Hufflepuff Common Room

Kelsi's face grew red. "Yes, so? It just bugs me, even though we kissed, it's still awkward around him. EVEN IN LETTERS!" Kelsi did an annoyed arm flail, but ended up hitting her elbow. "Owww."

Mathew krept up behind Nicolas, got into a pouncing pose, and lept onto his back. "HI!"

"Well, Max and I don't talk much, and it's not awkward around him. Trust me, when you two see each other, you'll be able to talk. And don't give me any of that 'But he's like older than me!' because I'm sure it'll be fine."

Nicolas doubled over, but straightened back up, and read, like nothing was happening. Maybe if he just ignored Matt, he'd go away...

"I can't wait for Christmas. But, yeah, I hope it'll be easier to talk to him next time." Kelsi sighed.

"I can't wait, either. You staying here or going home for the holidays?"

"I'm going home. What about you?"

"I'm not sure yet."

"Hmm... Hey, Libby, what do you mean by you and Max not talking much together anymore?"

"Uhm, we just kinda... don't talk..." And I think the last time we lip-kissed was back when we got our braces stuck, dammit!

Kelsi tilted her head back, leaning against the chair and winked at Libby. "Well, then get your man back!"

"Why aren't you talking to me?" said Matt, who was still barely hanging onto his back.

Amanda walked in, her nose red, her cheeks red, and her cloak now wrapped tightly around her body. "Flip. I'm sick."

Kelsi leaned over Libby's shoulder, and laughed. "You are."

Amanda waddled over to the fire, and took a seat by it which would be Amy's Olivia's seat if this were the common room of the Slytherins.

Kelsi leaned over Amanda's seat. Her dark hair tickled Amanda's face. "You know, some hot tea, a warmer sweater, and a nap would help you. Or you could go to the Hospital wing. I used to get sick all the time in my younger years here."

Amanda smiled and replied, "Thanks for the suggestion. But i's a tiny cold, I think I picked it up from some kid I sit next to in one of my classes. But either way, I might get some tea before bed tonight."

"Make sure you add a sugar cube in it. It'll taste even better."

Amanda smiled again, "Tank-ya!"

Kelsi raised an eyebrow. "Hah, you're congeste- te- OH MY GOD GET AWAY FROM ME!!" Kelsi stumbled backwards. Clearly she just remembered that it was Friday 13th.

"Nuuuuuu."

"I'm a gonna go get tea." And so, Amanda left for a bit.

Nicolas continued to ignore Matt.

Libby stood up, sighed, and went up to the dorm.

"Hey, Libby. You zoned out." Kelsi scrambled to get all the letters, and followed her friend.

"Oh. I was just thinking about... stuff."

"Like?" Kelsi snaked her way next to Libby, and the two entered the dorm.
