Messer was thinking to stay in the common room for a while before he goes to the boys dorm but after considering a few things it'd be best if he goes to the dorm first and tend his now ruined candies because of the train ride. He hoped they're still eatable because he need to wait till the Hogsmeade weekend to stock his candies.

When he entered to the third year dorm he's a bit surprise that nobody was there. Not even Alec. Maybe he was making a quick stop in the bathroom to fix his hair or something. The third year just shrugged it off and went to his bed. "MY PILLOW..!!!" he hugged it tightly. "Did you miss me? I bet you did, didn't you pillow. Poor Pillow. But I'm back don't worry." he said while he hugged the pillow.

So. Much. Food!

Alec groaned a little as he walked towards the third year boy's dorms. His arms were getting a bit heavy under the weight of all the sweets and snacks and food he was carrying for that weird roommate of his. He was such a good roommate! Bringing food for the guy who doesn't like going near house elves.

Messy had better not be weird about this.

The third year kicked open the door to the boy's dorms and walked through. He walked over towards the rug and dumped the food down on there. Luckily, everything was already packed so... nothing could get dirty. This was a brilliant idea from the house elves! Yeah! And to think that Messy didn't like them. Really.

"You would never gu-" Alec blinked over at his roommate and the... erm... intimate snuggling session he was having with his pillow. Why was he roommates with this dude, again?! And... why did Alec not know what to say in a situation like this? He blinked some more before ruffling his hair and letting a smirk spread across his face.

"Erm... I... do you want some privacy...?"

Messer was wondering where did his other roommate go? Surely Alec won't take this long to fix his hair. But if they decided not to show up its their loss and his gain since he'll have this third year dorm by himself.

He was snuggling his pillow when he heard his stomach made a very disturbing noise. He already ate so many foods during the feast and its still growling? His stomach needs to start listening to him. Maybe he could ask Alec to get something from the kitchen when he decided to show his nose.

"My pillow. My comfy pillow." HUGHUGHUG. Because he was a little busy snuggling his pillow, Messer didn't hear someone was entering the third year dorm until the person said something to him.

Privacy?

"Why would I want some privacy?" he raised his eyebrows still not let go the pillow. "Where have you've been?" Messer noticed Alec was putting something on the rug. "What is that? Is that food? " He could hear his stomach made another growling sounds.

Alec didn't really know what to think about all this. His roommate, the guy he had shared a room with for two years, was being all... girly about this. Was this what the summer holidays had done to him? Had he spent too long with his sister and then... that's why he was being all girly? But, having siblings and hanging out with them didn't make you turn into them, right?

Except... he didn't know since he had none.

But Messy... Alec should have realised that he would turn more girly. It was probably from all the pink things he had lying around. Alec didn't really understand this and, therefore, wasn't going to question it. If there was one thing he learnt from the two years he had known Messy, it was that the dude was weird. Definitely. And this was proof!

... Maybe he should record this for Hulkasaurus to see.

"Erm... well, you know... you're treating the pillow as if it's your long lost love. Obviously, you want some alone time with your girlfriend," he said plopping himself down by the rug. He leant back against the frame of his bed and raised an eyebrow at the guy's question. "Mate, I've been getting snacks for us!" You know, like the good roommate that he was. "Yeah! Lots of food! You want to have some?" You know, he could stop being creepy and girly and have some of his favourite snacks.

nate walked in to his dorm to see that two people were already there. The one he didn't know who he was, but the other he knew. (Alec) So Nate found a bed, and started to unpack his shtuff. But before he did so he said "Alright you two best be happy thanks to me. Because the party has just begun now that I'm here." Huh. That sounded less self centered in my head. Nate thought to himself. After almost everything was unpacked he took out his acoustic guitar, and a notebook. Then he started to play a tune while singing

"If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all of my tricks, I hope that you like this
But you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me."

OOC: (Disclaimer) I do not own that song. Mike Posner owns all rights to it.

Whats wrong with his roommate? Its like he never seen someone hugging a pillow before? Messer was pretty sure Alec had done it several times too. "You know, Mate, they said its rude to stare." Because that's exactly what he's doing right now staring at him and his pillow.

Long lost love?

"Yes, Summers, if you must know I haven't met my long lost love whole summer." Snorts. "This pillow is not my girlfriend its much much more." The third year got up from his bed bringing his pillow with him and went to the rug where his roommate was sitting.

Did Alec just say foods? Yes he did say foods. FOOD! GLORIOUS FOODS!

"Thanks, Mate. I don't know what to do without you. So what kind of foods you manage to snag from the kitchen today?" Behind Alec girlish habit, he's a good roommate. "Do you want a hug? Because you seems pretty jealous with my pillow earlier." If he want it he just need to say it. "How's your summer?"

Messer looked up when he heard someone else entered their dorm. Its his other roommate. "Ello! You're Nate, right? I'm Messer." he gave the boy a 'Hello' nod. Party? What party? He didn't know they'll have a party. Blink. Blink. Blink.

BLINK.

Before Alec could listen out for Messer's response, the door opened and someone else walked in. Alec turned his head, flipping his hair perfectly in the process. Yeah... he really needed to stop doing that. And he really needed to get a haircut sometime soon. The thirteen year old reached up and ruffled his hair. Yep, i t was pretty long. Great!

But the person who had entered... had started... singing?! Alec blinked at his other roommate. Erm... there was going to be a party going on?! With Alec and... MESSY?! Alec didn't know what to think about this. And really... that was the weirdest way to enter a room, ever. ... Was Nate weird as well? Was Alec the sanest person out of the third year boys? ... This was weird.

... WAIT! Nate had a guitar?! How... how many people at Hogwarts have guitars?! And how many of them could sing as well?! This... this was confusing. But... at least the song Nate was singing to was nice. Yeah. "Great singing, dude!" GRIN!

Alec BLINKED at Messy. Sure, staring was rude and he knew that but... how could anyone not stare when their roommate was pretending that a pillow was their girlfriend?! Yeah, Alec didn't really understand this. How could someone be so close to a PILLOW?! "Mate, having an intimate snuggling session with your pillow isn't exactly normal," he said.

... Messer was being really really weird. Did he not have enough ice cream over the summer or...? That was probably why he was being extra weird! Not enough ice cream! Yeah, it all made sense now! "And that's why you're cuddling the life out of it?" This guy. Really. "It's you... wife? Tell me, Messy, when did you two get married?" And how come he wasn't invited to the wedding or made Best Man? Yeah... Summers was slightly OFFENDED now.

And look! He was getting up from his bed to eat. And... bringing his pillow. So there was no luck in separating them. "Anytime, dude! And... I wouldn't know what to do without you as well," Yeah, he needed his weird entertainment and someone to tease. As for his next question... Alec's grey-blue eyes wandered over the pile of food and he ruffled his hair. "Erm... there are all kinds of sweets! Like gummy sweets and fizzy sweets and hey, some chocolate frogs as well!" It was probably a good thing that Blue wasn't here to see this.

Wait, WHAT?! "I'm not jealous of you and your... erm... girlfriend," he said, making sure to put quite a bit of emphasis on the last word. As for his summer... Alec didn't really know how to answer that. He did need to tell Messy everything that happened and starting was the summer was the best way to start, really. "Erm... summer was... alright," he said, giving the guy a small smile, "How was your summer?" Alec reached over and tore open the wrapper to a packet of fizzy coke bottles before starting his munching marathon.

Nate grinned at both of them. He was happy to know the other's name now. "Hey Messer. Or as i should say Messy." He said in his Bristish accent extending his hand for Messy to shake. He heard Alec calling him Messy, so Nate would too. "So do you like soccer? because I've heard of a soccer player named Messy." He question Messy. Then he looked back down at his guitar. It was a beautiful acoustic guitar. Well Nate thought it was beautiful at least. It had a light tan coloring with a hint of brown. After that he looked over at his notebook.

Before he could flip the page to a different song Alec spoke. "Thanks. And you should get a hair cut, don't ya' think. it getting kind of long. To long if you ask me. I'm more of a short hair person." He said brushing back his dirty blonde hair. Nate would have to get a haircut himself as well. His hair wasn't even that long yet he still thought he needed one. Next he went back to his notebook, and now he flipped to a different, random, page. Then he started to play a differnt tune while singing

"Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for trying to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out I'm nothing without you"


OOC: (disclaimer this sone belongs to the wonderful Kelly Clarkson)

"I prefer you call me Messer, mate." Yes, he DID know that most of his friend called him Messy but he still prefer Messer thank you very much. "I do like soccer. Err. I have no idea. But even though there's a soccer player name Messy I'm pretty sure we're not related." His father would said something of they have famous soccer player in the Messer family.

"You have a good taste in music, Nate." he told him.

"Says who? There's no rule about that." Yes, he was pretty sure no one ever wrote a rule like that. "I think your pillow is not as comfy as mine so you decided to make that..that..comment." NO, Summers you won't get to get close to my pillow! He hugged his pillow a little bit more tighter (if that even possible) than before.

Cuddling the life out of it? Huh? "I'm trying to be sarcastic, mate. If you didn't noticed." But yeah he did missed his pillow. Wife?! "No its not my wife. Its my night life saver. You know from the horrible sounds you were making during the night." Nod. Nod. Nod. "Beside its not my type." he told Alec but then his eyes went back to his pillow. "Don't be sad pillow. You still my ears and life saver." Messer petted his pillow just like petting a kitten. "And don't worry IF I do get married someday you'll know." Because Alec probably the first person who knows it.

"Good to know." Grins. "And we should probably stop talking about that because we sounded like girls." And that's a bad thing. A VERY bad thing. Gummy sweets, fizzy sweets and some chocolate frogs? Yummy. "Good lad." Messer petted Alec's shoulder then picked up one of the chocolate frog.

He raised his eyebrows at Alec's comment. "Sureeeee you didn't, mate." he said before eating his chocolate frog. Its a good thing that Blue and Alice are not a Hufflepuff or he might be dead by now. Alright? Nothing else? "So, nothing interesting happened during summer then?" His summer? "Hmm..Its good. I got abducted by Alien." he said the 'Alien' part in a whisper. That's a lie of course but Alec didn't need to know that just yet.

Alec grinned at the saner one of his roommates. "Anytime!" He really wished that he could play the guitar or sing! How awesome would that be? He would go around with a guitar and... sing for people who wanted to listen to a song. Yeah... that would be really cool. And he would actually have a talent instead of just being the guy who eats a lot of ice cream and flips his hair.

Speaking of hair, that's what Nate went on to talk about. Alec blinked at the boy with the guitar. This was the first time Nate was telling him all of this! He was used to Messy calling him a girl because of his hair but Nate?! Actually... he wasn't saying it in a mean way, right? And not at all like Messy would say so... grin!

"Erm... yeah, I do," he said, ruffling his hair, "It's just that... what if it goes wrong?" He was pretty fond of his hair, even if he wouldn't admit it. And he didn't like the idea of walking around with a weird haircut. No!

Alec blinked at Messy. No rule? What?! Since when did you need rules to know what to do and what not to do? "Dude, I'm pretty sure it would be in the Bro Code," he said, nodding seriously. He could just see it now: Bro Tip #378 Never snuggle a pillow. Snuggle a bro instead. Yeah... yeah, that had to be it. ... What?! "My pillow is just as snuggly as yours, I bet," he said defensively, crossing his arms across his chest.

Alec shook his head a little and rolled his eyes at Messy's comment. Yeah, he didn't know that the guy was being sarcastic but he wasn't going to telll him that. What if it inflated his head? Alec would definitely stop bringing jim sweets if that happened. "I can't help it if my nose gets... erm... blocked, He probably should not have told the thirteen year old that. "And they're not as bad as your snoring and mumbling!" Yes, Messy, are you pretending to talk to your girlfriend in your sleep? "So... erm... isnpink and frilly your type of cushion then?" SNORT. Also, he was just going to ignore the petting action. Couples needed their privacy, right? Even if said couple meant Messy... and a pillow. "You know, I expect to be Best Man if you get married." Especially after all these sweets he had brought or the guy.

"Yeah... yeah, I mean... we don't want to sound like girls. Were guys!" And, to prove that, he fistbumped Messer. Guy-style. And... Messer patted him on the shoulder. Heh, it was better than nothing.

Did Messy really think that he would be jealous of him and his pillow?! "Really, mate, I'm not," Serious face. Because, really, Alec didn't want a pillow for a girlfriend. That was just weird. And... Messy saw right through his 'alright'. You couldn't hide anything from this guy, could you?"Erm... well, I got to see Dad again," he said, fiddling around with the ends of the rug, "But... erm... Anya got a boyfriend." The last bit came out in a bit of a whisper and he refused to make eye contact with Messy because of how much that little fact hurt him. The 'not-looking-at-Messy' plan didn't last very long as Messy went on to say the weirdest thing he had said all evening. "Abducted by aliens?!" Erm... what?! "Erm... why did the aliens decide to abduct you?" Was Messer's girlfriend really an alien and they were trying to take her back to her home planet?

Nate couldn't help, but give a big grin to Messy- erm Messer- erm whoever he wanted to be called. Nate got a bit confused when he answered Nate's question about him liking soccer. So yes, he did like soccer, but he didn't know who messy was? That's a bit confuzzling. Yes confuzzling is a word now because Nate says it. It's a cross between confused and puzzling........confuzzling. "Thanks. Though this music is kinda old, but it's still good. These song were back in the 2010-2012 range." Nate was hoping he'd eventually be able to call him Messy like Awesome Alec.

Speaking about Alec Nate listened to him speak. "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, that is a good question. I would volunteer to give it for you, but I don't want to injure you. Also they way I would do it would probably be to small for your liking." If Nate was correct, Alec liked a typical haircut. Were as Nate liked a buzz cut, with no bangs. Once Nate dyed his hair, but then he had to keep it long until the dye faded away. Which that took about a year to happen, and tha did not make Nate very happy. He had to go a year without a haircut.

He does like soccer. Playing soccer more likely but he's not really interested watching the match. He prefer watching Quidditch match thank you very much. 2010? Yikes. That's really really old. Its as old as his grand grand grand father perhaps or maybe older. "How did you know that songs? Are you a fan of an old music?" If he was then its made sense.

Bro code?

Its in the Bro Code? Hmm. Alec did have a point there. Maybe its in the Bro Code. "What's the rule said again?" Just to make sure he didn't make it up. "Really? I doubt that." he snorted.

"Your nose got block? I bet your nose was blocked by your pillow because you're snuggling it too close to your face." Smirks. "Mumbling? Are you implying that I speak in my sleep?" And snoring? He never snore. "And the snoring part I believe that was you, mate. You're hearing yourself snoring." Messer never wrong well, maybe one or two times "Don't remind me, mate." He hadn't heard 'pink' all summer and suddenly Alec reminding him of his horrible nickname courtesy of Alice. "Don't worry you will." he told his roommate. "That if I get married." he quickly added. "And I expect to be your Best Man in your wedding too." That's not a question.

"Exactly." This is a boy dorms so no girly talk here.

He didn't need to be shy about it. If Alec was jealous of him he should just say so. He won't tease him. Not that much. "That's good, wasn't it? Seeing your Dad again?" If he was correct Alec and his Dad are pretty close not like him and his father. He's like an Alien to him.

Anya got a BOYFRIEND? o________________O

Okay. That he didn't know. He did heard the rumor but he just thought its just a rumor. Messer knew that Anya does has a lot of guy friends. "He's not you?" He always thought Anya and Alec would end up together. Heck he even referred her as Alec's girlfriend when he first met her. "And how you feel about that?" His eyes still glued on Alec even though he's not looking at him right now.

Messer couldn't resist to laugh at Alec's response. "No. Its not like what you think." he said. "The Alien was actually my father." Because he's like a foreign person to him, like an Alien. "He decided to ship me away during the summer and I dunno why." he picked up another chocolate frog and put it into his mouth.

Alec nodded, smiling at the boy with the guitar. It seemed as if Nate was pretty good when it came to things to do with hair as well. Oh, Messy was so lucky to have Alec and Nate as his roommates! One brought him candy and the other could give tips on hair. Yeah... Messy was very lucky!

"Erm... so... you know how to give haircuts?!" Alec blinked at the boy. Really, how had he not known this before?! Of all the things he knew about Nate, he didn't know this vital piece of information. But really, he didn't really know that much about Nate. It was sad, really. They should definitely hang out more often, then.

... WHAT?! "Injured?!" he said, almost squeaking the word, "So... you can get injured from getting a haircut?!" See? This is exactly why he didn't get haircuts that often! ... Okay, he didn't really know this before but it still counted as a reason! Yeah... the next time someone told him that he should get a haircut, he was going to say this to them. Nod.

Uhoh. Messy was asking him questions about that particular rule in the Bro Code. What he meant to say now?! There weren't even any girls around so he couldn't use that as an excuse. "It basically says that you shouldn't do things that'll make you look girly like snuggling your pillow," Did that sound like a real reason? ... He doubted that his pillow was as snuggly as Messy's? Alec just shook his head. "Really, Messy. I would give it to you to snuggle but you'd make it... flat." You know, with all the snuggling he was doing to his own pillow.

... No. Just no, Messy, no. "Dude, I think that's the reason why your nose 'gets blocked' when you sleep," Because he was pretty sure that Messy was the one who snuggled his pillow too much. And he probably made it all flat afterwards. Poor pillow. "Well... yeah!" Basically. "But I don't understand what you're saying half the time..." He shrugged and pulled out some stringy sweets and started biting on them. Really, they needed to have these discussions more often. ... He was hearing himself snoring?! "Mate, I don't think so! You're the one that's snoring!" Nod. ... Oh? "You don't like that nickname?" If that was the case, then Alec was going to call him Pinky a LOT over the next couple of years. They would be old grandpas and Alec would still greet him with that pink nickname of his. ... Oh! "Thanks mate!" Now, wasn't Messy being sweet? Why couldn't he be like this all the time? "Yeah, of course! Erm... you wouldn't... give a weird speech, would you?"

... Good? "I... yeah, yeah it was!" he said, letting a grin spread across his face, "It was a lot of fun just... catching up and... yeah." He did miss his Dad a lot, even if Hogwarts was great. "What about you? Were you happy to see your sister again?" You know, the one who was allergic to candy.

Messy's question made Alec just stare at the floor, completely at a loss for words. Why? Because he knew that anything he said to answer Messer's question was going to hurt him. And he didn't like that. "No. No, he's not me," he whispered, secretly hoping that he could give any other answer instead, "Erm... his name is Jake. Or... well... Jacob. And yeah. They're dating now." He also didn't know how to answer Messy's next question. Really, how did the guy manage to ask these kind of questions?! "Erm... I... well she's happy..." he mumbled, ruffling his hair, "But I don't like it. Not that she's happy! But that... well... she's with another guy. Sucks, really."

So Messy was not abducted by aliens?! ... Alec blinked at what the boy had to say next. Shipped away... by your own father... that didn't sound too great. For the first time in his life, Alec actually felt sorry for the dude. If they were girls, he would be cuddling the guy to make him feel better. But since they were guys... things had to be awkward instead. "Erm... well..." he started, keeping his eyes on the brown haired boy, "Erm... where did he ship you to?"

While waiting for Alec's answer, Messer was busied himself with eating more foods. He was hungry and nothing better than night snacks especially when your roommate was willingly grabbed some foods from the kitchen for both of them. "Snuggling pillow is not girly." Isn't it? Make it flat? "No, I didn't make it flat. Its still pillowy." he showed his pillow to Alec "See still pilowy." he squeezed it in front of his face.

"I never snuggle my pillow when I was sleeping. I use it as a pillow you know like put it under my head." he told his roommate. Wait. He was seriously accusing him speak in his sleep?! "Ugh. Mate, I don't speak in my sleep." Maybe he was just mumble in his sleep and its definitely different from him speaks in his sleep. He put his right hand on Alec's right shoulder. "Mate, I get it that its hard for you knowing that you're snoring. Don't worry I won't tell anyone. Your secret is save with me." Nods. "Its not like that. The nickname sounds..umm..girly?" Pinky. That's so girly, wasn't it? And he still didn't know where did Alice gets that nickname? As far he could remembered he never wear something pink before. Weird speech? "Naaaah, I won't embarrass you." Much.

Envy. That was the first thing that crossed Messer's mind after hearing Alec going on and on about his time with dad. "Umm..What did you guys do?" He hoped that there wasn't any sign of envy-ness in his voice. "Yeah, I am. Its good to finally see her again."

Talking with Alec about Anya or girls in general was a bit weird. They never talked about this kind of stuffs before. But come to think of it, they never have a serious conversation. Every times they tried to start a nice normal conversation they ended up teasing each other. Maybe its one of the signs that they're growing up. Jake? "Does he go to Hogwarts?" He never heard any Jake before. Maybe he needs to stop asking Alec questions but if he didn't ask anything he won't tell him anything. Alec would probably keep it to himself. "You like her don't you?" That was more like a statement than a question. "And don't give me that bullsnitch that you like her because she is your bestfriend." He wont accept that answer from Alec.

"To my grandparents." He didn't really mind being shipped away by his own father especially if he shipped him to his grandparents house. They always have the greatest foods.

Tired out from a hard Quidditch tryout, Logan came in and flopped down on his bed. He looked around, but he was alone. There were never any other first years up here. Maybe they all hang out in the common room? Eventually he did need to meet some people and make some friends, but for now he was just too tired. Pulling back the covers, he snuggled down and drifted off to sleep, dreaming of brooms, Beater bats, and bludgers.

"Yerp-a-derp-derp. There's this muggle device called a computer, where you can go on something called the internet. On there you can do anything, like go on Youtube, or SS. on Youtube you can search up videos of people singing, dancing, vlogging, blogging, all sorts of stuff!" He said to Edvard, aka Messer, aka Messy. He looked back down at his guitar, and put it back in his case. Then he took a deep breath. Now it was time for him to speak to Alec. So he faced him.

"Yep. You can get injured from a hair cut. If someone makes a bad move with the scissors you can get hurt." He replied back to him. You'd expect people to know these things by now. Well then again this type of stuff is more muggle then it is wizard, or goblin, or half-blood. But still you'd expect them to know that. Because scissors are dealy. nate knows from experience.

Following Messer's lead, Alec grabbed some boiled sweets and opened one. "Open up, Messy!" he said, throwing a yellow sweet towards Messy's mouth. It would be a bit awkward if the sweet didn't land in his mouth. And he, Alec, would get teased a lot for it! ... What? "Dude, who told you that?!" Because whoever told him that snuggling a pillow wasn't girly was obviously mad. And Messy was kind of mad as well. Alec leant back a bit, a confused and bewildered expression on his face. Who squeezed pillows in people's faces? How was that normal behaviour? "It's still got its feathers! But you're... you're... you're flattening the feathers and making it less pillowy by snuggling it too much," he said. Messy had to believe him! He had his serious face on!

"But... you snuggle it before you fall asleep..." Or did Messy snuggle something else? Yeah... he, Alec, would have to keep a closer eye on that roommate of his and make sure that he wasn't seeing things. "I'm... pretty sure you do." Nodnod. And he was going to make a note of what Messy says in his sleep as well. If it was a declaration of his undying love towards his pillow... Alec was going to have a field day! ... What?! "Dude, no secret is safe with you," Simple. "And I don't snore." So no secret to keep, right? Right. ... "Erm... well... you did wear a skirt..." So you know, the nickname suited Messy perfectly! "I... okay, you can make a speech at my wedding in the far future," he said, nodding. He had to make sure that he didn't really do anything embarrassing now.

What did they... do? Since when was Messy so interested in the father-son relationship between him and his father? And why did he sound like that? "Erm... just the usual," he said, shrugging his shoulders, "We played video games and he'd take me to his vet clinic and... erm... we'd just go out sometimes." Yeah, that's basically it. You know, the average things you'd do with your father. "Yeah? Awesome!" he said, trying to sound really, really happy, "Erm... so did she miss you a lot? And did you two... hang out a lot?" He wasn't going to let Messer or anyone else know... but he kind of wished he had a real sibling. One that he could go to for help with some things or one that he could be protective over. He just wanted at least one...

Merlin, this was uncomfortable. But also kind of... nice? Because, well, even though he had only known Messy for two years, it seemed like they had known each other for a longer period of time. So yeah, it was nice that they were taking time out of their teasing session to help each other... in a way. ... "Yeah, he does. He's a Gryffindor as well," At this, the fourteen year old looked away and tried his hardest not to scowl. He didn't like that they were both in the same house and could spend hours cuddling each other. That... wasn't nice, at all. Messy's question made Alec stop and blink at his roommate. First Keefer and now... Messy?! Was he really that obvious about it all? "Erm... I... erm... well, she is my best friend..." he whispered, looking down at his fingers, "But... erm... yeah. Yeah, I... I do. But I can't do anything about it." At this, he looked back up at his roommate and shrugged, a sad smile spreading across his face. "Erm... that's a great word, you know. Bullsnitch." SNORT. ... Except, it actually was a great word.

Alec didn't really know what to think about what Messy had just said. Sure, it was only three words but it seemed... sad. For what seemed like the first time ever, Alec felt sorry for his roommate. Really, really sorry. He didn't know how the guy must feel, being shipped away by his own father like that. Alec's father got a bit overprotective sometimes and sometimes, that got on Alec's nerves but he had never done what Mr Messer had done. "Erm... did you like it over at your grandparents'?" he asked, grabbing a packet of Skittles. He opened the packet and was about to pop one into his mouth when an idea popped into his head, making him blink at the boy sitting opposite him. "You know what, mate? Do you... erm... want to spend the summer over at mine?" he asked, sitting up a bit, "I mean... we have lots of room and lots of food and... and... we can eat pizza and play video games and... you get to meet Dad! It would be awesome!" GRIN!

Alec BLINKED. Really?! Injured from a HAIR CUT?! He didn't want to believe this. It just couldn't be true! But... then it could be. You use scissors whilst cutting hair, right? And scissors were dangerous in the wrong hands. He didn't want to get injured! And... anyways, this was another reason as to why he shouldn't cut his hair.

He was going to protect his precious hair. No one was going to cut it. Ever.

"That's... that's dangerous!" he said, his eyes nearly as round as galleons, "Why... why would someone do that?!" Or... was Nate talking about accidents? Because that wasn't so bad, apart from the whole injury bit. At least the person didn't mean it to happen.

He heard about this computer thingy. His father has one when they still live in Denmark but he never ever touched it. "That sound cool. Does it run by e-elec.." What was that word again? "Electribity?" He did live as a Muggle once but that doesn't mean he had to memorize all of those difficult Muggle device, right?



Huh? What? Open his mouth? Quickly he opened his mouth as Alec throwing sweet towards his mouth but instead landing on his mouth the sweet fall to the floor not so far from him. Messer picked up the sweet and cleaned it up a bit before he put it to his mouth. A little germ won't hurt him. "I feel like a monkey when you do that." he chuckled. "No, I one." People do snuggled their pillow so its not girly. He was? He looked at his pillow and back to Alec. Hmm..The guy has a good point. "I guess so." And wha's with the serous face?

"Err. Yeah I guess so." Wait. "How did you know that? Did you spying on me while I'm sleeping?" That's NOT cool. You're not allowed to spy on your roommate when they're sleeping. He was pretty sure that's on the Bro codes! "I. Do. Not." Alec was probably hallucinating. "HEY! I never EVER told anyone your secret." For example he never told anyone that Alec Summer snore. See he's a good friend. Again with the whole skirt thing "I did not wear a skirt." Where did he get the idea anyway? "You probably hallucinating." Someone need to teach him the different between hallucination and reality. "I guarantee you wouldn't be disappointed with my speech." GRINS.

The usual? He raised his eyebrows at this. "That..umm..sound fun." He couldn't remembered the last time he had father-son time with his father. Probably never. Vet clinic? Did he say vet clinic? "Your father is animals doctor?" Vet clinic is for sick animal, no? "She did." Nods. "Umm. Yeah, we hang out a lot. She practically clinging to my legs."

This talk about girls kinda freak him out. He hopes that he won't get this kind of problem till he's in his fifth maybe sixth year? Yeah. his uncle said that girls are complicated creature and he doesn't want his life become complicated yet. A Gryffindor? So that mean the boy is in the same house as Anya. Hmm..He need to ask Alice more about this since asking Alec was out of the question. SNORTS. Not this best friend excuse again. Ohh. He finally admit that he likes Anya. "Have you talked to Anya about your new found feeling?" he asked his roommate. "It is, isn't it?" Bullsnitch. Grins.

"I did like it there." It always feel more a home to him than his actual home. Okay. Happy thought. Happy thought. He quickly grabbed another chocolate frog and put it to his mouth. It should do the trick. Spend the summer over Alec's place? "That sounds great. But. Erm. Is your Dad okay with that?" After all he doesn't want to be an intruder.

Jory had just finished doing a bit of revision and now he decided to work on the floral arrangement. He cleared the little table next to his bed and then placed the container containing the flowers he had recently picked from the Student Garden on it. Their stems were immersed in water to keep them fresh. Next, he brought out the container he'd be using as a vase and the green Styrofoam he would be using.

The Puff measured the Styrofoam carefully so that it would fit just right into the container; the he used to Severing charm cut it out. He had to make some adjustments around the corners, of course, to give it a comfortable fit. "Finally!'' he said as the foam slid into the container. With his wand above the foam filled container, he cast another spell. "Aguamenti,'' he said and water came out of the tip. He only let the foam get a sprinkle of water- just enough to moisten it. This would allow the flowers to last longer when he stuck them in.

Jory turned his attention to the flowers. "How do I do this?'' he wondered aloud. He had absolutely any idea about stuff like this but he had seen what floral arrangements look like so he got to work. "First, cut off a bit of the stem,'' he said. He had seen this part done by his mom when she placed flowers in vases. He picked up a white rose and once again he used the Severing Charm. "Diffindo!''. He repeated this step until he was done with every flower.

"Start with the center,'' the boy thought. He decided to use the roses in the center. He began to stick them in the foam, forming a circle and making sure that they were all at the same height. "They look alright,'' he muttered as he looked over what was done so far.

Now, onto the next set of flowers. Jory began placing the pink carnations around the roses. The two types of flowers were about the same height. The marigolds which were a bit shorter but their stems had more leaves were to surround the other two to act as fillers.

"Done!'' the badger said. He stood back to admire his handiwork. He thought it looked decent for someone who knew nothing about floral arrangements.

Alec blinked. The sweet, which he thought would go into the target, actually ended up falling to the floor next to Messy. Uh oh. Maybe he should just stick to catching the tiny gold ball instead of throwing the bigger scarlet one. ... What in the name of Superman's super senses was Messy DOING?! He knew that the guy was a bit weird but... picking up a sweet from the floor and eating it? "Twenty second rule?" Because if he wasn't observing that and decided to eat things from the floor, Alec would be seriously concerned. "Erm... well... in a good way?" Messy the Monkey. GRIN. "Are you... actually agreeing with me?" This had to be a first...

... And he did not expect this. Yeah... now he had to sound as normal as possible. "Well... sometimes I come back and you're already sleeping and I just see you... and... your pillow," At this, he nodded down at the cushiony object that the guy was holding. "... and you're just cuddling it." He was not going to mention that he'd usually stop and stare in shock at the sight. "Fine, I'll give you that one but... my hair products?!" he said, waving a hand to his half opened trunk. Everyone knew he used a lot of them now. "I... and you're just mad, yeah?" SNORT. He was not hallucinating! Messy was mad. "I... you sure about that, mate?" He was asking Messy to give the most important speech he'll ever give. The dude can't mess things up.

"Yeah... yeah it is fun!" he said, smiling slightly, "Yeah... yeah, e treats sick animals!" Like a superhero! ... He missed his dad, really. He didn't understand how Messy could survive not having a bond like that with his dad. But then again... Messy grew up with a sibling. You know, someone to annoy and someone to stand up for. Alec had his dad, sure, and his friends but... he kind of wished he had a sibling as well. He wanted someone clinging to his leg and someone to pass his wisdom onto. "That sounds great, you know," he said, smiling at the boy, "Erm... do you think she'll come to Hogwarts as well?"

Never had he felt more awkward n his entire life than he did now. Really. Why was this so awkward?! It was only two guys... talking about girls. But the thing was... it was him and Messy. The two would tease and annoy each other but they would never talk about serious things like this. Yeah... it was probably a good thing that they had all this candy nearby. That was good enough at distracting them. And Alec... he kind of expected Messy to start teasing him immediately about it all. But the guy didn't. And Alec was kind of happy about that. "I... no! No no no!" he said, ruffling his hair at the very thought, "Can you imagine how awkward everything would be?" ... Did this mean that when Messy started liking someone, Alec couldn't tease him about it? That didn't sound good. "Yeah! Awesome word!" GRIN!

"Yeah? That's... that's awesome!" he said, smiling at the boy, "Erm... do they have lots of candy?" Because... Messy always had to go to places that had candy, right? And speaking of candy... Alec watched as the boy grabbed a chocolate frog. That... wasn't good, right? Two, nearly three, years with the guy had taught him that Messy liked his chocolate frogs. Just like Alec liked his ice cream, right? Yeah... Alec wasn't going to ask him anything about that. "Yeah, he'll be fine with it!" After all, Anya was at his place often. And Tag had come over as well. "Erm... we can go to... a candy store!" Messy will like that, right? Maybe they can go to London for the day or... yeah.

That's a good throw, he gave his roommate that. "I have a suggestion for you, mate. Don't play Chaser." Yes, the guy need to stick to his current position, Seeker. He noticed that Alec's eyes was on him when he picked up the candy from the floor. "Yes, twenty second rule." He know about that rule? Then why he looked so surprise? "Yeah. I'll be the MOST handsome one." SNORTS. "I guess." he shrugged. "Don't get used to it, Summers." It won't happen again. Well, not in the near future.

Nooooo..!! He never do something like that when he's sleeping. The guy must be lying, right? His eyes followed Alec's hand to his trunk where he keep all of the hair products. "You can check my trunk if you want but you won't find any pink stuffs." Well, he brought one pink shirt. Just ONE. "If I'm mad what that make you?" Since Alec was speaking to a mad boy that made him mad too, no? "Of course I'm. I can be serious too you know." Contrary to popular belief.

Ohh. He wished his father's job is as cool as Alec's but no he has to work with papers, a LOT of papers. "Yeah, its if you're more into clinging type." He loved his sister dearly but sometime she's getting into his nerve. "I think so. She can't stop asking about it." But when its her time to abroad the train to Hogwarts, he won't be here to protect her. The irony.

It did cross his mind that they might gonna have some talk about girls but he never thought that they'll do it in their third year. Deep in his mind, Messer still think that girls has cooties even though a LOT of people told him that there's no such thing as cooties. "So you're not planning to tell her? At all?" Now he wonder, was Alec knew that this talk was coming so he went to the kitchen and grabbed all of this candies? Was that mean he need to bring a lot of candies as well when he want to talk to him about girls? "Of course its. I said it."

Candy? "Of course there's candy." There's like A LOT of it. His grandparents never disappoint him in that department beside he's their only grandchildren that like candy since his sister is allergic to it. Messer raised his eyebrows as he saw Alec was watching him after he opened another chocolate frog. "Do you want the chocolate frog?" He should said it earlier because he already put it in his mouth unless his roommate want to eat a secondhand chocolate frog. "Cool! I'm write tell my dad about it." But he's pretty sure his dad wouldn't care that much where he spend his summer. CANDY STORE???!! That instantly got his full attention. "There's a candy store near your house?" O______O

Alec snorted. Really, how did his thoughts end up being Messy's words? Or... well... they were more or less similar. That was kind of frightening, actually. "Thanks for the suggestion, mate," Yeah... he was kind of glad he wasn't a Chaser. "Chasing looks hard, anyways." He didn't really know how people did it. And the others positions as well, actually. ... Oh good! Messy knew about that rule! "Kind of good that you're using that rule, then," Good for Messy, that is. The guy didn't know it but he just bagged himself out of a major tease-fest. Alice probably wouldn't like this. "And you'll have all the other lady monkeys running after you?" SNORT. "Why? It won't happen again?"

Oh? Messy was actually giving him permission to look through his trunk? This... was very good news. For Alec this time. Oh, he was going to have a lot of fun finding the pink items in Messy's trunk, even if the boy didn't think he had anything of the sort. And he could place that special pink tutu in there. Messy the ballerina. Nodnod. "Are you sure mate?" He wasn't 'Pinky' for no reason. ... Why was he being clever at a time like this? "Just weird for trying to talk to a mad person," he said, nodding seriously. That... actually didn't sound at all very clever, did it? "And you're not going to... take that opportunity to tease me?" he asked, looking at Messy very seriously. This was going to be the most important speech of his lifetime. Messy had better not ruin it.

Alec smiled a little as Messer talked about his sister. It was nice, really. He could just imagine Messer walking around a house, trying to find candy while a younger, female version of Messer bugged him endlessly about Hogwarts and magic. It was... nice. He wanted to see that for himself, actually. "Sounds like she loves her older brother, Messy," he said, "Awesome! So we'll get to meet her?" GRIN.

Planning on telling her?! WHAT?! Alec blinked at the brown haired guy, opening his mouth to answer but... nothing came out. In all honesty, he didn't really know what he should be doing. "I... erm... no," he said, shrugging his shoulders, "I mean... well, what do you think?" Yeah... he was asking Messer for advice. Okay, this might be a bit weirder and more awkward than normal. Were they... changing? Were they... actually getting along?! Alec blinked. ... Actually, from Messy's next statement, it didn't seem like they had changed at all. At least, Messy hadn't. "And anything you say is brilliant, yeah?" No, but Alec did think that the word 'bullsnitch' was brilliant.

Alec smiled. "Awesome! Perfect for you!" Because, if there was one thing he knew about his roommate, it was that the guy loved candy more than anything else in the world. Apart from, probably, his sister. And some of his friends? ... Would Alec be included in that? Wait, what?! "Erm... I... I'll just take this one..." he said, reaching over and picking up an unwrapped chocolate frog box. Yeah... Messer was still that weirdo he had met two years ago. "Awesome! Erm... he'll let you come, right?" Because he did think that the guys should spend a day out somewhere. ... A candy store near his house?! "No... no, but how awesome would that be?!" GRIN.

It happened so suddenly, and quietly, but it happened all the same: the students who had been hanging out in the Hufflepuff boys' dorms suddenly found themselves pushed out of their dorms, shoved out of their beds, rolled out of their common room, and generally ejected from their House's private area.

An unseen force repelled all Hufflepuff students from the Common Room and attached areas and locked all entrances and exits to the rooms. The Common Room was officially locked and sealed.
