Selena stood and dusted her jeans off. Weeeh. Look. Dust! "Anyways, smile, it's worth it in the end," Selena said, suddenly wishing she wore sneakers today. "If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'll always be there, and let me know, alright, whenever you're down," Selena added. She gave Enya another hug. "We're family, I'll always be there," Selena said. Oh, wow... she wondered how much more cheesy one person could get. Eep. Saveee heeerrr!!! "And let me know, when I can, you know, th- I mean, talk to Michael..." Selena said with a smirk.

Enya hugged Selina. "I will do." She said softly. "I'm going to go for now, I need to think, I'll see you in the common room later."

Kellen Stern wasn't actually in his common room at the moment. In fact, he'd had a nice day hitting his best friend with paint bubbles, doing a flying leap into the lake to wash off, and then sitting and drying off. With maybe a little magic to help dry faster. And then of course he'd picked up a book from the library, had something to eat... you know, relaxing stuff. Sufficed to say that he wasn't in his common room, and hadn't been there since... well, that morning.

Truth be told, he didn't even notice the hmmph-y Hufflepuff as he finished the long hike up the stairs and starting moving down the hall. His mind was blissfully blank at the moment.

Kellen looked up as someone appeared in his peripheral vision, some confusion on his face; wasn't that the Glitterpuff boy from the paintball game? He blinked, "Me?"

Lords, the boy had a dramatic presence that was almost as good as his. Almost. In retrospect, Kellen would wish that this hadn't been the thought going through his head, but then again, he'd never been one to think that someone would stroll right up and punch him in the face.

Which, by the way...

OW.

It would have been nice if Kellen had just staggered backwards, even better if he'd regrouped and offered some retaliation, but no. No, that punch floored him, and made all the pointy objects in his backpack dig into his spine.

"I... what?"

Just happened?

Kellen looked up at the violent Hufflepuff, the vision in one eye starting to go a little wonky. And this boy was his house's Champion? Actually, brute stupidity would probably do wonders in getting through challenges.

Wait, he was saying something. Kellen should probably be listening to that, and not wondering why there were rainbow speckles floating around the hall. Oh man, maybe he was seeing those wrackspurt things, and they'd evolved to be different colours.

"I never... gave her flowers?" He was going to though. Well maybe. And wait, as his brain backtracked through what his ears had taken in...

"I don't think she'd have hit me that hard."

It took a lot of effort, but Kellen's brain eventually convinced his body that it would be a good idea to sit up. He did, ignoring the stare in favour of cupping a hand over his injured eye, "She does that."

Really, his mind was more concerned with going over the contents in his trunk. Was bruise balm among them? He couldn't remember.

Which, really...

"Why are you still here?" he grumped. "Don't you have other unsuspecting students to deck?" Some gentleman.

Really, the Hufflepuff probably should have cracked the knuckles before thumping Kellen in the face. Hearing the noise now made Kellen more irritated than anything else.

Once the Hufflejock was gone, Kellen got up and waited for his balance to regain itself before heading to his common room.

Today had turned out to be a crap day after all.

Adam looked around, that Cass girl seemed interesting and he wanted to get to know her better on a friendship level. He dusted off his shirt and looked around, he chose the oddest place to meet someone he barely knew.

Cass climbed up to the seventh floor. She was exhausted...From the dungeons to here was not a climb she would recommend. She looked around and saw Adam by a statue of something...so she walked up to him and said "Hey Adam."

"If I remember correctly it's Cass, correct?"he asked, pointing at her with a funny motion. She seemed tired, the dungeons to the 7th floor was not a easy walk, especially when numerous stairs were involved.

"Yup" Cass said "So, what's up?"

"Nothing...I just thought you were a interesting friend, and I wanted to get to know you better."Adam said, shrugging his shoulders, it sounded lame but it was true, very true.

"That would be really cool." Cass said with a smile "So, tell me, what's it like being a Gryffie?"

"Well with my friends it's quite stressful...But being a Gryffindor, I think it's cool Fee calls me her lion...And I call her my snake...But, with certain friends it can be relaxing, and funny- we are quite the prankers, I'm more of a joker- I can't pull pranks well...YOU?"Adam asnwered.

She shook her head "Nope, no pranks for me. I don't even think I have a solid sense of humor." She told him. Well it was true! She had never played a prank on anybody before, and she didn't think she was that funny. She didn't even have any good jokes!

"If you're not a pranker, then you must have at least one good joke up your sleeve...Come on, give me the punch line I will laugh no matter what- I'm a laughing and smiling person, give it to me."Adam smiled, encouraging her to tell him even the simplest joke she could come up with.

Cass seriously doubted that he would find the joke funny, but she gave it a shot. "Alright, this is a muggle joke which I heard from...well a muggle while I was at London....What's a 10 letter word that starts with gas?"

Adam spelt out gasoline but that wasn't enough letters.Then he started thinking in a more awkward way about it. "Flatulence..."He guessed, shruuging his shoulders still not sure if he had answered it right.

"Flatulece?" Cass asked as she giggled "No. Its actually automobile.because it needs gasoline to start. get it?"

"Well you said it started with gas and flatulence is a different word for gas and such...I would have never thought about a car...It's not that bad of a joke- just don't tell it to older students, they might go about it a different way..."
