Uh-oh.

Just as Trina saw Charlie pinch her nose, she knew something was wrong. Making sure her wand was ready, she jogged over to her friend's side. She touched Charlie on the shoulder to make sure her friend knew she was there.
"What's going on?" she asked, looking around at the group of three (ooc: I am all caught up, Trina isn't). She recognized Braedon and gave him a small nod, but didn't recognize the other girl. "Hi, I'm Trina," she said, giving her a small wave.

She winced as a boy's name echoed around the Great Hall. She looked at Charlie questioningly before turning to see what the boy had done. It seemed things were heating up in the Great Hall, and she had completely forgotten about her snack.

Brown crumbs still clinging to his lips, Theodore jumped, nearly choking on what was left of the muffin in his mouth, as Braeden let out a lion's roar that seemed to echo around the great hall. Emma, meanwhile, looked like a girl deciding whether or not she wanted to hit the nearest punching bag or... who knew what went through the mind of a Malfoy. In this sudden surge of fear, the Ravenclaw hadn't even noticed that half of his muffin had dropped from his shaking hand and lay abandoned on the stone floor, crying lonely tears of crumbs.

He had made a boo-boo, evidently.

Everything came rushing back to him as he looked at the brunette girl, a slightly inquisitive look on his face. Had he... screwed up? Evidently. All of this was too much to take in within a span of forty-eight hours. He wanted to hide under his covers in his bed, for the moment.

Hurriedly licking the crumbs from his lips and brushing a few from his shirtfront, he answered the girl with as much bravery as he could muster. She looked like she wanted to rip his head off. If she ripped his scalp off, that was all well: at least his curls would probably grow back in place of the bloody irritating, yet still handsome, Brae hair. "Hi," He squeaked, clearing his throat and attempting to speak up through the fear that coursed through his veins. "Nice to... officially meet you, Charlie."

His gaze swiveled over Braeden, who didn't look murderous but looked... hurt? D': It pained Theo to see his friend like that, and his heart felt like it had dropped into his stomach. What hath Merlin wrought?! "I... I..." That was the last straw. His face crumpling, Theo began in a distraught tone. "I didn't know, I'm sorry, I didn't even know these two," A hand fluttered in the direction of the two girls that were practically strangers to him, "...I said the only thing that I could to get me out of the situation, so I thought of mentioning Emma. That was it." He looked like a wee, pompadoured bunny who was about to well up with tears.

But before she could do anything else, Charlie was telling her something. Emma gave Charlie a happy smile as the girl turned towards her. She pushed a strand of blonde hair behind her ear. Happy that Brae's girlfriend is you? "Thank you," she began and then took Charlie's hand, "I'd love to still be friends. Sounds brilliant." Still beaming, Emma was glad that Charlie had suggested it because she thought Charlie was pretty cool.

And then before she could talk to Theo, a girl called Trina came over. "Hi, I'm Emma," she said, beaming Trina a smile. AND THE BRAEDEN LET OUT A ROAR! Emma stood their, mouth a gape as she watched Brae do so. Whaat? Braeden mad? Impossible. But Emma decided to stay quiet in the whole situation, yet she grabbed Brae's hand just in case he'd fling himself at Theo cause you never knew what would happen.

And then William was addressing her again. GAH! Too many things occurring at one time. Emma flashed him a quick smile and chuckled. Her smile brightened up people's day? "Thanks William. That's too sweet," she added, before turning back to keep an eye on Brae, Charlie, Trina, and Theo.
