-Ita'istar-
"Hey, you guys. Wait up" Ita called to his friends after he'd dropped off Saira"Took her to the South wall already" Aranel asked with a tone of uncaring.
"Yeah. I ran to catch up with you guys"
"That was so sweet how you were teaching her how to open the water wall." Liz mocked
"Shut up." He said. "Hey, do you think I should ask her to the Yule Ball?"
"Knock yourself out" Isilwen said with equal uncaring as Aranel.
"I'd do it quick if I were you" Liz recommended but not sincerely
"Why's that?" he asked
"Well, you're not the only one goggling at her. Haven't you noticed Harry and Ron? Oh no, you wouldn't because you can't come out of the cave you live in." Liz teased. "Anyway, I was talking to some Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs too. Apparently even Cedric Diggory has noticed the new girl too."
"You're kidding. She's only been here for like two or three days"
"Not even" Isilwen stated.
"Well, our dorm is this way" Aranel said almost eager to go. "Namaarie'
Isilwen and Aranel went down the left corridor while Liz and Ita'istar went right. No one spoke until they reached the fat lady.
"I don't think you should ask Saira to the ball" Liz finally said out of the blue.
"Why?"
"Well, just because you like someone, doesn't mean that someone else doesn't like you"
"I don't follow"
"Aranel has liked you since our first year here" Liz said bluntly.
"What?" he laughed. "You must be joking"
"Do you notice anything? You're an elf. We are supposed to have superior eyesight or did that gene skip your generation?"
"Aranel? Really? Wow, she's my best friend"
"She wishes it was more" Liz said angrily. "Gold lion"
She stormed into the common room and headed for the stairs.
"Wait! Wait!" he yelled following her inside. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back before she got to far up the stairs. "How do you know this?"
"People tend to come to me when they need someone to confide in and I have other special abilities. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to bed but I want you to know that if you do ask Saira, you'll break Aranel's heart" Liz ran upstairs before Ita'istar could catch her or say anything.
"Liz?" but she ignored him
"Well, Aranel will understand. Nothing could ever happen between us." He told himself aloud to add to his self-assurance. He then lied down on the couch and quickly fell asleep.
