OMG HOW ADORABLE! THEY CAN GO TO A PINK PARTY! >.>

"Vell, you vould be adorable if you vore pink," he replied, smirking because he finally got Remus to blush again. Winner. "Me? I vould just...I'd look silly and it vould be embarrassing for everyvon who saw."

**Remus Lupin** October 11th 2010, 2:56 am

OMG YUSSSS. IT'D BE AWESOME.

Remus shook his head and looked away stubbornly. "No, I definitely don't think I would. And no, you would not look silly. I bet you'd look just perfect." Not that you don't already... Hehe.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 11th 2010, 3:03 am

"Perfect, huh? I don't know about that," he said, shaking his head. "I'll leave the pink to somevon who I know can pull it off." If only Fabian had already gone through his fabulous phase. Then he could sort this all out.

**Remus Lupin** October 11th 2010, 3:09 am

"Right...well, I still think you could pull it off well yourself." he stood up, brushing his pants off, and then stretched. "I think I'm going to head back to the dorm now. There's an essay I have to struggle through. Oh how I dislike potions class." he sighed.

Viktor Krum - Inactive October 11th 2010, 3:11 am

Viktor smiles and also stands up. "Oh. Have fun vith that," he smirks, though he's starting to like potions now that he's got a cool potions partner to work with. "I'll see you around then, Rem. It vos nice talking to you," he said with a soft smile before walking off to go explore or something like that.

**Remus Lupin** October 11th 2010, 3:14 am

Remus still thinks he quite likes Viktor's smile. Yep yep. He watches Viktor leave then leaves the tower himself.

**Draco Malfoy** October 17th 2010, 7:35 am

Draco nodded to her, “Yeah a bit” and made sure the blanket was secure under his arm as they headed through the castle to the tower. Slowly they made their way up, dodging into rooms and behind statues as patrols came by. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Draco had had to get very good over the years at hearing when people were coming and learn to hide. It was pretty easy to tell people apart at Hogwarts, Filch had dragging footsteps, McGonagall had heels that clicked and with Snape you could always hear his steady footfalls and is cloak sweeping the ground. When they finally made it up to the tower without getting caught Draco let go of her and spread one of the blankets over the ground, keeping the other for them to put over them. He sat down and tugged on her hand so she would join him. Pulling off his jacket he made a pillow for them and spread the blanket over them. It was far too cold to be doing this but at least it was a change, and at least with the cold he wouldn’t fall asleep. Lying on his side he watched her settle next to him. “Are you okay Pans?” He wasn’t sure what he was asking about, whether it was her physical well being or how she was feeling after the dream. If it was general or about how he had handled her during the dream or about the cold outside. In a way it was about all of them.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** October 17th 2010, 7:55 am

Pansy followed his lead as they made their way through the hallways, ducking into small niches or classrooms, behind statues as they needed to. Finally they reached the seemingly endless spiral staircase to the astronomy tower and she followed him up, pulling her coat closer around her as they stepped out into the night. Summer was definitely gone, and at night the winds around Hogwarts made the outside quite cold. She tucked her hands into her pockets, curling her shoulders a little into herself to keep the wind away as much as she could. Pansy sat down on the blanket beside him, almost protesting as he took his jacket off and balled it up, but she stopped herself and knew it would do no good to tell him to put it back on. Pansy followed his lead and laid down beside him, facing him as he asked her if she was okay. Her hand traced down his arm and she slipped her fingers between his. She didn't answer him at first, but eventually she managed to nod. "Yeah. I'm alright." She didn't need to talk about what may or may not be bothering her. Draco had too much to deal with right now to even worry about her. She slid closer to him, trying to keep both herself and him warm. At least lying down to the side where they were, the wind didn't hit them, but it still wasn't very warm.

**Draco Malfoy** October 17th 2010, 8:08 am

Draco squeezed her fingers as she twined them together. When she whispered back to him he smiled slightly and shifted so that they were snuggled together again, protecting each other as best they could from the cold. As she curled into him, or maybe he curled into her, he wasn’t quite sure, he pulled the blanket up further to cover them some more. Draco had thought that the cold would keep him up but he knew that his bad sleeping habits and the warmth of her next to him were slowly taking their toll. He had spent so many nights awake now, sleeping for a bit then waking up from a nightmare and going to sit in an uncomfortable chair in the common room and working to keep himself awake, to avoid his dreams for a little longer. As he lay there his eyes got heaver and his breathing slowed. Quietly he murmured, “Sweet dreams” then before he knew it he was asleep and for the first time in a while he didn’t dream of anything.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** October 17th 2010, 8:28 am

Pansy wriggled down lower under their blanket, pressing her cheek against his warm chest as they faced each other, their backs keeping the cold away from each other as much as they could. Their hands closest to the ground were still clutched together, and the fingers of her other hand held to his sweater, keeping him close to her. She smiled as he told her sweet dreams and listened to him fall asleep. Though she'd intended to stay awake, to keep an eye on him through the whole night and make sure he was going to be okay, it didn't take long until his steady breathing and the slow radiating warmth from him lulled her to sleep. The night passed slowly, and she woke from time to time, checking on Draco before she let herself fall back to sleep. She half-woke up once from shivering, pulling the blanket up closer around her shoulders. She tugged it up over Draco's as well since he'd taken off his jacket to give them a sort of pillow - one which she wasn't even using since she'd slipped down lower under the blanket with her head at his chest. She pressed closer and closer to him in her sleep as the night went on, moving as near to him as she could, wanting the heat he provided. They would probably regret sleeping outside later, but if it meant Draco could sleep without a nightmare, Pansy didn't mind it in the least.

**Draco Malfoy** October 17th 2010, 7:13 pm

Draco slowly woke up with the sunrise, shivering slightly in the cold and moving closer to the warm shape next to him. Without opening his eyes he slowly began to remember the night before. Pansy. She hadn’t left him, hadn’t crept away while he slept. He never truly thought she would but even so sometimes the things we fear most are the most illogical. As he shifted closer he noticed that she was already half on top of him and there wasn’t much closer to go. With a small smile he moved his hand not holding hers to loop around her waist and moved his cheek to press against her hair. After last night it was nice to wake up peaceful, all alone up here. Well, as alone as he wanted to be. That nightmare had shaken him more than any other and even now, in the morning light he still didn’t want to face himself. Not after all of that. What he had done, regardless of dream state or not, was horrifying and had instilled an even deeper fear of the dark arts within him. Still Draco knew that it was a fear he couldn’t afford to have. His dream was a pre-cursor for all sorts of worse things to come and he was simply going to have to prepare himself for it. Feeling Pansy shift in his arms a little more he cracked his eyes open and whispered, “Morning Pans, sleep well?”

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** October 17th 2010, 7:26 pm

Pansy woke a little as she felt Draco moving, but she kept her eyes closed and tried to go back to sleep. Unfortunately it was far too cold for that to happen and it wasn't physically possible to get any closer to Draco, and so all the warmth she could get from him was already being taken advantage of. The temperature overnight had dropped considerably, and though the sun was coming up now, it had done nothing yet to warm the crisp air. She tried to curl up a little, pull the blanket tighter around them, desperately wanting to find a way to create more warmth. Draco's voice woke her fully though, and she opened her eyes to look up at him, offering a slight smile. "Yeah, I was alright." She lied. He didn't need to know she'd barely been able to stay asleep longer than an hour before she would wake up, either from him moving a little and the paranoia of worrying over him would wake her, or she would shiver herself awake and need to pull the blanket more securely over her and move closer to him. "You?" She tried to keep from shivering as she laid here with him, but it was increasingly difficult no matter what she did, and soon she was shaking again. "Can we go inside soon?" She whispered a little shyly, the idea of sitting in front of the roaring fire in the common room sounding more and more wonderful the longer she laid here.

**Draco Malfoy** October 18th 2010, 2:58 am

Draco wasn’t sure if she was being honest but when she started to shiver he thought that it was probably the cold and it had kept her up for a bit. On second consideration it probably wasn’t the best idea to come out here last night but at the same time it was all that could have helped and it had. As she started to shiver he rubbed her back, warming her a little. “Much better out here.” When she really started to shiver and asked if they could go inside he moved his head and wrapped his jacket around her, “Of course we can go inside.” Sitting up he didn’t really notice the cold and pulled her up with him to put the jacket on her, layering it over everything she was already wearing. “Why are you always cold?” He gave her a small smile and put the blanket around her too. She was still shivering a little but much less now. He dragged her into a hug and rubbed her back a bit, making sure she wasn’t too cold. After standing there for a few moments, when the sun had risen just a little further he pulled away from her, “Let’s go down now.” With her still wrapped in the blanket, they headed down the stairs to the common room. When they got there she sat on the couch and looked at him, silently asking if he was going to join her. With a quick shake of his head he pressed a hand to her shoulder then headed up to his dorm to take another shower and then finish up the work he had left to do.

**Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy** October 18th 2010, 3:33 am

Pansy shrugged but didn't offer any specific reasons why she was always cold, she just was. Maybe it was just her body giving her a good excuse to keep close to him. Though the additional layers of his jacket and the blanket were nice and stopped her major shivering, nothing sounded better than the fire in the common room right now, and she was thrilled when he finally said they should go. She got up after him and followed him quickly through the castle, no doubt trying to get back to the common room unseen because it was only obvious what people would think if they saw the two of them all mussed from sleep sneaking back through the castle from Merlin knows where. Back in the common room, she sat down on the couch and waited to see if he would join her. As suspected, he did not. People would be waking up soon, meaning they wouldn't have the room to just themselves for any time at all. She nodded as he touched her shoulder and left. Pulling the blanket still tighter around her, she sat down in front of the fireplace until she was warmer before she moved to sit in a chair in the corner and read, where the conversation with Scorp about going to Hogsmeade takes place.

Luna walks up to watch the pink sunset. It is pink. She leaves.

Pansy walks up at night to look at the sky. It is black. She leaves.

**Molly Prewett** October 26th 2010, 8:45 am

Molly is here, just thinking about stuff and kinda missing all the people she cares about as she looks out at the grounds. Cue Dem.

**Demelza Robins** October 26th 2010, 8:49 am

Dem walks up the steps to the astronomy tower to come look at the sky because I guess thats what an astronomy tower is for when she sees Molly looking out at the grounds. "Hi Molly! It's been a while since I have seen you. How are you?" She then says to Molly.

**Molly Prewett** October 26th 2010, 8:54 am

Molly is pulled out of her musings by the sound of footsteps approaching, she turns her head to the sound of the newcomer and smiles as she recognises Demelza. "Hi Dem! Wow, it, like, has been a while, hasn't it? I'm doing alright, how about you?"

**Demelza Robins** October 26th 2010, 9:04 am

Demelza responds to Molly. "I'm going pretty good. Great actually. I don't know why though, I just am. I mean, I haven't even done anything. Thats weird. I'm great and happy most of the time for no reason."

**Molly Prewett** October 26th 2010, 9:12 am

"Well that's, like, totally better than being in a bad mood for no real reason, right?" Molly points out, smiling slightly. "So there's not much new with you then, if you haven't really done anything? But at least that means nothing bad has happened so it's totally all good," Molly says, looking on the bright side.

**Demelza Robins** October 26th 2010, 9:18 am

"It's always better to be happy than to be sad." Dem says smiling. "I haven't been up to anything, but what about you? Have you been up to anything?" Dem then asks Molly.

**Molly Prewett** October 26th 2010, 9:24 am

Molly shrugs. "Oh, same old, same old. Hanging out with friends and stuff, baking cookies, you know how it is. Tried to teach my boyfriend how to knit the other day. He's, like, gonna need some practice," she says with a little giggle, remembering how she'd closed her eyes for a minute and Kingsley had managed to get both his hands completely tangled in the wool.
