She didn't know what to say or what he wanted to hear.

Stupid Paige!

Eventually dropping her gaze to her lap again, Maggie pushed a lock of blonde hair out of her face. No. She was simply going to stay in here until the train had reached Hogsmeade station. The quiet kid seemed like a suitable companion. One that wouldn't bother her or say annoying things or ask questions.

Only he DID in fact have questions. With a sigh, she looked back up and read the note he'd written. What? "I am." She WAS doing a pretty good job at hiding no? "I haven't been found yet." Which, she concluded, mean she was successfully hiding. As for the next question, "my boyfriend mostly." He was the only one who she felt bad for upsetting after all. Maybe she could go apologize at the feast. Apologize for what though exactly?

Trying to take her mind off it for a little while at least, Maggie tilted her head to the side a little and considered the boy. "Why do you use that instead of just saying the words?" She nodded to the notebook. It was a valid question no?

Well, really, that was just a lie, wasn't it? As far as Daxton knew, hiding meant concealing yourself away in a secret place, where nobody could find you. It did not work if someone knew where you were, because then it was no longer a secret, and the information could easily be shared. He quickly informed her as much using his notebook.

'I found you.'

Not true, technically, as she had simply decided to hide where he already was and he had made no active effort to 'find' her. But the sentiment was the same; Daxton knew where Magdalena Traulton was, and he could quite easily (and guiltlessly) sell her out to her boyfriend (because naturally people routinely hid from their boyfriends on trains). She was not hidden in the slightest.

Apparently the matter of successful hiding was not so important to Magdalena Traulton, which did not make much sense to Daxton... though he soon remembered how little he cared and disregarded the matter entirely. What was deemed worth talking about, however, was his notebook, and was that not always the way? Daxton could count on one hand the number of people who had not immediately questioned him regarding his silence or his notebook, and it was always interesting to see who took which route. But, nevertheless, Daxton provided Magdalena Traulton with an answer - via his notebook, of course - because he was feeling... generous.

'Because I cannot just say the words.'

Generous... for Daxton, that was.
