Austin walked down the familiar hallway. It had been his favorite hiding place last term, although he didn't actually plan for it. The statue had just been the place he ended up after walking around for a while. When one sat next to it, one could easily become invisible. Not actually invisible, but no one even cared to take a second glance at you. Heck, no one even took a first glance. But that didn't matter to second-year Austin. No, he had loved the solitude it gave.

Now, Austin was in his third year, and had a whole new set of problems. He had gotten into a fight and detention within the first week of school. Thinking about it just reminded him of how much his arms still hurt from it. Hopefully he didn't have to go back to detention any time soon. Or... if he did, it would be a punishment that didn't involve using is arms for hours on end. Returning his thoughts back to the statue, he ran his hand along he stone. It had been an entire summer, and it looked as though the statue hadn't changed one bit. He assumed there would be cobwebs, or at least look older. But it looked like his favorite hiding spot hadn't changed much.

He took a deep breath, and sat where he had sat last year. He was a lot taller so sitting in a way where no one could see him was awkward. He couldn't pull his knees up to his chest for too long, for it gave him awful cramps in his legs. He resorted to crossing his legs and leaning his head against his stone friend. He thought about Ophelia, and what she was doing now. Maybe she was getting a good nap in before class, or maybe she was grabbing a snack. But all he could focus on was what he was going to say to her if he saw her. They hadn't seen much of each other since that first day in Professor Tanner's office. He wanted to talk to her then, but she had run out, ready to go make her apologies. What would he say to her? He would want to apologize himself, hoping she would understand that his anger got the better of him. Maybe she would bring up the fact that he sent her mother a letter, hoping he could change things. Her parents couldn't take her out of Hogwarts, she had to get her magic lessons somehow. Unless her parents planned on teaching her, which he highly doubted. If her sisters got wind of what happened, they would never let her forget. Where was Ophelia Clark now?
