Yeah... completely normal. Not weird at all.

Livvy smiled and nodded her head. "Yup. That's me. The one and only. Unless you know of another Livvy," she said, shrugging her shoulders. Yeahhh... most likely not. Throughout her six years at that school, never once had she met another Olivia. Which was nice. There'd be no confusion. "Livvy who?"

She blinked. He had seen her before? And that's when she remembered and she grinned largely. "OH YEAH! I remember! In the Armor Gallery. With Raven. The whole... situation thing..." Livvy had been too busy comforting Raven that she hardly took him in.

"I think there is as much a chance that I know another Livvy as you know another Torin," he replied with a smile. The girl seemed a bit uncomfortable to him. He wasn't sure if it was because of the circumstances, or if she was just like this in general when meeting new people.

But she did seem to remember seeing him now. That was a plus. "Yep. I'm going to miss Raven. It sucks as to why she has to leave." But he would never tell Livvy anything. He had promised Raven and he kept his word.

Ha. Snooort. Livvy grinned and just shrugged. "You never know, can you? Maybe someone wants to go under the disguise as you," she suggested. It was possible. Wasn't it? Jealous people... vengeful people... they could try to pretend to be a Torin. Yeah. Totally. Doy.

The Ravenclaw girl tried to ease up a little. After all, it's not like he was interrogating her or anything. There was nothing to hide.

"Oh yeah... that's terrible. I've only known her for a short while but I'm going to miss her too. It's rather confusing though. I don't get why she has to leave. Mmm. She said she didn't want to tell us, so I guess it's really personal," Livvy said, biting her lip in deep contemplation. She wondered to do something for the girl. Something. Just. Something. To help ease up the confusion and pain that Livvy could imagine she was going through.

He snorted. "You mean maybe a spy like you? Oh, maybe they're wanting to infiltrate the Hufflepuff Common Room. 'cause I can't think of any other reason why someone would want to disguise themselves as me." He was thinking of how much fun it must be to be a spy. Maybe in another life he would become one. But for now he was focusing on his dream of being a baker by day and paparazzi by night. That and a superhero.

He nodded. "Me and her have made a lot of plans. Shifty plans that no one can know about." Okay, not really, but still. He wasn't going to tell her what he and Raven were planning to do. "It's just bad.. them making her return to her old school. It's so wrong."

Livvy grinned and placed her hands on her hips. Well well... the boy caught on mighty quick. "EXACTLY! A spy. Or maybe someone that just wants to take over your lifestyle," she said, thinking for a moment before pondering on what the boy said next. "Ehhh... find out the top secret Quidditch tips?" THERE was an idea. Not that the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team would ever admit to Hufflepuff that they were better than them. Even though they did in fact win last term. DARNNIT.

Blink blink. He couldn't find a reason why anyone would want to be him? Had he even been listening to Livvy when she was telling him how FAMOUS he was? Obviously not. Pfft. Men.

"Oh realllehhh? Top secret, eh?" Livvy asked, intrigued as she waggled her eyebrows at him humorously. "I know. It's outrageous. That's what I say. Outrageous! What right do they have to make Raven go back?" she demanded, placing her hands on her hips once more with a narrowed expression. At nothing, in particular.

"My lifestyle?" he replied with a smirk. What lifestyle? "I sorta have the same lifestyle as most people here. I have friends and I study." But oh, she was onto something with that comment about the Quidditch Team. "Oh, what if they are planning to be me during the Quidditch match and throw off the game?" That would totally suck. And he would be made out to be a bad Beater, which he was anyway.

And there was the blinking. "Why are you blinking?" Maybe she thought that he was weird after all.

He laughed at the eyebrow wiggling. "Not going to work. But I'll tell you this much that when it happens you will know who s behind it." He winked at her. But now she was moving onto territory that could be dangerous for him. He didn't want to say anything that would give away why Raven was leaving. He didn't want to break his promise to her. "Well... they are a prodigious school, so they have power. And well.. she has no other choice"

Yeah yeah yeah. Who didn't study? ... Gryffindors. Nehhh... Hogwarts was a studyriffic school! "Didn't I tell you that you're FAAAAMMOUS at this school?" Livvy asked, cocking her head to the side. Famous. FAMOUS. Yeah. Dat's right. Torin... whateverhislastnamewas... is FAMOUS.

OHDEAR. That was a PEEEERRFECT plan. She should suggest it to Willow. Mmm-hmmm. Yup. Except she was needed. As a Chaser. Which was odd. Livvy usually beated for the games, but now she was a Chaser. How... different. Might be nice though. Livvy hoped that Willow would be able to throw in a few practices for her to grow accustomed to not having a bat in her hand all the time. She'd feel like she was forgetting something or that something was missing.

"Well... THAAAT wouldn't be good. Make sure no one goes near ya head!" Livvy said, pointing a finger at him. Polyjuice Potion. Don't want anyone to be cooking one of those anytime soon. Especially with Quidditch games approaching.

Blink? "Cuz' I can. It's a semi-involuntary movement you know. Men tend to blink half as much as women do. I myself blink around fifteen times per minute, which means I blink..." Livvy stopped to do the math in her head. "Nine hundred times per hour and..." How many times per day? "I blink 21,600 times a day. Do you want me to stop blinking for you? I'd rather not because it hurts your eyes and makes them water." ... NERD.

Livvy snorted and laughed. "Okay Torin. Whatever happens next, I'll be sure to know that you were the one behind it."

No other choice? ... Didn't Raven say she did? Confused, she cocked her head to the side and scratched it. Eh... she didn't really want to pry anymore than she already was. If Raven wanted to tell her, she would. Wouldn't do her any good if she pushed.

Famous? Hardly. "Um, I dunno about that one. I mean... there are people here a lot more 'famous'" he made air quotes, "than me." Not that he was famous.. But soon this girl would give him a big head despite himself. He had to fight that though; he didn't want to develop a Warren complex.

"Yep, I'll have to be careful. And don't you be heading over to Willow and telling her about this because I actually believe her capable of orchestrating something like that." He shuddered, being sorta serious. That girl could be pretty ruthless at times as far as he knew.

And now she was going on about blinking. He knew all that she was telling him already though. Apparently he was as big a nerd as she was or something. "I knew all that already," he replied with a smirk.

"Thank you. It will add to my fame." He rolled his eyes at her.

And he also felt sorta bed for not being able to tell her more when she was obviously worried about Raven. "Maybe if you ask her she can tell you everything. She probably trusts you now." It was just an assumption, but she did seem to like Livvy enough for comforting her.

The boy didn't know it. Well at least he was humble, no? But he was right. There was definitely more people that were more 'famous' than him. "That's true. Like Pernie and Plymmie.... and Cela... they're all a famous lot," Livvy said, nodding her head in agreement as she listed off more people in her head.

WHUUT? She'd never! "Of course not! I would NEVER tell Willow!" Livvy said, faking a gasp and presented him with an innocent smile. NEVER! Pfft. Yeah right. LIIIIEEE.

He knew? Well wasn't he a smarty pants? "But then why were you asking me why I was blinking? It's a normal habit. Unless it's irregular in your opinion. If you'd like, I can stop," she said, grinning. This was so fun.

"It WIIIILL. And then you'll become famous! Like... like... Brad Pitt!" Yeah. Brad Pitt. He was famous.

Livvy smiled at Torin's attempt to reassure her and comfort her for not knowing Raven's complete story. "It's okay Torin. I want to give her space, you know? But I might come up to her later."

He smiled at her, glad that she was focusing on other people now. Truthfully he had been worried about getting a big head and he really didn't want that. Nothing like being humble to save you from arrogance. "Yeah, they are cool. I don't really know Cela well, but she's nice." He remembered how she had offered him chocolate. She hadn't known why he was down, but she still wanted to cheer him up.

"Mmhmm.." he replied with a smirk on his face that told her that she wasn't fooling him. Not that he was positive that Willow would actually do anything. This was more for the fact of telling the Captain in the first place.

And now she was being silly with him. "I was more referring to why you were blinking at me in that instance than anything else. I don't think I want you to stop blinking period." Not that she really would do that of course. She didn't want to dry out her eyes.

"You mean I'm not as famous as Brad Pitt now?" he asked gasping at her and acting like she had just crushed him.

He nodded as she said she would wait and see. "Okay then, that's probably the best idea. Hopefully she will be less upset soon." He just knew that he didn't like seeing Raven cry.

Now all of THOSE people were famous. Except for her. Olivia Zhang. No one ever knew her. And she actually liked it that way. It was nice to be invisible sometimes. Notice. SOMETIMES. "Oh... Cela. She is such a sweet girl. And so... enthusiastic. There's so much energy bundled up in that petite body," Livvy said, grinning as she shook her head. Not that she, Olivia, was a tall girl. She was short. Unbelievably short. RIDICULOUSLY short.

"What? I wouldn't," she said, sticking her tongue out for a moment and then bounced on her toes happily. Even if she did tell Willow though, the girl would be too honest and ignorant to take the idea. She'd want to win fair and square. Which... was... well... reasonable.

Umm... why WAS she blinking at him at that moment? Livvy chuckled and scratched her head. "Um.... I don't really remember why... Umm.............. Maybe it's your 'good looks' that caused such a profuse amount of blinkage," she said, winking her eye at him. Ha. Ha. Giggle snort.

"Aww... now now," Livvy said, grinning as she patted him on the back. "It's okay. Brad Pitt is pretty hard competition. He wins. Hands down. Sorry Torin, buddy." YEAAAAHHH BWAD PWITT.

Smiling she nodded her head. "Yeah. I hope so too. She'll be fine. I know she will. It'll just take time."

He nodded. "She is like Tammy and Shana. Reese... Vannie." The list went on. "Oh, and Professor Bunbury!" He just had to add her there. He was still thinking about his visit with her earlier and how she had actually been sorta nice to him. Imagine Bunbury telling him that he was a pleasure to talk to... And now he was drifting off into his own thoughts.

So he was totally lost about her next comment. "You wouldn't what?" he asked as he tried to remember what they were talking about. Then he remembered. Willow.

He snorted at her once again. "Uh huh, my good looks. Right." He looked at her and wondered what she was talking about.

He sniffled as she patted him on the back. "You just ruined all my dreams in one go there, Livvy. I dunno if I'll ever be able to heal." Aah, being melodramatic could be a lot of fun.

He smiled at her. "Yep, she's tough. I wouldn't want to duel with her." Not that he didn't think that he could take her. It just was that she could be a pretty ruthless fighter from what he imagined.

Nod. Nod. Livvy didn't know who any of these people were, except for Reese. But she was just going to go with da flooow. "Professor Bunbury? I guess she and Cela are similar in a way..." she said, thoughtfully. Speaking of Bunbury, Livvy couldn't help but remember her discussion with Cam the previous term at the bonfire thingy. Cannibalistic Bunbury. Hmm.

Speaking of cannibalism, she should check up on Cam about how the hobo population was doing. Apparently to the Slytherin boy, hobo extinction would be the cause of an apocalypse. HA. Yeah right. But you could never be too sure.

And since she was thinking about hobos, she didn't know what Torin was talking about. "Hmm? What'd I say? I wouldn't what?" Livvy asked, confused. Hobos? Cannibalism? Oh right. Willow.

"YEAHHH. You're good looks," she said, nodding her head with a smirk. "Most definitely. Knocked me off my feet, you sure did."

OHNOEZ!

Livvy was the killer of one's dreams! How could she ever forgive herself? O: "Aww... Torin. Maybe you should set a different benchmark for yourself? Um... how about... Bruce Willis? Or Johnny Depp? Or Edward Cullen? I'm sure you could beat them," she said, nodding her head with a grin. They're pretty much a hundred years old. Make room for the youngsters!

Livvy laughed. "I take it that you've seen her duel before?"

"Yeah! Professor Bunbury is amazing," he replied without thinking, letting some of his hero worship for her show through. But then who in this school didn't know he had a crush on her? Even Professor Lawson was in on the know about that one.

"I.. don't.. know," he replied slowly as once again he had forgotten about what they were talking about. Professor Bunbury had the power to make him forget things it seemed. Or whatever.

"Riiight. My good looks. I don't buy that for a second." He folded his arms across his chest. There was no way that she was being serious here. He refused to believe that she was 'cause she was talking utter nonsense.

And Edward Cullen? Seriously? Okay he could get the others. Johnny Depp had been amazing.. but Edward Cullen from Twilight?? "Oh please. I could outdo Cullen in my sleep." He snorted. And this wasn't just a new found arrogance talking here.

HEEEHHH? Livvy raised an eyebrow at him and grinned. Did Torin have a little crush on Professor Bunbury. Now... you had to know. Livvy hadn't known Torin had existed before today, so obviously, why should she know that the boy was infatuated with the Herbology professor? No way possible. But she could detect it from Torin's dazed eyes.

Livvy just shrugged. "Oh well," she said, grinning. She tended to forget about the conversations she had. Plus, Cam's theories were so deep, complex, and ridiculous, that they always made her mind drift away.

WHUUUT? He didn't trust her?! It was true! Actually. It wasn't really true. Livvy honestly couldn't tell whether the boy had 'good looks' or not. But who cared? "Well... you SHOULD buy it. Cuz' it's the truth, otherwise you'll hurt my feelings," she said, pouting as she puckered her bottom lip and let it tremble ever so slightly.

Tehe. Well, Livvy thought that most of the kids at the school LIKED Twilight. Guess not. She had only heard of it, but in her opinion, the plot was rather lame and the movie trailer seemed idiotic. And she didn't really see why so many kids liked it. It was a failed attempt to capture the essence and true nature of vampires and to make it into a romance story? BLEEECH.

"Please, Torin. Everyone could outdo him. I just threw him in there to give you an easier benchmark. Nothing better to raise the self-esteem with an easy target," she said, grinning at her brilliant plan. "And then you'll have to try beating Nelson Mandela. No offense. But that's a lost cause there."

Oh, the eyebrow raise and grin. So she had worked it out. Not too surprising really. He raised his hands in fake surrender and said, "you got me." It didn't really matter that she knew now. Even Dom somehow knew and he sure as hell never told him. This place was way too filled with gossipers.

And now she was pouting at him. "Okay, if you say so I believe you," he told her with a smile. He seriously didn't really buy what she was saying still but he didn't want to have to deal with a pouting girl. And compliments were always nice even if they weren't said in total truth.

And now he was laughing again. "So I'm not the only one that doesn't care for Twilight. That series ruined Vampire myths." He shook his head and wondered how anyone could love Vampires that sparkle. Total injustice to the real Vampires in the world. Not that he really cared for Vampire feelings. "But did you have to put Nelson Mandela after Edward? That's quite a huge leap for me. And it's especially not fair since as you had told me, it's impossible.

Lucille lay in the middle of the corridor. Why? Because she was tired..

And when you're tired, you need a lie down. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing.

It's good for you.

But she couldn't doze off, with people trapsing up and down the corridor and talking and steppiing on her. NOT GOOD.

She sighed, crossed her arms up over her ears and shut her eyes tight.

Samson was just trying to get back to the Common Room. Why was he here? Stupid moving staircases. Rawr!

Walking absently around the Third Floor Corridor, he wanted to get to the other side, to another staircase that hopefully wasn't going to move and mislead him, when he tripped.

AAAAH!

Fall on face. Samson clambered to his knees, and looked around to see what he had tripped on.

A girl.

Merlin, was she dead?!

"Oy!" he probed, poking her rib in the process.

"Gahhh!" Cried Lucille, her eyes flying open. What was it with these people! Couldn't a girl sleep in peace?!

"Whaaaaa?" She grunted, wincing at the sharp poking sensation in her ribs. "Cut it out! I dont-"

She looked up, and noticed a boy she had "helped" in astronamy.

"Oh haii!" she said, not getting up form her position on the floor.

Heh heh. Giggle, snort. Of course she got him. She was... after all... a supa spy, right? Though, technically she didn't. It was a joke. But Torin didn't need to know that right? 'Course not. It was best to let him think that she was oh so powerful and was all stealthy like. Then he'll think twice if he ever decided to mess with her.

Livvy grinned as Torin laughed. That was a good sign right? Hmm... possibly a potential friendship? That was good. Livvy needed new friends. Some other people to distract her from what went on between the whole drama between her, Rachel, and Reid. Someone that she could possibly confide in. Yeah. The confiding in thing would have to come later. Though, Livvy hoped that the whole thing would be over with when that time came.

Well. This guy was a laugher.

Livvy LIKED it! ^^

Only one? Pfft. Livvy made a face and pretended to gag. "That is probably the lamest series ever invented. No offense to the author. No offense. And, what's up with the whole 'sparkling' thing?" she asked, making hand motions with hers to imitate the glitter. "That's just offensive. Vampires don't sparkle. If they're going to write a story about Vampires, they should get their facts right." Livvy held up her index finger with a look. THE look. It signified many things at once. Though it depended on the person that saw it to interpret the meanings.

Though... if someone was ever to get close to a Vampire to hear their story, chances are they'd already have been bitten. Vampires weren't exactly the friendliest of beings. No offense. No offense. Not that any Vampire would be able to hear what Livvy was thinking about. Unlike that FICTIONAL character that some muggle decided to make up.

Livvy sighed and just shrugged with a smile. "Sorry Torin, my friend. It was important to add him in. Because... Nelson Mandela ROX SOX!" she said, flinging her arms into the air with a large grin. OHHHHH YEAAAAAHH.

Wow, had this girl read his mind or something? 'cause it sure seemed like she had! "OMG! I was just thinking that. I mean... sparkling Vampires? WTF? My 4 year old sister could do more justice to Vampire myth." This was probably true since Cammy was a smart little girl and she loved learning about magical creatures.

And she called him friend? Oooh. So she was enjoying this conversation like he was then. "Yeah, he rox sox I agree. But you should ease into him a bit. Set up a few people before him so that I have a greater chance here." Or was she just wanting to be mean to him?

OHMEGEE! He was?! "You were?! We're likeee.... linked to the brain or something. Or telepathic," Livvy said, her lips formed in an "O" shape. Brain twin? Or telepathic powers? Hmmm... that's something to ponder about. Livvy wouldn't mind having a brain twin or having telepathic powers.

She rolled her eyes in agreement. Seriously. Sparkling vampires? "I'm not quite sure where the author got sparkling... vampires. And yet, there are people that are obsessed with this series. I mean... REALLY? Are they blind or were they fed some sort of potion to make them so delusional?" Probably both. Yes. Most definitely both.

Livvy laughed and snorted. "Sure, Torin. Sure. I'll do that. Should I make some sort of list or something of these people whose fame you'll set out to pass?" she asked, grinning.

He smiled at her. "Can you say brain twin." YAY! He and her had the totally same thoughts on everything; it was all so exciting for him. It was almost like she was reading him mind without having Adrienne's powers. Or at least he was pretty sure that she didn't.

"haha. You are so right. My sister loves Twilight and I can't stand it when she talks about it. She rereads the series too." He rolled his eyes. Like once through wasn't enough? "I'm hoping to keep my little sister away from those books when she is old enough to read them. I don't want Dani polluting her mind with Edward Cullen. The glorified stalker." He smirked.

"And yes, make a list of the people that I can try to beat and I'll put it on my wall and I'll tell you when I top each one of them." hehe.

"CHYYYEEEAH... I can. Brain twinneh! Whooo!" Livvy cheered, jumping up and down happily as her pigtail bobbed up and down along with her. It was like she was jump-roping with a jump-rope that was invisible. "It's a pity, I'm not psychic. But I swear... this one girl totally IS." Adrienne. Totally. She was TOTALLY reading her mind when they were at the maze and it was TOTERLY scawwweh.

Re-reads?! BLEEECH. Livvy stuck her tongue out to make a face once more. "Re-read? Reading that cruddy thing once isn't enough?" GAG. GAG. GAAAAGGGGG. "Seriously... you gotta keep her away from them. You don't want her going up to vampires in life, asking them if they sparkle. Correction. You don't want her to go up to vampires, period. Much less fall in love with one," she said, smirking a bit herself.

Livvy laughed and rolled her eyes. "Sure, Torin. I'll do that. For your Christmas present," she said, winking at him.

He snorted at her cheer. She was being way too adorable right now. "WHOO!!" he offered as a contribution, pumping his fist in the air and grinning. No way would he be jumping with her though. Then she made a comment about girl who was psychic. He stopped immediately. "You mean Adrienne?" He couldn't think of anyone else she could be referring to.

haha! If only Dani was there right now. It would have been priceless. "Oh, I know. I couldn't even finish the first book, let alone the whole series." He shook his head and imagines how bad it would be with two sisters who read Twilight. "Well, fortunately she's more like me than my twin. And I can teach her about real Vampires." Educated on Vampires, Torin was.

"Oooh! Nice idea. But that means I'll have to get you something too." What was he supposed to get someone who he just met? Chocolate Frogs?
