The Quiet Commonroom

[Ginny Weasly]

"I wasn't really asleep." She said, shrugging.

[Xaver]

Xaver looked at her.
"You weren't?"

[Ginny Weasly]

"Nah. Only half. I couldn't sleep." She shrugged again, since to her it wasn't a big deal.

[Xaver]

To him, it was.
"You take the bed," he insisted. "Get some sleep. Please. I'll stretch out on the foot of the bed, or on the floor or something."

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny shook her head.
"No, I'm awake now. I will be for awhile."

[Xaver]

Xaver sighed softly.
"I won't be able to sleep, until I don't have the choice anymore," he admitted, shrugging.
He glanced at one of the oddly shaped clocks hanging on the far wall, reading the time. It was pending early in the morning. Sunrise wouldn't be too far off.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny looked at the clocks, then down at the cloths she had dozed in. Wrinkled jeans and a t-shirt. She shrugged and sat down on the bed.

"You do have a wonderful home." She said, then her eyes shadowed slightly, "It's sad thatb I had to see it under these circumstances."

[Xaver]

"Thank you. It is a nice place, sometimes.."
Xaver followed her lead, and sat as well, though not on the bed. He sat on the ground, next to her legs. He followed her gaze to her clothes, then looked to her eyes.
"By the way, if you want to change, or get anything new, around the corner from these rooms are some huge places that have everything. Literally. You can pick everything you want out and up, free of charge. Some of the castle-maids here like to use the people in the castle like dolls. They see every shape and size of creatures, and they mentally play dress up. They're very good. They make everything."
Xaver shrugged.
"I'd be happy to take you there, and watch you take every last item for yourself. Truthfully, I could care less what you wore. You are beautiful in everything, everywhere."
Xaver smiled softly up at her, then turned slightly, resting his back against the bed, and his temple against her knee.
"Jus' want you comfortable," he said, amidst a yawn.

[Ginny Weasly]

She looked down at the top of his head and smiled a bit.
"No, I'm okay."

[Xaver]

"Mmkay."
Xaver nodded against her knee, and shrugged a shoulder, staring blankly at the wall, his eyes glazing over slightly as he let his thoughts ramble.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny went silent as well, half in and out of this frame of mind.

[Xaver]

Xaver closed his eyes, trying adamantly not to focus on one particular thing, though the sudden shift in mind had an awkward effect o him. It opened up the need of sleep, and drowned him in it.


He awoke, or in an even more true sense, was shaken from his reverie, when the ancient-looking clock on the wall began to clang, signaling, just as the first rays of light seeped over the land. Xaver opened his eyes, and scowled at it, flicking a hand.
The clock didn't get to sound twice. With a little willpower, it shattered into a million parts, and dropped to the floor.
Xaver lay onto his side, curling up slightly, closing his eyes again, not wanting to move.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny rubbed her eyes with one hand, and sat up. She yawned once, then looked out the window. She looked at the broken clock and shook her head with amusment.

[Xaver]

Xaver rolled onto his back, glanced at the clock with a look of pure loathing, then back to her, noting she was awake, shrugging innocently.
"It fell.."

[Ginny Weasly]

"I'm so sure." She said, rolling her eyes. She slid off the bed and walked to the window to look at the sun comming up.
