"Great, thanks." Nancy said from where she was already sitting with a small smile-like grimace for the girl. This whole Aparecium business was really getting on her nerves.
Somehow Nancy felt the girl's eyes on her just like she had just been gazing at her a moment before, the same curiosity in her eyes. So it probably was not just a coincidence that she had looked familiar. But how and where had they met? Somehow, call it female intuition maybe, Nancy had the feeling that they had not exactly befriended at their first encounter so while crossing her legs she answered, "I...am not sure to be honest. You do look familiar too, though." Racking her brain for some indicator that would help her put her finger on something related to the girl Nancy bit her lower lip.
Then, just out of the middle of nowhere an image flashed across her inner eye, a place which looked quite a lot like the Courtyard or something out in the Hogwarts Grounds. Plus there was somebody with them. A boy. But who was it?
Some how Rhea sensed that the girl wasn't in the best of moods, or was there a strain between them, she couldn't put her finger on it, at leats not right away. She nodded slightly when the girl answered.
She took her eyes off the girl to stare outside the window..her breath fogging the glass slightly. The suddenly it hit her...Irial..the courtyard.....the girl....she whipped around to look at her eyebrows raised slightly.
Who would have guessed that one year later they would meet again under such circumstances. Rhea cleared her throat.
"I think I know where we met, though I must confess it was not the most pleasant of meetings. It was last year in the Courtyard.....I believe I might have walked in on a conversation between you and Irial and you didn't take well to that." She cleared her throat again and looked at the girl.
Rhea's gaze, shifted from the girl in the compartment to another girl who had walked in....
"I don't mind if you join us..come right in.." she looked at the girl sitting across from her wondering if she would mind an additional person in their compartment.
