Tia sprinted up the stairs to the dormitory, her long, black, feather-filled hair streaming out behind her. She loved running, it was as close to flying as you could get without leaving the ground.
She skidded to a halt and threw open the door before bouncing into her room. Mac was already there, sprawled out doing homework, and Tia could help but grin.
"You should have seen her! She's this new bloke from her Quidditch team and my Mum caught them snogging in the broom shed! She chased him all over the yard screaming before he finally hopped on his boom and flew away!" She laughed brightly. "It was brill! I've never seen Gwen so miffed!"
"She does! It's a right laugh, let me tell you! This 'blokes' name is Ivana, but she goes by Ivan and wears mens clothes and all. I have to refer to him as a bloke at home since Mum doesn't know Gwen bats for the other team. I think she might loose her juice if she found out. Ivan is a fit piece of tail though..."
"My Mum would toss her on her arse and wipe her from the will! My Dad would most likely kill himself." She shook her head. "Mental, both of them." She hopped off the bed and rummaged through her trunk, before pulling out her photo album. "There they are. Dishy, isn't he? She still hasn't told me, can you fathom it! She thinks I'm fooled! But Ivana and I had a nice chat in the Ash one day."
"Does Ivana prefer to use male pronouns?" Mac queried, curious in spite of herself.
"Wow!" she breathed, examining the photo. "What a brill couple! But how can Gwen possibly think she's fooled you? And . . . Ivana climbs trees? And talks to you about sexuality when your own sister won't?"
"Yeah, he goes by Ivan and all. Says he was a bloke trapped in a birds body." She smiled at the photo, Ivan brought out the best in Gwen.
"You think Gwen talks to me about anything? Move over! She still thinks I'm bleeding five years old. But Ivan is Ace. He and I talked loads while I was home sick."
"Wow! Wish my brothers' birds were anything like that!" Mac said enviously. "I'm glad he's at least allowed to come by your house, then, even if your Mum doesn't like him."
Mac stretched back onto the bed, sprawling on her back.
Tia streched out next to her, one arm thrown across her stomach.
"Yeah, he's really ace. Though, if my Mum had any idea who he really was I think she might try to thow him in Azkaban or sommat." She streched, settling herself more comfortably. "I don't think I've ever seen a bird like him before though. He just made everything seem so... Beautiful."
Tia turned to face her, tracing a pattern on the sheets beside Macs leg.
"He's got this... Spirit. You know? And these eyes... He's got this whole new outlook I've never seen before. And he gets me. I swear, if he wasn't snogging Gwenog I'd take him for myself. Not to mention the fact that he's got the fittest arse I've ever seen." She laughed. "It was just... Nice. Chatting with him."
She skidded to a halt and threw open the door before bouncing into her room. Mac was already there, sprawled out doing homework, and Tia could help but grin.
"Hi honey! I'm home!"

"Have you got a picture, then? And how did Gwen tell you, anyhow?"

Mac rolled over towards Tia onto her stomach and propped herself up on her elbows, playing with the ends of her braids.
