The three ate their meal in peace except for the occasional student
congratulating Shini. They then went to the common room to get some sleep.
They had a double Potions class tomorrow morning. That was the day Shini
and Alice had agreed to break out the 'new clothes'. It was going to be
great.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So the morning came, it was only a week or two before Christmas (just FYI), and Shini and Alice got up early to take showers, as they do everyday (except for Sundays when they sleep in as late as possible).
After showering, they sprayed body-splash on and insta-spell-dried their hair to the way they wanted it. Alice went for the sleek-straight-sexy sistah look, while Shini became a curled-caramel-cutie chick. They looked damn good, and with short dark green velvet skirts and low cut white collared shirts, they looked even better.
They decided their 'big bang' would be in class, not at breakfast, so they got in the Great Hall before anyone they knew got there.
Breakfast was quiet, real quiet. Except for the chatter-boxes, nobody talked. Alice and Shini talked a bit to Flint, but he was really tired.
Finally, Potions was upon the fourth year Slytherins and Gryffindors. Just as Professor Snape turned at his desk to speak to the class, the two separate doors at each end of the room busted open and Alice and Shini strutted in, utterly synchronized. Guys' (and girls') jaws dropped. Their entrance, perfect; their looks, perfect; and the reaction.
Shini and Alice sat at the front bench, in front of everyone. "Perfection," Shini muttered under her breath. They both smiled.
"Sorry for the interruption, sir." Alice and Shini said in unison. Alice got a good hair toss in as she spoke and Shini's curls bounced when she moved her head.
"Yes." Snape muttered. "Well-
Suddenly there came a huge crash from the back of the room. Oliver Wood, a Gryffindor fourth year, plummeted to the floor. He had started to lean sideways when Alice had walked down the isle to see, but he had forgotten to stop going down and, in turn, lost his balance.
"Mr. Wood, Snape snapped, glad for an interruption he could take point for, "ten points from Gryffindor!"
Snape began class while Oliver scrambled back into his seat. Oliver got asked several questions during Potions, so Snape could degrade Gryffindor. At the same time, Snape allowed Shini the opportunity to receive 15 points for Slytherin in correct answers (Alice got 10 points also).
"Alright, class is over. Your papers are due next class time. Leave." Snape mumbled off to his corridor.
Alice and Shini instantly got up and started chatting. They weren't talking about. the plan. but they were laughing about it without words.
People started walking out of the room slowly and the two girls walked out behind them. Oliver Wood was still sitting at his seat, his head in his hands. Shini and Alice both sat in the row in front of him and turned their chairs around to face Wood.
"Graceful fall, ai?" Shini commented with a smile. Oliver head popped up. He looked petrified! His mouth opened but no words came out.
Shini ran a finger up his forearm, "Just get a tutor. Come on, Alice."
The two girls walked out of the room. Oliver's eyes followed them all the way out, then he walked himself to the Great Hall.
Lunch didn't start for about another half an hour, so he just sat at the Gryffindor table. He opened a book, but he sure as hell wasn't reading it. Someone sat beside him without Oliver noticing.
"You must be the slowest reader! You aren't turning the page!" the boy squeaked. Oliver flung his head around and almost fell backwards.
"Ow!" Oliver whispered as he heard his neck crack loudly. "What the hell, Carmon!"
"I got your info." Carmon said, ignoring Oliver.
"Jesus, Carmon, your eye is frickin' black." Oliver laughed. Carmon clamped a hand over his eye and went on.
"Do you want the information or not 'cause I could just leave and-"
"No, I want it! Tell me." Oliver grabbed Carmon's arm as he started to leave and yanked the boy to face him. He held back a chuckle when he saw Carmon's black-blue-purple shiner.
"Fine and your answer is yes." Carmon said.
"Yes?" Oliver asked.
"Yes."
Oliver gave Carmon the 'if you're lying, you're digging your own grave' look.
"Yes." Carmon assured him.
"Fine." Oliver said, waving his hand to dismiss the black-eyed boy and turned back to his book.
Carmon made a face, and then discreetly removed himself from the table.
Oliver definitely was not reading his book. He just let random thoughts pass through his mind until all students were there for lunch. Lunch passed quickly and nicely. Oliver talked to all the normal people, but shot discreet glances at the farthest table.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shini ran to her next class fast tot talk to Professor Trelawney before class started. She had eaten lunch fast and walked out. Alice had run along without her because she said it was important to find her right away.
Shini was just turning the next corner when SMASH!
"Flint?!"
"Shini!" Flint's eyes went wide. "Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going. I really am very." he drawled as his eyes wandered.
He didn't realize he had grabbed Shini's hand. He looked at it in his palm then looked at her eyes. His thoughts wandered. Shini looked puzzled. She looked damn puzzled. She was staring at Flint when
Flint had acted on one quick thought and leaned to kiss Shini on the lips. Shini's head tilted downward to protest, but her eyes half-closed in contentment. Flint paused then moved again. He was an inch from Shini's lips when she closed the space between them. Flint's conscious was told to fuck off for a moment by ::cough:: something else.
A moment later, both had the immense feeling this was wrong, and they pulled back, opening their eyes. They stared at each other for a few awkward moments. Shini finally gave Flint's hand what she hoped to be a 'just friends' squeeze and a small smile crossed her lips. Flint smiled too, disappointed he understood.
