Violet was fairly certain that she wasn't supposed to be out of her dorm this late, but sneaking away was too easy to resist. After all, the night was so beautiful and the astronomy tower was the best way to see it. She casually tossed her dark hair behind her shoulders as she gazed up at the stars dreamily. A shooting star began to make it's way past her. It was time to make a wish. Violet shut her eyes tight. "I wish that someone would show up here." she whispered. Suddenly, her wish came true.

The premise of being out and about at such a late hour had always drawn Madison, and most of the detentions she had gotten thus far were for just such a reason. The punishment was usually worth it as the castle was so peaceful without multitudes of students bustling around, so on a night where she couldn't sleep very well, she snuck out of her dorms and headed up to the astronomy tower.
Stargazing turned out to have drawn someone else, something she quickly discovered. "Guess I'm not the only one interested in the best view of the night sky."

Violet spun around. There stood a Hufflepuff. "Oh, um-guess not." smiled Violet. "Are you an insomniac as well?"

"No, I don't think I'm quite insomniatic, just one of those nights where it seems more interesting to be out of the dorms." Smiling, Maddie folded her hands inside of her sleeves to keep them warm, eyes flicking towards the night sky above them.
She seemed to recall seeing this girl on a few occasions, likely in the Great Hall, and was able to remember that she was a Gryffindor. "I'm Madison, by the way. I don't think we've met."

"Violet." she replied extending her hand. She had seen Madison a few times but hadn't really spoken to her. Regardless, she seemed like a nice person.

"Nice to meet you, Violet." She smiled and pulled her hands out of her sleeves long enough to shake the other girl's hand, then let her own fall to her side. Introductions usually meant the awkward bits were over, but it took Madison a moment to figure out what else to say.
"I just thought of this, but am I disturbing you? I know everyone likes to be alone at times."

"No don't go!" Violet squealed grabbing her arm. "I don't want to be alone." she smiled releasing her arm.

"I wasn't planning on going anywhere right away, I just didn't want to intrude." A bit surprised at the other girl's reaction, Madison chose not to say anything about it. Loneliness was a terrible thing, though she'd only experienced it a few times recently. "Need time and peace to mull over a few things, at any rate. Thought this was an ideal place."

Violet shrugged. "Yeah, but when someone is with me, it takes my mind off the things bothering me. I'm different like that, you know?" she smiled. Not everyone GOT Violet's personality.

"I can understand what you mean." Approaching the tower's railing, she craned her head to look up at the night sky, struck by just how many stars there were glinting in the distance. It was enough to relax her mind and make her myriad of recent..developments shrink to the back recesses of her mind.
"When you say problems, is there anything in particular you need to talk about?" While conversation wasn't her best subject, she could still afford to be nice and offer to listen.

Violet drew in a deep breath. "I don't like keeping secrets from my loved ones. I'm good at lying but the guilt of doing so just doesn't sit right with me."

"Is that something you're doing right now or have done in the past?" Madison asked, scarcely thinking about the question as she posed it. She could admit that she was a bit confused, as she had no clue what Violet was implying. The only way to find out was to ask, and if it was a boundary she shouldn't cross, well..she'd learn quickly.

"My parents passed away a year or so ago and I live with my cousins and aunt and uncle. Gosh, I love them. I couldn't ask for better people to live with, but they don't know about me or all of this." Violet sighed gesturing to everything around them. "The only one in the family who knows is my oldest cousin. I have three, you see. The point is, after all this time they have been so nice to me and I've been lying to them all along." she frowned. A tear ran down her pale cheek. She quickly wiped it away.

Now able to understand, Madison nodded slowly. She couldn't understand the parents dying portion of that - as both of hers were still alive and kicking - but she could understand, to a degree, how it could be having relatives that didn't understand this world.
"I'm sorry to hear about your parents. Your other relatives sound wonderful, though..have you ever tried talking to any of them besides that one cousin? They might be able to understand better than you think." She knew that was often the case from experience, as her father was as Muggle as a Muggle could be, yet he could connect with her in many areas pertaining to her school life.

Violet smiled. "No, they'd just think I was mental. My cousin, Adam, found my wand once and thought it was a stick so he threw it in the rubbish bin. Jesse had to fish it out after whooping Adam ass. His exact words were 'This stick is of great importance to Violet.' Adam thought it was joke as he does about most things." she finished rolling her eyes. "If I told Nathan, he would probably think I was lunatic and send me in for counseling. My aunt would go ballistic on me about the whole spell casting bit. She isn't very open minded. However, my uncle would probably understand. I suppose it would be a relief to Jesse to have someone else know." she shrugged. Violet tossed the idea of spilling her guts to her Uncle Thomas. Would it go well? "I guess I'll tell him. I just need time to prepare what I'll say and how I say it."
