Her attention flicked back to Neptune and nodded. Of course Cela had nice hair too. It was important to make sure your hair looked pretty. Clean was kind of the most important thing.
Cela wrinkled her nose.
"I have four brothers you know. So... four annoying letters." Mostly annoying. There were good parts too. "I don't know why they've all decided to write to me lots. I mean, I got stuff on the train, you know?"
Sigh.
Must be because there technically wasn't anyone left at Hogwarts to make sure she didn't get in trouble.
Unless you counted Garret.
We don't count Garret.
Garret= Trouble.
Celandine looked at Adrienne next and shrugged helplessly in response. If she had to bet on it, she'd say that the whole thing with Professor Truebridge was a way of trying to get the real culprit to show themselves.
A present? Cela idly brushed at the links of the chain her pendant hung from and smiled at Allison. "Yes it was. Ages ago. I made one of my brother's buy it for me when we were at a store one time."
She'd kind of whined about it. Good thing she'd grown out of that.
SPOILER!!: Giggling Evil Neptune <3

Neptune moved back beside Kellen - right beside Kellen - side to side with Kellen. She wrapped her pinky finger in the fabric of his clothing and held on TIGHT.
"I have at least that many myself," Neptune rolled her eyes. They were all... well they weren't ALL owling her and half of them were GIRLS. Sisters. "I'm not owling back." Neptune giggled at her own devilish ways.
Allison's searching eyes gave up, and caught Neptune's stare. Which oddly enough made her wince. The moment the girl looked away she felt very awkward. Looking side to side Allison then saw as Neptune squished herself next to Kellen. And that made her lose the feeling and amused her instead. Wanting not to laugh but being unable to--due to Kellen's expression, Allison choked on her laugh and wheezed instead.
Now wanting to seem more rude than necessary Allison spoke between hard breathings,
"I...You know! It's great...really!...Botts...candy! Awesome!..." (Huge wheeze goes here) "
My grandparents...own, part of the Ferrero...Rocher chocolates..." Which I think are way better than candies. Allison finished the sentence in her head. If anyone read Allison's mind, surely they'd agree. *wind blows* Right?
SPOILER!!: Adrienne

Something told her Neptune Bott wasn't the type to take teasing very well. Her blue eyes flickering around to the rest of the group as she tried to figure out exactly how to answer a question like that, stopping for a bit longer on Phoebus as she had the most bizarre and random thought pop up in her head about one of the reasons she had been wondering if he'd been avoiding her, she finally made a decision and looked back at Neptune, smiling again. "Why thank you. You seem rather lovely yourself, fitting that you own that bracelet," she said, feeling like anyone that knew her really would know how much of that was completely put-on. Not that she didn't like jewelry, although she didn't wear a lot of it on a regular basis, but they'd be able to tell she didn't quite know how to take Miss Bott. But she could feign it quite well.
And then Adrienne was halfway distracted again by Allison next to her, shifting around again. Something told her she'd almost been poked again, but she disregarded that feeling as she glanced over at the girl, who had sat back up and was looking around the room kind of randomly. Not knowing what triggered the action, she glanced in the direction the girl happened to be looking in at that point, before wondering if she should ask if she was okay again. Maybe Neptune had gotten to her or something.
And then Cela sort of responded to her musing about Professor Truebridge with a shrug, and Adrienne's eyes went back to her as she gave her a kind of vague smile. She just hoped someone would figure out who actually had done the murders, so they could stop wondering why Professor Truebridge had gotten fingered. And if it was some sort of ruse, she felt sorry for her former History of Magic professor. He didn't deserve that.
"I only have two brothers," she said kind of randomly, feeling like she needed to keep talking before she felt really awkward in the group. "But Riley's here at Hogwarts, so he'd have no reason to write to me." Not that she thought he ever would, even if they hadn't been twins and therefore rarely not in the same location. At least with school. That might change after this term, but she still didn't think he'd bother to write to her. Christopher might, if he felt the need to, but he wasn't much of a letter-writer.
Finally catching her breath Allison wiped her eyes and gave Adrienne a comfortable smile. She no longer remembered she was Quidditch Captain, so that made Adrienne just a beautiful older student who had been very kind to Allison,
"I have one older brother! He's...23 I believe. I'm pretty sure he won't write. He leaves that to meh mum. And meh mum swore she'd write once a week. Knowing her she'll send me a letter tonight." Which once again reminded her that she needed to send one off herself.
With a frown Allison reached into her robes and pulled out a small piece of paper. And disappearing into her robes she searched for a muggle pen. At the moment a pen and a paper were more convenient to Allison than the parchment and quill waiting by her bedside.
Popping up she gave a grin and began to write with a half-ear still listening to things going around her.
