Isabela sat in the Common Rooms, staring out into the lake. The water was choppy tonight, and miniature, swirling whirlpools danced past, flinging fish in every direction when they made contact with a school. That's why she was inside. Outside, a storm raged, and she sighed against the armchair she sat in.
Days like this sucked. She didn't want to go out into the Forest, because all of the predatory animals have extremely high nerves because of the weather. It would be extraordinarily dangerous, even for her. Maybe if Marshall were around she would go adventuring, but he wasn't. Come to think of it, not many Slytherins were ever in the Common Rooms. It was part of the reason people thought they were trouble makers: they were always out at night, and a few of them got caught a lot.
She couldn't even tease Fenris. He had a horrible habit of prowling the halls at night in a brood. She'd followed him once, to see what he did, but all he seemed to ever do was walk quietly around and glare at things.
She sighed again, watching Anders eat his evening snack of a cookie. He nibbled the edge, staring at her.
"Alright, how 'bout this Andi?" She stood, and walked up into her dorm room. She changed quickly into her dance costume, the Vampire Queen one. She walked gracefully down the stairs, pretending like she was entering the ball itself.
"Marshall..." She offered her hand to Anders. "Of course I'd love to dance!" She twirled gracefully, humming a waltz she briefly remembered from a trip to France. She was soon caught up in her make-believe dance, humming and twirling around the room.

On her way to her room for some well deserved sleep, Shion strode, Mion obediently perching on her shoulder. Shion sighed, and nuzzled the bird's chest feathers. "Oh, sleep time!" She smiled at the avian, entering the common room.
"Marshall... Of course I'd love to dance!"
Shion stopped in the doorway, and watched Isabela twirl around to her own music, holding Anders in her hand. While Mion eyed the rat, Shion's eyes lay focused on the other girl, a smirk playing on her lips. Closing her eyes, she continued to walk into the room, making her presence known. "Well, now..." She walked over towards Isabela, now looking at Anders. "Marshall, I didn't know you could turn into a rat. How cute."

Isabela flushed, immediately halting. She had been hoping that if anyone came in, it would've been Marshall or Fenris. After all, with Marshall she could use the situation to her flirtatious advantage, and with Fenris she could have all manner of sarcastic quips to come back with.
But... Shion? She hadn't expected the girl back so earlier. She smoothed the edges on her costume with one hand, while setting Anders down.
"Uh.... Hi...." That was it? Way to go, almighty Queen of Sarcasm. 'Uh, hi.' Because THAT was intelligent.

Shion laughed, but not her usual demented little squeal, a normal laugh. "Really? After what you did in Study Hall, that's all you have?" She made a serpentine like motion to move behind Isabela, the smirk never leaving her lips. "Well, hello to you too, then." Mion cawed, spreading her wings for a brief moment.

Isabela's eyes narrowed. She was TRYING to be nice. And, also...
"You got me off my game." She whined, crossing her arms. And she wasn't about to let a Prefect best her in the safety of their own Common Rooms.
"At least I HAVE fun. Unlike some people, who have to switch bodies with their best friend just to have excitement." She smirked evilly at Shion. She'd been able to piece together the story, from their conversations and from following Anri into the Restricted Section, where she looked at Polyjuice recipes.

Shion frowned a little, but she wasn't phased; her devilish smile quickly returned. She closed her eyes, turning her nose up towards the ceiling. "At least I'm BRAVE enough to do so." Shion was most certainly not going to let her prefect status get in the way of this conversation. No one was around to hear it anyway, right? Re-opening her eyes, she glanced around the room, almost willing her vampire-esque friend to be there, watching. "Game? Prepping for Marshall, perhaps?"

Isabela flushed furiously, glad for once for her naturally tan skin, which hid it a bit.
"So what if I am? At least I'm not going with Super Ninja who almost cried over broken CDs. And I am too brave enough to polyjuice with someone, except that would mean that THEY would get Marshall for the night." She put her hands on her hips.

"Hm?" Shion's eyes returned to the girl. "Anri doesn't get him for the night. He'll be going with me. I'll just be in Anri's body when he does." She smiled, running a hand through her hair. "And, as you know, he's a very talented guy. Those CDs were close to him, wouldn't you be upset if, say..." she thought for a moment, not really sure of what would be so special to Isabela, "you lost your looks? I'm sure you'd be rather upset."
Naturally she'd be defensive of her date, but she was a bit put off when he acted like that. Shion didn't know much about the older boy, other than he was charming and good looking. And a ninja. Perhaps she should have waited to get to know him better before saying yes, but she was so frustrated at Masaomi not being the first to ask-
"Ack!" she cried out suddenly, her breath catching in her throat. She began to cough, and Mion flew off of her, and landed on a chair instead.

Isabela blinked. Losing her looks? And having to actually... Get to KNOW people before dating them?! She shook the awful thought out of her head.
Suddenly, Shion started coughing. Isabela blinked, her first thought it being an act that she was putting on. When the bird flew away though, she rushed over.
"Uh... Shion? Are you okay?!"

Shion's cheeks were flushed a bright red, not from coughing, but from her thoughts. She shook her head, waving her hand at Isabela. "Yeah," cough! "I'm fine..." She took in a deep breath, and shook her head, exhaling. "Totally fine."

"Are you sure? You, like, almost died there." She thought back through the conversation they'd been having.
"Of course! It's Masaomi isn't it?" It was so obvious. Poor thing. She was stressed because Masaomi hadn't asked her. That HAD to be it.
Isabela prided herself, once again, on her ability to read relationships.

The coughing started up again, and Shion blushed furiously. She took a seat on the chair where Mion was perched. "What does he have to do with anything?! I just got something stuck in my throat!" She bit her lip, "You're so into Marshall, and you're not coughing up a storm. It doesn't mean anything."

Isabela laughed. "Because I'm USED to being into a guy. There are many teenagers around the world that know the name Isabela Rivaini and wear it on their sleeve. What do you think I did when my father was pulling business deals." She laughed, but she knew deep down that she wouldn't ever do that to Marshall. He was... different.
"And I'm not the type to go stumbling on my heels for a guy. I just tell him, 'Hey, look, you're attractive. We should get together.' I don't fiddle around with these pre-dating emotions." She sat on the armchair, on the side Mion WASN'T perched on. "You just need to tell him, is all. However, you and Edge do have pretty good chemistry."

Shion rolled her eyes at the girl's explanation. "Yeah, well, I fell in love once. It didn't end well..." Her heart cracked a little, and she physically felt the sharp pain in her chest from it. "Th-they're just flirts. The both of them. They'd go with any woman that would say yes. I'm just another piece of meat to them..." Her tone grew softer the more she spoke, and her mind drifted farther away, back to Hinamizawa, to Satoshi.

Isabela paused. She'd never really BEEN in love before. She was one of the girls that was the reason men treated women like a piece of meat. Normally she would just lead them on until she got what she wanted out of the deal, and then drop them like a sack of potatoes. Marshall was different.
She felt a pang for Shion. Almost... sympathy. "But, you see, you're not. Because if they wanted ANYONE, they'd have already had SOMEONE. But Edge asked for YOU specifically. Ain't that worth somethin?"
