In times like these she surprised herself with her strong smelling sense. These sandwiches smelled awfully good and she almost became light-headed. She really was hungry but she didn't want to start before Blue arrived. Nope, she'll wait a little longer. Maybe if she occupied her mind with something else she'd be distracted from her hunger. Umm... Unfortunately she could think of nothing else.

Luckily her torture didn't last long. The blond straightened spotting four cups hovering in the air as Blue trail behind them in deep concentration. That earned a grin out of the snake. And she was worried about the eaglette after the match. Psht. The girl was in a better shape than Cassia.

Not wanting to interrupt or disturb her bestfriend while focusing, Cassia remained silent until the cups were safely on the table. WHY FOUR THOUGH!? The blond glanced at the entrance again checking if someone was joining them. This was a closed meeting!

"Hello my queen," the slytherin beamed. And yes she was using the title from the Halloween party. "I see there's no need for me to ask you whether you're ok." she winked. Not that Cassia wouldn't have known if Blue had been seriously injured.

"You were awesome yesterday. Both playing and commentating," She told her nodding seriously. Cassia!Opinions were being shared. "Are the four for us?" She asked switching subjects with no more than a couple of seconds in between sentences. Babbling much? Again, really hungry. Immediately, the blond slid the other dish across the table and set it before Blue.

"Nofing." She answered wit a full mouth having taken A HUGE bite of her sandwich. Totally not lady-like. There were exceptions for this you know. Like munching right now. Food was really delicious and pumpkin juice! Yummm. She devoured the first bite and gulped then swallowed and spoke again. "What about you? How'd you sleep?" Since it must have been a tiring day yesterday.

Huh. Now, thinking of the Bachelorette Party, Olly was just a liiiitttle disappointed that Mo and Cat weren't in fact getting married. Because that would have definitely been fun. But yeah, they were too young. That would be extremely weird if they got married now. Maybe some time. Hopefully she would be invited to that. Seeing as they were 'friends' now and everything.

She glanced back at West once more before locking eyes with Schuyler again. "He has his priorities straight, clearly." She grinned. But back to the food and the box that had been set down in front of her. Had Cat made something specifically for each one of th- PIZZA! Olly sent the Slytherin girl a grin. Speaking of Cat, though...

"So, I know that you are not getting married-" She gestured at Cat before looking at Elodie next. "-and I know waaaaay too much about your love life." Seeing as they shared a dorm and all. "What about you then?" This was directed at Charlie. Obviously. She'd simply skipped Schuyler for the time being. Taking a bite of her food, Olly continued to look at the other girl expectantly.

Conversation topics like this was why a group of girls got together, yeah?

Blue couldn't help but grin at the whole 'my queen' thing. "It's been - what? How many months since Halloween? You have got to find a new nickname for me." Besides, the whole 'my Alice' thing just sounded weird and got confusing when Blue already a friend with the name. My Cassia was much more fitting for obviously reasons. "Or you could just call me my name?" More grinning. Just so Cassia knew she was teasing. "Yup. Feeling much better, thank you." 'Cos of reasons.

At the compliment, Blue tossed her hair. "I knoooow. ...Kidding. I had fun with Dora." She stared off into Space for a moment. "I'd like to Commentate again. Did you sign up?" The Ravenclaw tilted her head, turning her attention back to her best friend. "I'd say you'd be good at it." Cassia loved talking right? And her ability to switch up a conversation is really just one you needed to have. Plus, Cassia was hilarious. It was a win-win deal for the spectators.

"Four drinks for us." BEAM. "Two for you and two for me." Obviously but just in case. "I figured you'd want Pumpkin Juice for....whatever food you brought us. And we couldn't have a Clue meeting without hot chocolate." She slid the goblet over to the Snakette, wiggling her eyebrows. "I just thought it wouldn't be the same. BUT," *over dramatic sigh* "I can bring yours back down to the kitchens if you don't want it."

After all that hard work slaving to get the drinks.

Let's just pretend she didn't use magic.

When the dish slid across, Blue lifted up the sandwich and pealed back the slice of bread on top just to see if the fillings were to her liking. YUM. Cassia knew her too well. Blue nodded at the girl, to let her know the sandwich was satisfactory and let the bread fall back into place before taking a bite. Yup, just as good as it looked. You had one job, Cassia and you did great!

When she finished chewing, she gave a little snort at Cassia talking with her mouth full. It was just so uncharacteristic. This was coming from the girl who acted so lady-like, you'd swear the Queen of Genovia was her grandmother! "I'm good. Great, even." The team played really well in the match and also other things TOO. "It took me a while to fall asleep but when I did I was out like a lamp. ...I actually do have stuff up, by the way." She paused to widen her smile. "...Developments."

She paused for a moment to calculate how many months, but she unsurprisingly decided not to do so. Effort. She wasn’t good at thinking and eating at the same time. Out of her specialty area. "It does suit you best, though," the snake gushed fluttering her eyelashes. It wouldn't be a Clue conversation if there was no teasing, overdramatics and joking around. "Psht, names." Cassia waved her hand before biting on her sandwich.

Her full mouth broke into a closed-mouth huge smile at the words. Admitting to be awesome was something they both did. It can't be NOT admitted yeah? Confidence it's called. "I would like to see you up there with the mic, again." She stated after swallowing. "Both you and Dora," Talk about perfect commentating couple. "Naah. I have not," she answered causally shrugging one shoulder. "I was going to, you know," she must have mentioned it sometime. "But I wasn't feeling the best around sign-ups time." AKA the beginning of the term. The eaglette would know about that. "Maybe next term? I'd be learning from the best." She said with a grin.

Yay for keeping traditions! The blond beamed at that and reached for her pumpkin juice and sipped dramatically closing her eyes and pausing to savor the taste. "How can I turn down anything presented by you?!" A dramatic gasp right there. To complete the show. Nope, never gets old or boring. Not to these two at least.

She couldn't help not smile at the snort. Blue wouldn't mess a small detail or the chance to react. Though the next bite was more sophisticated. Now that her jaw was working and she had a couple of bites, her stomach wasn't complaining much. "Must be the adrenaline." Cassia knew because she saw her friends, ie Cat, not being able to sleep right away after the match.

Her hand was lifting the sandwich to her open mouth but she stopped letting her hand clutching the sandwich hover awkwardly before she set it on the plate. Ahem. You stop eating upon hearing the work developments accompanied by a smile that was mirrored on Cassia's face right away.
Scooting closer to the brunette, Cassia immediately fell into hearing-posture turning around and straddling the bench to face Blue making the table to her left.

"Clue me in, other half of Clue," She said excitedly with a glint in her eyes

Talk about something else? Charlie could totally do that.

But first things first - she still hadn't opened her box. Doing so, she grinned over at Cat, squeeing a little, "Thank you." Because special Vegetarian pizza with a huge side of Moretti fudge was the most enjoyable thing she'd seen for a loooong time. And tasting a slice of the pizza... definitely the tastiest thing she'd had in a long time. Not that her food, or the house elves food wasn't good, but nothing beat home made, proper Italian pizza

Especially when it was made 'specially for her. "Want some?" she said after swallowing, waving the pizza slice at the older girls.

Charlie started when Olly spoke to her. She was the only person at this table that she was pretty sure didn't like her. And that upset her. But the question made her blush, as she guessed it was in relation to, well, relationships, due to the conjunctions with the other girls. This was totally not a different topic, okay, Olly? "I.. uh... erm," she stammered, suddenly finding her nailbeds very interesting.

"Some of the French guys are cute." Moving on, please?

If what they all liked about the marriage joke was the bachelorette party bit, then... "We'll just have to come up with our own party at some point." Maybe for after-OWLs or summer solstice. Even though that wouldn't be until June. A summer solstice party could be very fun. All the flowers and daisy chains and warm weather and..... Schuyler was getting sidetracked. She glanced bleakly out the tall windows beyond the dais, where a thin layer of snow was collecting on the ground. Summer..

Now that they were moving on, Olly directed a fun question toward Charlie. Or, at least it was fun for the rest of them. Love life stuff. Schuyler was interested. But when the Ravenclaw stumbled out an answer, Schuyler snorted. "That was convincing." And of course the French guys were cute. That was a given. She gave her an expectant look. Go on, Charlie. A REAL answer this time.

Els smiled and leant a little into Catty's side hug, nodding. "No weddings. Unless they're the statues, right Catty?" Inside secret. Hah. Boom. Besties. Take thaaaaaaaaaaat.

She busied herself in food right then (cfbnejrferk PUHSKETTTTTIIIIIIIIIII) and just tagged along with conversation, until Olly mentioned her love life. Ahem. Almost choked right then, Olly! Gosh. Bad dormbud. "You only know too much because you're alllllllways around."

Inconveeeeenient.

Damn. Blue had been hoping Cassia would do math because she hadn't been even half bothered do it herself. So moving on from that point swiftly. "Oh you flatter me so, dearest Cassia." Blue waved a hand and grinned at her friend. Queen. She didn't feel very....queenly or royal but if Cassia said so well then. "Names are vital. It's hardly fair for me to be Queen and you not to have a special pet name. Reserved for me only, of course." No one else got to call Blue 'my Queen' so why wouldn't it work vice versa?

"I'd like to go back up there." Nod nod. The fifth year took a bite of a sandwich and chewed thoughtfully for a moment before swallowing. "Oh yeah. I think you said something about that." Aw yes, September. Cue momentary dark look. "Yeah well, September didn't know what it was loosing out on." Clearly she was still bitter. And the - um - event hadn't even directly involved her. No one messed with Cassia. Or at least, Blue never forgot it if anyone did. Blue nudged her friend, smiling again at her comment. "Definitely."

More teasing then? Blue rolled her eyes but her grin only widened. "I only serve you the finest but you know that."

"Yeah. The adrenaline. That's it." Not really but she agreed any. After a match, she usually went comatose. Well, after making an appearance at the party (if they'd won, of course). Blue tried to keep her expression relatively neutral, reaching for sandwich so she could take a bite and hide her smile. "I wanted to find you but I couldn't see you in the stands." Though she did know that the Snakette was in fact there. She'd heard her cheering from the other side of the pitch.

Blue did notice how Cassia just froze with her sandwich and started to feel excited again. See, Cassia was probably one of few who would drop everything for her after telling her a word that seemed to hold little to no meaning. Blue didn't bother trying to cover her beam anymore. Just so Cassia knew it wasn't bad news she had. When the Slytherin turned to face her, Blue mimicked her movements. Except more awkwardly because she was a little worried she might kick her friend.

"Well you know that thing we were talking about." She gave her friend a look and then decided to abandon all attempts at being subtle. "Nigel kinda asked me out! Except minus the kinda. Like on a date. To Hogsmeade. I double checked so I didn't misunderstand." BEAM.

Flailing time now?

Now the Ravenclaw brought up such a very good point. Nicknames! Cassia always didn't have many of those. Her name was one boring one and she liked it less when she found it early in her life that it resembled a plant's or a tree's or something. That didn't make her feel good at all. Though she didn't technically dislike her name she only wished she had more options for nicknames other than Cass, Cassy and a bunch of others used by her family that she very well appreciated not being published. "We have all our lives to come up with one," She responded seriously.

Cassia could imagine Blue up there cradling the mike and her brain liked that image. She detected the look that flashed across Blue's face at the mention of stuffs and she expected nothing else from her loyal bestfriend. She offered a true smile in return and shrugged. That didn't bother her nor mean anything to her anymore. Change of priorities and all. And she actually got excited about signing up to commentary next year.

"Well ,maybe because It was really crowded," she responded justifying why they weren't able to meet up after the game, or two games. That was another reason. "I kept watching you all the time, though." that was meant in a non-creepy way. Since Cassia pretty much was there to watch her friends, Slytherins, then Blue and Lex. Those were the priorities.

However, all that wasn't important now. The important things were that Blue was perfectly healthy and uninjured and that there were pleasant developments. Eeep.

The snake patiently waited until her bestie adjusted her sitting position. The curiosity was visible on the blonde's face though. But no RUSH! not really.

And they finally were starting! Before even hearing, Cassia found herself beaming back at Blue. Because that's what you do when your friend is beaming and looking happy. A huge toothy smile appeared on the fifth-year's face as she learned the reason. A familiar excited squeak sounded out of her throat as she clapped her hands together.

"when exactly is it?" just so Cassia cleared her schedule. "I'll do your hair and nails!" she informed tapping her finger to her chin, "Did you decide what to wear?" she asked because it was one of the most important questions.

There were other ones, though. "And we have to go through stuffs right before the date," she said growing serious and alarmed now. Mind you, the Slytherin was a paranoid one and her past two years kind of didn't help that in this specific department. She didn't know Nigel that much but he was generally approved so it didn't worry her much. However, anything could be expected from boys. Now Cassia only needed her binoculars…wait she didn't have ones. She needed to get ones before the farte happened! And no that wouldn't be spying. More like guarding Blue. Not that the eaglette needed it but just in case.

Nope. She was NOT getting married. Thank you, Olly.

Cat wagged a finger at Charlie. "Ah, no sharing. I made that special for you." She settled back to devote attention to her own pizza, only to glance back up at Charlie when she mentioned the French boys. "They're alright, I suppose." She wasn't all that impressed, though. She glanced at Schuyler, noting the party idea, and then to Elodie, noting the statues. "Maybe we should have a party with the statues, or like.. the suits of amour. They're so charming."

Olly turned her head to sweeeetly smile at Elodie. "No, your lovely boyfriend is ALWAYS around. I live there." Sort of. And she wasn't always around. She tried to get out of the dorm as often as possible. Especially when Coulson was around. So there, it wasn't her own fault that she knew so much about her friend's love life. It was definitely Elodie's. Yes.

But back to Charlie.

While Olly had to agree with Schuyler on the convincing part, she smirked nonetheless, deciding to go with it for now. "Yeah? So anyone in particular then?" Of the French guys. Innocent look. Also, still talking about Charlie's love life. Not moving on just yet.

"Els and I thought a end-of-term party would be cool too. OWLs, end of term, our birthdays, that kind of thing...we don't really need a good reason." She grinned at her fellow Hufflepuff for a moment before directing her gaze down towards her food again. Yes, good food. She was starting to like Cat. Good person, yes.

[b]"I'm up for that,"[b] Charlie agreed with a grin at Schuyler. Parties were, for the most part, majorly fun, and they could do with majorly fun all of the time. Maybe a Gatsby themed one. She knew Cat and Elodie would be up for that, too. "A party for the sake of a party?" That tied in with not needing a reason, and they could celebrate birthdays and end of term and OWLs being over. And general exams, for her. Sigh. Did they feel weird that she was younger? Charlie didn't, for the most part, until they started talking about stuff like their exams.

She couldn't help but giggle a little at Elodie and Olly. Olly couldn't help living where she did, but Charlie thought Elodie and Coulson were cute. And they needed each other, and all stuff like that.

Maybe Olly needed a boyfriend. Maybe she was jealous.

Special pizza, specially for her? Offering a massive grin to Cat, Charlie finished off her slice, before picking up another. She was not complaining, even if she did think everyone should taste Cat's take on a verrrry nice vegetarian pizza. BUT more pressing matters: aka, the fact that Schuyler wasn't convinced. "No.... I'm... not looking." Glance down at the pizza. Little glance up at Caterina. No more looking for Charlie in the boy department. Sigh. "What about you?" YES, you Olly.

All our lives. Blue snorted. "Yeah. We'll be two old ladies in rocking chairs, having tea and discussing potential nicknames for you." It didn't actually sound like a half-bad idea. "I bagsie being the cute old lady that gives everyone cookies. I'll get Cat to make me a life-supply or something. You can be the old lady that yells at everyone." That seemed completely fair, right? Blue grinned before taking a bite of her sandwich. “You can knit everyone jumpers and secretly love all the kids that you always scream at to get off your lawn. What do you say? Sound like a plan?”

“It was pretty busy. I had to get my arm all fixed up anyway.” So t'was all cool. Besides, they had this little Clue meeting now, right? “PSSHT. No need to tell me. I knew you'd be there. You're too kind to me. You know you really should just watch from one of the towers or with binoculars or something. It's ridiculous having to pay.” The next game the two of them could just chill on the grounds and borrow someone's omnioculars and take turns commentating. The poor man's entertainment, basically. Plus, it'd help them both with their commentating skills.

A win-win, really.

YES. THAT WAS A WONDERFUL REACTION CASSIA. Blue beamed some more at the little squeak of excitement. “I know.” Because clearly that little squeak actually Cassia's way of saying, 'OH YAY WOW GREAT MUCH HAPPINESS YAY.' Heheheh.

“UM.....I don't know. We didn't really get to that part. I mean, it was pretty awkward looking back. But still really cool. But yeah. We didn't decide on a date.” So uh...yeah. “I know about as much as you do. “Of course you will.” Uh... duh? Who else would she go to for her hair to be done? It went unsaid, yeah? Dfrfdlkgjlkrjf clothes. “No. Aw crap. I haven't thought this through at all, have I?” Jeeeeez self. She really should've gone straight to Cassia after he asked. She was so completely unprepared.

Sigh. Thank Merlin for Cassia. What would she do without her?

Stuffs. Stuffs made her nervous. Blue bit her sandwich and chewed slowly, so she could think about what her friend might have meant. And came up with nothing of course. “What kind of stuffs?” She quirked an eyebrow. “And obviously you'll be the first I go to, straight afterwards. Well... maybe give me like five minutes or something okay? But after that,” Blue grinned. Though it was pretty obvious that the other half of Clue got to hear the story ASAP.

Pros of being the best friend and all.

"Of course they're only 'all right' when you're comparing them to Mo," Schuyler answered Cat with an amused smile paired with a nudge. Marcus Branxton was a tall glass of water.

And then Elodie was talking about statues and then Cat was talking about parties with statues.

Parties with statues? And/or suits of armor? Hmmmmmm. Maybe Cat could pull off something fun with that. Schuyler, however, was drawing a blank. Whatever the theme of the party, the Gryffindor wasn't picky. A party was a party and parties were fun. She glanced at Olly when the girl mentioned that the two Hufflepuffs here had been brainstorming about an OWLs/end-of-term/birthday bash. "Voila. There's our party theme." And she gave a grin. All settled. A party for the sake of a party? "Exactly. Only.. we also have a reason, too." Multiple reasons. Including a party for the sake of a party because that was a reason.

Eventually Charlie supplied another answer. Not looking? The fact that the Ravenclaw was averting her eyes and leaving gaps in her sentences suggested that she DID have something to contribute. But she wasn't. And if she wasn't comfortable saying anything more, then so be it. A smile just stayed on Schuyler's lips. "If you say so." The other girl turned the question back towards its asker now, and Schuyler looked to Olly for a moment.

A party with the statues? Elodie shrugged, and finished off her mouthful before commenting back. "We're still going to get that date sorted though, right? BEFORE we graduate...?" Which was a time away, but they needed to have a time frame to work on the thing that had possibly started their friendship. It was practically a year in the making, almost. A whole year of stuff. And in that whole year, enough had gone down for them to reaaaalllly get a move on with their plans. Which needed to involve stair sliding, like discussed back in the DAY.

Back when they were wee infants. Not even classed as 'big kids' in the school. FOURTH YEARS.

The party talk happened whilst she was eating more of her spaghetti, and as she finished her next mouthful off, she inputted. "We have a few lists of things about party stuff in our dorm." You know, because they shared one and might as well have lived in one anothers pockets sometimes. Crowded dorm was crowded with colourings. COLOURINGS. Would Olly be upset if Els outed her right now...? Probably. So she didn't. "Lots of reasons for one though." Which definitely meant that Els was up for it. If someone else did the work <3

Speaking of: "Olly and I got a first year slave." Was 'slave' the word to describe Fern, actually? She was just a shoeless first year, really. Who got them food and books and everything.

Charlie was innnnn a puddle, oosh. Elodie contemplated mentioning a Hufflepuff, but then she said she wasn't looking...so...well, that flipped things incredibly sideways, and she had nothing to comment. Just watching. And eating spaghetti.
