Hogwarts RPG Name: Brandon Fox Hufflepuff Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Phoebe Calypso [s]Dupont[/s] Slytherin Fifth Year | Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? SPOILER!!: Reuben Quote:

But a breeze it had not been so far. Reuben entered the dorm after his detention and headed straight for his bed, faceplanting the covers with a rather dramatic groan. There was something even more soul destroying about being punished for not paying attention in class when he'd figured he didn't need to pay attention, only for said detention to prove just why he did. He'd not been able to answer any of the questions the professor had set for him to complete, and... well, it had been rather embarrassing, to say the least.
Maybe he should start studying. Except he didn't know where to start.
And he was so, so tired....
Within minutes of him faceplanting the mattress, Reuben was snoring. Still fully clothed. Still with his shoes on. Still lying face down. Brandon Fox was spending this Saturday evening looking after personal matters. He'd spent the day practicing violin, carving wood, and then studying and reading up on advanced topics that interested him. Mainly healing... Brandon was very interested in that, and it was usually obvious within an hour of knowing him. It was his "thing". Anyways, he felt as though he had done enough of that for today, so he had gotten ready for an early bedtime and was sitting on the floor writing letters. Long, detailed ones for his family, plus a shorter and sweeter and awkward-er note asking Xander to be his Valentine.
It was this final letter that he was trying to write (he kept feeling too embarrassed and starting over) when Reuben came in and just... flopped. Reuben was a new dormmate for Brandon, and they weren't close or anything, but still. Yikes. Being in detention on a Saturday afternoon must really suck, and it looked kind of tiring too.
Brandon got up after a moment and retrieved a chocolate granola bar from his top secret chocolate granola bar stash, and set it on his dormmate's nightstand. He also got a spare cup and filled it up with water for him. He also wrote "Let me know if you want any help with class. Or studying. -Brandon Fox" on a post-it note and stuck it next to the granola bar so his dormmate would see it in the morning. Impromptu dormmate care package???
Then, Brandon finished writing and got into bed himself. It had been a long and productive day, and there was stuff he wanted to do tomorrow, and he could already feel himself getting tired. |
