Adrienne and Lisa left the Ravenclaw Safe Room and made their way to the Hufflepuff Rec Room. It was relatively clean, with students practicing their Charms work everywhere, on furniture, each other, some even playing with muggle objects, like cameras. Lisa and Adrienne picked through the rabble and sat next to Scott. Scott had a new girl on his arm, and they looked pretty comfortable.

"Scott, we need to talk." Adrienne tried to get his attention. He stopped kissing the girl and gave Adrienne a withered look.

"Can't it wait till later? We're having auditions here." The girl smiled and waved. "She's pretty good too."

"NOW Scott!" Lisa said, and flipped the bird to the girl. She looked offended, and Scott got up off the couch and followed them.

"So, why aren't you in the Slytherin Room?" Scott looked at Lisa, annoyed. Her cheeks burned.

"Never mind that now. I asked her to come with me, as she's my BEST FRIEND!" Adrienne emphasized. "Now, we managed to get hold of Her-whatty."

"And? What did that chick say?" Scott asked, and twirled Adrienne's hair. "You'd have made a good girlfriend. Why didn't you audition?"

"Because I don't believe in auditioning for being some jerks girlfriend." Adrienne spat, and wrenched her hair out of Scott's grasp. "I do believe we were talking about Herm-owne."

"Her name's Her-mione." Scott said nastily. "And? How is she?"

"Fine by your standards." Lisa said, still red in the face. "But she's got a boyfriend. And he doesn't look bad at all."

"You shut up." Scott said. "Adrienne, last time I inquired, the chick didn't have a boyfriend. Now this one over here," He jerked a thumb towards Lisa, "is telling me she's taken. What up with that?"

"She is. His name's Draco Malfoy. Pretty sexy character, if you ask me." Adrienne said, and both her and Lisa started giggling.

"I didn't ask you about his figure, I asked about him in general. Is he muscular, and do you think I can beat him up?"

"Yes, he is muscular, and NO, I don't think you can, or you should beat him up. He seems like a very nice guy." Adrienne said in defense of Draco.

"Unlike some guys around here." Lisa muttered to Adrienne, who proceeded to laugh quietly.

"Alright, we'll get around him. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some more paperwork to go through." Scott went back to the couch, and proceeded to make out with the girl. Lisa and Adrienne rolled their eyes.

"Wanna head back to my Room? I won't let anyone bother you." Lisa offered to Adrienne.

"Better than watching those two." It was getting pretty intense over on the couch.

"Yea." The two girls left Scott to their own devices, and chatted about Hermione's new boyfriend.

Short yes, I'm sorry, but it's kinda like a bridge, I need it for the following chapters!
