Sneaky like a Mouse
Marilyn, finished with her last class for the day, walked casually down the halls of the castle towards the Hufflepuff Common Room. She was tired, ready to go to her dorm and lay down to read a good book. She still had some books she brought from home to finish reading, so she had no need of going to the library to look for some good fiction. The corridors got less crowded as she walked, students going their own way instead of waiting in bunches for the next class to start. One particularly hallway was almost completely empty, save for a handful of students sitting along the walls working on homework of talking among themselves.
She continued to walk, not wanting to stop to talk right now because her mind was so focused on the next chapter of her beloved book. But out of the corner of her eye, she saw one of the classroom doors creak open. She turned and saw a boy peeking out, almost like he was looking for a professor or other adult. When the coast was clear, he left the classroom and continued on his way. Marilyn, her curiosity piqued, glanced in the classroom as she passed. It was completely devoid of people, from what she could see. What was he doing in there, and why did it seem mischievous?
Not wanting to lose him, Marilyn started to hurry after the boy. She herself liked a big of risky adventure, but it's hard to figure out of someone is the same way... unless you catch them in the act. She knew better than to call him out immediately, so once they left the corridor and were in a new area, she ran up to him. "Hey... hey, wait! I saw you come out of there, what were you doing? You were acting sneakier than my rat after he stole a student's snack!" Worried the boy might freak out upon being "caught", she quickly added, "I'm not judging. I'm all for fun little adventures, myself! I just didn't see anything worth any fun in there! Is it a professor's storeroom or something?" Not wanting to forget her manners, she finished, "My name's Marilyn, by the way."

Damion was already bored of the lecture that he was attending right now. He wished that this class was already over. He had wanted nothing more to do than to get away from this class and be on his own way. He wanted to get away from here and be in his dorm or well roaming outside. He looked at the empty corridor and wished that he was already there walking away from this class. He was not enjoying this to be honest. But well- he yawned as the boring lecture went on and on. He was feeling drowsy and well knew that he had to listen to it unless he found a way to sneak out of this place without being caught. Well wasn't that a trick?
Damion had waited for the longest five minutes of his life before he got enough courage to walk away from an ongoing lecture. He cracked open the door of his classroom and peeked outside. When he could see that there was no professor or anyone else who could bust him, he walked out of the room. He sighed in relief as he walked out of the lecture. He walked briskly away from the room that he had got out of. He looked behind himself to see if he was being followed.
He practically jumped as he heard a voice. “I’m sorry you must be mistaken.” He said looking at her. He was not trying to hide anything but was worried that she might be a prefect or something. But well as he looked at her and well realized that she was someone closer to her age or so he thought. He sighed. “Well I was getting away from a boring lecture. And then I didn’t want to get caught by anyone which seems to be moot as you caught.” He said looking at her. “Well it’s a classroom of boring lectures. I wouldn’t advise you to go there. Unless you’ve not slept properly. It will surely put you to sleep.” He smiled at her as he put his hand in his pocket. “Hello Marilyn I’m Damion” He said as he stretched his arm for her to shake.

It passed you up and slipped you by. But we're all bound to end up back to where we started
