It had been a busy day so far to be sure. Lenora had gotten up at five again that morning to go through her choreography for Romeo and Juliet that summer. She would need to dance during the ball scene and because she was in Hogwarts she wouldn't be able to rehearse with the rest of the cast until summer. Regardless she had been working as hard if not harder than any of them in her efforts to prepare. Lenora had been in other productions to be sure but she was extra excited about this one considering she was the lead and this was a real play, not some silly little school thing.
Unfortunately all of this left her exhausted long before the end of the day. After diner that Thursday Lenora decided to go relax in the Student Lounge thinking it the best place considering the common room would be so loud and crowded and she would fall asleep if she dared go to her dorm room. So there she lay on a love seat attempting to read her charms textbook. She held her wand in one hand and tried out each flick and swish as it was demonstrated. A spark of gold shot out of her wand and she smiled at it.

Osiris hadn't been having the best day of his life it was far from that. Potions class was another disaster seeing as his plant growing potion made the plant blow up. Even thou he knew he wiped all of pieces of plant off him he could still feel it on him. He went to the common room but as normal it was to loud for him so he had wandered the halls. Then he decides to go to the student lounge. ” No one is normally there." He thought to himself. He made his way to the lounge but of course no day is perfect without have to deal with peeves. Right outside the lounge peeves came from under the floor and scared him again.
Osiris walked into the lounge yelling back at peeves "Just wait till the day I find a spell that can scare you!" peeves just stuck out his tongue and left.
He walked in not seeing a girl on the love seat. Not seeing her he kept talking to himself. "I wish he would have died somewhere else like a bathroom in a park." He looked around and finally saw the girl he was sort of embarrassed having been talking out loud to himself. He just sat down the seat across the love chair and looked at the fireplace.

Lenora's half-asleep games disguised as studying were disrupted by some boy coming in yelling. As she looked out the door she saw Peeves sticking out his tongue at the boy. She went back to her book as she heard him speaking to himself about Peeves having died. She sat up and smiled at him when he noticed her. "Actually he couldn't have died considering he was never alive. It is a very common misconception that Peeves is a ghost when in fact he is a poltergeist. They are a form of ghost yes but... not exactly. Poltergeists are "born" per se in times of great chaos. That’s why they are so prone to create havoc. Ever notice how Peeves can pick things up when none of the other ghosts can? I'm Lenora by the way. Gryffindor fourth year." She said happily proffering her hand to be shaken.
As she sat her eyes began to close themselves. Daydreams began to overtake her and Lenora could swear there was a huge polar bear standing blocking the door. She forced her eyes to snap open and shock her head. "But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might have just as well’ve been closed" She sang softly under her breath one of her favorite songs, A Whiter Shade Of Pale, trying to force herself awake. She got up and began to pace around a bit swinging her leg around like a ballet spin every time she turned.

Osiris had still been embarrassed about talking to himself he kept his eyes on the fire till she started to talk about peeves being a Poltergeists and not a ghost.
Osiris thought they were both the same but he was wrong on that one. He smiled after se introduced herself and thought to himself "At lest she's not another slytherin." The thought with a smile.
"I'm Osiris, Gryffindor first year." He got up from his chair put out his hand and shake her hand. "pleased to meet you." He said with a smile. Saying that was an old habit he got from his father. Then she started to sing he was just about to ask where the song was from when she got up and seemed to be danced. Osiris thought it was a little weird but he just smiled laughing a little inside. "Having fun?" He said meaning it as a joke hopeing she wouldn't take it the wrong way.

Lenora grinned as the boy introduced himself as Osiris and shook her hand. "Osiris, very pretty name. Handsome I mean." She corrected with a wink and a giggle. "What does it mean?"
When asked if she was having fun Lenora stuck one foot out in front of her and dipped her head in a sort of half bow half curtsy. "Very much so. But then I am rather easily amused at times. And yourself? I have been informed I am rather entertaining. But then that would be assumed considering I am an actress. Well I enjoy any section of the preforming arts myself;" she mused "but acting has to be my favorite field. Do you do anything like that Osiris? I am afraid I can not recall noticing you in the common room before."
"Oh the common room. I would that it were quieter at the moment." She said slipping into mock despair. She sat down on a couch and slumped down as if even sitting had suddenly become a great strain on her energy. "It's so nice up there when people are not milling about quite so much. But alas there they be setting off firecrackers and dung bombs. Loud cracks and smoke filling the air people screaming at the top of their lungs just to be heard. Not the place for my fragile bones at this moment that is for sure."

Osiris smiled while she talked just thinking ” She's pretty weird but in a good way." Then he snapped out of thought. "My names Egyptian, in Egypt it's the name of the god of the underworld and death." He said with a smile knowing his name would now seem very odd like it did to people when ever he told them his name. "My parents didn't know what it meant when they named me." He laughed after he said that.
"As for acting I get nervous in front of a lot of people but if its music you need then I can do that." He smiled. "As long as that music is from a flute." He got up from his seat and did he's own little bow then sat back down in his chair.

'God of the underworld and death' Lenora mused. She then giggled and sat up straight when he said they hadn't realised what it meant until after. "Did the healer look at them funny then? Like they were trying to bring a curse onto the family? I bet if I were a healer and someone told me they were naming their child Hades I would think they were trying to put their family in jeopardy."
She sat up fully but stayed in her seat as he mentioned not being able to act but that he played music. She tucked her feet in under her. "The flute? Really? Is it hard? Who taught you? I can sing but I have no talent for instruments." She spoke excitedly.
