"It's all right," she told him about tripping her. Felicity just hadn't expected him to be in the way like that, if anything, she expected him to be standing in front of the door, not positioned like he was, plus, with a skirt on, it just really wasn't a good thing to go around being tripped up.
"Who said I read anything?" she asked with a smile. "I was talking about the urinals." Felicity didn't tell him what had been interesting, though he'd guessed correctly about what she was thinking. "No, seriously, there was some really mean things written in there. Not all of it was, some of it was pretty interesting, but it's not very nice to write such things."
The one thing that she had found to be most interesting was what she'd read about Drew, or what she assumed was about Drew. "I've a question though, what do you like best in the Room of Requirement?"
It was an innocent question, she hadn't understood what it meant. Thornton likes it best in the Room of Requirement.

Drew answered with an slightly embarassed laugh, not really finding urinals all that interesting. Of course he had assumed the writing.
"Yeah... guys can get kind of graphic," he told her, knowing that some of the really bad stuff was in the stalls. The house elves took care of a lot of it, but the things that stayed up were usually in Permanently Permanent Ink or carved in with a spell.
But her question struck him as oddly random, switching from the bathroom to the Room of Requirement. "I don't know... there's a lot of stuff I like to do in there," he told her with a confused shrug. That was the point of the room-- you could have anything you wanted in there.

Graphic wasn't really the word for it, it wasn't terrible things written, but it could've been said in much nicer ways. And it wasn't as though she was expecting an apology from Drew about it, it wasn't his fault it was there, or at least she didn't think it would be, none of it looked to really be in his handwriting.
Then he didn't really answer question, of course she knew the point of the room, but for it to be written on the wall, Felicity wanted to know what it was. It could've been a lot of things, he could've liked playing board games best in there, or even something else, she really didn't know. It hadn't even occurred to her it might not have been speaking of Drew at all.
"Well, I was asking because someone made mention of it in there," she jerked her head towards where she'd just come from. "It said you liked it best in the room of requirement, and I wanted to know what it was."

"Wait... it said I liked it best in the room of requirement?" Drew echoed, first finding the fact that he was mentioned on the boy's room wall a bit disconcerting. Guys rarely wrote about other guys in there unless they were insinuating that a particular person didn't like girls. And if you were going to say something like that about another guy, it usually wasn't the room of requirement where the guy liked it.
Unless that was a new euphimism that Drew didn't know about. If he thought about it, maybe that would work if the guy swung that way.

Nodding, she looked at him a bit concerned. That's what it had said, and even then, she wasn't sure what it really was, but with the tone of voice he used, it sounded like he did. Why wasn't he telling her then? Sure, there had a been a few nastier comments made, but really, it could mean many things. Just because it'd been among a few things that weren't very nice, didn't mean the note was supposed to be like one of those things.
"It said 'Thornton likes it best in the Room of Requirement,' she repeated the message aloud. Thornton was Drew's last name, therefore, it had to have been him, right? Felicity didn't know anyone else with the name of Thornton, and she was pretty sure he was the only student with the name.
"So, what does it mean?" she asked, not willing to let it go just yet.

"Thornton likes it in the Room of Requirement?" Drew echoed and without waiting for a response, he slammed the door open to find the scribbling. "That's not me! That's my SISTER!" Since she had graduated he hadn't really been looking for stuff about Allegra (she hadn't ever had much anyway) so it was kind of understandable why it had been overlooked. Why some creepy guy was writing stuff about his sister though was beyond Drew.

Drew's response was really quite unexpected, slamming the door open in such a motion, really, with the amount of people around, he was lucky no one was shooting hexes in their direction. Eyes wide, she followed him in, wondering why in the world it was suddenly so important when she'd been talking about it and it hadn't been before. Whether it was his sister or him, it still didn't answer her question.
"Well, then what does your sister best like there?" she changed her question around. It hadn't occurred that it was talking about Allegra, but really, either way, she wanted to know what was best liked in the Room of Requirements.

"She doesn't like anything best in there! She doesn't like that best anywhere!" he cried out, feeling like he was reciting a perverted version of Green Eggs and Ham.
At least he was pretty sure she hadn't. And he was positive none of the guys she had dated in the past would write something like that. The Quidditch guy? Too old to do something so juvinile. Kellen? No way, not in a million years. That Chris guy? Maybe, especially since Allegra had kind of dumped him, but the Huffle didn't seem to be the type. Plus, the guy had left ages ago.
He tried his best to rub it out, but of course it persisted. He'd need a wand to remove it and even though it was his sister, he didn't dare pull the wand from his sock. He'd have to come back after this was over and try to get rid of it.

Now, Felicity was even more confused. It was quite obvious he knew what it meant, being the way he was yelling about it, but she still didn't understand why he was being so defensive about it. It could mean many things, and he wasn't helping her to figure it out by the way he was yelling it all out. Then he began rubbing at it like it was something terrible to be written somewhere.
"Drew, you're confusing me," she blatantly told him, really not liking feeling that way. And on such a day to be feeling that way, it wasn't the best, and she still needed to find a girl. "All it says is one of you like it best in there, I just wanted to know what it was. I was thinking something like playing cards, but you sure are acting really weird for it to be something like that."
Even to Felicity it was obvious enough it wasn't cards with the way he was acting. And he must have known what it was, being he'd said she didn't like that anywhere. But what did it, or that, mean?

"Me? I haven't done it anywhere either!" Drew shot back, too upset by the situation to realize he hadn't answered her question. Whether it was him or his sister, he knew it wasn't true.
And under normal situations he probably wouldn't be announcing that he was less experienced than some of the other guys, but it was Felicity. She had to know that he hadn't gone there, despite the rumors that had floated around about him and Alhana.

Blinking blankly at him, she didn't really know what to think. Now he was yelling at here for asking about what it meant, and it was even more confusing to her. Really, she had no idea what Drew was talking about, or what the message said, she just wanted to know what it or that was. It couldn't be something horrible, and he was acting as though it really was.
Frustration was working its way up now too, and on top of the already set-in confusion, she just didn't know what to think. "Drew, I don't know what you're talking about and I really don't like that you're yelling at me."
Turning away from him, she folded her arms across her chest. She didn't like that he was yelling at her when she didn't understand it and she didn't want to yell back, not when they'd just had a fight. The blonde really didn't like their spats all too much, though sometimes she didn't mind, but she didn't want to go into another one so soon.
"I was just asking what it meant," she stated softly.

He hadn't even realized that he had raised his voice and with the echo it probably sounded worse.
And now he had gone an made her mad and he wasn't really sure why other than he had gotten frustrated and yelled. "I wasn't yelling at you," Drew said, trying his best to soften his tone. "I'm sorry. I just got... I don't want you to think... I haven't... I never... not yet... okay?"

Turning back around to look at him, the confusion was evident in her eyes. No, she wasn't mad, she just didn't like that he'd been yelling at her, or at least it seemed like he was, and now she just didn't know what to think about what he was going on about.
"I don't understand what your saying," she told him. "What don't you want me to think? What haven't you done?" That was about all she could get out of his jumbled words, the rest were just plain confusing. He got something, he didn't want her to think something, he hadn't ever done something, never, she really didn't understand.

"I don't want you to think I've gone that far," he said, looking at her worriedly. They both knew he was more experienced, but even then, he wasn't all that more experienced. Truth was he wasn't even sure he had made it to second base.
"... Or my sister, actually. I mean, I don't think she has," he clarified. "It's not like we talk about it or anything, but I know she hadn't when she was dating Kellen... and the guy she's dating now... I don't think she'd do that so soon."

"Gone that far?" she asked, raising an eyebrow and shaking her head. Now what in the world was he talking about? He wasn't helping her confusion very much, but at least her frustration had pretty much evaporated. Now it was a matter of clearing up what he was talking about in terms that she'd understand.
"You don't think your sister has what?" Drew spoke about Allegra now and again, but she didn't know who Kellen was. Felicity was pretty sure he'd told her she was dating someone at one point or other, but it didn't help much in making her understand.
"Drew, I still don't get it. I don't know what the means," she pointed in the direction of the note. "And I really don't understand what you're talking about."
