Closed The Quiet Place Open for anyone!

It wasn't the first time Lexie had snuck out of the dorms after curfew, but it never seemed to get less nerve racking. It was another cold night, and she couldn't sleep, eventually getting sick of twisting and turning in bed. She was lying in her bed wide awake, when she heard someone leave the girls dorm. Lexie had gotten up quickly but only managed to see a strand of brown hair darting out of the room.

Curious, she quietly followed the person and tried to track their footsteps, relieved when they only went down one floor and entered an unfamiliar room. Lexie went up to the door and touched its wooden frame, unsure whether or not she should go in. She decided on the latter, after all she wouldn't be able to sleep if she didn't satisfy her curiosity. The door creaked as it opened, and the light of a giant chandelier flooded into Lexie's eyes. Squinting, she saw a girl, probably a first year, sitting in the corner with a book on her lap.

Lexie stared, what on earth was this girl doing in the middle of the night? Sneaking out, she understood, but to read? Lexie had no idea why any sane person would do such a thing. She had half a mind to leave right there, but the creaky door had given her away. "Uhm, hi. Wha- what are you..doing?"

Someone had entered the darkly lit room. "Oh no! Am I going to be expelled?" she thought. A tall brown-haired girl entered the mysterious room. "Uhm, hi. Wha- what are you..doing?" "Oh hello..." Hannah said. "I'm just studying, you see, I have a test tomorrow, and I needed to find a spot to study, it's my first class tomorrow, and I couldn't sleep." she told the girl, she couldn't help but wonder why the brown-haired girl stood there. "And... what are you doing here in whatever this room is?" She stood up and looked at the chandelier "It's beautiful, isn't it? The chandelier I mean." "Oh I'm sorry, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Hannah, Hannah Blossom. I'm a first year, what's your name?" the read-head asked. She looked like a Elizabeth or an Alex, maybe a Tori? "I haven't seen you around, what house are you in?" Hannah was asking many questions, maybe too much. She looked around the room again and walked around a bit through the room leaving her books in the corner, and ignoring the brown-haired girl, whose name still wasn't known. She thought about how she was embarrassing herself. "Sorry" she mouthed. She didn't know if the girl understood.

It was Bridget's first night sneaking out of her room, she couldn't fall asleep. She looked at one room that to her, stood out. "The Rehearsal room" she had read about it before, in "Hogwarts a history". She entered the great big doors. "Excuse me?" "What are you doing here? She saw two girl, a red-headed one, and a brown haired one. They both looked like first years, she decided to introduce herself "I'm Bridget Levitte, a first year. I'm a Hufflepuff." She spoke quietly, but the girls seemed to understand. She looked up to the great big chandelier and thought it was beautiful. She saw a few books and decided to ask why? "So, umm I see some books over there, are those yours? I mean..." She waited for their responses and sat down. She was tired of roaming the castle. The blonde girl saw that this was maybe a start of a new friendship. A friendship tri0? They could become as close as they could, or just enemies. Bridget turned around to look at the room again, it was so beautiful, how could a room be like this? She turned back to where the girls were and stood up again.

It was rare that Gavin had trouble sleeping. However, perhaps being in the new environment that was Hogwarts was throwing him off his usual groove because he found himself wide awake late at night for once. Thus, ever the adventurer, he found himself exploring the castle.

He made it all the way down to what he thought was the fourth floor when he noticed a light on in one of the rooms, as well as a congregation of people. Quietly, he started heading for them.

What are all these people doing in one place...? he wondered. From what he observed, they all looked around his age. 3 girls, one blonde, one brunette, and one redhead.

The first thing he heard was the tail end of something the blonde girl was saying as she sat down near them. "...see some books over there, are those yours? I mean..."

Deciding to make his presence known, Gavin strolled right on into the room and sat down on a nearby piano bench, crossing his legs. "I'm not intruding, am I?" He didn't have the energy to be sarcastic at the moment, so he simply slumped backwards a little bit and added, "You're first years, right? I am too. The name's Gavin."

Yeesh, you could cut the air in that room with a knife. It wasn't exactly tense, per se, but it was certainly awkward. It made him want to pick at his nails. I really need to get out more if I get so bothered by a simple conversation, he thought scathingly.
