Prefect's Bathroom
 

Only Prefects & Quidditch Captains may post in this thread.

This was what she had been waiting for since she became quidditch captain. The prefect's bathroom. It was rumored to have a tub the size of a hot tub. She was giddy as she practically skipped down the corridor toward the bathroom. She wouldn't have to fight with other students or Myrtle to get some peace and quiet in the bathroom.

It was going to be pure heaven. And she could sit in the front of the mirror and change her hair color to her hearts delight.

She gave the password and the portrait swung open. She took a deep breath and walked in. It wasn't like her bathroom at home, her closet wasn't here for one thing and this bathroom was bigger. Hmm, she wondered if she could talk her dad into expanding her bathroom. She walked around taking in the bathroom. This was the life. No wonder Anna toes the line and smiled and geeked at all the professors if this was the thanks you got. It would be nice if they had a private dining room too. Hmm, might need to suggest that to Professor Vindictus.

A faint sniffling, whining sound came from one of the pipes near the pearly bathtub.

She was just about to start a bath to take a relaxing soak and unwind when she heard the faint sniffling sound. She stopped and looked up. She heard it again, and she bent down to hear where it was coming from. "Oh no," it was coming from one of the pipes. She sighed and sat down on the edge of the tub. "Come on out Myrtle and tell me whats wrong." She called to the weepy ghost. If she was going to have a relaxing bath she needed to make Myrtle happy.

The sound of whining, echoing wailing seemed to increase tenfold when Paris spoke up.

"NNnnnnnnnnnnNOOOOOO!" the ghostie screeched from somewhere up around the bend in the pipe. "You'll jjjust, you'll just," she sniffled loudly and it distinctly sounded like she was swallowing snot, "you'll jjust kick me ooooouuuuttt like evvvverybodddy does. Or you'll ffforget about meeeeee."

The term had been in session like a whole WEEK and no one had come to visit Myrtle. For shame, Hogwartians.

Couldn't she get a relaxing bath anywhere? Was that too much to ask? She covered her ears as Myrtle wailed. She had to cover her mouth at the other noises she was making. Myrtle was going to make Paris puke if she kept this up. "I won't kick you out Myrtle if you let me have a relaxing bath after we sort out your problems," Paris told her.

We. Hmm, Myrtle liked this word. It almost made her seem like she had ffffriends or something.

SCCHHHHHQUEEELLLLLLLLLLLLCHHHHHHH!

With a wet, loud little POP! the grey ghostie was out of the pipe and floating horizontally on top of the bathwater.

"I think that sounds reasonable," Myrtle agreed solemnly, not a sign of tears on her face. Either she was very good at making whining sounds by now or she had, in fact, not been crying at all.

She eyed the Quidditch captain quizzically. "What's your naaaaame?"

Yes, not the Common Room, it could be too crowded. And she forgot something else she had to finish, but the Library began to feel very crowded after a while, weird.

However, Kaika was not expecting to find people here. Oh, right, a ghost and someone else. Still, people. Because that was Myrtle, if she was on the right track.

And...someone else she didn't know, maybe, it was hard to see. "Oh, sorry" she said, the moment after she entered the Prefects Bathroom. "Why, hello Myrtle..." hopefully she didn't get the ghost's name wrong. They could be quite unreasonable sometimes.

Ooooh OOOOOH! So now everyone wanted to spend time with Myrtle in her perfect pretty Prefect loo. Well, duh, she was the bestest, prettiest ghostie. Who wouldn't want to chat with her?

"Why helllllllllo Huffypuffy," the ghost called out in an oddly sweet tone, floating right-side up to squint at the girl's badge. "Oooh, I mean, Captain Huffypuffy." Myrtle giggled her ear-splitting laugh. "Do you happen to know my Jakey Wakey Knight in Shining Armour? He's a Huffypuff too, I mean, when he's not off tickling dragons and allll."

Giggle giggle.

Kaika smiled. Surely, this will distract Myrtle from whoever needs some space, no?

Not that she was looking to distract anyone, though. "Yes, Captain" she nodded, there were only two choices for those who came in here, either Prefect or Captain, and Myrtle got that one right. At least someone got amazing attention to detail, considering the amount of people that didn't notice her badge before.

"Jakey Wakey?" she had to ask, because that was quite an odd name, wasn't it? "You mean, Jake...Upstead?" yes, he was one boy with dragons, alright. And he was a Hufflepuff as well, it had to be him.

Knight in Shining Armour? Now, that was doubtful, considering how the boy ended running away from that Peruvian Vipertooth last year.

She nodded. "See thats all it takes. You don't have to cry all the time." She pointed out to her. That was a sure fire way to drive people away.

Paris pulled the towel she had around her body tighter around her body. Even though Myrtle used to he a girl Paris didn't want to give the ghost anything to memorize on her body. "My name is Paris Greenwood." She told Myrtle. "We did meet last term you know," was she upset that a ghost didn't remember her name? Yes she was.

Paris looked up as someone else entered the bathroom. Well Paris had already filled the tub with water so either the girl was going to have to get in line and cover her eyes or come back tomorrow for a bath. "Its ok. The more the merrier it seems," She told her.

"Jakey Wakey....Upstead?" The ghost shrugged. She might have been a Ravenclaw but that didn't mean she had to memorize naaaaaaames.

"Is he smart and cute and did he ever like, get his head dunked in a toilet?" Because that's how she had met him, right? Right.

"Don't try telling me what to do," Myrtle sniffffffled loudly. "I'm allowed to cry. I'm deceased. No one mourned meee so I have to mourn myself."

Honestly, this captain should get her head out of the clouds and pick up a history book now and then. Surely someone had written volumes about the amazing, awesome, moaning moping Myrtle by now.

"Paris, okay, like, I'll remember you now. If you come visit me." She nodded and adjusted her glasses. Was the girl wearing a towel? She was really going to take a bath here? Ewwwww what happened to Cutie Cliffie of Delicious Dominic? Why couldn't theyyyyy take a bath today?

Kaika repressed a laugh, "Right" she said, and turned her back to the girl, quill at hand, she started to rewrite a few sentences of her Transfiguration homework.

"Don't mind me, I was just...looking for a less crowded place" yes, the Slytherin Captain could take all the time in the world she wanted. Kaika was simply rewriting homework and talking to Myrtle. Nothing more. As soon as she was done, she'll be out.

"I don't know about the 'Wakey' part, but there's one Jake in Hufflepuff..." she started to say, and thought for a moment before moving on, yes, only one Jake.

Still, maybe Myrtle knew something more about the boy, "Was he a first year when you met him?" if he was then that was the same boy, and if he was the same boy, then they were in trouble.

"Well, he's a Hufflepuff, so, yes he's smart..." maybe not smart enough to know that no one messes with Kazimeriz, "...and cute, yes, that too" pretty lovable as well, or so Kaika liked to think. Honestly, if the Captain truly knows him she wouldn't be so fond of him. "But, you're a bit mistaken about one thing if we're talking about the same boy" suspense.

someone called for the delicious Dominic, me thinks... ;)
 

Speaking of boys.

That voice. She simply froze. Didn't need to look up to see who it was. And didn't want to look up either. What was the point of looking up when Dominic Denton was in the same room?

Her cheeks were...pink again? No way of telling, since she was not going to look up. Not looking up. Maybe...a little? No!

Wait. He'd apologized. Oh, dear Merlin! He should, to the Slytherin Captain that is.

Captain?!

Does Dominic has a thing for Captains, now? No, because clearly he never meant to be stuck in a room with two Captains. Maybe Willow should join their party right now. Willow. Kaika couldn't help to narrow her eyes a bit. There. Now she could face Dominic without her cheeks being all silly pink.

Kaika set her quill away from the parchment and looked up, her eyes looking straight at the newcomer, "Denton, I suggest you leave" she said, and she was slightly surprised at how bitter her tone was, slightly surprised and proud, by the way.

It was like talking to one of her little brothers. Honestly!

"I wasn't telling you want to do Myrtle," she said tiredly. She didn't have the energy to argue with her today. She just wanted a bath! "Well we can hang out here and talk sometimes if you want." Paris offered. Myrtle wasn't all that bad when she wasn't flirting or crying.

She nodded to the girl. "I can understand that. Thats why I'm here too." She pointed out to her as she dipped a leg in the warm water. The bubbles were turning shades or purple and some of them were the size of beach balls.

She looked up as someone else entered the bathroom and it was Dominic Denton!! She had of course wore dresses that covered less that what the towel was covering, but this was a intimate setting and all she had on was a towel. So freaking out is a totally normal response right now. "Dominic!" she squee grasping at that already too tight towel. he was just standing there like he didn't see her about to take a bath.

"Oh I'm sure it's him," Myrtle giggled. She was just about hanging on every word of Kaika's little speech....until the girl mentioned mistaken? Myrtle? Mistaken??!

Neverrrrrrrrr.

"What's that?" the ghostie inquired curiously. Her mouth hung open just a little bit until the door to the bathroom popped open again....

....and that Delicious Big D strutted in. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Now that boy was one sweet piece of puff.

"Hhihhiiiiiii Prefect Dominicnicnicccc," Myrtle stammered, immediately floating up to the boy's side and batting her eyelashes. "Need some help with your bath? I think Paris already drew some water for youuuuu."

She tapped his nose with her icy-cold finger and giggled again. Heheee. Now this was what the bathroom was for.

"Okay!" Myrtle smiled toward the captain. Yes, she was actually smiling at her. Funny how the ghost just lit up when a boyyyyyyy was around.

Why in the name of canaries did the two females in the bathroom have to be the last two he would prefer? Heck! He would rather have had twenty Vanessa's then these two... Because at least Vanessa was like pocket-sized. He could tolerate her - and she him - most of the time, anyway.

Gaze flickering over towards the Hufflepuff Captain, Dominic's eyebrows narrowed in shock. Was she . . . blushing!? Though the sixth year realized he probably was not supposed to see that and looked away, contemplating that leaving thing again quite seriously now.

Until. She spoke to him, quite bitterly too. The first time since before ... well, the ordeal last term. So it was no wonder her tone was as such.

"No need to suggest that, Lockhart," he replied, meeting her gaze and tone with equal bitterness.

Except. Why should he have to leave? Even if Paris did squeal at the sight of seeing a male in the bathroom - which was of course a co-ed bathroom, since there were both males and females who could use it. But seriously, it wasn't really like he could give two chocolate frogs about Paris Greenwood or her feminine self.

Nonetheless, she was self-conscious. Surprising though for a Slytherin.

"You know, there are males who are entitled to use this bathroom. And well, I didn't even know that you were allowed? What - may i ask - is your reasoning that privies you to use of this private area?" Dominic inquired, paying no mind now to her intimate apparel, as the shock at worn off, so to him, it was like she was completely dressed.


... Oh, Myrtle was here. And what was this!??! She wanted him to take a bath!? Oh NO! There was absolutely no way that he was going to be taking a bath with Myrtle, Kaika, AND Paris around!

"Hello Myrtle," Dom greeted politely, ignoring her stammer and obvious fawning and flirting over him. Urgh... Newell was good to have left Hogwarts for this main reason here. Lucky boy.

And then, she tapped his nose, causing him to jerk his head back slightly out of instinct. "Uh... No thanks, Myrtle. I am not sure, but I do think that Paris drew the water for herself though." At least that's why I would guess she is wearing nothing but a towel

"Yup.. I think, I was uh, just dropping by," he smiled vaguely at the ghost, and the two females in there before turning to leave. Oh yes... Escape was like a necessity now!

It was no used talking to Myrtle now that she had spotted a boy. But she was glad that Myrtle was now distracted by a boy maybe she could get a decent bath and relax.

Her tempered flared at how he said you. Like she wasn't worthy of anything special. "I don't have to explain anything to you Denton, and as this is a password protected area and I am on the right side of the door I have every right to be here as you do." She was seething."I am aware that this is a coed bathroom but the other males that use this bathroom would have had the manners to see it was occupied and turned around and left and came back at a later time." She said trying to keep her temper in check before she shoved Dominic into the bath water. "No where did it say that you had to be informed of every change that went on in this castle." She didn't usually hate people, but she honestly hated Dominic Denton. "I am the new Slytherin quidditch captain and therefore I have ever right to use this bathroom." Her chest was rising and falling slowly and she was about to run out of oxygen from how tight she had it around herself.

If she passed out she wondered if they would leave her there or take her to the hospital wing. That would be funny to see Dominic standing there weighting the pros and cons of taking her or leaving her.

lol
 

But, clearly, the Slytherin Captain didn't intended for Prefect Denton to step inside at this right moment, no?

Yes, probably not. This was awkward, to say the least. Kaika should've stayed at the Library. Next time, Library, always and forever. There.

Man, she totally forgot Myrtle was there! At least there was someone nice to talk to. But...not too nice things, though, considering the little conversation they were now having.

"Oh, then I guess we have a problem" she started to explain, and since Dominic was not going to be listening then there was no problem in stating the obvious, "Well, not a problem, really" she added, and smiled, yes, smiled.

She needed something to smile for, that will clear her head a bit, "See, your Knight in Shining Armour is not precisely yours" she could've stuck her tongue out like a little child, but didn't.

"Jake...he's my little sweet Huffie boy" she stated, though, the boy in question wasn't anyone's possession.

See? Now that was a mistake.

His eyes were amongst the most beautiful things in the world. And she's seen the Antipodean Opaleye very closely. :P

However, that didn't match the tone in his voice. 'Lockhart'. Ouch! That really hurt. And, she'll be remembering that for quite a while, probably, since Bludgers hurt way less and she still remembers how much Tancred hurt her arm.

Yet, someone might expect the sixteen year-old to look away, and she didn't. Her eyes kept fixed on Dominic. "I could easily suggest a lot of other things as well, Prefect" like, for instance, 'Keep Out of the Quidditch Pitch'.

First, that would be awesome if he did. She didn't know how much it hurt to actually see the boy, and it might be worse if she saw him play. Because everything looks much better when Quidditch is involved, right?

Second, there's no guarantee of who will the Bludgers take as a target, and hurting Dominic's face won't be so nice.

Third, well, why should he play Quidditch in the first place?

Fourth, and most importantly, she arrived first at Hogwarts, therefore, the Pitch belongs to her. Ummm, well, no, it belongs to the school, but still, it sounds quite fair if someone weights who's been here the longest between those two, no?

Now, why wasn't Dominic leaving? Oh, and now Myrtle wanted him around? Perfect.

Her eyes turned away from Dominic, reluctantly, by the way, towards the Slytherin Captain.

Oh, how much she wanted to be able to speak that way, especially to the same one that Captain was talking to. Though, she was partially right in what she was saying. Partially, because, well, Kaika could be a bit biased in favoring the Prefect, not out loud, though.

She was now liking this girl very, very, very much. And at the same time she knew this was someone she should be in good terms with. And...she was breathing too loud. Way too loud. Not good. "Ermm...You should...sit down and...maybe breathe slowly?" she suggested, and stood up. No one could know if the girl was going to need assistance in something.

*couldn't help herself*
 

now all we need is a lion and a claw and we got ourselves a party:)
 

It was getting hard to breath and the towel seemed to be getting tighter the madder she got and the more she ranted. She was going to make herself pass out if she keep yelling at Denton. He was bad for her health for Merlin's sake! "I'm fine, thank you." she forced out.

Why of course another person would have to walk in. It was like that muggle prank that college students did trying to cram as many people as they could into a phone booth. She didn't know who this girl was however. Maybe she should run down the corridors in her towel that way everyone could get a nice gander all at once and they wouldn't have to keep barging in on her bath.

That thought gave her a giggle and it made the towel go tighter around her chest. She waved at the girl anyways. "Hi," she said to the girl her face going red.

Was she about to pass out...naw. She wouldn't do that.

-Snickers-
 

now THIS is fun...Angie <3
 

Someone else entered? She didn't know this place could be so full of people. Not at this hour, by the way.

Oh, it was Vannie! Kaika smiled, "Hey! Congrats on the Prefect thing, by the way" she nodded, this was the first time she'd seen Vanessa throughout the new school year, and clearly she hadn't said 'congratulations'. It could be slightly amusing to have Vanessa as a Prefect, though.

But, thank goodness someone she knew, and liked very much, decided to step inside.

Still, Kaika was now standing, there was no reason to sit when everyone around was standing as well. If Dominic wasn't taller than her, she could be the tallest in the room, but no...see? He always ruined things.

"If...you say so" a shrug came to her shoulders, not that she cared too much, but the girl needed to calm down a bit, or they'll be seeing her on the floor, that is.

Though, who could calm down in this situation?

What?! Who else was going to come inside?!

Kaika's eyes widened in surprise (should she be surprised at all that this happened?) as she noticed who it was. Honestly, things couldn't have turned out better today.

Having the sight of both Willow and Dominic in the same room was NOT at all great for her. Were they trying to kill her? This situation was neither good for the Hufflepuff Captain nor the Slytherin one. Now, Vanessa was more than welcome to stay, the other two, not so much.

But her response was something she didn't expect, "Hey Willow! How was your summer?" simple, nice, and with a smile?! Yes, a smile to the Ravenclaw Captain, because she was not responsible for Dominic Denton existence, was she? Nope, so why Kaika couldn't be nice to the girl?

Still, this whole thing was a bit awkward, to say the least. And now her eyes were nowhere near the only boy in the room. Who was, maybe, hoping he'd never stepped inside the Prefect's Bathroom today.

*grins*
