Gabriella sat in front of her mirror as she pondered what to do. It was only a couple of days since the school has closed for summer vacation and she was already feeling bored. It might have been only a few weeks and she had her sisters to talk, but she definitely missed her friends and the long talks they have. She knew that many of her friends were going to be in the Leaky Cauldron, it was a meeting spot for quite a few after all. She decided to go there and Merlin only knows she might meet some one she knew. She quickly flitted through her wardrobe, which consisted both muggle and wizarding wear thanks to her fashion sense for a perfect dress to wear. Finally she decided on a simple skater dress as it would be quite comfortable. Gabi floo-ed her way to the leaky cauldron and began to look around, hoping to spot anyone she might know. Unlucky for her, she did not come across one single friendly face. Huffing at her bad luck, she made her way across the bar with a glass of butterbeer in her hand. She settled down on a table which was almost in the middle of the bar, so that she can see the hustle. She laid back in her seat and sipped her drink hoping for someone to join her.

Addilyn was taking a day to go to London to shop. She needed some personal time to herself and clothes were always a great help to make her happy. Not that she was ever not happy, but it made her very excited. New clothes, shoes and pretty much anything new was always fantastic and let me tell you, Addi definitely had the time of her life spending the majority of her money on things. Halfway through her shopping she realized how hungry she was and decided to stop in at The Leaky Cauldron.
Walking in, the door above her rang and she grinned at the bartender. Addi walked over, ordered a butterbeer, fish and chips and then took the time to glance around the pub, trying to decipher any familiar faces. One person, Gabriella Krum stuck out to her. They're best friends, have been for quite a while now. They are not in the same house, but they are the same age and have been at Hogwarts the same amount of time. "Gabriella! How are you?" Addi slid into a stool next to her and grinned brightly.

Gabi was sulking behind her glass of drink as she watched people flutter by. It's been a while since she came into the cauldron and was getting bored. Just as she dipped her head, to sip down on her drink she heard a voice calling out her name. At the familiarity in the voice, Gabi didn't need a seer to tell her that it was her best friend, Addilyn. Gabi and her have been best friends for as long as one could remember, being sorted into different houses did not keep them apart. Both the girls are very outspoken and tend to get lost while they talk around things. Both love shopping and quidditch and are players in their respective house teams. She looked up, her face widening in a huge smile as she saw her slide across her. In an exciting voice she spoke "Addilyn, it is so good to see you. And in what is called a dramatic way, she added "You are my knight in shining armor. I knew there was a reason I talk to you." She was soo happy to see her friend today, and if she was honest she expected to run into a mere acquaintance but having her best friend beside her was a total bonanza to her. As Addilyn asked about her, she gave a small shrug and spoke "I'm fine darling. How are you?" If Gabi spoke the truth, then she could say that the relation she and Addilyn had was that of sisters, bonding over quidditch and bickering over fashion. Giving a glance towards the shopping bag, she raised an eye brow and said "some one has been shopping without me". Gabi, was surprised when she received a letter stating that they were to bring dress robes for formal event along with their usual list of books. To say, she was excited was a understatement. She knew about the secret even going to be conducted at the school, but didn't know anything regarding it. She cannot go and ask her father as she has eavesdropped on their conversation in the first place. So looking at the bags, only brought forward the idea that she did not shop for the dress. Looking at Addilyn, she spoke "don't tell me you brought the formal dress which we were supposed to bring with us this year?" her facing pouting a little at the feeling of being left out. WORDS: 406 TAGS: @jill2 NOTES: It is the end of the vacation, so they got their letters by now and they would know about the dress robes, right?

Addilyn smiled just as brightly back at her best friend with a small laugh. "Well, maybe not a knight. A queen sounds more like it!" Addi winked and ordered a drink from the bartender. He came back over and Addi took a big sip of it, making sure to savor the taste. "It's great to see you as well!"
"I'm great Gabriella! A lot better after getting all these new clothes." Addilyn laughed; it was true. Money may not buy happiness, but clothes definitely do. She grinned brightly at her friend when she mentioned dress robes. "No, no, no! I have not bought that yet. I was getting hungry and was coming to get some food. We could go buy ours together if you'd like? That would be more fun!" Addi then ordered her fish and chips and awaited hungrily for it to appear.

Gabi loved these moments she had with her best friend, every time they sit together the place will be filled with happiness and joy. She gave a tinkling laugh as Addilyn wanted to be a queen and said "nah, you are my Knight in shining armor, and as an after thought she added " or at least until I get one." She wondered why the boys at school stayed away from her. It was not the fact that she was not beautiful, as even a blind man can tell that she is a beauty. She wondered if it had to do with her being a Krum or may be it was her. She can never know the answer to these questions, and she wasn't even ready to deal the truth. She however pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind and listened as Addilyn spoke, and responded with an equally bright smile and said "it sure is. I had quite a nice time in Bulgaria. Vot about you? How vos your holiday"? She didn't know about her siblings, but Gabi sure does have a thick Bulgarian accent ot her voice. Living in London for this long, one might think that she is now fluent in English, but it is quite the opposite. She always has an accent in her voice, which her friends are quite used to, by now. She sipped on her drink and listened as he friend laughed about clothes shopping. It was true, as Gabi felt quite at ease after a trip of shopping. She gave a smile and said "glad that you feel vell now. But ve vill have to go out together for that dress." She was quite looking forward to the event for which they were going to need the dress robes, and as far as her memory serves right, it should be a ball or something. She gave a small look of satisfaction at her answer and said "good, I vos hoping ve could go together and get it done." She looked at her friend as a sudden realization fell over her and said "ve vere asked to bring dress robes, that means ve are going to have a dance or something She was not sure her friend was listening or not but continued "that means, ve need dance partners, vich is highly difficult for me. Vat if no one vants to take me?" She was in a pure shock at the very thought of being left alone on a night like that.

Addi shook her head at her best friend. "Of course you'll get one! I'm sure plenty of guys were willing to date you, they might just be afraid of your family." Addi laughed. The Krum's were a large family and with Gabriella's father being Viktor, Addi was sure boys were scared to even speak to her. Which Addilyn knew wasn't the greatest and probably made the girl feel horrible, but she'll find a guy one day who isn't afraid of names and is confident in himself.
Gabriella asked about her holiday and Addilyn smiled brightly. "It was great! I got to see my sister again after not seeing her all year and spent some time with my parents. I'm still trying to get Grey to break out of his sad spell, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. I just want that older brother who does everything with his sister and they're super close...but Grey isn't like that." Addi gave her friend a sad smile. "What's Bulgaria like?"
Addilyn listened to her best friend speak and as she thought, she suddenly became very excited. A dance? Oh my. Should she ask Kyle? Or should she wait for someone to ask her? Her heart began beating faster and Addi knew she needed to find the most beautiful dress. "Oh Gabriella! You will most definitely find someone! Don't be so pessimistic! You're beautiful." Addi took a chug of her drink and began eating her food that arrived. "We need to go dress shopping as soon as we can! Oh I'm so excited! I wonder why we're having a dance, though..."

Gabi felt at ease as Addi reassured her, she always knew what to say to her to make her feel better, for which she was glad. She gave a nod and said, "Yeah, a guy who doesn't run away from my family name" and gave a small laugh at the very thought and said "it looks like I'm going to wait for a long time, then." It was quite difficult for a girl like her, to feel so bad but when many girls have a guy to look at here she was stuck in a place without one. She looked at her best friend and decided not to dampen the mood and asked "so any color preference for your dress robes?" Thinking for a moment, she answered back "i vos thinking of wearing a dark color dress rather than light colored ones, what do you say?" Gabi could see that her friend had a wonderful summer, just by the fact at how her yes lightened up. She nodded while listening to her talk about her time. As she talked about her brother, Gabi gave a tiny hint of smile and said "don't vorry, he vill come around. Give him some time," She never talked to Grey before, but knew about him a lot thanks to her bestie, Addi who wouldn't stop about her. She gave a small smile as Addi once again reached out and crushed her fears away. Her excited face, made her forget about the worry about being left out. In a teasing voice she asked " so vill you ask a certain some one?" She knew about her friend's little crush on a certain puff and wondered if either of them would make a move this time. She may not find the one person she want, but she will tease her friend about it. WORDS: 313 TAGS: @jill2 NOTES: I wrote the post assuming that Gabi knows about her crush on Kyle.

Addilyn nodded her head at Gabriella. "Yes! Me as well! I was thinking of sticking with an emerald green dress. It'll complement my skin, and my house." Addi loved being in Slytherin. Even though many people gave her crap for it, and made fun of her, she enjoyed it. Some of her best friends were in Slytherin, including Edmund. She loved him and he was a great friend. "What specific darker color were you going for? Maroon?" Addi thought Gabriella looked stunning in anything, so whatever color she chose would be perfect.
She shrugged her shoulders at Gabriella's comment about Grey. He was a stubborn kid, and he didn't actually seem to enjoy being around Addi much so she usually kept her distance from him either way unless they were at home. She then asked about Kyle and Addilyn felt a shot of anger in her heart. She looked at Gabriella and shook her head. "No. I've got to talk to Kyle about a few things first before I even consider having a silly crush on him anymore." After what Jamie told Addi the other day, she didn't really know who Kyle was anymore.

Gabi gave a smile and nod as her friend agreed to buying a dark colored dress robes. Honestly any color would look awesome on them, but dark colors in particular look wonderful on them due to their complexion. She gave a small chuckle as Addi mentioned about getting a green and silver, and spoke "of course you vould wear those colors. Why did I even ask? As Addi asked about her own dress robes color, she though for a minute and said "May be maroon, or I vould get a purple or red ones, definitely not black" she said scrunching up her face. She honestly did not like that color, all depressing and dull and would not understand other people's like to it. She could feel teh air around them shifting as the topic of Kyle came up. She wondered what happened in the holidays that caused her friend's reaction and answer. She reached out to take Addi's hand in hers and asked "vot happened,Addi? Did he say anything to you? Did he hurt you?" She felt her insides flare up at the thought of her friend in distress and she could feel her inner badger itching to hex that lion if he as much as hurt her friend. She was quite protective of those she caredand Addi was one of them and even if it meant going against a friend of theirs, she would not hesitate. She poke up in a determined voice, "if he did such a thing, then he vould have to face me."

Addilyn giggled with her best friend. "Well, yes, of course I'd pick emerald and silver! The colors are beautiful and I think I look good in them." Addi wasn't one to be over conceited or cocky, so she tended to just thank people when they gave her compliments. Yes, she did think she was beautiful, but she wasn't obnoxious about it, no.
When Gabriella grabbed her hand Addi felt comforted. She knew Gabriella would be there for her no matter what, give her great advice and be a fantastic friend. Addi sighed, "No, he didn't physically hurt me...just...emotionally. And it wasn't even him who did it." It was hard to explain, but she kept on going, "Jamie Greyback spoke with me the other day. She told me that, well, that Kyle hates Slytherins, and he talks badly about us before Quidditch Matches even though he knows I'm on the team, and that, that he is only nice to me because I'm Grey's little sister!" Addi sobbed.

Gabi joined with her friend giggling at their conversation. She and Addi could some times have the most serious conversations in the world and still end up laughing. She gave a nod and said "of course you would look beautiful in it. Do we even have to think about it?" It was no secret, but the two girls were quite beautiful, but despite of it, they never feel jealousy over each other, be it for the beauty, their skill on the quidditch pitch. She was glad to find such person in Addi and Gabi always had a nice time talking to her. She could see the change in Addi, and was glad that she could comfort her friend. She would always stand by her, and she knwe for a fact that Addi too knows about it and would trust her to share her feelings or problems. Gabi quietly listened as Addi spoke about the matter regarding Kyle. She was glad that he didn't hurt her physically, some times guys can be such idiots and decided to not lash out at him upon seeing. But as Addi continued, she began to get angry. Not the person to generally feel the emotion called as angry, it was a bad thing for Kyle to be on it's receiving end. She watched as her best friend's yes began to water and immediately she went beside her and drew her into a hug. She listened as Addi spoke about the talk she had with Jamie. She was very angry by the end f it, she herself was a quidditch player and even if it was for matches, she would never bad mouth the slytherins even if they were not her friends. How could that Kyle be so.. she was going to burst out, but one look at her friend had cooled her down. She would have to deal with that bloody gryffindor later. But for now, her friend needed her comfort and she slowly rubbed soothing circles on her back and spoke "it's okay, I think he does nto mean by it. He talks to you, that indicates that he is ready to make exceptions. It is not that he hates all of you, may be he is not happy with some people? Because they did something to him? " She looked at her best friend and could see that she was hurt a lot by this. She had to make sure that Addi was not going to make stupid decisions, and spoke "I think you should talk to him. Addi many don't like slytherins, wait" she held up her hand before Addi could break her and continued "let me continue, I was weary at first too, but can you blame me? After seeing Nott, Weasley, and her gang, no one can feel a positive thought about you guys. I was a talker, so I ended up talking to you lot, because I thought that not all could be same." She waited for a moment so that Addi would understand it and continued, " even for a person like me, it took some time to open up. You and I know how closed Kyle is, so he may have his views based on a single incident or a single person. We can't tell that he is prejudiced, but may be a bit of" she trailed off thinking of for the lack of a good word, which doesn't hurt her friend, "yeah, a bit of a narrow minded person." Gabi looked at her friend in her arms and said "don't feel bad, we will set him right" and gave a chuckle. She really hoped that Addi understood what she was trying to say. Tia always said that she was good when it came to comforting, and hoped that she was good enough for Addi to make her feel better. She wanted to see her friend happy and if it meant dressing down a certain gryffindor, she would be glad to do so. [/b][/b][/div][/div] [/div]

Addilyn listened intently to what her best friend was saying. This was true, and it's what she should be telling Edmund. They had been flirting quite a bit since their first day back, and even though they were best friends, there were definitely feelings between the two of them and Addi had her heart torn. Granted, she wasn't as close to Kyle and he didn't even know about her feelings, let alone if he returned them. But Ed on the other hand, was her favorite person, someone she loved deeply, and it was a great feeling.
Addilyn chuckled at Gabriella. Her friend was being honest, and if Addi had to admit, she knew that some Slytherins were super mean. But still, that didn't mean that they could be so prejudice and rude to every single person in that house. "I know, Gabriella. I just, it's rude. I don't want to be with someone that is mean at all because of a single person...and, well, theres someone else too..." At this name, Addi smiled a sad smile, happy to talk about him but sad about their fight.

Gabi could see something akin to confusion written all over Addi's face. She looked at her and asked "what's got your brain all confused up?" She was glad that Addi listened to her and was not basing off her judgement on Kyle. She had to feel happy that Addilyn was not going to do cry on and on about it. Sh listened as Addi spoke up, which was a very good sign in her eyes. She nodded her head, she could understand that feeling all too well. She gave a small smile and said "it is okay, Addi. We all hope for that day, but that is too good to happen." She however noticed the small sip up about some one else. What else did Addilyn not tell me' she thought. She looked at her and decided to ask the same, "what do you mean someone else?" She did not know about that certain some one else she was referring to, but wondered if the problem lay in there. Gabi gave a small smile at her friends direction and said "Addi remember that whatever may happen, stay with the person who makes you smile in the end of the day. Be it some one who does not like your house, or be it some one who is in the same house as you." She took a sip from her drink and continued, "after stwo years, you will not be in this school, then these houses will be nothing but your past. So, all you need to see is what makes you happy." She hoped that Addi would make the correct decision.

"Oh, nothing, just thinking Is all... Running some thoughts through my brain." Addi smiled softly at Gabriella. Her next few words definitely got her thinking. Yeah, houses won't matter. But what will matter to her is something more important. "I know, Gabs. The other person, who I unfortunately can't say at the moment, is very important to me. He's sweet, caring, likes me for me and makes me truly happy. However with Kyle, this experience shows me the type of person he is. I don't want to be with someone that judges others so quickly. I don't agree with that and I don't stand for it."
She hoped her friend understood. Addi was very set on her beliefs and morals and if someone disagreed with her, she wouldn't tolerate them. And there is no way she'd even want to try to be with a person like that. Yes, she likes the person Kyle is when he's around her, but apparently he's completely different when she isn't around. That's not okay and she doesn't like that.

Gabi gave a small nod as Addi spoke up. Well, she is speaking which is a good thing. It was always better to understand others when they speak out, rather than when they are calm and bottle up things. But the very thought coming from Gabi was laughable, as she was the one who usually keeps to herself and doesn't talk much. She gave a small smile and spoke, "it's okay. Think through things helps." She listened as Addi spoke out, voicing her problem. Gabi listened on patiently as Addi laid out each and everything.At the point of not knowing the person who stole her dear best friend's thoughts, she gave a smile and said "who ever the other person is, I won't pry. But I'm happy that you are too, I only wanted to know, so that I can give him the speech 'you hurt her then you are hexed'. But judging from your looks, I think that it can wait." As she continued on, if put it like that, Addi was true in her earlier comments about Kyle. Gabi gave a small smile and said "it is understandable, people have their beliefs, and we don't need to adjust for it". Gabi could sense the air was getting a bit heavy with all the talk. So in the most cheerful voice she could muster, she spoke out, "so shall we go and shop for our dress robes. We've been talking too much, and now it is time to spend some galleons".
