Snippet #2450414

Eden frowed slightly when Max asked if she had her own broom. "No," she said. "My parents wouldn't let me get one yet. They said they'll send me one after I pass Basic Flying. They don't exactly know that I know how to fly already. I was only supposed to be watching Chase while he was practicing for Quodpot, but he said he wanted to show me how so I wouldn't be scared when we started learning it here." She smiled, thinking about the day she learned to fly during this past summer. "It was so much fun. I love flying. But Quodpot, not so much. I don't really like things that explode."
 
When Max agreed that they should go see the common room, Eden took one last sip of pumpkin juice before standing. Max seemed pretty sure of where he was going, so Eden did not object when he took her hand and began leading her down one of the corridors. After a couple of minutes of walking throught he winding hallway, though, she started to get worried.
 
Come to think of it, she didn't recall having seen any other students come down this way from the Great Hall. She began to slow down a bit, tugging on Max's hand that still held on to her own. "Um... Max? Are you sure you know where you're going?" she asked. "I don't think anybody else went this way."
