Parties where Thornton would make an appearance in his dress robes, greet guests, and perhaps dance with his mother or offer a cello solo.
This? This was madness.
Thornton could feel beads of sweat at his temples, threatening to run down the side of his face, and he dabbed at them with his sleeve. He wandered over to the table of food, but the array of sweets and sodas was completely foreign to him, and he feared making another mistake as he had on the train with the Bott's beans. Chewing nervously on the inside of his mouth, he kept moving, only to find himself far too close to the mattresses and the surfing for his comfort.
His heart beat faster and his blinked rapidly, scanning the room. THERE. There was a quiet corner where no one would see him... he hoped.
Weaving through the crowd of Ravenclaws, Thornton squeezed into the small space between an armchair and the wall, curling up on the floor with his knees to his chest.
It would be curfew soon, right?
Bryant(aka Finn) had walked up the stairs with his girlfriend, following the hoard of other Ravenclaws. He wasn't really into talking to a lot of people tonight as he was still tired from the train ride. Popping through the doorway and into the common room, the fifth year's eyes grew a little as he turned and mouthed 'wow' towards his girlfriend. Did they do this often on the first night? He glanced around and saw mattress sliding on the stairs, food on the table, and people everywhere. He said bye to his girlfriend for a little bit to go over and grab something to eat when someone caught his eye.
Where was the firstie going? It wasn't time for bed yet...
Finn tried to squeeze through the group like the ickle had done, kinda making his way, though not nearly as easily. He caught up just in time to see the boy squeeze behind an armchair. Coughing a little to announce his presence, he spoke, "Hey... you ok, bud?" |
