Becca walked in the kitchens, her hands cold and her red hair stiff from the cold and wind. She had just gotten back from a long walk around the lake.
No one told her to do it, but she felt like she needed to, to get that feeling out of her legs. Blowing against her fingers to keep them warm she took off her scarf and her winter cloak.

As she sat down in the nearest table, a house-elf scurried up to her.
"Just maybe some of those mini-eclairs and a mug of hot cocoa?"
She said to the house-elf as it nodded and scurried back.

Rebeckah felt good to be back in Hogwarts. She loved the armours and the fact that you needed to concentrate carefully on which stair to take.
Which stair might take you to the wrong place. Most of all, she could use magic there now to make her life easy unlike back home when she was under age. She likes her home enough, she just felt more attached to Hogwarts.

Stretching out her arms she sat patiently as the house elf finally came back with a large steaming cup of hot cocoa and a small plate of mini-eclairs. Becca didn't worry about getting fat. She played now in the quidditch team and during a week, she normally tried to take walks at least once or twice a week. Not that her walks were for excercising, most walks were to think or write. or she simply enjoyed the fresh breeze.

Looking outside the window, she smiled at herself. Sometimes, it seemed all quiet and nothing could ruin her life.

Bam!

There was a noise. Turning around, she wondered who would make such a racket to come in the kitchens.

Travis:

The noise was not made by Travis. He may have been the resident klutz but the boy was able to walk around without making something fall or trip twenty-four seven. He wasn't that bad. Maybe when he was younger he may have, as the accident prone boy would concentrate on not making a mess and would end up doing so anything. Such concentration on not doing could lead to it happening after all.

However, over the summer the thirteen year old had grown. He had changed some. He know longered dwelled unnecessarily on not making a mess and as such he was only a klutz half the time. He still felt embarrassment over those moments but now Travis laughed and shrugged them off. They couldn't be helped and it didn't help him any to make a big deal out of them.

But then, another reason why he wasn't so clumsy may have been because he was finally starting to grow into his body. His movements weren't so awkward now.

Either way, Travis had entered the kitchens a few moments after the crash. A house elf had tripped over a dropped plate which invaribly lead to the crash his sister had heard. Travis blinked looking at the slight mess caused by the elf's blunder.

He stooped down and helped the creature up, however the elf brushed the lad away politely and still eagerly before it carried on with its duties. Travis stood back up and shook his head. It was kind of nice to see a mess that wasn't caused by him.

Rebeckah:

Rebeckah grinned at her brother helping the poor house-elf.
"Hey Travis. Whats up?" She asked in a nonchalant way. Becca wasn't exactly nosy in her siblings bussiness
but she liked to keep up with them and at least know that they were okay.
Stretching out comfartably on her cushiony chair she turned to her plate of eclairs and chomped on one, savoring each bite and thinking hard.

Her brothers and her were all in seperate houses at Hogwarts. Devon was in Slytherin, she herself in Gryffindor and Travis was a Ravenclaw. Did they at least have something in common? Or did most people
think twice before they ever thought of them being related before hearing their sir names?

Turning to her brother, she realized another person was opening the door to the kitchens. Who was it now?

Thai:

Why was Thai in the kitchens? Who knows. She certainly didn't. If there was someone there past curfew, who cares. They were eating. IT wasn't anywhere near curfew anyways. It was about mid-day.

Ish.

Immediatly after hearing the crash, Thai raced to the sound. Seeing Travis at the scene of the crime was not exactly a surprise. The day they met, they were both on the floor afterall. Considering his hand placement, being a klutz could come in handy if he were to ever turn into a perv.

The thought of Travis sitting in a bar, with a stubbly chin and a glass of scotch, hitting on slutty women almost made Thai pass out. That was totally absurd. Imagining him drunk however, made her laugh. Imagine all the things he would knock over then?

With a smile on her face, Thai walked over to the spill. Ew. it was this droopy mess they tried to pass off for tomatoe soup. It was terrible. The students were actually quite lucky it was spilled all over the floor. Saved them a lot of fights over the good food. And normally the food at Hogwarts was delicious. Apparently they had a bit of a different idea of soup here then they did in the wizarding world. House elves couldn't be blamed though.

"Hey Travis." Thai smiled at the boy. "Tripping house elves I see." That was a joke of course. It was obvious that it was not Travis' fault. What would he be doing on the floor anyways? He was standing now...

Then Thai noticed someone else. She was a red headed girl, younger than Thai, but older than Travis. She didn't know her. Perhaps a 5th or 6th year. However, Thai chose to ignore her. No need to bug someone else. There was 'soup' all over the floor.

Beckah:

Becca raised her blue eyes at the older girl who just entered the room. She looked familiar but Becca couldn't just remember. She knew the other girl was Head Girl and could send her to detention for no apparent reason or she could get in trouble if she acted rude to her.

Blinking at the soup spilled on the floor she stared hard at it.
That..that older girl wasn't just flirting with her younger brother was she?
The way she greeted to Travis and talked to him seemed very flirty-like. Yeah, Becca went out with other guys and brothers didn't seem to care but now she was the one squished in the middle of the sandwich now. Eugh.

Standing up from her chair she put on her a gracious face and walked into the soup scene where the older girl and Travis were standing.
"Hello. I see you know my younger brother Travis."
She said formally with a bit of sweetness. It sounded so strange, especially when she emphasized "younger brother" alot.

All Becca felt was protectiveness over Travis. Who wouldn't? The younger brother she had to baby-sit and she remembered last year when she received a long letter from her mother with extensive instructions to keep an eye on her younger brother. But she let Travis have too much of his own space rather then to be like the eagle preying on Travis like her mother wanted to.

Pushing away the feeling and confused, angry thoughts in her head she gave the older girl an smile which plain everyday said "I'm just Joking" but inside she didn't feel like she was joking.
Then she gave Travis a quick questioning look. Then again...what did Becca have to do with Travis's love/personal life??

Now what? The whole world is now busy turning my world upside down. What the heck is Travis thinking? The girl is older then him and probably a seventh year! Thats four years difference!!!??

Travis:

Travis looked up at Thai when she entered and comment on his "tripping house elves." He gave her a grin. "Ah, you know it," he stated. "I can't be the only one around here to fall flat on my face." He gave the house elves a look that told them he was clearly kidding. He didn't need to have them angry at him. That would be the last thing he needed, help on making his life a living hell. He did that pretty alright by himself, thank you very much.

He was about to inquire what brought Thai to the Kitchens when his sister decided to approach them. He stared at her as she started to speak. Travis couldn't say that he like how much she had emphasized the "younger brother" part. Sure, Travis was used to be the youngest, being doted on, sometimes protected, but of late that was a little annoying. Perhaps it was the freedom that Becca had given him last year or perhaps he was just growing up. Either way, he felt annoyed by it.

"Bec, this is Thai, she's in my house ..." he stated with a off handed manner that he didn't quite feel. "My older sister Beckah," he then stated to Thai in the same off-handed manner. Travis refrained from adding that Thai had gone to the Spring Ball with him last year, or rather it was the other way around. Although, he was sure that Bec would be able to remember that ... if she had not had too much fun herself that night.

With each other the Nutosk siblings being in different houses, they did not often share much of their personal lives while they are in school. Sometimes it was a matter of guess and check to see if they were still the same as the last time they had spoken.

Either way, Travis had refrained from mentioning the Ball connections. He wasn't sure what Bec would do and he didn't want to find out. Girls could be rather weird in how they handled information they didn't like, especially in regards to other girls. Travis wasn't blind ... he could observe things that happened around him.

Thai:

"Sister. That explains a lot." She seemed very protective over Travis. The way she spoke, and emphasized the younger part. The way she walked over unannounced and just jumped into the conversation.

Though it was just as well. Thai was a bit protective over him too. If ever she saw someone picking on him or something, she'd probably beat them with their own disembodied limbs.

The thought almost made Thai laugh, but she skimmed by with a grin. "Yep. I'm Thai." With the grin still on her face, she added, "And to be noted," She turned to Travis again, "There has officially been one time ever I have met you, where someone wasn't on the floor."

That seemed likely, but it was definalty true. The day they met he had tripped over go knows what, and then she over him. Then there was now, tripping house elves? Sure, Travis was a well known klutz, but this was rather silly.

Though, Thai noticed when she entered, that he had grown quite a bit over the summer. She had as well, but she was 17, it wasn't that obvious. Travis on the other hand, seemed so much taller. Mabey it was the fact that Thai hadn't been doing much growing, but she wasn't too sure.

Beckah:

"Bec, this is Thai, she's in my house ..." he stated with a off handed manner that he didn't quite feel. "My older sister Beckah,"

Rebeckah's head practically swirled. She felt sort of dizzy but she didn't want some kind of concussion or a dizzy spell now. Now was not the time to fall sick and die.
Thai seemed nice and quite friendly after all. Again Becca wasn't suppose intrude in Travis's life.

Her brothers didn't really boss around her life after all, either. So why was she suddenlt intruding on other peoples? It was none of her bussiness and a waste of her time. Or maybe she still hadn't gotten inside her thick head that Travis was a boy and sometimes boy preferred their own space.

Why was this so difficult? It was like two voices screaming in her head. One voice told her to blow up at Travis and Thai. The other voice told her to be nice and keep her temper in tone. It was hard to even think what she might do next. The ground felt cold and hard to her feet and she could almost hear every heartbeat.

What are you doing Beckah!!?? Get back out there girl! Don't lose your head. Don't faint.
Don't blow up at Thai and Travis. Good god. Are you going to be sticking in your brother's personal life and bussiness 'till they're dying day?

Feeling blood go around her feet again and oxygen coming back to her brain she merely nodded and smiled back feeling foolish of herself. "Oh. Well, hi Thai." She said a little softer then she would of have.
Reality was pushing against her now.

My god Beckah. How emotional and over-protective can you get? Eugh.

Travis:

Travis stared at his sister throughout most of the exchange. She was acting weird, well weirder than normal. In Travis's opinion, Becca had always been a tad weird, however Devon far outweighed her in that department in any case. Devon was weird just for the fact Travis hardly ever saw his older brother. Even when they were at home he rarely saw his brother. Was it no wonder then why Travis grew a stronger bond with his sister than brother?

True, Travis liked to think he liked his two siblings equally, but when you saw one more than the other some things just can't be helped.

But for the most part, Travis could not say what was going on in his sister's head. He didn't know most times, so this time wasn't any different but he still wished to know what she was thinking. She didn't act this strange towards every one he interacts with ... why Thai?

Needless to say, this was still rather over his head. And the comment Thai had made, about being on the floor, well that was confusing as it was but he got the gist of it and only smiled.

Thai:

This Rebeckah girl was still being odd. Would she have known about Thai being head girl? That is a bit intimidating. Though, most people don't knwo the head girl and boy by name unless they know them anyways. Thai was the odd one out in that situation. She always knew their names.

Though she never felt intimidated. More so, smug around them. She always kind of knew she was going to make head girl in her seventh year, if not before then. It was just something that was bound to happen. She was that ambitious girl, who never had time for friends, always workign on perfecting her school work, and suckign up to teachers. Who wouldn't want her as head girl?

She's level headed. No problems giving and taking points. Definatly not one of those people who will just let everyone go. Thai sometimes enjoyed taking points from other houses. Occasionally even from her own, when someone did something pareticularly wrong.

But if it wasn't her beign ehad girl, what was it? Then she recalled her enterance. It did seem a bit like they were crushing didn't it? The thought made Thai laugh. Sure, he was adorable, and if he was older she probably would have a crush on him, but he was a third year. How insane was that?

No. Thai dosn't have crushes. Not on Travis, and definatly not on Benneit Cameron. That was for sure. That thought rattled in her head for a moment. It wasn't part of her plan to find a boy. They were distractions. A small frown, almost a scowl appeared on Thai's face, though breifly, and she cleared it as quick as it had come.

Boys can never amount to any good.

"Pleasure." She said, in response to Rebeckah, as the situation grew even mroe awkward by the second.

Beckah:

Silence.

Becca practically died right there. Not because of Thai or Travis or however they were acquaintinced.
It was probably because this moment was going to add on to her list of most wierd and embarrassing moments. Becca would classify this as wierd and awkward though.

Recalling the way she barged in to the conversation with Travis and Thai it did seem like she was a snob.
Probably a nosy, dumb redheaded sixth year. Becca smiled a little to refrain from smirking.

Looking back to the place she was just sitting on she realized she left her eclairs cold and her hot chocolate was now cold chocolate.
How nice. She thought smirking.

It seemed wierd all three of them standing there saying nothing.
Finally speaking up, "Well, I'm going to express my idea of sitting down because I dodn't think my legs can take much longer."

Discontinued.
