Chapter 1: Talking Complete Crap Makes for (Somewhat) Good Witty Remarks
…
The first Banter Battle of the series ever. Inspired by the song "Baat Meri Suniye To Zara" from the Bollywood movie Kuch Na Kaho with Abishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Anyway, B.B.'s kick butt.
…
As Elle walked through the magnificent Hogwarts castle, she did a double take.
In the hall, there were girls on one side and boys on another. Each group seemed to be crowded around a center point.
"What is going on here?" Elle asked as she moved in to find the center of the female crowd.
"Phil just broke up with Cassidy. He said she was vain and arrogant and- what are you wearing?!" Lily exclaimed.
Elle ignored the question and looked across the hall.
She could see Phil in the center of the male mob, hands clapping him on the back in an approving manner.
She viewed Cass.
She was in tears, the girls trying to comfort her.
"Hey!" yelled one of the boys, stepping out of the male crowd and into the middle of the hall: no-man's land.
Ugh, Sirius Black.
"Can anyone tell me why you ladies are so arrogant?!" he called out. He looked at the boys, met with cheers of approval.
Cass was in break down mode.
Half of the girls tried to comfort her and the other half yelled at Sirius.
Elle, rolling her eyes, walked forward towards Black.
The girls parted way for her.
The boys stared at her, practically drooling.
She was wearing a black shirt that cut off at below her bust and was tied in the back with a single string. Her skirt was about three inches below her belly button, extenuating her hips and narrowing her torso. The black material was light and as she walked, it swept about her feet. Her midnight hair was in a ponytail, only a few strands falling loose in her face.
Elle stood in front of the overly confident Black who believed that nobody could defeat him and his sly comments.
"You're going to tell me why you girls are so arrogant?" he asked, a smirk on his face.
"Mr. Black!" exclaimed Dumbledore in surprise, coming from one side of the hall to see what the commotion was.
Elle looked straight into his eyes, matching his fire and determination to beat the other. Her hands were on her hips.
"Why shouldn't we be arrogant when we can have the world at our feet?" Elle asked, lifting her skirt up slightly and lifting her foot up, toe pointing straight.
"Miss Camberlin!" cried McGonagall in shock, coming up next to Dumbledore who was now wearing an amused expression on his face.
This was met with "ooo's" and "she got you!"
"You missed the point," at this, Elle scoffed, "but never mind. Why are you all so vain?"
"Mr. Black!" McGonagall screeched, ready to charge into this battle of the wits.
Dumbledore held her back, "Let this play out. I would enjoy seeing the outcome immensely".
McGonagall stared at Dumbledore.
He was staring at Black and Camberlin, eyes sparkling with interest, a highly amused expression on his face.
She sighed.
"Why shouldn't we be vain when our lips are like rosebuds, when our skin is soft as petals, and when our hair is like a mysterious veil of the night?" Elle asked back, casting a hand across her face as if showing a mask.
They walked around each other, neither looking away.
"Ah, but it is we who compare your lips," Sirius said, lifting her chin with a finger, "to rosebuds, your smooth skin to petals, your hair to the mystery of the night."
Sirius smirked, sure that he got her as she stared defiantly into his eyes.
They stopped walking.
Elle crossed her arms.
"Surely our beauty has cast a spell upon you".
Sirius scoffed, but Elle wasn't finished, "Why else would you talk such crap?"
His mouth dropped open.
It was silent for a moment.
"What? Speechless?" she asked innocently.
Her hands were on her hips.
He just stared at her.
She leaned in like some seductress.
"It's okay. I get that a lot," Elle said softly.
Her voice was warm but sharp, triumphant and somehow temptingly seductive.
She turned and started walking down the hall away from the two gender segregated groups and her two teachers, an air of calm triumph around her.
Behind her, she heard the girls exclaiming, "Oooo, BURN!"
Right then…This chapter isn't the best, so I PROMISE that the story will get better. Please review or something…it would be very helpful =]
