Yellow situated herself by the fire, it was later at night so there weren't many people around. She assumed none of the other students in the armchairs would mind, so she had taken over half of the couch. She curled up almost like a cat in the warmth of the steady flames, her sketchbook was balanced on her knees and she covertly glanced at the people around the common room. She enjoyed sketching all the new people she had met. She was sure her uncle would enjoy seeing what her new friends looked like when she got to go home again...if she ever got to go back home. It was times like these, when she actually had time to sit and think that she became lonely.
She missed her Uncle, and she still wishes she knew where the boy from her childhood had disappeared to. But now that she was here at Hogwarts with all her new friends, she wasn't really sure she needed to find him. Maybe he was better off being left as a memory.

Tomoyo was one of the other students perched gracefully in the tall armchairs, and she looked up from her current sewing project (a pair of lacy pink gloves) to see who had just entered. Ah, it was the younger student from the other day! Her face lit up and she almost greeted her, but it seemed the other girl was busy. She watched as the blond bent over her sketchpad, a most adorable expression on her face. Tomoyo couldn't help herself. Raising her camera, she snapped a picture.

Yellow bit her lip a little bit and fixed the doodle, frustrated. She couldn't believe she wasn't getting the nose right! The boy she was drawing was right across the room! This couldn't be happening! Her mind wandered and she found herself succumbing a bit to the relaxing warmth from the fire, her eyes beginning to droop closed.

Ah, and the girl was falling asleep...Tomoyo took another picture, endeavoring to be stealthy. Despite her best efforts the shutter-noise echoed across the room. She froze, hoping the noise hadn't awoken Yellow.

Yellow vaguely heard the shutter, but she was already half-asleep, she didn't manage to rouse herself and consequently began to doze off, a small smile touching her lips and her witches hat slipping to be situated all funky on her head.

As Yellow drifted off to sleep, Tomoyo counted in her mind until she was certain she was unconscious.
...97, 98, 99, 100.
She got to her feet, straightening her skirt, and approached the sleeping girl, camera in hand. She'd only meant to get some close-ups, but once he was close she found herself distracted by the sketchbook. Did she like to draw, then? Tomoyo just had to see what she had been drawing. Leaning over, she eased the book from the slumbering girl's fingers, doing her best not to wake her.

Yellow's fingers slipped off the sketchbook easily, as she is a sound sleeper. In her dreams she could see the little yellow mouse stuffed animal moving around and making adorable little sounds. It made her smile, because she had been given the stuffed animal by the boy who had saved her when she was young. And in her dream the little mouse was trying to lead her to find the boy. She had no idea that at the same time...in the real world her sketchbook was about to be looked through.
Inside the sketchbook was almost everything important to her, there was a sketch of her uncle, the fisherman. And there was a sketch of her mouse stuffed animal along with the boy who had saved her. In addition to those, there were several other stuffed animals sketched in the small book and a few pages later Yellow had begun to sketch Hogwarts things. There was a fairly good sketch of the castle and then several of her first year friends, and a half-finished one of the boy sitting across the room in the corner.

Tomoyo looked through the drawings, a small smile on her face. She lingered on the sketches from the girl's home, wondering what the significance of the plush toy was. As she paged further, she saw portraits, some of people she recognized, including another hufflepuff girl. Reaching the most recent drawing, she paused, holding it up to compare it with the boy in the corner. It really was a good likeness.

Yellow stirred slightly, realizing that she had fallen asleep while she was drawing. She wouldn't want to leave the sketch unfinished...and she still wanted to fix that one sketch of Jim...and maybe she should tweak the sketch of Charlotte too. As she began to concentrate on her art she slowly started to become more aware of her surroundings.

Pursing her lips, Tomoyo flipped back a few pages, studying the various portraits of Hogwarts students. She wondered if she would ever end up in this sketchbook. Admiring the young girl's art, she entirely missed Yellow beginning to wake up...

Yellow opened her eyes and made a strangled squeaking sound as she realized her sketchbook had been stolen! Oh...wait, never mind. Tomoyo was looking through the sketchbook, and some of those sketches were still unfinished! This is a disaster!! "Wh-What are you doing?"

Tomoyo was snapped out of her thoughts by Yellow's question. "Hm? Oh, you're awake!" Her delighted smile faded as she noticed Yellow's expression. "I'm sorry, I really should have asked permission but you were asleep, and I was so curious..."

B-B-But they aren't finished! And now Tomoyo was going to see her horrible unfinished sketches and think she's horrible....and worse: what was she going to think about the fact that Yellow had been drawing other people at Hogwarts?! She reached out and took the sketchbook back, noticing with relief that Tomoyo hadn't reached the very back yet...there were some things that she didn't want anyone to see. Maybe she should rip them out... "I-It's fine. I-I was just surprised."

She handed the book to her without resisting, feeling horrifically guilty by now. "My apologies, Yellow. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Maybe she could make this better? "I couldn't help but notice that you are wonderful artist.."

"Most of them aren't done..." Yellow was slowly turning red with embarrassment. "They really aren't that good." It's just doodles...so I can show my uncle what my new friends are like. He would have a heard time imagining what witches would be like.
