Interacting with: @Gem Stuart

Glad that Gem had come to help, Lark gave him a quizzical look. The girl seemed rather distressed but... "Do you need us ta-" As Lark looked back to the girl to try and see if she needed any help again, she was... gone? Book in hand, Lark stood and blinked down at Gem. "What... was that about?" All that interruption to their little moment of misery and poof the girl was gone without even a thank you?

Feeling rather annoyed, Lark set the girl's book down on the table and sat back down. "Well.. That was .. interestin'?" She snorted and returned her attention to Gem's fuzzy companion. "People are strange..." Lark found herself more comfortable around animals... although her friends were an exception. She could spend hours around them quietly and still feel fine.. except.. still eventually on the outs when her mind decided to take her down a darker path every so often. "I wonder if they really do listen y'know?" Gently running her hands over the cat's fur the interaction soothing some of Lark's frustrations, she wished that they had pets back home. Her parents studied creatures but having a companion was a whole other thing. A pair of ears to actually listen to her when she needed... comfort.. warm hugs and fuzzy kisses on demand. No judgments.. that would be nice.

"Gem.. I don't want ta go home again." Lark's voice was low. She had only sort of admit the feeling to James out of their group of friends... but she knew Gem would understand. "It's like they have their own .. family now. Without me." Memories of winter break dug their way up into her thoughts. Feeling like an outsider watching her parents coo and awe over her little brother. If it was this bad now how would it be in years to come? Maybe she could travel with her friends each break.. or stay at Hogwarts..? She focused her energy into petting Basil hoping it wouldn't leave any energy left to stem tears in her ears.

Grace entered the study room, her sack was very full. Today, Grace had her hair shoulder-length and brown, then out of nowhere, all of the books in her sack fell out and Grace yelled quietly “Damn it!” she had ink in the sack and it spilled everywhere, one shard of glass had cut Grace in her index finger “Reparo” she muttered and the shards of glass repaired themselves. Grace picked up her books and quill, dropping some more books in her arms as she muttered curse words under her breath, Grace was clumsy that was no doubt. The Ravenclaw looked up to see two other students there, both in her house, she blushed and sat down, sucking the finger that was cut. She could tell the two kids were talking about something personal, the girl dropped her voice now "Gem.. I don't want ta go home again." Grace blushed and moved away from them so she was out of earshot, she hated eavesdropping but hated accidentally eavesdropping more. Grace tried putting the short brown hair in a braid but was unsuccessful, so she make her hair the normal waist-length dirty blonde hair and out her hair in a braided bun. Grace then took out the things she needed and started doing what she always does, study.
