[Great Hall] Continuous Surprises

[bellatrixblack]

Bella had pretty much given up on Truth or Dare. She gazed up at Scott. This was much more fun. Ah, it had been such an eventful breakfast! She had lost a friend and gained her back, made a foe of her friend's cousin, kissed someone she didn't like, just to get attention from someone she really did, had pumpkin juice spilled on her, cried her eyes out, and ended up happier than she'd ever been. She hoped it would continue on!

Narcissa took a sip of her water. She leaned closer to Will so her head was on his shoulder. With her hand still in his, she turned so he could hear her. "So, I heard from Diana that there was a dance coming up. Really, I'm not supposed to be the one to ask, but I'm not the kind of person to just wait around for things," She paused, and flashed him a playful smile. Brushing her hair out of her face, she continued. "Do you want to go with me?" Narcissa smiled, waiting for his response. She was pretty confident that he would say yes, but she was still eager. She wasn't usually like this with guys, but this was different. This time, it was a guy that she really liked. While waiting for his response, she began to wonder about her hair and dress. One thing was for sure... She would look stunning.

[William Harris]

Glad they shared so much in common, he wondered if it were almost too good to be true; a dream rather than reality, but if it were a dream; he didn't want to wake up yet.
"Oh good, I didn't want you showing me up and being dead clever around me." He teased, "quick witted I may be, but academic? Never." He concluded with a broadening grin.

"A beautiful lady like yourself hasn't had luck with a relationship? I found that hard to believe." He complimented "guys are just waiting for you to even look in their direction, cause when you look my way my heart goes all a flutter. Though I wouldn't be so prejudice against other houses," he teasingly chiding with a smile "some of my best mates are in other houses, though mainly Gryffindor cause we do rock so much, the guys are all handsome, and the girls are all gorgeous too," he teased knowing it would prickle her. But he did find his mind wandering towards a certain someone, someone who he had a deep amazing history with. He'd only met this girl ten minutes ago, whereas Soph; he knew her completely, and she knew him, they accepted each other for who they were, and had a deep and everlasting love, would Narcissa be even better? He couldn't help but wonder, his relationship with Sophie was so complex, though he loved her like a sister at present, his love for Narcissa, so recently enflamed, was more passionate and fervour, with a fire within his belly in fact.

"There's nothing wrong with having fun all the time, that's my aim in life go wherever I'll enjoy myself. But really don't put yourself down," he scolded with a smirk "you're really beautiful, don't let that inflate your already huge go though," Will grinned quite determined to remain truthful.

As his attention was brought around to Maeve's predicament he came up with a solution quickly, "Maybe I should have a wor..." he never got any further as Narcissa's lips touched his once more, "nevermind," he mumbled kissing her again with greater adour.

After a time of continuous kissing and other forms of affection, Will's grin still remained strong, as Narcissa lay upon his broad shoulder he beamed about the hall, feeling quite alive. Then she furthered his excitement by mentioning a dance. "Really? There's a dance? Awesome, I'll have to wear my best suit for it, it's the richest red you've ever set your eyes upon."

Realising he had been caught up in the moment, he backtracked and agreed "well I suppose I should have asked you, but I didn't know about it, so I'm clean free, and conventions have turned upon their head, especially with you around. So basically the answer is, I'd be extremely honoured if we could go together." Smiling an image of Sophie once more flashed across his vision, she always wore such lovely dresses, and looked completely stunning in them, Jac was usually pretty spectacular in hers too. Perhaps he could introduce them sometime, he was sure they'd get along swimmingly; or even better Acelin, she would give them a run for their money with over-confidence.

"I'd love to go." He stated simply smiling from head to foot.

[narcissablack]

With her head still on his broad shoulder, and her hand in his, Narcissa smiled to herself. She didn't really spend too much time actually working in her classes, but somehow she managed to pass. She was glad that they had so many things in common, academics being one of them.

Her smile widened as he continuously complemented her. Will was unlike any guy she had ever met. He knew just what to say, and when to say it. He had a little bit of mystery to him, and he was sweet, not to mention really cute. She couldn't help but smile as she realized she was feeling the same. Her heart felt light, she was nervous, and she couldn't keep the smile off her face. This was new for her. Narcissa was never nervous around guys. Then again, a lot of the guys she had been with had turned out to be jerks who had just used her.

"I have to agree with you about the Gryffindor guys," She paused, smiling. "But the girls, I mean they're pretty, but Slytherin's are just.... gorgeous." She finished brushing her hand through her flawless blonde hair. Narcissa grinned as he told her not to put herself down.
"I don't think you have to worry about that," she said with a flirty smile, referring to overly inflating her ego.

Narcissa was expecting him to say yes, but she had to admit she was relieved when he did. She didn't really care that she had asked him, though most people would object to a girl asking a guy. She smiled, picturing his suit. "Well, Bella and I have also decided to have a dance for our birthdays. We decided to have them together this year, so if you want, you can be my date there also." She smiled at him questioningly. She lifted her head, and crossed her perfectly toned legs. She hoped that everything would be perfect; she wanted this to be a great night.

Narcissa was really excited. Not only was she going to get to spend an entire evening with Will, but she was going to get to wear her beautiful baby blue dress that went perfectly with her eyes. She would also have to decide on a hairstyle to complement her blonde locks. One thing was for sure, that when she finally put it all together, she would look stunning. She just hoped that Will thought so...

Still smiling while awaiting his decision, she pulled him in for a quick kiss.

[William Harris]

Will found his mind slipping once more; somehow he was feeling guilty; something he rarely experienced as he tended to live life without regrets. Though he had a pretty girl before him, his eyes drifted and he saw another, he wondered quite what he had got himself into; heartache was the likely conclusion, if she could so suddenly swoop down and take him, then why not another? Will prided hismelf on being overall not a bad looker; but there really were tons of other guys who would suit her far better, and who were even easier on the eyes.

Strangely enough due to his rather large ego, he didn't think her too good for him, but rathermore that she would all too quickly leave him in the lurch. After all this time of flitting between girlfriends it was finally beginning to dawn upon him; he wanted security; was he becoming soft in his old age?

Looking at Narcissa now he couldn't help but wonder if what she said was truthful or teasing or just plain arrogance. He really couldn't decide. The whirlwind of emotions was too much for his little mind; only this morning, it seemed only minutes ago, he had simply wanted a nice breakfast, now he was sat with a gorgeous gal; it was all too quick, he wasn't one to admit to being afraid of much; but the speed of this relationship was unnerving him no end.

Realising that Narcissa was on tenterhooks waiting for an answer for something she had said, he looked at her more awkwardly now, confusion written across his face, "yeah Gryffindor girls are gorgeous..oh I mean Slytherins, yeah," He laughed trying in vain to cover up his fatal school-boy error.

Will watched uncertainly half expecting that that simple, one off mistake would spell doom for him; at least it had been fun while it lasted.

As Narcissa asked if he'd be her date he grinned once more, "yeah course, I'd love to," but a small pang of guilt stabbed deep once more.
"I really love to dance, though I've kinda two left feet I don't particularly mind."

[narcissablack]

Narcissa smiled to Will. His head seemed to be in a different place... She could tell by his reaction when she asked him to the dance that he wasn't as excited as she was.
It only took one sentence from him, for Narcissa to realize his heart was in a different place also. She looked to her sister, and sighed.

She had heard rumors from a few others about him being with a fellow Gryffindor. Her name was Sophie, and from what she had heard they both still had feelings. Narcissa turned to Will and smiled. She knew things were coming to an end, and she decided it was best to do so now. By the blank look on his face, they were both thinking the same thing.

"Will, your still welcome to come to our dance, and..." she paused brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Sophie is invited also," She detatched her hand from his, and began to get up from the table. With one last look over at her sister and Scott, she bent down to kiss him on the cheek.

Narcissa didn't expect to feel any emotion, but she had come to like Will in the very short while she had known him. She tried to show nothing that she had just suddenly felt. She would try to keep it in until they were in the safety of their common room. She tried telling herself that It was fun while it lasted, though she had hoped it wouldn't just be a fling. This had happened to her loads of times, but this one felt different. Her Slytherin side was hoping that he would regret losing her...

"Thanks," she whispered to him, and with her same arrogent walk, she began to strut out of the great hall, her gorgeous blonde hair blowing in her wake.

[bellatrixblack]

Bella heard Will's little slip up. Narcissa seemed to hold in her emotions, but Bella for one was outraged. Bella turned to him and said, "Nice going Will. I don't think you realize this, but you just lost Narcissa Black. BLACK. And for who, Sophie?" Bella shook her head. "Look at Narcissa, then look at Sophie. WAY TO BE. Yeah, that was a real smart one." Bella stood up and picked up her pumpkin juice. She took a small sip, and poured the nearly full glass upside down on Will's head. She walked down the table, kissed Scott goodbye, appologized for leaving, and hurried after her sister out of the hall.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve watched the whole thing unfold. She didn't think anything would go wrong. She was really only half-paying attention, being in mind she was charming things to break on Joseph, who still had no scratch on his body. Maeve listened intently when Will gave his answer. Her eyes went wide. There was no way to cover that mistake up no matter what he did.

Maeve shook her head and glared at Will as her cousins left. "Hey, Harris. You only prove that the majority of the Gryffindors are idiots and far worse than any Slytherin could ever be. Once you insult a Black, you've insulted a Malfoy. And visa verca. So, you've just made three new enemies who know this school better than you'd ever know it." she got up and smacked the back of Will's head as she left. Once at the doors, she charmed another pitcher of pumpkin juice to collapse over Will's head, then walked out the door in search of her cousins.

[narcissablack]

Narcissa had turned to sneak a glance right as she was walking out of the hall. She looked just in time to see Bella pour her pumpkin juice on Will, and following that, Maeve slapped him. narcissa couln't help but force a smile at her sister and cousin's actions. She was glad they stood up for her. She hadn't gotten a chance to say anything that she was feeling. She felt lead on, and used. When it came down to it, he hadn't chose her.

Unsure of where she had planned on going, she decided to sit right outside of the hall. She slid down the stone wall, still in her jeans and emerald green tank top. She shouldn't be too upset, after all she had only known this guy for less then an hour. But things had moved fast, and she had become attatched. Narcissa was usually strong. After all, she was a Black. But there was something she liked about him. He complemented her, was sweet, and made her smile... Narcissa felt confused. Will had never actually said anything to her about Sophie, but she sensed it. And there was no point of spending her time with him if he still liked Sophie. And it wasn't like she hated him now...
Narcissa sighed, hoping her sister or her cousin would come soon. She hated being alone at times like this. It made her feel insecure. Pulling her hair into a low ponytail to get it out of the way, she leaned her head back onto the stone wall, wondering what could possibly happen now.

[bellatrixblack]

Bella came bursting throught the Hall doors. "WHAT A SQUIB!" she blurted, before the doors had a chance to close. But, she didn't particularly care who heard, and sincerely hoped that Will did. "He has NO idea what he just did!"

Bella stood infront of Cissy, her hands on her hips, lips pursed, and an irate expression on her face. "I thought Gryffindor boys were kind and sweet. But no! I swear he belongs in Slytherin. I HATE Slytherin boys!"

Bella knew she was talking about her own house, but every male she had met from her house was a complete boor!

[narcissablack]

Narcissa heard her sister come bursting through the Hall doors. She yelled something, but Narcissa wasn't paying much attention. She felt sick. Still resting her head back against the wall, she layed her tan legs in front of her. Its not that big of a deal she tried telling herself, but it didn't help. She had once again gone through the same ordeal. She started to like a guy, and all of a sudden things changed. This had happened before, but this time she just felt... different. It really shouldn't have affected her. They were never really together. But for some reason, it did.

"Thanks Bella." She muttered, her eyes closed. She was happy to have a sister that stood up for her. Narcissa patted the ground next to her, motioning for her sister to sit down. She smiled to herself, thinking of what she would have to do to repay her sister if her and Scott ever decided to stop their fling. People walking past the doors were trying to catch a glimpse of them, wondering what all the yelling was about.

Narcissa lifted her head, trying to act like she didn't really care, and that it was him that should be regretting losing her. She crossed her legs underneath her body, and sat up, deciding that she would try and perk up by time her cousin got here.

She quietly laughed at her sisters last comment about Gryffindor and Slytherin guys. "Yeah, I thought so too.. But I can't argue about the Slytherin guys. Anyone could take one look at Angrod and tell we certainly don't have the best lookers over here." She paused, forcing a smile, trying to keep her spirit's up. "And Gryffindor's aren't the brightest either if they're deciding to trade up a BLACK on some Sophie girl."

[Fitz Hargreaves]

An informant of Fitz Hargreaves had told of a strange rucous down at the Great Hall. The little Hufflepuff Second year had come career into Fitz' makeshift office with vital news. William Harris was cuddling another girl. Though Fitz actually hated the boy, he knew Will's betrayal of sorts would hurt Sophie deeply. Eyes flashing with anger he had strode from his office, not giving the young chap time to regain his breath and fully report the goings on. Fitz would see for himself.

He arrived on the scene with simmering anger bubbling beneath the surface. Harris would pay for his impudence, he'd had flings with Sophie on and off for far too long. Striding into the hall with a wide smirk as he plotted, Fitz was just in time to see jug of pumpkin juice upended upon Harris' head. Did he really deserve that he wondered? As the informant quickly whispered further detail into his ear, Fitz watched with keen glowing eyes. Then he heard a name; Sophie, hands curling into fists he delayed his temper and waited patiently.

With ears pricked to listen in Fitz shot a warning glance at William, his beloved cousin had been insulted; now he was determined to find out why.
Hearing one of the Black sisters shouts he rolled his eyes, what pathetic insults; squibs; how original. Though he himself was a writer so demanded excellence with words.

Striding out into the hall he glowered down at the pair of Slytherin girls. "Some Sophie girl," he roared "your surname means nothing foolish children, you only gain honour, valour and reputation via your own feats, not your families. What age are you living in?" He asked incredulously.

"I know you only from your shouts and screams, upending pumpkin juice upon a hapless lad who was probably ensnared by your vipers tongues. Your first impressions are incredibly poor, don't be so quick to use your damned reputation, because you've actually got none." Smirking he added "I could break you like a twig. Don't bother to test me on that, I've literally destroyed reputations, even Deitrich could topple with the right words in the right places. It was a pleasure taking you down a few pegs as you so richly deserve."

Chuckling he finished "But Sophie can fight her own battles so if you want to insult her, at least have the decency to do it properly and to her face, I'm sure she'd be happy to sort you out." Whilst spinning on his heel Fitz declared "now I'll deal with Harris"

Bellatrix looked at Narcissa sadly, "I'm sorry, Cissa. But it's probably for the best. We are Blacks after all, and no one really likes us." With a sigh, she went to twirl a strand of her beautiful brown hair.

Only to find it wasn't there! It turned out Evra's curse actually did work magnificently, and her hair refused to grow back, no matter how many times she tapped her head.

(Because apparently that's all you need to do, tap your head with your wand, and your hair flourishes!)

Pouting suddenly, Bellatrix remembered Scott doesn't like bald girls and ran to the fourth floor lavatory where she cried heavily.

And once again I will say:

YOU ARE A BITCH!
