Across from the main doors stand four giant hourglasses filled with gemstones. The stones in the bottom indicate the current number of house points each house has earned so far.

"I don't like to think that you might be leaving, even if you say you are leaning towards staying, that could change. You are the best boyfriend I've had and, trust me, the last two boyfriends I've had were jerks; especially since one cheated on me," she said. Glancing back towards the hourglasses, she wiped some of her tears away. Gah! Seriously, she should have never left the common room. It was hard enough dealing with Mel's death and that boy's death, and now she had to wait a while to see if her boyfriend might not be coming back, and waiting for something like that just didn't go well with her.

As she was looking at the Gryffindor hourglass, she remembered that she had something to tell Jack. Something she should have told him a long time ago. By a 'long time ago', she should have told him a few months into their relationship, not when they were almost coming up on their one year anniversay.

"So, Jack, there's something I've been wanting to tell you," she spoke up after being quiet for a few seconds, and then she looked back at her boyfriend. "I should have told you this a while ago, but I wasn't sure how to tell you." Here goes nothing... "Do you know a Reese Northway? Cale and Anna might have talked about her before. Well, that's me. I use to be a Northway," she explained. "I use to live with my dad and my stepmother, who I thought was my real mom for the longest, in Sutton Coldfield, but then moved to live with my godmother due to my adopted brother. I lived with her for a year or so until my mom came down here after marrying Heath Upstead. If it wasn't for that, I might actually be living in Ireland and going to a private school. I don't know why, but my mom wanted me to move and stuff, but after meeting Heath it all changed."

She paused for a moment to think about what she was going to mention next. "Heath adopted me and my brother over the summer, because we didn't want to be a Northway anymore. That explains my last name changing. And, yes, Jake isn't my real brother and neither is Dale. Ryan, though, he's my real brother," she added. "Heath isn't my real dad, which is obvious after explaining all that, but I still call him my dad because he's more than a dad to me than my real father. Did you understand all that?" Hopefully, she didn't go too fast to where she lost Jack.

"Just because there is a SMALL possibility...and I mean like, wayyy small, we're talking microscopic--possibility that I will leave, that doesn't mean anything is going to happen between us!" Jack assured her as she pulled away from the hug.

Wait, her last boyfriend had CHEATED on her? What a...a...jerk! ~~He wanted to call him something else but it was not appropriate for the halls of a school~~. "Well, thanks for the compliment," he said, grinning and trying to lighten the mood a bit. "Trust me, NOTHING is going to change between us. Absolutely nothing," he assured her once more.

Then--Jack was not expecting this--she went into an explanation of her life story. She told him EVERYTHING...and when she was done, Jack was standing there blinking like a complete loon. THAT...was a lot of information to take in in such a short amount of time. "Northway...yeah, that's right! That's what Cale called you...it made it really difficult when I was trying to be your bod--umm, yeah, you know that part," he finished awkwardly, shaking his head.

Well...that wasn't TOO horrible. So, Reese had had a LOT of family problems. No worries...it all seemed to have calmed down now, right? Right. "I think that's cool that you have this big step family...and have things finally calmed down?" he asked, just to double check. He needed to know if any more crazy stuffs was going to happen in the future, so he could be prepared.

Adrienne stood there, contemplating the hourglasses with a pensive look on her face as she saw how the Slytherins had narrowly taken the lead. Not by any fault of her own, that she knew of, although she was fairly sure a certain Head Boy would find some reason to whine about the boots she was currently wearing. Even though they were black, and so she considered them to narrowly be following the dress code she found so annoying. He simply seemed to like finding reasons to get on her case.

And she wasn't sure she could take that right now, considering she already had the sinking feeling something was going to happen. Something she couldn't control. And sadly it had nothing to do with her birthday, since she was actually excited about that. It had more to do with the voices that kept arguing in her head about werewolves, and things she vaguely remembered doing. So she was left standing here, staring at sapphires and wondering what was going to happen when Professor Vindictus found out.

He needed to know if any more crazy stuffs was going to happen in the future, so he could be prepared.

“So, even if that small, microscopic possibility happens, nothing is going to happen between us,” Reese repeated just to make sure she heard him right. “Does that mean if that microscopic possibility happens, we’ll still stay together even if we won’t be at school together?” Maybe that was really stupid question to ask since it really did seem like that’s what he meant, but she just had to hear it from Jack to be 115% sure.

Absolutely nothing. A smile formed on her face for the first time. That smile hadn’t been seen since Jack had given her those earrings. “I trust you,” she replied. There was nothing to worry about and the Slytherin finally believed that. If Jack said nothing was going to happen, she HAD to believe him.

By the look on Jack’s face, it made her realize that throwing all that information at him at once was a bad idea. “I’m sorry if that was too much information for you,” she apologized. She went quiet when Jack spoke up, and then she nodded in reply to what he said. “I can see why it made it difficult,” she added.

“Yeah, it is kind of cool to have a...it's not that big, is it? I only have three brothers,” she replied. Three brothers weren't a lot, right? ...wrong? “Okay, maybe three brothers is a lot. Hm. I can’t remember if you met Ryan, but I know you met Dale when you came over to my house over the summer and you know Jake already,” she said. “Did you meet Ryan? Anyways, I sure do hope everything settled down. I don’t want to have to deal with Reno and my real dad, again.” The last part of what she said was said in almost a whisper.

As she was standing there, her brown eyes shifted over to the entrance of the Great Hall. Hmm. She was actually getting quite hungry now since she didn't have a lot for breakfast this morning. "Do you want to grab something to eat with me?" She asked Jack before looking back towards him. "I'm getting really hungy."

"Thinking of how we can take the lead from Sytherin?" he asked as he approached a rather pensive Adrienne on his way past the Hourglasses.

He stopped walking and watched the counters with her. The Hufflepuff one in particular. It was a shame that they were in different Houses, but they really could work together to beat Slytherin. Then it would only be a matter of ensuring that they beat Ravenclaw then. And the Ravenclaws were said to be a rather smart bunch.

He couldn't help but notice that her outfit was a lot better this time.

Adrienne had gotten so into her contemplation of the house points that it could almost have been called a trance. And someone could have set a bomb off by her and it probably wouldn't have gotten her attention, if not for the fact she would have been livid if her boots had gotten destroyed. In any case, she didn't notice anyone approaching her, and stopping to join her in her perusal of the gemstones and their movements, until Torin spoke. Blinking, she turned to look at him for a second, before arching an eyebrow. "We? Is this turning into some sort of tag team situation, houses allying to defeat a common foe?," she said facetiously, before returning her attention to the hourglasses. She knew for a fact that if the Ravenclaws didn't claw their way back up to the top, Vindictus would find a myriad of ways to torture them, and she really didn't want to deal with that.

Not along with her own internal struggles of late, and simply to amuse herself, and distract her mind from the arguing that was starting over in the silence after she had spoken, she found herself stretching a tendril of thought toward Torin. Glancing back at him, she grinned. You're learning, grasshopper, she thought toward him teasingly, knowing if she actually said anything, he might spaz out again. But as far as she knew he wouldn't be able to know her thoughts. That would be extraordinarily weird.

WhittyBitty · 11-13-2009, 02:02 AM

He nodded at what she said as he continued to watch the hourglasses. If she didn't see him gesture to her, she might have been able to read his mind and know that he agreed with her. Did she also know that Livvy thought that she was a Seer?

But moving on... "I figure that we could team up and then Hufflepuff sorta steal the first place from Ravenclaw. But you guys would still luck out. 'cause second place is always better than forth, right?"

But moving on... "I figure that we could team up and then Hufflepuff sorta steal the first place from Ravenclaw. But you guys would still luck out. 'cause second place is always better than forth, right?"

Still glancing sideways at Torin as he stood watching the hourglasses, it took all Adrienne's self-control not to do something to try and get attention back on her. But she managed to resist everything except for quietly tapping her booted foot on the ground as she waited for him to respond. And once he did, she grinned. "You really think Ravenclaw would let Hufflepuff simply steal first place from them. We already have to deal with it in Quidditch, we're not letting the House Cup away from us that easily," she teased. It bothered her a little that the best they were going to be able to do in Quidditch this term was third. But at least they could have a little more control over this.

And since she still had her ability loosely connected to his thoughts, she heard his musing over Livvy, and muffled a giggle. She knew Livvy thought something about her, and that was amusing. A Seer, really? No way.

Finally tiring of staring at sapphires, she turned to fully look at Torin, and arched an eyebrow as she had to muffle another snicker. "Um, Torin, you are aware that's not exactly appropriate school attire, right?," she drawled, internally cracking up at how much she thought she sounded like Dominic right there. Even though obviously, since he played Quidditch and all, it wasn't exactly hard to look at Torin the way he was dressed currently. If only it hadn't been Torin, cause that was almost like her thinking her brother was attractive. Which was just wrong in a milion ways.

He shrugged at her slightly figuring that despite her foot tapping she was rather amused. But mostly she was just being silly. "Well, of course. I mean I wouldn't let you beat my House. Why should I?" That was a valid point as far as he was concerned. And the Quidditch thing was interesting. Personally he cared more about that than the House Cup, as nice as that was. "Well, I can't say that me or Kaika would want Willow to get the upper hand." Well, her Team as well, but Willow was the Captain and the success of her Team depended a lot on her Coaching and the decisions she made as far as players.

And at the giggle he knew it. She had read is mind. "I hate it when you di that," he replied with a sigh and an eye roll though there was still some amusement in his voice.

And she finally noticed what he was wearing. Or more like what he wasn't wearing. Either she was more unobservant thane he had pegged her to be or she had been so preoccupied that she had had no idea what was going on besides in those hourglasses. "Well, I know it's sorta not up to the dress code here. But well... it's sort of a long story." Maybe he would just tell her to read his thoughts so that he wouldn't have to explain everything to her.

Maybe he would just tell her to read his thoughts so that he wouldn't have to explain everything to her.

Adrienne tilted her head to one side, her tousled hair hanging down, as Torin shrugged, then spoke. "So it's a deal then, We work together to dethrone Slytherin, and then to each their own. Since neither of us is going to turn our backs on our own house," she said facetiously, with another grin. And then he replied to her Quidditch comment, and she laughed a little. "I'm pretty sure Willow would reciprocate that thought. And unless you weren't paying attention at our match this term, I can be pretty dangerous with a bat myself, yknow." But then, Willow had only given her a reserve position, so she'd been lucky she'd gotten to play in the first place. Not much she could do about that now, and it was all irrelevant anyway, other than the fact they now had to play Slytherin for third place. Which actually had a weird way of looping back to the original conversation.

And then he spoke again, and she knew she hadn't muffled her giggle over Livvy as well as she thought. Feigning a sigh, she looked at Torin for a second before responding. "Well, I had to find something to do. You were just standing there." She was bored, and anything to distract herself from the voices in her head. Which she still wanted to figure out, but not right now. Not when she had to keep an eye out for angry Heads of Houses.

She could tell he was surprised she hadn't noticed his appearance earlier, but she couldn't help it. She felt a little guilty over the house points, even though she hadn't actually lost any of them. It had occupied her brain. "Long story? Mmm, I'm guessing someone felt the need to take all your shirts for some reason. Either that or some weird magical creature's roaming around and ate them," she replied jokingly. It was kind of funny to think about, really. And rampaging creatures were better than fighting against other thoughts.

He smirked at her. He really loved her wit. She was a little firecracker, Ad was. "So we shake on it then?" He held his hand out to her and tried not to laugh over the silliness of it all. "And I'll warn you that I'm better at Quidditch when I'm Beater.. and don't get my nose broken." That was still rather embarrassing for him to remember.

"Uh, huh. So my presence isn't entertaining enough?" he joked. Nah, he really didn't mind that she was bored. He was rather bored himself if he was being totally honest.

Animals.. that was a new one. "It was Lucille. This Hufflepuff that has problems with me. I had to offer my shirts to her so that she wouldn't go to Brody."

A wry smile crossed Adrienne's face in response to Torin's smirk. She could deal with him so much better than Riley, and it helped that she knew Torin wasn't about to try and insult her. And she could tell this whole deal thing was just a big game, a joke, so to speak. But she wasn't about to turn away from it. She never turned her back on some fun. Sticking her hand out, she took his and shook it, the smile never leaving her face. "Deal made. We dethrone Slytherin or else," she said with feigned seriousness, before an eyebrow raised again at his words on Quidditch. "You really think you can take me on?" Not that she had ever really gotten competitive, with friends. But she also knew Willow wasn't stupid, and if she'd put her as a beater, there was reason behind it. "And I'd just like to point out I've never broken my nose while playing," she added with another grin. He wanted to be competitve, she could play along.

"Well, your presence is entertaining when I can find ways to play with you," she drawled with a mischievous smile as he teased her about being bored. In fact, it wasn't so much boredom as a feeling that something she couldn't control was going on, and she was being dragged into it on her own without any allies. But then he was offering an explanation for his lack of shirts, and she tilted her head again appraisingly. "And what exactly did you do to make Lucille have problems with her? I mean, why was she going to go to Brody about anything?" As far as she remembered, that whole Hufflepuff relationship had kinda imploded after the deathday party she'd been at, so she didn't know why anyone would bother to get in the middle of the splinters. "I might be able to help you out, though. With shirts, not Lucille." As long as he didn't mind borrowing the few shirts of Christopher's that she'd absconded with when she'd left for school.

He smiled as they shook hands. That was Adrienne. Only she would be willing to take part in something like this. She would be fun to take on when it came down to it. But Hufflepuff would so beat Ravenclaw. "Yes, just make sure that Reese doesn't find out about this, right?" She wouldn't like hearing that he had set up to overthrow her House. Even if this was all just in good fun and nothing really serious. "I can take you on. And I don't usually break my nose playing Quidditch." Though there was still a pretty big part of himself that wanted to have a few words with the boy that had been responsible. He still remembered what he looked like. Oh yes, he wanted an apology.

He gave her an eye roll before having to launch into an explanation for the total lack of shirts on his part. "Well, she has had it in for me ever since I didn't give Warren CPR. This other girl did it instead and she started flipping out." He still didn't get it seeing as the girl had saved the boy. "Ever since then she's been weird. Wanting my shirts and all. And I have no idea why she would go to Brody about it all, but she still threatened to. And well.. things are going pretty badly between us right now." That was a pretty big understatement, but he didn't really want to go into detail about the whole Kyle thing and he wasn't sure if Ad even knew that he had been the one that found the first body. But that was brought out of his attention at the mention of shirts. "Whose are they?" Hopefully they would fit. Jack's hadn't really worked out for him.

Adrienne's grin turned even more miscievous as Torin shook her hand, since she could tell he thought he'd be able to get one over on her. But he'd be sadly mistaken if he thought she'd be anything but a fighter. And she was fairly certain several other Ravies were going to be gunning for regaining control again too, so Huffies were going down. This truce was only going to be temporary. Not that she wasn't still going to be Torin's friend after the fact. That was something that went beyond houses. "And why would I tell Reese about this?," she drawled with the hint of a laugh as he brought their mututal Slythie friend up. Even though even she had to acknowledge the relationship between Reese and Torin was probably way deeper than hers was with him. She'd only really truly met the other girl this term with the whole Team Lupa stuff, and that went back to the argument inside her head that she was trying to ignore. So she was grateful when the Quidditch talk continued. That was about as far from werewolves as could be, really. Another mischievous look crossed her face as she responded to his challenge. "You really think you could? I might surprise you, you know." he didn't know the half of her Quidditch skills. She wasn't Rose Devereaux's daughter for nothing, after all. And she grinned at his comment about broken noses. "You keep saying that, Torin, sweetie. But I still think it remains to be seen." Teasing him was just so much fun. Almost as much as her odd rapport with Phoebus.

A thoughtful look flickered past on her face as he explained the issue with Lucille, though, as she chose to ignore his eye roll. "It sounds like she feels threatened. Like, you're the safe one, and that was why she had wanted you to give Warren CPR. But why your shirts would have become her target is beyond me." She wasn't about to expend her energy trying to understand some of the other girls at school. Which was probably why she'd technically chosen to stay out of the whole Brody situation. It was just safer for her. "I'm sorry. That things are going badly," she said in response to his comment, feeling a little awkward. But then his mood seemed to change at her mention of shirts, and she brightened. "Well, they're kinda my brother's. Not Riley, my older brother Christopher." Lowering her voice a little, as if she was afraid of being overheard, she contuinued. "I might have kinda, um, borrowed," okay, stolen, "some of his shirts to use for nightshirts or something. but I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I let you use them. Since you're a friend in need and all." And lucky for him Christopher was taller than Riley. If he even chose to take her up on her offer.

Not that she wasn't still going to be Torin's friend after the fact. That was something that went beyond houses. "And why would I tell Reese about this?," she drawled with the hint of a laugh as he brought their mututal Slythie friend up. Even though even she had to acknowledge the relationship between Reese and Torin was probably way deeper than hers was with him. She'd only really truly met the other girl this term with the whole Team Lupa stuff, and that went back to the argument inside her head that she was trying to ignore. So she was grateful when the Quidditch talk continued. That was about as far from werewolves as could be, really. Another mischievous look crossed her face as she responded to his challenge. "You really think you could? I might surprise you, you know." he didn't know the half of her Quidditch skills. She wasn't Rose Devereaux's daughter for nothing, after all. And she grinned at his comment about broken noses. "You keep saying that, Torin, sweetie. But I still think it remains to be seen." Teasing him was just so much fun.

"Because she will get annoyed with me," he replied to her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Everyone knew that Reese and him bickered like siblings. And he really didn't need to deal with her getting all Reeselike with him over the House points. Even if this deal thing was only a joke. And the Quidditch talk.. He loved it. "Oh, you have no idea, Ad. I'd be very afraid if I were you." He gave her a playful wink.

Her take on the Lucille was interesting. "I think she's just evil." No need to go an further than that. He then moved on to the more important matter at hand, which was the shirts. "Why, you little thief," he told her with a tone that showed how impressed he was by that. "Well, that would be great. If they fit."

Adrienne couldn't help but giggle a little at the matter-of-fact way Torin answered her question about Reese. It just sounded a lot like how she dealt with pretty much everyone she was friends with, not to m,ention the way she dealt with Riley haf of the time. "Well, we wouldn't want that," she teased, "but technically that didn't actually answer my question." Considering she'd asked why she'd tell Reese, not how Reese would react if she did. To be honest, she hadn't really seen a lot of the Slytherin girl since the planning for the strike on Lupa, and since as far as she knew they hadn't gotten caught, she didn't know what was going on. But she grinned in response to Torin's wink. He really thought he was better than her, which was highly amusing. "You really think you scare me? Just cause you're bigger than me doesn't make you better," she pointed out facetiously, looking up at him in amusement.

Hmm, he really had an opinion on this Lucille person, which almost made her wish she had met the girl. At least, maybe then she'd understand what was going on there. "Evil, huh? Strong words there, Torin. Ever thought maybe she knows you think she's evil, and that's why she's so antagonistic toward you?," she commented, a thoughtful expression on her face, before all thoughts of the Hufflepuff girl, evil or not, fled at his response to her explanation about the shirts. Feigning a shocked look, she widened her eyes as she fought not to smile. "I never said I stole them . . .," she replied innocently, even though she was fairly certain he'd see right through her facade. Especially since she wasn't oblivious to the hint of an impressed tone to his voice. "I'd need to run back up to the dorm to get them, but I think they might fit." He was big, but not that big, and he'd never seen Christopher.

Mystic strolled up to the hourglasses to see where Slytherin stands in house points. She as just came back to school from a family emergency.
Looking up to the hourglasses she thought second place by two points. "Not bad," she told herself.
