"You move over there," Drew instructed, indicating that she needed to stand back. He didn't wait for her to actually comply before turning his atention to the table in the back of the room, calling it over to join it's twin with a wave of his hand. Like the other one had, the table legs scraped over the stone floor, the sound echoing in the high-ceilinged room.

Clank! Clunk! Clank! Clunk! Clank! Clunk!
"I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!" an excitable voice came from the tall imposing suit of armor as it hurried it's way into the room. It's manner and voice reminded one of Richard Simmons. All it needed was some curly hair and a pair of short shorts.
Stopping just short of the boy, the suit lifted it's hand in salute, then asked what he might like it to do.
All the while, a girl had followed the armor all the way here, stopping just outside the door and waiting for the okay to come in.

((I tried to IM you aim, but you're not on lol))
Victoria stepped back, but not as far as the boy had probably wanted. The moment the table started moving Victoria covered her ears. She watched patienly, unsure exactly what was happening.
The second table caming towards the other one. She turned to the boy to watch him, hoping he might give away a clue of what exactly he had in mind.

{I hate using AIM I'll see if I can find my icon to log in } Drew stopped what he was doing to lean over and peer around the suit of armor at Ari. "I meant my helmet and skate pads," he said with a small laugh. It actually wasn't as bad as it could have been. There were a number of interpretations that could be made when someone stated they would be needing some protection.

"Aaaah," Arianna stepped into the room and looked on Drew with understanding. She was trying her best to look like one who had misread what he had said, though clearly she hadn't if one noticed the pads strapped to her elbows and knees and the helmet upon her head. They were all a little too big and didn't sit quite right upon her frame.
"You really should be more specific," she claimed, shaking her head before stopping near the other girl and giving her a quick look over as she spoke. "Besides, I worry when you say you need 'protection'. And who's the new girl?"

Drew gave a small, nervous giggle when Ari used 'protection' and 'girl' in the same breath. He really couldn't help it that he was 16 and thought of these things.
He looked over at the girl and smiled sheepishly. He had been so focused on messing with her that he had overlooked the niceties of introducing himself. "Drew Thornton. Nice to meet you," he said, offering his hand.

Victoria smiled as Drew introduced himself. She forgot about the other girl as she listened to him talk.
"Hi..um..I'm Victoria." She said. She then snapped back to reality realizing that there were other people in the room. She waited to see what the girl would say now that her and Drew had just formally met each other.

A flick of her wrist and the suite of armour made it's way into a corner, where it perched itself upon a lone chair where it could watch and not get in the way.
"Allegra Thornton," Arianna replied, holding her hand out to the girl. She had a wide grin on her face, apparently happy with herself that she had thought to do the old 'give the wrong name' trick Drew usually did. Of course, now she'd have to come up with a reason for having the same last name as Drew when they looked absolutely nothing alike. "It's very nice to meet you, Victoria. I hope you enjoy your stay."

Victoria shook the girls hand, noticing Allegra had the same last name as Drew.
"It's nice to meet you too." Victoria said to Allegra.
"So are you guys brother and sister?" Victoria said with a smile. She didn't think much of it. Siblings often went to Hogwarts together.

Drew was a little surprised that Ari gave his sister's name, but went with it. He nodded in response to Victoria, not really lying. He considered most of the girls in his house sisters, Ari probably more so. That added to the fact that his parents had actually almost adopted her...
No, not really a lie at all.

Victoria smiled.
"That's cool. I never would have guess, you guys don't look like each other at all." Victoria gave a small laugh.
"So do we get to see what all this work was?" Victoria said, bringing her attention back to the tables in front of them. She wasn't exactly sure why Drew's sister had joined them, but she didn't bother to ask.

"Husband and wife," Arianna deadpanned. Man, she was on a roll. Of course, if Victoria cared to notice, Arianna didn't have a ring. Which either meant Drew had never given her one, or she had forgotten to put it back on after she had been flirting with Dan (which really translates into bugging the boy). Her only worry was that this would get back to Alhana. Arianna wasn't sure joking like this would pass as just that in the Gryffindor's eyes.

Victoria's jaw dropped. Realizing it, she quickly regained composure. She was surprised to hear anyone at hogwarts was actually married.
Victoria then looked at both of their hands, realizing neither was wearing a ring.
"Drew, you don't have a ring though?" She had become a bit curious at this point. Drew had shook his head to say they were brother and sister, but Allegra said they were married. Victoria wasn't sure who to believe. She felt like she had no idea what was going on. She sure hoped someone would clue her in soon enough.

Drew snorted at that bit, shaking his head at the absurdity of the answer.
"Not one you can see at least" Drew answered Victoria, lining up the tables manually before pulling his wand and twirling it between his fingers as he took a few steps back. He had actually never tried this particular spell before, but was still pretty confident it would work.

Victoria was completely lost at the point. She was actually at a loss for word. She sighed lightly and watch Drew twirl his wand between his fingers. She wasn't sure if she actually felt like pushing the topic anymore. She dropped it. Wondering what to expect now. It had been quite and odd night for her overall. She felt lost. A little kid who had no idea what was going on around them. She pushed the feeling aside.
