Penelope stood by the door to the girls' bathroom. She wasn't really sure if she wanted to use this bathroom, because of Moaning Myrtle. It was a long way back to the Ravenclaw common room, and she really needed to go, so hoping that she wouldn't end up like Myrtle, Penelope entered the bathroom. After checking to make sure that Myrtle wasn't in there flooding the bathroom or anything, Penelope dashed into a stall.

When Penelope came out of the stall, she washed her hands and inspected her hair in the mirror. Standing in front of the mirror, Penelope braided her hair.

Dora preferred this bathroom because of Moaning Myrtle, having a general like for ghosts and also because it meant this bathroom was less occupied than all the others. Always a bonus.

Not so much of one today, a kid was in here. They were everywhere, weren't they?

She glanced at the younger girl long enough to notice she was in her house before going to a mirror and pulling out her small makeup bag.

An older girl entered the bathroom. She pulled out a makeup bag, glancing at Penelope. The rest of the bathroom was empty. Girls probably didn't come in here much, especially if Moaning Myrtle was around. Still curious as to wether or not the bathroom was safe, Penelope said, "Hi, I'm Penelope, first year Ravenclaw. Is this bathroom safe? We won't end up like Myrtle, will we?"

".... Hey." Dora glanced at the girl through the mirror while pulling things out of her bag. Another talker, she noticed. The prefect wasn't going to give out the whole long introduction since she suspected her badge gave away that she was in the same house and the prefect. And her name passed through enough mouths that the girl would know it soon enough.

Myrtle though. "I can't say. Myrtle didn't know she'd end up as a ghost, and even with these 'aurors' around the school still isn't one hundred percent safe so who's to say we won't die." She pulled out some blush, and opened it up. "You're a Ravenclaw though, so I'm assuming you're smart and won't end up dead." That was usually the Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors.

'Who's to say we won't die' wasn't completely reassuring, but it didn't sound like a lot of people had died recently at Hogwarts. Ravenclaws probably wouldn't be stupid things to get themselves killed, so she should be okay. "Okay, thanks," Penelope said, and continued to braid her hair.

Angel decided that she needed the loo and so she had run off toward he girls toilets and when she had got there she smiled, she had made it, she wondered if there were more like on other floors but she hadn't seen them, she went to the toilet and then she went to wash her hands, she couldn't believe it, her sister was starting to leave her out of things and she was sad, even though they were in the same house, they never went to lessons together or anything like that.

AJ needed to wash her hands. Yup, yup, yup. She had no idea what she had managed to get on them, only that they were practically black and she was in the need of a snack. Normally, she didn't really care too much about hand washing before food time, but her hands were dirty even for her standards.

As she walked into the loo she saw her face reflecting back to her and not from the mirror. "Hey Angel. Fancy seeing you here." Of all places to run into each other. It was weird but it seemed like she hadn't even seen her sister that often this term.

Angel was just finished washing her hands when her sister came into the room, nope she wasn't talking to her reflection, she had been mean and totally ignored her since the incident on the fifth floor and Angel might not have said it was peeves fault but she hadn't said it was AJ fault either and she didn't like the fact her sister wasn't waiting for her but going to lessons on her own, they were in the same house but it seemed they were miles apart and might as well be in different school the way they were going.

Was she really getting the silent treatment? "Not talking to me today?" She had no idea what was going on with her sister, but she was so not about the drama. As far as she knew AJ hadn't done a thing to warrant this treatment.

She walked over to the sink and washed her hands. Once she was done she dried them and turned her attention back to her sister. "Just spit it out Angel." She was hungry and not in the mood to guess what could be wrong with Angel.

"No I'm not." Angel said to her sister and then face palm herself. "Okay so at the minute I am, but I'm cross with you." Angel sighed, why did she have to feeling this way. "Well not just with you but Abby as well, ever since we came to Hogwarts we hardly do anything together." Angel pouted she loved spending time with her sisters and now that seemed to be taken away from her.

"It's like you used to always say goodnight to me before bed, but lately even though we share the same dorm you don't and well even though we are in the same house we never seemed to wait for each other, so we can walk to lessons together." Angel pouted, she couldn't believe she was actually crying over this, she turned away from her sister so she couldn't see the tears falling.

Of course drama happened. Angel was very sensitive and emotional and frankly AJ was just not about that life. She decided to ignore the fact that her sister said that she wasn't speaking to her even though technically she just did. "Why are you being cross with me?" What could she have possibly done this time? The last time she had checked, she had managed to stay out of trouble and that was a feat in itself. "We've been busy Angel. It's nothing against you." Besides the term was still fresh. They haven't even been to all the different subjects yet.

So she didn't say goodnight a couple of times, was that really something to get your knickers in a twist over? AJ didn't think so, but apparently her sister did. "I'm sorry you feel that way Angel. We can always go and do something fun during our off time." Come to think of it AJ hadn't even seen Abby since their lessons. "You're the one who always leaves me before the lessons." It was true. Aubrey was late to Astronomy and had to meow at the professor to avoid getting in trouble. Herbology was almost the same thing.

Angel giggled at her sister. "I not cross." Angel had stopped crying and had gone to the sink and wiped her face. "I was just upset we haven't seen each other much." Angel smiled as she gave her sister a massive hug. "And I'm just a bit cross with myself for calling Benny cutie." Angel was sure he was going to hate her forever for that.

"I know we can and I can't wait to see what you have planned for us." Angel hoped it was going to be something fun, but not something that could get her into trouble, she didn't want to get into trouble. "I'm sorry, how about the next lesson we have we arrive together." Angel thought it would be cool if they could and she really wanted it to happen.

"Good." She was glad that she wasn't going to have to have THAT argument with her sister. "I know, and we will fix that." AJ really wasn't trying to avoid her or anything, it was just that she had so much going on that she wasn't realizing how much time they weren't spending together. "How about we make a fort in the dorm and have snacks and catch up?"

She looked at her sister questionably when she brought up Benjamin. "So what is going on with you two?" She knew that Angel liked him which was kind of weird to her because she had no interest in boys that way. They were cool to hang out with, but that was about it.

Angel beamed at her sister. "THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN EPIC IDEA!!" Angel had chocolates and things in her trunk in the dorm. "I have sweets and things in my trunk." Angel beamed. "I wonder if we can sneak anything from the kitchen." Angel smiled as she thought about the great time they would have together.

"Oh nothing much." Angel blushed. "I just keep tripping up when he's around and things like that, nothing to worry about, I still think most guys are nice but well they do have cooties you know, but Ben doesn't, he's a great boy." Angel could feel her heart skip a beat as she thought about him.

AJ was glad that her sister seemed thrilled with her idea. "We can do that tonight if you'd like." Chocolates sounded good and she really did want to catch up with her sister. "Oooh yeah, let's do that." She hoped Angel knew how to get food from the kitchens because she didn't... not that, that would keep her from doing it though. "Too bad Abby can't join us." They would have to figure something else out for her to be able to come. "Maybe we could do something like this on the grounds so she can come next time."

The first year tried to ignore the blush. "I've noticed," she said a bit teasingly. "Benjamin is cool and I don't think you have anything to worry about." He seemed like a nice guy and he didn't seem the type to make fun of her or anything. "Boys don't have cooties silly girl." Sure, Aubrey didn't want to date one, but she liked having lots of boys for friends. If anything she seemed to get along better with them.

Angel was beaming with excitement now. "That would be amazing." Angel really wanted to do that, she thought it would be cool. "I know but we can have a picnic with Abby on the grounds one day and find out all about Ravenclaw." Angel couldn't wait to find out all about what the Ravenclaw Tower was like.

"He is." Angel beamed. "He's a cutie-pie really don't you think?" Angel really thought he was and she hadn't realised she had used the cutie-pie nickname. "Oh some of them must have." Angel said truthfully, seriously didn't her sister know this.

AK couldn't help but to grin from ear to ear at her sister's excitement. "We'll do it then. Maybe we should go check out the kitchens and see how easy it will be to get some food." They needed to be prepared because a party without food just really wasn't a party was it? "That sounds good. It has been freezing lately though. Maybe we could have a campfire or something." Yeah, she didn't know if the groundskeeper would go for that, but she could always ask. "I can't wait to hear was Ravenclaw is like either."

Errr... she didn't know about the whole cutie-pie thing. "He's okay." It was nothing about him that she didn't like, it was just that she didn't think there were any boys that were "cutie-pies." Then again AJ wasn't the sappy and sensitive type. "If anything I think Adi is pretty cool." He was the coolest guy that she had met so far. They had so much in common.

Angel smiled at her sister. "AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!" Angel beamed, she really wanted to do this now and have a party with Abby. "I think it would be funny if we have a campfire, I'll ask the groundskeeper next time I am out and about." Angel didn't think the groundkeeper would mind, it wasn't like it was anything dangerous. "I agree we should."

"He's more than okay, he's the only boy that is worth your time." Angel said dreamily as she thought about her cutie-pie but was brought back down to earth when Adi was mention. "You do know that he's mean right." Angel didn't know how to tell AJ this. "He was very rude to me at the whomping willow."

"Oh, and we can have a karaoke night like we used to at home." She laughed at the thought of singing loudly in the common room. "That is of course if we don't annoy everybody." Not that she really cared personally it was just that she didn't want anybody complaining on her or her sisters. "Maybe that's something we can do on the grounds." On second thought.

"Do you want to be his girlfriend or something?" Her sister was over there practically drooling down the front of her shirt just thinking about the third year. AJ was taken aback by the next thing that came out of Angel's mouth. "Adi's mean? No way! What happened?" She had no idea how Adi and mean could be used in the same sentence.

Angel smiled at her sister. "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIEND, AND WE'LL KEEP ON FIGHTING TO THE END!!" Angel sang loudly for her sister. "I miss doing that at home." Angel was really happy now. "Yeah maybe it would be best on the grounds somewhere." Angel giggled.

"No...." Angel blushed. "Of course not, I just want him to be a good friend." okay so maybe she did want to be more than good friends but he was older and she wasn't sure he would want to go out with her even if she asked. "He shouted at me and was plain mean for no reason what so ever." Angel pouted.

AJ laughed as Angel started to sing. "That reminds me of baseball. I miss playing so much." They could probably do that here too. Of course there was so much else that was keeping her busy lately that she wasn't sure if she would ever get around to that anyway. "We will just have to catch Abby at dinner or something and get her to go." They could have their party in their dorms tonight.

The blush did not got unnoticed. "Are you sure about that? She play poked her sister on her shoulder. "I don't think age matters so much. Plus, you are awesome... don't sell yourself short." She wouldn't go as far as to advise her to ask him out or anything, but she needs to know her worth.

Angel giggled at AJ. "I know I like baseball and I miss it." She didn't like it as much as her sister, she was more into garden and things but at the minute things were awesome at the school. "I think we will have to do that, I'll nudge you if you forget sis." Angel beamed.

Angel looked at her sister. "I'm.... I'm." Angel couldn't say it. "Okay so he would be a hunk to have as a boyfriend but well I'm sure he's got plenty of girls already asking him out, you know older girls. "Awe thanks sis, your amazing too." Angel hugged her sister some more.

"There's a lot of things that I miss, but Hogwarts is cool. It's a whole new adventure." AJ was learning so much new cool stuff that it was definitely evening out the stuff that she was missing back home. "Thanks sis." She didn't think that she would need that nudge, but you never knew.

"Now you're talking." Aubrey could see right through that front that Angel was trying to put up. "Want me to talk to him for you?" She could totally play matchmaker you know. "Whatever you want me to do." Or she didn't have to talk to him at all. That would totally be Angel's call.

The whole Benjamin thing was completely making her forget about the conversation they were having about Adi. "What are you going on about Adi for? Spill it Angel." Nobody was going to mess with her sister and get away with it. Adi treating her sister badly was a hard pill to swallow.

Angel smiled at her sister. "Okay, so I like him, I really do." Angel beamed. "Hey I wonder if that would work or if he would think you were me or something weird." Angel giggled. "I think it would be cool if you would and told him how cool and nice I am." Angel hugged her sister.

"He snapped at me and told me I wasn't a brave Gryffindor, I think he was implying I wasn't worthy of the Gryffindor House, it wasn't nice, plus he glared at me, I thought he was going to jinx me." Angel sighed as she looked at AJ, she wasn't sure if she should tell her this, it might upset her sister after all Adi was good friends with AJ.
