{Okay. Due to the fact that Sillybatty was also brave enough to post her 1000 th post here, so shall I. \/\/3 /-\|-3 /-\|\| l337 8|-0|_|P!!!!!!!! Yay 1000 th post!!!!!!!} Gwen turned to Mercy confusedly. "Well, you did say you knew I knew something about something you did and that I should drop the routine..." She trailed off as she saw Mercy wasn't listening; she was busy drawing a comic. Gwen looked over her shoulder, glancing curiously at the comic. "Hey, cool!" She pointed to a figure walking around wearing robes, and another set of robes as a cape. "Can that be me? She looks cool!" She frowned thoughtfully, and said slowly "No, she's not cool enough. Here, let me pose for you." She tilted her hat so that it was at a 45 degree angle on her head, rolled up the hem of her robes at the bottom, stood slanted with a hand on her hip and her wand in her limp hand hanging by her side. She put on a snooty face. "Cool enough for you?" She laughed along with Mercy, and turned to Marie, who had been hunched in a corner, scribbling something. She walked over, curious. "What are you writing, Marie?" She said sincerely. To be honest, she felt rather guilty about being so nasty to Mercy, Marie and Shae. She wanted to be overly nice to them all. She turned back to Shae. "How bad is it? The stone, I mean?" She asked sincerely. Her mad thought exchanges with Brandon were completely out of her head. [/move][/size] EDIT: Wow, also the 600 th post on this Thread ... what a post to remember!!!  |

Marie's eyes snapped open as she was addressed by Gwen. She hid the slip of parchment she had been taking notes on into her Ancient Runes book. "Nothing; I'm not writin' nothing."
((I guess Marie has grammer problems when she's trying to keep a secret... That was completely unintentional, but it works. Hehe.))

((LOL Congrats Ajenn^^))
Mercy looked up and laughed. "Hey, that's pretty funny... I should draw that." She finished the picture, and held it up. "How's this?"
(edit: 330th post XD just had to say that)

Gwen turned around and laughed. "Did you have to make me look like such a Harry Potter clone trying not to look it?" She grinned widely "Yes, I know that didn't make much sense and you should just ignore it." She walked over to Marie. "Nothing, eh? That's funny, you've spoken with nothing but perfect grammar since I met you ... what was with that last bit?" She furrowed her brow; she was sure she had seen Marie writing.

((Ook. She only slips up her grammer once or twice when she wants to keep something secret, now. Heh.))
"If I said I wasn't writing anything, I wasn't writing anything," Marie said. She was about to shoo Gwen away, but had an idea. "By the way, you wouldn't happen to know a boy in your house with black hair and who's incredibly good at Transfiguration, would you?"
Give me a clue, give me a clue, give me a clue... Was the hopeful thought in Maries head as she waited for Gwen to respond.

Gwen's left eyebrow raised slightly. Brandon was exceptionally good at Transfiguration, with black hair. However, Marie had been very closely involved with the going-ons last night, and she obviously knew a little about the Gryphon under the invisiblity cloak. She knew Marie was trying to figure something out. Gwen didn't want to tell her, but she didn't want to lead Marie in the wrong direction, either. She furrowed her eyebrows, thinking. "Well, I'm not exactly sure. I think that marks are somewhat useless; it's knowledge and skill and bravery that really matter. I don't know ... There are a lot of first years who seem pretty good, and anybody older than me seems good to me, as I'm not very good in it ..." She shrugged. To be honest, she didn't really even know how good Brandon was in transifuration; she just assumed he was good because he was an animagus, which was probably what Marie was thinking, as well.

Mercy grinned. "But you do seem a bit like a Harry Potter clone trying not to be..." She shrugged. As Gwen turned to Marie, Mercy started drawing Brandon beside Gwen.
((She's drawing a comic of school - like me XD A bit more unrealistic though))
Marie's question caught Mercy's attention. "You mean Brandon?" After all, he did have black hair, and was in some of the same classes as she was...

Gwen gritted her teeth as Mercy called her a Harry Potter clone trying not to be, but released them as Mercy said it was Brandon. She released her clenched fists and relaxed. No matter where Brandon was, he must've heard that, and must now realize that Mercy ratted him out, and Gwen didn't say anything.

"Hm... Ah, Okay. Thanks anyway." Marie said. She felt like Gwen might be holding something back, but didn't want to pester her. There were always the kids in her House that might tell her, anyway. Stuffing her Ancient Runes book back in her book bag, she slipped out her Experiment notebook. It didn't really matter that Gwen saw it, as she had been in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom last night and had seen her potion stuff.
She flipped to the page with the most recent entrees. The small piece of paper she had written on earlier flew out from the notebook and floated to the floor by Gwen's feet. Not noticing it, she looked at her notes...

Brandon didnt stop pasting; but he wasnt all-too concerned - he was musing over past events.
That Gwen, why did I ever trust her? I bet, fisrt person who asks her, she'll rat me out AGAIN. And what is with her, "You're in my debt?" Prolly just so she can say it to the world what I am -
Brandon's ears perked when he heard Marie, and gritted his teeth, awaiting what he thought the "obvious" reply.
And it didnt come.
He swiveled his invisible head.
What was she doing?
His wrathful thoughts became more questioning, and he stopped thinkig his outrageous angered thoughts toward Gwen, realizing few people would be low enough to rat someone out jsut like that.
"You mean Brandon?"
Brandon swirled around, to see Mercy bluntly answering Marie.
MERCY! he exclaimed angrily.
Then he saw the notes slip from Marie.
He glided over, and bent down to see them.
It wasnt much - just some potion note.
Nevertheless, and seeing as Marie hadnt noticed, he stuffed them under his cloak, and stood up, but hit his head on Gwen's elbow.
"Ouch," he murmured.
He relaised that to anyone nearby, that statement would have come from nowhere.
"Oh -" he cut himslef short as he realised what he was doing again, and fled.

OOC: Just realized something - I'm the only one here with less than 1000 posts! Must fix  IC: Mercy was confused. "Huh? Did I do something wrong?" So Marie knew Brandon? Interesting... Wonder why. ((Not sarcasm: Mercy wasn't reading the paper, she was drawing, so she has no idea that she told on Brandon...)) "Huh? What was that?" she asked as she heard a word come from seemingly empty space. Something had been there... Invisible? But what could be invisible? "Something is so weird here," she muttered. |

((IDL: Just so you know, the note that Brandon just took says 'Thicken to lotion density.' It's not the paper with all the clues on it, which is in her Ancient Runes book. The paper note Brandon picked up was in her Potion Experiments book. I don't think I was clear enough on that, I suppose.
Ook. My last post was a little too late... Ah well.))
Marie's heart skipped at Mercy's response. So... I guess I was right after all, she thought. This was definitely a victory for her. Just... something to pester Brandon about when she saw him at lunch or something.
She looked down at the notebook in her hands. Where... Where's that piece of paper I had written on in Potions. Hm... No matter. She dipped her quill and wrote down what had been on the slip of paper: 'Thicken potion to lotion density.'
Problem solved. Marie smiled and put the notebook away.
