I always run but never walk, I often murmur but never talk, I have a bed but never sleep, I have a mouth but never eat, what am I?
I have no idea? This is the 30th riddle you've asked me! The exasperated Slytherin screamed at the eagle doorknob adorning the door to the Ravenclaw common room.
"Rowan just let me in already!"
" But you are sooo funny!" the witty Ravenclaw replied.
"Rowan, NOW!"
"Fine..." With an exaggerated sigh, Rowan opened the door.
"Why did you wait so long to let me in?" asked Eve.
"Because your answers were just so Funny!" I mean; I don't have eyes, but once I did see, Once I had thoughts, but now I'm white and empty."
"How could that be anything but Humpty Dumpty?" Rowan giggle at her best friends silly remark as she walked to the plush blue armchairs adorning the bookshelf clad common room. Once they both sat down Rowan summoned some steamy butterbeers. Meanwhile Eve pulled out a small flask of fire whiskey she had smuggled in from her last (illegal) trip to Hogsmeade. She always spikes the beverages they drink during their bi-weekly study sessions because she "cant handle History of Magic without excess amounts of alcohol."
"Alright, you've stalled enough. You know we actually have to study sometime."
Alright, Alright." Eve grumbled,"I think we should start with charms."
"OK. Flip your book to page 47,"said Rowan as she pulled out The Book Of Standard Spells by Miranda Goshawk."Wingardium leviOsa," cast Rowan as her book flew up to the ceiling.
"How did you do that?!" Exclaimed Eve as she tried fruitlessly to make her feather fly.
It's LeviOsa not LevioSA," Rowan quoted her favorite teacher.
"You sound just like Professor Granger!"
"Well she is the best charms teacher in the history of Hogwarts,"
"Whatever, i still like Potions class the most. Professor Malfoy is great!"
"Hes's certainly better than Professor Potter."
"Agreed!"
The girls studied for a few more hours with Rowan leading and Eve complaining. Soon, it was time for supper, and the girls dashed to the Great Hall. On the way Eve handed Rowan a stolen Slytherin tie. Rowan donned her new accessory and the both sat down at the Slytherin table. Although it was technically against the rules, the girls frequently changed tables so they could eat together.
"Pass the rolls." asked Eve as their friend showed up and joined them at the Slytherin table.
"I hope you are aware that you are breaking about 14 Hogwarts dress code rules." Scarlet said, pointing out Eves ripped jeans and Supernatural shirt under her loosely tied Slytherin tie and knee-high leather boots.
" I hope you are aware I am breaking far more than 14." replied Eve nonchalantly.
"Stop bickering you two, Scarlet, have you seen our favorite Hufflepuff recently?" intervened Rowan, annoyed.
"Last I heard she was testing the Invisibility cloak she got from her parents." replied Scarlet just as a swatch of bright blue hair appeared out of nowhere and turned into the strangest Hufflepuff you'll ever meet.
"Boo!" Exclaimed a sugar sweet voice from behind her.
"Skylar!" yelled Eve.
"What's up?" Skylars blue asymmetrical blue hair and bedazzled school robes on top of a short crop top and skinny jeans contrasted greatly to Scarlets fiery red hair and perfectly neat uniform over a starched and ironed dress shirt and jumper. While Skylar will gladly break any rule you throw at her and is the unofficial leader of detention, Scarlet is scandalized is you so much as stole a roll from dinner and is an active member of SPEW.
The four girls talked and occasionally laughing so hard Headmaster McGonnagal looked over at them. Soon it was time tosplit up and as Skylar and Scarlet walked down to their own houses, Eve and Rowan headed to the Slytherin Common Room together. While they walked down the hall, they heard a catty comment echo down the hall:
"How did they even become friends?" Eves mind wandered.
