Elena rolled her eyes at the response of her brother in his journal, before slamming it shut rather violently, earning a few raised brows from the girls nearby. Elena ignored them, shoving her journal into her bag, before hurrying up the stairs. "Uh- you can't-"

But Elena already had her hand on the doorknob. "Cover your bits!" she shouted in warning, before flinging open the door. Ben was, of course, still in bed. He looked like absolute shit, as she had expected, and he was still wearing sweats- not his uniform like she had told him.

"Get up." She said firmly, yanking his covers off of him. "You're going to class."

"Ben-ny," she whined, voice rising into that whiny octave girls have. "You'll ruin my entire day if you don't go." It was a lie, of course, but he knew as well as she did he needed to go to class. Seriously, the bloke needed all the help he could get.

"That's not what's wrong," she said matter-of-factly. "Because I already know you've been drunk, and that's nothing new. Although Evan being mad at you is. He's always so sweet to me..." She trailed off. "But really, Ben, you can tell me. You know you can tell me anything, right?"

Ben raised an eyebrow at his sister. "You're lying." He stayed. "If me going to class makes your day, you have a pretty sad life." He would have added that she should go and bother her boyfriend, but he felt that that would be mean. And although right now he wanted to toss Elena right out on her sear, it still meant a lot to him that she was in his life.

Ben's eyes shot open and he glared at her when she said that Evan was sweet to her. "He's not mad at me, he's pissed because his brother takes it IP the arse." He didn't care if they wanted to keep it a secret, it was bound to get out sooner or later. And this was Elena, he told her everything. Well...almost everything. She kept pressing the matter, and he knew that if she found out who it really was that he had been spending time with she was going to be furious. "It's just.." he said, sighing, "it's just all this...shite. What happened with...them," he said, talking about his parents, "and you.. And.." he trailed off.

Elena smiled weakly. "Then I guess I have a pretty sad life." She quickly forced her smile to broaden considerably. "But you can make it all better by being responsible!" She looked at him with big brown eyes. "Pleeease?"

Elena was caught off guard. "You know? How did y-" Her eyes widened. "Oh, Adam's coming clean. Wow." She hoped it wasn't going to piss anyone off that she found out before most. Oh well.

"Benjy, that's over," she said softly. "I stayed with the Woods, and it was... nice. Their dad is... well, not ours, I guess." She let out a small laugh. "I missed you, though. It's not the same, not having you bugging me all the time." She ruffled his already mussed hair.

"What was the 'and', though?"

Ben just groaned simply. He wasn't going. She was making this difficult, but he wasn't going. "I'm sorry, El. I'm not going."

"Yeah," he muttered, his eyes still closed and his hand on his forehead. "I guess Adam...told Evan. Evan is pissed, but he wont stop being a little shite." He left out exactly why, since he couldn't very well explain to his sister that his friend had pissed him off when talking about Elena and the girl he fancied.

The girl he fancied.

That was an entirely different issue, and he couldn't tell Elena. Not only would she tease him, but she would pry. And she would pry, and want to know who she was. And when he told her who she was, she was going to freak out.

Ben laughed loudly, just one, short, loud luahg, when she said that Oliver Wood was not like their dad. "Oh, that's saying a lot," he said, swatting blindly at her hand that was messing his hair up. "I think bloody Voldemort would have been better than our dad." Arsehole.

Ben opened one eye and peered at her. "The and.." he started slowly, "is.." He sighed, falling back, his hands going to his eyes again. "A lot of shite, El. I spent the last...seventeen years of my life not giving a shite about anything, and the last bloody year at this school, and suddenly... I care."

"He's probably just upset," she said with a small smile. "People do stupid things when they're in a bad state." She glanced at him with a knowing look. Ben wouldn't know anything about that. No, not at all. "He's going through some pretty rough stuff. He's a lot more... serious about the blood thing than we are."

She giggled. It was nice, hearing him laugh like that. Everything seemed so serious lately that it was just... good to let go a bit now and then. "Yeah, yeah. Well, you might... you know, ease up on Jacob a bit, by the way. He's very sweet, really. He's a good guy, Ben." And, quite frankly, Elena had never been as happy as she had been since they'd started dating.

"No, you've spent the past seventeen years pretending not to give a shite about anything," she said with a small smile. "So... what's come along to make you realize you're human, hm? Is it the girl you were talking about this summer?"

Ben ignored her first comment about people doing stupid things; he wasn't about to fall into that trap she had just set and admit that. he knew damn well that he did stupid things for no reason. He was proof right there, having gotten pissed drunk and nearly caught the night before just because he was upset. "You're telling me," he said about Evan being serious about the blood status, "he told me that I was," he held up his two fingers two form quotes, eyes still shut, "running away from my responsibilities." He let his hands drop to the bed. "Bullshite."

It certainly felt good to laugh, even if it was a bit more sarcastic. His face grew serious when she said to ease up on Jacob, raising an eyebrow, his eyes opened now. "I should be having a talk with him soon," he said--as if Ben were really responsible. But he was when it came to Elena. Especially since she was disowned now..who was going to take care of her now? He was, that was for certain, even if he could barely take care of himself.

He sighed heavily. She remembered the girl from the summer. "I dont know, Elena," he replied simply. "I've never.." he didn't want to say 'he never felt this way', because it seemed overdramtatic and cliche, and Ben was anything but. "I don't know why, she's just.." Different. Complicated. Innocent. Beautiful. "She's definitely not like any of the stupid girls I usually talk to. And normally..I wouldn't even talk to her."

She chuckled. "Ben, like I said, he's pissed off. He feels like his brother's abandoned him, I'll bet. Poor bloke. At least Adam had the sense to tell him before he found out from someone else. That'd be awful."

Elena frowned at him as he started up about Jacob. "No, you shouldn't, not unless you're going to thank him for standing up for me at the wedding or letting me stay with him over the summer when I had nowhere else to go." She crossed her arms over her chest.

A huge grin took over Elena's features. Her brother actually had a genuine crush on someone. She hadn't seen Ben actually consider dating a girl past more than trying to get a shag out of her since... well, ever. "Why? Because she's bookish? Isn't that what you were saying?" She hesitated. "Wait! Is she the one who got you to read that book over the break?"

He felt his stomach do a mini-flip. Was this the same thing, him hiding Isabella from his sister? Would she be even angrier if she found out from someone else? He wasn't even sure how she was going to react to this.

Ben didn't exactly want to thank Jacob Wood for anything. He didn't like him. But deep down (very, very deep down) he had to admit that Jacob was a good guy. And if Elena loved him..Elena had really good judgement. And what made Elena happy meant a lot to Ben, even if he didn't want to admit it. He just wasn't about to get all buddy buddy with the Gryffindor Quidditch captain and become best friends with him. "Whatever. I still want to talk to him."

When that huge grin crossed her features, Ben rolled his eyes. Figures, she'd find that highly amusing. Such a girl. "Because she's..basically everything opposite of the normal girls I talk to?" Shag, snog, whatever. His eyes widened then. "How did you know I was reading a book?" He had tried to keep that so secretive.

"You're not nearly as sneaky as you think you are," she answered, smirking. Elena almost always had a general idea of what Ben was up to, though it became more difficult when they were in school and weren't around each other quite as much as at home when they had to entertain one another. She had been shocked, of course, to find him actually reading something, but she wasn't about to say anything for fear that he'd be embarrassed and stop. Ben was ridiculous like that.

"Well, maybe that's why you actually like her, you know? Because she's not what you're used to, which means... you don't just look at her as another snog. That's a good thing, Ben." She grinned. "And if she got you to read something, you must really like her, hm?"

"And you're far too sneaky for me." Ben was too lazy to be sneaky. Sure, he had laid on his bed in his room reading a book. Not exactly hiding it. But he had thought he had gotten away with it since Elena hadn't said anything; until then, of course. He had put it away when his brothers and parents were around. "I just skimmed it," he rationalized, "I didn't actually read it." Of course, he had picked up on the fact that the main character had reminded him of Isabella, but he definitely wasn't going to admit that to her.

Ben shrugged, closing his eyes again. "This is the point I was making, Elena. I just don't know. I don't know what it is about it, I don't know why, but I...do." Whatever it was, liked, fancied, thought about her, cared about her. He did. "And I don't know why I did it. I just did." He really didn't know why he did a lot of things.

"Sure," she agreed, smirking. "Of course, Ben." She was a sneaky little bugger when she wanted to be, he was right about that much. But she tended not to do too much snooping, only when Ben was doing something she found particularly interesting. Was it odd that she found the fact that he was reading fascintaing? Probably. It certainly said something about her brother.

"So, I'm guessing you're not going to tell me who she is..." She trailed off, before sighing. "Well, I imagine I'll find out eventually. Have you been talking to her?" She had a feeling her brother wasn't doing as well as he usually did with women, you know, since this one was sober and all. "Does she know you like her?"

It's not that he would exactly blame his sister for being curious as to why he was reading a book. Over the summer, no less. He hadn't read a book since he had started school, not when he was getting detention or being forced to.

Ben smirked. "I'm guessing that's killing you, though," he replied. Oh, she probably would find out.. He should tell her, but he almost didn't want to. At the same time, though...he almost did. "She doesn't know anything," he replied. "I don't remember what I said to her yesterday when she found me..drunk. I think she's the one that brought me back here.." He rubbed his head, remembering the fall and the hit on the head with a throbbing pain. "The last time I coherently spoke to her, though..I was yelling." He felt a pang of guilt. He still felt really bad about that. "And I think I made her cry," he continued, his words mumbled.

"You yelled at her?!" she exclaimed, eyes wide. "Ben! Why would you do that?! And you made her cry?! How can you possibly expect to win a girl over if you're making her miserable? What did you do?" It wasn't entirely unusual for Ben to leave girls upset, but this one was supposed to be different.

Ben's eyes popped open wide when Elena exclaimed. He hadn't expected that reaction. "Why do you always assume I did something!" he protested. "I was angry, it wasn't even directed at her, really.. I got mad at her because she lied to me. And it just wasn't a good day."

"She lied to you? About what?" Elena demanded. It was obvious she still wasn't pleased with the notion of him making the girl cry, but she appeared at least somewhat willing to hear his side of things. "A bad day isn't an excuse to make someone cry." Their parents had made Elena cry a number of times because they took out their frustrations with life and each other on their children.

Ben grimaced. She was going to make him tell her, wasn't she? "I knew she was hiding something. I just didn't realize it was who she was I had to find out from someone else." Evan, of all people. "You know I get cranky when I get upset. I couldn't help it." He shrugged. "I don't know why I felt bad, though. I never feel bad."

Elena's brows shot up. "Wait, what? Who is she?" She must have been someone Ben wasn't expecting to have gotten him so upset, maybe someone he wasn't entirely comfortable with her being. Elena's head was working over time trying to make her way through the long list of people Ben would prefer not to date.

"You felt bad because you care about her, just like you feel bad when you make me upset, and I feel bad when I piss you off. Sometimes." She smiled and gave him another gentle nudge.

Ben kept quiet and his eyes closed for a few moments after she asked. Should he tell her? Should he tell her and see what her reaction was, or keep it from her and risk her finding out and getting angry? Finally, he opened his mouth. "She's a Weasley." That was vauge enough, there was about a billion of them.

"A Weasley?!" Well, she hadn't seen that coming, though with how many there were around school these days it probably shouldn't have been so surprising. "Wait, which one? There's... loads."

Ben grumbled. Of course. He rolled over on his side, away from her. "Doesn't matter."

That sent up a definite red flag. "Ben..." she said hesitantly, gently tugging on his shoulder to get him to roll back over to look at her. "Who is she?" The only Weasley she had serious issues with was Kaida, and she... had a boyfriend, right? Ben wasn't involved in some sort of ridiculous affair, right? Right?!

Ben sighed. "Isabella," he finally said, as if it were like pulling teeth. He wondered if she would figure out that it was Kaida's sister. "A Ravenclaw."

"Oh." Well, it could have been worse. Isabella Weasley was a sweet little thing, but her sister was, well, a bit of a cunt, if you asked Elena. She had bloody well attacked her in the middle of a quidditch match, and Elena didn't plan on forgiving her any time soon, not that she expected any different from Kaida.

"Well that's... complicated," she said slowly. She looked over at her brother. "I'm sure you... know who her sister is." She cleared her throat, clearly uncomfortable. "And that she hates me.... and you." She scratched the back of her neck. "Uh, Ben. I mean, do you think Kaida will, you know, let her?"

Ben opened his eyes, staring out the side of his bed, hearing her reaction. She wasn't smacking him. Or screaming. She didn't sound mad or upset, though, but he waited it out. Apparently she had figured out who she was.

"Yes," he replied, "that was why I got mad. I hadn't meant to yell at her..I was more..frustrated when I figured out who her sister was." Because he didn't want to upset Elena, and because he hated Kaida. With her last question, though, Ben slowly rolled over, a ridiculous look on his face. "I don't give a flying fuck what her sister thinks. She can go fuck herself, frankly. Who said I was going to date her, anyway?"

Elena quirked a brow at him. "Well, you know, Isabella probably cares a lot about what her sister thinks. Do you really think I would've dated Jacob if I thought you genuinely didn't want me to?" She paused and added. "For a valid reason?"

She ran her fingers through his wet hair, making it look somewhat decent. "There's nothing wrong with wanting to date someone, Ben. It doesn't... I don't know... change who you are or something because you actually give two shits about someone."
