Re: The Fireplace

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

[We had Bella, but she hasn't been on in ages. And I got death threats for wanting to switch to be her. Too bad I can't just make two accounts, Bella would be loads of fun, haha]

[Narcissa Black]

[D'aww, that's sad! Bella would be a good character for someone to be, but I like you being Pansy! :3 You're good at being her!

But I hope either old Bella becomes active or we get a new one soon; it's weird not being able to refer to her or Andromeda.]

[Guest]

[We had a Bella on the old forum but she didn't ever transfer over to this one for whatever reason. Which sucks, 'cause she was funny. I don't know. We don't have a Regulus Black either.]

"Bella's in my year, we have class together," he said. He liked Bellatrix- bitchy, sarcastic, more than slightly insane, and large breasted; overall, it was a combination Severus liked. "We've probably run across each other in the common room," he said, reopening the bottle and taking a long swig himself. He loved the way it burned as it slid down his throat, and he licked a remaining drop off his lip while looking her over again.

[Narcissa Black]

Narcissa noticed his gaze and smirked to herself. Attention from the opposite sex was always a plus in her book. "Really? I wish I had heard more about you, then. It's a shame, really, that Bella doesn't tell me anything these days. She's too caught up in... Well, I'm not sure, really. As I said, we don't talk." She vaguely wondered how Severus could drink alcohol so easily, but figured it must've taken practice. A bit softer, she asked, "Who does she spend time with? I worry about her sometimes... You know, she's always had a tendency to spend time with the wrong crowd."

[Guest]

"Dunno, never really noticed. I think I've seen her around Rodolphus Lestrange a few times, and Rosier," he remarked. He never did spend much time paying attention to Bellatrix, other than her shapely figure. He leaned against the wall, debating whether to stay and talk to the girl or get out of here like he had planned.

[Narcissa Black]

Narcissa nodded, feeling a little relieved. 'Maybe I'm too concerned with my family,' she thought. She sighed softly and looked at Severus. "Sorry to be talking about Bella so much," she said. "What about you, though? You seem to know an awful lot about my family and such and I hardly know who you are." She leaned against a very convenient wall. "Tell me a bit about yourself."

[Guest]

Severus raised his eyebrows and took another long sip. "And just what do you want to know about me," he said, twirling his wand between his fingers absent mindedly.

[Narcissa Black]

She bit her bottom lip. "Oh, I don't know... Hobbies? Favorite classes? Um... Habits?" she suggested. "Anything, really, I'm not picky."

[Guest]

[Sorry. Major drama at the lake. Was busy.]

Severus smiled at her- it wasn't exactly a common occurrence for people to want to get to know him- most either kept their distance, or made their assumptions themselves. "Clearly, I have a favorite hobby," he said, waving the bottle about and drinking more, feeling a little light headed. "Potions, as for favorite class. Never enough of a challenge, even at NEWT levels."

[Narcissa Black]

[ Don't worry bout it!]

Narcissa raised her eyebrows. "You're good at Potions? Wow, that's something in itself. I'm really bad at all classes, so it seems." She looked at his bottle of alcohol, which seemed to be getting surprisingly low. "You really do hold your alcohol well, huh?" She looked at him warily. "Most people would be staggering about now, right? And yet you seem to be fine... You are fine, right?" Cissy smiled lightly.

[Guest]

He laughed again, thoroughly amused. "Girl, I haven't even finished my first bottle. It takes a hell of a lot more than that to affect me," he said, throwing back some more and stepping away from the wall, heading for the door. "Sorry, girl, I have places to be. See you around," he said, swinging the door open and heading for the grounds.

[too much drama to be in two places at once]

[Narcissa Black]

[I was about to say that I needed to go do homework soon. :3]

"Alright, then," she said with a small smile. Despite the somewhat bumpy start, she didn't seem to mind Severus. She looked over her shoulder at Sleeping Beauty, still passed out on the couch, and smirked to herself. She quickly hopped up the stairs to her dormitory, hoping to get some work done.

[Muffy - Tam - Draco]

[CAN I WAKE UP SAFELY NOW?!]

[Guest]

[OMG CONNOR! Haha yes, everyone is gone. Do you want me to fill you in, 'cause you missed some SERIOUS plot line]

[Muffy - Tam - Draco]

[UH, yes?! Can we start on the whole 'Hermione knows about Snaco' part?!]

Draco stretched his arms behind his head as he woke up on the couch. His back ached like no other, but that was expected from sleeping on an uncomfortable couch. He sat up and fixed his hair. He summoned clothes from his dormitory and changed, sending the rejected clothes he slept in back up to his dorm. He yawned, not realizing how long he had slept in. He was glad the common room was empty, no one there watching him spring back to life. Good.

[Draco Malfoy]

[DID YOU JUST STRIP IN THE COMMON ROOM!??!??!]

[Guest]

[Messaging you everything]

[Muffy - Tam - Draco]

[DID YOU JUST STRIP IN THE COMMON ROOM!??!??!]

[YOU SAY THAT LIKE IT HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE. BECAUSE IT HAS!]

[Draco Malfoy]

[DID YOU JUST STRIP IN THE COMMON ROOM!??!??!]

[YOU SAY THAT LIKE IT HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE. BECAUSE IT HAS!]

[BUT I ALWAYS MISS IT!!!! NOT FAIR!!!]

[Megan Nott]

[I don't even know if there's anyone in here, but I'm coming in anyways. haha]

Nott walked down from the Girl's Dormitory with a book in hand. She had been reading on her bed, but figured sitting in front of a fire would be much more relaxing. She found an armchair pretty close to the fire and sat on it, curling her legs under her. Opening her book, she let the words take her away.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy wandered slowly into the common room, cautious with her walking in case she would feel sick again. It was a terrible feeling. She crossed the room and sat on the couch, stretching out her legs and sinking down into the cushions. The fire was warm on her face and she sighed happily at finally being back in here, a lot later than originally planned, but back nonetheless. She wondered where Draco had gone, since he'd obviously woken since she left this morning, but didn't worry about it much. Leaning back into the couch, she closed her eyes, groaning when she realized she still hadn't gotten her History of Magic paper done like she'd planned to do today.

[Megan Nott]

Nott looked up as another girl came into the Common Room and laid on the couch. As the girl closed her eyes, Nott wondered if she should greet her, but decided not to. She looked tired. Closing her book, Nott stared into the fire, just thinking.

Not too long after, sleepiness overcame her and she headed up to bed.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy finally got up, knowing if she stayed here any longer, she'd fall asleep on the couch and she would much rather be in a bed. She left for the girls dormitories without a word.

[Guest]

Severus storms in, slamming the door behind him and growling menacingly at a fifth year in his chair, who ran away as quickly as the second years did whenever Pansy walked into the room. He flopped down on his chair and wiped his tears away with his sleeve, wishing he knew what to do with himself.

[Pansy Parkinson-Malfoy]

Pansy finally left her dormitory after spending much of the day locked in her room to force herself to get her homework finished. She'd finally managed to do it all, but was feeling quite hungry and restless by now. She needed to get out of her room. She figured she'd go find something to eat and maybe go down to the lake for a bit, but as soon as she got into the common room, she saw Severus crying. Forgetting about being hungry, she crossed the room to sit on the floor by his feet, resting her hand on his knee and looking up at his face. "Sev, what's wrong?"
