This is William, the Slytherin prefect. I am writing to you with an interesting proposition. A while ago I have noticed you and @adallegra discussing a certain parchment you managed to... borrow from someone in your dorm. The matter disclosed in that piece of writing is of an utmost importance to me: it has to do with the SSOO. I am sure you remember, the "secret" Sallow fan club?
Well. It fell upon me to investigate this matter further. I might require your assistance to get to the bottom of this! As a prefect, I am to stop all the activities that students might engage in past curfew. Should you agree to help, our task is to find the students who'd be willing to talk about the club. Should this plan fail, we are to do a little bit of... observing on our own. How ironic considering the name of the organisation!
If you are interested, I'll be waiting in the further left corner of the library after dinner.
All through dinner, Theo could hardly touch her meal or pay attention to anyone around her. Mostly, she was attempting to talk as little as possible (which was hard for her) as to not blurt out news of the potential…investigations. She was practically bursting with excitement. Despite that, she told herself she could be secretive when she wanted to be….after all, she was the one who had found that letter in the first place.
Speaking of which- her eyes flick to the number one suspect in question: Lenora Everleigh. With a displeased hum, she notes Lenora had chosen peas and carrots as her vegetable dish tonight. That was suspicious enough in itself for Theo. Ghastly combination of food. What else was she capable of??
Before she could look at the horror that was anyone partaking in peas and carrots, her thoughts turned to William’s letter. She had to admit, she was slightly concerned about him …mostly because the last time they had spoken on the matter it had been so long ago. Her brows furrow in slight concern at the realization, hoping the whole matter hadn’t completely taken over his mind since then, but, knowing him…she sighed, supposing she’d see for herself in just a short time.
She quickly shoves the rest of the meal in her face before she scampers off to the library, letter in hand. She spots him right where he’d said he’d be. She was glad to see the corner of the library did provide some shadow, perfect for their meeting and adding a little bit of dramatics. She makes no grand gestures to flag him down, as to not call attention to the two of them, and just quietly slips into the seat next to him.
“So... I see someone’s ready for Phase One of W.A.R, hm?” She says by way of greeting with a mischievous grin. “I’m quite impressed William. A prefect such as yourself stealthing around? They are some slippery ones, those SSOO's. We’ve certainly left them alone long enough! Been far too easy on them, really. Hopefully it’s lulled them into a false sense of security! You should’ve seen Lenora at dinner. peas and carrots for Merlin’s sake…”
She doesn’t care to explain the peas and carrots comment, but her rambling does pause slightly as her eyes flick to William’s with determination.
“So! You don’t even have to ask. Clearly I am in. Mainly to satiate my curiosity and perhaps give Sebastian a bit of grief, but… do tell. What does this little plan of yours entail anyhow? And please tell me you somehow managed to convince our dear Allegra into this as well?” She says with a slight chuckle, but already on the edge of her seat with excitement.
