Roxy heads into the entrance hall, her umbrella hooked onto the back of her collar. It was a completely lazy way to do things, but Roxy was tired. The school year was about half-over and currently Roxy was burying herself in potions projects. Last night she went to bed at about... 3AM? Maybe. Last time she looked at the clock it was 2:45 and then she did some more work and... Yeah, actually the girl had no idea when she went to bed but she did know that she was exhausted.
Roxy plops down next to Jake at the Gryffindor table with a yawn, unhooking her umbrella to put it beside her and grabbing a plate. She gets some bacon and pancakes, covers them in syrup, and by the time she's gotten a few good mouthfuls the owls have already begun to fly in. A newspaper drops on her lap and she looks down, blinking at it. Right. She signed up for that a few weeks ago... Huh. Whatever. Roxy shrugs and continues to eat.
She doesn't receive any letters, although that isn't much of a surprise to her. "Man," she mumbles to herself, "I wish we could have, like, email or somethin'..." Roxy sighs again. The troubles of being muggleborn,

Jake English had, as usual, been one of the first to plop down at the Gryffindor table, tie hanging, forgotten and undone, around his neck, though Dirk would be sure to fix that as soon as he finished mussing with his ridiculous hair and ambled on down. Jake, on the other hand, was happily digging into a short stack of french toast, doused generously in strawberry syrup, when a different blonde of his plunked themself down beside him. With a mouthful of breakfast and the fork just leaving his lips, he peered over at his newfound companion, humming his hello before he got around to swallowing, washing it down with a gulp of pumpkin juice.
Mouth finally clear, he sighed in agreement, vaguely paying mind to his own mail flopping unceremoniously into his lap. He generally wasn't one to receive personal messages, either, his parents still unaccustomed to owl delivery. "Yeah really," he mumbled as he took another bite. "I mean, I honestly wouldn't use it much for anyone else besides my mum, but still. Even now, it's still a tad strange being so immersed in so much magic and hullabaloo, you know? Might be nice to get a reminder from home now and again, besides break and all."

She shook her head, "I mean, yeah our parents of course, but I also got some friends I like t'talk to online, and I can't even talk t'em unless it's break..." Roxy sighs, shoving syrup-covered bacon into her mouth. She missed GT, honestly. He seemed kinda ditzy, but overall he was a really good friend who helped her out a bunch over the years and she felt bad that she couldn't talk to him while at school - or even tell him where she went to school.
Not to mention last time they talked, she was rushing and she doesn't actually remember giving a proper goodbye. "Which sucks 'cause I gotta friend who I can only talk to, like 4.5 months outta the year."
Roxy drowns her sorrows in cranberry juice and pancakes. Also syrup. More syrup, definitely.

"Really?" his eyebrow quirked in question. "I've got a few as well, I miss them like the devil. Especially this one lass, really funny," another bite, "You both remind me quite a bit of each other," swallow, "It's pretty uncanny!" With that thought out in the open, he paused, taking a moment to wipe at his lips with a napkin. "A lot of each other, actually. No wonder I attached myself so quickly to you, huh?" He grinned over at Roxy, elbowing her to try and urge forth a smile. "She's a muggle, though. A pity, really. I'd love sharing with her all our shenanigans, lord knows she'd get a kick out of it! Despite that, I bet both of our mates are understanding, though, right? I mean, otherwise they wouldn't be our mates!"

"No, I know what you mean, I gotta friend kinda like you... I mean, his name's Jakey, too... Which I guess is weird, but it's not like tha's an uncommon name or anythin'..." When Jake smiles at her she can't help but smile back. For multiple reasons. One being he was her friend. Also he was really cute. Also he was a dork and the list really just went on and on and on.
"But he's a muggle, too. Which sucks 'cause I wanna talk 'bout this place and magic to him, an' it's frustrating 'cause I can't..." She shrugs, "Rules are rules, though, so I ain't gonna break them. Plus he prob'ly wouldn't believe me... So, there's that as well. I mean, magic school? Owls? Wands and potions and everythin'? No way."
Pause. "But yeah, still my friend after all these years so I guess it works, even without me tellin' him 'bout magic..."

Jake froze after a moment of letting her words fully settle, goblet halfway to his mouth. "Wait, his name's...Jake? Really? That's just...that's too uncanny!" A slightly nervous chuckle slipped from him as he shook out his mess of chestnut locks. "I mean really uncanny, because, well, my friend's name is... It's Roxy." Eyes full of questions and suspicions, he glances back at her, brows furrowed. It couldn't be, right? Just a coincidence!
...A really freaky coincidence.
"You don't think...?"

Roxy actually pales slightly, which is a feat for her. "No... Noooo." She shakes her head furiously, "No, no way. I ref'se. This is NOT a thing. You ar' NOT GT an' thi'is all really jus'... Odd. Nope. Not 'ne way. No. Not ev'n a li'l."
Roxy slurs more when she's nervous and/or upset, she's told him this, both as Roxy and TG, and at the moment, this was just a lot for her to comprehend right now. To be fair, it's not like she's actually upset by the idea of Jake and GT being the same guy. Mostly it's the oddity, and the coincidence of it, and how neither of them figured this out before and Roxy is just a little overwhelmed right now. "Nope."

Now wide-eyed behind his spectacles, Jake turned quickly to face her completely, his forearm resting on the tabletop to help support him as he leaned forward in earnest. "No no, don't you see it!? GT is my username! I'm golgothasTerror!" He snorted in disbelief at the thought they'd never realized it before, clapping a hand on her shoulder. "And you're TG, right? Oh come on, Rox! Is it really that hard to believe? I mean, yeah, it's strange, and highly unlikely, but still! It's like...like our friendship was destiny or something!"

Roxy blinks a few times. Stares at him, glances to the hand on her shoulder, and blinks at Jake again. The full realization and implications of this reached her, finally, and Roxy takes a very long moment to think of all the things she's told GT.
Her very, very large amount of crushes.
Her stupid chores.
Her cat.
Her muggle school.
Her bullies.
Sometimes, really late at night when Roxy's feeling really open or upset, her insecurities.
And it was Jake. The whole time. And he now knows this and all about her and a lot more than he knew before (She'd known GT for longer, so she had more chances to talk to him and tell him things, it wasn't like she didn't trust Jake, but the opportunities never came up at the right time or place), and this was a lot at once. For reasons that she didn't completely understand, she kind of wanted to cry.
" 'oly fuckin' sh'."
Well said.
