to the statue when Simon introduced it to her. "Gregory," she said, reaching forward to place her hand on the statue's arm. She stayed like that as Simon explained to her how the guy was important. "Like a love potion but for friends. Is that a good thing? It seems weird that someone would do that." Why not just make friends the way you were supposed to?

What was she doing here? Lana looked at Gregory for another moment before returning her attention to Simon. "I'm bored. So I picked a corridor and now I'm following it. But then I found you and I thought it looked like you were bored too or else really not bored so I thought I'd join you. And now I'm talking to you." In a nutshell.
