Licking the tip of her self-inking quill as she slipped into her usual spot along the expansive Gryffindor bench, Diamond jotted down a few noticeable observations and embellished them for Quill purposes. Maybe one of these leads would be something useful for her next Witch Weekly submission. Whispers about a secret Hufflepuff plant-themed gathering happening in the depths of the greenhouse, Ravenclaws clipping the broom tails of the Gryffindor captain's broom while it waited for its owner in the luggage compartment (sabotage or weird quidditch flirting ritual?), first-year students have reported seeing a shadowy figure slipping past the edges of the grounds while on their boat rides across the lake and possible pack of sixth year Slytherins being involved, the sudden change in relationship status between a seventh year Gryffindor sweethearts after ride from London and eyewitnesses swearing they saw a phial of something experimental being slipped into a cauldron cake...there was plenty to go off of if you added the right bells and whistles to things. Unfortunately, the first years were being offensively boring this term with their Sortings and reactions to them, no nepo babies having a complete meltdown which then resulted in the Sorting Hat being trampled by first year fee and instant detention awarded in front of the whole school... she nearly groaned from boredom until the sweet sound of anxious breathing tickled her ears and drew her attention towards her slightly younger housemate.
Hair growth potion? It wasn't as juicy as she might have liked but it was a whole lot more interesting than the other kumbaya moments everywhere else.
So sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide right on down she did until she was practically thigh to thigh with Rose. "So, new trend or exposé on ‘beard care’ tips? OR are you perhaps looking to see if there is any truth to the muggle stereotype of wise wizards and them sporting impressive beards considering this IS your OWL year and any leg up is a good leg?"
Nadia received a swift wave as a bit of an afterthought - the girl seemed off in her own headspace feeling fancy and free in a Daydream Charm OR escaping suspicion in fantasy...title and contents of that gossip pending.
