Noel followed Audrey up the stairs. He even walked in the Gryffindor common room. It was nearly empty. Most of the students were probably still eating breakfast or doing something outside. He leaned back against a wall as he waited for Audrey to come back.
"Well", he started, not being sure of what to answer. "I don't blame you. He was a jerk."
He looked at her. The color red really looked good on her. Not that he thought that anything actually could look bad on her, but whatever. When he realized that he'd probably stared at her for a while he started looking around the common room. It looked way cozier than the Slytherin common room, he had to admit.

“Wow, so you can bend the rules a bit” she said and grinned. First a hangover, and now this. Audrey had a good influence on him, apparently. She threw herself in one of the sofas.
“Yeah he was a jerk. I don’t know what I have done though, I have never even talked to him” she said and shrugged. He was probably one of those guys that chose a target to terrorize, and Audrey had somehow ended up under his radar.
“He’ll be sorry he tried to humiliate me, that’s for sure” she said confidently and stared into the fire that was lit in the fireplace.

Noel didn't move. He still stood there, leaned against the wall. He started thinking a bit about Sean. Never had it occured to him that Sean was a bully. How couldn't he have noticed that? He was supposed to notice things like that.
He looked over att Audrey after a while.
"You're not going to do anything stupid, are you?" he asked, not having a single clue what answer he would recieve. Usually you could kind of guess the answers, but not with Audrey. Not with any girl, for that matter. But Noel didn't talk to any girls except for Audrey and Joanne, the other Slytherin Prefect in his year.

Audrey grinned.
“Haven’t decided yet. It’ll be one of those in-the-moment things” she said and shrugged.
“He obviously has something against me, and I’m going to figure out what” she said and stood up. She scratched her neck and started moving towards the portrait hole.
“I need to go to the Hospital Wing” she said and looked back at Noel. She started to walk, because she didn’t care what Noel wanted to do right now. She guessed he didn’t want to do stuff anyway, considering his hangover right now.

It's because you're a Mudblood, Noel thought to himself. Didn't she get that? Even though it was wrong to judge people because of how "clean" their blood was, it was still a valid reason. Or... Not really. But it was a reason.
"I guess that I'm following you there then", he said and sighed quietly. Couldn't she like, ask, before she just walked away?

Audrey didn’t respond, she just kept walking. She went downstairs and to the Hospital Wing. She knocked, and entered. The hospital wing was filled with beds, but no one in them, which was good, of course. Audrey hadn’t been much in the hospital wing, except after the Quidditch accident. Madam Pomprey walked up to her with a smile.
“Miss Swan, what can I help you with?” she asked, and Audrey scratched her neck.
“I need the cream you gave me last time, it helped the itching” she said and Madam Pompfrey nodded
“Of course, how is it now? It looks good, considering the incident” she said and Audrey shrugged.
“It’s okay, it’s just been itching a lot lately” she said and Madam Pompfrey handed her a tube. Audrey thanked her and turned to Noel.
“Okay, I’m done” she said and looked at him. She hated the fact that he was there, listening on her and her problems. She was vulnerable, and didn’t like it one bit.

He tried to catch up with her, which he failed with. How could one walk so fast? He only catched up with her once as she walked in the Hospital Wing. He'd only been there once before, when Klaus had knocked him down a tree. He listened to the conversation between Madam Pomfrey and Audrey. He didn't think much of it. She had an itch, so whatever?
"Sooo", he said, dragging out the short word. "What do you want to do now?"

Audrey put the tube in her pocket.
"I don't know, you might need to sleep off that hangover" she said with a grin. She stretched and looked at him.
"I don't really care, to be honest I just want to be alone, but I can't" she said and leaned against the wall. She sighed and looked at him. She was really close of asking Dumbledore to postpone the project, but she knew that it was no use to even try. Why would he do that only to satisfy one student? She played with her braid and hoped that Noel could come up with something to do, because she was all out of ideas. Considering that this was day 2 of the project and she was already tapped out, it didn't look good.

He hated that she mentioned his hangover. Merlin, he hated being a bad Prefect. He'd been a terrible Prefect the entire day. He had to do something about it. Not this day, but someday in the near future.
"We could... go outside", he said, looking out the window. Just relaxing outside, climbing a tree or something, actually felt quite nice. He usually hated being outside. The wind, loud eleven-year-olds running around... But he wouldn't mind any of that now.

Audrey nodded.
“Sure” she said, and started walking. Hopefully, Eric would be outside too, and they could talk. She hoped that he had some information about Sean that she could use. However, she didn’t want to talk about that in front of Mr Prefect, but she was discreet.

Outside, the sun shone, and the weather was wonderful for being in September. She found a tree near the lake, and sat down. She leaned towards the tree and looked up at Noel.
“How far away from each other are we allowed to be?” she asked. She hadn’t thought about it, but they had to be allowed to be away from each other, as long as they were within the same radius.
