So we meet again
@Henry Knight
Margaret smiled, in a friendly and welcoming way, as she watched Henry get near her across the hall. She had met the tall, thin, brown-haired boy with tanned skin and light blue eyes once before, in the large library with many many shelves of colorful, beautiful, and interesting books.
She was sure that they would meet again, or at least see each other, but she now is would be here, in the corridor by the great hall. She was happy to see him again, hoping that she might make a friend that she might be able to hang out with during her free time.
The hall was brightly light and was made with grey stones and had a red carpet, with yellow, spiral trims laid down across the long hallway. There were no paintings on these walls only torches and banners by the archway of the great hall. There was no need for other banners or paintings, the hall was already interesting enough. Margaret thought it was curious how the whole hallway could be rightly light but only torches.
"Good morning" Margaret greeted him as they approached each other and were close enough to have a conversation. "How's it going?" She asked.

So we meet again
Henry moved at a slightly fast pace as he walked down the stairs and to the great hall. He was expecting to meet a few of his friends there, maybe Cricket and I can catch up or maybe Miranda will be there or maybe I'll just sit with Charles again, as he thought he came up to the great hall where he recognized the red haired ravenclaw; Margaret.
Henry approached her, I guess I'll just sit with her today then, as he did Margaret spoke to him "Good morning, how's it going?" Henry smiled as he replied to her "Good morning, everything is fine I guess. What about you?" Henry made sure he was a foot or two away from Margaret so he wasn't crowding her and he also made sure he didn't block the entrance to the great hall while he listened to Margaret's reply.
Henry moves his messager type bag to his side and position the scrap on his shoulder into a more comfortable position. While after he pulled on the collar of his robes a but before running a hand through his hair, it should does need a cut, Henry tried not to get lost in thought so much as he listen to Margaret.

"I'm doing well" Margaret replied.
She wondered if anyone else she knew like Cole Tomas or Miranda Everest might be in the great hall as well but as she entered the large dome that led into the great hall that was covered in banners and was decorated with a bright blue sky she saw no one she knew so she just shrugged to herself and asked him "did you find anything out about your history?" She felt kind of bad that she couldn't really be of any use last time. She hoped that he had since last time they didn't seem to have a lot to talk to last time but if he had found out anything they might have something to talk about.
She sat down at a random seat at the closest table. There were a few other people in the great hall, but not very many. There were 3 banners on each side wall, 6 total, 4 of the Hogwarts houses, and the 2 in the middle were just of the Hogwart's logo. The tables and seats were made out of what Margaret suspected was oak wood.
She looked at him, looking for a response to her previous question.

Henry smiled as Margaret answered his questions then he followed her into the great hall, as he heard her ask him another question. Henry took a seat besides her while looking for any of his friends and also for anyone who was listening into their conversation, before taking a folded up copy of a old daily prophet from the inside of his robes and handing it to Margaret, under the table. Henry dropped his voice to a low whisper before saying " I didn't find much but I did find this in the library, it's dated to a few days after the battle of Hogwarts but this talks about it quite a lot," Henry paused as he looked around again, not wanting to be over heard by anyone.
Henry then bent his head a bit to Margaret and spoke in a low whisper yet again as he continued "on the second page plus a few more it talks about some of the families and death eaters who fought with you know who. Including a line that states while many pureblood families fought with you know who, any children that they disowned fought with Harry Potter. Also it states any children of the pureblood families who fought with you know who, that weren't already disowned would certainly be now since they fought with Harry Potter. Both of my parents, especially my mum were already disowned before that battles and I know for a fact that they fought on Harry Potter's side," Henry then turned to another page of the prophet in Margaret's hand as he then continued to speak in a low whisper" it also goes to say some of the specific families that fought, one was as they claimed the 'bad' knights. Where every member of that family fought with you know who, there were only three who were born into the 'bad' knights who fought with Harry Potter. My mum was one of them so that means there can be two other relatives who I don't already disagree with nor hate, and they could have kids my age that are here. So what I'm going to do now is find the records of every student here now and a few years back to see if any of them share my name and I could use some help, if you like to tag along?"

Margaret smiled and nodded "yes" she replied, to tagging along. She looked around to see if they were still being ignored by everyone else. She hoped no one had noticed that they were whispering and thought it was suspicious and decide to eavesdrop. No one looked like they were listening in on the conversation so she continued to talk, watching people with the corner of her eye to make sure no one either stopped talking or stopped writing to focus on their conversation. "How do you plan to find other student's files?" Margaret asked in a low whispery tone. "Do you know where they are kept?" She wondered out loud.
She didn't care much how dangerous it might be to find other student's files, she loved the danger and the adventure of it all. She began to wonder if he had a plan yet or if he was going to come up with one as the moment arose. He should probably have a plan and he most likely does. She told herself. I wonder where the files are kept and how we'll get to them; they probably are pretty guarded. I wonder what's on the files and if it could even help or if it might just be another dead end. Well it doesn't matter much anyway, better safe than sorry and at least it should be fun.

Henry smiled when she agreed to help him and again looked around to be sure that no one was listening in to their conversation. As he kept one eye at the students and professors around they, he leaned back in to Margaret as he took the daily prophet back from Margaret and folded it back up before putting it back in his robes. He then spoke in a low whisper to Margaret " the only two places I know of such records are the caretaker's office where he as records of only the rule breaking students and the head master's office. Since head master Lear's is probably dealing with other stuff and I might be able to learn the password from a few of the professors who won't know that I'm listening in to their conversation, I'm planning to one night on sneaking into the head master's office and finding his records then going through a few pages for anyone that shares my name," Henry then paused and looked back up to ensure that no one was listening before continuing in a low whisper to Margaret " and I could use the help with that so are you in?" Henry then looked at her with a smile and silently hoped that Margaret would help him with this.

"Of course, I'm in." Margaret replied. "When are we going to sneak into the headmaster's office? I assume he's only going to be gone for a while". Margaret asked in a low whisper.
She watched as a group of 3 students got up and passed by them. Only one of them seemed to care what Margaret and Henry were talking about. He looked down at them, wondering what they were talking about. She knew whispering would probably draw attention to them. "It's been a complicated week, I guess." Margaret said trying to make it seem like they weren't talking about something he would want to know about. She hoped that if it sounded more like she was venting about something he would dismiss it more. She hoped Henry would catch on too, knowing Henry probably would.
She noticed that know the whole group was walking a bit slower after he had whispered something to them. She guessed he had told them that they were being pretty suspicious. They stopped nearby and one of them seemed to be pretending to get something out of his bag. Margaret considered just telling them to stop dropping in on their conversation but she thought that could make the problem worse. Not to mention it would be pretty rude anyway.

Hearing that Margaret agreed, Henry smiled at her as he spoke " brilliant, I'll send a owl it will have to be a night where he's busy dealing with some other things," Henry then noticed that three other students seem to leave the hall but take their time in passing by Henry and Margaret which made him a bit uneasy that they heard him however Margaret seemed to think about something as Henry heard her speak and he smiled back at her and said " complicated? How so, how's your classes? Mine are dull like always," when Henry watched the three students pass them before exiting the great hall the second year figured that they were probably eavesdropping on the two but when they saw that it wasn't about anything interesting that's when they left.
Henry then quickly looked around before leaning back close to Margaret and speaking again " that was close, so the great hall probably isn't a good place to talk. Especially about private manners," Henry then looked up again and waited for a few minutes before whispering back to Margaret " I'll figure out a plan so we don't get caught if you can find out what the password is Margaret."
@Margaret Burkhart I edited my post before so you might want to read that to and also the prefect told me to tell you to put [Pv] into the title also.
