Selina walked inside the bathroom with her sneakers squeaking away with each step. School was barely even begun and she had already attracted some drama. Elektra had pretty much blown her off during the opening feast and she had no idea why. She had an inkling but no concrete answers. Things with her were beyond weird. And not to mention but they were already well into the first week of school and she had not seen Violet at all. Was Elektra keeping her away? She hoped not.

One of the bathroom stalls jiggled a little bit before the door opened and out came a very familiar brunette. It was Violet who was adjusting her dress. She brushed aside some of her hair out of her face and then turned to head towards the sink to wash her hands. After she had done so she noticed there was someone else who had entered the bathroom, who had very squeaky shoes. When Violet dried her hands she leaned over to look who it was and she gasped seeing Selina Skylar. Violet said excitedly,"Ahh Hi Sely!" She skipped over to her best friend and asked lightly,"How are you?"

[Elektra's Outfit]Humming to a song she had listened to while she was away with her brother, she continued to take in the sights of her "home." Hogwarts hadn't changed. She was glad. If it changed any more she would be walking around like a chicken without a head. Humming a little louder which turned to singing as she saw no one around in the hall she ran her fingers through her hair and looked around for that famous bathroom. "Now that you're gone
I feel like myself again, grieving the things I can't repair and willing..." Elektra sang out a little louder until she walked into the bathroom and her voice cut right off seeing Violet...and...oh bloody hell. Selina as well. Elektra stood by the entrance to the bathroom looking at Violet and Selina and Elektra clears her throat. "Ignore what you just heard."

Selina grinned ear to ear when Violet spoke to her. It seemed that she had been wrong after all- Violet was not mad at her. That was a relief. She was afraid that somehow whatever Elektra was mad at Selina about had caught on. No such thing had occurred. "I'm great Violet! How about yourse-". Just then a soaring, rich alto timbre filled the bathroom.

The redhead turned her head to the side and saw Elektra standing in the bathroom. For a moment, with all of them standing in the bathroom, it felt like old times. It wasn't old times anymore though. Things had changed... They all were so different, "Um... Hey Elektra."

Violet smiled brightly as she began listening to Selina's response but she was cut off for the voice a very lovely alto began echoing throughout the bathroom. She turned her head looking for the source and her violet eyes landed on the bathroom door. The voice had come from Elektra and she immediately had stopped singing when she saw that Violet and Selina had heard her.

Then she giggled when Elektra tried to tell them to ignore what she had just done. Violet then said,"Why would we do such a thing?! It sounded lovely Elektra!" She smiled and then paused realizing that the three of them were all together in bathroom like they always used to do when they were younger. Of course...things had changed...they had changed.

Elektra just looked at both of them. She felt a little awkward walking into the bathroom singing as loud as she did and even in front of Violet and Selina. Oh bloody hell that was too embarassing. Elektra lowered her head for a second then picked it up and walked to the sinks and turned the faucet as she looked at herself in the mirror seeing that she had little bags under her eyes and she looked over at Violet and Selina. "You can continue talking what you two were talking about before I embarassed myself in front of you lot. I'm not staying in here. I think I might take a walk around the school grounds." Elektra grabbed a paper towel and lightly dampened it and fixed her makeup that was under her eyes and turned the faucet off and she looked at herself in the mirror once again and she sighs and tosses the paper towel over her shoulder hitting it into the garbage and she looks over at the garbage shocked that she got it in and she looked at Violet and chuckled. "Looks like I am pretty good at sports not involving a broom right?"

Elektra was talking to her again. Thank Merlin. It was like some kind of miracle. Perhaps the whole episode at the opening feast was a sort of flop. Maybe everything she had been pondering the last few days was really just nothing to even worry about. Sure, Elektra was leaving to go off and wander the grounds, but even before she left Elektra was not one to stick around in one place to long. She was a free bird. Whatever was wrong before seemed to have escaped Elektra's mind.

Selina chuckled at Elektra's comment about the broom and said, "Yeah that experience at my house proved that perhaps you should stick to things on land, don't you think Lek?"

Feeling a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders Selina replied, "Why would you feel that way? It sounded great Elektra, really it did." Thank Merlin that things were better now. All was forgiven.

Elektra raised her eyebrow looking right at Selina. Did she really just speak to Elektra. Who gave her the right to talk to her? "Last I checked I was talking to Violet...and not you so..." She said before shrugging her shoulders and looked around. "I don't think my mouth ever blurted out the words, 'What do you think Selina?' now did they?" She looked at Violet. "Look I'll be by the portraits if you want to talk to me without her around." She said shooting a look to Selina with her piercing emerald eyes then looking back at Violet.

Violet's eyes widened when she heard Elektra respond to Selina so...out of character. Yes of course it was still Elektra, but something was certainly different about her now. She seemed, the most changed out of all of them. Then after she answered Selina so harshly Violet was then speechless. Violet truthfully disliked these awkward moments..she never would have imagined that it would happen with Selina and Elektra. And now that it had happened she wasn't entirely sure what to say.

Shock. That was the only sensation that Selina felt at the present moment. Elektra, who was being pleasant several moments before, had turned to Selina and snapped at her in a matter of seconds. She was taken aback by the sincerity in Elektra's voice when she unkindly told Selina that she was not speaking to her. Not only was it rude, but it was unexpected. Elektra was her friend and although things had been awkward at the feast she assumed everything was fine.

Why was Elektra treating her like this? What had she done to offend her? "Talk to me without her around?" Selina repeated in shock. Elektra had just verbalized that she did not want to talk with Selina in the room and had insinuated that she did not even want to talk to Selina. The redhead took a step forward and said, "What is that supposed to mean? Why are you being such a jerk to me?"

Every single time Elektra looked at Selina all she could think of was when she went to the three broomsticks and saw THEM together. HOW DARE SHE! How dare she have the nerve to take him from her. Selina was already pushing Elektra enough since the feast, but now...she couldn't fight it anymore. Elektra just finally snapped at Selina. "Tell me Selina how do the sloppy seconds taste?" And just like that...you could feel the tension in the bathroom. You could cut it with a knife. Elektra just simply gave probably the meanest glare she ever gave to Selina. But in the back of Elektra's dark mind was Oh, Merlin why is Violet here right now? I don't want her to see me like this. But that anger was start to boil up inside of her, and one wrong move could turn this conversation ugly.

Sloppy seconds? Was Elektra seriously going to bring her boyfriend into the conversation. What did Gideon do that was so terrible. Yes, Selina knew that Elektra and Gideon had kissed- he had told her- yet Selina could not even begin to understand what Gideon had done that was so terrible. More importantly, why was Elektra punishing Selina for dating him? Sloppy seconds... that was the most offensive thing she had ever heard Elektra say to her.

The redhead fished for some sort of reply to Elektra but came up short every time. There was not one thought that could coherently form in Selina's mind. She was even more shocked than she had been several seconds prior. Then she finally could formulate some sort of thought. "Sloppy seconds?" she repeated in disbelief, "What do you mean sloppy seconds? How dare you say that to me."

"HOW DARE I?! HOW DARE YOU!" Elektra shouted to Selina. Wow...she didn't think she would snap like this, but this anger has been building up inside her for months. "To think I was gonna come by and surprise you lot, but then I had to stumble into the Three Broomsticks to find my 'Best Friend' being all cute and cuddly with Gideon bloody Gert. I swear if my heart could have it would have fell right through my chest and crumble onto the floor from what I saw. How could you do this to me? I thought you were my friend Selina! I THOUGHT I TRUSTED YOU!!!" With suc anger Elektra yelled and punched the mirror above the sink feeling the glass crack and cut into her skin and she ignored the pain. This was nothing compared to what she had went through in Russia. Elektra lowered her hand letting blood fall from her knuckles and drip onto the floor as she tried to control her heavy breathing.

"I didn't know you liked Gideon, Elektra! I was not stabbing you in the back for dating someone I liked, especially because I didn't even know you liked him. You never told me! I had to find out from my boyfriend and it was kind of awkward, alright? Don't act like this is my fault and I betrayed your trust. You decided not to tell me, you decided to leave without saying goodbye, you decided to leave again when you came back the second time. Don't blame me for what happened. I am your friend and am still your friend!"

In a fit of rage Elektra punched the mirror a part of it shattered and sent blood trickling down her hand. Selina's face when white and she stepped forward to help her friend, "Merlin Elektra! Let me help you-"

Elektra was now giving a blank stare. Elektra was just not there anymore. Her mind wandered off. It wandered off to a very dark part in her mind. As she looed down at her hand she started having just horrible memories. Memories she wished she had forgotten. They were toying with her mind now. They just wouldn't stop. She was slowly snapping out of it when she looked up at Selina who was stepping towards her, but Elektra didn't see Selina. She saw something else and that caused Elektra to react by throwing her hurt hand up hitting Selina in her face with the back of her hand. "Stay away from me!" Elektra shouted.

Elektra was hysterical. Her usual grreen eyes were ridden with fast at the sight of the advancing redhead. Yet, Selina was too concerned to even take notice to the crazy behavior of her friend or at least her old friend. The blood was all over the place from Elektra's hand. She just wanted to help her in any way she could.

She took a step forward toward Elektra and suddenly she was back handed by Elektra. Contrary to the way Selina held herself she was small. True, there was fire behind the tiny girl but she was not strong in any way but personality. She was athletic and fit, but Elektra had a few inches on Selina. Not only that but Elektra was raving like a mad man, when she hit Selina she was aiming to hurt her.

As her hand blasted across Selina's face she went stumbling back and out her hands behind herself to catch the sink. In pain she turned her face away from the two girls in the bathroom. Her fingers reached up to her mouth and pulled it away to examin the damage... she was bleeding.

She looked wounded at Elektra and said softly, "Elektra...?"

Elektra still looked in shock as she looked at Selina blinking a couple of times and started to feel a slight pain in her hand and she looked back down at her hand and she winced slightly seeing the blood trickle off her fingers and she looks back up at Selina then over to Violet and swallows spit. "Vi- I- I think I should go...back to the common room and get myself patched up...right?"

Skipping into the bathroom before her Care of Magical Creatures class, she just needed to put something on her face. She was never good at this so she needed more time.

Muggle make-up.

Erin walked towards the large mirror opposite the cubicles, moved closer and started fiddling the things from her bag. Oh there it is! First things first, powder. And then, the blush on. Bam! She doesn't know how to use this.

And Selina could not move, she could not speak, she could not do much of anything. Elektra had hit her. That was the only thought that ran through her brain over and over again. Elektra had hit her. She had actually tried to and succeeded in hitting Selina. Where had that come from and why did she hit her with all of her might?

Selina's blue eyes sparkled in tears... she was in pain, she was bleeding and Elektra had caused it. Without another word she looked Elektra dead in the eye and left the bathroom. She had to get to the Common Room as quickly as possible.

Helga strolled into the girls bathroom, feeling drained. She looked at the inscriptions on the walls. The life of Potter amd Weasley seemed exciting, unfortunatly they didn't attend Hogwarts anymore. She sighed, it would of been alot more exciting.

Glenn walked into the bathroom. Her eyes skimmed over the adventures of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley on the door, she had memorised the information already. Her hair was wild, the frizzy curls flying everywhere and twigs and leaves were spread among it.

She started picking out twigs out of her hair before giving up and instead started critically analysing her appearance in the mirror.

Zhenya held the door open for Laura as she walked in to the bathroom. She took one look in the mirror and laughed. She was COVERED in mud, her hair was hard as the mud hardened. Her face had smudged mud with tear lines streaming down her face from laughing so much. She had a bruise on the side of her face where she must have either ran into a Topiary or smacked on the ground, and her leg had a bruise all down the side. It was from the bindings which must have pulled her leg when she and Laura kept falling down. How did she not have any broken bones? It was a very funny sight.

Laura walked into the bathroom and went straight to a mirror she couldn't believe how she looked, her hair had mud in it, her face was covered in mood, her clothes were covered in mud and her arms had bruises on them but well at least she had no broken bones which was a good think, if anyone had seen them like this they would have had a fit. "We look like we've been fighting in mud." Laura giggled.

Zhenya agreed - "I'm just thankful that there was no blood," she said. "Although that would be even more convincing - we could have walked the corridors pretending we had gotten into a punch up," she laughed.

"Wait!" she said, and pulled out a camera from her bag. She thought it might come in handy to remember the Hogwarts Celebration, "Come here," she said to Laura and set the camera up on timer. She smiled at the camera, waiting for the flash to go off.
