Something was definitely up with Zander, but she had no idea what it could be. Other than a passing hi here and there, and them going on adventures together, AJ didn't really know that much about him. Of course she didn't need to be a Ravenclaw to know that something wasn't quite right.
"Don't tell me you actually wanna stay here?" Hogwarts was cool and all, but the whole snow thing had pretty much done her in.
"We DID do it, so cheer up dude." AJ fist bumped him, and flashed him a smile. What could he possibly be sad about? All of the lions should be on top if the world right now.
The mama lion sure seemed to be happy, and she had every reason to be so. She got down and dirty, and did what had to be done to get the lions a win, and AJ looked up to her for that. She hoped that when she was older, that would share that same fire as Lex did. If her first year was any indication, then she didn't think that she had anything to worry about.
"Super wicked." Everybody had to celebrate the lions, whether they wanted to or not. HA! AJ nodded at her prefect's words.
"I'm totally a lion." Now that she knew what all of the other houses were about, she knew that there was no way she could have been placed in any other house other than Gryffindor.
"Oh yeah, Hogwarts is SO cool. I can't wait for next year." She was excited to go back home for the summer to see her parents and her non magical friends, but Hogwarts was starting to feel like home to her.
SPOILER!!: Adi, Benny & Angel
That did it. Benny Boo? Adi let out a laugh. "Where do you get these names from, Angel?'' And what did Benny have to say about that? Poor fella. "I'm terribly sorry for your girlfriend's behaviour but you have my blessings to officially be a couple." Hehe. Take AJ's/Angel's hands Benny. Adi was silently begging his bestie to do this because it would be even more funny.
And that's when he spotted Angel. The real one, of course. The Hufflepuff expected her to head towards them, to sit next to Benny so why was she sitting so far away and by herself? "Yo, AJ! Come over here,'' he called out.
Angel...breaking his heart?...he wanted her to be his girlfriend?
Okay, so now it was getting uncomfortable. Benny didn't know who was trying to outfool the other more but he was being stuck in the middle. Him and Angel...the real Angel. Why did it always have to go in that direction? They were just friends, nothing more and he didn't want to be anything more. At least he didn't think he wanted to be anything more. The Gryffindor shook his head to free the thoughts as well as answer AJ's question, only to find her hands being passed to him.
Now this was awkward.
Especially when Benny happened to spot the real Angel coming towards them. Forget the use of Benny-boo. But she did not sit by them. Was she upset? Was she as thoroughly put out as he was. He sent her a look, almost pleading for help of any sort but she seemed distracted. And Adi was apologizing again for something or other while he continued the charade.
Sigh.
"Why don't you forget the apology..." he said getting up from the table. No way he was staying here. Benny wondered if he could escape but he doubted he could go upstairs and there was no other table or friends he could go see. Finally he just moved to take a spot further down the table, sitting by his lonesome.
Angel suddenly saw Benny move somewhere else. "Hey Benny, why don't you come and sit over here." Angel wondered if her friend would. "You really should meet Lucy she's amazing and awesome and such a good friend." Angel really hoped everything would get better between them, she didn't like Benny being mad with her and she really wanted him as a friend.
"Oh!!" Angel then remembered something.
"WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND AND WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING TO THE END, BECAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, YEAH WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!" Angel giggled, she was going to be celebrating this all summer.
Adi's laugh was hard to resist. She was trying her best not to give anything away. As she looked into Benny's eyes though, she knew that they had went too far. It really was just a harmless prank, but he was not feeling it. Not everybody was like Adi and AJ. She could tell that he was embarrassed. The whole him and Angel thing had been a problem all year long, and here she was just making it worse.
Before she could figure out how she was going to respond, he was getting up.
"C'mon Benjamin, don't leave." There was no use trying to stay in character now because the real Angel was here and she was already swooping in on Benny. Dangit. Adi won.
AJ then turned on Adi.
"See what you did," she teased. She plopped down beside him and ruffled his hair.
"Not everybody is as cool as us." she whispered just in case Benny had bat ears or something. AJ looked over to where Angel was sitting with Benny, and waved her over. The last thing she wanted to do was fight when the lions had won. This was a time for celebrating.
