A smile? What was there to smile about anyway?
They lost.
There was no second place--only first place losers, and that's what they were. Sophie took an inward sigh and began the process of convincing herself there was so many positives that the negatives shouldn't matter as much. They'd really done an AWESOME job. She was so proud of the fight they'd put up. Eighty-seven points really wasn't THAT many points. They'd ALMOST won.
So she returned Adelaide's smile.
"Hey," she said.
"Congratulations on getting out of here." Text Cut: Adi

Oh look! Sophie! Grinning, Adi headed towards the girl. "Hey, Sophie. How's it going?'' Pause. "Mind if I sit?''
Oh, heyyy--it was Adi!
Sophie thought Adi was a pretty cool guy. At one point, they'd even dated a little. Well, they went to a Valentine's event together, and that was as close to a date as two twelve-year-olds could get. Boyfriend and girlfriend hadn't worked out, but at least friendship had.
"Hey yourself," she replied.
"Ehh...it's alright. I'm trying to talk myself out of the bad mood that's wanting to come." If he thought hard, he'd realize she was talking about that house cup race.
"It's pretty good, though. I had a good year. What about you?"
She gestured to an empty seat.
"Yeah, it's cool." Text Cut: Ethan

Ethan had to go through his things twice to make sure that he got everything inside his trunk, while being distracted once in a while by books and loose parchments. Well, judging by the grades on his homeworks, he can at least NOT worry about Mordred regarding his academic performance. He did BETTER this term.
And as he stepped inside the Great Hall, the first thing he noticed were the professors. Hmm. Looks like they're excited to go home? Making sure that he did not repeat the same MISTAKE by sitting on the wrong table, Ethan was able to spot Sophie right away with Adi. Okay, Adi isn’t lost, yeah? The blond boy sat in front of the two, and planted his forehead on the table.
Headache. What with the constant waking up at one in the morning every day because of the freaking cold...and living in the dungeon didn't help.
He however, managed to wave at the two while his forehead was stuck on the shiny surface. "Hey."
Hearing a soft thud across the table from her, Sophie looked up to see Ethan face-planted on the house table.
"Yeah...it's too bad, isn't it?" she asked, assuming he was bummed about the house points.
"We were so close..." She reached over and gave him a quick pat on the shoulder.
"You were awesome, though--a points making machine, you were."
That should boost his ego. Heh.
