| | The Bronze Knocker 
If you've reached the seventh floor corridor, then you have almost reached the Ravenclaw Common Room... assuming you know where it is.
At the top of a spiral staircase is a door without a doorknob or keyhole but a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. In order to enter the Ravenclaw common room, a person must answer a riddle asked by the eagle knocker; if they answer incorrectly, they must wait for someone else who gets it right. This might lead overconfident non-Ravenclaws to believe that they could break into the common room at any time, but then they would have over-exerted themselves climbing all the way up there only to be made to feel stupid by a simple door knocker.
If you're waiting on a friend, you can have a seat on the staircase leading up to the knob-less door and feel grateful that you don't have to walk all this way every day just to go to bed.

Would it upset him though, if she said no about the homework? Charlotte didn't want to do that, even if she was being all torn about if it was good or bad. The good part was that she would be able to work on dueling things, the bad part was that she had this little niggling thing about if it was fair and right... but if she thought about taking it so that Rooney wouldn't be upset and all his hard work wouldn't be for nothing, that made it feel okay. Thus convinced, she held her hands out for the homework.
Huh? A favour?
EEP.
Charlotte nodded, trying for nonchalant. Yes. She... knew that, it was just that when he SAID it outright like that it made her ears feel hot and she didn't know what to do with her hands. "Um..... YES?" She prompted, a little too loudly, quite by accident. Where was he going with this? Oh. He was her friend. Rooney was about to nod and say okay and that he was just glad that it was healing well...when she spoke again. What would he do? Right... So she was clued in that he couldn't do anything to protect her and he was an ultimate wimp. "I... uh... I..." Rooney pushed his hair back and sighed. "I'm sorry, what?" It was true that he didn't know what he would do, given that situation, but the fact that she also knew that was a kick in his gut. And he was so, so very sorry, Miss Charlotte.
At least she knew what was happening with his feelings, anyway.
Roo half smiled at the recognition and then moved on with his thought and talk process. "So... if you know that... why haven't you..." Sigh. "You haven't spoken to me about it..." And he just wanted to know why, and why she couldn't address this whole thing without hurting his feelings a little bit more. "Is it because of Blaise? Do you like him?" And then to uh...get rid of all the awkward, he placed the homework into her hands and picked up his satchel. "It doesn't matter if it is. I don't mind."

It wasn't like he could make it not happen, he didn't have a time turner right?
Whyyy... why hadn't she what? Spit it out Roooooo! "Spoken to you about.... about what?" There were SO MANY THINGS that she hadn't spoken to him about really, that it could mean ANYTHING. ANYTHING AT ALL. Was speaking to him a favour? Was--EEEEEERKK?!?
Her eyes went wide and she looked down at the homework suddenly in her hands and then back up at Rooney. "I don't like Blaise." Wait, that sounded WRONG! "I mean, I DO like him, but we're just friends, even if he probably should like ME," Right? She was SO nice to him, "'sides, I just got out of a three year relationship, that's a LONG time you know, so probably I should play the field and um, like be a strong confident woman who don't need no man." Char said this in her wisest most worldly voice, though it still had the air of someone repeating something she'd heard from older people.... which is exactly what the case was.
Oh wait... wait.... "Is that what you wanted for me to speak to you about? I mean... I mean did you find out about Wesley already?" She hadn't told THAT many people had she? Or.... okay actually she kind of told everyone pretty much as soon as they started talking, but STILL.

Or.... okay actually she kind of told everyone pretty much as soon as they started talking, but STILL. Was it normal to begin to feel sick after you had a little outburst like that? Was it also normal to be considering stealing a kiss and then running away? Maybe he really was having a breakdown in relation to girls. Well...one girl. But Miss Charlotte was enough of a hoot to cover a whole group of girls. A gaggle.
..........
....................
........................
OUT OF A RELATIONSHIP?! Excuse me?! "Wh... wh... HUH?!" Had he found out about Wesley already? What about him? Had he died? Was Rooney trying to get a kiss from a WIDOW?! Oh, oh this was all the worst. The worst information. The worst situation. Rooney was going to just melt into a puddle on the stairs and feel awful about this for the rest of his life. "I'msorryforyourloss!" That was what people said in these moments, yeah? He would have offered her a hug, but he thought that her being a 'strong confident woman who don't need no man' meant that hugs were off the cards and so was anything else. "Just wanted you to..uh... think about...uh...think about being my first kiss. It's not a big deal though, I swear. I can ask someone else. I just..." Oh wow.. How was this so hard to put into words? He just wanted to take control of getting his first kiss before he ended up at theatre school for the summer and thrown into something that required a kiss. He didn't want his first to be a stage one. He wanted... needed it to be of his own accord.
Maybe he would run now.
Out of here. For good.
Was this goodbye to Miss Charlotte? No, no.. This was just him tugging on his satchel strap and struggling to stay standing.
TEENAGERS, NO.

TEENAGERS, NO. Her loss? No way, it was Wesley's loss! Char shook her head. "He's not dead, he just transferred to Beauxbatons and we decided that it was for the best that we end things." And she had decided she would ignore the fact that Wesley had been relieved about it. Yup. Better that way. Soo... so yeah. She was a single pringle now!
And there wasn't even a TINY GUESS in her mind that THAT would be the favour that Roo wanted. "NO!" She blurted. And then, "I mean, DON'T kiss anyone else, okay? I mean... you can if you want to.... who WOULD you kiss?" WHO WOULD BECOME HER ENEMY? WHO? THIS was a problem. A BIG problem. "Roo," Oh gosh. Char fanned herself with the stack of homework, "Do you know what rebounds are?"
SHE COULDN'T KISS HIM! SHE DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE ROONEY BRONWYN ON A REBOUND!

SHE COULDN'T KISS HIM! SHE DIDN'T WANT TO WASTE ROONEY BRONWYN ON A REBOUND! Hah. Hah. HAH. Right. Not dead. Just kidding. He had obviously been kidding about him being dead. But he wasn't yet sure if this was a good thing or not. Did this mean that they would end up being that on-off couple that everyone was always sick of? He didn't want to have to watch Miss Charlotte be single, then be taken, then be single again. So. Much. Effort. "Well I'm glad you're happy about it?" She seemed it. Was she? That would mean she wouldn't want to kiss him if she was sOOOO happy with being alone now. She was a single snail parent now. Maybe Roo would just try being the cool uncle that the snails loved.
-- Um.
What was THAT reaction for??
Was Miss Charlotte okay? He wanted to respond immediately, but she continued to talk and he was just overwhelmed with answers. She didn't want him to kiss anyone else, but he could if he wanted to. And then he needed to know who it would be? And WHAT on earth was a rebound? "Well, the dictionary says that a rebound is to bounce back through the air after hitting something hard.. I'm not sure how it applies here though." Or in any part of this conversation. Was she about to school him on something though? Did he need his notebook? "I hadn't thought about kissing anyone else, by the way." But now he was probably going to end up analysing everyone he came into contact with for that very reason.
This was her fault.
But WHY couldn't he kiss anyone?

But WHY couldn't he kiss anyone? "Yeah because I was going to break up with him anyway." Sooooooo she was happy. Yes. Even if she would MISS Wesley just for friendy reasons, it did make things a whole ton easier.
"Rebounds is when after a relationship you go rebound from it by kissing someone else, and that rebound person isn't the proper person that you date, you just kiss them to bounce back. So I can't kiss you because my next one will be a rebound! And I don't want to waste YOU on a rebound!"
It was a CONUNDRUM! How was she supposed to get around it?

Why was this whole thing full of different terms and things and w h a T. Rooney really wanted the stairs to swallow him up now, because he wasn't sure what he could even say back to that. Well, apart from what he did say. "I don't get it." Wow, what an awful Ravenclaw he was. "Who are you going to kiss? When are you going to kiss them?" He only had until summer to get his first kiss done! He didn't want it to get to the train home and have to grab a student and beg for them to kiss him so he wasn't the unkissable kid at theatre school.
ALSO why didn't she want to waste HIM on a rebound?
Did that mean he wasn't good enough for a rebound?
Or was he too good?
OH GIRLS WERE SO CONFUSING.
Why wasn't there a book for this?!

Why wasn't there a book for this?! "Well you're boyfriend material, not just rebound material so it would be a waste." Did he get it? Char knew these things, she had already had one boyfriend after all. "I don't know. I don't..... can I tell you something and you promise not to tell anyone and promise not to laugh?" PROMISE promise? BIG SERIOUS PROMISE please ROO. Because this was IMPORTANT.

| ∞ 17 | RP entrepreneur | defies gravity | Miss George is flawless | blanket burrito lyfe Boyfriend material? Rooney giggled laughed - LIKE A MAN - and then shrugged a little nonchalant. "I mean, my robes really are made from boyfriend material. Wanna see the tag?" He grinned, q little more glad that this was a good thing, that he was not rebound material and better material than that. So whoever Miss Charlotte kissed next, he knew that he would be better than them. So much better. And that gave him a really nice warmth in his heart and his tummy and maybe in his cheeks. Golly.
Roo wasn't sure what she could possibly tell him and he decided to take a little seat on the steps, patting the space beside him for her to join him. "You can tell me anything, Miss Charlotte. Anything. Ever." And he'd try not to judge her or think anything that he shouldn't. But it was okay because his first thought was always what society made him think and his second...was what he really thought. So said a book, anyway. Come sit, Miss Charlotte. Come sit.
And talk about kissing some more.

And talk about kissing some more. What? Boyfriend material robes? Charlotte blinked once and then nodded. "Yes okay, show me!"
What was different about boyfriend material robes compared to normal robes? Did he know that even if he wasn't wearing special robes he was still boyfriend material? "Okay." She went and perched on the step next to him and took a deep breath, then let it out and looked around to make sure nobody was listening in, then she took ANOTHER DEEP BREATH and this time, straight after letting it out, she whispered, "I actually don't know that much about kissing."
Because... he definitely thought she did right? Everyone thought she did, yes? Because of Wesley? Because of having a boyfriend who was older for three whole years? And she LET people think that, because she LIKED people thinking she was very wise and knew all the things already, but actually... not so much.
But also... in an even quieter voice, Char confessed, "I'm not... sure about it yet either. I mean.... I think I like the idea of proper kissing, but I'm not... sure."
Did he understand? It was all kind of scary, and overwhelming, especially because everyone was doing it now apparently and Char REALLY didn't want people thinking she was a baby or behind or anything like that.
... he wasn't going to laugh, right? She tried to look tough instead of anxious and ended up STARING ROONEY DOWN.

... he wasn't going to laugh, right? She tried to look tough instead of anxious and ended up STARING ROONEY DOWN. Oh no. She wanted to SEE?! Roo chuckled nervously, dropped the shoulder of his robe and tried to show her the label. And then he'd attack and give her a huge hug when she tried to look and therefore she wouldn't want to even look at the label. The lying label. He really wasn't wearing clothes made of 'boyfriend material'. Come on, Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn. Cooome take a lookie. Loooookie loooookie looooooookieeeeeeee. TIME 4 HUGZ, GURL.
Rooney Bronwyn was floored by this new...Charlotte, and he leaned in close to hear what she had to say. Because it wasn't like she was using her normal volume level. Hell, she was using nothing near her usual volume. She was practically silent right now. He gave her a gentle smile and a nudge. "All I know about kissing... is what I've heard older girls talking about." And even then, he had no idea whatsoever about the things they actually spoke about. "But..." He lowered his voice as quiet as she had then. "I need you to be my first kiss. Before summer. Before I go to theatre school... Before they ask me to kiss someone on stage..."
So she needed to say yes now.
And then he'd wait until summer. And if she hadn't kissed him by then...then he was going to have to find someone else. And that wasn't what he wanted.
But why was she staring?
Had she ever read a book where staring usually led to that kiss? The staring was the build up, and he was already waiting patiently and being as good as he could.

He lowered his voice as quiet as she had then. "I need you to be my first kiss. Before summer. Before I go to theatre school... Before they ask me to kiss someone on stage..."
So she needed to say yes now.
And then he'd wait until summer. And if she hadn't kissed him by then...then he was going to have to find someone else. And that wasn't what he wanted.
But why was she staring?
Had she ever read a book where staring usually led to that kiss? The staring was the build up, and he was already waiting patiently and being as good as he could. She peeked at the label but?? It wasn't-- OH. OHHHH. Char let out a weak giggle. The kind where it was obviously faked, but only because she didn't want him to dwell on the part where she hadn't got the joke and think she was dumb. SHE WAS JUST DISTRACTED OKAY?
For good reason too. Because Rooney Bronwyn wanted her to be his first kiss. But also because he was supposed to kiss someone on stage? "Are... are on stage kisses the same as normal kisses?" Except with people watching? Could he just.... NOT kiss anyone on stage?
But she needed to get all this straight. "So.... so I have to kiss someone so that I can kiss you and not be a rebound, so you can kiss me before you have to kiss someone in front of everyone?"

But she needed to get all this straight. "So.... so I have to kiss someone so that I can kiss you and not be a rebound, so you can kiss me before you have to kiss someone in front of everyone?" Okay yeah, he wasn't paying attention to the fact she hadn't understood, because he was used to her putting on a reaction for his benefit. He knew that she hadn't understood any of what was happening in the show and had completely held back his wanting to kiss her then because of it. But Char was in the perfect spot now for him to wrap his arms snug around her and give her a squeeze. "Don't overthink it." Although, Rooney was well aware that saying that would only make her overthink it. Luckily, he was here and could provide some sort of semi-distraction.
Right?
Putting her down after giving her a good ol' friend hugging, he shrugged. "I don't think so. They don't mean anything...? They're still a kiss though." And still being a kiss made him only want to get his first out of the way before then. Because what if he was bad at it and his audience could TELL? If he was kissing Miss Charlotte before then, then she could probably tell him if he was bad at it. Actually, note to self: make Miss Charlotte promise that. "I'd like that, yes..." This whole rebound business was a lot to take in, honest. He had just wanted to be a kiss, but now he had to wait until she found the perfect person to kiss on a rebound. "Can't you just...not rebound..?" Because, that was they could get this whole thing out of the way.
Not right now of course...
He was sure all of this confusion had put a smell on his breath.

He was sure all of this confusion had put a smell on his breath. She wasn't supposed to overthink it (Rooney Bronwyn was hugging her). Okay. She wouldn't then (she would, but later), and stage kisses don't mean things and he wanted her to NOT rebound and WHY WAS THIS SO COMPLICATED? 
All of a sudden Char just decided that she WOULD. SHE WOULD. SHE WAS A GRYFFINDOR RIGHT? GRYFFINDORS WERE BRAVE. She decided she would, so she did..... Sort of.
SMOOCH FOR YOU Rooney Bronwyn..... except she missed his mouth and got his nose by accident.
ACK! RUNAWAYRUNAWAYRUNAWAY!
Except since she was being hugged, running away wasn't a thing, so Char just froze. Rabbit in headlights.
If she stayed very very still... maybe he wouldn't notice?

CHARLOTTE KETTLEBURN HAD JUST ATTACKED HIS FACE WITH HER LIPS WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION -- of course she had his permission for anything, but oh w o w! His nose had been blessed by a beautiful belle. His belle. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to say about this whole thing because he hadn't been in this situation before and all he wanted to do was give her a real kiss. "I HAVE STRESS BREATH." Although she seemed to have preferred the parts of his body that harboured SNOT.
WAIT......
..........
...........
HIS NOSE WAS CHARLOTTE KETTLEBURN'S REBOUND.
Which meant that he wasn't a rebound, so hE COULD KISS HER AND IT WOULD BE OKAY. She had rebounded!!!!! Instead of considering everything that could possibly go wrong, after it already had, Rooney Bronwyn planted a kiss on Miss Charlotte's nose. So she didn't feel like she was the only person in the fun here.
He'd kiss her properly later. When he figured out whAT you were supposed to do.

Errrr what was stress breath? What did that MEAN? Did she make him stressed? WAS HE EVEN STILL BREATHING? What was stre--ERRRK!
Her eyes went wide at the return nose kiss and she just stared at him.
..... and then basically collapsed in a sea of awkward giggles. BAHAHAHAHA!

He'd already messed up and he hadn't even tried to do anything properly to do with kissing. Roo had just tried to make her feel sO much better about the accident and now she was giggling at him. OH.
Did she know just how adorable that was? Ayyyyyyyyyyy.
Roo fell down beside her and put his head on her shoulder. "I was trying to help."

Roo fell down beside her and put his head on her shoulder. "I was trying to help." WAAAAH. Char covered her mouth just as she let out a gigglesnort. Bahaha! "I don't think we--" gigglewheeze "--did it right." NOBODY HAD SEEN RIGHT? She peeked around just to make sure and then peeked at Roo and cracked up laughing again. "I'm sorry." But it WAS funny. And laughing was much much more fun than being embarrassed.

Roo cracked a smile and pushed his hair back again. "I think we did it just fine, Sharky." And he would do it again if she wanted proof that he thought they were doing it fine. "Is my nose your rebound now?" Because he needed clarification before he planted a proper kiss on her face and not on her snot hole.
Although he had to think about keeping her face still long enough to get the right spot and not have her burst into giggles just when he got right close to her lips. She seemed like she would do that.

Wait what? That interrupted the giggles, simply because of confusion. "Can noses even be rebounds?" That seemed strange enough to warrant a bit of extra wondering.

Well, he hoped they could. "I think my nose can take being jealous of the lips that get to rebound your rebound." Was that even a thing? Rebounding a rebound? He needed it to be, because this was going to go in his favour completely.
Although, he definitely was all kissed out for today. "We should sit together to get dinner next week." Make sure that this was more than a rebounded rebound.

Hmmmmm. "I'll ask about it. Someone will know." Someone older. Someone wise. Yes. She would ask. But it meant she didn't have to worry about it right away, right? It was still a bit scary, even if nose kisses were hilarious.
Roo was changing the subject though and Sharky was okay with that. "Okay! I like sitting at your table the best anyway!" Because aside from Rooney, Davie and Daxton were there and so was Dima! Oh and Chloe! All good reasons!
She remembered suddenly about the homework in her hands that he'd done for her and looked down at it. Oh yeah! "Hey Roo? It was real nice that you did my homework, but I don't want to be a cheater okay? So you don't need to do it again okay?"
.... not that she was going to let this lot go to waste though! Hee!

That didn't mean that he wouldn't do it though, just in case she needed it one day. You never knew what was going to happen as days passed and Miss Charlotte could REALLY need this homework at some point. She might lose use of her hands, become blind or even just have no idea what she was supposed to do on an assignment.
And here he, Rooney Bronwyn, was to help. Helping should have been his middle name. But, Alexander did have a regal presence on his strange first name. One day he may need the Alexander to get a job. A normal name. His mother didn't seem to know what those were. "I should finish my own homework..." And write home IMMEDIATELY about this whole kissing thing.

Char beamed at him. Now she had things to go figure out TOO so when he said about his homework she nodded. "Yeah! You should." And and and... she was going to go. She stood up all of a sudden. "See you later, Roo!" Char zoomed off. She needed to find Suri and Chloe STAT.

Well that....... that happened as quickly as could be and he wasn't too aware of what had happened until well after twenty seconds post-leaving. Hand slowly raised, he waved lazily. "Yeah.. Bye, Miss Charlotte." What a swizz. That girl really did do things to his insides. Sent them into a frenzy. They were a frenzy right now.
And continued to be a frenzy as he stumbled up the steps, through the riddle answer and into his common room.
Nose kisses were wonderful.
