Down the staircase to the left of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall lie the dungeons of Hogwarts. In order to reach the various classrooms, dungeons, and the Slytherin Common Room you have to make your way through the creepy, dark, corridors... |

Well. Technically, HER house had won... "You think? Nah. They're for the students that need a number, a value, on how smart they are, or how well they do." Aspen got her his in order, then worked on rubbing his back and unwrinkling the mess of robes. "Points are grains of sand in an hour glass and mean nothing in reality." And in a whisper, she added, "I've lost tons this term." Tons. She couldn't have possibly cared less. "We? Nooo. No, you did wonderfully. How many times did you score?" Aspen KNEW, but she wanted him to go on and on about it, possibly in detail, in distracting detail. |

West sniffled but it was clear he was listening and absorbing and taking on board all the things that she said, and he wasn't even squirming at being fussed over.
Sniff.
"Six." And, "Theo got three." West had loyalty, see?

"I don't need an oversized hour glass full of wrongly colored sand to tell me how well I'm doing," Aspen echoed and continued with the rubbing and surreptitious de-wrinkle-ing. "And neither do you. Let Professor Vindictus take them all." Odessas wouldn't care. "Nine goals out of a couple of first years... you call that losing? Hmmmm..." Hmmmm as in, was he SURE it was losing? Was he? |

West considered this. Yeah? It was still losing. "We didn't WIN, Aspen. I wanted to win. I wanted to tell Dad that we WON." But they only got second. Even if he had scored more goals than anyone during the year.
He'd also played in four games, so that, averaged out, was less impressive.

She reached out and smudged away any wetness from his cheeks. "If you did your best, then that's all you can do. I think you won big, and I'll tell him as much." Eventually. When she started speaking to him again. "Can you guess what Dad would say to you right now?" |

"I can do better. I missed some. Next time I won't miss." West promised and... and...
.... he kinda could.
"I still wanted to win."

"I still wanted to win." Aspen crouched lower, putting West taller than her and fixed what was left of the wrinkles. She even managed a button or two. "You have six whole more years to win, to make up those points, and to make goals. It just wasn't your turn to win. You shouldn't let your opponents know it bothers you. Let them wonder why you're so calm."
Generally, Aspen found, it freaked them out. All she had to do was SMILE at the Head Boy and he'd squirm. |

But it DID bother him. West tried to be calm anyways, for Aspen, but he wasn't doing a great job of it, so he just hugged her again for the comfort.

"You have a meeting with Professor Lafay now?" If Aspen had heard correctly? She'd sort of been in a hurry, but she could guess that to be about right. "Tell me your plan for answering her questions." |

"Tell me your plan for answering her questions." "Yeah. Have to go to her office." A plan? West shrugged. "I dunno." He didn't really have one? Did he need one?
Why would he need one?
