Connor supposed it was good that he had never gotten into trouble at Hogwarts. He had heard of some kids who had recieved detention having to shine the suits of armor in the amor gallery on the second floor, and as he made his way up to the room from the Slytherin Commons, he knew he never wanted to recieve such a punishment.
The room was big, quite a bit larger than he had anticipated it to be. He didn't mind, though, the vast room was good for doing homework. The library, the prefect's lounge or maybe even the Slytherin common room all could have proved to be good for doing homework, but for some reason the armor gallery had its appeal to Connor. He figured his attraction of the room was because of the suits of armor themselves. What teenage guy didn't like suits of armor? They reminded him of olden times, jousting and suits of armor and those types of things.
His imagination took off as he started working on an assignment for History of Magic.
The sixteen year old's whistles reverberated off of the suits of armors as well as the walls of the armor gallery. He wasn't even sure what he was whistling, but it distracted him from the boring notes he was taking down on history. He liked knowing dates, times and things like that, but this kind of history wasn't what he was interested in. Roman times, while interesting, was not Connor's cup of tea. He heaved a sigh as he leaned back against the stone wall he was sitting up against. He was desperate for a distraction of any kind.

((May I join? XD))
The sound of her laughter echoed through the halls as Autumn walked aimlessly through the school. She had just gotten two packages, one from each of her sisters. She stuffed them both into her shoulder bag. She laughed again, reading her sister's letter. Dearest Brat,
It is ever so nice to hear that you love Hogwarts. Remember them time you snuck into my bag and tried to stow away? Mum and Da didn't even get mad at you! They just laughed for ages. I'll never let you live that one down. Everything is good here. The off season is rough. We've been having practice everyday! Everyday! I need my beauty sleep.
Anyway, when is your next Hogsmeade trip? I'd love to go there and see you. I have a few other presents I want to give you. Mum would not approve. Not at all.
Well, please owl me soon!
Love, you dearest, best, and most wicked sister, Greer
Autumn held the letter to her chest. She loved her sister so much. She and Greer had become very close over the past few years. Before they would fight to no end but right before Autumn went away to Hogwarts she and Greer just started being really close. She felt very lucky that she had Greer.
She stuffed the letter in her bag and pulled out Greer's package. She grinned even wider when she saw what was inside. Greer had sent her some muggle lipgloss (Autumn had run out), a newly knitted scarf that was Puddlemere United colors, and some of her favortie candy. Autumn really loved her sister.
She walked into the Armour Room, not looking up. Autumn had been in there once. She was lost trying to find her way to potions class and she had ended up in there. She wanted to stay and look but she made a mental note to find this place again and spend some time. She was really engrossed in her package that she didn't notice the boy sitting the room.

Connor ran a hand through his hair distractedly, smoothing and flattening it down as he wrote notes with his free hand. His whistling continued, soft at some parts and louder at others. His writing was interupted by the sound of laughter. He was almost glad for the interuption, but knew he should get back to his notes. He had been procastinating for a couple of says and needed to get this done if he was planning on attending Professor Griffths extra class in two nights. Connor hoped he would be allowed to go to the little study session. His plan was to apologize, in a roundabout way, and get back on the man's good side.
It wasn't until the source of the laughing entered the armor gallery that Connor realized who it was. Autumn, the girl he had caught sneaking out on the grounds a week ago. He almost started laughing because it didn't seem that the girl even noticed he was sitting there.
" Sneaking around again? " He jested out loud to get her attention. Curfew wasn't anytime soon and he didn't mean anything by the comment, only bringing up their last encounter. He slid his notes into his book and closed it quietly as he stood up and stretched out. He had grown tired of sitting against the old stone wall and needed to stand up for a while.

Autumn jumped a few inches as she heard someone talk to her. Well, she thought it was her because when she did look up she didn't see anyone else around. The voice sounded familiar. She started to look around, stopping when she saw the body of a boy a few feet away. She smirked as she walked closer, seeing the boy she met when she snuck out. She walked over to him, putting she shoulder bag onto the floor.
"I'd like you to know that I'm in my rights to walk here." She laughed again, quieter this time. They way they met was very different. She had been sneaking out and he caught her but was nice enough not to turn her in. With a glance towards his notebook she looked back at him. "Doing homework? What class?" She inquired. Not that she was nosey, she thought she saw something about History of Magic and she wanted to ask someone about the Professors insanity level.

' I'd like you to know that I'm in my rights to walk here. ' The girl's comment gave Connor the impression that he had turned into a policeman over night. Or rather, over the week. He grinned at the girl as he finished up stretching and she walked over. " Sure, sure. Now you decide to follow the rules, I get it. "
He looked back down to his notebook and textbook that was still laying on the floor, answering the girl's question as he glanced back up to her. " History of Magic. I actually... Kind of walked out on the first class the first go around. And so I'm trying to take some more notes from the lesson I missed. Griffiths, though, he's sneaky. He tells us stuff that's not in the text, just random tid-bits that could show up on exams. " He was rambling again, so he stopped. " What are you doing? " He asked, motioning to the package that she was holding.
