He does notice, yes. He wonders if she knows.



It's a long night.

Bella is up at seven the next morning. "If you want a nap," she says as she changes into her robes, "I don't need to be back in the room till ten, but then you'd miss breakfast."

Permalink

"I'll go to breakfast," he decides.

Permalink

Breakfast-time! Who else is there?

Permalink

Feral! Feral is there.

Permalink

Bella goes and sits with him. Sherlock can come too. Hash browns, om nom nom. "Morning!"

Permalink
"Morning," Feral says amicably to Bella.

And to Sherlock, also amicably, "You look like hell."
Permalink

"Yeah, Sherlock, are you going to be okay in classes, you've been up all night even if you got sleep before that," muses Bella.

Permalink

"I will do my best."

"You're behind in Charms at least, unless you spent last night catching up. I sleep pretty soundly, by the way, if you wind up spending a lot of time in our room while I'm asleep you can cast spells just fine after I've dropped off."

Permalink
"Thank you," he murmurs.

"Did you know you talk in your sleep?"
Permalink

Bella blinks. "I didn't! What do I say?"

Permalink

"Mainly nouns."

Permalink

"...Nouns? Just nouns?"

Permalink

"'Mice, iron, aphid, silver,'" he recites. "And similar."

Permalink

"Those aren't even related to what I was dreaming about. That's weird."

Permalink

Bella finishes her hash browns. "Magical defense," she announces, and off she and Feral go.

Permalink

Magical defense is all about the theory again. Feral does some eye-rolling as the lesson progresses.

Bella hangs back to ask for a syllabus. She is told that there is not a syllabus. She asks if they're going to be doing any practicing. She is told that they will do practicing when they are ready.

She sighs, and goes to catch up with Feral. "We get to practice when we're ready," she reports.
Permalink

He snorts. "Maybe I scared her off the practical stuff," he jokes.

Permalink

"Well, if we start learning hexes practiced on each other, or anything you'd have to sit out," Bella says, "but the Transfig' teacher doesn't stop handing everyone else mice just because you won't work with them, right?"

Permalink

Feral smiles crookedly. "Nah, I mean 'cause I knew what those curses were."

Permalink

"Why would that do it? He asked, didn't he?"
