ooc: To speed things up...
ic: Ben, Fred and Ella got up to the common room before most people using a lot of secret passage ways Fred knew like the back of his hand. As soon as they came through the portrait hole Ben went to the bulletin board to look for the Quidditch try outs
"They aren't up there yet, but I bet they'll be up there tomorrow."
"Well I suppose there's not much more we can do tonight." Fred got a mischievous gleam in his eyes "Unless you feel like a midnight roam about the castle?"
Ben glanced toward the door, "Probably not tonight, the teachers are too used to us going out on the first night, why don't we wait a couple nights until they're not ready for it?"
Fred shrugged his shoulders, "Sounds fine, breaking rules and traditions is my specialty" he grinned. "Then I suppose we'll just go to bed and act like innocent students. Good night Ella!" He swung himself up the steps to their dormitory.
Ben laughed as he watched him go then turned to Ella, "Well goodnight then, do you think you'll join us while we roam the corridors later this week?"
