What happens in the broom closet...

First topic message reminder :

Natalie stumbled out of the broom closet hair fluffy and cheeks pink.
Gareth came out after...lipstick all over his face and a love bite of his neck.
"Well....that was a good snog young Nat...I have taught you well," he said.
"Please.....I taught you everything you know," said Natalie, grinning at Gareth.

Natalie grinned.

"Then go....you're holding up the line," said Natalie.

Phoenix nodded "Yes" she said "My real family"

Matthew looked at everyone not quite getting the topic

Phoenix kept her eyes on the locket.

"Aw," Holly said nodding, "You look like em kiddo,"
She squeezed Phoenix's arm.

Natalie looked interestedly at the photo.

"It's cute," she whispered, "a lovely little unit."

Matthew raised his eyebrows, still not sure...

Phoenix smiled "Back in the good old days" she said.

Holly smiled back.

"What happened?" asked Natalie quietly.

"Mother was killed by Lucius Malfoy wanting a better life for me, Aura and Lily and Father killed himself for depression" she whispered

Matthew payed attention to Phoe

Holly bit her lip.
"Man," she said, falling back slightly to lean against the wall.

"That's awful," said NAtalie, "you're so brave Phoe."

Phoenix decide to put the locket away, remained slient she kept thinking about it.

Matt nodded agreeing with them all

Holly bit her lip and glanced at Matthew.

Phoenix pulled a letter she had got early and began reading it.

Natalie gave Phoenix a hug.

"It can't have been easy for you...I hadn't realised you'd been through so much," said Natalie quietly, tears in her eyes for her friend.

Matt hugged Holly again,
"Love you.." he said cutely

Phoenix hugged Natalie back "I had no idea how i deal with it all" she admitted.

Holly shivered (with happiness of course) and hugged him back.
"You too," she said.

Phoenix contiuned reading the letter and smiled.

Natalie looked at Phoenix.

"You're fine now though....aren't you?" she asked.

Holly patted Phoenix on the back.
"You alright kiddo? You have us now too..."

Phoenix nodded "Why shouldn't i be? with the friends that i have got" she said smiling.

Holly smiled.
"And we aint goin anywhere," she promised.

Phoenix smiled "Good" she said.

Natalie grinned.

"It's quiet.....for a Saturday...don't you think," said NAtalie.

"It IS a broom closet," Holly pointed out.

Phoenix nodded and smiled.

"Well....there are usually...more couples...that come," muttered Natalie.

Phoenix sighed "Any one know any single lads?" she asked.

Holly thought.
"Hm. I dunno. Ill think about it though babe."

"I thought you were seening Draco-oh....wait a minute," said Natalie. Something had just clicked.

"What?" Holly asked, "EXPLAIN TO ME!"

"Huh?" she asked.

"Oh...nothing...nothing..." said Natalie.

"I dont geddit," Holly said, "Do you Phoe?"

"IT DOESN'T MATTER!" NAtalie yelled.

"SORRY!" Holly said, and shrunk away from her.

"Tis ok," said Natalie quietly.

Holly nodded.
"So. The view from in here is nice."

"Um...it's a broom closet Hols," Natalie reminded.

"Oh yeah," Holly said sadly.

"It's ok...it's not the end of the world...there still a good view from the Gryffindor tower." said NAtalie reassuringly.

Phoenix sat back down and sighed,

"YAY THE TOWER!" Holly said, "You ok Phoe?"

Phoenix nodded "I'm fine" she said.

"Towers aren't all good....remember Jodie...what happened to her....poor kid," said NAtalie, shivering.
