He folded his legs so that he was on one knee and watched her munch on jelly slugs for a minute. "CellBell?" Plymouth totally tuned everyone else out. He didn't care if they were around cause he had something IMPORTANT to say. To do.
"I... just wanted to tell you that I'll miss you this summer. And I hope you know that you can owl me every day. Twice a day. All day, if you want. Or you need to. For anything." Plymouth scooted in close to her. He wasn't even sure if she was listening - sometimes she was candy-centered, right? Plymouth got all nervous and antsy and tugged on his hair for a moment. Then, quick as lightning, he reached out to take her face between his palms and he kissed Celadine Toussaint. It was only the second time HE had ever kissed HER. Ever. Plymouth didn't linger, but he kissed her good. A good and proper goodbye kiss.
"Please don't tell me I taste like jellyslug, okay?" Plymouth laughed and scooted away from her. "HEHE!" He was going to totally pretend that that had been private. Plymouth crawled back up into his seat and sat dazed for a minute or two.
Cela turned her attention on Plymouth when he joined her on the floor and smiled sweetly when he called her CellBell. She
did like that. Nicknames in general really. She swallowed the jelly slug and listened to him, willing herself
not to look at Copernicus while Plymouth was saying all this. She was a tiny bit surprised really, since Plym had been pretty happy talking to Kay... oh! And then he kissed her! Usually, it was Cela doing the kissing, the research, whatever you want to call it. Plymouth was usually reserved and all gentleman-y and stuff. Cel totally liked it when he did the kissing though, almost as much a...
"Not jelly slug. Honey." Peppermint toads, candyfloss and honey. She blinked at him when he scooted away all of a sudden and she looked around at the compartment's other occupants. That had been quite... public.

"Ouch!" Poking is uncool. Don't poke the Tobi.
He quickly realised that Cela expected to be introduced. "Oh, kay, well, everyone, these are my friends, Cela, Kayla, Anna, Kettleburn - uh, Copernicus, and Morgan - Mouth, I mean Plymouth."
Oh damn he'd missed Barry, "And you met Barry, he's uh, not great at that whole tact thing, remember? - Yeah Barry I'm going back to help run my parent's Inn."
Cela had been
this close to finding her tongue and greeting Aggie when...

He opened his mouth to answer Cela's question, and then Plymouth did the worst thing ever. He got down on his knees and... well, public displays of affection were bad enough, but in this situation, Cope just felt lightheaded and ill.
"I'm not invited," he gave Winters a look before shoving to his feet. "I believe I will go find the trolley for a bit of a snack. Erm..." Without another word, he rushed for the door and out into the corridor. Air. Where had all the air gone?
Cela's mouth clamped shut and she began chewing on her bottom lip furiously as Copernicus made his excuses, almost stepped on her and fled the compartment.

Suddenly not even the slightest bit interested in candy, Cela mumbled a vague noise of agreement to Kayla and pulled her knees up to her chest, resting her chin on one of them. She looked around suspiciously. Was there a pogrebin in here? No...
She let out a little sigh and screwed her eyes tightly closed. Noooo it was fine everything was fine nothing was wrong! Cela opened her eyes and took a breath, her usual happy grin finding it's way onto her face once more. Better not to think about it too much, right?
Distraction!
Cela stood up and sat down in the seat that Copernicus had just vacated, next to Tobi and gave the tall Gryffindor a huge hug. "I'll owl you a whole bunch. I'm going to miss you though okay? Are you and Aggie doing anything exciting during the summer?" Cela let him go and scooted right up to the window so that Aggie could sit down if she wanted to. Tight fit maybe, but one big happy family. One big happy distracting family.
