Okay, so she didn't scream, which actually was something that Skylar almost knew it wasn't her older friend. But she had to just confirm this to make sure. "Yea, I know who did... that was Myrtle. I've heard her screaming before, but not in a couple years... I just hope everything's okay." The fifth year she-snake paused before crossing over to the stalls to knock on the doors.
"She's just ... she's sweet, but it's only September. Peeves was probably torturing her earlier or something." She shrugged and then turned to glance at the lioness suddenly. Olivia was older and in a different house, which meant she could help her on one of missions this term, yes? More variety? Plus it wasn't like Olivia didn't know her dormmate, as Sky was sure she'd seen them conversing on more than one occasion, most recently on the train when Olivia briefly conversed with both of them.
"Olivia? Can I ... talk to you about something?" she bit her lip, feeling suddenly nervous. She had been thinking about this all train ride and then again throughout the feast, yet she hadn't told a soul about this mission, so to voice it now, honestly, Skylar felt shy suddenly. Which was a very strange feeling indeed.
Myrtle? Moaning Myrtle? Which floor was Olivia on again? After a while, the corridors started to blend together for her. First.... Second. Ah. Well that did make sense. "
Me too..." nodded Vi. A thought crossed her mind that maybe Skylar knew the answer to. "
Sky... Do you know what happened to her last time she screamed?" she asked, wondering if possibly the same reason could have made the ghost scream again. Or maybe it was boy trouble or something? But who...? Vi began wracking her brains to find a possible answer.
Then as Skylar said that perhaps it was Peeves torturing her, Vi nodded and sighed. Classic Peeves. Always up to his no good shenanigans. She still remembered her run in with him from her fourth year. And Myrtle was sweet..? Vi blinked and smiled softly as she listened to Skylar speak about the ghost. It seemed as if Skylar had a good opinion of Myrtle. "
Maybe something happened over the summer?"
She was about to call out to Myrtle again to see if the ghost was okay when Skylar asked her if they could talk about something. She blinked for a second, wondering what was up and then noticed that Skylar looked kind of... nervous? So the Lioness offered her friend an easy going smile. "
Sure! What's up?" she asked. Was it boy trouble.... If it was boy trouble, she wondered why she would be going to her about it seeing as Skylar had much more experience in that department. She had a boyfriend. Olivia...? It was complicated. Maybe it was something else? It was probably something else.
