Becca had been in her dorm room working on homework -- ick! -- but had decided that that was no fun at all, and was heading back down into the common room despite the fact that it wasn't all finished, because hey! She had other things to do, too. Like have fun, yep.

She bounced her way down the stairs, wondering if maybe she could find Lauren and convince her to actually let her ride on her broom, and wasn't paying much attention at all. So of course she heard Simon's voice a second too late and was colliding with him before she could stop herself.

"Simon!" she exclaimed indignantly. "Nobody cares about flobberworms; pay attention." Not that she had been paying much attention herself, but that was so obviously not the point.

And then it hit her that, hey, Simon had a broom! And though she said not a word, her expression entirely changed.

"Becca, must you BE IN MY WAY?"

Pssh. Everyone cared about flobberworms!! She was just too young to have realized that fact, of course. Everyone who had half a brain knew that flobberworms were INSANE and needed CHEWING ON -- or wait. That was wrong... ah well. He'd figure that out later.

While his brain was running at about a million times a second and thinking about ten million things, he registered the change on his little sister's face.

What was she up to? She was up to SOMETHING, he could just tell. It was all written RIGHTTHERE! in her eyes. Yeeees it was. "You're thinking. I can smeeeeell the smoke. So do tell your big brother what's put that look in your eye, yes?"

Of course she must 'be in his way', that was the job of a little sister after all! Of course, as she saw it, it was entirely Simon's fault. She didn't say so, though, because she was much too concentrated on getting something that she wanted.

After all, Becca didn't like not getting what she wanted!

"There is no smoke!" she couldn't help exclaiming, and then she was latched onto his arm. "Simooooooooon." Her tone? Very, very whiny as she looked up at him with eyes somewhere between innocent and sweet. Or maybe just both at the same time. "You'd do me a favor, right? Help me out, riiight?"

Actually, Becca had no idea how attached he was or wasn't to his broom, but surely that wouldn't matter.

[bing_bing_boh]

"There IS! LOOK! RIGHT THERE!"

He pointed to a spot above her head before OHGODSHEWANTEDSOMETHING!

That whiny tone! GAH! He HATED that whiny tone! And being as she was his little sister, she'd likely get what she wanted too!! GAH!!

He tried to make himself look aggravated as she whined up at him, but it wasn't working. Mostly, he just looked like he wished a horse would come and bite her in the butt.

Hey. That'd be funny! Speaking of horses, he needed to see if the Groundskeeper would let him keep one in the pumpkin patch; the fact that Hogwarts-- OH YEAH SHE WANTED SOMETHING.

"...depends on what you'll do for meeee," he replied slyly, grinning down at his little sister. She knew how it worked! Pssh. Couldn't just go asking for something.
