Dinner had just been served when Augustus made his short travel from the Great Hall over toward the Slytherin dorms to swap into something a little more comfortable. He changed out of his school attire and placed it into their laundry basket before sliding into his sleeping pyjamas a little earlier than normal. Though he had no intentions of sleeping just yet.
Once changed, he went back to the common area where the other Slytherin students were. " Hey, you want some? " he asked a few of the students sitting near the fire place. In his hand was a box of every flavour beans. He had always gotten un lucky with these things so he tended to try and go with the gold beans which he knew were either caramel or dish washing liquid.

Juvia sat in a corner of the Slytherin common room girls dormitory, her eyes focused on the Japanese flower painting she had brought this term. The delicate brushstrokes of cherry blossoms brought a touch of home to the dark, stone walls of the dungeon. It was her only complaint about this castle, really, is that they placed the Slytherin's and the Hufflepuff's in the deepest part of the castle. She plucked her robes off of some nettle's that were stuck to them from an earlier Herbology lesson, then took some of her homework down to the common room with her to work on by the fire.
When Augustus returned from the dorms in his sleeping pajamas and offered the every flavour beans, Juvia looked up, her dark eyes scanning the box. She had always found the unpredictability of those beans both amusing and frustrating, it's why she preferred sugar quills. "I'll take one," she said, her voice calm and composed.

" Himura. " The girl had been seen hanging around his own cousin, Julian. The very same person that he had disliked. It was a shame really that the two were sorted into the same house. Then again, they did share a blood line. It seemed only natural for the two to share a house too.
" How goes you and my cousin? " He asked winking an eye watching her take a few of the beans. He placed the box to the side as his eyes scanned the homework she had. " Oh yeah? What are you doing homework for? " He asked hoping it was Transfiguration which also happened to be his favourite subject.

Juvia's gaze flickered briefly to Augustus as he mentioned Julian. She hoped he wasn't insinuating what she thought, after all there's no time for romance when your agenda is larger than the castle walls. "We get along well enough," she replied, her tone neutral and guarded. Julian had his uses, but she wasn't about to divulge any more than necessary.
Juvia turned a page over in her textbook, in the process she showed him the cover: "Magical Drafts and Potions". What she didn't show him was her own lined parchment with details on how to use these potions in dangerous situations. "It's for Potions," she said, a hint of pride in her voice. "Working on an essay about the properties of various magical herbs. Fascinating stuff, really."
"What about you, Augustus? Any interesting assignments?" She asked, her tone polite but distant, always maintaining a careful balance between engagement and detachment. Juvia had no reason to assume distrust between the cousins, so it is a good thing she always was as guarded as she has been.

" Well enough? " He scoffed a little rolling his eyes at the statement thinking about how much he loathes his cousin for what he had done. " Careful with him. " He replied leaning forward. " You don't trust someone with blue eyes like him. " Ironic considering Augustus too had blue eyes.
" Potions? " He responded as his eyes looked down at her textbook full of curiosity. " Anything interesting in it? " He asked as he leaned back into his seat listening to what she had to say next as he shrugged his shoulders. The topic of homework always seemed to be a popular thing amongst students.
" Just the usual. " He replied as he looked over toward her once more as he opened patted down his clothing to remove some dust on his clothes. " It's like the house elves don't even clean this place. " He added before noticing he didn't have his wand with him. Hopefully he wouldn't need it.

She looked right at him when he made the comment about the blue eyes. Noticing the similarity, Juvia immediately smirked. "So I shouldn't trust you either then?" Of course her tone came off as playful, but really, she mostly wanted to know what conspired between the two. "Potions? Anything interesting with it?" another flip in her notebook. And then - she nodded. Time to earn some trust, so she elected to of course be honest. "I'm studying belladonna. It's dangerous, but super interesting. I think one could make a killer potion with it if they tried hard enough."
Juvia's eyes sparkled, hinting excitement at the suggestion of a dangerous potion. It broke through her usual reserve as she thought about it. She ended up leaning back, and looked around the common room when Augustus complained about the state of the place. "We are in the dungeons after all. Likely the dirtiest place in the castle." Not that she cared too much for house elves either, so her tone remained nonchalant.

Her playful tone that Juvia used was met with an icy personality as he stared at the girl with his own blue eyes. “ Why would you trust anyone really? “ He responded shaking his head slightly. “ I don’t trust anyone. Neither family, friend or foe. No. One. “ He emphasised showing a slight look into his personal life where his distrust for anything really began to prevail.
“Belladonna?” He responded as the conversation moved on. “ Deadly Nightshade? “ He asked wondering why a student would be interested in learning about such things. “ You try hard enough and you might kill someone with a potion. “ He responded allowing the tounge in cheek moment to linger for a few seconds.
“ Regardless if it be the Dungeon’s or the highest point of the castle, the cleanliness must be standard with everything. “ He responded holding a cringe as his finger picked up a line of dust. “ Filthy.” He shook his head ensuring he took a mental note to share with their head of house.” I’ve been working on Transfiguration.” He shared as he directed his attention back over to Juvia.

Juvia remained nonchalant at Augustus' icy stare. "A thoughtful, wise, approach," she said in acknowledgment of his distrust. "Trust is a liability."
"Deadly Nightshade?" Juvia nodded promptly. "Indeed. Plus, knowledge is your best defense if someone tried to use it on you." Looking into murderous methods had a double edged use to her. It's another reason why she sought the darkest of the arts, not that Augustus would know that.
She glanced up as Augustus picked up a line of dust, his theatrics making for a humble understanding. "You have a point. Talk to Professor Channing about it perhaps?" Her tone remained as neutral as possible. She doubted very much that Professor Channing would do anything about it, if not give it to some poor student for a detention task. It would be something she would do herself if she was ever elected into Prefecture.
Juvia was interested in Transfiguration too, considering the subjects' difficulty always posing a new level of challenge in the branch of magic. "What are you working on in Transfiguration?" This boy had not been in her lessons but she knew he wasn't a first year, that was a given. She could perhaps give some insight into some already mastered material for her to help earn the trust of Augustus.

"Well, you'd have to question yourself first on why someone would want to use deadly nightshade on you in the first place. " Although Augustus was no saint nor angel in disguise, he did know enough not to make enemies in powerful places. " I suppose knowledge is power but learning it to protect yourself from it shouldn't be the case. " He responded as he shrugged his shoulder on the matter moving onto other topics.
" Because Channing is always so helpful with things isn't she? " He responded shaking his head at the somewhat sarcastic comment Channing was a world of knowledge but wasn't exactly the most approachable. At least he judged from his interactions with the witch. He had enough of Channing in class and didn't want their connections to be any more than that.
" You're a fourth year aren't you? " He questioned with a small tone of confusion. " Shouldn't you know what I'm working on then? " She was older by a year but it also meant she was a year ahead of studies. If anything, she should be telling him what to study.
