The best think of it being the weekend was that uniforms weren’t really necessary now. That was what Beth was taking advantage of as she donned her really likely hideous sweater that should have stayed on the ground as a rug and the rest of what could only be described as her vintage hipster trash outfit. Clearly, the girl had a thing for those little velvet neck chockers even though they made most people feel like they were choking. Yet here she was wearing it, and her trusty floral headphones, as she danced and meandered around the pathways.

As she walked she twirled causing her skirt to billow about and twirl with her. This was fun, as the song came to an end she simply removed the headphones and began to look around at the area near her.

It was beautiful, magical really...or well, muggle magical and maybe wizarding magical. Still, most of all it was floral and that was making the girl's heart sing. On second thought she simply restarted the song the tune now somewhat audible to those walking near her. She didn't care really that people could see her dancing - if they cared it was their own blithering problem of course. "Just let me be your new obsession" she sang out and laughed to herself.

Really, she didn't want to be anyone's obsession...not even Salty's.

Oi Beth…there weren’t many Beth’s at this school were there? Anabeth turned around and couldn’t help but smile when she spotted Reese’s cozy self…gosh, he looked like Paddington bear almost right? All he needed was a blue rain coat and wellies…oh and the red hat but still, he was like Paddington – ooooooh maybe that could be his nickname? She thought with a grin.

”Hey Reesey” she grinned at him as she took a few skipping steps closer to him. When she finally met up with him the blonde simply reached her hand out and gave his hair a little ruffle. ”how’s it going bud? I’m sorry we weren’t slytherins together, it’d have been fun having you in my house” she admitted with a smile and debated giving him a little nudge.

Gosh, she was really…bouncy today.

Beth simply let out a long, hard, dramatic sigh when Reese nixed the new nickname idea. Fine Reesey she simply thought at him as she practically stared at his face. ”Fiiiiine, no fun nicknames. I’ll get one for you one of thses days, I promise.” her promise was gold, he just didn’t know that yet.

”hey…c’mon, maybe the hat just…didn’t think you had a mean bone in your body?” she offered with a shrug, ”or its one of those bate-and-switch moments, make people think your harmless and then BAM you got them in a trap….like a man eating plant?” she offered with a grin – maybe he was like a venus flytrap. Wait no, he was a Hufflepuff.

He’d have to be like the sundew plant her cousin had! ”you could be like…like one of of those carnivorous Drosera plants? The ones we covered the like second week of school?...be all sweet and nice and BAM then it’d be all death by lollipop hugging?” she offered with a beam and yes, it wasn’t exactly a secret that Beth Greyvson was only slightly nerdy.

this badger bites that just got a grin from her, it wasn’t a grin really. It was a full on beam. ”hey, maybe the hats a nutter? We haven’t asked it…for all we know it could be a bit diseased and insnane after all this time” she chuckled grinning over to him. Really, she rather liked the time she spent with Reese, he would easily (in her opinion) make a good third member to their trickster…trio? It would be a trio then.

”don’t all badgers bite?” she asked with a slight grin, because really…everyone got mad now didn’t they? ”yeah, I like the analogy too…and you should tell me about this biting because I do too…really, it’s a habbit. I bit a kid on the face once because he said I looked weak” she wasn’t even lying or playing anyone for a fool this time. It was the truth. She had been so ugh, mad.

”oh…um…I was listening to um…” she paused as she tapped her headphones the way her mother had instructed to when she had charmed them. The little headphones shifted and twisted until they were no longer headphones but a set of palm sized speakers. ”its called new obsession …my cousin had it in her collection” she explained with a grin.

It wasn’t that Beth didn’t like smiling, she did, when she felt motivated to…and really, friends like Reese were great motivation. ”maybe…but isn’t it ancient like older than the Bloody Barron old?” she asked with a slight shrug of the shoulder. Still, this was fun to her – spending time with him and just being friends with someone roughly her own age.

”oh…Reese?” she almost asked his name as if she were truly asking him if the next thing she was about to say was okay with him – not that it really mattered. ”I have a question…so, I should start at the beginning I tried out for the Quidditch team” she informed him with a sheepish grin, ”soooooo if I make the team will you come and watch? You don’t have to cheer or anything…I just…wanted an excuse to beat things with bats” that little comment probably, and very likely, gave away the position she had tried for.

Clearly, she wasn’t a seeker. ”you don’t have to if you know, it could be fun?” she offered still dancing next to him all the while. Clearly, this kid could dance. "you're a good dancer" she complimented him in what was almost a whisper.

Beth just grinned over to him and nudged Reese with her shoulder. ”oooobviously the spell might have like…disintegrated?...and isn’t a Hogwarts thing like didn’t Godric Gryffindor make it?” she shrugged and then smiled over to him again. Reese was fun, really, she enjoyed the time she spent with the firechild.

That was the thing, Reese didn’t know about her, no one did. It was all an act, everything was an act with the grey-eyed dirty blonde haired slytherin girl. Very few people, and by few, that meant mostly her family and Quinn, ever got the truth. The whole truth that is, everyone else seemed to get bits and pieces and the amplified personality was something she did to draw people in, a way to learn about them. Beth Greyvson was nothing more than a social chameleon. ”mmmm yeah, I figured it could be good for the house?”

Shrugging her shoulder she smiled over to him before adding a key part only really Quinn was parley to. ”I went for beater…mostly, ‘cause I kind of want to be able to. knock people out” she was only half-kidding, the girl was a reckless little mess. "you're too sweet, really...someone is going to hurt you and if they ever do lemme know so I can practice hexes on their face"

Beth looked over to him and nodded, ”well, from now on I’ll call you undercover slytherin…or snakeboy if that makes you feel better?” she offered with a grin, maybe he could find a new way to sort people – that would be neat. ”I’d support that, really, a telepathic hat is a bogus sorting. Method” she explained with a sigh as she noticed he wasn’t dancing.

”Reese…whats wrong?” she asked her eyebrow rising as clearly, something had misfired in their conversation. ”…I was talking about quidditch y’know right? Me trying for beater its for the good of them…and you cheering me on will help me” obviously.

She didn’t know that she had hurt him but something about way he stopped dancing made her think he had misheard her somehow. She wasn’t talking about him as like…always she was talking about herself. The little narcissist.

Undercover snakeboy…”okay, I’ll do it undercover snakeboy” she grinned over to him nudging him as she did so. Reese was fun, that was one of the main takeaways she had come with the first night of school.

”nooo, Reeeese there was something – I can tell…I lie enough of the time that I can spot them – usually” she added the usually as a cover for those times when she didn’t catch them. No one was perfect, she was damn well close though.

”…I had a classmate offer to teach me how to manipulate people” she told him with a grin, ”I was so excited” because yeah that was something to be excited about alright.
