This corridor is located below the prefect bathroom and is on both sides of the castle on the fourth floor. There is a staircase which leads to the Fourth Floor balcony and one which connects students to the Library.

The eighteen year old adjusted her ~~ridiculous~~hat as she continued to place a trail of swedish fish down the hallway from the entrance of the library towards the stairs. She knew Alec was busy studying for NEWTs in there and he'd definitely come this way when he left. Ella did feel kind of guilty about wasting candy, though. Only kind of because lately she'd been thinking more and more about how it rotted your teeth and perhaps fruit was a better thing to eat and--oh gosh, she was turning into Oakey! O.o ANYWAY, despite being conflicted on the subject, she continued on, stopping the trail only when she was at the opposite end of the hallway to where the entrance was and in a spot she could hide herself away until she heard him coming.

And now she just needed to wait. Nervously too because even though they'd been dating for quite a while, there was still a chance that Alec Summers wasn't so keen on having a wrinkly, grey Head Girl for a Valentine. And on the off chance that this was the case, she was going to pretend she'd taken an interest in deep sea fishing and declare that as her knew life path to save herself from any embarrassment. YUP. Solid backup plan, that was. Smart Ella Bishop was smart. And dressed as a fisherwoman. And extremely anxious.

Oh gosh, please let this work.

How long had he spent studying? An hour? Two? Five minutes? Most of the DAY? In all honesty, Alec didn't really remember but it did feel like he had cooped himself up in that library for a long time. Studying was hard, you know. And it took him a really long time to bring himself up to open his textbook and notes that he needed to try and memorise. There had been no food there, either. None. What a tra--

... BLINK.

Oh?

Where those... fishes?! All thoughts of grabbing himself a snack were forgotten as he squinted down at the food on the ground. Who would leave fish lying around? Was he meant to follow it? And, very importantly, why couldn't he see these fishes properly? The boy rubbed his eyes before blinking up at the corridor ahead. So... the fishes were leading towards... somewhere. End of the corridor.

... Yeah... Alec was confused. ... And curious. So what was he going to do? Follow it, of course!

Readjusting his grip on his bag, the boy started ambling forwards, following the line of the fishes. It probably wasn't that hard since no other interesting items were on the ground. Just the fish. But looking down at them was giving him an odd crick at the back of his neck, which he went ahead to rub at. After a loooooong while, Alec reached a spot that was at the opposite end of the hallway from the entrance to the library. Still confused, he looked up and down the corridor. Had he reached his destination or...?

Someone was coming.

SOMEONE WAS COMING!

It took her until the person was only a few steps away to realize considering her hearing lately but she did eventually hear and nearly had a panic attack in anticipation. Oh no, okay, this was happening. Why was she so nervous again? AHJKSLHLJKHS! What if he hated this? GAH! But there was NO turning back now so the eighteen year old peeked her head out to make sure that Alec was the one coming towards her and when that was confirmed, she slowly came out from her hiding spot and sheepishly held up the bag of Swedish fish.

"HI!" Real casual, Ells. Merlin. "I...mean... Hi Alec!" Shuffle. "Erm I know that we're...well together and I sort of figured you would be anyway because of that...but I ...I didn't want to be presumptuous, y'know? And so I just thought I should...erm...do this?" Oh gosh, she was messing this all up. The Head Girl adjusted her hat with her free hand and took a step forward.

Spit it out, Ellaphant.

"I was just sort of wondering if you'd o-FISH-ally be my valentine." Cue cheesy grin and wiggling of the Swedish fish bag. "Because you're the only fish in the sea for me and yeah." Lip biting was happening now too. So....your turn to talk, boyfriend person.

Alec was... confused, to say the least. So much so that he reached up a hand and ruffled his hair. What if this wasn't meant for him? What if it was a trap? More hair ruffling took place. Yeah... maybe next time he should think about these things before following fishes off to--

PERSON!

... Or... wait... "Ells?"

... It WAS her! A small grin spread across his face as she started talking... and continued talking... and talked even more. This was amusing, did she know? And he was still confused but if she was going to give an explanation, he'd just... wait until she was done, then. Yeah, stand here with his hands now in his pockets and his eyebrows raised. Why was she doing this in the middle of a corridor, again? ... He'd ask later. Once she was done...

...

...

And then he started laughing. Why? O-FISH-ally. And there was the wiggling of the fishes -- she had MORE fishes? -- in the bag. Puns. Puns were awesome. Was this why she was wearing that coat and the hat? More puns. "Well... I... hey!" Because he hadn't said that before. "This is a really unique way of asking someone to be their Valentine, you know." Really. Well done, girlfriend.

... She was looking for an answer, though, right? Smiling, he slowly shuffled forwards and held out his hand. "Yeah, I'll o-FISH-ally..." He could make puns too. "... be your Valentine. You're the only fish in the sea for me, too." Trying not to wince, he leant down -- she was much shorter, you see -- and planted a small kiss on her cheek. There. And could she not bite her lip? Because... reasons. He had them and it was taking every ounce of his energy to not stare at that area.

"So... this was all for me?" Dumb question but he wanted to know.

He was laughing at her? Ella frowned slightly and scuffed her toe, thinking she should have done without the hat. It was the hat, right? And the fact that this was entirely silly and not at all romantic and oh gosh, she'd messed up. Maybe she should apol- Wait, unique? "I...not bad unique, right? I mean...wasthisreallystupid?" Because if it was stupid, he should totally let her down gently. Just saying.

But then...he was smiling and reaching for her hand which were both good signs. Ella smiled sheepishly and took his hand, lacing her fingers through his. Her smile widened considerably when he agreed to be her fish-er-Valentine and if possible, more so at the kiss. "I'm really glad. Can't think of a better one, honestly." A Valentine, that is.

Was he really asking her that? Ella nodded and looked up at him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with her free hand. "Yeah. I mean, you do a lot for me and I just figured I could return the favor and... ...dress up like a fisherman for you?" Snort! Okay, this was sort of funny. "Does you agreeing also mean you'll accompany me to the prefect event?"

Alec didn't really mean to laugh at her but... this was funny. The fishes! The puns! He did stop when he noticed the look on her face. "Please don't frown," Please? There was nothing to frown about, right? Yeah? ... Bad unique? "I..." Alec shook his head before continuing, "No, it's a great unique. And not stupid. Relax, I love it." Cue one of his big grins. And cheer up, please? Smiles look much better on your face, Bishop.

He gave her hand a gentle squeeze. This was nice, did she know? "I'm really glad too," That she had asked him in the first place. And... how did she know that he had been in the library? She hadn't stalked him all the way there, right? The walk was a long one from the common room. ... Wait... what? Better? What was she...? "Can't think of a better...?"

The tucking of the hair thing was nice as well. What else was nice was the way she had thought of doing something for him. ... By dressing up as a fisherwoman. The boy let out a small chuckle at that. The puns! This was funny. "You know you didn't have to, right?" But it was nice so... thank you, Head Girlfriend. "YEAH!" ... Pause. "I mean... yeah... yeah, of course, I will." GRIN.

... He... was just going to ignore the fact that they were heading up the event together.

Don't frown.

She hadn't even realized she'd been doing it so she quickly bit her lip instead. See? She stopped. She'd just been worried, y'know? That he'd hate this or something. The laughing hadn't helped her worrying either, just saying. The grinning did help, though. And the reassuring words but had he told her to relax? That was new. Ella raised her eyebrows slightly but eventually she smiled. "I'm...I'm glad you like it."

Hand squeezes were returned and Ella tilted her head, wondering what was going on in that head of his. She could practically see the wheels turning and was going to ask Alec what was up when he inquired about what she'd meant. "Oh, I just meant...well that I couldn't think of a better Valentine. Or boyfriend...or person." Cheesy, she knew. It was all true, though. "So yeah, that's what I meant."

"But I wanted to?" Shrug. It really wasn't that big of a deal. "And I thought it might be fun and...yeah." The eighteen year old laughed lightly at his enthusiasm and shuffled forward, placing a kiss on his chin. Short girlfriend problems and all that. "Brilliant. Looking forward to it."

And yeah, they'd be working the event together. Didn't mean they couldn't sneak away for a dance or two, right? Right.

The biting lip thing didn't help much but... it was a start, right? Better than the frowning? Except, now nearly all of his attention was focused on that lip area. A sheepish expression crossed his face before he reached up a hand and ruffled his ~~grey~~ hair. She noticed nothing, right? "Awesome. Erm... thanks for asking?" Were you... meant to say that? He... didn't know.

Alec didn't understand the head tilting or why she was looking at him like that but he did understand what it was she was trying to say. "... Oh!" Cue more sheepishness. "That's... I... that's really nice of you to say, you know." And yeah, cheesy. Cheesy but nice. The kind that earned you waffles and kisses and hugs. Just saying. He pulled her hand closer towards him and kissed the back of it. "Thanks!"

He nodded slowly. "That's nice that you wanted to," ... Was he... saying that a lot? Shrug. He cast this aside, especially when she leaned up to kiss his... chin? Small girlfriend was small. "Me too!" GRIN.

"Erm, I was going to go back to the common room so... unless you're busy catching fishes..." Nigel would be proud, right? "... you think you want to come?"

She tried not to notice, really she did. Only it was sort of hard and so Ella moistened her lips and shuffled a bit, smiling a little wider when Alec ruffled his hair. "Yeah, I...anytime."

He was sweet, Alec was. And whenever he kissed her hand like that, it made her feel sort of like a Princess. Y'know, like the ones in the muggle Disney movies? Princes always seemed to be kissing their hands. Did that make Alec her prince? He did have prince-like hair. Hm. But he had said something, right? What...had he said again? Oh! That it was nice of her. "I'm just telling the truth." Blush.

Busy catching fishes? Ella blinked and then started to laugh, nudging him gently in the arm. "You're silly, y'know. And nope, not busy. Just...let me clean up my mess first?" And the Head Girl gave his hand another squeeze before slowly making the trip down the corridor and back, cleaning up the fish she'd dropped on the floor. When she was done, she slipped her hand into his again and smiled. "Ready." And slowly, she led him towards the stairs.

Sooo. Grace hadn't really moved far. She went down two flights of stairs, and then decided to put her second poster up in the fourth floor somewhere. it was mostly because she was tired. She couldn't be bothered to cart it all the down the stairs either. So fourth floor it was. The library was on this floor anyway, so she was sure lots of people would see her poster. She hoped nobody would try and take it down though. Because that would be bad. Leaning against the wall, she got her sticky tape out and pressed some onto the four corners of her poster. Theree. Nice and sticky.

Letting her bag drop on the floor, she approached the wall, and carefully pressed the poster onto the wall. Andd it didn't fall off. Perfect.

Andd perfect. She stepped back to look at it, and beamed. She was so happy. But now she was going to go and have a nap. Turning around, she wandered back downstairs.
