A Chance Meeting PV Emma Wynn Finished

Emma seemed to be grateful for the paste; barely was second guessing herself. Did I force it on her? Did I offend her..? I sure hope not. I would hate to do that
Smiling, Bailey realized that Emma was probably actually grateful for the paste, and not just being nice.
Oh wow she’s honestly one of the nicest and sweetest and kindest people I’ve met. How.. wow my muggle friends… honestly I think some of them were jealous of me now. I hate that!
Smiling wider at the cheeky grin Emma gave her, Bailey said “That’s very true!”
When Emma said that she could and would make a great prefect, Bailey smiled and blushed.
“Aww thank you. That just made my day! And did the record, I think you would be an amazing prefect too, if you ever went for it!”
Listening to what Emma was saying, about the good things and the bad things about being a prefect, Bailey nodded.
“That’s true. I feel like… well, I have a few troublemaker or rule breaker friends… and if I was with them I would end up having to tell them to stop. And I don’t want to lose those friends, or my position as prefect. You know? And I definitely think people should be at least a second or third year, before they become a prefect. I feel like first years.. I didn’t know enough yet.”
@Kim Sato, @Quinn Root, how many other rule-breaker friends do I have?

Looking down at her lap, she made sure that the books and paste were still carefully balanced, not starting to slip to the floor before looking back up at Bailey, a soft smile on her face. She was surprised at how long the conversation had gone on and that it was continuing. Bailey was very easy to talk to and Emma didn't feel the usual running out of conversation that she experienced when chatting with others.

Blushing, Emma looked down again, happy with the praise that Bailey so easily gave. "Thank you. I appreciate it." She said quietly, never quite certain how to handle praise, but also not wanting to be the center of attention at all, even between the two.

Emma looked back up in interest, when Bailey started talking again, happy to have the focus off of her. "That's understandable. I think it would be very difficult to have to give friends detention, and maybe that's another reason for someone to be older when being a prefect. They'd be more confident and able to handle giving friends detention if they were breaking the rules."

"I'm sure that you must have had a ton of adventures then! I mean rule-breaking isn't great, but it definitely leads to some interesting stories." Emma was sure that if she broke the rules, she'd break out into hives or something equally as awful. She never wanted to get in trouble, always focused on not getting detention. Even the possibility of detention was enough to make Emma break out in a sweat.

Bailey smiled at the other girl, happy that they had started talking.
Her thoughts were a bit of a mess, but that’s ok. All because of a book- I don’t think money can buy happiness, but books can help you find it! Hey- that’s good I should write that down later
Replying to Emma’s comment, she said “I agree. I think we should be older, not only so we have good knowledge of the castle and the rules but so we can make better decisions, with more thought and foresight, you know? We can’t rush in and make hasty decisions without hearing what is going on.”
Emma seems worried about ever getting detention, something bailey could second.
“The one time I almost got detention.. I kinda freaked out, I was so scared. I ended up getting out of it, but still. It was scary!”
Glancing at her watch, Bailey realized it was getting late, plus she needed to meet her study group in Ravenclaw for their weekly book club meeting.
Standing up, Bailey grabbed her stuff, and smiled at Emma saying “Hey! It was so nice to meet you and talk to you. I hate to run, but my study group is having a book club meeting and it starts in five minutes- I totally forgot until now, and I gotta run. We should meet up sometime, maybe here? I’d love to talk to you more, it really was amazing talking to you!! Bye!!!”
Waiving, Bailey walked out of the library and then ran up to Ravenclaw tower so she wouldn’t be late.

Emma glanced at the window, realizing more time had passed then she had thought. Though there was still plenty of time left in the day. She just hadn't realized what fun she had been having talking to Bailey, enough that she hadn't noticed the passage of time and wished to hurry it along, which sometimes occurred.

Nodding, Emma said, "Yes, exactly. Sometimes it's a bit hard to do that, you just want to react in the moment and that's not possible in those types of position."

Emma chuckled slightly, covering her mouth almost immediately afterward. "I'm sorry, that was rude. I just laughed because I had detention and ended up hiding from my parents for hours. I never even got close to detention again after that."

Emma grinned at Bailey's explanation, knowing with her schedule it was very easy to forget what was going on and where you had to be. She waved to Bailey, starting to gather her things, including the precious bruise paste. "It was nice meeting you too! Sure, that would be great. I'd love to meet here again." Emma turned resolutely back to the stacks, trying to determine what more she could possibly need before heading back to her common room to sit down and read them, before working on some homework.
