I wish I was a hero... autoplay

  “THERE WAS THE BREAKFAST GROUP, too.  I was a bit younger with ‘em, though.  I rem’mber there was an Omelette, for sure.  Or maybe they were jus’ EGG themed in general.”  Voice seemed wistful, recalling along the memories of the fluffy creatures about that pond.  Not that they e v e r responded to the names she gave them.  “Themes make the naming easier.”

              WEAK SMILE, if only briefly.  Shoulders shrugged while she eventually glanced away, as if embarrassed for some reason.  Cat wasn’t, but she still wasn’t good at maintaining EYE CONTACT with people for long periods of time.  “Wha’ can I say?  M’positively negative.”

    Which was true enough.

                “No Beans.  There’s King Taco, Enchilada, Burrito, Guacamole, Salsa, an’ Nacho.  They were all my f a v o r i t e ducklings.”

           “SOMEONE ELSE, apparently.”  Eyelashes batted, as if playing innocent about the whole situation.  However, she could only keep up a teasing nature for so long.  Her kind heart EVENTUALLY started to feel bad – worried the other would take it more personally than they might let on.  Perhaps it was a silly thing to be concerned over, but she was.

                   Gathering herself, she s h r u g g e d her shoulders.  The staple thing had no real answer, of course, so there was no sense to argue about it.  Instead, more giggling.  It was a good thing he enjoyed it, because it was about eighty percent of all the noises she made, it seemed.

RYAN’S pout only grew larger, but he didn’t respond except to grin a moment later at her laugh. It made his heart flutter and his spirits soar. Laila was amazing. 

She nodded in agreement. It was not just the Ravenclaws, she knew, but they tended to think they were better than anyone else. Arrogant - that was what they were. Sophiya rolled her eyes slightly at his last comment before grinning. “Speak for yourself - we’re not all that stupid.” She shook her head dismissively. She was definitely not stupid.

Leaning over to see the spell, Sophiya let out a small laughter. “It’s silly, indeed. Harmless too.” She smiled and leaned back eyes carefully watching as he tried to hex her. As he pointed at her she could not help but reach out to grip tight around her own wand. Not that she wanted to deflect or hex him in return, but it was difficult to just let him hex her without protecting herself.

For a second nothing happened. Then. It was not exactly a hiccup, but more like a burp that escaped her. A large bubble emerging from her mouth, before it popped as she started laughing. “Close enough. I think you have to flick it a bit more - like this.” She waved her own wand in her hand careful not to accidentally hex him. Hopefully he would know how to remove the hex when he succeeded hexing her.

RYAN watched carefully and copied her movements  until he had it correct. Quickly, he performed the countercharm on her so he could cast the spell correctly with adverse effect.

the last three months sucked 

               Benji waved his suggestion away and smirked. “Ah, who cares? Control is overrated, anyways. Life is more fun when it’s spontaneous, don’t you think?” He pushed a hand through his long hair, rings gleaming. “What about you, huh? Are you human, or–?”

He was right. Gossip spread quickly around the castle. Even if she was not much into that sort of thing, she would know what would have had happened sooner or later. The school would soon be buzzing. A frown appeared on her forehead as she listened. Good thing her wand was on the table or she might had set fire to something by mistake. As he finished his tale all she could do was to shake her head. Even if the thought of a bunch of Hufflepuffs beating up some Ravenclaws was amusing, she did not laugh. This was serious matter. 

“For being the wisest House they sometimes act like the dumbest.” She commented, eyes scanning the place to see if anyone was listening on their conversation and had heard her words. Despite her statement she did not want to pick a fight with anyone - at least not right now. Looking down at the section he was pointing at she quickly scanned the page. “We had the class two days ago - not as eventful as yours though.” She grinned at him and raised an eyebrow. “Easier to learn if you practice it though - follow the steps. Could have been useful earlier when you fought the Ravenclaws, so unless someone managed to hide from you, I guess I’ll have to volunteer as your lab rat.” It was a simple offer, which she was not sure whether he would take or leave.

“EGO CAN DO A LOT to people,” he said softly, shrugging. “Being called the smartest all the time can go to anyone’s head, even someone who’s supposed to be wise. Also, teenagers. We’re all dumb.” He grinned slightly and listened to her explanation attentively.

HUMMING SOFTLY, he peered at the wand movement, practicing the incantation. “If you’re sure. It’s a rather silly jinx, though, isn’t it? Making someone hiccup bubbles? But I guess it’s a good distraction, especially for duels,” he commented. Taking a deep breath, he twirled his wand and spelled Anna.

Kveta tilted her head to the side as this mam dismissed her offer for a blowjob. Though it began to make a bit of sense when he told her he had a boyfriend. Retracting her hand, she crossed her arms over her chest. “Pity yewr boyfrien’ ain’ ‘ere ta 'elp yew ou’.” She wasn’t exactly sure how she should respond. She wasn’t used to people just helping her.

“I ain’ go’ money ta give yew…” Golden hues didn’t meet his gaze, though. Instead she was eyeing the basket with a watering mouth. Fresh sweet bread and meat whatevers… It wasn’t often that she ate fresh, hot, food. Now it was within arms reach and it was quite hard for her to resist simply reaching out to snatch the basket from his arm and scrambling back up to the safety of the rafters.

She was wary of simply accepting food. She had been hurt far too many times to simply accept help. Everyone wanted something. Everyone was playing an angle. She just had to figure out his. With some difficulty Kveta lift her gaze to study his face once more.
