Evolette McKenna hurried down the corridor, nose in a book. Normally she was not in the habit of walking around like a nerd, or a Ravenclaw even, but she as of late, she had found that schoolwork was helping to keep her mind off of a certain Gryffindor.

It was only when she heard a certain grunt, she looked up. Ack! She had forgotten about the picture. The first time she had ever walked the second floor corridor, this painting of a man whistled at her, and then, the painting next to him, a painting of the man's wife, grunted in disapproval. Now everytime she walked past, she got the glare and grunt.

"What are you looking at?" she asked, tearing her blue eyes away from the book long enough to toss her own glare at the painting.

Paris was walking down from the library when she heard someone snapping at a painting. She looked up and saw it was an older Slytherin girl. She smirked at the girl, she looked really stylish and someone Paris might want to get to know.

Reese stpped when she heard someone's voice.What are you looking at?Were they talking to her?She quickly turned around to face a girl who was glaring at a picture.Okay.Maybe she wasn't talking to her"Uh-Hello there?"She smiled at the girl."Why are you...glaring at the picture?"

Dark locks fell off of her shoulder and down her back as Evolette turned her head quickly, seeking out whoever had just spoken to her. Ah. It was a girl. It was amazing how many people thought that they had the gall to just walk up to her and start talking as if they had known her forever.

On the other hand, she had to respect it a little, it took guts to talk to someone you didn't know.

"You see this man?" she asked, pointing to the picture on the right, "The first time I walked down this corridor, he whistled at me." she moved her gaze to the picture on the left, "His wife can't reach him to smack him, so she takes out her anger on me, and every time I walk past, she grunts and glares."

Leaning closer to the picture, Evolette pointed a finger at it, "And I'm growing tired of your staring!"

Reese looked at the picture the girl pointed at and tilted her head slightly at the man in the picture."Yeah,I see the man,"she told the girl."Aw.The picture is fond of you."She looked at the wife in the picture beside it who was still staring at the girl.

"Well,be glad she can only stare and grunt,"Reese said."Atleast she can't punch."She slighly shurgged and looked back at the girl."I'm Reese.Reese Northway."

Blue eyes widening, Evolette turned around, "Fond of me?" she asked, "He is a creeper!" she added, earning a sly chuckle from the picture.

Grabbing the girl's sleeve, Evolette tugged at her gently, pulling her further down the corridor until they were a safe distance away from the leering pictures. "Evolette McKenna." she said by means of introduction. Noticing that the girl was a fellow Slytherin, she tried to remember if she had ever met her before. "You're friends with Cale Newell, aren't you?" she asked.

"It's probably true,"Reese said.She looked back at the picture.Yeah.He looked like a creeper.

She followed the girl further down into the corridor,well,she really didn't have a choice.Since the girl was tuging on her sleeve.When they stopped,the girl introduced herself at Evolette."Well,it's nice to meet you,Evolette,"she said with a smile.She noticed she was in Slytheirn fron her robes."Yes,I am friends with Cale,"she told Evolette."He's like my brother."She smiled slightly.

"I figured." Evolette replied offhandedly, "I thought I saw you talking to him once, probably at the beginning of last term when we were dating." Evolette just stopped herself from using air quotes, she wasn't sure if Cale had told anyone besides Anna that their relationship had been a complete fake, so she wasn't going to mention it.

She briefly wondered why she had not seen this girl around the Common Room, but brushed it off. It didn't really matter, did it?

"Wait.Hold it,"Reese said."You and Cale dated?I never heard about that."She looked at Evolette while trying to dig through her brain to see if Cale had told her.Nope.Nothing was coming up.Why did Cale keep that from her?

"So,you're a Slytherin.What year?"She asked Evolette.Evolette looked a tiny bit older but not by much.She was either a fifth year or sixth year.

Yup. This girl definitely did not know that the relationship had been fake if she hadn't even known about it in the first place. "Oh yeah, for most of the term." she said.

"Fifth year." she answered, wondering why everyone seemed to be asking her that lately. Not that it was some kind of big deal, but, it was quite sudden.

Yeah.Reese was going to be talking to Cale about his.For sure."Well,that's good to know,"she tolf Evolette.

"That's what I figured,"she said."But I sort of thought you might be a sixth year."She slightly shrugged.

Evolette raised an eyebrow at the girl. "You seemed a little put out my this news." she said, "I thought you would have known that he had been with someone when he wasn't with Anna." she shrugged, "I didn't mean to get him into any trouble."

Did she have like a thing for him or something?

Brushing her hair off of her shoulder, she looked back down the hall as she heard shouting coming from the husband and wife pictures. They were still talking about her. With an eye roll, she turned her attention on the girl once more, "What year are you in then?" she asked.

"Yeah,the news sort of took me by suprise.Cale has never mentioned going out with you,"Reese said.She was really starting to wonder if they really went out.Seriously.Cale wouldn't keep something like that from her."Are you sure you two went out?"She raised her eyebrow at her."I usually didn't think about Cale going out with anyone else other than Anna.They were pratically made for each other."

She heard the pictures arguing,again.And turne around."SHUT UP!!!"She exclaimed.Stupid pictures.She looked back at Evolette."I'm a fourth year,"she explained.

Evolette laughed, "Trust me, I'm sure. I was there." she replied, briefly relocating her gaze to her French manicure. "However, there were....extenuating circumstances, that Cale himself should be the one to tell, or not tell you."

She shrugged. "Either way. I assure you, it did happen."

"Okay,I guess I will just have to go find Cale.Talk to him about all this,"Reese said.She tapped her foot and looked around the empty corridor.She hated silent,akward coversations."So..."Wow.She didn't know what to talk about."What book are you reading?"She remember seeing Evolette holding a book a little while ago.

"Oh, just something for History of Magic." she replied, replacing her finger with a book marker to keep her spot. "I quite like the new professor." she added, wagging her eyebrows, "He's nice to look at."

Hmm. Okay. This was slightly odd now. "In fact, I should be getting back to my book now, so, maybe I'll see you around the common room." she said, "It was nice to meet you Reese." Or was it Rose? Ross? Huh.

Evolette started walking off, in the opposite direction of the common room. She needed to find a quiet spot to read her book.

Lyra moved to the second floor and pulled out another poster but paused when she heard Kayla speak to Robert. "People throw things...at this innocent face?" She looked back at Robert with a raised brow and then to Kayla. "Do tell me a story because I love stories." She snickered as she loved to hear a good story...yes indeed.

*Gabben walked up behind Lyra and grabbed the poster away before she put it up and frowned at it.* "What are the posters for away?"

*He saw the other boy walking with them and smiled.* "Sorry mate, I'm Gabber Gardner."

"Oh dear Merlin, he certainly has you fooled" Kayla remarked with a roll of her eyes. "Maybe another time" she added. "Unless of course Robert wants to elaborate."

Kayla looked at Gabben and smiled slyly. "Oh you never know Gabben, I might just drag you off somewhere. Our last conversation did get interrupted."

*Acting like he was upset he frowned at Kayla. He did feel a bit awkward after there last talk but he now wanted to have fun with her about it.* "As I said before, I doubt that will happen Ms. Prefect."

She pretended to pout at him. "Oh so now he's playing hard to get" Kayla flipped his hair as she skipped passed him. "Two can play that game" she gave him a wink over her shoulder.

"Two can play-" *He bent down to her.* "But I've already won now haven't I?"
*He then turned back to the group.*
"Now back on to these posters. Someone PLEASE tell me what they are."

First, Gabben stole the poster from her hand. Her eyes narrowed as they slowly moved in his direction. "If you wanted a poster, Mr. Gabben, I would have given you one," she raised a brow to his neediness.

"Oh for the love of all things Merlin and above, will you two just kiss and get it over with!" Lyra began snickering at Kayla and Gabben but knew that was not going to happen, or at least she thought it wouldn't. "I wish Agie were here. She would flirt with Gabben and honey...you wouldn't know what hit you by the time she left. You would have love written all over your face." She puckered up her lips and made a kissy face.

"And besides, I really want to hear this story anyway." She then looked back to Kayla and stuck out her bottom lip in a pout. "Pwetty Pwease, with sugar on top?"

She then heard Gabben request and smiled. "The Agony Aunt is an advice column for the Quill," she began as she placed a poster on the wall with a smack of her hand. "If there is any advice you would like to have answered, send in a request. You can do it anonymously as well." She had already received and anonymous letter and knew exactly who it was from, but she wasn't telling.


*click on poster for link*

*He rolled his eyes and handed her back the poster with a small laugh.* "Still don't get it but oh well." *Gabben knew he would not get his answer right now. He then smirked about Agie.*
"She may be powerful but not many girls have broken me down. I can play just as good if not better then you lot. Now whats this story?"

Walking around the corner to the second floor corridor, Chase twirled his wand and practically ran down some girls and a boy talking there. "Whoa sorry guys." he said stopping short ad saw a poster. "Whats that about ?" he asked curiously before looking around the rest of them. "Oopps sorry. Im Chase." he said giving them a bright smile. "Didnt mean to butt in."
