Fifth Floor Common Room | Evening | Monday | January 11

Having all of his classes tomorrow didn't mean Bod was going to stay in his room and make it an early night. He'd thought about taking another walk down to the graveyard but decided to save that for later in the week. There was time and Bod knew neither he nor the graveyard was going anywhere for awhile.

So, he'd wandered down the hall, book in hand, to the common room. Yeah, he knew he could have just closed himself in his room to read but the common room was bigger and had food. Food that Bod immediately started scrounging for. It was a little difficult to do considering he was holding his book open with one hand and reaching blindly into the refrigerator with the other. He'd pulled out the box of baking soda three times.

Putting the book down would have been easier, Bod knew, but not as fun. So, he kept trying. That box of baking soda got pulled out two more times.

[open common room is open!]

"Aw, sarcasm always works," Rose told him. "It's a conversational failsafe."

"Why?" she asked. "It doesn't get boring."

"Sometimes it's even more fun when someone doesn't get it," Rose told him. "What are you doing? Studying conversations or something?"

"There are people doing weirder things around here," Rose admitted. "But I'll admit it's kinda weird."

It didn't really matter. He was already the weird new kid. "I wouldn't worry about it," she assured him. "But curiosity's always a good excuse."
