Fallon couldn't believe that Finn was actually blushing. She just couldn't get passed it. She didn't know how it had happened...but she needed to stop focusing on that. If she kept focusing on it, she was going to blush more and more and that would annoy her.

Fallon smiled up at Finn. Her hand was still on his cheek, where his blush sat. It really was...nice. That really was the only word she could think of to describe it. "This-" she said tracing his cheek. "-is most definitely a blush Finn." Hehe.

The weird thing was, the more she went on about his blushing, only caused him to blush more. Oh Carmicheal. What was going on with you dude! You don't blush, why are you now! He still smiled though. He really did like Fallon, and he didn't mind blushing around her.

"If you think so..." He mused, a little grin on his face. Hopefully nobody was going to come out of the common room now, because it would be a bit embarrasing for anyone to see him like this. His features softened and he smiled. They still didn't seem to be moving, and he didn't mind at all.

Fallon couldn't help but giggle a little as he blushed more. Her hand was still on his face right where his blush sat. She knew that if anyone saw, Finn would probably be embarrassed. She knew she would be, even with how much she cared right now.

"I don't think...I know." She chuckled and smiled up at him. Fallon figured that she should probably leave. It was getting really late. Almost curfew. "Well...it's really late." She moved her hand away from his face. "I should probably get going..." She still didn't want to go. His hand felt so warm in hers.

"Well aren't we the know it all." Finlay grinned at her, resisting the urge to stick his tongue out at her. "Thought that was supposed to be my house..." He was totally teasing her. He liked teasing her, it felt nice. Although he hoped she didn't take ti seriously. Because that would've been pretty bad on his part.

Aww. She was going to go. Finlay smiled at her, still really not wanting her to go. "Yeah...you need to get some rest..." So that he could see her tomorrow. Finlay glanced at there hands, before letting go, and wrapping his arms around her waist, giving her a huge hug, but then....not letting go then either. Yeah...he really didn't want to say goodnight.

Fallon chuckled. Their little moment taken over by their immaturity. "What? I'm not allowed to be a know it all every now and again?" It wasn't like she actually cared much about course work here. She was over it. The only class she really ever paid attention in anymore was Muggle Studies.

Fallon nodded. She tried not to frown as he let go of her hand. She glanced down at it, but smiled as she was pulled into a hug. Fallon didn't make any attempt to move right away. It was nice just hugging Finn. "Goodnight Finn." She said as she looked up at him. Fallon looked at him and was really tempted to kiss him. She resisted the urge, even though she felt that a kiss on the cheek would satisfy her.

"Nope..." Finlay shook his head, grinning at her. "Not when you probably know more that I do..." It probably wasn't that hard. Finlay was not very academic at all. He smiled at her though. "Be has know it all as you want..." He mused, speaking a bit more quietly than he had before. Fallon was awesome to him, now it all or not.

Hmm. She smelled really nice. He could smell her scent as they hugged, and he really didn't want to let go. Not now. Not when he was feeling enjoying her company. He smiled now a their, subconsiously rubbing her back gently. "Goodnight Fallon." Not that he really wanted her to go, but he knew her best friend would probably want her too, and he did need to get all the way back up to the towers. But something else was in his thoughts right now....it was getting a lot more hard to resist kissing her.

Fallon chuckled. "I don't know...I hardly pay attention in lessons." They held no part in her future. She was going for a muggle career. She grinned a little. "I will." It didn't hurt. It wasn't like she was doing anything wrong.

Fallon was really taking in the hug and the fact that he was rubbing her back. It was nice. Just nice. Fallon pulled back a little. If she was going to leave, she was going to have to do it and just get it over with. It was going to be hard for her either way. She looked up at him and felt that urge again. "Goodnight." She'd already said it, but it just came out again.

Fallon turned away, only to turn back and look at him again. "Goodnight Finlay." She said as she took a hold of his hand once more. She kissed him on the cheek and squeezed his hand before turning to go back to the common room, which she was doing really slowly...

"Seems like we're a perfect match then..." Because he didn't pay much attention either. Which was bad seeing as like he was the headboy. But it was nice to know that they had so much in common. Maybe they would stay friends longer this time. He really hoped so.

He hadn't felt this many emotions when hugging a girl for a long time. Fallon seemed to fit into his arms perfectly, he never wanted to let her go. But she pulled away. Part of him was glad she had. It was going to be hard saying goodbye, and they were only saying goodbye for the night, and they'd probably see each other tomorrow morning. "Goodbye..." He really had to resisst the urge to kiss her. Now wasn't the right time. It would just look like he was using her again.

Oh. She'd kissing his cheek. Finlay smiled, squeezing her hand, and sadly watching her walk away. Oh Fallon. Before he could really stop himself, he was stepping back towards her, grabbing her by the waist again, and he kissed her cheek. "Goodnight Fallon..." He mused, staring at her lips for a few moments, before letting her go. "I'll see you tomorrow..." He mused, before stepping away, and slowly walking backwards, still watching her.

Fallon grinned. "Looks like it..." She had a feeling Finn wasn't one to pay attention in classes. It kind of made her wonder how he got Head Boy. Oh well. Didn't matter.

...

Fallon was walking slowly, trying to go through the emotions in her head. She couldn't believe how she was acting just over saying good night. She would see him the next day. Probably at breakfast. Still she didn't want to leave. And then she was pulled out of her thoughts by Finn's arm coming around her waist and his lips on her cheek. She smiled and looked at him. "See you tomorrow..." She walked slowly back to the common room as he headed away. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.

"I like it...." Finlay mused as he smiled at her. He still really didn't know how he had managed to get head boy. It wasn't as if he was mr.popular at school anymore. But He had a feeling Fallon wouldn't really care about that.

Finlay really smiled as he hug her one last time. He had a feeling that Fallon was fast becoming one of his best friends. "Sleep well..." He murmered into her ear, before pulling away completly. "See you tomorrow....at breakfast." They could catch up. Although there wasn't going to be much catching up to do, they would only have been sleeping. He started walking away, waving at her, before climbing up the stairs leading away from the dungeon.

There was just silence in the dungeon corridor nearly two minutes ago and now it was crammed with people who were not even Slytherins. That was weird. It was like that they came there out of nowhere. Bissy was pleased with herself, though; being near Josh and seeing him… Wooot! She couldn’t ask for more. She smiled at the boy and said: “Yeah, enjoying of course! I’m with perfect fellow-snakes. What else can I expect?” with a broad smile.

While the blonde girl was looking at Josh’s face, she was distracted by Sierra’s words. That younger snake had the habit of jumping on others but this attitude was becoming on her. She was a real Slytherin, after all. Yeah, she was. Apparently, she was a friend of Josh’s and that was OK. The mere person Bissy couldn’t bear seeing with Josh was Evelyn. Meeh!

She chuckled at Sierra’s and Josh’s words. That younger snake was a funny girl, no doubt. But… Hang on! What was that girl doing? S-she was hugging Sierra? Thanks, Goodness! What was she up to? Looking at the hugging girl in bewilderment, she turned to Evelyn and threw a filthy look at her. Yeah, of course they had so many places that they could be on their own without feeling the gaze of people from specific other houses upon them.

Bissy was a bit irritated to be a part of such a weird group. All she wanted to do was going to the dormitory and having some sleep, if she could of course…

Looking from Evelyn to Bissy, seeing their odd behaviour and expressions which Josh couldn't tell if they were friendly or hostile or something else, it was impossible for him not to get all confused over the weird air around them. Understanding it? That was impossible for he was even unable to name what was going on between the two she-snakes. Yes, he had thought they might be hostile to each other because of that certain history but what was with smiling and exchange of...ordinary words anyway? So they were not hostile to each other? Or maybe...the opposite or maybe...something much more different than that or maybe...gaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Girls! They were just impossible to understand.

Shaking his head with a little smile at himself for he knew he was never going to understand those girl minds, his dark eyes, which looked like black ones under the dim light of the dungeon corridor, landed on Evelyn as she began to talk. ''Your what...?'' Eh, apparently she got distracted by the random hugger as well, which now annoyed the boy some for it totally ruined their...exchange of words.

Apparently he was not the only one to be annoyed about the hugger. However Sierra, the victim of the hugger, looked much more annoyed than him which was natural considering the fact that she was as friendly as a Blast-Ended Skrewt. Hugs, especially random ones, were not good for her kind. But what was with denying what she had said earlier? Did it mean that there really was a certain someone? Sierra Greingoth fangirling over a Gryffindor. Hahahahhaa. Even the idea was so amusing that Josh couldn't help but smirk widely before he spoke. ''It was obvious from what you said that you know it is upstairs. Obviously you only are still the Poisonous Princess not Perfect Liar Princess.'' And yes he was just going to ignore her question about Lafay since he did not want to talk about it.

Then as there seemed to be a lot of girls around only in a few seconds, Josh fell all silent and just listened to their convo. Disorders? Meh...of course a Slytherin like her who lacked good qualities would call them disorder. And what? Hug A Slytherin Day? Now that was something different and why didn't he know about it anyway? Though it did sound funny at first place, thinking over it Josh decided he did not like the idea for he didn't want many random people hug his girlfriend.

Glancing at Bissy for a moment or so right after nodding her friendly words of contentment with a smile, the lion boy wondered if the random hugger people were going to hug!attack her as well. No doubt this blonde Slytherin looked too intimidating for a younger student so perhaps only his housemates could handle it. Just like this girls. Yeah, actually hugging all those three dangerous she-snakes so randomly was something a Gryffindor could do. Josh didn't know if he was supposed feel proud about it, though.

Anyway, obviously he needed to solve the problem of people hugging his girlfriend randomly. A few girls and younger students were not a problem of course yet what if guys of other houses tried to use it as a way and as an excuse approach her? This was not only unacceptable but also probably it would cause nurse healer woman in the Hospital Wing experience her busiest day. So, quickly slipping his Gryffindor robe off himself, he moved towards Evelyn and put it over her shoulders covering the Slytherin one she wore. ''Here. You should be fine with...'' his gaze found his wand in her hands ''...this.'' and he remembered what was...different with it.. NO! He did NOT mean her to see it! So with a mere attempt of snatching it back, he murmured ''May i have my wand back?''

No. No no no. This was bad. This was very very bad! Evelyn caught whatever curse was placed on Sierra!

Cringing, scowling, and resisting the urge to hiss at the redheaded girl, Evelyn froze like a statue and stared at the shorter girl that was hugging her, and continued to stare in disbelief and disgust at her even when the hug was over. She barely noticed or cared about the newcomer who joined them, asking about what was going on. The dark haired Slytherin girl's personal space was just invaded. Like...REALLY invaded.

Was it weird she was starting to feel like she was going to be sick?

Hug a Slytherin day. It seemed like there were more people having death wishes these days than when she could remember. Sierra was right. They had disorders. Very horrible and incurable disorders. Trying to shake off the sick feeling, her gaze flickered from Josh, to Mariaed, to Sierra...and back to Mariaed. Huh. Even if Bissy forced herself to say they were perfect, Evelyn couldn't help but smirk. That's right. PERFECT. And don't you forget it!

Breaking out of her thoughts as something touched her shoulders, she turned her gaze to what it was first before glancing over to look at Josh. Hmm, she got his robe? Did she look cold or something? However, with him suddenly snatching his wand back, she practically buried herself in the robe afterward. She didn't feel so...vulnerable to hug attacks this way. But, back to other events. Other events that didn't have to do with hugging or disorders. Such as...

"Josh." she whispered, moving a tad closer. "Your wand. Did it...did it have...my name on it?" She could've sworn there was something that said 'Evelyn Rose' on it.

Nika looked at the older Slytherin that she had just hugged. Apparently Slytherins don't like hugs? Doesn't everyone like hugs? Hugs are good right? But no... The only Slytherin that had warmly accepted Nika's hug was Fee. Maybe she's just the only Slytherin that likes hugs. Aren't normal people supposed to like hugs? Maybe Fee's the only normal person in Slytherin. That would explain a lot.

So the first hug victim doesn't like Nika... The second hug victim didn't say much, but looked angry... AND LOOK! There's another potential victim. Should Nika hug this other girl too? Hmmm? Well.... She could hug the girl and risk getting hexed. If she did hug the girl she would be this much closer to being in the lead of the competition. Yeah Nika's gonna take the risk.

Nika sorta half watched the exchange between the Gryffindor boy and the second hug victim. Yeah, okay whatever was going on with them was probably a privet matter. She already made the second hug victim angry so no need to go any further and listen in on them. She turned her attention to the other Slytherin. She didn't really know the girl's name, but walked up to her slowly to give her a hug. "Hi." She said as she gave the girl a quick hug and backed away as soon as she did it.

Okay maybe it was time for hugger girl to leave. It didn't really seem as if she was welcome, but she didn't really want to leave either. This was just really funny seeing all of their reactions. Okay well maybe if she stays a little longer and then slowly inches her way out...

Bissy's eyes met Josh's while he was gazing at her and the dark-haired snake. She lowered her eyes to the floor; she didn't want to be a bad girl in Josh's eyes. She had to behave herself and be kind towards Flores. Actually she would give half of her father's fortune to kick Ev on the back but no, she had to act like an angel. While she was casting her eye over the ground, she jerked her head as Josh started talking to Sierra and looked at the hugger girl wit the corner of her eye. The she lion had better not come closer to Bissy or she would have to pay for it. Then Bissy visualised herself hugging Flores. It would be great indeed - seeing the disgusted and irritating look on her face. Blimey! *hehe*

And wait a minute... What was Josh doing? "Oh, come on! Nobody would touch your adorably beautiful girl." she murmured rolling her eyes. She felt a bit... sick....

She then looked at Evelyn who had been hugged by the young lion. She was not happy with herself at all. Bissy could see it in her eyes. Yeah, yeah... That was PERFECT! And what was that smirk for? The blonde girl stared into that pair of hazel eyes without blinking. Then, she felt a movement near her. No, no, no! That was... Ooooh! The blonde snake glared at the second year lion fixedly. She didn't move a muscle. Just her eyes were moving. She watched the lion girl's each and every movement, her lips pursed. She tried to possess herself but it was really hard. She closed her eyes as if praying for patience but that was the boiling point apparently. First, that idiot Huffie and now that girl. She took a deep breath and reached out to hold the young girl's arm rather lightly. Clenching her teeth, she bended over the little girl and hissed: "Look girl, there's something you should have learnt by now. Do not mess with a Slytherin. Especially in the dungeons. It could be the last thing you would do before opening your eyes at the hospital wing." She threw a filthy look at the lion girl. She was a little girl indeed and maybe she didn't deserve such an attack but all the things having happened til that moment was a sort of summation and... Ooh, whatever...

Chloe headed down the corridor frantically searching for a professor. She could not find one, this was so not good.

Sierra smirked to herself when she saw Peyton's reaction. It seemed that down here in the dungeons it wasn't difficult to find people who shared Sierra's same opinions on the Puffers and...for the most part, Gryffindors. She had to remember that her own mother and sister was in Gryffindor house. Her sister had even been the prefect of Gryffindor house, and then there was the fact that her own twin brother was a Puffer.

Still, it was sort of comforting to be down here and dungeons and get an "ew" from someone when it came to talking about the Badgers and the Lions.

"Sorry we had to meet under," ... "such conditions, but it seems we might have quite a lot in common. You made the Quidditch team, too, hmm?" She was sure she'd seen the girl out on the pitch a time or two during tryouts, but then again, it was sort of hard to tell who was who when you were flying in the air smacking quaffles across the field.



Sierra half-smirked, half-laughed over the comment from the Gryffindor. She'd sort of forgotten the girl had still been around, and had she remembered, she might have tried to bite her tongue a little when it came to that disorder comment. "Hug a Slytherin Day?" Sierra questioned. Well, no wonder she'd been randomly hugged twice. The Puffers and Gryffindors didn't have a disorder--they'd just gone crazy. "Oh, so...this is only going to last a day?" Thank Merlin! If she had to endure a year's worth of random hug!attacks, she might just hide out in the dungeons until the train rolled around again.



Perfect fellow-snakes? Hmm. Well, Sierra couldn't have said it better herself. Perfect was a nice word to describe the snakes. Well, there were just a few exceptions, like that Connor kid who was apparently in love with Kurumi Hollingberry. Kurumi? Honestly? A whole school fulls of girls, and he's attracted to the Dictionary Eater?

She regarded Bissy with a small smile before turning to Josh.



Wait...

What?! Was Carter calling her a liar? She did her trademark eyeroll at him. Honestly, what did she care where the Gryffindor's common room was? The only reason she might want to know its whereabouts were so she could stay as far away from it as humanly possible. The boy seemed distracted with Evelyn and getting his wand back, though, so she just left the comment alone.



Sierra turned around just in time to see Evelyn get hug!attacked, as well. She smirked as she waited for an attack from Evelyn, but no such attack came. Apparently, she'd been distracted by something going on with Josh's wand. Sierra edged closer, trying to see for herself what was so interesting about the wand, but she could neither see nor hear anything.



...and now Hugger Girl was at it again. Sierra took back her earlier thought--it wasn't that Gryffindors were simply crazy. They really did have disorders. It was too bad she couldn't be a witness to this brave little one hugging Lafay. Now that she would like to see the reaction to.

Was she going to leave now, or was all of Slytherin house now in danger?!



Sierra raised her eyebrows at Bissy's words. First, the older girl lit into Michael White in Lafay's corridor, and now she was doing the same with this random Hugger Girl. Apparently, Bissy was one to keep around. Sure, Sierra had absolutely no problem hissing and striking at others, as well, but with Bissy around and so willing to do all the work for them, who needed to put an effort?

Again, she regarded Bissy with a smile.

After all the craziness that had gone on over the past few days, Matt realized that it was best to just spend some time by himself so he could not only relax, but just think about everything that had gone on and what to do next since it was all just so confusing; it wasn't that he was interested in relationships or dating, he had friends to deal with now which really seemed more important. Man you let TJ get to you, you know the whole thing with her was never meant to be serious and now you're acting like she took part of your heart away when she broke up with you. He continued down the corridor, walking along in the barely lit area with his head down; heartbroken guy walking..

Ginger was not-so-happy right now. She had just narrowly escaped the fire, and the waiting room for the hospital wing so whens he saw a pair of legs - and a smell she recognized she pounced up.

Crying loudly Meooooooooooooooow she cried, she was not a happy little kitten right now. You could tell with the swish-swish of her little orange tail.

She walked up to Matt's foot, smacked it, clawed him lightly and turned around tail in the air prancing off. Turning her head to him, she stared. Ifs he were a human she would have been telling him to "come here right now or i'll bite you"...well, a cat-human. Since humans didn't normall bite people.

Matt stopped in his tracks when he heard a cat's meow that sounded familiar to him, he shook his head and continued walking before he felt something smack his foot; finally moving his head, he noticed Ginger was acting strangely. "Hey you silly cat, let me guess you want me to follow you." The fact that she was in the dungeons brought about questions about Kyle, like if anything had happened to her since he knew about the fire that had gone on in the Potions Storeroom. Wait.. was she hurt? Maybe that was why Ginger had come to find him, regardless; the many questions would have to wait as he turned around and followed the cat.

Ginger would have smiled smugly if she could, and in her own little way she did. When he asked if she wanted him to follow her she almost nodded. Yes following was good. And smart. And needed.

Quickly the cat began to trot her way to the hospital wing.

Nika knew that the moment she hugged the older slytherin that she would regret it. Yet, it didn't seem to stop her from the sudden hug attack. She watched the third hug victim carefully hoping that she wouldn't explode because by the looks of it she was about to spontaneously combust.

Wait for it.....

Wait for it.......

Nika shut her eyes tightly so she wouldn't have to witness the explosion. After a few seconds of silence she quickly opened an eye. When she saw nothing was happening she opened the other. PHEW. Maybe this slytherin wasn't against the idea of hug-a-slytherin day. Oh wait-

Don't mess with Slytherins? Ah, but it's so much fun! Ouchie the hospital wing? Well this girl definitely has some anger management issues. Maybe she should go and see a counselor or something... Yeah Nika would gladly go and find her one of those. The look. This girl who Nika has yet to know the name of gave her "the look". The filthiest of "the looks" that Nika had ever seen. Wow. She meant business alright. Well listen hug attack victim, Nika Adler is not afraid of you. Even if she very well should be.

What should Nika say? The second year lion stood there in silence for a good minute trying to think of something to say. Well she could say something that would land her in the "hospital wing". OR she could slowly walk back away, but that would just make her look like a gutless coward.... She looked around at the other lion for help, but he didn't really seem like he would speak up for Nika at the moment. Her eyes met those of the younger snake Sierra and she was looking "smug". Nika was a bit confused. Lost for words. She didn't mean any harm. Only wanted a few hugs, that's all. Now she landed herself in a lot of trouble with no way out of it. Great.

"Didn't think you would take it that far." She said suddenly looking at the older snake with her eyebrows raised. "It was only a hug, not the end of the world." Jeez. One hug and you think a bomb has been set off or something. Well now Nika is only asking for more trouble, but the poor second year had never been in this situation before. Tons of snakes surrounded her and for all she knew they had backup on the way. How to get out of this mess before something bad happens...

Nika nodded. Yes, hug a slytherin day. What a fun day indeed. If only all of the speeches from the angry snakes could be a little shorter then Nika might have time to get to all of the slytherins in Hogwarts. Merlin knows how long that would take if all of them had to put up a fight like these ones. "Mhmm. One day only. Hence hug a slytherin day." she said emphasizing the last word. "Unless... unless we decide to extend it." Extend? Where had she even gotten that idea from... Nika was just throwing things out at this point.

Hmm. Alright, Sierra could force herself to deal with the one day only thing. Of course, she'd prefer if they'd just nix the holiday (if it was even a holiday) altogether, but if they just had to go around hugging everyone, she took comfort in knowing there were three hundred sixty-four safe days out of the year.

Unless they extended it? Ugh. She really needed to get going on that note. Was anywhere safe?! Yes, the common room was, and so it was way past due for her to make her leave and retreat there. "Well, I'm heading off to the common room now," she announced. To the safe place. "See ya around." Well, some of you. Those that were Slytherins, since Sierra planned to hide out in the common room for the rest of the evening. She regarded everyone with a parting glance and then turned and headed off.

Arabella-Marie had no idea why she was down in the dungeons again but something about the dark and deery conditions of the dungeon corridor felt like home to her but she had no idea what it meant at the moment

Now leaving the common room after what was quite the interesting conversation with her best friend, Rae walked in the corridors of the dungeon with her brain still swimming in slight confusion. Of course the seventh year snake couldn't take her grey eyes off her left hand where the sparkles could even blind her. Maybe it did for a moment, for her shoulder rammed into someone she was walking past, which snapped Rae out of her trance.

She looked over to see a smaller girl.... Oh Merlin, SHE RAN INTO A KID!!! Why couldn't she run into a big buff guy? "Oh, I'm SO sorry, I was distracted so I didn't see you there, are you alright? I didn't mean to run into you so hard!" Ramble ramble ramble. Great.
