Brad had been on his way to the library when a curious noise stopped him in his tracks. He looked around to see if anyone was around, but no... the corridors were empty. And then he heard it again. He pulled out his wand and looked around curiously before hearing it coming from...the wall? He frowned and took a few steps closer, and a few more, until his nose was nearly against the wall. He stashed his wand behind his left ear and turned the other to the wall, trying to hear if the noise was coming from behind there. He knocked against the stone. Nope... mostly solid.

"Hello in there...." Brad said into the wall, tapping again and waiting to hear if he heard the noise again. A first year had come along and stared at him for about a minute before leaning forward and sticking her ear to the wall. Brad held up his finger to his mouth, indicating her to be quiet. There was a scuffling noise from behind them and the first year squeaked, jumped up and ran off. Brad chuckled to himself and turned his head so that his other ear was pressed against the wall and that he could see who was standing behind him. "I think there's something behind here. Do you think house-elves have like a tunnel system behind the walls?"

"That's all right, no one really talks to me outside of class, anyway."

Eliza shrugged. She wasn't a recluse or anything, it just tended to be that she was talked at and not to. She had her friends, of course, Ingrid, Brianna, and Lucy, but Eliza didn't really break out of that circle of friends. She didn't mind it, really, she just never did much about it. Brad seemed like someone she could get along with, though, so Eliza would not mind putting in effort there.

"Conspiracies are interesting, though," Eliza added, noting his previous comment, "I think with how the war's going, we need to look at things from a different point of view. Plus, I like the Quibbler's puzzles."

"I don't think it's alright," Brad shrugged, feeling a little bad. "But if you look at the forty-ish people in our year, how many of them are we ever going to see again? In earnest, I mean, not just the see you on the street, oh hi, how many kids do you have now, kind of thing. Kind of sad really, because at least a quarter of us will be on the 'wrong' side, by family or other connection if not their on wont," he made air quotes and gave her a half-smile, which bloomed into a slightly bigger one at her next comment.

"I spend most of my time on those, and trying to figure out what to write next. Once I have the idea the article just..." he made a watery kind of motion with his hand, "flows out, I guess. Gets lots of people angry though. Better than lies and crap though," Brad said, thinking of the other paper. "The nutty stuff, which, I will tell you Leo believes in whole-heartedly, kind of takes away from the seriousness, I guess, but it's probably better, flies under the radar of people who should care, but don't. Not about the real things anyway."

"Ooh, I know what you mean, I'm glad I made friends with Dedalus because he knows some really nice people, so," Eliza smiled and nodded a few times. She was sure of some friends, like the Gryffindors, Brianna and Lucy (and Dedalus, because apparently he didn't see them breaking up which was terribly exciting), but she did want to keep in contact with some of her new ones.

Eliza nodded, mimicking Brad's 'flowing' motion.

"That's how I am with some of my crafts," because she really couldn't call putting a bunch of sticky paper on the wall into the shape of flowers 'art.' Eliza's hands went up again and she cupped them over her eyes like a pair of omnioculars, "It's all I could see at the moment, and I get really restless if I can't finish it before doing anything else."

"Yeah, just puts things into perspective, anyway," Brad nodded, not really sharing the sentiment of having a lot of people to keep in contact with. Out of school, there would just be Leo, pretty much. Emmeline, if she'd have him - any way she'd take him, Brad would let her, but right now he wasn't so sure she even wanted to be in the same castle as him.

"Have you figured out what you're going to do with yourself after Hogwarts? Going to be an artist or whatnot like Davy?" Brad had very little clue beyond working with the Quibbler and maybe getting his babysitting job back, but as a career, he had zero idea.
