What did you not mean? Did you not mean to set a flock of dough carrying birds on us, then? Because that looked pretty intentional to me," she said loudly as she opened her eyes and saw that Ivan was standing over her with his hand extended. Sweetie.
He called her sweetie and it seemed that all of them were perplexed. Sighing she took his hand and hoisted herself up. Not even ATTEMPTING to brush the bits of feather and dough off of her she looked at Ivan and said, "
I k-k-kissed him. It was all my fault and I would have kissed him again. I AM SO SORRY!" Her pretty brown eyes began to brim with tears.
Turning her head to look at Salander she said, "
I am so sorry... Ivan's my boyfriend, Salander. I was going to tell you... I was just so confused. I really... I like you, Sal." Her throat felt like it was going to close up. She blinked several times to keep from crying and looked up as...
Really? A Prefect. And not just any Prefect HER Prefect. The Lion badge boy. Great. She sighed and looked at Patroclus. "
It was my fault, Patroclus. I set the birds on fire..." she said in a small voice. It was true. It was ALL her fault.

"I-I-I-I saw her put her l-l-l-l-lips on y-y-y-y-yours a-a-a-a-nd you looked d-d-d-d-d-dazed," Kurumi mumbled now looking at the ground and shuffling her feet a bit. "I-I-I-I j-ju-just thought that she m-m-m-m-might be sucking....thelifeoutofyouandIgotscared." If Kurumi hadn't been so flustered right now, she would have realized how silly her story sounded. "I-I-I-I thought she-m-m-m-ight be a transfigured pogrebin." Eino would have done something similiar, she was sure. He had just thrown his pet cactus off the top of the Owlery because he was trying to teach it how to fly.
Then, little hot droplets began forming in the corners of Kurumi's violet eyes as the older Gryffindor girl let her have it. It was then that she recognized the girl as the same Gryffindor she had been smiling at during the opening feast. The same girl who had taken one of her cookies, eaten it, and given her the sweetest smile of the night...and Kurumi had attacked her with cookie dough wielding birds because the thought the girl was a crazy rock demon sucking the life out of Salander like a dementor. "I-I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-s-s-sorry," Kurumi said crashing to the ground with her knees tucked under and her hands pressed against the floor in the deepest bow she had ever done. She had really made a mess of the kitchen.
Peeking up, Kurumi saw Patroclus standing over her looking in absolute shock at the chaos. "P-P-P-Please d-d-d-d-d-on't b-b-b-b-blame them," well, the girl had been cheating on her boyfriend, so maybe she deserved some of the blame. After all, had she not been kissing Kurumi's Slytherin Prince and making him look like a sappy puppy, she wouldn't have summoned the birds in the first place. "I-I-I-I-I s-s-ss-sta-started it." And her face was back in the ground.

Feeling like his heart was in his stomach he backed away from her his eyes wide again. "You..." Swallowing he looked at the Slytherin and then back at Lexi he didn't even care anymore that his clothes were dirty as his world right then was completely falling apart. His throat going raw he couldn't hide the pain in his eyes at what she'd said.
Gathering himself together he hardened his expression trying his best not to show how much she'd just hurt him. She liked him.... "Funny I thought you cared more about me than 'like'," he said harshly. Ignoring the Gryffindor prefect that had come in he pulled his eyes from Lexi's so she couldn't see how hurt he was, "I think I need to go," he said swiftly. Yup go that's what he needed to do. And talk to James and...clean himself up. He'll deal with this later. Much later. He turned and brushed past the Prefect not even stopping and out the door. As soon as it closed behind him he took off running to his dormitory a small voice in his head laughing at his stupidity all the way up the stairs.

"Lexi and Kurumi, it seems you both see that you are at fault so that's a good thing, so let's hug it out Lions!" Patroclus joked with a laugh,
"You don't really have to hug." This was not at all waht Patroclus had been expecting when he had decided to come to kitchens.
However the two other boys were silent, and Patroclus went to speak to them, when the Ravenclaw one pushed past him and hurried off.
"Okay..." the fifth year muttered, slightly shocked,
"I am going to guess that it was more than Cookies and Birds that have upset him, so I wont get involved with that. But the rest of us, is everyone cool?"
The elves however didn't look so cool, perhaps he should offer to help clean.
Salander stared at Kurumi as if she sprouted another head. Did she just say???.... Nawwww she couldnt have
"Lexi a... pogrebin?.... sucking the life out of....?" he repeated dumbfounded, shifting his head between the two Gryffindor girls
"But Kurumi, a pogrebin has a head of a giant rock. We had that in a glass case in DADA last term." It was part of the finals, didnt she remember? He spared a look at Lexi, momentarily distracted by what she would look like with a head of a boulder.....
Until Kurumi crashed to the ground bowing and crying.
Oh no. No tears. Salander cant handle a girls' tears.
"No Kurumi uh....." he said wanting to just walk over and comfort the poor girl. But he couldnt even move a inch when Lexi began to speak.
There has got to be something wrong with his ears tonight. First Kurumi said Lexi was a Pogrebin and now Lexi says that Ivan is her boyfriend.
He stared at the blonde, completely immobile. He waited for her-- for all of them-- to crack up laughing and call out that the joke's on him.
But Lexi started to weep. And in his shell shock he could vaguely make out what Ivan was saying before stomping off. But he kept his eyes on Lexi. That beautiful moment they had earlier was now replaced by the ugly reality of this.
He wanted to reach out and wipe her tears away, tell her its gonna be ok.... and at the same time he didnt want to see her at all.
And like a thunderclap someone said something about Lions. And hugging.
He blinked, shifting his eyes towards the Prefect, what was he saying? He was punishing them by hugging carnivorous beasts?
He needed to leave. Stat.
"I'm sorry about the mess." he mumbled half-haphazardly.
"I'll clean it up in the morning." his usual excuse at home, completely forgetting where he was or that elves are scuttling about. Without looking at any of them, he made for the door and walked quickly towards the dungeons.
