Ever since Antoine gave her the map, there's been a newfound sense of confidence blooming in Juliette; she would never in a million years dare to venture down a passage like this beforehand, having enough self-awareness to know that she would only forget the way back and get lost in another part of the castle again, but now it's different. Seeing people scurry by on the parchment like beetles is amusing in itself, but discovering all of these new passageways and corridors she didn't know existed is exciting, and she's going to explore as much as she can. Hence why she's here, in this tiny stone corridor with barely any light. It's not too scary - there doesn't seem to be any offshoots that she can wander down and lose her way in, and it's all showing up well enough on the map. Well, the bits she can see in the bad lighting.

Aoibh had a terrible focus. In class, in libraries, in the common room-she always ended up getting distracted. More often than not-she blamed her brothers, sisters and friends. So, one day, she stumbled on this passage and the room of requirement. Now-it wasn't a very comfortable place to be in. Nor was it hygienic. But, unlike the room of requirement that had become a popular haunt for people, it wasn't populated. So when Aoibh really needed to study, she travelled into the passage with her books and a cushion and made a small, clean, nest of sorts in the little alcove. She had a small ball of light bobbing above her, giving her the ability to study in such a dark passage. Which was where she was today, trying to perfect the spell to give a teacup legs. Aoibh wasn't sure why she'd ever need to make a teacup dance but she supposed it was a neat party trick. Pointing the tip of her wand at the now chipped teacup (she had tried to find the small bits when she accidentally dropped it onto the stone, but it appeared some had disappeared through the cracks. Even when she casted repairo, not all of it came back together) and recited the incantation. Which gave the teacup half a leg. Aoibh huffed and flicked her wand to cast the reversal of the spell, reverting it back to its original state. Botheration. Aoibh was unaware of Juliette's presence, so focussed on her studying.

It's completely escaped Juliette that she could just, y'know, get out her wand and cast a quick Lumos and then she wouldn't jump a foot in the air at the sound of the teacup smashing in the distance. The ball of light hovering by Aoibh reveals itself too, shimmering in the air a few feet away from where Juliette's standing, and her brow furrows as she looks back down at the map: there's nobo- oh. There's a name tag. Aoibh? Surely that's a spelling error. "Um- hello?" she calls out as she steps forward, clutching the map to her chest in case it's somebody who might want to take it, for whatever reason. She's guarding this thing with her life.

The second she heard a voice, she raised her wand. Why? She didn't know. She wasn't going to hex someone. Just...the whole stranger danger had been drilled into her head. Like, drilled drilled. As a royal, the idea of being kidnapped and held for ransom wasn't that alien of a concept so naturally, Aoibh was paranoid. Because it was so logical to think someone was going to kidnap her in a weird passage in the middle of Hogwarts. Then she saw who it was and slowly lowered her hand, narrowing her eyes. "Juliette, right? You're in Gryffindor." Aoibh didn't know a whole lot about her-Aoibh had a bad habit of ignoring everyone who wasn't family or something akin to royalty. It had lead to some people thinking she was stuck up. Aoibh's eyes suddenly dropped to the map and raised an eyebrow. But didn't comment. She didn't want to know what was on that.

It takes her a few seconds to even register that her name's been said, she's that stunned; having a wand suddenly pointed at you is disorientating at the best of times, but even worse in a shadowy corridor that you've never been down. And then the girl - whose name Juliette's already forgotten - calls her out and- they must know each other then, right? Merlin, another friend you've forgotten about. Well done, Juliette. "Yes, yeah, that's me," she nods, a little more enthusiastic now they seem to be on familiar ground. "I'm sorry, but have we met before? Only you seem to know who am I, and I-" she trails off, instantly feeling sheepish. There really is no worse feeling. "Sorry."

Aoibh didn't react physically to the other girl not knowing who she was. Internally, she was turning up her nose. Was she really that forgettable? "Yeah, we've shared some classes together. I'm Aoibh," she said with a small smile, pronouncing it eve. Her Irish accent was subtle but it was there. Suddenly, Aoibh smiled, giving her face an innocent and pure sort of expression. "I really am so sorry. I think I startled you-it was reflexes."

Oh, that just makes her feel even worse; she makes mental note (or as much as she can - her memory doesn't really let her keep things saved for later) to try and keep that name in her head as she shuffles forward, smiling now she knows she's not being threatened. I mean, the last time she got a wand pointed at her in a dark room- "It's okay. I'm the one who snuck up on you in the dark," she points out. The Irish accent instantly elicits a smile, though - it makes her think of home. "Is that a teacup?"

"What's left of it," she mumbled as she frowned down at it. "It use to be prettier but I accidentally smashed it. So now it's damaged goods." Aoibh was a perfectionist and a germaphobe. Put those two together and it meant even the slightest crack, the slightest imperfection in her belongings and surroundings meant Aoibh was going to become antsy and disappointed. "Which, I know, it was bound to happen. I'm trying to study in almost pitch black. It's just so much quieter here than in the library, you know? People always speak, no matter what the librarians do and I get distracted. It's a cycle. So I study here but it's so dark. You'd think they'd have installed proper lighting in here but apparently even the faculty has forgotten this place exists."

From what she remembers of the library, it always was kind of busy to say it's meant to be a place to study, but then again it's not like Juliette has studied once since the start of fifth year. What's the point? "I think it's still pretty. The cracks give it character." Since they must already be friends, Juliette sees no problem with making her way over and sitting down besides A- the Irish girl, the cold floor making her shiver a little as she puts the map aside; but her hand stays firmly clamped down on the paper. There's no way she's losing it already. "And I think I know what you mean! Though I haven't been in the library for ages, there's always too many people. The last time I went in there -" The last memory she has of it, being an obnoxious third year who asked the librarian too many questions. "- was when somebody charmed my pencil case and gave it legs, and it ran away. I never got it back."

"I guess it does," Aoibh said before she shuffled over so the other girl had some space. See? This is what she means-she can never study because she keeps on being distracted. Honestly-she wasn't going to complain. It was a welcome distraction at this point. Until Juliette told her about someone being able to charm a pencil case with legs. She can't even pull off a teacup let alone a pencil case. "How unfortunate. No one ever found it? Maybe it's still running around Hogwarts."

"Maybe!" It's not like she would remember if she's ever seen it, which is totally unfair as a walking pencil case should be the last thing anybody would forget witnessing; Hogwarts has some surprises but that would be up there as one of the more interesting ones. "I haven't seen it since, though. I don't think so, anyway." Her gaze falls back onto the teacup, tilting her head as she observes all the different patterns and the artwork - the cracks really do add character. "What were you trying to do with it?"

"Ironically enough, I'm trying to give it legs," Aoibh confessed, "it's for class. I couldn't pull it off and I've been trying to do it. But all I can manage is a stump, two stumps if I'm lucky. It just sort of rolls around then falls off the perch. I don't know why we need this spell but we'll apparently be tested on it so..." she trailed off with a shrug.

Merlin, that sets alarm bells ringing; she can't remember anything about learning how to charm legs onto things, let alone a test on it, and the panic must show on her face because she freezes for a second before looking up at the Irish girl - if they've seen each other in class, they must be in the same year group, right? Has she seen her in class? "Are you in fifth year, too?"

Aoibh nodded as she heard the question. "I'm not that forgettable, am I?" She asked with a nervous type of laughter. "I mean, we don't ever really talk to each other in there but we were partners last year."

Ugh, Merlin, this happens every time: she forgets something, the other person gets upset or offended or nervous and then she has to run and play damage control, eyes widening and tripping over her words. "Oh- no, no, I'm sorry. You're not forgettable, I promise. Quite the opposite," she says, laughing a little nervously because what the hell else can she do? She's explained her memory problems so many times to different people that she's got it down to a fine art, but it still doesn't stop her getting insanely anxious every time it comes around. "It's my fault. I haven't got a very good memory- or, any memory at all, really! I'm so forgetful. I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on." The words come out in one long rush, hands knotted together and a daft grin on her face to make it seem like it's not that much of a big deal.

Aoibh's mouth formed a small 'o' as Juliette explained and her previous feelings melted away. "At all?" Aoibh echoed, the idea sounded so foreign. "How do you, like, live? Aren't you worried about turning up somewhere and not knowing where you are? Isn't it dangerous?" Aoibh shouldn't throw so many questions at Juliette, especially so quickly but she was curious.

The third degree like this isn’t unfamiliar - her friends all gave the same one after she initially lost her memory, seeing as she rocked up the Great Hall one day and suddenly didn’t remember any of them - so she’s well-versed in what to answer. Still, she’s just as panicky to get it out. “Oh, I remember some things! Like- I know my name, obviously, and where I live and who my parents are and all that. I just- forget more recent things. It’s not dangerous.” She draws out the a, trying time make it sound casual when it’s literally the opposite; of course it’s dangerous. Didn’t Ant tell her that she got chased by an angry Hippogriff in the Forest or something? “I just have to be extra careful sometimes!”

Aoibh kept on thinking about all those elderly people with dementia walking around the streets confused. But of course, Juliette wasn't an elderly person with dementia. And she pretty sure only muggles and squibs got dementia, anyway. "Is there a cure?" Aoibh asked after a moment, still processing it, being as slow as per usual. "You know, I'd say that's really sad but you wouldn't even remember what you're missing out on."
