ooc: Too much to quote!

Marilyn listened to the two Slytherin girls talk in silence, never taking her eyes off the staff table. If something happened, she surely didn't want to miss it...All this drama and excitement was helping her to not think about that stuff by the lake and other things completely out of her control. Nothing says distraction like a crazy headmaster firing people, causing others to quit.

When she heard her boyfriend's voice, she immediately looked around for him. Seeing Carter sitting with Ella caused her eyes to roll. Of course, he had to be with her. Glancing between the girls and Carter, Marilyn sighed. "I'll catch up with you two a little later." She then proceeded to stand, making her way towards the two Gryffindors. "Hello you." Flashing a weaker version of her best smile, she kissed his cheek. Her attention turned to Ella, "Mind if I join you? I wouldn't want to interrupt..." Her sarcasm want totally obvious...but any Slytherin could've caught it. She couldn't explain to anyone why she was being this way...It wasn't her intention. Just ever since that mess by the lake, Marilyn wasn't in the best of moods...with anyone.
