Friday evening, 10th October.
The flying fanatics of the house were busily discussing the 'obvious' outcome of tomorrow's match between Gryfindor and Slytherin.
The first year girls, none of whom where in the team- Sophia [and Tenuka] being too shy to try out and the others generally not interested were talking eagerly about the upcoming holiday break instead of doing their homework. Feeling highly rebelious.
Tobi, Elsie and the rest of the gossips were talking about the latest couples that the halloween ball had exposed and etc.
Sei was struggling along with the potions homework, extremely glad for Kyli's assistance.

Kyli gave Sei a grin, "gosh this thing is boring - next time you ask for my help with potions remind me to bring some supplies"

He smiled and looked back at the homework, determined to get something right by himself.
"So, the fifth stage is to... add- no stir- no, add. Add?"
He looked to her for guidance.

"Sei, what happened, you're immense at potions?" Kyli asked, finally voicing the thought she'd been wanting to say for a while now.

He looked up, giving her a pained look.
Sighing and chewing his lip he attempted to form the sounds into words.
"I cant-... dont-..."
He slumped slightly in the seat, half of him wanted to tell her how difficult he was finding school now, not why of course, but just that nothing was sinking in. Taking a deep breath he decided to tell her.
"This'll sound, really stupid. But... I. I just can't, think properly this term. Like, like there's this, thing, floating around me stopping everything going in."
His voice dropped even lower than it had been, to a quiet, scared sounding whisper. "I can't remember anything the teachers are saying, I'll try to take notes but I can't write anything useful and by that time I'll've forgotten what they said. And it's like I just can't concentrate in lessons, almost like I'm really tired and need to go to sleep all the time, but it's not tiredness, I just, keep. . thinking."

Kyli gave him a quick hug, "awww, I'm sure it'll pass" she said, "now, how about some more of that fun potions work?"

He nodded seriously and turned to a reference book from the library for the properties of newt tail.

Kyli would have let Sei copy hers, but she figured that it would be better for him if she went through it with him...
Charles burst into the common room, having successfully managed to find his text book and lose it again at the bottom of his bag, "hey Kyli" he stopped when he noticed her and Sei crouched over a book. He gritted his teeth, reminding himself to stay calm.

Sei glanced up at Charles' loud entry but hurridly glanced back down when he noticed the look on Charles' face when he saw him.
The gossips giggled quietly in their corner about something seemingly hilarious.

Kyli looked up as she noticed Sei do so She smiled at Charles, "hey" she said happily. Charles grinned back, not letting his glance betray anything other than happiness to see the TWO of them. "whatcha doing?" he asked casually.
"helping sei with his homework" said kyli. Charles shrugged as untensely as possible. "cool" he said and sat down on the sofa next to her. Kyli inwardly relaxed. She'd been afraid he'd make some kind of a scene. But he was fine with it.
Or so she thought.
