Near the hidden entrance to the prefect bathroom on the fifth floor stands a statue of a lost-looking wizard with his gloves on the wrong hands. This is Boris the Bewildered, a good meeting spot on this largely empty and musty-smelling floor.

She knew that Bay was protective of her, and she secretly really liked and appreciated it, but she was not going to say any of that to Tessa. Lux had no interest in Louis in that sense, and she was glad that Louis understood that.
As she listened to what Tessa said about waiting to kiss someone when you know them well, it made more and more sense. It would not be good to kiss someone with a girlfriend - which she had known already - and that was why she had not kissed Sander and Bay. It was a good thing she had Tessa to explain it to her, since she had never considered that boys could lie to her. "I understand what you are saying, Tessa." It made more sense to her now.
Tessa nodded, although she wasn't completely sure that was what was going on with Bay. "He is very protective of you, and I'm sure he doesn't want to see you hurt," she agreed. "And, while I know he likes Louis, he may have been worried about you- that's just what friends do," she said with a soft laugh.
Tessa felt some tension in her release, and she hoped that this discussion would help Bay return to his normal self. Not to mention, she hoped it would help Lux in the future- especially when she wasn't around Hogwarts any more.
"So, anything else new going on with you?" she asked, leaning back against the stone wall with a smile at the younger girl.

That made a lot of sense to Lux, and she wondered if that was what had happened. Though Bay had said he didn't know why he had reacted that way, so maybe it wasn't. Oh well, it probably would never be figured out. "This kissing stuff is so complicated, and I'm not even dating anyone." It was kind of funny actually.
What was new with her? Not too much. "Well, the cool class stuff and hanging out with friends." She gave a little shrug. "What's new with you?" Maybe things had been more interesting for Tessa.

Tessa laughed quietly. "All relationships are complicated- kissing just adds an extra layer of complication," she pointed out, chuckling. After all, even a friendship had its ups and downs- although her year at Hogwarts and mostly been ups.
She smiled at Lux's reply. It was true that they had seen one another for most of the day every day, so it's not like there was a lot to report. "Nothing much," she said with a soft laugh. "Got a letter from my father, which was a surprise. However, it was basically all about his work," she said with a chuckle. Nothing surprising there.

Lux had never really thought about it like that before. "I haven't really found friendships complicated yet. But then, I've not been at school for too long. Before I came here, I mostly hung out with my siblings because a lot of the other kids didn't want to play with me." Because sometimes she would do magic without meaning to and they would call her a freak.
"Why did your dad write you just to talk about work? Wouldn't he write to see how things are going with you at school?" That was what happened in her letters with her parents. Either her mom or her dad would send her a letter, and she would send a reply back.

Tessa smiled and gave Lux's hair a gently tussle. "You're lucky to have good friends- some of the places I've been, people weren't quite so nice all the time," she said with a soft laugh. "Ana and I knew a girl back at Beauxbatons- that was a complicated relationship," she said with a chuckle. And the opposite of friendship.
"Why did kids not want to play with you?" she asked, concerned. "Or, were they muggles?" she reasoned, her expression softening. She hadn't grown up around too many muggles, but she had heard stories from other school friends...
"That's all he's concerned about," she said with a shrug. "He's very... focused." She had accepted it long ago, but that didn't make it any less frustrating at times. "Sometimes he remembers, but most of the time he just sends letters about his work because that's all he knows," she explained.

Lux beamed as Tessa ruffled her hair. She did like that. "You are very right, and I am glad that I am at school with so many nice people now!" Almost everyone she had met at Hogwarts was very nice, though of course there were a few exceptions - there were always exceptions. "Oh, what was it like?" She wanted to hear about it, and still thought it was awesome that Tessa knew Ana from another school; Ana was the best, Lux loved her like a sister the way she loved Tessa as a sister.
Nod. "They were muggles and they were mean and called me a freak." Sniffle. It made her sad. "And I used to run away, but I wished I could have punched them in the face looking back at it... but Bay told me that was mean." He was right too, of course... though the likelihood of her punching anyone was pretty slim to nil in all honestly.
Wow, her dad seemed... different. Lux frowned as she thought about how she would feel if her dad did that with her. Not very good, probably. "What does he do for work?"

Tessa was happy to see Lux relax. School could be hard and have a lot of pressure- and the young Hufflepuff seemed to be much less stressed now. "There are some wonderful people here," she agreed with a laugh. "Beauxbatons or the girl?" Tessa asked, unsure. Neither of which were her shining moments.
"Oh, Lux..." she reached over and gave the girl a gentle hug. "Unfortunately they just don't understand the world we live in. Imagine if we had no contact with the muggle world. If they started talking to you about planes and computers, you would probably do the same. Just don't take it to heart- you deserve way better," she said, giving the girl another squeeze.
"Yes, punching someone in the face doesn't usually end well," Tessa said, her tone wise. She had learned that on numerous occasions- not that she would hesitate to do it again if someone was being hurt or threatened. It wasn't her style. She had definitely calmed down since her arrival at Hogwarts though- although, that could have been the strange aging thing talking.
"He is studying the migration patterns of Jobbernolls- that's why we travel so much," she explained. "And they're hard to track because they are completely silent for most of their lives." She shrugged. IT was a part of her life- she knew her father loved her, and while he had always been involved in his work.

Eagerly, Lux nodded along to what Tessa said. She definitely agreed that there were some really amazing people at Hogwarts. Bay came to mind, as did Tessa, Sander, Ana, Lucas, and all her other friends. Everyone was so nice to her, and she loved them all. Oh, right. She hadn't really specified what she wanted to hear about. "Both would be nice." She was curious to hear about the girl, and she also wanted to hear about the school since she did not know much about it.
Smiling weakly, she hugged the girl back as she listened to what she had to say. Tessa seemed to have a pretty good point there, though really she could have done without the bullying. "I wouldn't be mean to someone because of that, Tessa. It isn't right." Nor was punching people in the face, though she had sometimes wanted to do that.
Speaking of which... Tessa seemed to have learned it from experience with the way she was talking. Very curious. Lux raised her brow. "Okay, spill. Who did you punch? And why?" Tessa could be as feisty as the rest of them when she wanted to, and there was no doubt in Lux's mind that the older girl would clock someone in the face if need be.
Oh. That seemed interesting, she supposed. "How does he track them?" Maybe Tessa knew because her dad told her. It still was sad that he was more engrossed with his work than catching up with his daughter, but she would not comment about it further because it was none of her business. Besides, she was sure that he loved Tessa and everything was fine regardless of what he wrote in his letters.

Tessa winced internally at Lux's desire for her story of Beauxbatons. She just hoped that Lux didn't look at her any differently- because it hadn't been her greatest moment. "So, just to explain before I begin," she said, taking a breath. "My time at Beauxbatons was not my greatest," she told the girl. "I was in my 4th year, and a bit more reckless than the girl you know now," she said with a soft laugh. "And, to add on to that, I was miserable." She took another breath and let it out slowly.
"So, I had been accepted to Beauxbatons after my father had moved there, following a flock of Jobbernolls from the north the summer previous. However, I soon found that the Quidditch team was hardly formidable, and offered me little to no challenge," she said, her lips turning downwards in a frown. "If that wasn't enough, the classes were tedious and the Professors even more so," she continued, making a face. "I skipped classes and I pulled pranks. Some looked forward to my next bit of mischief, others loathed the trouble I caused. However, there was one girl who just seemed to hate my entire being and I can't saw I was a fan of hers either." Even the thought of the girl caused Tessa to tighten her fists, as if a fight were imminent.
"She was a bully and was constantly picking on other girls in the school. She had tried with me, but I only ended up embarrassing her when she did. Finally, one day, I ran into her bulling a few other girls, and I stepped in. She tried to pick on me, but I decided I didn't like the arrangement of her face," she said, a smile briefly playing on her lips at the joke before fading once more. Because of that incident, and because I was a disturbance to the school, I was expelled," she explained with a shrug.
SHe let all of that sink in for a moment, hoping that Lux wouldn't be horrified. It was her past, and she had- mostly- matured since then. "He has a few ways. There are some spells that he's used and invented, as well as some potions that he uses to track them. Some he's banded magically, so he can follow them that way," she explained. "He's one of the foremost experts in the field," she said with a soft laugh. She really was proud of him, despite how frustrated he could make her.

Alec inched his way out of the Prefect's bathroom, letting the door shut behind him. He had clothes on, sure, but he also had a towel wrapped around his neck which he occasionally used to wipe at his wet hair. Hair was the reason why he had been in there. Hair and shower and because after a day of trying to practice non-verbal spells, the boy felt like he deserved it.
Yawning widely, the Hufflepuff made his slow walk along the corridor of the fifth floor, his mind moving over to the idea of pancakes. And a topping that wouldn't be too... sugary. Couldn't deal with that much sugar in his pancakes now. Maybe he'd add some blueberries instead. With a bit of syrup. Just a bit.
Stopping by the statue of Boris the Bewildered, Alec draped his towel right over his head and... ruffle ruffle ruffle!

Having spent the morning cooped up in the Slytherin Common Room, Terry decided now was the time to escape from the dungeons and head up to the top of the tower, mainly to get a great birds eye view. He loved being out in the grounds but nothing beat what he saw from the highest tower. It was pretty spectacular.
He was walking fairly slowly, knowing he wasn't in a rush or anything which was when he spotted the familiar site at the end of the corridor, by the statue. He waved quickly before joining his mates side.
"Hey" he smiled, patting him on the back in a friendly greeting only to get a little wet from Alec ruffling out his hair. "Yeah, thanks" he replied straight face, wiping the water droplet from his nose before chuckling. Eh. Who cared?

Lots more hair ruffling was going on from the Touchable Hair Head Boy, which also meant that lots of water was being sprayed everywhere. Not that Alec thought that anyone was around, and he also didn't hear the sound of approaching footsteps. Not until...
... huh?
The boy paused his hair ruffling to look to see who had-- Oh Terry! What a lad, what a lad! "Hey, mate!" he called, patting the guy on the back as well. Terry wouldn't mind, right? He would have ruffled the Slytherin's hair but Alec didn't know whether he would have minded his hair being messed up so... hair ruffles would have to wait.
... SNORT. "I..." And then he started chuckling. ... Deep breath... "Sorry, mate. I just washed it." And he was a puppy in some senses, did Terry know? "What brings you here, by the way?" he asked, resuming the ruffling of his hair with his towel.

The thought had dawned on him that there wasn't much longer of this term left and ultimately this meant that of a couple of his good friends would be leaving too. Alec, obviously, was included in this list and it would definitely be a shame to see the seventh year go. Although next year would be tougher, considering his girlfriend was in the year below.
Alec had patted Terry's back in return and the blonde haired boy grinned. It was good to have mates that you could be like that with. Not these stuck up impressions that you often got with boarding schools, at least some of the higher class modern ones anyway.
"I can see that" he nodded towards his wet hair and laughed. "That's good. Keeping your hygiene up" You know, it was important. Especially seeing as they both had a girl to impress. "But you kind of look like a dog when you do that." Shaking off his fur.
"I was just heading up to the tower, thought I'd take in some views of the grounds after being cooped up down in the dungeons for a while" He wanted fresh air and views without actually having to go outside. And despite the climb up the stairs, he needed the exercise anyway. Terry didn't play sport unless it was in the holidays. He was sure Ana wouldn't be impressed if he started to get chubby.
