The Chronicles of Four Side Characters

Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff

               "Snowbell stop kicking me." Reginald chastised as he picked at his toast. She slowed her kicking under the table. She had red and gold stripes painted under her eyes and a bulky Gryffindor scarf. Today was a Quidditch match, Gryffindor against Hufflepuff. Like everyone else in the building, Bell was excited.

"Sorry...I'm just so ready for the game. We're gunna cream Hufflepuff." She said. Marina sat beside Snowbell with Gryffindor flag placed next to her plate.

"I mean that's to be expected. Gryffindor has been performing really well this year." Marina added.

"Hey don't count Hufflepuff out yet," Reg said. "They can pull through."

"I don't know, Gryffindor has been brutal this year," Snowbell commented.

"I agree with Bells on this one." A new voice broke in.

"Hyun-Joong!" the Gryffindor cheered when she saw Roman. "Come sit." She grabbed his hand and kept holding onto it even after he sat down.

"What's on the menu today?" he asked as a tray of floating toast came by.

"Same as always," Marina replied. Roman picked up a spoonful of hash browns with his left hand and deposited on his plate. Reginald was eyeing the Slytherin and Gryffindor curiously.

"Am I missing something here?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Snowbell questioned in return.

"Are you two dating?" he gestured between the two of them. Roman spit out his orange juice.

"No!" they shouted in unison.

"We just-uh-we..." Bell trailed off blushing.

"We're just really good friends," Roman said politely.

"Yeah!" The Gryffindor agreed.

"Whatever you say," Reg said in a sing-song voice. Bell dropped her head on the table and groaned.

"Do people really think we are dating?" she moaned.

"Not that I know of, but I wouldn't dismiss it," Marina said. "You two are...cuddly."

"Hyun-Joong is a person that you can't help but cuddle," Bell stated and hugged him.

"And is Hyun-Joong okay with that?" Reginald asked.

"Um, you haven't reached the friendship level where you can call me that," Roman said.

"Excuse me? You have friendship levels too?" Marina sputtered.

"Yeah. Reg is level 6, you are level 9, and Bellbell is level 14." He listed.

"Ha! I outrank all of you!" Bell gloated.

"I'm hurt," Reginald teased, "why am I only level 6?"

"You haven't given many reasons for me to bump you up any friendship levels." Roman shrugged.

"I give plenty. I'm a very likable person." Reggie said. The table went silent. "I'm a likable person," he said again, but this time with a little more exaggeration.

"You keep telling yourself that," Marina commented.

"All of you are assholes," Reg grumbled.

"You're one to talk," Roman said.

-.-.-

"Quidditch, Quidditch, Quidditch." Snowbell chanted as the four approached the Quidditch pitch. Many students were waiting around in front of the entrance and quite a few were heading back towards the castle.
