Who: Callidora and Harfang
Where: The foot of the staircase, Great Hall, Hogwarts
When: Monday evening, seven-thirty.
What: Rounds!
Why: Sara wants to have some sort of vague, business-like relationship established- since they HAVE been in school together for SEVEN YEARS- before the shit hits the fan with Cedrella and Dora finds herself affianced to a Longbottom.

At seven twenty-five on the dot, Callidora Black appeared at the foot of the staircase. Evening it might have been, but her blouse and skirt were perfectly pressed and no hair on her head was askew; neither did she sit on a step to await her partner, or even lean. Her posture was ramrod-perfect. The Head Girl would keep up appearances no matter what, thank you very much.

Not that she relished the idea of doing rounds with the Longbottom boy. She didn't mind his company, certainly, but he was far from a friend, barely even a peer, really, and that only because his family had managed to retain its purity minus any wealth or dignity. And she'd been planning to spend the evening quietly, finish up some assignments, that sort of thing. But a Head Girl had to do what a Head Girl had to do. She glanced at the clock- not impatient, of course, that wasn't becoming, but not terribly pleased to stand here waiting either.

Callidora, honestly bored with the cat talk now, nodded that off, remaining silent while it was clear Harfang was pondering. Her mind wandered briefly- to Cedrella, as always, what her sister could be doing now, and oh dear, what if she was with that Weasley boy, and-

Recalled to the moment by Harfang's comment, Callidora blinked at the boy, her brows shooting up. "Unless they heard it from you, that would have been quite hard," she pointed out after a moment. "Did you warn them, then? 'Be good, tonight, children, Callidora Black will be watching?'"

"Oh, no, of course not!" Harfang insisted. But then, "Well, I mentioned it to Pippa, but only because she'd asked about my day! I'm sure she wouldn't have told anyone. Maybe it was Riley?" he offered sheepishly.

Callidora bit back a smile by pressing her lips together tightly. "You may relax, you know, Mr. Longbottom," she said gently. "I hardly mind if you told the entire school; I'm only doing my duty, after all, as are you. It's not quite a secret that the Head Girl does rounds. And even if it were, I don't bite, you know." Unless you got cheeky with her, but she could hardly imagine that from this particular boy. He was a Hufflepuff, after all. Harmless. And for all that she expected the proper amount of respect due her name and her status from her peers, the girl didn't actually want anybody afraid of her or her reactions. Except possibly Cassiopeia, but that was for the greater good.

"I'm sorry," Harfang said, his words spilling out in a rush, "only you're the Head Girl and a Black and my parents always taught me to be respectful to my superiors." And Callidora Black was about as far superior as one could be to Harfang Longbottom, unless perhaps they were the Minister of Magic.

"I'll try to be more... relaxed," he offered, yet he certainly didn't sound any more at ease.

Well. Callidora had to admit that that was reasonable. Still, respect was one thing, jumpiness another. "Do," she murmured after a minute. "It would actually be the most respectful thing, since I've requested it, don't you think?"

Harfang walked in silence for a few moments, bringing his breathing and heart rate under control. At length, he agreed with a simple, "Yes, it would."

The young man's eyes roved the corridors as they made their rounds, looking for anything out of place. The student body seemed to have been particularly well-behaved that day, however. There was nary a student in sight, though it was not yet past curfew.

"Did you give warning that I'd be out?" Callidora asked after several minutes. "I haven't seen it this quiet since everyone was down with that awful fever two years ago, do you remember? Only it hadn't gotten into the Dungeons yet, so we Slytherins were pulling all the rounds, and everyone was too ill to sneak about."

"Of course not," Harfang assured her, attempting, mostly successfully, to keep the nervous squeak from his voice. "I only told Pippa, and she had no reason to spread it about." A brief pause as he thought back to his fifth year, then, "Yes, I was in the hospital wing for three days, it was awful."
