Serene felt the sudden urge to attempt to strangle her and another urge to give her a hug. The two sides of herself seemed to be playing against each other: She still cared about her friendship with Eileen, but she didnt know if she could trust her after what had happened at the summer house in France.
She grasp her hands together and then stared at the ground. Eileen was the only connection to Shawn that she could find. Everyone else thought that she had run away with him after the Emory murders. Serene realized that she had been holding her breath and she quickly exhaled, "How do you...intend on finding him?" She asked.

Eileen sighed. She wasn't sure if she should even be speaking to Serene right now, but as it were, she didn't have a choice. This was not part of her plan- which was mostly find Shawn and kill him. But as she thought about it, maybe she wouldn't have to kill Shawn. If she could convince him that it was all a set up, then maybe he would stop his little vendetta. But then she'd have to find proof, and she had no idea where to find that.
"He usually finds me," she said to Serene. "He has eyes and ears all over this castle. I know of one. But there are others, and he knows every inch of this castle. For all I know he could be watching us right now." Though she highly doubted it, if he was, he'd have come out of hiding after seeing Serene.

Serene found herself deep in thought about Shawn. She wondered if he had any idea that she was here. Her thoughts were mostly negative. There was no way that anyone would have recognized her...except for Eileen. She was the one loose end. She felt her eyes traveling around the room, absentmindedly looking for something that would signify his presence. Then she realized how stupid she was being.
"So you just...come out to a very open and vulnerable place and-" Serene narrowed her eyes, "Wait?" It seemed like a stupid idea to her, but then again, she had never been one to seek other people out.
Serene's thoughts were suddenly on the two prefects that she met. His eyes an ears. Shawn would have been smart and picked people of power, she knew him well enough to figure it out, "The one you know...Slytherin or Hufflepuff." She was testing the water, wondering if her theories were correct. For all she knew, she might be completely off base, but it was worth a try. Anything was worth a try.

Eileen bit the side of her cheek, "Slytherin... What do you mean Hufflepuff?" She knew for sure that Cameron Stiles was in league with Shawn. But a hufflepuff? Her brows forced together in thought.
"I was on my way to the Slytherin Common Room," she said.

Serene simply shrugged her shoulders, not sure if she should say any more. She picked up some of the books that had slipped out of her bag during the fight and shoved it back into her satchel, "I dunno. Saw something suspicious today. Could be related. Then again, could be something entirely different." She put her fingers to her lips as she thought about the implications of the situation. The sooner that Eileen found Shawn, the sooner that Serene could see Shawn. Provided he even wanted to. She bit her lip and remained quiet for another minute.

Eileen walked passed Serene and made her way towards the dungeon as she straightened her attire and hair. "What did you see?" Eileen asked curiously. Any hints or clues was helpful and although she was almost sure Serene would back stab her sooner or later, right now she had her on her side- sort of.

Serene took this as an opportunity to follow her and stalked after her, staying a few paces away, just to insure safety...just in case, "Do you know who the Hufflepuff Prefect with the longer hair is? Kinda tall? Ermmmm. Has a butt chin?" She couldn't really think of any other descriptors, "Kind of cute. If you're into Hufflepuffs...?" The last one was a long shot, but she didnt know his name, so it was the best she could do, "They were talking in the restricted section. And I mean really talking. Cameron got upset that he approached him in public."

Eileen stopped and looked at Serene. There was only one Hufflepuff prefect, "Caleb Hunt?" She looked at Serene like she was crazy and shook her head. Continuing to walk, she looked at every nook and crany of the hallway just in case he was hiding somewhere. "You must be mistaken," she said.

Serene shook her head and kept walking after Eileen, this time matching her pace so that they were walking side by side, "I'm not. I'm just telling you what I saw, Harlow. I wouldn't lie about something like this, Eileen. Not if it means seeing Shawn again." She muttered and then looked forward, searching the shadows for something...anything...anyone, "They were definitely up to something. It rubbed me the wrong way..."

Eileen looked at her sideways as they walked. Thankfully she wasn't wearing her heels that echoed in the halls. She shook her head once more in exasperation, "Next to Hermione Granger and Luna Lovegood, Caleb Hunt is the most harmless person in this entire castle. He couldn't even hurt a beetle in Potions Class!" Turning down to the end of the hallway, they neared the Slytherin Common Room. "I know you wouldn't lie about this, but I really think you're mistaken. Maybe it was something else completely unrelated to anything," she tried to reason.

Serene realized that she might be coming off as too anxious, following Eileen even though she hadn't been invited, but she couldn't help it, "Listen Eileen, all things put aside, I want to find Shawn. You look like you're on to something and I'm willing to help you in any way that I can if it means that I can see him." And then afterward I'm going to kill you the way that you tried to kill me, She thought to herself. She knew that she wouldn't actually end up killing Eileen, but it just....made her feel a little better, like she was in control of her life. She continued to walk with her, remaining silent.
Then she slowly opened her mouth, "I want in. I need to-" She took a breath, "I need to know what happened that night, Eileen."

Reaching the end of the hallway, she stopped. Just beyond those grand doors in front of her was the Slytherin common room and perhaps the person, or people, she was looking for was right in there. Turning to Serene, she shrugged. "I don't know what happened that night Serene," she said, "Draco said he was going to pick up supplies and about five minutes after he left I just.... moved away from my body. Like my soul was floating above myself and I couldn't control my body at all, I was locked inside my own mind. And then as soon as Shawn left my body attacked you. I tried to stop it, but I can no control over myself."

Serene stopped in her tracks and looked at Eileen, "I...I just don't understand how something like this could happen...I mean...it seems so....We're going to have to find out eventually." She wasn't sure if Eileen was trying to tell her not to follow her by stopping right before their destination, "So....does this mean that you'll be accepting my offer of...help? Or denying it...because either way I'm going to find Shawn. It just depends on if we want to combine forces or what." She muttered and crossed her arms.

Eileen thought about it for a moment as she left her hand on the door knob. Then nodding her head, she pushed it open. "I'd like your help," she said as she turned to the door and entered the Slytherin Common Room. It was cold and dark, almost lifeless. "Why is it so dark in here?" she said pulling out her wand. Then pointing it to the fireplace, she shot three bolts to light the logs on fire.

Serene smiled for just a moment and then followed in after her, "It was always like this...I dunno, something dangerous and mysterious about the entire common room being in the dark. Suits my mood just fine...It adds to the mystery and allure of the Slytherin clan." She raised and eyebrow and then scanned the room, "That or someone is snogging in the back of the room and they'd rather not be disturbed." She didnt see anyone upon first glance and then looked at Eileen.
"So now we....wait?" She furrowed her brow and was tempted to plop down on one of the couches and lounge like she used to.
