The first week back from Christmas holidays was not a happy time for Fay. She loved Christmas and all the gifts and festivities that came along with it. She especially enjoyed the family time, and the festive meals with her relatives. Suffice it to say, being back in the castle was not her idea of fun.
She now sat in front of the fire, cuddled up in a fleece blanket, with a sketchbook propped up in her lap. She had many quills and inks and was working on her latest project; Mab, the queen of fairies. This would be her best drawing, yet! Or so she hoped.
She was working so intently that if anyone had approached her, she probably wouldn't have noticed.

Minka had stopped by the Hufflepuff common room, making sure that everyone was back on track after the holidays. Minka was seriously hoping that Hufflepuff would get their act together and at least beat Slytherin in the race for the House Cup. She planned to give them a 'pep-talk' later on, but for now the student curled up by the fire seemed to be of more interest to her and wondered over.
The gypsy woman crept up behind her and looked down over her shoulder, the student so absorbed in her work would have failed to even notice until the head of house spoke.
"Zat's vhery good, though I'm not partikularly fond of faeries- The tend to make Neusence..."
She pointed at the wings in the sketch, revealing her horribly scarred hands.
"You know vhere faerie dust comes from?"

Startled out of her concentration, Fay almost jumped out of her seat. She calmed herslef quickly and turned to look at ther Head oif House. "Oh, hello Madame Minka, thank you! I didn't notice you come in..." Her voice quieted as she noticed her House Head's scarred hands. 'Oh Merlin! I wonder what happened to her?'
She shook the surprise from her words and answered the profesor's question with her normal cheer. "Fairy dust comes from fairies, of course!"

"Well, yes, but more spezifically, they crush their wings into a fine powder- after they hang them up to dry..." She closed her hand into a tight fist whe she said 'crush' and she cleared her throat. "There will be a Hufflepuff meeting later on, letting your fellow classmates know would help me greatly...It will be just before bedtime, tonight, in the common room."

Fay blinked a few times, rather taken aback by the Head of House's explanation. "...Oh. That's so sad for the fairies, though!" she exclaimed. "Crushing them... Hmph."
Nodding, she said a little more cheerily "Sure thing, Professor, I'll let everybody know!"

"Zhank you. It is appreciated." Minka left Fay behind and started down the corridor to the boys dormitory, presumably to go and spread the news about her meeting. [Please actually go and tell the other Hufflepuff students about the meeting IC.  ]
