mentioning;
Yeah, okay, maybe classes were getting to Ciel. It was almost the end of the semester and break was to be starting soon, but the classwork was just too much for her to handle. From trying to juggle three essays a day to remembering which spells were to which incantation and what recipes were to what potions, Ciel was getting exhausted just thinking of going to her next class.
And, okay, maybe she was getting a little tearful at the thought of being forced to sit in her Transfiguration classroom for another hour. But why was there such a need to cry in the bathroom? It wasn't like crying was gonna make her next class stop coming, or that somehow time would stop ticking. Oh, but wasn't there a magical object that could reverse time? Ciel should figure out how to get her hands on it, that would be helpful.
Ugh, but first she was gonna have to pass all of her classes in order to be considered even smart enough to be able to use a time machine- then she'd have to graduate! Yeah, suddenly she was starting to cry again.
Ciel went to cover her eyes, in an attempt to at least hide her red eyes and runny nose. Ugh, she needed a handkerchief or a tissue of some kind to try and get rid of the sticky tearstains. At the very least, she could try to wash her face. Yeah, that would work.
In an attempt to stand up straight, Ciel found herself wobbly on her feet. It was like she had lost all circulation in her legs and could no longer feel them. She struggled for a minute before finding herself leaning against one of the sinks. She took a quick glance at herself in the mirror, only finding her puffy eyes and another girl staring at her- wait. What?
In her teary fervor, Ciel must not have noticed a Ravenclaw girl entering the lavatory. Her cheeks flushed a shade of red similar to her puffy eyes- oof, how embarrassing!
"Sorry, am I, uh, in your way?" she asked, trying to rub the tears from her eyes. Yikes, there was almost no way this situation could get worst.
do not attempt this at home, ciel is a professional cowboy!

Ebony was not feeling great. And, trust, her usual quiet spots had been taken. There were too many people in the library; the lake was unusually crowded and noisy; she was bored of her dorm and had artist's block... class didn't start until quite a while later, so she decided to go to the lavatory where she usually got her isolation when everywhere else was irritatingly full of people, even though the place may not be the most sanitary. The toilet was a last resort kind of place to stay, but at least it provided solitude.
When she walked in and towards the sink, though, she was surprised to find that she was not alone. There was a Hufflepuff girl leaned against the sink. Her eyes were all puffy and red, and Ebony could tell that she had been crying, or maybe still was. Her heart ached for the girl, even though she didn't know who she was. Ebony had never really come across anyone crying before, except for that one time in the Great Hall.
When she saw her crying, Ebony had absolutely no idea on what to do. She wasn't great at offering words of comfort or condolences, whatever was going on. So she just stood there, awkwardly positioned behind the Hufflepuff.
The girl suddenly said something. Startled, Ebony realised that she was speaking to her. "Oh- no, you're not in my way," she stuttered.

Sorry for the long wait! I took a bit of a break but I'm back now!
"Oh, um, okay." Ciel quickly turned back to the mirror, trying to hide her red face from the other girl. She had stolen a small glimpse of the Ravenclaw girl, and it only made the situation more embarrassing for her.
The girl seemed to be maybe a year or so older than Ciel, which explained why she didn't recognize her. There were only a few second year's that Ciel knew of, which were Rita and Elliott. But why was this girl in the lavatories right now? Shouldn't she be at the Great Hall or doing something like studying?
She raised the arms of her robes and tried to wipe her eyes again. The tearstains remained sticky and gross on her face, but the state of her face was one of Ciel's least problems. The feeling of her coarse robes rubbing against her face hurt, though.
"Um, sorry," she turned back to the Ravenclaw. "You don't happen to have a handkerchief or something? I'm- I can't go back outside like this..." Inside of Ciel's mind, she was cringing at having to ask this girl for anything at all. Just the idea of talking to anyone who had just witnessed Ciel crying her eyes out made her cringe greatly. But if she even wanted to go back to the outside world and get some lunch, she was gonna have to get rid of the red stains on her face.

And so Ebony just stood there, looking awkwardly and wondering whether she should offer words of comfort, but she was no good at that and what she might end up saying may just hurt rather than help the Hufflepuff girl. So she just watched and occasionally moved her hands in and out of her pockets, onto each other, behind her back... she had no idea what to do.
On the verge of tears herself, it was all she could do to bottle up her emotions and try not to let the drops of water slip out. As much as she wanted to cry, she couldn't. Because crying wasn't her thing. She hated crying, and she pretty much made herself never cry, bottling her emotions up inside. But her emotions this year... they were at an all time high, overwhelming, confusing, changing. Admiration, envy, sadness, it was all being stirred together inside of her and she was scared she couldn't keep it inside any longer. But she wanted to stay strong. She didn't want others to see her break down. So she couldn't cry. Definitely not in the presence of another.
Just then, the girl spoke, asking for a handkerchief. "Oh, uh, let me see..." she answered, fishing her pockets for a crumpled handkerchief in a corner that she never uses. Ebony dug it out and handed it to the girl, and then resumed her silence. She wanted to head into a stall and let everything out, but it seemed rude to leave, so instead she found herself in an attempt to speak to the girl. "A-are you okay?"
