There wasn't much time left before Connor would be returning home, and the adolescent was currently sorting through his mixed feelings on the subject. On one hand he was rather excited to see his family again, as well as his sisters new fiance' Brandon, but on the other hand, with the new knowledge of his other family, he didn't know if he really wanted to go back. It was odd at first, but Connor began to toy with the idea of not going home at all. Of course, though, this brought up questions of where he would stay, and what would he do.
As the seventeen year old slipped out of the Slytherin Common room and veered left down the corridor in the general direction of the kitchens, he had to tell himself several times that not going home would be even more stupid than going home. He could do magic outside of school now that he was of age, but that wouldn't help him too much in getting a job and paying for wherever he would end up staying. Still, though, he toyed with the notion as he walked along, barely noticing the several people that passed him in the opposite direction. It was around nine o'clock on a Tuesday evening in April, the weather outside was slightly rainy and dismal looking out, perfect weather for studying and snacking.
He shifted the weight of his back pack onto his right shoulder, letting the other strap fall be the wayside as he finally approached the entrance into the kitchens. He reached out a hand and tickled the pear just so until it gave a soft giggle and the whole portrait swung forward on its hinges, allowing the Slytherin to slip inside the kitchens.
It wasn't bustling as it normally was, the evening meal had ended some time ago and the house elves seemed to be preparing for their nightly rounds of cleaning. It made Connor wonder when they slept, if at all.
( Aurelie and open of course )
