Truth be told, her initial thought had been to pick the spot nearest the dungeons. Not for aesthetic purposes or some wondrous sight completely unseen before within the castle walls. But because it would place her closest to the Slytherin Dormitories and the comfort of her own bed once it was all over. The sooner, the better, as far as Miho was concerned.

There was only one problem with that. Or rather, one person.

Being close to Slytherin territory meant that Ion would be within sight of his brother, Sync. And the latter was never one to miss an opportunity to take advantage of that fact. As much as she was loathed, sometimes, to admit it, the brothers' torturous and tumultuous relationship had an effect on her. One the young Prefect was not yet ready to confront.

Weighing her options carefully, eyes trailing behind the line of students still filing out of the Great Hall to watch the ball drop and count down to another year, it was not much longer of a wait before she was able to make her choice.

Wand in hand, the young student eased her arms into a casual fold, very subtly tapping the object against her bicep. Through past experience, she trusted that Ion would be observant enough to see that the more narrow end was pointed upward, indicating Miho's final choice and making her decision clear to him.
