number five with a bullet

[Alice Prewett]

Teddyyyyy. I'm bored. Surely you're not as invested in this lesson as you appear to be. Your forehead will start to get wrinkles soon from the amount of concentrating you're doing, and we don't want anything to mess up that incredibly attractive face of yours, do you? So, what say you? Up for a little game or something to pass the time until your skin isn't in danger of early aging anymore?

Pretty please with a chocolate frog on top?

There's an exam on this tomorrow, Alice! It'd behoove you to pay attention.

[Alice Prewett]

Behoove. Ha. What a funny word. Okay, but Ted, it would behoove you to relax your brain a little before you fry it. I'll bet you're already done studying for this test and are all prepared. I know I am. C'mon, Ted, it's just a review class. It wouldn't kill you to take a break. You know I would be taking notes with the rest of them if I thought this class was important. Now, what game would you like to play?

[teddy]

How about the game where we stop passing notes and don't get in trouble? I'm Head Boy now, Alice, I can't just go against the rules like this––I enforce them half the time!

[Alice Prewett]

Oh, please, I've seen you pass notes plenty of times before. Is this because you're actually avoiding me? Gasp! Teddy, I'm hurt! I thought we were friends!

[teddy]

Don't be silly, Alice. I'm only giving you a hard time. Fine, let's play a game. How about catch-up, since it's been a while?
How have you been?

[Alice Prewett]

Oooh, yay catch-up! I love catch-up! Hmm, let's see. Lucy and I have biiig plans for the Yule ball. I've started writing in a diary journal. I can't wait for Christmas! Even though I don't have very many Christmas plans. Except, I'm thinking of throwing a party on New Year's Eve, so I guess that's a plan. And that's all I can really think of, things have been prettttty slow lately. And yourself?

[teddy]

A diary, eh? How feminine of you, Al. And I do hope your plans with Lucy are just as feminine and even less harmless than I'm envisioning. But then again, you and Lucy wouldn't be... well, you and Lucy, if there wasn't some kind of mischief planned during big occasions. Just promise me you'll be careful. And be careful about this party you're planning, too. You know how New Year's can get around here sometimes...

Oh, nothing much going on with me. Just the usual. It looks as though I'm going to be escorting Andromeda Black to the Yule Ball. Not sure how I feel about it.

[Alice Prewett]

O ye of little faith! Of course my plans with Lucy are completely feminine and harmless! Like they could be anything else. We're going to sprinkle confetti on people and smile and sing and be completely and utterly naive and innocent in our plans! You're such a papa bear, Theodore.

And what's "the usual"? C'mon, you gotta give me more than that. And really, Andromeda Black? I didn't think you two even really er liked each other? How did that happen?

[teddy]

And you're such a liar, Alice. What is it you two have up your sleeves?

It was a last minute sort of thing. We're just going as Heads out of convenience, really.

[Alice Prewett]

Do you really want to know? Like, really?

Ah. Well. Er. Have...fun?

[/color]

[teddy]

Try me.
It could be worse. We used to be friends, after all.

[Alice Prewett]

Nu-uh. No way Jose. You have to wait like the rest of your peers.

Well colour me surprised! Why did I not know this? Or did I just forget? I forget a lot.

[/color]

[teddy]

Just be careful, Al.

She, Rita, and I were close up until around fourth year.

[Alice Prewett]

You know I always am, Teddy.

Ahhh. That's...not weird at all. Annie and Rita as friends? Wow. How're things with you and Rita, by the way?
