Who: Alfie and Ellie Cattermole
When: This morning
Where: 6th year Hufflepuff boys dorm
What: Ellie's gotten tired of waiting and pounces on her twin for information and twin bonding time!
Rating: G - PG, really low.
Open/Closed: Closed

Ellie tried to be good and wait for Alfie to come talk to her, she really did. He'd said he wanted to talk to her after their first double Hogsmeade weekend, but them nothing had come of it. She'd waited though and her patience had grown thin. She'd already ambushed Audrey into talking when she'd gotten tired of waiting, but she always had more patience for Alfie, her twin. After all siblings could always wait for the others to come to them with problems and for twins she felt that was even more so. But Ellie had limited patience and finally it had snapped.

As it stood she probably would have already ambushed Alfie in her own special way, but she thought it would be easier to wait until the holiday break. What she hadn't expected was to be stuck at Hogwarts over the break, but her plan was easily adjusted. After all Hogwarts only kept the boys out of the girls dorm, not the other way around. So now a couple days into break she was ready to force the issue of them having a chat.

The only problem with her plan was that she didn't want to get up early. It was the holiday and she didn't have class. She wasn't required to be out of bed at a certain time and she liked just lounging. But she set an alarm for herself to be up earlier then she would be normally during the holidays and at least ran a brush through her hair. She didn't bother dressing though as basically everyone in Hufflepuff had seen her in her pajamas before and she wanted to be comfy for this chat. And if Alfie got to be in his pajamas for it then she got to be in hers.

It didn't take long for Ellie to get to the correct boys dorm and she eased the door open, grinning when she saw the hangings open and Alfie snuggled in his bed. Perfect. This was just how she wanted to find him and she grinned in anticipation. Quietly she made her way to the bed, careful to avoid anything that would make noise. She eased herself up onto it, feeling the bed dip just slightly as she made her way closer to Alfie. Her head tilted to the side as she surveyed him, noticing how peaceful he looked asleep, before she started bouncing on the bed.

"Wakey wakey, Alfiebug! Time to chat with your most favorite sister ever!"

Alfie pulled his knees up eventually as she answered, so he must have been truly awake and resigned to it now. He was wearing older pyjamas, with little brooms all over them, and they were about four inches too short in the legs.

"Okay," he said shrugging and then wrapping his arms around his knees. "Thanks, yeah, I guess that would help. I'll write her later today I guess."

Ellie didn't like the fact that Alfie looked so vulnerable and upset like that. She wasn't trying to make him feel bad. She'd came into his room in a good mood and it was decidedly going down quickly. So, being her normal self, Ellie quickly leaned close to Alfie and put her arms around him in a hug.

"You need some new bottoms, Alfie," Ellie said, trying to lighten the mood. She pulled back from the hug and poked what little bit was showing of his leg.

	Alfie hugged her back. He was okay by the time she pulled away, and he rolled his eyes, shrugging. "Well, I was naked most of the night because it was so warm in here, so you're lucky you caught me with them on." Which wasn't true at all, but he felt like he should probably lighten the mood.

"Oh ew, Alfie," Ellie replied, crinkling her nose at him. She was pretty sure he was joking, but still. They may have been twins and she might have considered him her best friend, but she certainly did not want to see him naked. She hadn't seen that since they were really young and had to share their bathtime together and she wanted to keep it that way. "So... Do I get to know why you and Aud split or did you just come to some sort of stunning self relization and broke it off with her?" She'd tried waiting, but now she was going for the direct approach.

	"I guess, if you really want to hear about it..." Alfie looked at her curiously, then laughed - his grin a little mischievous. "What sort of bit stunning sort of thing do you think I would have come to, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If she really wanted to hear about it? Of course she wanted to hear about it! They were both her friends and she wanted to know why they weren't together any more rather then letting her mind run away with why. "I don't know. Maybe that you fancied blokes more? Or that you just can't go on without Dorny." Her words were kept teasing and mockingly dramatic as she grinned at Alfie.

	Alfie didn't grin back, though, not at that last bit instead. He squirmed uncomfortably and looked around the room as if to be sure that they were still alone, and he was flushed suddenly, and staring at his knees when he looked back. "It's that obvious, yeah?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Uh-oh... Had she unintentionally gotten it right? She'd believed that it was something like that, but she didn't expect this sort of answer. So she scooted over closer to Alfie and turned so that they were side by side and she could wrap an arm loosely around him. "I wouldn't say that. I think it is more just because I've talked to you both and I came up with my own ideas. But he makes you happy, yeah?"

	That brought a brighter blush, but Alfie felt himself smiling despite himself. "Yeah," he said quietly, then he groaned and let his head fall back against the headboard of his bed. "You think mum and dad are going to kill me when they find out? You won't tell them, will you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ellie gave a happy little squeal before she calmed herself down. After all she'd done more then enough squealing here recently. She was happy for her brother though. "I don't think they'll kill you. They love you and I think they just want us to be happy no matter what. And of course I won't tell them! This is for you to tell when you want to." She paused and grinned at him. "Though I'm there for you when you do tell them."

"Thanks," Alfie mumbled, then snorted. "Maybe when we graduate and get places of our own. Maybe that would be the best time." Because no matter how much their parents loved him, he couldn't imagine their Dad being.... well, pleased. That his son was a giant poof.

He pushed the thought away and looked at her. "He's a really good bloke. I mean, I like him." Too much, maybe.

"Sounds like you are a bit worried to me, but I definitely won't be pushing you to tell." She really only ever felt the need to push him to tell her things, not others. But she would be there for him if he wanted her there when and if he chose to tell them.

"Hmm... I'll take your word on that." Not that she thought he was bad. "I've only had a real chat with him once and he kinda frustrated me. A lot."

	Alfie looked concerned at that, though, looking at his sister suddenly. "He did?" Because it really, really wouldn't do to have his sister not like his... well, his whatever Julien was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cattyellie 2009-12-20 03:45 am UTC (link)
	"Yes! He was just so frustrating!" She huffed and pouted at him, crossing her arms over her chest though she wasn't actually annoyed. "But that was when you were both blaming yourselves for kissing and so I was just going in a big circle with him. I'm sure he's easier to put up with when he isn't doing that." And she was pretty sure she worded that poorly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alfiecat 2009-12-20 03:49 am UTC (link)
	Alfie blushed again, this time sharply, but laughed. "Oh. Yeah. Yeah... we sort of figured that out, how wrong we were being." And they'd done a lot more than kissing since, but that was definitely not something you told your sister about, twin or not. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ellie grinned happily, pleased that Alfie seemed so happy about it. "Your blushing again, Alfie. I'm thinking you definitely like him more then I thought you did." That was enough for her not to be overly annoyed at him breaking up with Audrey so soon. She'd just have to find some way to cheer Audrey up. Maybe she'd see about getting her some Weird Sister stuff like she got the other day...

	Saying that he was blushing made him blush more, and he shrugged sheepishly. "We've... we've figured some stuff out, you know?" Which didn't really explain anything. Alfie thought it was probably better that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cattyellie 2009-12-21 04:17 pm UTC (link)
	She giggled amusedly. She was definitely going to remember this for a while. It wasn't often she got to see Alfie blushing where he still seemed happy and not annoyed or overly embarrassed. "I bet you did. You can keep that to yourself though. It is good you did when you did because I was getting ready to lock you two in somewhere together or something."

	Alfie blushed again, but now that she was giggling about it it didn't seem so horrible to tease, and he shrugged and said, "Yeah. That's actually what we did to get over it, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cattyellie 2010-01-10 05:18 am UTC (link)
	She blinked at him and tilted her head to the side, considering what he'd said. "You... locked each other in a room together?" She wasn't even exactly certain how that would work. Had Alfie done it and disarmed Dorny or had it been the other way around? (Reply to this) (Parent)
