Either way, Zoryn loved a good thrill. And this rebellion? Thrill guaranteed. "Jessa," she turned, greeting the older girl with an appropriately placed mischievous smile. "And that's why you're the brains." Zoryn the brawns, obviously. And the pizzaz. And the chutzpah. Zoryn brought many things to the table actually. She was a jack of many (useless) trades.

All in all, the combination would play to their advantage, she was sure. They both had what the other lacked. And where they fell similar was in bending around morals to make their end. Jessa, for the greater understanding and Zoryn, for the sake of drawing attention. Though both were equally as shady a rational, Zoryn had absolutely zero problem with it.

"So, I was thinking. Whatever we do, it's gotta be BIG." And, she had been brainstorming names ALL week. Hawthorne's Army sounded slightly too predictable, but tbh she didn't hate it. The Resistance also had a preeeeetty nice ring to it not gonna lie. There also had to be a clever way of incorporating the word 'Troll' into their title. But obviously there were more important things to handle.

Zoryn had ideas for those too.

A meeting space, for example. They may do well in the Room of Requirement, or perhaps meeting off campus in Hogsmeade... Breaking off into smaller groups to save face... All possibilities. The only thing she couldn't figure out was how they'd even round up troops while keeping their heads low. That's where Jessa would have to come in. Maybe she'd come up with a secret code or something.

So for now, Brawns waited for Brains.

Jessa hadn’t missed the mischievous smile that was sent her way, not at all. It served to remind her that what they were doing was very risky and likely to cause a ton of problems.

That’s why it needed proper thought. That’s why Zoryn wasn’t going to be planning this entirely on her own. Don’t get her wrong, when it came to rebellions, her friend was on top of her game but there was a lot more to a rebellion than the actual point of rebelling when everything came to a head. If they were gonna do this, if they were going to collect useful data then it would need to be done correctly. Couldn’t really test the full capabilities of the regime while they were half hatting things now could they?

“Of course. Too small and we risk having the resistance crushed without seeing the full extent of what these men are prepared to do.” Which amounted to a failed experiment that would need to be done again. Problem with that was, it would be harder pulling it off a second time once those in charge realized what was likely to happen. They would be even more prepared and the resistance would be crushed even faster.

It was kind of exciting, in its own little way. All those years learning about rebellions in History of Magic and now they were planning one. If she stopped worrying about every little detail long enough, Jessa could almost feel her own excitement feeding off of Zoryn’s—but only almost.

“So here’s what I’m thinking.” She began, laying out a few pieces of parchment for the Gryffindor to take a look at. Notes mostly, a few drawings to show positions and maps of the castle. General information on the staff. “We wait until after the winter break—hear me out. I know you’re ready to get this going now now now but think about it. They’ve just taken over, they expect initial resistance so they can quickly crush it. Wait til after the break, they’ll think we’ve finally settled. Might even make them lower their guard a bit. So long with nothing major, they might think we’ve learned to just roll over and accept it all. It’s the perfect ambush. That’s when we strike. Gives us more time to rally troops and be prepared for the HUGE thing we’ll end up doing.”
