Kill the Lights [Open]

[Antoinette Walker]

*Blinks. Lies.*

No, it's not Potions.

*Shrugs, now answering truthfully.*

I'm not terrible at Potions, I just really hate the subject. Salazar was also the worst of the founders, also obvious.

[Ashton Storme]

Sure, whatever you say. *Is in his Potions World.* I heard you didn't get your Potions Book yet. Is that true?

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Traipses into the Library, surprised to see Antoinette, and rushes happily over to her house mate.*

*Beams to her friend as she approaches the table, slowing suddenly upon taking notice of a Slytherin boy, the one from her Flying lessons, sitting and talking to Nettie. Her stroll halts to a stop as she watches with confusion to the scene before her.*

*Thinks*

Merlin's Beard, she's gone mad...

*Is instantly relieved as she catches a bit of the words passing between the two, and she shakes her head, scolding herself for thinking her friend might actually be enjoying the Slytherin's company.*

*Whispers loudly, and hoarsely.*

OI! Walker!

*Walks right past the Slytherin with a vanilla scented breeze following her, and dumps her bag on the table right next to him.*

Brilliant, I wanted to talk to you.

[Antoinette Walker]

*Blinks at Storme in confusion.*

Merlin, why are you-

*Is interrupted by someone's school bag being dumped on the table and a hoarse voice. She looks up and sees her housemate, smiles. *

Olivia! How're you, mate?

*Nods, almost completely forgetting about the wizard at the table- until he opens his mouth of course- and asks.*

What're you wanting?

[Ashton Storme]

*Smells the air, and shakes his head to clear the smell.* Ugh... Who wore the disgusting smelling perfume? *Looks up, seeing the older Gryffindor. Bloody brilliant, truly. He wanted to study, and with these peculiar... creatures he wasn't going to.*

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*The Slytherin's words float to her ears, and she quickly rounds on him.*

I happen to be the one wearing the disgusting oil, not perfume. And, you might wanna shut your cake hole before I start docking Slytherin points for your cheek.

*Eyes harden, she isn't playing with him. She'd relish in the delight of taking points away from any Slytherin.*

Right. So-

*Spins around quickly, facing Nettie excitedly.*

We have to talk about the Hogsmeade Weekend.

*Gives her a pointed look, her back to Ashton.*

[Ashton Storme]

Oil. Worse. *Sighs as he flips his Potions Book, then slams it shut.* Can't handle it. Before you deduct any points from Slytherin, m'Lady, I beg of you, threatening a Student of it isn't a right action to do.

Good evening, then, m'Ladies, and have a truly magical night. *Leaves the Book by Antoinette and winks.* Destroying it might be the first thought, but I'd leave it if I were you.

*Walks out.*

[Antoinette Walker]

* and shrugs at Olivia's look, before paling at the sight of Ashton winking at her.*

What the-

*Points her wand to the book on the table.*

-Wingardium Leviosa!

*Sends the book flying to its correct shelf, not wanting Olivia- her friend and Head Girl- to know she had an essay to finish. She looks back to the said Gryffindor and smiles cheesily.*

Hogsmeade Weekend, yes? What were you saying?

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Nods at her, giving her a look that says I-can't-believe-you-can't-remember, and mouths the words, sneaking out.*

*Pulls out the chair in front of her, and plops down on it, blowing a strand of white blonde hair away.*

*Whispers.*

Are we still going to?

[Antoinette Walker]

*Blinks once, twice, three times as the question slowly sinks into her mind. Her mouth opens, forming an 'O' of comprehension before leaning forward. Also whispers.*

But, I thought you had-

*Lifts both hands, cheekily using air quotes to emphasize her disbelief.*

-other things to do instead?

*She can't help but smile though, because the thought of sneaking out, especially with the Head Girl, is possibly the best adrenaline rush she's had for a while now. Thinks.*

_{Blimey...would she really?}

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Pokes out her tongue at Antoinette's mocking, crossing her arms seriously over her chest. She may be Head Girl, but it's about time to burn off some excess energy, and get the hell out of this old castle. The walls are slowly beginning to feel as though they're closing in around her.*

*Keeping her voice low, her icy eye have a burning look of determination.*

Sometimes it's good to play before work.

[Antoinette Walker]

*Grins wickedly at her friend's response. This is possibly going to be the highlight of this term unfortunately, which is why she feels like they should make the best of it.*

You realize you're going to be breaking almost 15 school rules, right?

*Twirls her wand in her right hand, slowly and carefully enough that she doesn't drop it onto the floor.*

Forget the rules though, I can't wait!

*Is now smiling brightly, eyes wide with excitement. Something also tells her that it's not going to be anything like the usual Hogsmeade visits, sneaking out or not.*

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Grins, nodding, quickly growing excited with just the idea of sneaking out. She knows if they get caught she's going to loose her Head Girl-ship, and probably spend the rest of term in detention, but she has a feeling that sneaking out will be worth any of the consequences.*

The less you mention the rules the less likely I am to loose my nerve, so can it, Nettie.

*Olivia's tone is playful though she means it. As serious as she takes being Head Girl, Antoinette should know that Olivia just might back out at the last second.*

[Antoinette Walker]

*Nods, mockingly pulling her fingers across her lips from one side to the other as if she's zipping them shut.*

Canned.

*Forgetting about whatever assignments she still has to do, she grins at Olivia before turning to leave the library and go back to the Common Room. However far away the Hogsmeade weekend is, she wants to make sure that she has everything ready before hand so there's no last minute rushing around.*
