#w.a.r.

"Ah," he rubs his eyes in an attempt to reset his thoughts. "It's really nothing. Just..." he sighs, leaning back on his chair, folding his arms on his chest. "You know about SSOO, right? I heard you talking to Theodora about it. The secret Sallow admiration society or whatever? Well..." The Slytherin wills his brows to unfurrow and assume a somewhat neutral expression. He doesn't need other people in the common room to observe how frustrated he felt, putting on a mask is the right call. Everything Will says next is but a whisper.

"They never invited me! Everyone knows I love these kinds of, er, little clubs." Will blushes, a small smile dancing on his lips as he remembers something, but it quickly slips away. "So... I am trying to come up with a plan. How do I infiltrate their ranks? How do I find out where their meetings take place? And is there a way I can find out if they are doing anything unsanctioned in the meantime? My only real lead has vanished because the meeting mentioned in the parchment Theo procured? It already passed. And I have no idea if Sebastian even attended! I was patrolling the corridors all night, how are they so sneaky!"

Will grabs onto Allegra's sleeve, bringing his face closer to her, looking his friend straight in the eyes so that she can feel the intensity of his determination.

"This is W.A.R.: William Abbott's Retaliation! If they can't accept me then I will find a way to tear them down!" Will shakes Allegra a little at his last words, voice undoubtedly going high enough for a couple of first years passing by to squeak in surprise. Instead of glaring at them, Will lets go of Allegra and brushes his prefect badge nonchalantly while smiling sweetly at the witnesses, in stark contrast to how he probably looked just a second ago.
