Alfie Emma was just letting out a sigh of relief at Braeden's words. He wanted to split up! Oh happy day! He was going to leave for a while, come back just in time to meet the real Emma when they changed back. And then she could just sit back and relax! And he seemed awfully anxious to go too... She had just opened her mouth to agree to this plan, when another pair of people ran into the Entrance Hall. Theo, and herself. Alfie-Emma did a double take. It was so strange to see yourself yards away! But she quickly realized the situation...

Alfie Emma's eyes widened at the sight of them; how had Emma found Theo?! She immediately began to panic, wondering how that interaction had gone down. But before she could question this and release Braeden's hand to subtly head over to where she herself was standing (Emma), Theo was running towards her. For a moment, she gave a faint smile at the sight of him, and had nearly forgotten that she didn't look like Alfie; she was Emma. It was only as the boy called out the name 'Emma' specifically that Alfie Emma got thoroughly confused. Wait, huh? The Emma-look-a-like gave an expression similar to the one the Alfie-look-a-like made at the same time. HUH? Before she knew it, she was being lifted off her feet in a large hug, listening to how Theodore Dumble had missed Emma Malfoy so incredibly much. Alfie Emma was like a deer in headlights, her eyes as large as saucers (a very Alfie-like expression though she barely noticed at this point). WAIT! Why on earth was Theo suddenly missing Emma so much?! The girl, thoroughly confused, was only plummeted into further distress as the boy before her, who looked exactly like Theo, then leaned in for a kiss! Luckily, he seemed to back out of this plan because the Emma-look-a-like sure wasn't leaning in to meet him!

WHAT?! Since when was Theodore Dumble leaning in for kisses from Emma Malfoy?! Alfie Emma just stared up at the boy blankly, somewhere deep inside her a little Alfie-heart cracking. How often did Theo go around hugging Emma Malfoy and missing her? Had she been in a less confused state, Alfie probably would've noticed that something was up because her physical look-a-like was present too. If this was really Theo, and he really had a thing for Emma, there wasn't a chance he would express his feelings in front of both Alfie and Braeden. It just didn't make sense. But that was how a logical person would look at it, and unfortunately, Alfie wasn't thinking very logically at the moment. She was flustered from all of this switching business, and tired of trying to be Emma Malfoy, and now suddenly the boy she had affections for was trying to kiss who she considered her best friend at Hogwarts.

And so that blank face remained on what appeared to be Emma Malfoy's expression for at least thirty seconds, but was really Alfie's own emotions shown through. That was, until, Emma Alfie attempted to step in and confirm that it was indeed Emma, fumbling with the names a bit. It was then that Alfie remembered she needed to be keeping up an act and so she quickly wiped off the distressed expression and stood up a little taller. "Uh...I've missed you too, Theo," she muttered, the only response she could think of. She tried to look a bit weirded out though, as was to be expected from that kind of unexpected hug, and scooted a little closer to Brae for effect.
