Don't Dance (Blair)

[LINA ROSLIN KALKUSKOV]

If there was one thing Lina didn't like about Hogwarts more than anything else, it was the fact that her muggle things wouldn't work here. Like her music players. She'd just about kill for some of the music she had back home tucked carefully under a floorboard where her mother wouldn't find it. The red head would down right kill for that sort of thing, and she was honestly missing it more than anything else about her home life. Everything else could go and die in a fire. Alright, maybe not her siblings, but everything else about home. Mostly her mother.

She was sitting in the common room, looking out the glass at the lake. She liked that bit, the glass and the lake in the dungeon. It was colder down here which she didn't like, but here she was none the less. There were a few others in the common room, and she sat in one of the over stuffed chairs with her feet propped up in another. She didn't even care if someone else was looking for a spot to sit at, the red head was already here. She even had somehow gotten a Quaffle into the common room and was lightly tossing it in the air. Her homework was strewn on the ground around her chair along with her bag and books. Not really giving a damn if anyone didn't like the ball, what she was doing, or the mess she was causing. Lina just didn't care.

She missed her music, and more so, she didn't want to be doing homework. Thus the girl was tossing the Quaffle around a bit in the air. Humming to herself, wondering what she was going to do for the summer. At least on the days that her mother even let her out of the house. She'd be seventeen soon. One more summer to put up with the whole soddening mess, and then she'd be free. Free to sign up to the Harpies and be the best damned flyer they ever saw. That new Keeper was a good one though, so Lina doubted she'd be able to shine as a Keeper there. She was good as a Beater too, so she'd just have to try that route. She smirked slightly, and tossed the ball at the glass that showed the lake. It was unbreakable, she had determined that over the years, and the ball made a loud noise against the glass before bouncing back at her. Would the giant squid come see? The idea was interesting to her, so she did it again and again, wondering what kind of underwater life she could attract by doing so.

[BLAIR KENNA AVERY]

Things had been beyond tension filled lately between all of the Avery children and Blair felt somewhat stuck in the middle. Even though she was the baby, and therefore she shouldn’t even have to deal with anything else. Still she tried to push all the thoughts away as she focused on her potions assignment but of course her thoughts were winning out. She had been sitting in the common room, which was luckily quiet, for the better part of the morning but she was just growing more and more irritated. Now Blair loved potions, especially when it came to the possibility of outdoing everyone else in her year, but she was just having issues concentrating which was not something she considered to be normal. She wasn’t even really focused on the other people in the common room, she had been tuning them out most of the morning, but of course given her current feelings she was becoming increasingly aware of those surrounding her. She really needed to be able to focus on the assignment so that she could leave the common room and maybe take a walk outside before the weather started to get too bad. Some fresh air would do her well, but she had of course resolved to not leave the common room until her essay was finished.

There were the typical people around, a few of the more well-known slytherins whom she was on speaking terms with but no one she could truly say she wanted to speak to. Did that thought make her a tad snobbish? Perhaps but it wasn’t like she really gave much of a care. That’s when she spotted the other red headed girl, Blair knew who she was, and right now as she watched her throw a quaffle up and down, but Blair didn’t decide to say anything. As long as that quaffle stayed going up and down, everything would be fine because it made no real noise. And if it did make any noise she would just continue to block it out. With that in mind she settled back into her potions essay, that is until she heard a rather large noise of something hitting one of the windows which threw her off her concentration. She settled the quill back down with a huff as her gaze left the parchment and searched the room for the offending noise. She spotted it then, the stupid quaffle hitting the glass again, and again and again. Really who in their right mind would throw a quaffle at a window, especially when there were other people in the room obviously trying to do their assignments. The fact that she kept on doing over and over again was an indication that she was doing it to be irritating, which was only proving to irritate Blair even further. She was tempted to reach for her wand and summon that stupid ball or maybe disintegrate it, anything to make it go away.

“Excuse me, would you mind stopping your irritating ruckus?” he said loudly, “It’s very loud and distracting. And unless you haven’t noticed some of us are doing homework”

She had been lost in her own thoughts, continuing to toss the ball at the window while thinking on... well, just about everything she could. Not about homework or her mother, but her family, her dreams, and everything else that could be considered important to the red head. However, she was brought out of her thoughts when someone snarky spoke up to her. Catching the quaffle with ease, Lina turned her light blue-green eyes towards the sound of the voice to see who in the world was deciding to speak up against her. A smirk appeared on her lips as she saw one of the younger students looking at her so pointedly. Apparently waiting for some kind of answer.

Lina turned in her seat so that her feet were no longer propped up in the other chair. Her head tilted slightly, one eyebrow arching above the other as she stared at the younger Slytherin. "If you wanted quiet kiddo, you should have gone to the library. It's a good place to do homework, I promise. You'll even find other frustratingly smart stuffy types like yourself to do homework with, I'm sure." Just assuming things of course, but that was Lina, never one to hold back on what she was saying just because she was saying it. The grin that appeared on her lips was a cocky one. She was irritating the younger girl that much, eh?

The ball shot out again, smacking against the glass of the window and then back into Lina's hands. Almost all the Quidditch balls were spelled against magic to keep games fair. Most of the things the kid could throw at it wouldn't work, and the older red head knew that. Still, she was grinning like the cat that got into the cream, even as she continued to be a bit of an ass. "Common room means people come together and all chill here. I have just as much right to be here singing if I felt like it just as much as you have to do your homework here. You want silence, bugger off somewhere else." A snicker escaped her and she bounced the ball again, enjoying this little moment.
