And she might as well has been talking to the Fat Friar all this time because he didn't seem to hear or acknowledge a word she was saying.
Bad boy? She was here because Vickers' attitude attracted her? "
I am?" she asked, genuinely confused. But it wasn't why she was here, no. Like she wouldn't come to the Huffie table to the Huffie fraud to express the-- waaaaaaaaait a second. She caught up to Elijah's "play". Her cheeks quickly gained their red shade color as she dropped her head, scowling at ELijah from under her eyelashes, and crossed her arms nervously. What in Merlin's FILTHY shoes was he doing!?! She wanted to look at Vickers, see his face and study his reaction to every word his FRIEND was saying, but she didn't. Simply because she didn't want him to see how much her face was burning... it was times like these when she hoped that her hair hid--
Aaaaaaaand her neck was squashed in a hug.
O_O
Louisa squirmed and pushed Elijah away, almost stomping on his foot but Vickers dragged him to the side... was he strangling him? She looked with concern at the two of them when she heard the clapping...
SHE'S HERE.
The seventeen years old just looked at the smiiiiiiiiiling and clapping Odessa. Was that... a genuine smile? Was she amused? Is she planning something? Was this an olive branch extended toward the Head Girl? Scoff, no way. The last thing Odessa would do was get intimidated by badges or titles, she had her own officials in her head.
Louisa pouted and averted her gaze away from the girl back to the boys. Yet another riddle presented itself; Why was Vickers mad exactly? She could name a couple of reasons, some she would like to mention, others... not so much. He could be mad that 1) Elijah made a joke of their bond, whatever it was. 2) Elijah made a big deal out of nothing, technically, forcing Vickers to take a solid
bold? move in her direction. 3) Vickers had to actually voice his refusal to something he wasn't even considering, since as far as Louisa knew he didn't mention anything about going out on a date with her after what happened. 4) Elijah doing exactly what Vickers wanted to do but at the wrong time. THAT, now that last reason was Louisa's favorite and if she ever prayed, it'd be for it to be that reason.
As for her, she was mad because Elijah DID put them in a horribly awkward situation, and in one way he rushed the procrastinated discussiong of certain...things.
SIIIIIIIIGH. She approached the boys again, seeing Vickers had taken a glance in her direction, and gently – gingerly even – she put a hand on his arm, "
It's okay, Vickers. Everybody knows he just jokes around…" She wanted to go on, tell him that it meant nothing and they still had to talk but she didn't want it to mean nothing. D: So she just halted there and moved her glare toward the said Joker, "
And you!" Eyes squinting. "
That was not funny! Nor theatrical!" She STOMPED on his foot, pushed her nose up in the air and spun on her heels walking back to her table, ignoring anyone still clapping or smiling at the announcement.
HUFFIES.

The wonderful sound of someone's left palm assaulting the right! Elijah turned to the sound, ready to give whoever it was a huge smile as thanks. When he saw it was Aspen, however, his smiled wavered slightly. But, she seemed genuinely happy, so Elijah should too... that was until she began licking her teeth.
*shudder*
His hand subconsciously caressed the spot where Aspen had sunk in her stupid VAMPIRE teeth. He made note to go see the Healer to see if he had contracted something since, if the Aparecium was to believed, there was a high chance he probably had.
Elijah's worry of catching the Odessa Infection was short lived as his friend dug his finger into his neck and dragged him off to the side. "Woahwoahwoahwoah," he protested, frantically. He couldn't understand WHY Vickers was acting like this!? Elijah had just bagged him a date AND got them out of being given into trouble further. The 'Claw seemed livid, though.
"For laughs...?" Elijah repeated, shocked that that was how this whole thing had been interpreted. "This was not for laughs, Vee! I told you during the summer that I was going to get you someone! And Louisa's perfect! She's like the male version of you," he said, taking a small glance back at the Head Girl and then turning his attention back to his friend, "And what do you mean I have no idea what I just did? I just did a GOOD thing. If you two have some weird, crazy past then it is YOUR," Elijah poked the boy's chest at this point, "fault for not keeping me up to date with these things!"
HMPH. Joke, indeed! Elijah thought he had been helpful.
It was then that Louisa came over talking, AGAIN, about how he had been joking and how it had not been funny and Elijah was about to protest to HER about it not being intended to be a joke but an ACTUAL genuine suggestion when She. Stomped. On. His. FOOT.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
Elijah screamed, grabbing his foot and trying to hug it to his chest as tightly as possible whilst hopping around the Hufflepuff table trying to keep his balance. "WHAT. ON. MERLIN'S. EARTH." Was THIS what he got for HELPING people!? He turned to Vickers as if to say, 'what are you going to do about this!?' because as far as ELIJAH was concerned, this was all VICKERS' fault.
He was just about to launch into a tirade about why he thinks Elijah
did do it for laughs when he got distracted by....
Louisa being a male version of him.
That sooooo did not help with the mental images... SPECIALLY when he has these images of Louisa over the summer... but with his head transposed over her neck. Yeah scary.
Shakes head. Don't get distracted!
"I....I had a bit of luck on my own thanks." he muttered, calmer now although it was clear he was still seething. That wasnt an ungrateful statement to his buddy, but he just didnt know how to respond without PARADING the entire event of the previous month...
....And then there was that stab of guilt
'his fault for not keeping him up to date with these things'. Yeah he
would've clued Elijah in on this, except Vickers was struggling to come to terms with things on his own. Still is. And he would have to admit, he WAS a little selfish about wanting to keep that secret to himself for as long as he could. It was special see? And he just wasnt that kind of guy that would go brandishing a special moment around like some kind of trophy.
"Aww-alright. If you must know--" he started but felt a gentle hand on his arm. His head turned sharply to see Louisa beside him. She was looking at him, and whatever extreme annoyance he had earlier seems to be dissipating rather quickly. He presses his lips together to take some nice, deep, calming breaths when.....
.... Louisa stomped on Elijah's foot.
For a few seconds he watches Louisa stalk off back towards their table with Elijah hopping around like a Mexican jumping bean. Yeahhhh he should've seen that coming. Or maybe Elijah should have. He turns with a start when Elijah's howling finally snaps him out of his reverie. He braces his buddy by the arm and sets him back onto the Hufflepuff seats
"Be thankful its just your foot." he mumbled. No really, be glad, because Louisa could've swung any of her limbs against something else.
"Its not broken is it?" he asks, slightly worried. He wasnt so much worried that it was broken-- moreso that Elijah would have to seek Healer help and really the Curly One was better off not to tussle with her. Unless he wants to. Whatever.
"We're.... gonna have to talk." he mumbles to the Elijah as he straightens up.
"You do deserve some kind of explanation." he added, specially with all the
help he had just given them.
"But NOT HERE." Not where everybody can hear or pretend not to hear. Strictly VanderWilde business only capisce?
"I gotta get back... get out... get.... going." its been a looooooong night for him.
"You'll hear from me." he said as he clapped his buddy by the arm, a hope-you-didnt-take-my-nearly-strangling-you-by-the-neck-personally gesture. He took one last look at the Ravenclaw table-- Louisa was likely doing her Head Girl duties or something-- before he turned around and dragged his weary self out of the Great Hall.
