Terry had planned on running up to the dorms to see if Stephen had the latest Quidditch magazine. He jogged through the halls, his tie undone, and shirt untucked. When he reached the Portrait he muttered the password and jogged inside. Glancing around he saw a few girls giggling at a table. "Hi Terry." he heard one of them say. Looking at her he grinned and waved. "Hello Ms Fawcett." he said softly and watched her giggle and whisper something to the other girl. "I was wondering if you'd go to the ball with me." she asked quietly and stood up. Terry flinched and bit at his lip. "Erm...I'm actually going with someone already." he lied. She sighed and shrugged. "Oh - alright. Well, I hope you guys have fun. she said in a depressed tone. Terry heaved a sigh and held his arms out. "Hug?" he asked. The girl smiled and hugged him tightly.

After his encounter with the two girls he ran up the stairs, taking them by twos and burst into the dorms saying, "Cornfoot! Are you done with that-" he started and stopped when he saw him pulling his tights on. Terry burst out into laughter and nearly fell onto the bed next to him. "What in merlin's name are you doing?" he managed through laughter. "Wait - please tell me that's for your costume." he said again and walked over to his own bed, sitting on his trunk he couldn't help but start laughing again.

"Who knew girls clothing was so bloody confusing." Stephen said exasperated. Honestly. Not only were the hosiery difficult to put on, they were quite tight in all the wrong places. Standing, he hunched over a bit looking at the most uncomfortable spot. He tried to smooth out his boxers under the tights, but apparently it was too much fabric. "No, I thought I'd wear a dress tomorrow. Of course it's for my costume." He threw the smaller pair at Terry.

Stephen removed the terribly uncomfortable garment, and put on his jeans. "I'll have to dig out a different pair of underwear I think, and maybe get a different size. I don't know how long I'll be able to stand them though. Not roomy at all!" He flopped back on his bed and tossed his quidditch catalouge in Terry's direction, a bit nicer this time.

Terry grinned at he attempted to smooth out his tights and boxers and laughed. "Well - I think you'd look wonderful in a dress Corny." he said in a girlish tone. But laughed instead. When Stephen threw a pair at him, he jumped back and grabbed them from his bed. "What're these for? I'm not wearing them." he said in a confused voice. Terry decided he might go as Peter Pan, and apparently Cornfoot knew. But he didn't want to try them on! How embarrassing would that be?!

"These are girl's tights Cornfoot, don't think they'll fit you." he said with a chuckle and unfolded his to see what they looked like. Stretching the legs out and then the waist he shoved them on his head and ran at Stephen. "Hi Stephen! I'm a bunny!" he said, bucking his teeth out and jumping around. Terry started to laugh and pulled them off. "Bloody hell..." he muttered with a grin.

Despite being the one caught trying on a pair, Stephen was more embarrassed when Terry put them on his head. "Do you even know who those belong to?" Stephen had no clue, but the more he thought about it the odder the notion became. He gathered up all three pairs and shoved them under his pillow.

"Maybe you should be a rabbit at the ball, I don't know what Hannah would be. DidyoureadFrobisherspaperbytheway?" The question ran together in an almost out of breath fashion. His date had just announced Terry and Hannah's fledgling relationship. Well if it was a relationship. Stephen was quite relieved when he had read nothing about himself.

When Stephen asked if he knew who they belonged to, Terry thought and shrugged. "I dunno, but they look small...so I'm guessing someone pretty." he said with a grin, balled them up and threw them at Stephen. "Here. Keep your girly acessories." he said with a laugh and sat on his bed again.

"A rabbit? That'd be mad!" he exclaimed and shook some hair out of his eyes. When Stephen asked if he'd read the paper, he hardly caught it but figured it out in his head. Terry nodded and looked at his lap. "Hannah probably did too." he said quietly and bit his lip. "But we're not dating." he added in. "I mean...I don't think we are." Terry quickly shot in and sighed. "I don't bloody know." he finished and ran a hand through his hair.

Lacing his hands behind his head, Stephen studied the ceiling. He licked his lips before he spoke. "Did you really get detention for snogging in the corridors? There's much better places for that." The last bit he said a bit quieter. Not that anyone was around, he just felt weird talking to Terry about snogging places. In all their years together, neither of them had ever really talked about it.

Scratching the back of his head, and then propping up on a elbow to look at Terry. "Do you like her?" Stupid question, Stephen thought. Of course he did. "I mean how much do you like her?"

Terry was surprised at Stephen's sudden question. Leaning back, he lied down on the bed and heaved a sigh. "I guess...it's not like we planned it or anything," he started and closed his eyes tightly. "It just...happened." he ended quietly and bit at his lip. He'd never talked to Stephen about this kind of stuff, and to be quite honest it was awkward. Terry seemed like he'd be the kind to snog a different girl everyday, but he didn't.

He felt Stephen's eyes on him and smiled. "What d'you think?" he asked with a small laugh and also propped himself up to look at him. "It's obvious isn't it?" he asked and raised a brow at him. Terry couldn't really believe they were having a real conversation, a serious conversation. They usually had them about teasing people, or just sarcastic things.

"Well, if it wasn't obvious before, it's certainly staring me in the face now." Stephen said and then chuckled. The laughed ended oddly short, and he tried to cover by taking a deep breath and then launching into a series of questions. "How long have you fancied her? I thought she had some sort of odd relationship with Summerby, is that over? Do you think you'll be serious after the dance?"

Stephen ran a hand through his hair. In all of his time at Hogwarts, he'd never been serious about a girl, nor had he really wanted to. The whole idea was a bit much for him. Of course he knew they were only seventeen so it wasn't like they'd rush out and get married or whatever. But they were seventeen, a time when, Stephen thought, you should explore every possible quality you might want in a mate.

Terry couldn't help but laugh as Stephen said that it was staring at him in the face. Flopping back down on the bed, he sighed and rubbed his face. Stephen had never been serious about relationships, and Terry knew this, meaning he knew why he was asking all these questions. "Cornfoot - I've liked her for a long time." he answered and laughed. "I think they're just good friends, she told me they'd known each other for a long time. And - to be honest, I don't think so." Terry finished with a sigh and rested his hands behind his head.

He didn't think they'd be together. Terry didn't know why - but he had a gut feeling. It could be that he was nervous, I mean, he could see them dating, but he didn't think it could happen. Terry's mind raced as the dorms were filled with silence. Biting at his lip he propped himself up. "Hey." he said suddenly. "Cornfoot - d'you think...d'you think we'll be together?" Terry asked in a nervous tone.

"Well, when she breaks your hear, I'm not picking up the peices." He threw a serious glance at Terry. A wide grin broke across his lips. Stephen never was any good at keeping a straight face, and trying to do so with Terry was nearly impossible. "I'm only kidding, you lout. If Abbot breaks your heart, I'll break her.... wand."

The smile faded from his fast as fast at had formed. Perhaps this really wasn't the right time for jokes, Stephen thought as he began unconsciously cracking his knuckles. "Do I think you and Abbot will be together? No clue, mate. Honestly. "

Terry smiled at Stephen's comment and kicked one of his shoes at him. "She won't mate. And if so - I can move on. I'm a big boy." he replied with a smile and kicked his other shoe at Stephen. They were all close, Stephen, Terry, and Michael. Terry knew if something did happen, they'd be there for him if he needed them or not. They were good to each other, and stuck together since their first year at Hogwarts.

He couldn't help but grin at Stephen cracking his knuckles. "Yeah..." he replied quietly and heaved a tired sigh. "I don't either mate...I really don't." Terry muttered and rubbed his face. "Either way I'll have to deal with you." he added in, just to make the conversation light. Terry laughed and looked at Stephen.

"Oof! Hey watch it." Stephen said as he was hit with first one shoe and he watched the second as it fell short of his bed. Kicking the first on to the floor, he screwed up his face at his friend. "Deal with me? I think you have it backwards. I have to deal with you."

Stephen checked his watch and sat up. It was nearly ten and he needed to finish a bit of reading before Charms in the morning. "You read the charms text?" He asked as he rummaged through his bag for his book.

Terry laughed and looked at Stephen. "Did I really?" he asked curiously and laughed. "Nah - you won't have to deal with me. I'll probably be dead because my heart broke." he said dramatically and fell backwards on the bed clutching his chest.

"Huh?" he questioned and then nodded. "Yep." he answered with a small smile and laughed. "You didn't did you?" Terry asked with an evil grin. "If you want me to help you..." he muttered and wrinkled his nose.

	Finally finding his text, he pulled it out and stuffed it under his arm. He kicked his bag under his bed and turned back toward Terry. "I just have to knock off a chapter. I think I'll do it in the common room. Most of the firsties have gone to bed already, you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Terry laughed and lay back onto his bed. "So - you're leaving me?" he asked and glanced up at where Stephen was. Terry knew he'd need a bit of help, and that he should go and help, but he didn't feel like getting up. Heaving himself up, he stood up and sighed. "Alright, I don't want to stay here with all these kids." he said quietly, grabbed his shoes, and threw them on his bed. His socks were now covered by his 'comfortable' shoes that he'd had for a while. They were slip ons, and slightly embarrassing looking, but he didn't care.
