ATTEMPTING TO HIDE BY SITTING ON THE COMFY CHAIRS IN THE CORNER?

[chairismine]

"Oh, totally," Harry agreed with Jaina, while flashing Catty a wink and a bright grin to show her he was only kidding.

Of course, he had to blush at Catty's question, and even more as he realized she was a very attractive girl who in the grand scheme of things wasn't wearing that much and sitting very very close to him, and had she always felt that warm? Unfortunately for Harry, his mouth outpaced his brain, and while on autopilot he said, "O-of course."

Damn hormones.

Diverting his attention to Lucy, Harry covered his embarrassment with a smirk and shot back, "Oh really shorty? That doesn't sound so bad. Unless, of course, you're going to bend me in half like that kid who looked at you funny in your other school." Even Harry had heard the rumors surrounding Lucy, but he was a bit skeptical. Being the source of plenty of rumors himself, he knew to take absurd ones like the ones about her with a grain of salt.

[abovetwinsuns]

Jaina outright snorted at that, "...bend someone in half? Lucy?" She felt a rare giggle emanating from her mouth as she looked to her roommate, "What have you been telling people?"

[scroll_heir]

Catty parted her lips at Lucy's words, closed them as she thought of what to say, smiled, and started to roll with it. "I haven't started stalking you. Yet."

She caught Harry's blush, grinning even more brightly, leaning even closer to him. She reached out, ruffling his hair playfully. "What number am I on your list?"

[downwithdebs]

Raising her hands defensively, Lucy shook her head. "I didn't say anything! I guess the sheer badassery just does all the talking for me." Her eyebrow quirked and she looked up at Catty from her lazy pose. "Looking to see if the rumours are true, huh?"

Whaaat? Oh Jesus, these guys were hilarious. It looked like Harry was wrapped around Catty's little finger about 0.05 seconds in. Nice skills, she'd give her that.

Leaning back so she could look around Harry and Catty to catch Jaina's gaze, Lucy's eyebrows inched a little higher. "Kids these days, huh?"

[notthatharry]

Harry halfheartedly batted at Catty's hand, well aware of how hot his face felt. Oh yes, this was a great first impression he was making, way to wow the ladies with his dignity and composure. Still, he couldn't resist saying, "I think you're number two, right behind the lovely lady who blackmailed me into being here."

Hey, it was a party, he was just trying to fit in. Really.

If Harry had been in a more morbid mood, he might have pointed out he hadn't been a kid for a very long time, but luckily Catty's comments were distracting him from his usual depressing thoughts. Instead he just rolled his eyes.

[abovetwinsuns]

Jaina snorted, "They're a handful, that's for sure..." She looked over towards Catty and Harry, the smirk on her face growing, "But I don't think Harry quite minds being bothered that much."

She sighed, stretching her arms over her head and eying the butterbeers with more and more desire, "I think I'm going to grab a drink, anyone want one?"

[scroll_heir]

She grinned, batting her lashes at Lucy playfully. "Perhaps?"

"Number two? I can live with that." Even thought the other girls were talking about her and Harry, Catty couldn't help herself. He was cute, and they seemed to have quite a bit in common, which was alway nice.

"Hey, I'm only a year below the both of you and not that much younger. 'Kid' does not apply."

She leaned back, one foot planted on the floor to keep her propped up on the chair's arm. "I'm good, Jaina."

[chainedlotus]

“You mind grabbing something for me, Jaina?”

Ren had appeared through the crowd of people and arrived behind the little huddle of chairs with his usual grin and a small silver flask of something in his hand. The band had retired for a moment after the first few songs, which gave the group known as 'Currently Without Drummer' time to mingle before popular demand requested them to return to the stage. Ren had decided to bypass the crowd of dancers in the middle and make his way over to the back. He needed a moment with people.

[downwithdebs]

"Sure doesn't look that way." At the question she tipped back the rest of her drink -- don't worry, kids, she can hold it -- and wriggled the empty bottle between her fingers. "Sure thing, babe," she said easily, with a chilled out smile. It was nice being back at Hogwarts. Way better than freezing your ass off in Iceland, that was for sure.

"And it does apply, because you should respect Seventh years and all they say. Right, Honjo?"

[notthatharry]

Harry was suddenly intimately aware of what a gazelle felt like when it was surrounded by hungry lionesses.

Thought, he had to admit, it did feel kind of nice to flirt with Catty, even if he knew she was just playing around. He just wished the others hadn't been getting the wrong idea. Which they totally were. Honest.

"Being Surrounded by attractive clever women who could probably hex me into the next zip code? Why would I ever mind that? Well, I suppose if I didn't have a death wish..." Harry trailed off, trying to cover his blush with humor.

"No, I'm fine thanks, I have a feeling getting drunk in my current situation would not be the wisest decision I ever made," Harry replied with a laugh.

Grinning at Lucy "Ah, you'll have to forgive me Lucy, I got a failing grade at respecting my elders, but I'll try my best to get by on natural charm."

[abovetwinsuns]

Jaina had to chuckle at Harry. The boy was so out of his league with this, but he was a nice guy, "Really? You look like you could use a little liquid courage..." she offered, unable to stop herself from teasing him.

She then turned to Catty, "And you'll stop being called kid when you stop acting like one," she said, although her words were far less bitter than they usually were to Catty. Maybe Jim was right, the party was definitely doing wonders for her mood.

She absently grabbed Lucy's empty bottle, smiling as she did so before looking at the newcomer.

She nodded in greeting to Ren, "Sure, and the band sounds good tonight, by the way."

[scroll_heir]

Catty glanced at Ren as he popped up in the corner, giving him a small smile and a nod. "Band's great."

She laughed at Harry's embarassment, clearly amused by his increasingly-red face. She wondered if she should lay off a little, give him the chance to breathe. She didn't want to suffocate him... Or give Jaina more reason to abuse her.

She sighed at both Seventh years, her eyes especially twitching at Jaina's comment. "There is a difference between having fun sometimes and reverting back to a first year. I know the difference." Whoa, she was starting to sound sulky. Jaina was only being... Jaina.

[chainedlotus]

Waving a thanks to Jaina for going to get some more drinks Ren turned to face the rest of the rag tag group of students. “Respect from the youngers to the Seventh years, definitely,” Ren said with a nod and sitting down on an empty chair and waving the flask he held in Lucy's direction, “Because we all are unable to respect each other half the time, right Diamond?”

Receiving the compliments for the band, Ren just scratched the back of his head a bit, normally a gesture for someone embarrassed but, with him, it was hard to tell sometimes. “Yeah, thanks guys."

[downwithdebs]

A smirk tugged at her lips. "So things must be tough, huh?" she asked Harry, tone sarcastic. Her gaze flickered to Ren and she laughed quietly. "Heh. Yeah. Because we really have a lot to work with, between Psychos, Egotistical Morons and Emotional Cripples. That's a bank vault of no-joy."

"O--kay," Lucy said in comment to Catty, eyebrows raising a little. "It's just how Jaina is. Don't freak out or anything." Okay, maybe that was a little harsh. "We're all just here to have fun, right?" She flashed another smile. Lucy on a little booze was far more friendly than Lucy without. That is, unless she got pissed off. Then it was a disaster.

Looking over at Jaina, Lucy wondered if she should help with drinks... buuut she was kinda comfortable, so maybe not.

[notthatharry]

Smirking back, Harry replied, "Well, they are until I decide to I decide to just be an obnoxious pain in the ass. You've got to stick with what you're good at." He was beginning to get his equalibrium back now, and once he got used to having so many people around at once, he felt his old self returning.

"Well, I suppose you could see it as a bank vault of no-joy, or a comedy goldmine, depending on your point of view."

Leaning back, Harry gave Catty a little poke, and winking said, "Come on, you can't let our elders get you down, they're just trying to establish their maturity, so its more funny for us when they lose it later on. Really, it's very generous of them."

Leaning back, Harry shrugged and offered his hand to Ren. "Hey, nice to meet you, I'm Harry. Nice to have another guy around, with these ladies I feel like we need backup."
