 *Blue Jay* *Newbie Slytherpuff*
Running her hands through her hair, Aleksa glanced around the Hall. Fights were breaking out here and there, tears and tempers were flaring up in other places. It was sheer pandemonium. The inevitability of it all was weighing on everyone's shoulders as was the feeling of being trapped in a maze. Where the key was several other obstacle courses and a huge brick wall that one had to scale with no hope of a broom.
Casting her gray eyes to the door of the Great Hall, she felt a twinge of grief for her now ex-boyfriend Charlie that had disappeared with a blond Hufflepuff hot on his heels. Shaking her head to clear it, she mentally swept aside the dreams and plans that were now in shreds at her feet. Closing her eyes, she took in his whispered question. She was at a crossroads. To turn and face what fate had in store for her...or turn and run like a coward.
Slowly, her steel gray eyes opened. Aleksa sank down into the seat next to Theo and looked directly into his eyes. "I think...that we should see what happens. Ginny and Harry are obviously going to fight it, so we can stick close to them and see what's doing with the Ministry's red tape. In the mean time, we make the best out of this pairing." Well, that was the best she could do at this point.
Another thought struck her, and for the first time in a while she felt uncertain of herself, almost self conscious. That didn't set well with her but she had to say what was on her mind. "I'm sorry about you and Regean. I know that she's attractive and the two of you had plans. I..." What else could she say? Regean was a girl that had social grace and poise. Aleksa was more to the point and abrupt. The two were obvious different, that was not including the fact that Regean was too pretty for words.
With a sigh, she watched as Draco was paired with Agyness. That was a match made in heaven.
Draco gave a little half smile as Agyness came to the realization that their futures were now tied together. He hadn't really hung out with her much but he did know that she was a typical Slytherin female.
Kicking off from the wall, he walked to stand next to her. "Ms. Badwan. Seems we are in a bit of a predicament." Well, if that wasn't the understatement of the year he didn't know what was.
