YOU GET A TAG, YOU GET A TAG...

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.

IT LIIIIIIIIVES...

"A-ah! The Tower, then! All right!"

Beaming at her, Ion started to turn to make his way towards the nearest staircase--then turned back around twice as fast, the light of a sudden realization flooding his face.

"...Oh...! Actually, I suppose there's one more option--we could always borrow one of the boats they use for the first-years' travel across the lake! That way, we could really have a front-row seat...and it wouldn't be hard to summon some blankets and cushions, so it would be warm and comfortable as well, not to mention uncrowded."

this level of necromancy is amazing

Decision made and agreed upon, the young witch turned to start their long trek towards the top of the tower when his words and action stopped her short. And if she were any other person, Miho's face would have morphed into a deep grimace of disdain at the mere consideration of taking to the boats for an option. As it stood, all that could be seen of was the smallest of pinches between the dark lines of her brows. And that should have been telling enough of what she thought of that option.

It was not a matter of having the best seat to watch the ball drop or to welcome in the new year. Miho hardly put any stock in the concept of new beginnings or fresh starts marked by a simple day on the calendar, even if it was the first of a new cycle of sorts. She never held herself to such restraints. And she certainly would not risk drowning or the wrath of selkies for it.

That settled, the young witch finally turned and resumed her course towards the Tower with little fanfare, trusting that Ion would not be far behind. Besides, if she was to be forced in joining the festivities as the Head Girl of Slytherin House, Miho could at least find some use in having the bird's eye view the tower would provide her.
