I don't usually post here but much drama in the front of the train, that I have to save these posts

She found it unfair to get ahead than everyone else her age. She wouldn't need to use magic anyway if she were to travel. She would be around muggles, magic wasn't necessary. That was, if dreams of traveling were realized. And she'd learn of this muggle CIS thing, or whatever it was called, maybe some other muggle would know about it too. And, she'd be able to stick it to him that she knew what it was.

Whatever she'd planned to say, whatever she'd meant to reply, whatever she'd been thinking or meant to do or whatever required a brain to function; it went blank. He was holding her hand. He was holding her hand!! And Merlins did it feel nice. His grip fit hers, and his hands were warm, or maybe she was just cold. Whatever it was, it felt wonderful.

She couldn't reply anymore, but thankfully, smiling didn't require much thinking, and after half a second of staring, she smiled up at him a touch shyly, and much much happily.

Anyway, gossip usually found it's way to Amelia and that wouldn't be good at all. Or would it? It would make thier relationship worse, but something told him that it might make things better somehow. He didn't know. All he knew now was that he liked being with Lindsey. That was all that was on his mind right now. Lindsey.

He looked deeply into Lindsey's light brown eyes. There were filled with happiness and they twinkled just like his ocean blue eyes were right now. He was happy, even though he had feelings for another. Or did he? Lindsey was so distracting. He liked it. A lot. He smiled at her brightly and couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was perfect. She was everything he could have wanted. All he had to do was tell her what he was feeling, but something was stopping him from doing so. Something he couldn't ignore. Something he wished would go away. It was his conscience. You know. Mia won't be too happy to see this if she was here, he conscience echoed. Shut up. She said she couldn't do it. She said that we could be just friends. She moved on, he argued back. It's time to move on.

Finally reaching the front of the train, the seventh year slowed her pace to peer into each compartment, looking for an empty one. Or with some familiar face in there. But then she saw in one the last person she really wanted to see right now. Tancred.

Cautiously looking into the open door she blinked as she saw something she thought her eyes were deceiving her. Tancred was not alone, but instead he was sitting next to the rather attractive Lindsey Hamilton. And holding her hand! She could have killed him right there, but instead she felt herself losing consciousness.

Before she could help herself, there was a soft thud as the 5'7 seventh year hit the floor of the compartment. Fainted...

Hiding behind that, and trying to become as inconspicuous as possible, she flipped to a drawing she had been working on before she left for school. It was a simple picture of the outside of her house. She looked at it fondly and a little twinge of homesickness shot through her gut. Not for the people so much as for the building itself. She always missed the little cottage when she was away from it. It was the best thing about coming home. Her little room in the attic, the vines creeping up the sides, the huge tree covering the left side. It was her favorite place in the world.

She was just starting to absorb herself when she heard a thump from outside the compartment door. She looked up in alarm at Tancred and the girl to see if they had heard. Then she stood up and walked to the door. Laying on the floor was a girl. She was surprisingly like Elodie herself, what with the red hair. But shaking this thought out of her head Ella knelt down next to her, frantically trying to figure out what to do. She glanced back at the others desperately looking for help. Grabbing the girls arm she shook her, "Wake up!" She said stupidly.

Either way, he went to the front and didn't even notice where his feet were carrying them.

As he was walking by a compartment full of Hufflepuffs (one of whom looked familiar), he felt a thud, and suddenly, there were only three. Hadn't there just been four? He peeked through the window and noticed that one was unconscious on the floor! He knocked on the window and mouthed "does she need help?"

I have no idea why though.." She trailed off, still trying to figure out what to do. The girl was just laying there. She figured she should slap her or something.. but the idea of hitting a girl she didn't know seemed some how wrong.

"So...erm...what should we do for her? Fan her? Anyone want to pour water on her face?"

And then he looked down. It was Amelia, the Hufflepuff prefect! She was the one he had met outside of Dresden's office last term! That was when he turned into a tiger or whatever it was. But....she wasn't wearing her badge. Maybe she had just forgotten to put it on.

He was glad that his stupid conscience had givn up and actually shut up on him. It was quite peaceful without it barging in every second he was around Lindsey. It was a perfect moment that he never thought he would live in. It was amazing. Perfect. Heavenly. It was every thing he could have ever wished for. That was until ...

He heard a soft thud in the compartment. He wanted to continue staring at Lindsey, but he wanted to know where the heck that thud came from. He took a few moments to look at her and then looked around the compartment. When his eyes reached the floor, he was shocked and confused. Mostly confused. How in Merlin's beard did she show up? When did she show up? Why now?

He looked at Lindsey. He gave her a look of puzzlement and blinked. His heart was beating quicker than it ever had in his entire life. What should I do? he mouthed out to her. He honestly didn't know what to do. This was the first time in his life that he was in a serious sticky situation. He didn't want to stop gazing in Lindsey's eyes. He didn't want her to be upset. He didn't want to just leave her there. He didn't want her there to ruin whatever he was feeling. What should I do?! he thought over and over in his head. He didn't know what to do. He stared at her with eyes so wide that it looked like his eyes could pop out at any moment.

She grabbed her abandoned sketch book off the seat and started fanning the girl with it. Dear Merlin, I hope this works.. She thought

And they were twinkling back at hers, showing she wasn't the only one that was happy, even if she'd fallen utterly silent. She squeezed his hand lightly herself, almost in gratitude.

It was then that something happened behind her, although Lindsey might never make sense of what had happened. The scare, however, caused her to move closer to Tanc without even thinking about it. There was someone just lying on the floor there. And-- was that... Amelia?!

"Oh--God!" she gasped, barely making it out. She glanced back at Tancy without even ordering her head to do anything, maybe for reassurance that there was no reason to worry. He, however, looked just as shocked and puzzled as she. That didn't help.

'Stop panicking!' she thought quickly. What was she supposed to do when someone... well what was wrong with her? She looked like she'd.. fainted? Her muscles refused to move, maybe because she was still clinging to Tancy's hand, and maybe because it wasn't only his hand that was warm, and she was comfortable closer to him.

"What's wrong with her? What happened?" she asked the two that were surrounding Amelia, panic still keeping her from moving. Panic had never gotten to her before... how odd...

With a girl laying on the floor at her feet, reason unknown. A complete stranger the only one helping her. The ones she barely knew, were just watching in shock. She looked up at the boy who had walked in. "Do you want to try the water.." She paused trying to recall his name, then realized she didn't know it. "I'm sorry, who are you again?" She laughed a little at, this was definitely an odd way to meet someone.

He looked down at Amelia. The fanning didn't seem to be working as much as he had hoped. "Well, I'm not doing underage magic on a 7th year, AND a prefect, so I'll go get some water from a sink or something."

With that, he exited the compartment and went to the men's room. As he entered, he noticed that he was getting a bit scruffy again. He'd need to shave soon. But he pushed that to the back of his mind.

He rummaged around for a cup, and once he found one, filled it with water. Carefully, he made his way back to the compartment (so as not to spill the water). He opened the door again and said, "Got some water."

He was nervous about pouring water on a prefect's face, but considering he was unconscious, he figured she wouldn't mind it. She might even thank him. He poured the water on her face, thinking, here goes.

He continued to sit there, holding Lindsey's hand tighter. He didn't want to leave her for her, but he didn't want to leave Lindsey for her. He didn't know what to do, so he just sat there the way he was. Frozen. His heart was still beating faster than ever, his eyes still opened wide. This couldn't be happening! It just couldn't.

His Daffodil let out a loud "HONK!" to get people's attention. "Pardon me!" He pushed a hufflepuff (Elodie) out of the way. "Prefect Coming through!" "Honk!"

He ducked under the arm of another Ravenclaw and caught the sight of a Captain's badge to find Amelia on the floor. "Hey! What happened?" He looked around to find the Hufflepuff prefect nearby.

"Honk!"

Despite being unconscious she was sure that eyes were peering at her and the sheer embarrassment of the situation was to come after she awoke. Who would see her on the ground? Fainted. She never fainted before except once and to think it was over a boy and a little jealousy.

And then she felt it. Water over her other cheek - the one that was up towards the ceiling. Eyes flickered slightly but she remained still unconscious - in another world.

She looked up at Ryan as he came back to the compartment. She was a little wary, now that she knew she was a prefect, but despite that she said "Okay. Do you want to pour it on her?"

She hadn't seen it at all, and they couldn't wake her up! It was the weirdest thing. And then the Ravenclaw prefect joined them, and she felt obliged to reply for some reason.

"She fainted," she replied. "I don't know why or how but she fainted about... a minute ago. And we poured water on her, and she won't wake up," she said it in a bit of a rush. She was still holding onto Tancy tightly, as if knowing he was still holding her hand kept her away from her own panic breakdown. It truly was the oddest thing that she could not think properly in a situation such as.

Stories from when he was younger filled Cale's 5th year old mind. "Oh I know," he said after a moment shifting his pot in his arms. "Someone's gotta kiss her to wake her up." The four people standing around looked at him like he had sprouted flowers out of his ears. "What? Haven't any of you read the story about the Fainting Witch? Common -who's going to kiss her?" He looked back and fourth between the two older Wizards neither of which look to eager to do it. "Alright Finnnnneee," Cale sighed shoving his precious honking daffodil into the hands of the Ravenclaw Captain (who he figured would be the most qualified and careful with his dear dear plant!) and then dropped to his knees next to the crumpled girl. He leaned over and -

He wrapped his arm around Lindsey to give her some extra comfort and to stop her from jumping like she had. He needed some comfort too. Especially when she regained consciousness. He didn't have a good feeling about this.

Even though he had a bad feeling about this, he still held on to Lindsey. His eyes were still widened and, besides the movement he had just mad, he was still petrified by what had just happened. Questions where buzzing through his head. What happened? Why is this happening? And what was this Ravenclaw fellow doing here asking what had happened? What was he doing to her?!

Green eyes flickered open to the sight of not ocean blue eyes as she had perhaps been dreaming of, but handsome brown eyes belonging to Cale.

"Huh? What? You!" she spoke in scattered sentences, wishing that what she thought just happened didn't. It couldn't have; but yet it was though there was nothing else around them. All she could see now was those brown eyes peering into hers...

She wondered for a moment if he realized she was a prefect, but then she remembered the badge on his own chest. Then she considered the fact that she was two years older then him. She shrugged, and watched incredulously as he leaned over her.

But then she stuttered awake, and Elodie's already-large eyes widened even more. It actually worked! She let out a small laugh of relief and turned to look at Ryan, raising her eyebrows.

He was so jealous now. Not because of her being kissed, but who she was kissed by. It just wasn't right! She was looking into this guys eyes, not even pushing him away. She must've wanted it like that.

He turned his head to Lindsey, his arm stilled wrapped around her. He put his other arm around her and looked into her eyes. His conscience was getting back into the picture now. Don't do it! Just don't! She isn't what you really want! DON'T! Tancred rolled his eyes and argued back, Shut up! You don't know what I want! He looked at her and smiled. He leaned toward her and kissed her like she was the only thing in this entire world that he wanted. He held her tight and kissed her better than he had ever kissed anyone before.

His eyebrow rose as he saw a kid he barely recognized about to kiss what appeared to be an unconscious girl.

"What the? Okay, Hold it!" he said, stepping in and pointing down at the boy.

He didn't notice the badge until after he had done so. The new prefect was... surely not a Juno.

Amelia fainted into the compartment, after seeing Tancred and Lindsey. Who were holding hand.

Tancred didn't do anything, because they were fighting.

Amelia gets kissed, Tancred gets jealous.

So, he takes revenge by kissing Lindsey.

It was almost as good as a soap opera. Elodie waited until Amelia noticed what Tancred was doing. Although, suddenly, she wasn't so sure she wanted to be here anymore. She didn't want to be a witness to Amelia getting hurt. Some how, she was affectionate toward the older girl. Maybe it was the whole 'trying to help her out' thing. Taking care of her almost. Not that she had ended up being much help...

He chuckled and then turned to see another guy standing in the doorway to the compartment yelling hold it really loud. "Hey! Keep it down- she's probably got a headache." He pointed to Amelia. "And you'll scare - Rob-" and it was too late his plant started honking it's head off.

"Honk, honk, honk-edy-honk!"

He tapped the older Ravenclaw boy on the shoulder briefly, "Excuse me, but what excatly is going on?" He asked, staring at the comotion all around.

::The response to Tanc's kiss::

And, in some miraculous world by some miraculous hand, it worked. Amelia's voice was heard over the rumble, and Lindsey seemed to have immediatly relaxed.

She was suddenly turned around by Tanc's hand, and she was staring right back into those blue eyes. He was telling her something, she didn't know what, but he was telling her something. And it was stopping her brain from thinking at all. And suddenly, he smiled, and it caused her to smile. She liked being held like this. It reminded her--

And again, her brain stopped. Her eyes had closed without even thinking about it, and she'd melted into Tancy's embrase. If she had been excited over holding his hand, then a kiss was sure to mean she would faint. But she didn't, and she treasured the moment. She was getting kissed by Tanc, and what was a few seconds, felt like a few years. And it felt wonderful, this heavenly little feeling accompanied by a twingle in her stomach. It felt so utterly wonderful.

But her eyes eventually fluttered open and she pulled away, breathless and shocked. She'd never-- he hadn't-- she couldn't--- She was shocked. Not complaining, but utterly shocked. She hadn't thought he felt that way about her.

All the people in here were just too much for her and then she heard the familiar voice from the stands during Ravenclaw quidditch games. She didn't know him, but he was ... nosy, that's what he was.

"I've got more than a headache," she said smiling as Cale stood up to stand by the doorway. She was slightly disappointed that he had glanced away from her but now she could face the matter at hand.

Standing up, perhaps too quickly, she turned to look at Tancred. "You really know how to kick a girl when she's down, don't you?" she said fiercely shaking her head at him.

And with that, she picked her messenger bag and owl cage off the floor and pushed her way to the door, storming off to go find a quieter compartment. She needed Savannah right now; that girl would know what to do.

When she finally caught up with her she said, "Look. I don't want to be nosy or anything- and if you want me to sod off just say the word- but are you okay?"

"A prefect who hates being touched and now one that goes and kisses older girls. What will they give us next..." he said mostly to himself.

He almost didn't hear that she was yelling at him. I really know how to kick a girl when she's down? he thought quickly. You're the one that broke up with me! "Sure. Whatever," he shouted. "You're the one that broke up with me. Remember? ... So don't say that I know how to kick a girl when she's down! You know how to kick a guy when he's down!"

He felt like standing up and chasing after her to yell some more, but he stayed where he was. He didn't want to leave Lindsey. What he had said was enough. He watched as she stormed out of the compartment. "There's something for you to think about!" he shouted after her.

He looked back at Lindsey and gave her a 'I'm sorry you had to see that' look.

And she-- Lindsey didn't understand. What was she talking about, what was he talking about. Her eyes widened in alarm as Tanc yelled right back at Amelia. He broke up-- Had Lindsey just--?

Oh God, she was rebound! He was jealous, that's why he'd kissed her! And suddenly, the moment was might as well beyond ruined. It was disaster. She pulled her hand away from his, looking at him in disbelief and accusation. She was rebound. She was rebound to Amelia, and he had kissed her because she'd gotten kissed first. Was this how selfish this boy was?

"Why did you kiss me," she demanded, alarmed. She feared the answer. She really liked Tancy. Had he kissed her because she was the nearest girl he had?

And then something startled her. The sound of a sweet voice talking to her and she recognized that the girl had been in the compartment. Oh no! Here comes the shame! "Look, i don't mean to be obvious, but that is being nosy," she replied, half sarcasm in her tone. Oh that was no way to treat another student who was innocent in this; honestly where are your manners? "Eek! Sorry, I didn't mean that. Yea I'm fine... just need some quiet I think. You can come with if you like," she suggested openly, walking down the hall to nowhere really.

And I think I'll end it there... more on the Tanc/Mia/Lindsey soap opera coming soon ...

Before she could help herself, there was a soft thud as the 5'7 seventh year hit the floor of the compartment. Fainted...

Hiding behind that, and trying to become as inconspicuous as possible, she flipped to a drawing she had been working on before she left for school. It was a simple picture of the outside of her house. She looked at it fondly and a little twinge of homesickness shot through her gut. Not for the people so much as for the building itself. She always missed the little cottage when she was away from it. It was the best thing about coming home. Her little room in the attic, the vines creeping up the sides, the huge tree covering the left side. It was her favorite place in the world. She was just starting to absorb herself when she heard a thump from outside the compartment door. She looked up in alarm at Tancred and the girl to see if they had heard. Then she stood up and walked to the door. Laying on the floor was a girl. She was surprisingly like Elodie herself, what with the red hair. But shaking this thought out of her head Ella knelt down next to her, frantically trying to figure out what to do. She glanced back at the others desperately looking for help. Grabbing the girls arm she shook her, "Wake up!" She said stupidly.

Either way, he went to the front and didn't even notice where his feet were carrying them. As he was walking by a compartment full of Hufflepuffs (one of whom looked familiar), he felt a thud, and suddenly, there were only three. Hadn't there just been four? He peeked through the window and noticed that one was unconscious on the floor! He knocked on the window and mouthed "does she need help?" Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe Ella glanced up as she heard knock and saw a boy peering through. He mouthed "does she need help?". Ella nodded and pushed the compartment door open. "Yeah. I think she fainted. I have no idea why though.." She trailed off, still trying to figure out what to do. The girl was just laying there. She figured she should slap her or something.. but the idea of hitting a girl she didn't know seemed some how wrong. Quote: Originally Posted by cake.ninjak Ryan opened the door to the compartment and was hesitant to stepping inside. It was full of Hufflepuffs and there was no doubt some of them had heard about what happened between him and Rapunzel. Plus, it was a bit crowded. "So...erm...what should we do for her? Fan her? Anyone want to pour water on her face?" And then he looked down. It was Amelia, the Hufflepuff prefect! She was the one he had met outside of Dresden's office last term! That was when he turned into a tiger or whatever it was. But....she wasn't wearing her badge. Maybe she had just forgotten to put it on.

It was quite peaceful without it barging in every second he was around Lindsey. It was a perfect moment that he never thought he would live in. It was amazing. Perfect. Heavenly. It was every thing he could have ever wished for. That was until ... He heard a soft thud in the compartment. He wanted to continue staring at Lindsey, but he wanted to know where the heck that thud came from. He took a few moments to look at her and then looked around the compartment. When his eyes reached the floor, he was shocked and confused. Mostly confused. How in Merlin's beard did she show up? When did she show up? Why now? He looked at Lindsey. He gave her a look of puzzlement and blinked. His heart was beating quicker than it ever had in his entire life. What should I do? he mouthed out to her. He honestly didn't know what to do. This was the first time in his life that he was in a serious sticky situation. He didn't want to stop gazing in Lindsey's eyes. He didn't want her to be upset. He didn't want to just leave her there. He didn't want her there to ruin whatever he was feeling. What should I do?! he thought over and over in his head. He didn't know what to do. He stared at her with eyes so wide that it looked like his eyes could pop out at any moment. Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe Elodie shrugged helplessly, and looked back at the other two. Her eyes a little accusitory, as they still were just sitting there looking at them. She turned back to the boy. "I.. guess so?" She grabbed her abandoned sketch book off the seat and started fanning the girl with it. Dear Merlin, I hope this works.. She thought Quote: Originally Posted by argentinaz_angel She didn't think she knew how to be quiet for this long.

It was like she'd forgotten how to think. But those blue eyes, oh Merlin those blue eyes. How she liked them. And they were twinkling back at hers, showing she wasn't the only one that was happy, even if she'd fallen utterly silent. She squeezed his hand lightly herself, almost in gratitude. It was then that something happened behind her, although Lindsey might never make sense of what had happened. The scare, however, caused her to move closer to Tanc without even thinking about it. There was someone just lying on the floor there. And-- was that... Amelia?! "Oh--God!" she gasped, barely making it out. She glanced back at Tancy without even ordering her head to do anything, maybe for reassurance that there was no reason to worry. He, however, looked just as shocked and puzzled as she. That didn't help. 'Stop panicking!' she thought quickly. What was she supposed to do when someone... well what was wrong with her? She looked like she'd.. fainted? Her muscles refused to move, maybe because she was still clinging to Tancy's hand, and maybe because it wasn't only his hand that was warm, and she was comfortable closer to him. "What's wrong with her? What happened?" she asked the two that were surrounding Amelia, panic still keeping her from moving. Panic had never gotten to her before... how odd... Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe "She fainted." Elodie said shortly, still fanning. "Come on, hun. Wake up!" She pleaded quietly. This was such and awkward situation. She was surrounded by people she didn't know. With a girl laying on the floor at her feet, reason unknown. A complete stranger the only one helping her. The ones she barely knew, were just watching in shock. She looked up at the boy who had walked in. "Do you want to try the water.." She paused trying to recall his name, then realized she didn't know it. "I'm sorry, who are you again?" She laughed a little at, this was definitely an odd way to meet someone. Quote: Originally Posted by cake.ninjak "Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm Ryan. Ryan Lee, fifth year Ravenclaw and quid-" He stopped there, not wanting to reveal his status quite yet. "And you are?" He looked down at Amelia. The fanning didn't seem to be working as much as he had hoped. "Well, I'm not doing underage magic on a 7th year, AND a prefect, so I'll go get some water from a sink or something." With that, he exited the compartment and went to the men's room. As he entered, he noticed that he was getting a bit scruffy again. He'd need to shave soon. But he pushed that to the back of his mind. He rummaged around for a cup, and once he found one, filled it with water. Carefully, he made his way back to the compartment (so as not to spill the water). He opened the door again and said, "Got some water." He was nervous about pouring water on a prefect's face, but considering he was unconscious, he figured she wouldn't mind it. She might even thank him. He poured the water on her face, thinking, here goes. Quote: Originally Posted by accio.brain Tancred just sat there. He was shocked, puzzled, and everything else in between. This just wasn't right! How in the world did she get there? What all did she see? What in Merlin's beard was going on? Why was all this happening to him? Why, why, why? He continued to sit there, holding Lindsey's hand tighter. He didn't want to leave her for her, but he didn't want to leave Lindsey for her. He didn't know what to do, so he just sat there the way he was. Frozen. His heart was still beating faster than ever, his eyes still opened wide. This couldn't be happening! It just couldn't.

Something told him that as a prefect, he should be pushing past everyone to make sure nobody had turned purple or lost a toe. "Excuse me!" he yelled. His Daffodil let out a loud "HONK!" to get people's attention. "Pardon me!" He pushed a hufflepuff (Elodie) out of the way. "Prefect Coming through!" "Honk!" He ducked under the arm of another Ravenclaw and caught the sight of a Captain's badge to find Amelia on the floor. "Hey! What happened?" He looked around to find the Hufflepuff prefect nearby. "Honk!" Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixRising The tall redhead just laid with her cheek against the cold floor of the compartment. She could feel movement around here and some talking maybe, but it was all just speculation as the hufflepuff was still unconscious. Despite being unconscious she was sure that eyes were peering at her and the sheer embarrassment of the situation was to come after she awoke. Who would see her on the ground? Fainted. She never fainted before except once and to think it was over a boy and a little jealousy. And then she felt it. Water over her other cheek - the one that was up towards the ceiling. Eyes flickered slightly but she remained still unconscious - in another world. Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe Despite herself, Elodie chuckled a little bit at his lengthy reply. "Elodie O'Shea, 6th year Hufflepuff," she replied. "Nice to meet you." She added, although it was more of a distracted mutter. She nodded as he left, "Thank you." She looked up at Ryan as he came back to the compartment. She was a little wary, now that she knew she was a prefect, but despite that she said "Okay. Do you want to pour it on her?" Quote: Originally Posted by argentinaz_angel She jumped a little for no apparent reason as water was poured on Amelia's pretty face. It was-- she didn't understand how Amelia had gotten there, or so suddenly fainted. She hadn't seen it at all, and they couldn't wake her up! It was the weirdest thing. And then the Ravenclaw prefect joined them, and she felt obliged to reply for some reason. "She fainted," she replied. "I don't know why or how but she fainted about... a minute ago. And we poured water on her, and she won't wake up," she said it in a bit of a rush. She was still holding onto Tancy tightly, as if knowing he was still holding her hand kept her away from her own panic breakdown. It truly was the oddest thing that she could not think properly in a situation such as. ::Cale the plant expert and kisser?:: Quote: Originally Posted by Hawken Terrell "Fainted eh?" His plant was about to honk again but he shh'ed it tryin to think. The girl's face was wet so it appeared that water hadn't revived her. Stories from when he was younger filled Cale's 5th year old mind. "Oh I know," he said after a moment shifting his pot in his arms. "Someone's gotta kiss her to wake her up." The four people standing around looked at him like he had sprouted flowers out of his ears. "What? Haven't any of you read the story about the Fainting Witch? Common -who's going to kiss her?" He looked back and fourth between the two older Wizards neither of which look to eager to do it. "Alright Finnnnneee," Cale sighed shoving his precious honking daffodil into the hands of the Ravenclaw Captain (who he figured would be the most qualified and careful with his dear dear plant!) and then dropped to his knees next to the crumpled girl. He leaned over and - Quote: Originally Posted by accio.brain Tancred felt Lindsey jump. He felt sorry for her. She didn't have a reason to feel all jumpy. She barely knew her. He wrapped his arm around Lindsey to give her some extra comfort and to stop her from jumping like she had. He needed some comfort too. Especially when she regained consciousness. He didn't have a good feeling about this. Even though he had a bad feeling about this, he still held on to Lindsey. His eyes were still widened and, besides the movement he had just mad, he was still petrified by what had just happened. Questions where buzzing through his head. What happened? Why is this happening? And what was this Ravenclaw fellow doing here asking what had happened? What was he doing to her?! Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixRising It was as though it was all a dream, but not. Amelia could feel herself being turned over onto her back and then before she knew it there was a definite wetness to her lips. Green eyes flickered open to the sight of not ocean blue eyes as she had perhaps been dreaming of, but handsome brown eyes belonging to Cale. "Huh? What? You!" she spoke in scattered sentences, wishing that what she thought just happened didn't. It couldn't have; but yet it was though there was nothing else around them. All she could see now was those brown eyes peering into hers... Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe Elodie stared at the newcomer. She watched incredulously as he plopped down next to her and leaned over the girl. She wondered for a moment if he realized she was a prefect, but then she remembered the badge on his own chest. Then she considered the fact that she was two years older then him. She shrugged, and watched incredulously as he leaned over her. But then she stuttered awake, and Elodie's already-large eyes widened even more. It actually worked! She let out a small laugh of relief and turned to look at Ryan, raising her eyebrows. ::Tanc gets jealous and kisses Lindz:: Quote: Originally Posted by accio.brain Tancred couldn't believe what he had just saw. She had woken up because this Ravenclaw freak had kissed her. He didn't know what to do. He only had one this on his mind on how to change all of this. He was so jealous now. Not because of her being kissed, but who she was kissed by. It just wasn't right! She was looking into this guys eyes, not even pushing him away. She must've wanted it like that. He turned his head to Lindsey, his arm stilled wrapped around her. He put his other arm around her and looked into her eyes. His conscience was getting back into the picture now. Don't do it! Just don't! She isn't what you really want! DON'T! Tancred rolled his eyes and argued back, Shut up! You don't know what I want! He looked at her and smiled. He leaned toward her and kissed her like she was the only thing in this entire world that he wanted. He held her tight and kissed her better than he had ever kissed anyone before. ::More spectators:: Quote: Originally Posted by PharaohMan18 Sho slid open the door to a compartment after hearing a ruckus going on outside. He was dressed in his muggle clothes still - plaid shorts, lightweight printed tee under a button up, and casual shoes. His eyebrow rose as he saw a kid he barely recognized about to kiss what appeared to be an unconscious girl. "What the? Okay, Hold it!" he said, stepping in and pointing down at the boy. He didn't notice the badge until after he had done so. The new prefect was... surely not a Juno. ::One of the best posts here; someone finally draws sense of the whole thing!:: Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe Elodie turned in time to see Tancred kissing Lindsey. Then everything finally fell into place. Amelia fainted into the compartment, after seeing Tancred and Lindsey. Who were holding hand. Tancred didn't do anything, because they were fighting. Amelia gets kissed, Tancred gets jealous. So, he takes revenge by kissing Lindsey. It was almost as good as a soap opera. Elodie waited until Amelia noticed what Tancred was doing. Although, suddenly, she wasn't so sure she wanted to be here anymore. She didn't want to be a witness to Amelia getting hurt. Some how, she was affectionate toward the older girl. Maybe it was the whole 'trying to help her out' thing. Taking care of her almost. Not that she had ended up being much help... Quote: Originally Posted by Hawken Terrell "See," he said staring at Amelia for a moment before sitting back on his calves. "Told you it'd work." He chuckled and then turned to see another guy standing in the doorway to the compartment yelling hold it really loud. "Hey! Keep it down- she's probably got a headache." He pointed to Amelia. "And you'll scare - Rob-" and it was too late his plant started honking it's head off. "Honk, honk, honk-edy-honk!" ::Another visitor:: Quote: Originally Posted by Sebastian Milan Okaay, things were getting, rather interesting outside, despite himself, Sebastian's curiosity got the better of himself, and he peeked his head out of the compartment, looking both ways. He smirked to himself, like he was crossing the road. He tapped the older Ravenclaw boy on the shoulder briefly, "Excuse me, but what excatly is going on?" He asked, staring at the comotion all around. ::The response to Tanc's kiss:: Quote: Originally Posted by argentinaz_angel Kiss her?! Kiss her?! That was the best that Ravenclaw boy could come up with?! He had to be joking! And yet, there he went, leaning over Amelia, kissing her. And, in some miraculous world by some miraculous hand, it worked. Amelia's voice was heard over the rumble, and Lindsey seemed to have immediatly relaxed. She was suddenly turned around by Tanc's hand, and she was staring right back into those blue eyes. He was telling her something, she didn't know what, but he was telling her something. And it was stopping her brain from thinking at all. And suddenly, he smiled, and it caused her to smile. She liked being held like this. It reminded her-- And again, her brain stopped. Her eyes had closed without even thinking about it, and she'd melted into Tancy's embrase. If she had been excited over holding his hand, then a kiss was sure to mean she would faint. But she didn't, and she treasured the moment. She was getting kissed by Tanc, and what was a few seconds, felt like a few years. And it felt wonderful, this heavenly little feeling accompanied by a twingle in her stomach. It felt so utterly wonderful. But her eyes eventually fluttered open and she pulled away, breathless and shocked. She'd never-- he hadn't-- she couldn't--- She was shocked. Not complaining, but utterly shocked. She hadn't thought he felt that way about her. ::Amelia leaves:: Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixRising Despite staring into Cale's eyes, Amelia still seemed to have pretty decent peripheral vision. And that was when it clicked of why she was still lying down on the ground. Oh no, she was starting to feel woozy again and she hadn't even sat up yet. Was he kissing her?! All the people in here were just too much for her and then she heard the familiar voice from the stands during Ravenclaw quidditch games. She didn't know him, but he was ... nosy, that's what he was. "I've got more than a headache," she said smiling as Cale stood up to stand by the doorway. She was slightly disappointed that he had glanced away from her but now she could face the matter at hand. Standing up, perhaps too quickly, she turned to look at Tancred. "You really know how to kick a girl when she's down, don't you?" she said fiercely shaking her head at him. And with that, she picked her messenger bag and owl cage off the floor and pushed her way to the door, storming off to go find a quieter compartment. She needed Savannah right now; that girl would know what to do. Quote: Originally Posted by sunbabe Elodie stood up, glancing between Tancred and Lindsey, and Amelia. As Amelia walked out of the door, she made a split-second decision, shot Tancred a dirty look, and then followed Amelia. When she finally caught up with her she said, "Look. I don't want to be nosy or anything- and if you want me to sod off just say the word- but are you okay?" ::Amazing post by Ryan/Sho:: Quote: Originally Posted by PharaohMan18 Sho put his hands on his hips. Now he was being chastised and asked about what was going on. And the girl just hopped up and wandered off. "Well the prefect here kissed a girl because... because... Well I don't know why, but he did," Sho said, moving his arms up and crossing them over his chest. "A prefect who hates being touched and now one that goes and kisses older girls. What will they give us next..." he said mostly to himself. Quote: Originally Posted by Sebastian Milan "Interesting books on history of magic." Sebastian suddenly piped up to his inaverted comment. Then with a jolt, or second thought, realised that this boy, who he knew nothing about, might like history of magic... "Uh, I mean, they'll makes something that's really boring, interesting..." Oops Quote: Originally Posted by accio.brain Tancred sat back in his seat. He was a little confused to why Lindsey had pulled away from him, but he could see why. She obviously didn't think that he had feelings like this for her. He smiled at her. That kiss of theirs was perfect. Heavenly. He almost didn't hear that she was yelling at him. I really know how to kick a girl when she's down? he thought quickly. You're the one that broke up with me! "Sure. Whatever," he shouted. *"You're the one that broke up with me. Remember? ... So don't say that I know how to kick a girl when she's down! You* know how to kick a guy when he's down!"** He felt like standing up and chasing after her to yell some more, but he stayed where he was. He didn't want to leave Lindsey. What he had said was enough. He watched as she stormed out of the compartment. "There's something for you to think about!" he shouted after her. He looked back at Lindsey and gave her a 'I'm sorry you had to see that' look. Quote: Originally Posted by argentinaz_angel If Tancy knew how to kick a girl when she was down, Amelia sure knew how to ruin the most perfect moment in her world. She'd just been kissed! And it had felt like heaven! And she-- Lindsey didn't understand. What was she talking about, what was he talking about. Her eyes widened in alarm as Tanc yelled right back at Amelia. He broke up-- Had Lindsey just--? Oh God, she was rebound! He was jealous, that's why he'd kissed her! And suddenly, the moment was might as well beyond ruined. It was disaster. She pulled her hand away from his, looking at him in disbelief and accusation. She was rebound. She was rebound to Amelia, and he had kissed her because she'd gotten kissed first. Was this how selfish this boy was? "Why did you kiss me," she demanded, alarmed. She feared the answer. She really liked Tancy. Had he kissed her because she was the nearest girl he had? Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixRising This was a huge mess, and despite her haste to get out of that compartment something stopped her. It was him... he was talking to her; more like shouting, but still. She didn't know what to say, but a small part of her wanted to turn back and apologize. She hadn't meant those hurtful words. But she couldn't - not yet. Not when the cuts and bruises were so fresh. And then something startled her. The sound of a sweet voice talking to her and she recognized that the girl had been in the compartment. Oh no! Here comes the shame! "Look, i don't mean to be obvious, but that is being nosy," she replied, half sarcasm in her tone. Oh that was no way to treat another student who was innocent in this; honestly where are your manners? "Eek! Sorry, I didn't mean that. Yea I'm fine... just need some quiet I think. You can come with if you like," she suggested openly, walking down the hall to nowhere really. And I think I'll end it there... more on the Tanc/Mia/Lindsey soap opera coming soon ... __________________ ___________________You should take your little finger and just point it in the mirror. ________________________________________Baby, maybe you're the problem ✯ Last edited by PhoenixRising; 06-01-2008 at 02:12 AM.
