Creepy noises and needed nurses
Eleanor knew it was a pretty bad idea to leave the dorms at this time of the night but she still did it. Why though? It was breaking the rules! Well, she wasn't exactly a good rule-follower but most of the time it was just checking something out, not like she was going to stay there the whole night or anything! She wasn't sleepy due to having stayed awake for quite a while, working on a map until something, a noise, interrupted her. She normally didn't mind, thinking it was probably a teacher or something but her curiosity perked up after the moving metal sounded again and it got the best of her. She wondered what could be dragging a chain at this time of the night when she heard a scream, her eyes widened. That didn't sound like a teacher! The Gryffindor didn't waste any time to spare and quickly rushed down to the corridors, her steps becoming slower and slower as she got closer and closer. She could see something..A shadow. Was that the screamer?
Elena's hand gripped her locket, trying to make the dangling little chains's sounds muffled . She wasn't afraid! She had to know where that scream came from. With a determined look on her face, she stepped closer and closer until she could see.. A girl? The brunette blinked and adjusted her glasses. Yep, it was a girl, alright. One with pink hair and strangely shining blue eyes. Eleanor smiled at she approached, letting go of her locket "Hi there!" She flinched at how loud she sounded and chuckled "Oops, I mean hi! Are you okay? I heard someone screaming" The freckled girl spoke in a whisper with a slightly worried look on her face, although her smile didn't falter "Also some extra weird noises. Was that you?"

Eleanor flinched slightly at how harsh the girl sounded as her brows furrowed at the explanation. She could guess that this thing that was making Ginger unable to sleep well was something personal, maybe? "Eleanor Locklear, First year Gryffindor and explorer. But you can call me Elena, Eleanor is way too formal" Despite the girl's harshness, the brunette's was still as friendly as before as she gave the other a smile, one that turned into a worried frown as she noticed the tear running down her cheek"O-Oh. I'm sorry! I won't report you or anything! I-Uh.." Oh crap, what did she do this time? Maybe she could help somehow? "Do you..Wanna talk about it? I know it isn't ideal because I'm a stranger and all but I think I might be able to help. Did someone bully you for your hair or did you..Accidentally light someone's pants on fire?" The freckled girl wore an awkward grin as she racked her brain for something, anything to cheer the other up. No puns came to mind, which honestly wasn't doing her any good. Compliment! Yeah, that could work! "Oh and your eyes are super pretty by the way! They shine bright..Like a diamond. You know the song right? My sister likes it a lot, sometimes putting it on replay all the time. The lyrics are kinda stuck on my head thanks to that" Elena chuckled before realizing that she had rambled, also that she wasn't whispering anymore "Oops, sorry. I rambled! It happens a lot.." Another chuckle, albeit a more nervous and quiet one as she scratched her cheek, remembering where she was. She looked at the other, darker ends of the corridors "Since it's not you then..Wanna know what the mystery sound-maker is? It could be fun and take your mind off..Whatever it is you have, maybe enough to make you sleep again!" Her excitement evident in her narrowed brown eyes and tilted glasses "If it's okay with you, that is" She added with a small smile
