She thought she had done the right thing, protecting Cora from having to talk about personal things again, but... There. She saw it. The girl, Elliot, didn't believe her. Well, she wasn't going to ditch her story now, unless Cora wanted to come clean for the both of them. The story wasn't really hurting anyone so she looked right back at the older girl and went on.

"Well I don't think it was the bumping so much as the stabbing from my hair that made her eyes water." She tilted her head slightly and smiled at the girl. She didn't want any problems with her. In fact she was curious to get to know Cora's other friends. She held out her hand and said, "It's nice to meet you. I've seen you in some other classes." Please Cora, talk about something to make this less awkward! she pleaded inside. Maybe if I think reallllly hard she'll hear me. Maybe? "Do you have a favorite yet?" She glanced back to Ethan, "Either of you?"

Eyes narrowing slightly as he listened to Eliza's explanation, the fifth year wasn't quick to believe her story. Not that it sounded far-fetched, really... it was more something in her tone or manner of speaking that gave the boy pause. And, to be honest, he wouldn't have given it another thought if it was only watery eyes from a minor accident... which it seemed that it wasn't... but why cover it up? Something else must be going on and he eyed the younger girl suspiciously.

Ethan glanced to Elliot as the girl repeated the younger's story. Yeah... she wasn't buying it either. He shot Elliot a smirk as she attempted to expose the young girl's lie... in her own, intimidating way. But he certainly didn't blame her... he did not like being lied to.

He looked once again at Cora, waiting to hear her side of it. "Is that what happened?" he asked, his expression softening considerably. If she confirmed Eliza's story - not that he would believe it - he would drop it... for now. That would only mean it was actually something she was not comfortable discussing.

Cora smiled as she noticed Ethan so glad to see her. So they just met, Cora thought. That should have been clear, since what looked like an argument earlier was surely not one between friends, at least for now. Ethan seemed surprised that she was friends with Elliot, which Cora could understand. They were just so opposite. But Cora saw the best in others, and saw what was beneath Elliot. She had wanted to say all this, yet was still recovering, so she managed only, "Yes, we met before our first year at Diagon Alley." Cora was so terrified of Hogwarts back then.

Cora froze up as she realized Ethan noticed she was sad. Guess she didn't fool anyone. She did NOT want this to be about her and her problems. She did think it was sweet of him to care, but no words left Cora.

Maybe you just don't use it often. Cora pondered what this could mean, but would not bring it up now.

She stared at Ethan, not sure of what to say. She did not want to bring up the story again so soon, it had happened long ago and Cora should be over it right now. What was Eliza doing?!! Cora tensed a bit, and then took a deep breath. Eliza was covering up for her.

Would Elliot and Ethan believe this? Cora was doubtful. Not to mention the WORST liar in history. Cora knew she should back up this story, and hesitated nervously at first. With a desperate and relieved look to Eliza, Cora smiled slightly. Then, pushing her brown curls from her face, she nodded in agreement with Eliza. Cora wanted to reassure her friends, but there was NO WAY they would believe her. Was there? No. Cora promised to explain this all eventually, with whoever asked. Her father was not a light subject, and Cora hated ruining the mood. Of course, if they pushed, Cora was not one to refuse.

Cora always got the feeling that Elliot saw through everything. She was Cora's closest friend, only one of two from first year. She couldn't just lie to her, could she? Cora supposed that if Elliot could tell what Cora was thinking then it wouldn't really be a lie, after all.

Cora was relieved that Elliot was being nice to Eliza (for now). She didn't quite expect that. Elliot's skeptical smirk told Cora she DEFINITELY knew something was up. Cora decided to play along until she was called out on it, so as her cheeks grew redder, she repeated. "Yes, we bumped heads. And um, there aren't any bumps because well, it just happened. Probably will show up soon." Cora said casually. She actually thought she sounded convincing, although she secretly hoped Eliza had gone for something more fail-proof. She was relieved that her face was drying up now, and hoped her eyes didn't show any signs of redness.

Cora could sense Eliza feeling uncomfortable, and knew she should be speaking up more. She had been silent for too long, and that would definitely go noticed. Not like Cora was so outspoken to begin with, but she was responsible for contributing every now and again.

Oh no. Ethan was definitely not buying the story. Cora sighed inside. She had to break her silence at some point, and took a deep breath. When Ethan turned back to her, his soft voice made Cora feel so guilty.

Her eyes locked with his, and she knew she just could NOT lie to Ethan. Or Elliot. She would feel bad about it. Elliot's words "too nice" echoed in her head, but Cora figured for her friends it was different. She considered things for a moment, and then heard, "is that what happened?" Ethan's concerned look made it so she couldn't look away. She couldn't remember if she was breathing, and then spoke. "Actually, that isn't true."

Cora looked at the ground. Be brave. "Eliza was just trying to be nice. Thank you, by the way." She looked to Elliot, hoping she wouldn't be angry. "It's nothing, really. I was just telling Eliza about how my father...died. It happened a while ago. Not quite something I like to talk about, though." Cora said this stronger than when she began. Please don't feel sorry for me. Cora did not want all of this attention, but they needed to know.

And although she should have kept her mouth shut, she still couldn't picture herself hanging Cora out to dry.

Oh thank goodness, she thought as Cora explained why Eliza had lied. She stood firm and looked at Ethan and Elliot, hoping they'd understand, but also showing them that if they snubbed her for this she would still feel she'd done what she thought was best. She gave a sideways smile to Cora, to apologize for putting her in this situation and to thank her for trying to get them out of it.

Elliot was...confused...how did hair stab? Was that possible? Hmph. She stared suspiciously at the girl...she was young. She was fresh. And very...readable. Elliot wasn't stupid. BUt she played along...for now. "Eliza...I'm Elliot. Elliot Morganzo. You're a first year?" she asked, her voice's tone a bit like...stone? Because she was withholding judgment..for now. "My favorite class? Transfiguration. Why? Because I'm excellent at it." No other reason was needed...she sent a smirk to Ethan...hehehe. The homework room...poor guy had to endure she and Minnie...

When she met his eyes, she knew...they both agreed! This youngling was totally lying! Why, though? Because you didn't lie without a reason! Hmm. Elliot just didn't get it. She shot a look at Cora, now...waiting for her response...

Cora saaaaid that was the truth, but Elliot narrowed her eyes...come on, sweetie? You think Elliot is that thick?! But she didn't call her out on it. ..for now. For now for now FOR NOW. HMPH...

But then she confessed it all...OH Merlin. About her..father? ELliot couldn't help but be a bit offended...she had told this stupid little firstie something that she hadn't even told Elliot yet?! Elliot cleared her throat, though and tried not to seem too...pouty. "I see. We don't need to talk about it again, though...since..." yeah. It seemed to have made Cora upset.

Elliot was a bit...jealous, yeah.

She raised her eyebrows at Eliza..."Good kid, lying for a friend." She said with an approving nod, however jealous she felt...hmph.
