I trudged down the hall, mud and water coming off me like a waterfall.
"Password?" demanded the stretch of stone wall that was the entrance to the Slytherin commonroom.
"Mudbloods die," I snarled. The wall seemed to take extra pleasure in giving out passwords somewhere along those lines. Once, I had been forced to say 'Keth Thompson is dirt' for three weeks. I hated that wall. Hated it with all my heart.
"Sorry," the wall said cheekily, "but the password has been changed. Go away now, you shouldn't be here if you don't know the password."
Grinding my teeth, I spun around, walking down the hall towards the stairs. Looked like another night with Myrtle.
"Shae!" Morph called out behind me.
"What is it now?" I growled.
"You can spend the night in my commonroom, if you like," she told me hesitantly.
"That's all right," I mumbled. "I'd rather not be surrounded by people who hate my guts for being put in the house that suits me the least," I told her, and stalked away.
"Hi, Shae. Locked out, again?" greeted Myrtle's squeaky voice as I walked in the bathroom.
"Yeah. Can you do me a favor?" I asked her, striding over the stall at the very back, on the left.
"What?" her voice was sharp, like every other time I asked her something.
"Flood the bloody bathroom so no one will bother to flaming bother me," I growled.
"Of course!" she giggled, then, and floated over to the sinks. I didn't watch her, I just turned to the wall to my right and stuck my wand exactly three inches into the wall, in a place where the stone wasn't very close together. "Fartintha," I whispered. There was no noise, the crack just widened enough for me to crawl in and into the passage behind it, then it closed up again.
"Lumos." My small area lit up with the bright light of the spell. After discovering it-or rather, having Myrtle tell me about it-I had brought a few things here under an invisibility charm. There was a torch and bracket I had stolen from the wall outside the commonroom entrance-Filch had blamed that idiot Keeper for that one, to my entertainment-a blanket and a pillow, resting over a place I had softened with a spell, a couple of books, some parchment, ink, quills... This was more my hideout from other people, to avoid them while I did my schoolwork or just had some time to myself, than it was a last resort for when the Slytherins wouldn't let me into the dormitories.

Jordan laughed as Gwen scampered off, he would have to try and get a game in with her.
"So ladies... What were you saying? Hogsmede? We could go right now, but i was heading to the forrest! Wanna come?" he watched as they exchanged shocked glances and scurried off. "Thanks for the compliment he shouted after them."

Gwen felt instantly sorry for the poor animagus, before remembering that he was sort of flying around the Hogwarts Grounds as a ... sort of bird.... perhaps a Griffin? Gwen was just about to start telling Brandon off for being so careless, when she remembered why she had run off. "Brandon?" she asked pleadingly. "I'll keep your secret, as long as you do me a favour." Seeing the pleading look on Brandon's face, Gwen continued. "So the animagus thing is safe with me, you, Flitwick, and whoever else, if-" she paused, and tried to keep her voice a normal tone "-well, you know Jordan from Hufflepuff, right?" Gwen heard Brandon moan. "Lemme guess....you want a date with him, right? Look, I know this great passageway out of Hogwarts...not too romantic, but it'll do...if you want I can get you guys outta Hogwarts tonight...It leads right to Hogsmeade, and..." "No!" Gwen interrupted. "Just....just - tell me everything you know about him." She finished with, not only a pleading tone in her voice, but such a look of patheticness in her eyes, it was hard not to heed her plea. "I want to know everything about him...!....Wait a second...not so much that it's freakish, like knowing the exact ages and birthdays of his parents and stuff, but I want to know.....ummm...what are his favourite classes...and, is he in...5th year? Gosh, ummmm....does he have any siblings my age? Is he muggle-born, or what? Wait, don't ask him that if you don't know, If he is muggle born, I don't want him to think I'm as cruel as those Slytherins....Oh Gosh, I just want to know if he lives near me! That way we could play quiddtch in the summer!!! You know, I'm an okay chase, too....  And my contacts help me be a god seeker too...What position does he play, again? And, what's his favourite Quidditch team? Does he have any siblings? What annoys him most? Does he - does he....l-l-like....m-me?" She finished helplessly. |

Brandon sat there, dumbstruck. Was this blackmail? He deemed it so, but he didnt mind. Find out about Jordan, keep secret. Good deal.
"Um...yeah...guess so..." he murmured.
He didnt know that much about Jordan. He got the bad feeling he was going to end up having to be matchmaker soon. Why couldnt that stupid thestral have just bitten him in the neck and stopped THIS?
"Yeah, uh...he...well, I dont know too much about him...I can find out about him though..." remembering the dont-ask-jordan-stuff part he added "I mean, I'll just like ask one of the teachers when his birthday is, and I could easily find out if he has siblings, ya know..."
With that, he rushed out the room to find Jordan and find out the stuff he needed to know. Mid-run, he halted. What if Gwen DIDNT keep it a secret? Then it hit him. If she spills the beans on me, then I'll spill the beans about her an Jordan, he figured. But he doubted it could come to that.

(( I think a recap of whats going on is in order:
At the start of this little soap opera, Slythering were playing Raven claw in quiddich. Slytherin won but their beater (I think it is) wasnt to happy with being tormented for being the only muggle born in Slytherin ever. Jordan, a fith year Hufflepuff, seeking a laugh went for a walk, on the way he found his friend Morph, who was talking to her friend, the Slytherin beater, but because of the earlyer tormenting, the beater ran off in a huff and is now sleeping in the toilets.
Thi brings us onto Gwen Grotter, she was talking to Jordan, but seems to be developing a bit of a crush, she ran off when she saw something flyinto her common room. It turned out to be the illegal animagus Brandon, who Gwen is now blackmailing to find out as much as she can about Jordan in return for her silence.
Because of the plot, Ill go edit Jordans profile so it has more info.))

Jordans gonna have to sit tight until someone encounters him)) Jordan, seeing the sky was getting dark trudged back up to the Common room, muttered the password 'Incence', clambered through the tapestry that had roled itself up revealing the round, dome shaped room, then flung himself into a pouffe curling up with a book for the night, he never felt the need to go to his room. |

Oh, okay, sorry IrishDragonLord.  Anyway.... After seeing Brandon run off, though a little confused, Gwen started pacing. If Brandon spills my secret, or asks Jordan, then I'm in huge trouble, and he'll never look me in the eye again, or when he does, he'll just be looking with disrespect...And if Brandon gets embarrased about having to ask people other than Jordan a lot about Jordan, they might get the wrong idea...Then Brandon might have to tell them that it's not for him, t's for me, and then my popularity with the enitre Hufflepuff house will be gone, they'll all taunt me, and then I'll be doomed to 5 more years of misery, and then... Like the thought of most anxious people, Gwen's were mixed up and swarming all over the place. Gwen remembered when Harry Potter was taking a bath and Myrtle started talking to him. If Myrtle could only snag Jordan for her, then she wouldn't have to embarras Brandon or risk the chance of embarrasing herself. Mind made up, she raced down to the girl's bathroom. "What are YOU doing here?" came the whiny, high-pitched voice of Moaning Myrtle. "Look, Myrtle..." Gwen gulped. This wasn't going to be easy. "You don't know me, and I only know of you, not directly, so this is probably going to be pretty hard, but...could - you....I need.....a little favour...." Gwen suddenly stumbled. She didn't notice the floor was wet. Obviously Myrtle had been trying to flood the bathroon again. But....why? Myrtle didn't look like she was in that bad a mood.... "Well, what?" Myrtle was very angry, apparently. Probably because Gwen had tried to ask her for a favour. "Well, you know that Hufflepuff 5th year, Jordan?" Gwen started. Myrtle started smiling. "Oooh yes, he's that good-looking one, isn't he?" Gwen smiled. Perhaps this might be a little easier than she expected. "Could you, perhaps, bump in to him at one point?" Myrtle started frowning. "But I'm a ghost! I'll simply go through him! Ooh yes, what a good idea!!! Lets make fun of Myrtle and have her go through a boy!!!" she started screaming. Gwen was just about to give up and go back to Ravenclaw, when she noticed a rather peculiar spot on a wall, where the stone pieces were strangely mis-aligned... |

Brandon searched fervently. Where is he? Please dont be the common room, he begged himself.
After a fruitless ten minutes, he decided to go back.
Passing the kitchens, he remembered something. The Hufflepuff common room was near the kitchens. He hurried off to find it.
He saw Jordan go up to a portrait and say Incense. "Jordan!" he called. Jordan didnt pay attention or didnt hear him. Brandon ran up and said the password, "Incense." He clambered into the room to find Jordan. "Hi," he said casually. "I, um, was wondering..." then it hit him what he had jsut gotten himself into. Oh crap, he thought. What do I say?
"I...uh...wanted to...uh...can you come with me for a minute?" he added desperately. He had no idea what he was doing.

((You know what would make this funny? If Brandon developed a crush on Gwen, and Crzaywriter started spreading rumors for what she THINKS Jordan is saying about her))
Jordan looked up from his book humming a nymphic melody. "Uhhh, arent you in Ravenclaw? I got detention once before for giving away our password. We better go." he said, placing the book back on the floor and walking towards the entrance tapestry. He rolled it up then stepped outside, next to the picture of a bowl of fruit. "Now what was it you wanted?" he asked, scratching the back of his head, a grin on his face.

OOC: Does not, has not, and will not have crush on Gwen  However, me / my character are willing to have a crush on a different character. Let's elaborate. Brandon becomes matchmaker for Gwen and Jordan, but likes another girl who thinks he likes Gwen who likes Jordan who...who...uh...likes Gwen...? |

"Um...yeah...well, I...uh...ok. When's your birthday? And...do you have any siblings, and are you pure-blood?" Suddenly inspiration took him. "This is for a little interview I'm doing of the Quidditch players," he lied.

Thanks)) I lit the torch and whent over to the pile of books I kept stored there, pulling out The Wonders of the Animagus and how to Become One. The idea that a human being could become an animal had always intrigued me, and I was making swift progress in achieving it. No one knew my wish to become one, not even the teachers. This was something I was going to achieve by myself. I had already chosen my animal. Black panthers had always fascinated me. Myrtle knew, though. Only because she had stuck her head through the wall when I was practicing how to become an Animagus. That time had been my best try at it. I had been able to get myself a tail, that time, and get rid of it fairly easily. Better than the other times, when I had had to use about a million magical reversal spells to get rid of paws, or some other such problem. |

"Oh, Im flattered!" he replied, still grinning. "My birthday is 27 November, Sagitarius all the way! I have 12 younger brothers and sisters and two older brothers. Im pure blood like my Dad, but my Mums half and half, shes doing time in Azkaban for Un Authorised Spell Experimentation or someting, crazy old witch, but she has a good heart." he shrugged. "Do you want my siblings names or is that ok with you?" he joked.

And my contacts help me be a god seeker too...What position does he play, again? And, what's his favourite Quidditch team? Does he have any siblings? What annoys him most? Does he - does he....l-l-like....m-me?" She finished helplessly.
Anyway....
However, me / my character are willing to have a crush on a different character. Let's elaborate. Brandon becomes matchmaker for Gwen and Jordan, but likes another girl who thinks he likes Gwen who likes Jordan who...who...uh...likes Gwen...?
