AT the fat lady's portrait.

Tanner laughed.
"Yep, I think I did them too observably. Wanna go before the hallways get too crowded?" he asked as he stuck out his arm for her to hold.

"Suurrreee.. Oh and here!" Noticing a small little pocket in his tuxedo, Amanda tucked in her pretty silver rose in it. "I'm all ready now."

Tanner grinned. He pulled out a small ring with a metal rose on it and placed it on Amanda's index finger.
"Those flower wrist things are crappy, so I got you this instead." He then took her hand and lead her down the hall off to the Great Hall. <3

Amanda smiled "Thanks..." Allowing herswlf to be pulled off as she stared in awe at the ring. I was right-- so it's a ring with a flower... but it's metal and creative ... So cute !!

Serenity ran up to the door, changed into dress number four,a metallic blue open backed dress,, panting, and said.. "Fairy Lights, please."

"Lairy fights... lairy fights..." said the portrait. She swung open.

Serenity jumped in, looking around like a tourist, wishing she had a camera to take pictures with. She stopped in front of the fire, looking at the Gryffindor Hangings, then turned around because she remembered she was on a mission.

A short first year girl walked down, yawning. She had short brown hair and red and black small glasses. Her eyes were wide and brown and she had tons of freckles. Her brown eyes locked on Serenity. "Why are you here--?"

"Because I can be. Your a munchkin, you wouldn't understand a crush. Now, shoo, I have a Christmas Present to give." Serenity looked much taller in silver heels, and she nearly ran up the stairs, clutching her present frantically.

The girl watched Serenity go up, then sighed. Why did being so short suck so much?

dotdotdot...

Bwahahha the first year plopped down, waiting for that girl to appear again.

Serenity ran around a corner, panting. She wasn't made for running, or any exercise, really. She slumped down on the wall, groaning loudly. With all this stupid running, she felt like she was going to throw up flames.

The Fat Lady was singing. Opera.

Serenity glared at the fat lady. "LISTEN, YOU BIG FAT PIG! UNLESS YOU LET ME IN RIGHT NOW, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL TAKE A LIGHTER AND BURN YOUR PORTRAIT! DO YOU WANT THAT?! OPEN UP!"

"Merciful heavens!" she exclaimed. She disappeared out of the portrait.

"DO YOU WANT ME TO START CUSSING AT YOU!? LISTEN, LADY, I NEED TO GET IN THERE, AND IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GONNA BOMB THE PLACE, SO LET ME IN!"
Serenity kicked the portrait angrily.

She didn't return.

Serenity crossed her arms, sitting down.
"Please come back? This is a matter of LIFE OR DEATH."

Alas, still no return.

Serenity sighed, lying down in front of the portrait and looking at the floor.

Serenity stood up, screaming and yelling, banging on the portrait and the walls. "PLEASE, OPEN UP! EMERGENCY!"

The portrait swung open. "Oi. Rosensteel?" said Charlie.

"Charlie! Thank you!" Serenity hugged him gratefully, running through the door and to the dorm room.

"He's not--" Charlie sighed and walked onward.
