"What about the closet?" Lily asked. "Can that be messy? Do you think she'd look in there? I wouldn't venture in my own closet, it's dangerous. You might get lost." She nodded as if to affirm this. "Yup, you might get lost."

"She looks everywhere," Drew answered making a small face at how thorough his mother was. "Closets, drawers... even under the bed. And don't try vanishing it either. She knows that trick."

"Dang," Lily said. "I suppose I had better practice." She thought for a moment. "I thought you weren't allowed to do magic outside of school?" She asked confused. Wasn't that the rule? Had she made a mistake?

"They're um... a little more lax about it in the states," Drew answered with a small shrug. The ministry couldn't keep tabs on the American kids and the US didn't have as strict rules about underage magic.
Plus, it helped when Dad worked for the magical government...

"Ah," Lily said with an appreciative nod. She looked up at the clock and then in the fire again. "What day is it?" She asked. She sorely hoped this was not the night she thought it was.

"Tues... er, Wednesday, I guess," Drew answered with a shrug. He gave a large yawn and stretched his shoulders and neck out, hearing them crack. "We should probably head back to bed."

"I really suppose so," Lily said. "I've got Astronomy today or tonight or something like that. I don't know if I'll fall back asleep though. I really hope so." She didn't want to sleep, but she knew she would be so tired in Astronomy.

"That's what naps are for," Drew answered through another yawn. His stomach was appeased and he had all but forgotten what had brought him down to the common room to begin with. He figured after talking to Lily, he'd be able to sleep the rest of the night without incident.

Lily stood up, stretching as she did. She began to walk back towards her dorms but then turned and stopped. She turned and looked back towards the chair. "Hey Drew?" She asked quietly.

"Yeah?" Drew asked, giving another stretch and rubbing at his face before picking up his blanket and heading back towards the boys staircase. With any luck, Hiro wouldn't be snoring when he got back up there.

Lily wanted to ask him if he was alright. She still wasn't convinced that he was. She wanted so badly to help him - he was always helping her and sometimes it made her feel like a rotten friend. But she didn't she couldn't. She knew he'd come talk to her if and when he was ever ready. But she doubted it. He wasn't a talker, much less to her. "Good night," she said at last. It was better than the alternative.

"Hey Lily?" Drew answered back, giving her a crooked smile. He didn't think that was exactly what she had meant to ask him but didn't want to press it. "Can I have a hug?" he asked, hoping that whatever she had really wanted, that would suffice. Besides, he felt he could use one anyway.

"Sure Drew," Lily answered him caught a bit off guard by it, but not letting him know it. She came over to where he was an wrapped her skinny arms around his waist. She didn't come up very far on him, but she hoped that was a good enough hug for him.

He gave her a squeeze back and bent down to kiss the top of her head. "Thanks for talking to me Lily," he told her with a small smile as he finally let her go. She'd probably never know how much it had helped him. "Good night.. sweet dreams."

"You're welcome Drew," Lily said with a small smile back at him. "Sweet dreams to you too. And don't let the bed bugs bite, I hear they're pretty nasty." She smiled again, before letting go of the hug and disappearing into the lair that was the girls dorms.
