When you think about it...they were both wrong to fight. There was no reason to. They are amazing friends and yes Elektra shouldn't have snapped like that and Elektra MAY have deserved to been slapped, but anyways! She walks towards Selina and stood in front of her. "Truce sounds great right about now." she said with a light smile.

Selina punched her friend lightly and playfully in the shoulder, "Good, a truce better sound good." She was just glad that this fight was over. It had been a very long week without Elektra. True that she never saw her in classes, but that was not Elektra's scene if she could avoid it. But Elektra and Selina still saw one another everyday in school, on the grounds, in the Great Hall. To avoid her for a whole week had been agony. True agony.

She chuckled and playfully punched her back in the arm and now she knew for a fact that the friendship was restored. "Lass this week was boring without talking to you." she said with a smiled. "I was about ready to smash me head against a wall from the boredom and that wasn't going to look pretty."

"No it wouldn't have," Selina joked and pinched her friend's face, "and why ruin this pretty face?" True, it was a bit patronizing but hey that was their friendship. It was an odd one at that, but the two had always never gotten along and yet gotten along splendidly. Even from the first moment the two had met they had been at each other's throats. But it was all in good fun. They both needed someone to just be there to vent to.

She laughs. "Well you bruised my face up." Ah, the odd friendship could be made into a reality tv show it was that odd. Elektra sighs and looks at a statue and she chuckles. Her chuckling stopped quickly when shestarted to get a really bad feeling, almost ike really bad pains in her stomach, and she touched her stomach and looked at Selina. She almost felt like she was going to throw up, but yet she was really hungry. "Selina...I don't- I don't feel so good."

Selina laughed with Elektra and then saw her already pale face grow paler. Elektra's knees looked weak and she stumbled a little as she talked. So Selina stopped her laughter and reached out for her friend. There, with one hand holding her friend up, she checked her temperature. She was burning up. What was happening?

"Elektra, can you hear me?"

Elektra was spacing out. Everything around started to sounds distorted and she looked around seeing her focus going in and out and she shook her head and exhaled slowly out and she looked at Selina. "I don't know. I- I-I feel really-" She stopped mid sentence feeling like she was ready to throw up and she closed her eyes and took a deep breath then opened her eyes. "I feel nauseous."

"Elektra?" Selina panicked. What was happening to her best friend. She had been acting so strangely and now this? Was it an affect of her... issue parseltongue? It couldn't be. It was just another language.

"Answer me fool!!"

Elektra just looked up at Selina with her piercing green eyes to her red headed friend. Her head was spinning, her stomach felt uneasy, and her hunger was getting worse, but she felt that if she ate something she was just going to throw it up. "I need to go to the infirmary."

"Of course," Selina said propping her friend up, "Come on. I'll take you there right now." But Elektra was loosing it fast, "Elektra look at me, focus. Come on."

Elektra tried to keep her focus on her friend as she was going in and out of consciousness. She could feel her temperature rising, but tried so hard to not show it was bothering her. "I'm here. I'm here." She said softly. "Oi, don't tell Violet ok?"

Sebastian could feel the tension between them as he hugged her; as she awkwardly patted him on the back. He frowned and stepped back as he watched her walk away to go look outwards at the swamp. He could see how awkward this meeting of theirs was going to become and he didn't want it to get anywhere near that.

He walked over, standing next to her as they looked out at the swamp. "News? Hmm...not really. Any news in your life?" He asked, looking towards her. Only the sight of her made him regret so much about what he had done, it was hard trying to look away. He wanted to fix all of it, but now, it seemed like it wasn't the right time.

Dani went and sat in one of the ledges near the statues- she sighed as she pushed back her hair.
She pulled out her mirror and smiled at her... well, new look. She'd straightened her hair finally- lessened up on the make up and was looking... normal again. She smiled to herself as she sat back against the wall and looked around, wondering if anyone was about. She knew who she needed to see and talk to though...

Connor winced in pain from his healing burns. The cuts and bruises were gone but the burns were tricky. He had just gotten out of the hospital wing after having been in there for some time. The fire and his behavior the day before weighing heavily on his mind.

Dani spotted him and stood up- "Connor" she called out, waving at him as she smiled reassuringly and walked over to him. "I... how are you feeling?" she asked him softly, that was all she was really concerned about to be honest. "I was... yesterday..." she said, feeling awful. It was sad that her brothers knew him more than she did- but in her heart she knew that her and Connor were really best friends- it would just take some time to build that up even more. Right then, a crush or anything like that was forgotten- she was just focusing on her friendship and that was what was truely on her mind. "I've been so... different lately- even my brothers and Dad have noticed... I just... I'm trying to get back to just being Dani- less the excessive make up and the slightly over the top superficiality. I just want to be... me" she admitted to him, knowing she had to for her own good. She knew she looked different- she even thought she looked better as she was, without all the rubbish she put on and did to her hair, and she felt better just being herself- her personality would shine through for once.

Connor blinked, not sure what to make of this new Dani. Had she taken something that altered her appearance and personality? He sat awkwardly at the base of the statue and winced a little as the blisters of his burns hurt. He observed her for a moment and listened to her words but he was more confused than ever. "Hold it Dani, Just hold it. You are more confusing than a backfired confundus charm." He whispered softly. "I don't know who you are Dani. Which is the real Dani? The girl I've come to know here or the one who used to write me letters at Drumstrang?"

Dani sighed- "I guess... it's all part of the real me, obviously... I've just... not been showing the whole real Dani. She hasn't been around for a while..." she admitted. "Remember when we first met? Well, I changed at Beauxbatons... I... as I was writing letters to you... I guess I changed. But now. I want to focus on just being that Dani again- the Dani that didn't care about what everyone thought all the time" she admitted, she knew it sounded a little confusing, but she had become too self concsious and obsessed over her looks- she had to change that. "I know it sounds strange but... I know the way you've seen me mostly here... isn't really me. I mean, to be completely honest- I think I look so much better now, without all that... stuff. Don't ya think?" she smirked at him. "You must get what I'm saying. I just want you to see the real, complete Dani- no faking" she said softly. "The girl I was when I wrote those letters" she smirked, remembering the embarassing stuff she used to tell him when there wasn't a care in the world.

Connor put his hand to his forehead. "I am so confused Dani. You say you've changed all of a sudden but you want to know if I think you look better? Yeah you do but, I don't know if it's the real you or not because I don't know you anymore. You're not the little girl that used to follow me and Luke and Dan around all the time. Who are you Dani?"

"I guess I had to grow up in a way" Dani admitted, as she looked down. "I just... I know I've changed over these few years but that girl has never gone..." she said as she felt tears fall, she brushed them away quickly. "But so much has happened- I guess, I felt like I needed to get the attention" she said before looking at him. "Who am I? I'm the Dani that's always been there. That little girl that wrote you letters is back- the girl that cried when you and Dan picked on me for ridiculous reasons, the girl that tricked you guys into watching ridiculously girly films with me for a whole day, the girl that hit you when you laughed at her admittedly ridiculously pink dress... That whole side of me is what makes the real me. I guess I shoved that aside thinking I needed to be sophisticated and perfect but... I'm not perfect and I don't want to have to feel sophisticated. I've felt so lonely and I feel like I've been trying too hard" she said honestly as she looked into Connor's eyes. "I think you need to get to know the real me again... I mean, while I was away at Beauxbatons you missed so much- I changed a lot. My brothers missed so much too- they barely know me now, they... think I've changed too, even Dad does. I just need you to get to know me again- I need that" she said truthfully, tearing up as she looked at him.

She brushed a lock of hair behind her ear.

Crazed!Girl chewed her lip and gave a little shrug. "I'm going to travel 'round Europe after Hogwarts. After that maybe I'll go to America. Not much. Just you know, planning the future." Bonnie looked at him with half a smile. She felt the tension and it was totally uncomfortable. She didn't want it to be like that 'cause she knew deep down that she had feelings for him she hated to have.

"Uhhhmmm." She didn't know what to say. But she knew what she wanted to say. So she would just say it. "Hey. Why did you promise to write to me if you wouldn't?"

Connor sighed and rubbed his pounding head again. This was all too much right now, after finding out about his stepdad and what really happened the night his parents died, After transforming and the fire. He shook his aching head. "Dani I care about you, I really do but this sudden change is too much." He stood and backed away from her. "I just need some time. I need some time to process some things, time to get to know myself. I can't handle this now. Look getting to know each other again is a great idea but you have to give me some space." He turned, taking a deep breath and back straight, head high and walked away.

So much for hiding behind the statue of Boris the Bewildered.

More students.

They were everywhere. Like locusts.

"Oops! Pardon the interruption. I, um, heard there was a, um, monstrous cockroach lurking about the floor. Nasty thing. Guess its not here. Carry on!" Vindictus jabbered and immediately left.

Dani sighed as she watched her best friend walk away- she knew he needed space and she'd give him that. She was trying so hard and always would for him, she knew they needed to build up thier friendship even more... she sighed deeply and stood up.

"That's great actually. Traveling is something I was thinking about doing as well after school, maybe we could have a road trip somewhere or something?" Sebastian asked, purely interested in all the traveling plans. He loved traveling and experiencing new places. There was so much to see that was all over the world and he thought it would be great to do it with Bonnie, his...friend.

Oh shoot. The letters. "Funny story actually." He started, scratching the back of his head as he always does when he's nervous. "I did write to you, but they must have gotten lost in the mail." He nodded. Real story? Well he had wrote bunches of letters to Bonnie, but they just weren't good enough. Either too short, too stupid, too flirty or just too...not him. He ended up throwing them all away and never got to one that he could actually send to her.

Seb knew that Bonnie wasn't going to take his lie like that, she was way too smart for that anyhow. So he knew he would have to repay her sometime, so he had planned for this meeting earlier of course. He dug in his pocket, fumbling with the bracelet, and finally placing it into his hand; hiding it from Bonnie's view. "Sorry, Bonnie, I really tried to write to you, but it just didn't work out." He said, grabbing her hand and slipping the bracelet onto her wrist. "But I did think about you over the Summer; trust me."

...Then, of course, he flashed one of his dazzling smiles.

Before he knew it though, Vindictus was yelling about cockroaches scampering around. "Cockroaches?" He asked, his eyes widening as he watched the professor leave. He shivered a bit, looking around on the floors to make sure none or even one monstrous one was about.

*Shiver*

Bonnie looked at him, smile playing at her lips. "Sounds awesome." Then her crazy side reared it's cute but worring face. "WE could search for GNARRAPUFFS!" She punched the air and then went a bit shy. Sometimes she asked herself;

How the hell did she get into Ravenclaw when she was that mad?

The one and only Crazed!Girl blinked and made her eyes go really wide so that he'd ya know, think her craziness was adorable.

"Yeeah. Sure. Funny Ha-Ha funny I'm gonna wanna kill you for lying to me because while your parents were making up you were making out with other girls?" She said it gently, with humour, but hurt edged her tone. ....... "Lost in the mail...?" She watched small beads of sweat form on his brow. "Hmmm...."


The Crazy Seventeen-year-old knew it. Of course he was lying. And wasn't gonna take any of the s....crap... "You. It? It couldn't work?" Writing to her was that hard. She thought of all the stupid letters she sent him. Telling him what she was doing. How she missed him. Blahh blahh blahh. Then he could out the bracelet. She gaped at it, saying nothing. Or not knowing what to say. She could make up her mind. It hung on her pale wrist. "There's something wrong with it." the girl said as she pulled out her wand.

She branded the letters onto a heart on the bracelet. She was unsure about the 'friend's part. But still, it was more or less perfect. She slid it back on her tiny wrist.

The bracelet had the words;

Sebastian & Bonnie friends forever ♥

on it. She leaned forward and then stopped. She wasn't sure whether or not to but now she probably would look stupid. He had probably gotten back with that Sophie. And as much as she wished she hated that girl, she was UBER nice. Soo... she probably couldn't. Bonnie quickly pecked his cheek. Eh. Close enough.

"C-c-cockroaches?"

Bonnie moved a little closer (or a lot closer) to Sebastian, ready to jump into his arms if she saw anything that ya'know crawled and could last up to six months without it's head and was well, giant.
