Marie had just finished fixing her hair and makeup and was walking out of the bathroom when she heard someone laughing.

Ohh, she knew that laugh.

Following the sound she got a huge smile on her face when she seen Matty. Sneaking up behind him she jumped on his back and wrapped her arms around him. "Hey handsome. What's so funny?"

Wait, was that armor... dancing?

*Feeling someone jump on his back he laughed even more knowing who it was. Matty moved to putting his arms around her in a sort of backwards hug.*
"Hello beautiful, I got the armor to dance. How are you doing this lovely day? I've missed you."

Kissing his neck as he hugged her... if that's what you call what he was doing, Marie giggled. "So that's why it's moving like that... you made it do it."

Hehe, she loved it when he acted silly like that.

Hopping off his back she moved around so she was now standing in front of him. "I'm doing a lot better now that I'm with you." Wrapping her arms back around him she stood on her toes and gave him a proper kiss this time. "I've missed you too." Even though she had just seem him that morning at breakfast... which was only a couple of hours ago.

*Matty smiled and kissed her back. Because he was taking different classes then her and Hufflepuff and Slytherin were not normally in the same classes, he didn't get to see her as much as they would like. Putting his arms around her he smiled down at her.* "I am very glad that your better now, but what happened to upset you?"

Hmm, did she look upset?

Well she had been... a little. Actually more like she had been mad. She didn't want to talk about it now though. "It's nothing. I don't wanna talk about it." She wanted to enjoy her time with Matty, not get all mad again... for something a certain person said to her. "I'd much rather talk about you... and the dancing armor." She said while looking over at the armor that was still moving like... well she didn't know like what but it was funny. "Is this how you occupy your time between classes? Dancing with the armor." She was pretty sure he would have more fun dancing with her

BLINK. Why did she took a step back from him? Chandler didn't smell did he?! OOOH ICE PACK! "Err...zank you I guess." He blinked a few times at her before taking the ice pack, kicking off his shoe and putting it on it. "Ahhh, zat feels zo good." He mumbled to himself.

Famous? Chandler was NOT famous. Psh. "I don't zink I've ever been called famous but I do know a lot of people at 'Ogwarts." The teenager chuckled and shrugged. Alex mentioned him a lot? Really? He had no idea. "Yeah, nice to meet you too. I didn't zink zat Alex mentioned me a lot, or at all." Heh. But he had mentioned Emma. Like when he had told him that Emma liked him and stuff, he was even told by Ellie and this was way back. Before the trio were the three musketeers and before Alex and Ellie were a couple.

"Mmm, Trixie. Ex 'Ead Girl. Oh zo she IZ related to you. I zought she was your sister because you guys do look really alike." Chandler had no idea that people who were cousins had a chance of looking alike. Errr..what? "Dish um ow 'er?" And there was the blinking again.

Gwen noticed she had been sitting there for almost an hour. The girl kept staring around, and, every time she thought it would be the time to finally leave, she somehow ended up noticing some details, and, following, she remained there.

This time, actually willing to leave, she heard a voice near her.

'Hi', she replied shortly. After a while she added: 'I'm Gwen, by the way...nice to meet you.'

The blonde smiled at Chandler as he put the icepack on his foot. Yep she was a superhero. Indeed. Nod. She grinned. She wondered what Alexbear said about Emma. "Well Alex talked about you a lot. You two seemed as if you were good friends. He said that your his best guy friend and that you are really cool," she said. "Alex is my partner in crime."

The blonde nodded proudly. Yep, her cousin HAD been a FANTASTIC Head Girl. No denying that. She smiled at Chandler. "Yes, we do look a lot a like. I wish she was my sister. I don't know how it happened that we look exactly alike. Maybe I am secretly her sister. Who knows?" The blonde flushed at her mistake. "Wow did I really just say Dish um ow her? Wow. Sorry.. I've been staying up too late studying. I meant. How did you know her?" she laughed as she asked him the question. Wow.. That was quite a fail on Emma's part. Great job.

"So.. what happened with you and Alex?"

Nika smiled at the girl and realized she hadn't said her own name yet. "Oh I'm Nika! Nice to meet you." She looked at the girls robes and saw that she was a ravenclaw and gave a small grin. "I don't think I've ever seen you around before. Are you new?"
Nika turned around and noticed that there were some other students there as well. She looked them over and realized! SLYTHERIN! She ran up to the slytherin and gave her a hug immediately. So that makes seven. "Hi I'm Nika." She smiled at the girl ready for whatever was going to be thrown at her.

"When my uncle was here at school he spent weeks on this and finally got these guys to dance. He did it as a prank to get my aunt Kayla's attention."
*He smirked as he remembered the story. For ages Matty thought that this girl named Kayla was made up. There was no way his uncle would go to so much trouble to get a girl. Now he understood.*

"You know you don't have to make the armor dance to get my attention... right?" Not that that's what he was doing. "You've already got my attention... and a whole lot more." She whispered in his ear before kissing it.

"I wish you would have told me before I went to all this trouble." *He smiled even more when she kissed his ear and slowly set her down. Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear away from her face he asked.*
"Sure you don't want to tell me whats bothering you?"

Frown. That was true. Chandler didn't know if it was true OR not now. He really wasn't that sure but they were doing okay, even him and Ellie were doing okay now. At least she didn't like him anymore. "All of zat iz true, except for me being cool part." He chuckled, nah Chandler was laaameeee. Alex was the cool one. ..Didn't she already say that? SNORT. "Errr...Emma? You just zaid zat." Smooth. xD

Awww, that was so cute. "'Ey, you could be. But..I don't zink zo some'ow if you both know zat you're cousins." It's not like cousins can just become sisters suddenly. Blink. Blink. Blink. Now Chandler was confused. Was she talking in a foreign language as some joke or something else? He had no idea to be offended or not. "Errr...yeah." Awkwarddd. "I just knew 'er briefly when she was 'Ead Girl I guess. I didn't know 'er before'and. But..she's cool..exceptforwhenshegavemewedgies." He mumbled the last bit, for obvious reasons. -__-

What...what happened with them? Chandler swallowed thickly. "Didn't..'e tell you?"

Nika's eyes lit up as she found another slytherin. OH that's nine! She ran up to the girl and gave her a hug. She backed away slowly and noticed that she had interrupted a "moment"... oopsie.

Seeing a Slytherin, even though she was flirting with someone, Ariana rushed up, hugged her, and called out "Five!" as she ran away.

"Well you know, since you did go to all the trouble... you might as well show me what they can do." She could definitely use a good laugh today. "That is unless you want to go do something else."

Again with what was bothering her. She needed to get his mind onto something different because she did not want to talk about what had happened earlier. "The only thing that is bothering me is that we're just standing here when we could be off having some fun right now. I have a free period now, wanna go..." Wrapping her arms around his neck she whispered in his ear.

*Matty knew that was not what was bothering her. He sighed and tried to shrug it off but it was really starting to bother him.*
"How about we go to the lake? Maybe take a nice walk?"
*He put his arms back around her and smiled as he started to walk them down the hall.*

"Yeah. A walk sounds good now." Putting her arm around his waist she looked one last time at the armor and smiled. Some other time Matty could show her how he makes the armor dance. Right now though they were going out to the lake to walk.... and talk about... things.

The blonde shrugged her shoulders. Well he seemed pretty chill to her. The blonde groaned. Face palm. "I did? Wow. Sorry about that. I have been staying up really late finishing homework." she explained and sat down on the floor. Good job Emma.. Great job Malfoy, she thought sarcastically.

Emma grinned and shrugged her shoulders again. The blonde tried to think the conversation through. Cousins can't be sisters but it feels like we are.. Soon the Malfoy was lost in her own thoughts and she was brought back to the room where the Suits of Armor were when Chandler was mumbling about wedgies or something.. Her eyebrows raised quickly, a smirk played upon her lips, and she tried not to laugh. "Did you say my cousin gave you wediges?" asked the blonde laughing.

She shrugged. "Yeah, I heard a little about it. You and Ellie. He was pretty mad. Yet he didn't mention what happened with you two. You guys seemed really close and I hope you guys become friends again because Chandler.. he's miserable without you as his best guy friend." she explained. She hated seeing Alex this way, as if his life had been taken.

Chandler also shrugged his shoulders, though he didn't know why. He just did. The boy chuckled at her, hopefully she wouldn't repeat anything else? SNORT. "Just a bit too much." He looked at her with a face of amusement. ..Wassss he meant to sit on the floor too? But HOW could he with this blooming ice pack. Eh, he could stand.

"Errr...Emma?" She wasn't daydreaming or something was she? She came across to Chandler as someone who messed things up a lot but in a funny way and not like "oh, she messes things up a lot, lets not get too close to her". It was just AMUSING to him. "Ummm....maybeeeeeeeee...." The Hufflepuff regretted saying that now. Face palm. He should have kept that to himself. Yup.

She meant THAT. The whole thing what happened between the three musketeers. "Oh." Chandler frowned a little, he didn't really want to say more but he was surprised that Alex didn't mention what happened with him and Chandler. "Well I guess we're okay now." He shrugged casually, maybe they weren't AS close as before but it was still something right?

Emma looked up at Chandler who was still standing. This was a little awkward, she shrugged. Then he was calling her name. She snapped back into attention. "Uhh, sorry Chandler." she replied, quickly. Then she laughed as he said Maybe. She started bursting out into laughter. Trying to imagine Trixie doing that to someone. Naaaahh.. "Oh wow. Why does she do that?" she wondered, outloud, confused.

The blonde listened and saw that he was frowning. Maybe she shouldn't ask him anything else about this topic. She smiled softly. "That's good. I'm glad."

Silence. Awkward. Emma waited a bit before asking him another question. "So how is Hogwarts going for you?"

Frown. Best sit down then. Chandler attempted to sit down with his leg out so he could then put his ice pack on it but THAT didn't work. FAIL. So he just sat down, it didn't even hurt much anymore but that didn't stop the boy from putting the ice pack back on. It was like it was meant to be there and he couldn't take it off. "Oh no, don't apologise to me. It's not like I told you not to stay up doing 'omework." But she really shouldn't be doing that, Chandler didn't and he wasn't tired at all. He never was. ............>_____________< Yep, shouldn't have said that at ALL. "Err..well...I don't know. She just..did." And it hurt at times. Pout.

"And I zink I'm okay with Ellie too." Chandler shrugged, she didn't need to know that though did she? She just asked about Alex. He didn't even know if Emma actually knew Ellie or not. For all he knew she might of not met her yet. Errr...hi awkward silence? D: Chandler coughed, trying to break this..weird silence. That's what people did right? "It's..going good. I've enjoyed my time zo far at 'Ogwarts....'ow about you?" FAIL. FAIL. FAIL.

‘Yes, yes, I’m a first year’, Gwen told the other girl. And that was about it…
‘How about you?’, she asked. Nika seemed about her age, a little bit older, though.
Noticing her robes, Gwen smiled. ‘Gryffindor, eh?’

Nika was relieved that the girl hadn't asked her if she was a first year too. That always made her so angry. One of the things that peeved her the most actually. Because no she is not a ickle firstie anymore. She's is a grown up second year! "I'm a second year." She said proudly holding up the number 2 with her fingers. She beamed at the younger girl happily. "YUP! A proud lion that's me!" She replied pointing to herself with her thumb. Yet they were now behind in points. Grrr. We will see about that soon snakes.

Nika almost got lost in her thoughts about the points when she realized that she was talking to someone. Curse her competitiveness. Right. Anyways.... Her eyes lingered over to the young girls robes and she smiled as she saw the blue. "Ravenclaw I see?" She said with a slight nod of the head. She didn't know too many of them. There's Ariana and Melina, but really she only knew a few more of them.

She smirked and laughed. "Yeah that's true," she cried, nodding a bit, smiling widely. Yeah, no one was the boss of Emma. The blonde's face lit up with fascination at the next bit. "Oh... um. I see... I believe you.. But I can't imagine Trixie doing that!" she cried. Trixie was soo sweet and an awesome cousin.

"That's good. Yeah, Ellie told me about her relationship with you. She's a good friend of mine," explained Emma, smiling. And then he coughed. Merlin's Beard- why was this sooo awkward? "That's good. Yeah for the majority I have enjoyed myself. I've been getting to know some more people, cake fights with Ellie, walking by the Lake with Brae, and taking over the world with Alex."
