After like three years, I wrote a new chapter.
The twins were sitting in their chair in the dungeon, aka the Slytherin Common room but really, they liked calling it the dungeon. And it was their chair, anyone who argued was rearranged in such a way that even Madam Pomfrey took a few days to put them right again. Wanda was playing with a small, wooden, magic puzzle, pulling the pieces out and then putting them back together again to make different shapes. Pietro was watching her but he was honestly eager to practice flying. He was the best seeker Slytherin had seen in a century. He was so fast through the air, his house colors blurred together and he looked like just a streak of silver following the golden snitch.
Natasha burst in and they simply looked at her and then away. They hardly ever bothered with people in their own year, yet alone those below them. This girl was interesting sometimes, but not always. Today she looked like she always did. Like she had a secret.
She looked at them and then away. The thought had crossed her mind to ask if they'd seen Laufeyson but she doubted they'd answer and if they did, it would not be helpful. They never were.
He was probably in his dormitory anyway. She had found out a way around the spells forbidding girls from going in the boy's rooms her first year here so she had no trouble going up to find him. The room appeared empty but that did not bother her.
"Laufeyson, I have something to tell you." She could sense him, even if he had taken a different shape.
"Banner's a 'wolf. You just catch on?" He fluttered down to the floor and then took his normal shape. He had heard her coming and had been frustrated his solitude was going to be interrupted. So he had made a vague attempt to avoid her. He was at least glad he could take this away from her.
She did not let on that she was disappointed. But she was.
"No. Stark was in the Hufflepuff common room."
Loki suddenly perked up. "No one's been in there that's not in the house."
"I know, it seems a shame that it'd be someone like Stark that'd be the only one who gets to see the inside, doesn't it?"
Sometimes, Loki liked the way this girl thought. Even if she did not understand privacy in the least.
