Rating: Ball PG-13

After giving Cutter up to his real date, Melanie had drifted happily around the Great Hall, catching herself up in conversations and occasionally dancing with someone - quite often a boy from the younger years, just to be nice. She felt all pretty and done up in her dress, a far cry from the practical and slightly tomboyish get up she usually spent her time in when she was out of uniform, and with the mood of the dance she was feeling floaty and giddy.

Thirsty, she went to the punch table to have a quick drink before looking around to find someone else to talk to, or dance with. Standing nearby was Donny, and she flushed a little, ducking her head a bit to hide the smile that appeared almost without her consent. Despite them being in the same House and Donny only being a year older, she wasn't really sure what he thought of her. Probably that she was silly and naive, like everyone. Still, she wanted to approach him and open conversation, and at the same time turn and run away, and she stood frozen for a moment, anxiety churning in her stomach. What if she sounded completely stupid?

Who: Emily and Open
Where: Halls
Rating: PG-13


Emily frowned at the fairies buzzing around the tips of her hair. The things were making a horrible mess. They apparently thought the artfully disheveled mass of her hair was a wonderful playground and had been chasing each other in and out of it for ten minutes. Yelling did nothing. Swatting them away was useless. She couldn't bring herself to actually hurt the little buggers, so she'd fled the common room in frustration. Unfortunately, they'd tagged along.

She came upon a strangle little puddle in the middle of the hallway. Water Dragons were playing inside. The creatures weren't particularly large, but they didn't look as friendly as the gnomes. The fairies darted out of her hair to chatter at the creatures, which didn't look amused.

"Oh, no you don't. Bob. Todd. I'm ashamed of you. Play nice!"

She turned on her heels and walked away, swirling the tips of her hair frantically to gather the fairies attention. When someone came around the corner and caught her doing just that she pulled a face and flashed a smile.

"Don't you dare mock me. I'm saving lives here!"

Who: Emily and Ophelia
Where: Down by the Lake
When: Tuesday Afternoon
Rating: Pg-13


Emily was wandering toward the lake, looking for Ophelia. She couldn't remember ever speaking to the girl before, not in real life or beyond a few words in classes. She was, in fact, the kind of girl that Emily would usually avoid like the plague. She seemed uptight, no fun and so tense the stick up her ass was broken in two.

But she was sure that her goofy playfulness wasn't what Ophelia usually looked for in a friend either. The girl did need a friend though, that much was obvious, and Ophelia had been down right pleasant during their memory loss situation. It was strange, but Emily wanted to make sure the girl was all right. Anyway, it's not like she had a lot else to do.

Spotting Ophelia, she made her way over to the girl. There was a general sense of depression and gloom about her, but given the circumstances Emily couldn't judge her for that.

"Hey, Ophelia." She flashed the girl a warm smile and pointed to herself. "Emily."

Who: Dominic and Open
Where: Quidditch Pitch
When: Wednesday Afternoon
Why: Working off some stress


Dominic flung his broom aside and set off at a quick jog. Even flying wasn't doing a passable job at working off the frustrated tension tightening his muscles. He needed the burn of exhausted muscles and trembling limbs.

Honestly, what he needed was a fight or a good shag. Alex was driving him freaken crazy, and not in a good way. He wanted to get his hands around her neck and just shake some sense into the bird. Every time he thought they were on the right track she had to bugger it up. How anyone could get through life as obsessed with what other people thought of them as she was, he had no idea. To his mind, it was weak and pathetic. She was better than that, or he'd thought she was. Now, he was just frustrated and pissed.

After half an hour, he was both satisfied and annoyed with his work out. His body was tingling, alive and well used in a way that he loved, but his mind kept going back to the situation with Alex. What he truly needed was something, anything, to take his mind off himself. He felt raw and needy in a way that he hated, but when he caught motion out of the corner of his eye he looked toward the new arrival, desperate for a distraction.

Who: Victoire and East
Where: Party
When: Friday night after the games
What: East will talk to anyone especially pretty Head Girls
Rating: PG-13

East was not the most drunk person at the party, a fact that he was actually okay with. Being so intoxicated that he had memory loss, threw up and passed out was not exactly his idea of a good time, nor was the debilitating hangover the following morning - he had very little desire to waste the entire weekend moaning in pain and hiding from bright lights. Still, the room did spin a little as he moved around, spotting Victoire playing the pretty wallflower. He wasn't entirely sure why he was so fascinated with her lately, but she wasn't exactly the goody-good type that usually made Head, or came to parties like this for that matter. "Need cooling down?" he asked as he reached her, leaning against the wall next to her.
