Ron smiled, set down his spoon and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't be that way." He put his chin on her head and inhaled, she smelled like flowers, she always smelled like flowers. He smiled to himself, now he knew what Harry had with Ginny.

Ron chuckled, "What won't work?" He knew what he was doing and knew that she would cave eventually but he was having too much fun.

ooc: okay, it's fine that you kept going but I'm really going to ask you to wrap it up soon. Make a few posts to conclude. It's going to be a lot for everyone to read when the all-pause is over. I'm sure you understand.

Remember guys:
All-pause until later notified
(probably later tonight or tomorrow)
Thanks guys.

Ron laughed, "Alright then fine." He removed himself reluctantly from the comfortable position he had been in and pulled his ice cream back in front of him. Two could play that game. "Who's notes are we going to be copying since neither of us went to class."

Announcement

The RP is now OFF all-pause. You may begin posting again as usual [:



Thanks for the cooperation guys!

Audria froze in her tracks upon hearing Draco's comment. With her back still to him, she could feel a sudden rush of blood to the head and felt her fists clench in rage. He had some nerve. It was just like Draco to turn the tables on her. Then again, she didn't blame him. She had been acting like a complete tool the past two days. Wasn't she the one who was supposed to keep her cool in order to convince him of this nearly impossible task? She took a deep breath and decided to give it another go.

"And what exactly are you referring to, dear?" she inquired sharply, as she spun around facing him. Stepping closer toward him, she sighed and added, "You're the last person to be complaining about my determination, dear. Anyone else in their right mind would've given up on you ages ago." Finally standing right above him, Audria stared straight into his eyes and added, "Is that what you want me to do? Give up? By all means, I'll take what little sanity that's left in me and let you be if that's what you want."

Audria rolled her eyes as he spoke about how they were alike but knew deep down that some of it still rang true. However, she still didn't like the references to their childhoods. Although Audria had a close knit family that she loved, she despised the fact that such ties obliged her to act in the same manner. "That may be true, but you should be smart enough to pick at what you were taught to do and only follow it as you see fit, Draco," she refuted, somehow turning the meaningless conversation into something a little more significant. She raised an eyebrow and mimicked his cheeky grin. So, now he wanted to be playful. Rolling her eyes once again, she let out a low laugh at his request for her to sit and after a few moments of their stare fest, she finally took her seat.

"You know...since you seem to care so much for the bloody thing, I say we go bury the vase right now!" she exclaimed, with an evil sparkle in her eye.

Making note to bring up the topic Draco so obviously chose to ignore later, Audria sighed and returned to staring at the ceiling with her head back on the couch. It was easier this way. Diverting from his twisted smirk would allow her to hit all of the nerves she needed to more effectively.

"Right, so it wasn't ugly. It was outrageously hideous. Is that better?" she added, breaking her gaze from the ceiling and turning to face him. "You know, if you cared about me even a quarter as much as you cared about that darn vase, we really wouldn't be having the issues we are," she included, as an afterthought. She had no idea where she was hoping for the conversation to go with the comment but it needed to be said.

Audria stared at him in disbelief. She let his words sink in before finally finding the courage to speak. She knew she had been taking a chance by putting all of her thoughts and emotions down on paper but she had done so impulsively. At the time, it seemed like the only way to capture his attention and lay everything on the table. However, hearing him refer to it now made her realize it had been a mistake. It was better to have let time take its tole and tackle all of their issues directly as they came.

"The purpose was pretty self explanatory, Draco," she responded coldly, rolling her eyes at his sleep comment. "What didn't you understand?" she snapped at him.

Audria blinked as he calmly went about his explanation again. How many times had they been through this? Audria understood all of it clearly. However, as he mentioned, she just chose to ignore it when it hit home. Although she claimed that she had her ego under control, she knew that it wouldn't be able to stand it. "Here I thought we were talking about it. That's not what irritates me, Draco. It's the fact that you refer to something that I so stupidly wasted my time with in such a manner. So, do both of us a favor and quit the good-guy act," she retorted, now sitting up and staring at him with utter irritation.

Taking a deep breath, she finally fell back on the couch and sighed. "You're right. We've already settled that bit, Draco. Shall we move on for once?" she inquired, almost pleading.

Audria howled hysterically at his mention of the previous night. "Don't even get me started about that, Draco. You were not right in the head last night. Not that you're ever completely sane, but the least you can do is see things from my perspective for once. What would you do if I came to your dorm at 3 in the morning yapping mindlessly about how you want to discuss emotions when we've clearly gone through the past months with subtle references to it?" she mockingly replied, not quite bothering to hold anything back. If pushing her was what she wanted, she'd let it all out. He was practically begging for it. Hurting him in the process would just have to be something to deal with later not that he'd even bother showing it.

"You are such a fool, Draco," she replied coolly, turning away from him yet again. This was getting to be downright ridiculous. "That letter had everything in it. Why you're choosing to discuss such insignificant matters any further is beyond me. Would you like me to read the letter to you again or will I risk seeing you act like a drunk again? Better yet, let's do that. I'll gladly document it so you can view it later," she added cheekily, rolling her eyes.
