where: slytherin common room. who: augustine; @augustineyaxley.
Before coming to Hogwarts Dahlia had virtually no one. In social circles Andromeda Black gave young Dahlia attention but hardly anyone else did. But coming to school changed everything. She had seen Augustine before, naturally, but the two hardly ever interacted until the Sorting Hat put them in the same house. It was like the two had been separated for years. There was something about their relationship that she hadn't experienced before. She actually cared for Augustine.
This night Dahlia was in the common room with ingredients she had snagged from various places and was writing down their properties in her pile of parchment. It was a past time she loved. It soothed her and got her mind working. While she was doing this, she heard the pitter patter of familiar feet. She smiled and put down her quill -- she had been at it for a while.
"Augustine? What are you doing?" Dahlia asked without a turn of her head.
