The entire day had basically been wasted on nothing. Being in the Slytherin dorms all day was boring but it was better than being among all those girls who were in the common room talking about stupid things that happened throughout the year. Of course, she shouldn't be talking, her best friend was one of those who was down there talking about those things and she'd been the one to send her there. She needed to know something but those girls just annoyed her, so she'd asked her best friend to go ask around for her.
The girl had never come back up though. She'd been absorbed by the conversations and by some miracle, when Danielle went down there, she was able to get out of the common room without being detected. Well, almost. One girl came up to her just as she reached the doors and asked her to join in there conversation. Dani had hesitated and shouted something out about a Hufflepuff Vampire that had been the center of their attention. They began to go crazy with the conversation and she found the opportunity to sneak out as they spoke over each other.
Dani immediately headed for the Great Lake, since it was pretty much the only safe place at the school right now. Everyone was back inside the castle because it was already starting to get dark, so it was the perfect place to be right now. As she approached the lake, something caught Dani's eye. Another person was sitting where she usually sat everytime she went to the lake. Well, she supposed that the tree was everyone's favorite place, so she couldn't complain. Sighing, she continued toward the tree and noticed that it was one of her housemates that was sitting there. Caiden, she believed his name was, though she never really interacted with the boy. "Hey, mind if I join you?" she asked him when she got to the tree.
