"Dinthie! Baleva!" Lostiaiel called out when she reached the common room. Dinthondiel and Balevagorien were slumped in two big armchairs. They almost looked dead. It was late, so it was only the three of them in there.

"Well?" Lostiaiel asked. "How did it go?" she carried on tentatively, expecting a burst of anger. (A/N: Oh my god! She sounds like that parrot from Aladdin!)

"Twas hell Lossie." Baleva just managed to answer.

Lossie looked at the two sympathetically. "Really that bad?" She asked soothingly. "I had to shove a load of files into cabinets. Soooo interesting." She said sarcastically. She sighed. "Go on then, spill. What did Lucifer make you do?" She asked.

Dinthie giggled. Calling Snape Lucifer always seemed to crack her up. It would Baleva as well, but in the current circumstances, she was too angry.

"Well, that git had us doing all sorts. First we had to clean caldrons, and we weren't allowed to sit near each other and talk. Then the ugly big nosed sod made us recite poems!" Baleva wailed.

Lostiaiel snorted. "Poems?" She asked in disbelief. "Snape and poems?"

"Yes! Love poems! How embarrassing!" Dinthondiel joined in. "Ugh! I mean, can you imagine, love poems to professor Snape?" She said. "I think I'm gonna be sick." She said and clutched her stomach.

"But why?" Lostiaiel asked confused.

"Well, I think it was partly because of the thing Dinthie copied in class. And partly because he just wanted to embarrass us." Baleva continued after Dinthie, who now felt ill.

"But what did he say? 'Recite these poems'?" Lostiaiel asked.

"No, he said that we'd be doing some sort of love potion in class so we might as well learn it. What a load of rubbish." Balevagorien said.

"Awwww, don't worry! It's over now!" Lossie said reassuringly.

"If this gets out, and GOD! What if everyone finds out!?" Dinthondiel said now worried.

"They won't!" Lostiaiel said. "But anyway, listen. I've got something important to tell you!" She said excitedly.

Baleva and Dinthie looked at her. They didn't understand how she could be happy after the hell they'd been put through.

"Let's hear it then." Dinthondiel said.

"Well, when I was in my detention, filing, I decided to listen to the teachers, you know as you do." Lossie began.

Dinthondiel and Balevagorien smiled slightly. The three of them were very good at listening to other people subtly.

"And?" Baleva said looking better now.

"And I heard about a little thing they were planning for the students." She said grinning.

"Ooooh! What kind of 'thing' Los?" Dinthondiel said.

"Oh, just a little dance thing." Lostiaiel said causally.

Baleva and Dinthie laughed.

"This will be fun!" Baleva said. "Just think of the possibilities!" She said dreamily.

"Exactly." Lostiaiel said.

Dinthondiel nodded.

"And of course, a certain Iarethiriel will be going." Lostiaiel said grinning wickedly.

"Yes! And that idiot friend of hers." Dinthondiel said also smiling.

"But!" Lostiaiel said suddenly. Her two best friends looked at her. "We need someone to go with."

Dinthie and Baleva didn't look annoyed or disappointed by this news.

"We don't need to worry about that yet." Dinthie said.

"Yep, that's the easy part." Baleva agreed.

"Right, but that's all I heard. But if we're gonna have dates, maybe, and I say maybe because of the person we're talking about here! But maybe Iarethiriel will perhaps want one. Are we sensing a little Maegcair here?" Lostiaiel said her eyebrows raised, her eyes big and innocent.

Baleva and Dinthie looked excited. "I think we are sensing it Lossie m'dear." Baleva said.

"Good good." Lostiaiel said,

"Well, what a great opportunity for tricks." Dinthie said smiling. "Incidentally, Lossie, what was your idea before?"
