 Ailsa, Rachel and everyone. Fluttery Pegasi
No sooner had Hadley taken the raffle ticket from Thornton did she find herself in a tiny embrace from Ailsa. "Thanks, Cuz," she said, returning the hug and blinking, a bit confused by the second half. She shrugged it off. "I think this is first time either of us have celebrated the other's birthday." She'd only reconnected with her cousin the day before, but it was hard not to see all that they had missed by not being in each other's lives. Stupid Dad and his stupid fight with his stupid twin!
As Ailsa wandered off to prepare her silly tea, Rachel linked arms with Haddie, leading her away from the prefect ---which everyone would agree was probably for the best--- and deeper into the surreal common room. "Never!" Haddie scoffed, without being able to keep a straight face. She shrugged and looked around. Rachel knew everyone already, but Haddie was still getting to know people, so she just waved at the others for now. "It's my birthday," she reminded Rachel. "I can cause trouble if I want to. I need to run up to our room to get something. Coming with or saving me a seat?"
