Vivianna pretended not to notice that the other girl had paused before drinking the potion. While many would consider such an act as a sign of deepest insult, the redhead was ever so slightly pleased. The action had proven to Vivianna that her dorm mate was at least decently trustworthy, for she'd thought before acting but had not hemmed and hawed in the foolish way that many teenagers do.
Offering a single nod in place of a response, the blue-eyed witch sucked on the end of her own sugar quill contently. It was a little strange how well the two of them were already getting along. Vivianna tolerated very few other students whom lived with her in the dungeons. As much as she respected her fellow snakes, most were either intimidated by her or resented the lack of information she shared. Her almost legendary mood swings and extreme viciousness of her pet probably didn't help much either. The fact that she had paid little mind to a possible ally, perhaps even friend, whom had resided in her very dorm room for years was an odd concept to wrap her head around.
"Catch them off guard," the witch continued softly. The idea had its merits. After all, such a sudden frontal attack was the last thing the house of lions would expect from sneaky Slytherins like them. "And you're right about their defenses, all they have is a password portrait. They don't even guard their password very carefully. In fact," Vivianna paused for a moment to lean in, feeling rather proud of herself, "unless they've changed their password within the last two days, we should be able to walk right in."
No matter how proud of this valuable information, the redhead wasn't exactly about to share how she'd gotten it. While Vivianna was far from the cruelest of her housemates, she definitely had what the average witch or wizard would call "questionable morals". While the girl herself considered her own morals perfectly reasonable, she didn't quite know Sonia well enough yet to comprehend the other female's own ideas on such matters. Vivianna would keep her mouth shut on matters of blackmail for now.
