Who: Orla Quirke and Harry Potter
When: Shorty after classes
Where: Somewhere on the grounds, likely by the lake
Rating: PG
Summary: TBD.

While she knew she probably should have been inside, finishing up a homework assignment or studying for any examinations that might come up, Orla couldn't resist going outside for an hour or two. The castle was bursting with excitement over the news of the Halloween Ball and she just wanted to get away from all the noise and excited chatter that surrounded her. Inside, she could barely hear herself think and highly doubt she or anyone else would be doing their best work until after Halloween.

Legs splayed out in front of her and a small pile of rocks next to her, she idly went between writing a few lines here and there in an owl to her father and tossing a few pebbles in the lake. She had already told him about the upcoming Ball and wanted to know his opinion on whether or not she should attend and she already included in the letter the conversation she had had with Harry Potter the day the announcement had been made. What she hadn't put in yet was her questions about her mum - had she been outgoing or had she been as quiet and as introspective as her husband and daughter were? Mainly what Orla wanted to know was whether or not there was some truth in Katherine's words - was she unapproachable because she was so quiet?

"And I wouldn't want to be the volunteer," Harry shuddered, thinking about what gender detection would entail.

He grinned a bit sheepishly at her, adjusting his glasses. "Maybe just a touch of cheek yeah," he admitted. I don't know you, I should be more respectful - but all I am is serious and respectful to everyone who is not a close friend.

Orla laughed quietly at his reaction and shook her head. "Me neither," she said, crinkling up her nose as she thought about what that'd mean too.

"Oh, apparently I'm not very good at catching that sort of thing. Or so everyone in Ravenclaw says when they make jokes and I'm just standing there ten minutes later still trying to figure out the punchline." This time, she gave her own sheepish look and shrugged her shoulders. "Not everyone can be good at everything, I suppose."

"My girlfriend is the queen of cheek," Harry laughed, "I have to be pretty quick to catch up with her." He shrugged, giving her a crooked smile. "If we were all good at everything, then everyone would be quite boring." He began laughing again. "If you're in Ravenclaw, then you are able to get past that bloody knocker of yours. I'm so thick about things like that, I'd stand in front of it for hours until I finally buggered off and slept in a classroom."
