She paused, in their conversation, not walking. She fully intended to get back to her dorm and sleep soon.
"Salary? What is your job?"

"Hm?" He glanced at her. Stopping when she stopped. It seemed polite. A shrug. "Odd jobs. Whatever I can get between quarters."

"Oh."
Weird. She had never even thought of that. Her parents payed for her schooling and she had never had a job before. No, money was never a problem before.
"Is.. school expensive?"
She almost felt stupid asking, but she wanted to know. She only hoped he didn't think she sounded like a silly rich girl.

"It's not cheap."
He shrugged. Compared to a lot of things it was.
"But it's managable."

She nodded and began walking down the staircase. Her hands stayed in her pockets. A habit that had resulted in quite a few stumblings in her life. When she was younger it was hard for her to get used to her long limbs and always keeping her hands in her pockets didn't help. This time, though, she probably wouldn't fall down the stairs.
"Do your parents help?"

Hopefully not. He can't guarantee in his three fourths awake state than he'd be of any help. Another shrug.
"When they can. My sister is still at hogwarts and my brother's just started university. They don't have enough money to pay for me, him, and her school supplies. So I told them not to worry about it."

How long had Birdy been on the team? And she had no idea he had siblings.
"Which University?"

"I can't remember the name. Starts with an R or something. It's in Wales." He shrugged. "More academic, less sports."

She made a face. That was Beauxbaton was like and she hated it. Quidditch was her life, even if she didn't really know it yet.
"Wales?"
Thinking about it, her and Sterling really didn't talk that much. They both loved quidditch and that was their lives. As for their actual lives? When did they ever have time or want to talk about it with eachother?
She stifled another yawn.
"Why Wales?"

"My moms originally from Wales." He shrugged. "I guess because we used to visit her family a lot, and he's always liked it there."
They didn't talk about anything but Quidditch. Had he been a little less tired he may have noticed the odd topic. It didn't bother him, talking about silly things like that.
"I think he's going to become a teacher. Or maybe just a lecturer. Something boring."

She chuckled a little, maybe even a giggle. As in she thought that was funny. Something Sterling said. Birdy just laughed at something Sterling said. What kind of a crazy twilight zone was this? Damn. She was tired.

He smiled a bit. They must be loopy. She was laughing at things he said, it was making him smile. Someone pull out the cots, they're going down.
"This should be my last year, though. If I pass."

Not her fault, she hated mornings.
That caught her off-guard, though and it nearly woke her right up. She stopped at the bottom of the stairs and turned to stare at him.
"What?"

He kept moving a bit, then stopped to glance back at her.
"After this year I'm done here."

"Wait.."
She blinked, trying to clear her tired mind and figure out what he was saying.
"You are leaving?"
Did she look upset? Well she was! He'd never said anything about leaving!
