Words: 196
Character: Mandrake Beery, Slytherin class of 2118
Feat: Gillyweed Beery (Zoe)

Drake was on a mission to find his twin sister, with a large book clasped in his hands, his fingers keeping his place as he searched until finding her in the commons. Gil was perched in their usual seats, a book stretched in her lap.

With a loud noise, Drake plopped himself down into the seat opposite. He was attempting to alert her of his presence, but also wasn’t so rude as to say her name and interrupt. A small nod of her head told him she knew he was there.

When Gilly got to a stopping point, she closed her own book and looked over at him. “What’s up, Drakey?” That was all the encouragement he needed to open his book and shove it under her nose.

“Why chimneys? And why do people BELIEVE that? A chimney opening is like… what, 4 feet? And Santa is infamously known for being rotund and eating cookies at every house all night on Christmas Eve! So HOW does he get into the chimney?”

His sister just looked at him in amusement, before reading over the page so they could figure out the best way to research his questions.
