[SC.Room] A Slytherin Christmas

[Ricky Daine]

Ricky watched as Morgana more or less dragged Erys up the stairs and out of his sight, which was never a good thing when the person you like to look at is dragged away somewhere so you can no longer look at her. He looked down at the sock'em boppers on the floor and laughed, he thought back to when she had them on moments earlier, a sight he never wanted to erase as that was hilarious.

With a laugh, he sat on the couch, completley oblivious to Morgana's schemes, which in all honesty, he should not have been. He should have figured she would have something up her sleeve, Morgana always did. Listening to the chatter of the Common Room, Christmas was definatly in the air, even for the Kneazle who was chomping away on the cat nip Ricky had bought for it. He watched as it spun around and fell over, then ran to the christmas tree and began attacking the baubles and lights. Which of course made Ricky laugh. Catnip, like drugs for cats and Kneazles.

Someone's eyes widened who was stood infront of him, and he turned around in time to hear Morgana say, "Are you ready for your present Ricky." His eyes dropped open at the sight of the box, it was huge. What had she put in there? A bloody car? Ricky stood up slowly, shock and surprise clearly written in both his face and his body language.

"Bloody hell Morgana..." He said as he walked over to the box, "Whats in there? A basilisk?"

It was the only way he could express his shock, and before he opened it he gave her a rather large hug. Which was totally uncharictaristic for Ricky. He never hugged, ever. Walking over to the box, once he had released his friend, he took off the lid and waited for a basilisk or something to jump out at him. Though what jumped out at him, wasnt quite what he expected...

Erys ran up to her giving her a big hug. Angel smiled because that was her best friend something she hadn't taken for granted. Erys was one of the only people that could make her smile. As she just did with her thoughtful gift, the scrap book was so perfect. She grinned at the pictures remembering the crew that was long gone now except for her and Erys. That's probably why they kept so tight.

Taking a look back at Erys to thank her Angel noted that she appeared to be very happy, really, really happy. Something was different she wasn't sure what but there was something. The two needed to have a little girl talk when time permitted. Just as she was about to discuss that another girl walked into the room this one she didn't know, Angel watched her walk all the way to the tree before she heard Erys voice this time telling Angel that there was a present waiting for her in her room.

Angel smiled "ooh really, this has got to be good" she kissed Erys cheek and ran to go see. What she found had to be the sweetest kitten asleep under her bed. It was a slight shock to her simply because this was a major gift. The kitten woke and looked at her. Angel softened only a little, as she picked her up. "She's got good taste" Angel joked as the kitten mewed at her. "I think you'll be Zara" a shortened female version of Salazar. "Now just promise you'll do me and Erys proud little kitten" placing Zara on her bed to continue her cat nap Angel ran back down and straight at Erys "You're the best you know that" she grinned actually finding herself having a good time.

Ricky had opened his gift and he appeared to like it, good thing too because it almost didn't arrive in time and she wasn't sure what to get him., but after what he did she made sure he had something.

After she returned so many things were going on Morgana dragged Erys up the stairs, Angelina opened a gift from home that seemed to make her overjoyed. Then Morgana reappeared without Erys but a huge box floating down the stairs. Apparently this was her gift to Ricky. Curious Angel wondered what could be in such a big box.

[Erys Grace]

What jumped out at him was more or less an exotically spotted blur which shot out of the box at an alarming rate, changing in to a human, before wrapping her legs around his waist - arms slung around his neck. It was a spur of the moment decision, completely spontaneous, and quite an unpredictable move. He wouldn't have a chance to register what happened until she paused with a devilish smile and said, "Merry Christmas, Ricky," before pressing her lips against his. So Morgana had known about their little crush. Erys herself hadn't realised he returned the feelings, but he must have, or else why'd she-snake wrap her up like this? Heh. She didn't even care if he didn't, either, if this was all some big sham. The only thoughts functioning in her head were the ones telling her to kiss him, and how right everything felt for once in her life. This was perfect.

It was gentle, a little tamer, a change for her. Erys was usually quite the passionate one, considering it a bit rude to turn this happy holiday in to an all-out makeout fest between her and Ricky. So she kept it at a nice length until another time, eyes closed, a smile on her face as her lips hovered against his. Laughing a little, bumping her nose against his, she shot a grin at Morgana - smart little Slytherin - then at Angel. Looking back at Ricky now, who had hopefully not dropped her from surprise, Erys focused her now golden eyes in to his, wondering if he was okay with it. Psh, hell if he was! She was loving this.[/color]

As she watched a familiar animal figure jump out of the box Angel watched as Erys ran at Ricky and suddenly change back into her human form. While she wrapped her legs around the unsuspecting boy Angel finally realized what it was that had her friend so very happy. She didn't think she'd ever see the day but here it was. Erys found someone she liked and it was Ricky Angel thought very well of this pairing. Then her bff shocked her some more by kissing him. This was a side of Erys she hadn't seen before, the usually calm, cool, and calculating girl was acting spontaneously. Angel was proud as could be.

Erys gave her a look and Angel gave her a thumbs up. She liked Ricky and she thought he would be good for her friend. Despite Angel's feelings for Morgana she thought that was a cool thing she did for Erys. So she looked at Morgana and said in a soft tone "good thinking."

[Ricky Daine]

((Thought I would let you all see Rickys Reaction))

He opened the box slowly, whether it was to keep himself in suspence or the others he didn't know. He wondered where Erys was, though that question was soon answered. When he opened the box, something came flying out at him, really fast and it didnt register to Ricky what it was, all he saw was spots. He gave a small yelp and fell backwards, though he opened his arms to catch whatever it was, though when he finally registered what Morgana had given him as a gift, he was exreamly surprised, for more than one reason. It was surprising because he hadnt thought people had noticed his attraction to her, and in all honesty he didnt think she was attracted to him so that was a major shocker. The other one was, he was surprised Erys would have agreed to be stuck in a box, though a smile (yes an actual smile) was creeping slowly up Ricky's face. Having Erys as a christmas present must have been the best one he had recieved.

It was a little difficult, she wasnt heavy but because he jumped back and caught her he was mildly unsteady on his legs as one was quite far back. He looked up at Erys as he slowly brought his left leg level with his right one. "Merry Christmas to you too," he managed to say before her lips were on his. Yet another thing to add to Rickys shock this morning. In all honesty, he had planned to get her under some mistletoe, but he figured there was no need now. He really wanted to run his hands through her hair, though he couldnt because if he moved his arm, she would fall and that would definatly ruin this moment. He was aware of eyes on the two of them, but he didnt care. Let them stare. He was currently locked with one of the most beautiful and dangerous girls in the school, he didnt care if everyone was staring at him.

It was indeed a gentle kiss, he always thought her kisses would be more firery, usually his was but for some reason or another, it seemed right for it to be a nice gentle one. Ricky moved when she did and looked at her, a rather large grin on his face. He screwed up his nose and closed his eyes once she bumped her nose into his with a small laugh. He would have to take Morgana for a drink to say thanks for this. When she looked back at him, he gave her a smile to show that he was more than okay with this.

"Merry christmas indeed!" He laughed.

[Morgana Wyatt]

As the pair of new love birds kissed, Morgana looked away. For one, it was a private thing for the two to share, and two, it made her feel rather ill. Smooches, yuk. Of course, Morgana had her fair share of boyfriends, mainly to use them for something she wanted, but nevertheless, boyfriends.

Indeed Morgana had known of the tension between Erys and Ricky, to her it had been obvious from the start. They were a little different around each other, even if neither of them realised. Oh yes, Morgana has keen senses on matters such as this, but the thought of her being all nicey nice made her feel physically sick. What was this Christmas thing doing to her? Yuk!

"Oh come on, I'm not that cheap, I got you this too" she smirked. It was known her Father was quite the business man and the family was well off. Morgana never hid the fact that she was a spoilt little brat, at least she got the best things in life. Passing Ricky a small flat square box, she let it drop into his hand. Enclosed in the black box with a green ribbon concealing the prize, was a long necklace, Dogtags attached, with With a Snake on one of the tags and His name on the other.

Looking back to the voice that came from Angel, she nudged her gently with her elbow, her way of calling their little 'feud' as a truce. Morgana was clearly at fault, but she never admitted that she was wrong. Never. Giving the girl a genuine smile, she mouthed 'Thanks' before flicking her eyes back over to Erys and Ricky.

[Angelique Juliette]

The strangest thing occurred. Morgana gave Angel a little nudge, and it wasn't one that was filled with animosity or even a spiteful one, it was actually rather friendly. Angel hadn't expected it so her face registered surprise at first then a smile broke out from her lips. It seemed their little feud over the traitor had now ended. Angel was glad because she hated people thinking she too was a traitor. She loved her house more than anyone would ever know and couldn't even bare the thought of defiling the name of Slytherin.

So far it had been a pretty good Christmas and now she did feel bad that she hadn't thought to get Morgana anything. She wasn't a bad person she was just loyal to her house.

"Thanks" she said to Angel and the girl gave her a smile in return, before eying her bff who seemed happy now that she got to kiss Ricky. Angel admired her friend and was soon wistful but good things came in time she supposed, for now it was Erys time to shine. Angel looked over and winked at her.

[Erys Grace]

Erys closed her eyes and breathed in his scent, so close, so familiar.. It drove her heightened senses wild. Basking for just one second more, she loosened her legs' grip around his hips and slid off, keeping her hands clasped around his neck. Searching his face with her eyes, she noticed the smile, and felt a jolt of triumph surge through her body. He didn't mind then? Hah! Score 5234 - oh yes, shes counting - for Erys!

Feeling something strange come up her throat, she choked for a moment, gurgling as she swallowed back a terribly uncharacteristic giggle. How could she almost let go of herself like that? Disgusting. The Slytherin laughed inwardly, while outwardly was a different story. Bending over a little to rest her hands on her knees, she gasped for air a little, seemingly choking on something but really nothing except her discreet shame at a nearly embarrassing moment. Quite a mouthful. "Agh, I'm, ehkay.." She managed with a grin, accepting, or perhaps summoning, a glass of water for aid. Downing it slowly, she sighed with relief, calm once again. "Yeah, don't know what went on there."[/color]
