A/N: Longest real chapter so far, 1,815 words not counting the A/N's.

Thanks you guys for the reviews, they're the reason I got this chapter out so quick. :) That being said, pieces of my extremely delicious birthday cake go to xSweetAshesx, Haruki Riku, Nightraze, Pienky, Starfire54, and xLinzx.

I'm almost done with the next chapter. C:

So how about this, you guys. As soon as a receive ten reviews, I'll post the new chapter. It sounds mean and selfish and I'm sorry, but you really have no idea how good reviews make me feel. They seriously make my day and make writing really worth while.

Starfire54: I'm glad I managed to make your day. C: You saying that really made my day, so thank you. This chapter is dedicated to you for that reason and for you being such a great reviewer.

Disclaimer: still owning nothing.


Emerald Ice Storm:

So... Why did you change your name?

She hummed softly, leaning against a pillar in the courtyard, her knees propped up with her H.I.N.T.S. book in her lap. Classes had been good so far today and currently she had a free period.

Incandescence:

I dunno, Golden Night's Dream was so long. I mean, yeah I like the night and stuff, but I really like the word incandescence better.

Emerald Ice Storm:

You do know it's only 3 letters shorter, right?

Incandescence:

... Don't hate. It's shorter than yours, anyways. :P

Emerald Ice Storm:

... Touche. Kinda makes me want to change my own name.

Incandescence:

Haha you should. :D

Emerald Ice Storm:

Dunno what to change it to though. Um... Elimination? Discharged? Transmission? Deviation?

Incandescence:

I like that one. :]

Emerald Ice Storm:

Deviation?

Incandescence:

Indeed.

Deviation:

There.

Incandescence:

Cool.

A slightly awkward silence passes as she wrote, not knowing what else to say. She yawned, extremely tired due to last night. Even though she was quite exhausted, she was pleased with last night's conversation. Thank Merlin it was Friday. A few more awkward minutes passed before his text slithered onto the page.

Deviation:

So.

Incandescence:

So.

Deviation:

So.

Incandescence:

So...?

Deviation:

So about what you said last night.

That caught her interest and she sat up straighter.

Incandescence:

Yes?

It took a moment for him to reply.

Deviation:

What you said. I decided to give it a try. Thinking for myself.

Incandescence:

Good! Getting a broader view of the world is excellent. You'll meet tons of great-

Deviation:

Hey, I said I'd give it a try, not that I'd become a mud- a muggleborn lover. I still hate them, but I'll give them a chance, I suppose, and stop being a prat. I thought alot about it last night and I see what you're saying. So I'll give it a try. But I make no promises.

Incandescence:

I couldn't ask for anything more. :D

She grinned victoriously, leaning back into the pillar and taking a moment to enjoy the outdoors. She was glad that he had taken her words (maybe) to heart and would attempt to change his outlook. Not wanting to pressure him or anything, she decided to change the subject.

Incandescence:

So I think it's safe to say you're not a Gryffindor.

Deviation:

What?

Incandescence:

You're not a Gryffindor. Am I right?

Deviation:

Not so lucky guess. Thank Merlin I'm not in Gryffindor.

Incandescence:

What's wrong with Gryffindor?

Deviation:

I have my reasons.

She didn't press the subject. She had only just gotten him to try and be more accepting to muggles and muggleborns, she didn't want to stress over another sour topic with him. Instead she continued on her previous note.

Incandescence:

So you're not in Gryffindor, and you're male, and-

Deviation:

Yes, I do indeed have a dick. I have quite a few women to vouch for me, if you don't believe me.

Incandescence:

No need to be crude. {_{

Deviation:

Ha, so you're a prude?

Incandescence:

Am not!

Her cheeks flushed in indignation, but she grinned to herself. His tone was light and teasing, not as dark and gloomy as she was used to. She found that it was rather entertaining to joke around with him.

Incandescence:

Anyways, you're male-

Deviation:

Yes, I believe we've established this-

Incandescence:

And you're in seventh year.

Deviation:

Obviously-

Incandescence:

So let's see... I don't think you're a Hufflepuff-

Deviation:

If I was, I'd've Avada'd myself a long time ago-

Incandescence:

So that leaves either Slytherin or Raenclaw.

Deviation:

The question is which, now isn't it?

Incandescence:

You say you like flying, and I'm willing to bet that you probably have some talent for it, so maybe you're on the Quidditch team-

Deviation:

I dunno, am I?

Incandescence:

You're also somewhat intelligent-

Deviation:

Somewhat!?

Incandescence:

And a pureblood.

Deviation:

Damn straight.

Incandescence:

So that eliminates a fair few.

Deviation:

Care to warrant any guess?

Incandescence:

Eh... no, I think I'll keep on piecing together the clues until I'm one-hundred percent positive of who you are. :]

Deviation:

Good luck with that. But since you've been piecing things together, I only think it's fair that I have a go.

Incandescence:

... I suppose.

Deviation:

So it's safe to say you're not in Slytherin.

Incandescence:

Isn't that obvious?

Deviation:

I don't know any 7th year female Slytherins as muggle-loving as you.

Incandescence:

I'm choosing to take that as a compliment.

Deviation:

You don't write like a complete idiot, so I'm also assuming that you're semi-intelligent. You're a prude-

Incandescence:

I am not a prude!!!

Deviation:

-And you have classes first hour on Fridays. Not much to go on, but it illimates a few of our classmates.

Incandescence:

Bwahaha goodluck. xD

Deviation:

I could say the same to you.

Incandescence:

Let the competition begin. }]


A/N: Hope you guys liked it, quite a bit more dialogue between the two. C: Hope you also don't mind the name changes, I started this story two (wow, such a long time ago...) years ago, and those old names just seriously... fail.

REMEMBER! Ten reviews = new chapter. The sooner there's ten, the sooner the next chapter comes out. ;D

Again, sorry for spelling or grammar.

And if you review, you won't only get a new chapter! Oh no, if you review you'll get a delectable sugar cookie my mother made for her job. C:
