Elliot's birthday USED to be a huge deal, but not since her brother had been born.

She sighed..."He's a fourth year, our year. He's...nice." Very nice. Something Elliot lacked. Why did the nice guys usually attract her, anyways? It was strange. The blonde tucked her hair behind her ears, and blushed just a biiiit. "OF course..we're...dating..." right. Duh, Cora? She raised her eyebrow at her friend...HELLO!! Hehehe.

And speaking of crushes..."So...dearest Cora, tell me," she had a smirk full of trouble on her face..."What is it with that Ethan guy?" she asked, trying to seem..casual. Elliot had a plan in mind...

hehehehe.
Cora was automatically excited about whatever she would do with Elliot for her birthday. Her eyes lit up. Cora was *SO* good at hiding her emotions sometimes. While she didn't mind the quiet birthdays she usually had, she was thrilled at the idea of doing something exciting. "I would love that," Cora replied. She tried not to act too enthusiastically, just a simple smile. It was silly for someone so bad at hiding feelings to be so quick to keep to herself. But that was Cora.

Cora blinked, slightly embarrassed she hadn't quite made the assumption that they were ACTUALLY dating. Better not to assume, right? Still, she was SO excited for Elliot. "Oh, that's great! I have GOT to meet him sometime." Cora wanted to see exactly what this boy looked like, and wanted to get to know him. Partly so that she would know who Elliot was talking about whenever she mentioned him. But part of the reason surprised Cora. She wanted to make sure he was, well, good for Elliot. She felt oddly protective, and while she knew Elliot would absolutely be able to make her own judgements, she did NOT want to see Elliot hurt at all. Ever.

That's what friends were for, right? "Guess I'll have to stalk the Gryffindor table during meals," Cora added with a smile. She obviously would be too nervous to go up to anyone there, but it would be fun to tease Elliot.

Cora's smile faded a bit with Elliot's quick change of topics. And of course, Cora turned bright red. Why do I have to be so pale? Cora thought. She was aware of the pinkish red she turned when her cheeks got hot. "Oh, Ethan," Cora's voice a bit higher in pitch than she was comfortable with, "Oh it's nothing." Ugh. Lying to Elliot again. Maybe more than nothing, she was dying to say. "Alright, we met in Herbology and he is the sweetest guy I've met." AND he doesn't completely ignore me. "But there's nothing going on." Surely Ethan would not actually like Cora, he was just being nice. Cora liked having him as a friend. Yep, that's what he was. Still, the idea of both Elliot and Cora having boyfriends made Cora's heart pound. Somehow the look on Elliot's face concerned Cora. What is she thinking?
