No, it really wasn't why she was out here alone, but she supposed it was a good enough excuse to be. Sloane had only admitted to Sisse about some of her teenage drama problems, she highly doubted Ned wanted to hear about them. "Needed a break from the common room, though I'd work on the metamorphmagus things without anyone laughing at me." It wasn't exactly the truth, but it would work.

Sloane sat up and sighed. "Strange to be born with some innate ability and have zero control over it." Rufus had no problems with it at all! Maybe she needed lessons on this instead of quidditch when she saw him next. It wasn't like she knew anyone else with the ability so she could ask them. If she had any Ravenclaw in her, she could check the library, but that required effort and drive she did not have- at least in regards to research.

"What brings you out here then?" She eyed him, tossing her braid over her shoulder casually, now that she was done looking at the ends for any sense of change.
