Dear Merlin. She was a mess. Had she looked like this for all of her lessons and everything? Her wavy blonde hair was now a wild, frizzy mess, falling wherever it wanted and some strands just hopelessly sticking out. There was a bit of something stuck on her robes. Was it food? A bit of potion? Owl droppings? Lex removed the robes and stuffed them in her bag, before pulling out a brush and fixing her hair.
It was then that she noticed a girl on the couch. She seemed to be dozing off. Oh. Lex hoped that she hadn't made a lot of noise entering the common room and straightening herself out. She didn't want to disturb the girl.
"Sorry," she said quietly, no more than a whisper, not sure if the other Hufflepuff was awake or not. "I hope I've not bothered you!"
Maddie had drifted up. She was straight up sleeping, even though that hadn't been her intention. She just wasn't used to waking up so early, seeing as all summer long she'd slept in. Well, except the week she went to Disney World. There'd literally been no sleep at all that week. Okay, yeah there had...just not a lot. Anyway, it wasn't until she heard a voice that she came to and sat up.
"Oh, you didn't bother me! I was...studying!" she said, embarrassed that she'd fallen asleep. Never mind the fact that there were no textbooks, quills, or parchment nearby. She blushed then admitted,
"Okay, so I fell asleep. I'm not used to getting up early yet!" She followed that with a laugh.
She knew Lex, but not well. She'd seen her around the common room and in some classes, but they weren't in the same year, so their paths didn't cross a whole lot.
"So what's up? How was your summer break?" she asked.
