I give you one brief moment of seriousness, and then I give you fluff. Bonus points if you know where I took the title from. I'm reasonably sure this one was my idea, but it's been so long I honestly don't know for sure. I'm sneaking up on Finals so if you don't hear from me till early July, that's why; I'm just buried. As usual RM and I don't own HP. Read, enjoy, review.
Banished, Banished, Banished
Late January, 1992
Fourth Year
Jo sat sulking in the common room and a younger 'Puff noticed her unusual behavior. "Hey, Jo? What's the matter?"
Jo didn't even turn to look at the girl as she answered, "Leili banished me from the dormitory."
The girl frowned, that wasn't like Leilani, "Why?"
"For messing up her potion." Jo pouted before adding loud enough for Leilani to hear, "Apparently the paprika in my lunch reacted badly with the dragon's blood in the potion."
"It was the doxy wings!" Leili yelled back, irritation coloring her tone.
"What kind of potion is she making that's that sensitive?"
"Damned if I know!" Jo replied indignantly. A minute later, Leili appeared in the doorway, using a work rag to remove the potion from her hands, much like a mechanic would remove oil and grease. Her hair was tied back into a messy bun and there was a pea-soup colored spot on her jaw to match the splotches on her shirt and jeans.
"Woah, what the hell happened, Leilani?" The younger 'Puff asked.
"Exactly what Jo said; apparently, paprika and Doxy wings don't mix." Leili said as she rubbed at her jaw, trying to scrub away the spot she'd missed. Jo sighed and crossed the room, snatching the rag out of Leili's hands and forcing the smaller brunette's head still so she could remove the spot Leili had been missing.
"Want me to help clean up?"
"It's done, besides, I banished you," Leili teased with a smile.
"Meanie."
"Idjit."
