September 28, 2020 - Avoidance?
Who: Ben, open
Where: Great Hall
When: Shortly after dinner
Rating: PG?
Status: Open/Ongoing
Summary: Hexed

Ben had determined that the best place to get some ruddy peace and quiet following dinner was to hang about in the Great Hall once everyone else had departed. Sure, there was the library for quiet, but that meant actually attempting to look like you were reading something and not doodling in your notebook. And yes, there was the Slytherin commons as well, a place he very much planned on retreating to once he'd grown bored of his current location, but he spent a great deal of time there as it was and wasn't altogether interested in the antics of his housemates just then.

To the untrained eye, it might have appeared that young Higgins was studiously at work, poring over his studies. However, if one looked closely at the actual book he appeared to be writing furiously in, it was filled with his particular brand of art; sketches and full coloured illustrations and the like. Just now he was working on a particularly fetching piece involving a Slytherin Quidditch player standing victoriously over a Gryffindor one, a foot up on his chest and a malicious grin on the line drawing's face. He smirked as he began to add odd details here and there.

It was possible that Eline Dovers was going mad. She had lost her camera, and those who were smart would best keep away from her when she did. Even if somebody tried to help, if you don’t hand her the camera within twenty seconds she’ll flip out on you. So after searching her whole dorm and the Hufflepuff common room (both of which she left a mess that she expected others to look after) she had found herself in the Great Hall.

She dashed to the Hufflepuff table and began scanning it for any signs of her sacred camera. Her eyes zeroed in on it, just laying lazily on the table.

Well, she thought bitterly, couldn’t the house elves come take it to me? Not send me in a bloody panic. Everyone knows what my camera looks like.

Eline, much calmer now, walked over and claimed her camera, only to drop it, setting off the flash and letting out a very loud noise.

He jumped a bit, quill making a splotch where the Quaffle was meant to be, and looked up with a scowl to find the source of this particular muck up. It was bad enough with students dropping things, but it echoed in the Great Hall, amplifying the sound as if she'd slammed the camera on the table in front of him.

"Oi," he called over, "Trying to wake the dead over there?"

	He snorted; she wasn't sorry, and that wasn't even a convincing lie. Glaring at the tarnished page, he flipped it before glancing up to her, wondering if he cared if that contraption was still all right. "You tote that thing about with you everywhere?" he asked, eyeing it suspiciously. Looked like a load of rubbish to him, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eline decided to ignore his comments and picked up her bag, disliking the crunch she had heard when her camera fell. She was getting increasingly annoyed, at first the sarcasm didn't bother her--she was constantly sarcastic to just about everyone--but now it did. Maybe the counting technique would work. One... two... "Okay you're a prat." Apparently it didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eline instantly cooled. She knew this game, she had played it millions of times in his position and was determined not to lose. She hated defeat. She looked at him through narrow eyes, her voice back to its normal tone, just more condescending now. Eline met his gaze with a bored look. "Yup, feel good about it?" Eline asked, crossing her arms across her chest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, right. I'm completely crushed. Your opinion matters so much to me. I forgot all about that." Eline pushed a wayward curl behind her ear. Eline smiled, oddly enough. She enjoyed a good argument every once in a while. As long as they weren't about to go all Avada Kerdavra on each other they were good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
