Broomcloset Blues

[Sora Blake]

"Y-Yeah, I'm okay." he said, poking he eye, wincing slightly. That was definitely going to be a mark in the morning. He looked over at Ivy, concerned slightly, "What about you? Are you okay?"

After that question, silenced reigned throughout the room. He really didn't know what else to say to the girl that he had accidentally...touched inappropriately. Say sorry?

...Well...he could probably say sorry but he really didn't know how to word something like that. It would probably cause what little left of his brain after today to explode.

...Silence...

...

"Sooo..." Sora said, hating the uncomfortable silence, "Wanna play 'I Spy'?"

[cappuccino]

Ivy stopped focusing on her headache and turned her attention to Sora. She blinked at him a few times before breaking into a small smile. There was something very sweet about Sora that she couldn’t quite understand. Ivy was surprised to see Sora in such a way. In class, she thought he seemed kind quiet, a bit out of it and tough… but in actuality, he acted like a sweet, little boy Ivy used to know when she was a kid.

Sora reminded Ivy of her old childhood friend, Christian. Christian often put up the strong and silent type; he was the kid on the playground that got into the fights with the “big kids”. One day, Christian bumped into Ivy—making her drop her precious strawberry ice cream into the sandbox. Christian, the tough kid, didn’t know what to do when faced with Ivy’s tears. He did his best to scoop up the ruined ice cream from the sand, and put it back into Ivy’s ice cream cone with an awkward smile. It was kind of like Sora… beneath his rough exterior, she could see an awkward smile.

“It’s all dark in here…” Ivy said softly.

[Sora Blake]

...Yeah, the room being dark was going to put a damper on their 'I Spy' game., "It's not that dark..." he mumbled, twiddling his thumbs in boredom. He stopped for a moment before he stared at the outline of Ivy's body, dumbfounded,

"Wait...you're a witch..." he said stupidly, not knowing how else to phrase it, "Use your wand to light up the room..."

He sighed, wondering how long they would stay in the room along with the unconcious midget gnome thing. Hopefully, Ivy wouldn't faint as much. It would be lonely all by his lonesome.

[cappuccino]

Ivy often forgot obvious things, and it had been seven years since she discovered that she was capable of magic. She took out her wand and silently, the wand illuminated the entire broom closet from its tip. She looked around the room, there really wasn't much to use for their little game... maybe Sora should go first.

She looked at Sora expectantly. "Well-- what're we waiting for, Sora?" She shifted her position and accidentally kicked the gnome again. "Oops," she made a weird face, as to show that she didn't mean to kick him.

A rumbling sound from the closet echoed on the room. Ivy looked down at her stomach, blushed and grinned sheepishly at Sora. Rubbing the back of her head timidly, she laughed softly, "Ahh... looks like I'm a bit hungry..."

[Sora Blake]

As a little child, Sora always had a sort of one track mind. When he was doing something, he often forget what he was doing just moments ago. He had learned to forget about this flaw but, unfortunately, just as Ivy had told him he was hungry, his stomach growled in agreement with her own, a much louder sound of hunger.

"Ugh, dammit Ivy. You just had to say that, didn't you?" he said, throwing a annoyed glaze over at the Hufflepuff girl, "Ugh, I'd forgotten I was hungry till you had to say that..."

[cappuccino]

Ivy looked down sadly, "I'm sorry, okay! But our problem is: We're two hungry, seventh years stuck in a stupid broomcloset that has no food... what should we do?"

She put her hand over her stomach and looked at Sora, as if he had all the answers. "Well--you had that pan... and we have a gnome." Ivy almost gagged at the thought and quickly added, "Wait-- I'm not that hungry."

Her stomach growled again. "Aye... this is bad, I get really cranky when I get hungry..." she muttered under her breath. She stood up and looked around the broomcloset for food.

[Sora Blake]

Sora nodded, looking at both the pan and the unconscious gnome with distaste. He wasn't that hungry but if they were going to be stuck in the broomcloset for a while, he wasn't going to make any promises.

He heard her mumble under her breath about her being cranky. He didn't want her to be cranky. Her being cranky would lead to Sora being annoyed which would then probably lead to two outcomes: Murder or suicide.

He sighed as he shoved his hands into his pockets. He felt something rectangular that he didn't remember putting. He partially took it out and was amazed to find a chocolate bar! He had forgotten that he had placed it in his pocket in the morning. After all, getting stuck in a broomcloset may lead to forgetting things.

He eyed Ivy and he pocketed the chocolate bar. He whistled innocently, having no intentions of sharing the chocolaty goodness with the Hufflepuff.

[cappuccino]

Ivy's stomach was practically roaring at this point. She winced and sobbed a bit. "Ai-yah... tien ah!" she complained. "I'm so hungry... I think I'm going to die!" she said dramatically; but the girl truthfully believed it. She looked at Sora hungrily and wearily. The hunger that was growing inside her made her think weird. Secretly, she knew that she would be willing to kill Sora if she had to.

She shook her head. "Ivy Xin is NOT a cannibal!!" she shouted out loud. Ivy hadn't meant to say it and her eyes shifted. Oops. Sora was not supposed to hear that. So hungry... she needed to find food for her and Sora. They couldn't die here.

Besides, if Sora had found food-- he would have shared it with Ivy. They were here together, and they would work together to stay alive in the harsh element of the broomcloset. She would take care of him, just as he would take care of her? Right??

Ivy rummaged through a pile of stuff and managed to find a can of soup. Problem was... there was no can opener and spoons. She held it out to Sora, "Look! It's a can of chicken noodle soup! Er... Sora, do you know a spell to open cans? Aye... Sora, you look so pale.**"

((** reference to new avatar))

[Sora Blake]

Sora was having the same thoughts that currently flowed in Ivy's mind. The chocolate bar would only last him a few moments before he got hungry again. He eyed Ivy's arm as it called out to him, stomach rumbling as he basically drooled. It looked so tasty and yummy...

Sora jumped as she shouted causing the chocolate bar in his pocket to fly out. It landed with a small thump on the wooden floor, "Ah, my chocolate bar!!!" he yelled out before moving towards it slowly. He stopped as he remembered that he wasn't the only one in the room. He looked back at Ivy as he nervously rubbed the back of his head, a usual thing he did when he was in these type of predicaments,

"Erm...Did I say chocolate bar? I meant 'Ah, my thing that's definitely NOT a chocolate bar!!!'" he said, a stupid look on his face.

He hoped that she fell for it-

-which basically showed that he was a total idiot.

[cappuccino]

Ivy blinked at the chocolate bar on the ground. She looked at Sora in slight confusion and it took her a moment for her to register in Ivy’s mind. The soup can melted in Ivy’s hands out of her pure anger. Uh oh, Sora seemed to trigger Ivy’s unintentional use of magic. Her hair lifted off of her shoulders as she stood up angrily and her green eyes glowed.

Her usually high and cheery voice had changed to a low, rumbling, and commanding sound. “YOU’D KEEP FOOD FROM ME?!?!” she boomed. “AND HERE I’D THOUGHT THAT WE’D TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. SHAME ON YOU BLAKE!”

Ivy turned to normal and tried to kicked Sora away and attempted to grab the precious chocolate bar savagely from the ground. “Nyeh! Mine!” she squeaked greedily as she reached for it. “Precioussssss!”

[Sora Blake]

Sora's lack of food and sugar seemed to put him on edge. When Ivy took his chocolate bar, it seemd that he finally fell off the edge. His eyes widened as she squealed, one which shouldn't be used as a model-in-training, and grabbed the bar off the floor. His. Bar. Of. Chocolate.

He was going to share it with her...Okay, maybe he wasn't but she would've probably done the same thing too in his position. He drew his wand and pointed it at the unconcious dwarf,

"Touch that chocolate bar and I'll 'Ennervate' this sucker and set him on you!" he yelled, eyes set on the chocolate bar in her hand, "DON'T TEST ME! I'M ON EDGE HERE!!!" he yelled crazily followed by his mad laugh which was unbecoming of him,

"BWAHAHAHAAHAHAHA."

He had to work on his mad laugh.

[cappuccino]

"You're mad!!" Ivy said hypocritically. "Two can play this game, Blake!" she hissed, baring her perfect teeth. This was definitely not a good day for either of the seventh years. Those green almond shaped eyes narrowed at the Slytherin. Ivy already had the chocolate bar at hand. She opened her mouth wide and pointed the chocolate towards her already opened mouth.

"Enervate that little bugger and I'm going to eat the chocolate whole..." she said threatningly. "So, lemme ask you something Blake-- are you feeling lucky, punk? Huh?! ARE YOU?!" she demanded. "ANSWER ME, GODDAMNIT!"

There was something shiny on the ground that caught Ivy's attention. "Ooh! Look a sickle!" She picked it up and pocketed it and quickly retained her threatning pose. "You and I both know I'm crazy enough to do it. Don't you test me, boy! YOU DON'T WANNA TEST ME! I'm on P-frickin'-MS, okay?!"

At this point, Ivy was bustin' a freakin' vein on her forehead. It almost looked like something from the old crappy anime, Dragon Ball Z.

[Sora Blake]

They were at a standstill. One didn't have to be a genius in order to figure that out. His wand was still trained at the unconcious gnome while she was poised to stick the chocolate bar down her mouth. He found it a bit barbaric that the chocolate bar still had the wrapper around it and she was ready to eat it. She must be extremely hungry to do that,

"Alright...I can see this going two ways." Sora said simply, eyes still trained at the chocolate bar, "You eat the bar and I 'ennervate' the gnome or the opposite. Either way...you lose in both ways. Give the bar to me and I'll share some with you...You have my word as a Slytherin." he said truthfully.

[cappuccino]

His word as a Slytherin? Last time a Slytherin said it, Moaning Myrtle died. She narrowed her eyes even further, lowering the chocolate bar slightly. “How about you put that gnome down, and I break the chocolate in half…” she said skeptically. She really didn’t want to give the chocolate bar up yet. She was willing to share with him, but… did she really know if he was willing to share with her?

All they needed now was the gnome to threaten to destroy the chocolate with his gnome powers, and then it’d be a Mexican standoff. Too bad the gnome was out like a light.

[Sora Blake]

Sora contemplated the choice for a moment as he continued to point his wand at the gnome. He really didn't want to share, after all it was his chocolate bar to begin with, but he knew that he would lose against her. He slightly lowered his wand as he sighed,

"Fine, fine, cut it in half but evenly!" he said, stressing the last two words. If she had the slightest bit more then the the gloves would be taken off and the gnome would be 'ennervated'. His stomach grumbled as he placed his wand back inside his sleeve.
