"Probably. I lent her one of my dad's books the other day about the history of Quidditch. Maybe she's into that?"
Giovanni sighed. "Yes. Again."

"It wouldn't surprise me, although I couldn't think of anything more ghastly," Tessa replied, stifling a yawn.

"God, you're so irresponsible... It's a wonder you're still able to make us sandwiches and pick out our textbooks. You really need to learn to control yourself. It's not healthy."

"You know, this isn't exactly normal for me," Giovanni snapped. "The last time I got drunk like this was about a year ago. Stop acting as if I've got no self-control, because I do. And I'd think that sobriety for that long would have proved it by now."
Ricardo narrowed his eyes. For a moment, he saw the hollow in the boy's eyes. That small emptiness of something... missing. Is he...? "Whoa, calm down. It's not--"
"I will not calm down! Don't you think I've been trying to quit? I know I have a problem! But it doesn't help that when I've fallen on my face once, I'm suddenly completely irresponsible! And don't you tell me it's not that bad. At least I'm not that quiet about being a drunk as you are about the fact that you are a HOMOSEXUAL AND WILL NOT TELL ANYBODY BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS IF ANYONE WILL REALLY CARE ANYWAY!" By now there were tears in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, he stormed off, trembling.

Jane sighed. "Fine, Giovanni. Excuse me for caring." She slid down the bench, away from the group.
Vincent looked up at the girl that was now across from him. He didn't dare move though, otherwise he'd just make things more awkward than they already were.

Ricardo stared for a few seconds, shaking slightly before grabbing the coffee cup that Giovanni had just abandoned. Quickly, he took a sip, almost spitting it out in disgust. "This is spiked. Whiskey and... Veratiserum, I think. Someone spiked his drink."

Tessa stared, lips parted for a few moments before she blinked, snapping out of it. "I'll go and talk to him," she murmured, getting to her feet quickly.

Ricardo held the coffee mug in his hand, shaking slightly. "He came downstairs with this. Said it was by him this morning. Someone set this whole thing up." He removed the wand from his pocket, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Elizabeth Russe was sitting in the hallway between the Great Hall and the halls to the Hufflepuff commons. She smiled in satisfaction, turning a page in her book. So that was the big secret. Satisfactory, for what she had just done. Giovanni Russe should have known not to cross her. Or underestimate her, for that matter. And if he came to his senses, it was the word of a raving drunk against hers. Just the way she liked. Checkmate.

"Calm down," she sighed, placing her hand on his shoulder briefly before hurrying after Giovanni, shaking her head to clear the reminiscent scent of ylamg-ylang and sandalwood that had pervaded it moments ago. The sudden thought occurred to her that her mother sometimes poured the essential oils into her bathwater when she was upset about something.

Jane buried her face in her hands. "I've just made things worse, haven't I?"
Vincent grew uncomfortable when he realized she was talking to him. "I, uh..."
"I mean, he's my cousin! What am I supposed to do, let him keep drinking like this? I know it's been a long time since this has happened, but still! He drinks more than he should."

Elizabeth looked up. Someone's coming. Quickly, she darted off to the Hufflepuff's hallway. Her entire plan couldn't be ruined now. Not yet. Hastily, she checked her pockets to make sure that she hadn't left any of the bottles of Veratiserum behind. One, two, three... There were four. I left one!
Ricardo slammed the mug down, heading off in the opposite direction. His wand seemed to pick up on his rage as scarlet light began to flicker at the tip.

Tessa cast a worried look back at Ricardo as she continued towards the door, pushing it open and glancing out either way. I wonder which way he went...

"Well, uh...you tried?" Vincent offered. "I don't think he meant to yell that loudly..."
Jane shrugged. "I dunno..." she said doubtfully, looking up. "I'm Jane, by the way. Sorry I got you involved in this."

Elizabeth winced as one of the bottles rolled towards Tessa's feet. Quickly, she scampered to the common room. Hopefully she doesn't suspect me! How will she, anyway? She's just a dumb, ditzy, self-centered little--

The Ravenclaw blinked as the glass bottle hit her foot, and it suddenly dawned on her what it was. She lifted her head, aware of the sound of quick footsteps, and hurried after them, hazel eyes wide.

Elizabeth quickly disappeared into the room, the last sounds of fast footsteps behind her vanishing. She breathed a sigh of relief. Thank god she didn't see me.

Hufflepuff. Tessa thought, drawing to a halt outside the entrance to the common room. They were a Hufflepuff. I wonder if anyone in there can let me know who last entered... Mind whirring, the girl sat down, leaning back against the wall. Someone would have to leave the room soon enough.

Elizabeth quickly brushed her hair, putting on a new sweater in case Tessa got a glimpse of her. She wouldn't suspect someone who just walked out a few seconds after someone ran in, right? She exited the common room with a loud (fake) yawn.

She stood quickly. "Elizabeth, thank God! Quickly, who was the last person to enter the common room?"

"I didn't see," she lied, eyes widening. "They were running really fast. Do you know what that was all about?"
