Pureblood Single

Nell smiled tentatively as Marina approached before fiddling with the hem of her uniform skirt. "Everythin's fine! Really, that's umm...kinda why I wanted to talk to you. I umm....I'm dating someone!" The Hufflepuff's eyes widened as she just blurted it out. It wasn't supposed to sound like that!

Pureblood Single

Nell nervously smiled back, so far so good, and now for the kicker... "Erm....Rose Hall. S-she's in Hufflepuff with me and Ada remember?" she twiddled her thumbs waiting for her friend's reaction.

Nell's eyes practically bugged out of their sockets as Marina continued smiling and even gave her a hug! She had actually called it! And when her friend sat onto the ground the Scot flopped down next to her, still slightly in shock, but with a wide brilliant grin on her face as she began her tale. "Alright alright hold your knickers! It kinda began the night after I had that small breakdown after DADA, she came to my bed and wanted to know what was wrong. So I explained to her what had happened during the summer and she hugged me and then well....we kissed. Afterwards she apologized and then I felt bad because I well erm... I thought I wasn't a good kisser being my first one and all. So we avoided one another and acted a bit awkward in classes for a few weeks until she found me over at the Clock Tower Courtyard and was rather blunt about our avoidance. So..I maybe got made and yelled at her for backing off and making me feel worthless and then she got mad and complimented me and then one thing led to another and we kissed again. After that we talked it out and I-I asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes. So...yea, that's about it. And no I haven't gotten the chance to tell Ada yet Mum." Nell grinned and rolled her eyes mockingly at her Slytherin friend.

Nell just rolled her eyes again but chuckled along with her friend as she mentioned how silly they were getting worked up over a kiss. Well in defense, at the time it didn't seem like just 'a little kiss'." the Hufflepuff actually used air quotes. Her eyes widened when Marina spoke of getting a boyfriend and her smile took on a sly mentality while her eyes sparkled with mischief. "A boyfriend hmm? It wouldn't be a certain Slytherin boy we sat with at the beginning of the year in the carriages? A boy who's name happens to be spelled D-A-M..." she began to spell out Damien's name in an almost sing-song quality.

Nell's smirk turned into a full blown laugh as Marina attempted to both shut her up and turned as bright as her hair. When her breathing was finally under control and tears wiped from her eyes she merely gave her the "Are you serious or just plain dumb" look. "I'm sure first year that would've been the case, but I've heard that its mostly his Mother that's the pureblood fanatic not the Father so you've got a pretty solid chance. I mean, of course, that's after admitting you like him. Because there's another bet and consensus that you and Dominic happen to like each other." the short Scot knew her friend would blow a gasket over that piece of information, she had hated the black-haired Slytherin since day one. When her friend laid on the floor bemoaning boys in general Nell just giggled again and pat the hand not over her eye mockingly affectionate. "There there, what's the point of female adolescence if you don't have boy troubles."

Nell shrugged as Marina admitted to Damian being confusing. "He's a pureblood adolescent who's entire socially constructed world might be torn down as well as dealing with a rising swarm of hormones the likes of which he's never seen. To be honest...that could describe a lot of boys here!" the girl said with a chuckle. Her chuckles were soon outrageous giggles as her friend raged-as she thought she would-over the rumor mill about her and Dom. However the Hufflepuff froze when she heard her words. A bludger? They had a ruddy bludger incident?! "He hit a bludger at you?! Are you ok? Did you go to the Hospital Wing? And why am I the last to know?!" the agitated 'Puff blurted. When the Slytherin asked why her feelings were the talk of the school Nell merely shrugged again. "They're so busy dealing with their own drama that they like hearing about others? Don't worry, I bet the rumor will blow down once the Gryffindor love triangle gets out." While she never liked to truly gossip (as in, speaking rumors and half-truths about people she barely knew) that particular piece of information she had heard and seen herself. Well...not the seen but definitely the heard!

Nell glared softly at her friend at her mocking tone before doing the mature thing and sticking her tongue at Marina. When she finally answered her questions of the bludger incident she had to admit it would be a bit...odd if she went to the Hospital Wing and told Dom's mother what happened. Two scenarios would happen and neither were very pretty. She snapped out of her morbid thoughts and just nodded at her friend's thoughts of the love triangle thinking back to how wistful Remy had looked when she mentioned their kiss. Nell finally looked up when the Slytherin stood saying she was going to take a nap and only grinned shaking her head. Anything to do with actual feelings and the poor girl was drained! As she stood from her own sitting position she heard Marina's threat and "joke" and her cheeks turned pink before she spluttered out, "Marina! Not funny Marina!". However it took all she had not to chuckle again at her friends reminder of her crush. With the way things were going....she'd give it to the end of fourth year. If they weren't together by fifth she would give them both a push...into the ruddy lake.
