"..And this can be mostly confused with the other plant with the 15 leaves and the sharp-edged teeth, the Arizonian plant called At-" Neville chattered away happily about plants once again, a peaceful filled Wednesday where Brooklyn was snuggled up in blankets beside Neville, her head resting on his shoulder as she peered done at the book in his hands to see the etching of plants.
Seanmus and Dean were nowhere to be found, but Neville and Brooklyn had already drawn the conclusion that they were still catching up on sleep they had lost throughout the term of school, after all this is what the term holiday was for.
Brooklyn had been lazily hanging around in her knitted blanket, listening to Neville chat away when Angelina and Alicia appeared in the corner of her eyesight, she dragged her eyes to meet their cheeky expressions and her hair changed partly to a light white colour.
"Merlin, if only we could find a third person to go dress shopping with us" Angelina sighed in a fake matter, Brooklyn's head popping up from Neville's shoulder as she observed their lying features and her hair suddenly changed to highlights of grey.
"What's boring you-" Neville quizzes Brooklyn before he turns to the nature of her bored expression and hair colour, grinning to himself as he watches them walk closer in fake matter of daze.
"I know right, if only we knew someone amazing with fantastic fashion sense who also is in need for a dress" Alicia responds with a sigh of fake stress, Brooklyn's face remains void as Neville lowers his book in sudden realisation.
"Brooklyn is free, she needs a dress too" The girls smirk at each other at the news as Brooklyn's hair swiftly turns to a light shade of red, her face turning to meet Neville with a deepened look of betrayal. "what?" He asks cluelessly.
"Excellent Neville!" Angelia praises.
"Yes, we'll set off now! No time like the present and all those muggle sayings!" Alicia adds on, and then both girls are grabbing and pulling Brooklyn from the couch as she has her firm death glare on the source of her ruining, her blanket pools at her feet and she has to move her feet over it to avoid any damage-which the girls swiftly take advantage of.
"I hope you know, I'm cursing your grandchildren right now" Brooklyn says in a matter-of-fact tone with Neville, as he gives her a fond smile and lifts his book back up to read, hearing Brooklyn's demise in the background as the girls shove her away from her comfort and out of the common room. "And your great-grand children!!" She shouts as a last resort, although she is still pushed out of the warmth and into stone covered walls.
"Honestly, cursing your own grandchildren" Angelina shakes her head with a tut that almost put McGonagals to shame, Brooklyn looked at her with a confusion marked all over her face.
Alicia cuts in immediately "What Angelina means is, what kind of dress are you aiming for? Or are you just waiting for what feels right?" She smiles at Angelina innocently as she hooks her arm with Brooklyn, Angelina's arm completely dropping from her previous grip as Brooklyn has obviously given up.
"Probably whatever looks decent" Brooklyn sounded bored, she was bored, there was no way this was going to be an enjoyable experience for her-but Neville had pushed her to do it so she couldn't duck and run now, he had already given her away.
Which reminds her, she needs to plot a revenge for that.
"Whatever looks decent" Angelina mocks slightly, "I just know you'll find something stunning to wear and you'll be thanking us when Neville is on his knees beginning for a dance with you" This cause Alicia to send a slight pinch her way. "Ow! I'm not lying"
"Shh" Alicia responds.
"It's okay, I do know how everyone at the school thinks we're a thing" Brooklyn replies quickly, and the girls share a look of hope and wonder. "But we aren't together" The hope dies down. "We're best friends, and we have been since first year, so I am not going to let some 'stunning' dress take away and risk what we have, especially just because some dumb rumour is at the centre of it"
"Thats understandable" Alicia sympathises with a nod, "I'd anything we're to happen it should be your terms alone"
