"Ah yeah, I'm fine..." She's lost in thought for a moment, "Was Benny having a meeting or something now?"

"Yeah, I think I heard about that...we could maybe check it out? I haven't really gotten a chance to know those guys." Clara shrugged.

Elizabeth finally got out her notebook, writing down the notes from class. After she finished, she paused and fetched her encyclopedia. She started to write down words and descriptions relevant in each of the sections. Conjuration, sorcery, alchemy, and enchantment were each neatly labeled on the post it notes sticking out of the notebook.

Shannon, Max and Clara head back into the hall, Benny's door closing behind them. Shannon hesitates for a moment then sobs and throws her arms around Max.
"Thank you."

He hugs her back. "It's ok. Bad things happen in this place. It's not your fault. We can still be friends, I just won't particularly trust you much. Besides. You are a connection to the upper years. We can use that to our advantage to help us all survive."

"If you need anything, Shannon, you can ask me. I'm happily completely uninteresting."

Shannon's grip tightens on Max and she pulls Clara into the hug.

Clara hugs back, sighing slightly in a mixture of contentment and exasperation.

Shannon makes a small sound, squeezing them both for a moment then lets them go, stepping back and rubbing at her eyes with her sleeves. She wraps her arms around her self shaking slightly and blinking away the tears.
"Yeah, I, I'll..." for a moment she looks terrified before she grits her teeth and clenches her grip, her fingers digging uncomfortably deep into her arms, "I'll be strong enough for this place."

Elizabeth sat up suddenly in her bed. Drawing her knees into a cross legged, she sat there for a few minutes before wiping the sweat away from her forehead. She staggered out of bed and shuffled to the cafeteria. Focusing on the buffet tables, she grabbed herself a piece of old toast and an empty glass before heading back to her room. She saw Shannon, Max, and Clara hugging farther up in the hall causing her to stop walking. Swallowing the dry piece of toast in her mouth, Elizabeth opened her mouth to speak. Then shut it quickly.

Don’t be stupid Elizabeth. Don’t ruin the moment. Tact you stupid girl, tact.

She walked off silently into the room and headed to the bathroom, finishing the last piece of toast beforehand. Elizabeth filled her glass with water from the bathroom sink and tipping her head back, drank it all down. Then back on her bed, she begin to read ‘A Brave New World’, rubbing at her eyes occasionally, her head propped on her arm.

((I apologize for the cardinal sin of double posting.))

Elizabeth stuck her head out of the door and looked back and forth to check if anyone was out there. After confirming the complete lack of people, she walked up to Benny's door with a folded jacket in hand. She hung the jacket on the doorknob and knocked on it a few times before walking quickly back to her room.

Breakfast, day 21.

There seems to be some kind of bug going around, judging by the coughing and sniffles heard over food. This has not stopped the socialization between yearmates and cliques. Some enterprising students have taken to offering charms and potions to ward off or cure whatever it is, but so far only a scant handful of students have bought whatever they were selling.

Breakfast today seems to be heavier on the fruits and grains, leaner on the meats.

Elizabeth walked in quickly, scanning the tables of food. She was finally sick of toast, so she was going to eat a little more today. Fruit. Fruit was good. She got the largest plate she could find and dumped all kinds of fruit on it. Then she found an empty table and began to eat.

Lily pops into the cafeteria. Humming a few bars of "Hedwig's Theme," she puts together a balanced breakfast while being pretty picky about which articles of food she takes. Eventually satisfied with the food on her tray, she looks for a seat and lights up when she notices Elizabeth.

"Hey Elizabeth," Lily said while sitting down, "how's it going?"

"Pretty good. Other than a few instances." Elizabeth said with a frown. Elizabeth ate a bit of honeydew melon. "Be careful in the halls when you're alone. I .. got kidnapped. I think I nearly got experimented on."

(Shannon is... huh, comparatively unstressed and untraumatised today)

Shannon grabs an orange and a banana. Shying away from the noticeably sick she heads towards Elizabeth and Lily's table, talking the place next to Elizabeth and across from Lily. She shudders, catching Elizabeth's statement.

"At least you got away, you'll be more careful now, right Liz?" She seems concerned, then turns to Lily, giving her a small smile "Hi Lily, you been ok? I haven't seen you around much. You should come visit some time. You know where our room is right?"

Elizabeth nodded at Shannon's remarks. She munched on some watermelon.

Lily's spoon full of porridge stops half way to her mouth. "Kidnapped?!" she exclaims in a strangled voice. "That's horrible. Are you OK? Let me know if there's anything you need."

"Oh, I've been doing OK Shannon. Bit busy. Bit paranoid, I thought, but maybe not if totally innocent people are getting kidnapped." Lily shakes her head and resumes eating. "I will definitely swing by to hang out with you sometime. It's downright criminal that we haven't so much as studied together. I guess I got caught up in experimenting with magic. Pretty exciting, but I'm sorry I let it push more important things out of my mind."

Kirana arrives alone this morning, instead of with Shawn and Ancell. She puts pancakes and a variety of fruits on a plate, then takes a look around. Spotting Shannon, Elizabeth, and a girl whose name she does not recall, she heads over to that table.
"Good morning," she says pleasantly. "Excuse me, but may I join you three?"

Elizabeth shrugs and looks over at Lily and Shannon. "I'm fine with it if they are."

To Lily: "I know, me too. I've just been getting lost in things I guess. I really should have made more of an effort after you were so sweet to me when we met and everything."

To Kirana: "Go ahead."
