Fallon watched as Iris turned around quickly. It would have been entertaining, if not for what came next. She jumped a little at Iris's loudness. Fallon had expected her to worry...but not this much. Besides, loudness equaled other people listening in on their conversation, which Fallon really didn't want. "I knew it was late, just didn't know it was almost an hour past curfew." Finn and her must have stood outside for a long time because when they left the observatory, she would've had plenty of time to get to the common room.

"Erm..." Fallon did not know how straightforward she should be with this. Iris knew all about what had happened with Finn last term and probably wouldn't be too happy to find out that Fallon was planning to spend a lot more time with him. Fallon looked back at Iris and saw her face. She knew something. Fallon didn't know how much Iris had figured out, but she had definitely figured something out. "I was in he Observatory." She hoped Iris didn't notice her camera. Otherwise she would know the exact reason she went up there...and probably want to see the pictures.

Annabelle scrunched herself down into her chair, her bright blue eyes focused on the page of her book. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear before turning the page, paying no attention to the others around her.

"Yes, it would" Cass said as she nodded in agreement "Or possibly a potion or something." That way, Fee could simply slip it into Hugo's morning pumpkin juice...hypothetically of course.

"I don't see if you have any other choice aside from that, love." Cass answered with a smile, then she glanced at her and asked "So, are you feeling any better?" Judging from the smiles and the laighs they have shared, she probably was...but she didn't want to take any chances.

With her book bag slung halfheartedly over her shoulder, Sierra made her way back into the Slytherin common room. It had been a hard day, but not because the classes had been hard. No, she'd actually managed to move her way through those quite nicely despite how terrible she felt. She'd started feeling sick earlier today, and then that feeling had only gotten worse when the headache had started. It hadn't eased up yet, and so she found herself plopping down on a nearby couch, not quite up to making the walk down to her dormitory.

Just before she dropped her book bag to the floor, she happened to glance over and see that...what was his name again? Colin? No, ...Connor. Right, Connor. He didn't look like he was doing much better than she was. "I know the feeling," she mumbled, finally dropping her book bag to the floor and then resting her head on the back of the couch.

Glancing over at the girl he'd met in the ship and had seen her in classes. He wasn't sure if he remembered her name. He thought it was something that sounded like Sarah, but that wasn't it. It was something else. Ah-ha he thought he had it. "I feel awful Sierra." He mumbled. Perhaps he was coming down with something. maybe it wasn't just that he hadn't spent time with Kurumi lately. He missed her terribly but he had promised to give her space and that was exactly what he was doing.

He sighed and went over to the couch next to her. He laid his warm head against the pillow after slipping his flask back into his pocket. He mumbled. "I've felt terrible all day and it hasn't helped that certain people, friends of the girl I like have been really judgmental about me lately because of what I am." He sighed and put his arms across his stomach.

Freya entered the Slytherin common room after taking a very long walk around the grounds and the fresh air definitely helping her mood. She looked around the common room hoping to see her friends and there they're sitting in one of the couch.

The blonde slowly made her way towards her two bestie. "Hey girls. Mind if I join you." she said with a big smile.They looked like having a serious conversation before she come in. She hoped that she didn't disturb them.

Cass looked up when she heard another person approach them and found that it was Freya!

"Darling, of course!" She answered with a smile as she placed the pillow beside her on her lap to make room for the blonde "We rarely see you! Where have you been?"

Garrett looked directly at her when her stomach gave a noticable growl and he realized he was a bit hungry as well. He stood up "Come on we might be able to grab a snack before the kitchens close if we hurry." He said as he started towards the common room door.

Iris looked at Fallon. She was avoiding the question. That didn't answer why she was so late... It was just rewording what she'd already stated. The Head Girl stared at her compass.

The observatory? Iris eyed Fallon. Yeah. She DEFINITELY wasn't alone up there. The blonde hadn't noticed the camera, but she was fully aware of the younger Slytherins listening in to their conversation. "Who with?" Slouching in her seat, Iris fiddled with the compass. "'Cause it's pretty obvious that you weren't alone up there." Iris' eyes moved away from the metal contraption and over to Fallon. Then she smirked. After what went on with Finlay last year, ANY guy would be better than him.

"Of course... unless you don't want to say who here. Snakes like to gossip and all..." And Iris didn't want that. There's already too many people probably listening to their conversation and Iris really didn't want her best friend becoming one of the most whispered about student in the school. Iris had seen that Aparecium paper around the school...

She scrambled after him as they headed toward the door. "Where are the kitchens?" She wished she had heard about that earlier. Knowing where she could snag a late dinner would have been good information to know, she nodded to herself.

Garrett pushed the common room door open and held it for her even though he seemed to come across as a bit arrogant mostofthetime he still had manners. " Upstairs." He answered with a slight smirk

Fallon wondered what Iris was thinking as she stared at her compass. She noticed the younger people that were around them, trying to hear what was going on. Fallon really didn't want eavesdroppers around. Iris was probably going to freak out enough as it was. "Um..." Yes. That was definitely the best response when Iris was going to get it out of her anyways. Oh well. It was what came out of Fallon's mouth. "...is it really that obvious?" Avoiding the question with more questions was probably a worse tactic.

That was probably a better suggestion. She really wasn't one for attention from everyone. It didn't really make Fallon feel comfortable at all. "Actually, I would rather talk about it somewhere else. For that exact reason too..." She knew that Finn had some problems with Snakes and she didn't want any of them to say anything to her.

Ahhh, so Connor didn't feel well either. Yes, Sierra definitely knew the feeling. She'd practically felt like crawling back to the common room after that class on the old ship. She thought maybe it was just the ship--maybe something on it, or even one of the plants. She hadn't felt any better, though, since stepping off it and coming back to the dungeons.

"I've been sick for the past hour," she told him, even though anyone who looked at her could probably tell she wasn't her usual self. She had no energy and, although she'd do anything to be in her bed right now, just didn't feel like walking much further.

Oh, ...wait. This boy was lovesick!? Ewww. Sierra was twelve and although she'd had at least one good crush, she hadn't really caught onto to the whole boyfriend thing yet. How one person could make another person feel sick without transferring any germs was beyond her. "You're lovesick?" she questioned, making a slight face. "...and, what are you?"

He made it sound like he was a Nundu or something.

Iris laughed. "You're my best friend, Fallon. Of course it's that obvious." And it's also very obvious how much you're trying to avoid the question, Fallon...

The Head Girl nodded. At least they were on the same wave length with that little detail, then. "Oh, well... where? The Dorms are no good. They're full of the younger girls. We're best off somewhere outside of the common room." Iris didn't care that it was an hour and fifteen minutes after curfew. See this shiny badge? Yeah... it meant the professors trusted her. "How about the Kitchen's? No one ever goes in there at this time of night." And Iris was hungry.

Fallon wished Iris really couldn't tell that much. It would make avoiding the question that much easier. Oh well. Fallon wasn't going to get away with not saying anything. Iris would be persistent on that matter and Fallon knew it.

Fallon nodded. "Yeah...that would probably be safest." They would be able to go down to the kitchens without getting caught. And no one would check there anyways. Besides, Fallon could eat something and lengthen the amount of time it took to tell Iris what was going on. Yep. The kitchens was perfect. "Shall we head to the kitchens then?"

To the kitchens it was, then! Tucking her compass back into her pocket, Iris nodded and stood up. "Mhmm. Let's go." Making her way over to the Common Room door, Iris whistled to herself while pushing any ideas of who Fallon might've been ''hanging out'' with to the back of her mind... for now.

"No I'm not lovesick." He sighed. He put his hand back to his feverish pounding head. "I took a swim in the lake yesterday trying to do that DADA stuff and I caught a bad cold i think." he sighed. "What I meant was....that the not feeling good part is made worse by the way I'm treated becaue I'm half Veela." he whispered.

maisie walked in and tripped over her own two feet. wooww she thought, i mustve gotten more *clumsy*.. but what she meant was *stupid* ..... "i need smart people.." she said to herself. she took a look around, she climbed up on the table and shouted, "HEY! ANYBODY HERE SMART?! OR AT LEAST SMARTER THEN ME?!" she asked, she was pretty sure EVERYONE here was smarter than her.. which was a good thing! it meant she could get stuff done faster than she expected. she needed someone smart! i mean, it was a LIFE OR DEATH situation. she didnt even know what the homework was! one reason, she didnt pay attention, and the second was she had taken to skipping classes. but she was quitting.. after next lesson.. and no! she wasnt addicted! hehe..

Connor raised his head, what was the girl on about. "OY MAISIE" He ?called back to the girl! "Think you could be a little quieter? What you on about?" He called back to her. He glared at her. "Get down and stop yellin and I'll 'elp ya."

"Thank you." Freya gave her bestie a big smile and she sat next to Cass. "I've been no where actually." she chuckled. "I'm sorry that I'm kinda MIA this term." the blonde gave her an apologetic smile. "What did I miss?" she asked.

Alex walked into the commonroom throwing his jacket aside he fell onto the nearest sofa.
the Common room was just as its always way. dark, bold, and quite...that was until the first year student start making there way in.
"Great here we go again" he thoguht to himself and he grab a paper from the table and began to read.

Oh, ...good. Sierra wasn't sure how to even speak to a lovesick person. She'd only had one crush before, and that had long since ended. Loving someone so much that you'd become sick over them confused her greatly, and so even in her own sickness, she found it in her to be glad Connor wasn't lovesick.

...especially over Kurumi Hollingberry.

"Oh, so, why don't you go see the Healer then?" she questioned. "I'm sure she has a Pepperup Potion to give you." Having steam blow out your ears wasn't necessarily the greatest feeling in the world, but it was really over and done with in seconds, and you felt much better afterward.

"Oh," she finally answered, nodding her head once in reply to the half Veela comment. Sierra didn't know much about Veelas, but she'd always thought they were all females, and that half Veelas were only female, too. Hmm, guess you learn something new everyday. "So, ...how are they treating you?"

...and better yet, why are you allowing the Gryffindors to treat you that way?

"It's just easier to let it run it's course, the last time I saw a healer when I was at drumstrang I went for a broken arm and wound up in there for a week cause they couldn't get the potions right for me. I kept having reactions...." He wrinkled his nose. "Besides I hate pepperup potion."

Connor adjusted hos position where he was lying on the couch, his head next to her leg, he reached in his pocket and pulled out a red ribbon and began idly twirling it in his fingers. "You know the gryffindors, they freak out over the littlest things I mean no one in slytherin would freak out if I liked you just because you're a little younger than me." He shrugged. "I don't know what it is but whenever I talk to one of them about who I like they're....well it's like it has to be all about her, but what about me? they don't care." He said a little bitterly.

Stupid accents. "I don't understand you. But I heard I'll help you!" she said excitedly. "okay, I need to know the homework, the answers, aaaaaand how to do it." she said pulling out a brand new quill..actually, all her quills had never been used, she didn't tend to do homework often.

Mhhh..potion sounded good.Maybe Fee should get some polyjuice potion just in case she missed her boyfriend and wanted to sneak in.he seemed to hide somehwere these days."Yeeeesss",the girl giggled,"gosh if someome hears us talking.But hey we come up with the coolest ideas."After all tehy were the Slytherin Queens,everyone should admire them.Heheh.

"I dont need another choice",the blonde smiled.Hugo was the right one for her so why would she need other choices?It was sweet how worried Cassie was about Fee.That just showed how much she cared for her.Aww."Yees i am fine",the girl nodded,"thanks for everything hun."Cass seriously was the bst friend someone could have.

Fee heard a voice talking to them and a wide smile spread on her face immediately.It was Freya.They hadnt had some Slytherin Queen time in such a long time."Freyaaaa",the girl squealed and got up to hug her other bestie,"where have you been all the time?"Of course the toher blonde was always welcome.The three besties would never let anything or anyone get in between.

Fee walkd into the common room searching for a free couch or armchair to sit but it seemed to be quite busy in here.How wonderful,No place to sit?Come on that couldnt be.Letting her eyes wander aroudn the room the Slytherin noticed a boy sitting there all alone not looking to happy,with the paper in his hand.The blonde decided to go ask if she could sit next to him,seeing it was the only free seat.And in addition they could talk a little.Maybe she would make a new friend?!"hey you",the third year said friendly and waved as she approached,"do you mind if i sit here?"
