Krissy was glad when Pat had caught onto her plan. She hd been worried for a moment and didn't think he had gotten her plan. But luckily, he had.
Krissy looked at reina as she spoke. "Ain't no way" Krissy said sternly looking back to Pat "That I will ever nominate the hufflepuff's to help you out, if they wanna its their choice" Krissy was stubbourne about this point. "This deal here is between you and me Reina, you leave the rest of the out of it" She was still very hungry but her morals came before everything. Her eyes kept on Reina. She knew this was a lost cause. This was not going to work.
"Erk" Krissy said shaking her head. She was done barganing with Reina. She began to undo her robes, so that she could take it off and just be in her normal school skirt and shirt. She was planning to attempt to swim through this muck.

Reina watched Krissy. She had alredy planned for some students swimming through. If the alligators and snakes didn't scare them off then the swamp wouldn't let them go anywhere. They would swim and swim, but not move an inch and then when they put their feet down they will slowly sink into the ground. There will be no rescuing who ever was brave or dumb enough try and swim across. Did Reina mention this to Krissy, nope. That would give away that she knew too much about swamp. Besides if the lake offed Krissy that would be one less Huffle she had to worry about.
"So you and Pat will grant me a favor then?"

Pat took a step closer to the water, although he was careful to not get to the point where his feet would sink into the mud. He didn't really like Reina's proposition all that much, and was about to protest it when Krissy spoke up first. He smiled at her words; although she wasn't prefect anymore, she still cared about the whole of Hufflepuff.
He wasn't quite so impressed when she began preparing to swim across. "Krissy," he said, "I'd prefer if you didn't need to swim across this mess. No point really." He then cocked his head toward Reina, looking at her. "You're not gettin' any favors though, Reina." He had no idea what kind of favor she might ask of them, but he suspected that he'd rather not know.

Drew came down the steps munching on one of the apples he usually kept in his pocket. He wasn't that far down the staircase when he smelled the the awful stench. A few more steps and he saw the set-up, including Reina negotiationg with the Huffles.
"Okay! Who pooted?" he cried out in a loud voice from the steps above the badgers.

"You don't want to be owing Reina anything," Allegra told the Huffles in a low voice. Of course she knew that Krissy knew this, but Allegra wanted to make sure she remembered.
Her brother came behind them and made his little announcement and Allegra had to smile. Even with her nose plugged it did still smell something awful.

Kissy was hlad Pat answered Reina because Krissy was ready to strangle the gil. She was hungry and being deprived of food was just not cool. She didn't acknowledge Pat at first. She thought she could get accross the swamp. But she heard Drew's voice behind her. She turned to see the boy and couldn't help but laugh at his comment. But she grumbeled when she noticed the apple in his hand. "Darn you Drew..." she said turning back away from him and looknig at the swamp once more. She didn't bother to explain her comment, she figured someone else could if he asked.
She also heard Allegra's comment and looked back at her. "I know.. thats why I'm not gunna..."
She had finally undid her robes and pulled it off, handing it to Pat. She was just in her skirt and shirt now. "I'm hungry..." she said to him in a complaining kinda voice. She said down on one of the steps that wasn't covered in mud and began untieing her shoes.

"Then here," Drew told Krissy, digging into his pocket and pulling out his other emergency apple. A swampy first floor was definitely an emergency and there was no way Drew was going to let a friend try and cross it. "I got more in the Common Room."
Heck, if Reina was bribing people to cross, maybe he could get something for not having to cross.

Pat took Krissy's robes when she handed them to him, but he still didn't think it a good idea. He thought he'd seen some snakes in there, maybe even a gator as well; he didn't consider Krissy becoming gator bait a good thing. He was going to continue arguing when he heard Drew. Turning around, Pat saw that he was offering Krissy an apple he'd had. Pat smiled at him in thanks; perhaps this would keep Krissy from heading through the swamp, if reasoning with her wouldn't.

Krissy turned to Drew as he handed her an apple "Ohhhh thank you" she said taking it willingly. She didn't even bother to question why he had an apple in his pocket, or anything like that. She took a huge bite out of the apple and began munching on it. Drew was lucky. His common room was upstairs. Her's on the other hand was down, she would have to wait until the swamp was gone before she returned. Or until she ran out of food and definately needed to swim through it.
She remained sitting on the step and munching on her apple. She could see Reina not liking this. Krissy probably would have done almost anything for food. She was really hungry. But for now, the apple was making her happy. She kept quiet munching on the apple.

Reina shrugged and let the boat drift away from them. She was getting annoyed with the hufflepuffs and she was sure it showed on her face and in her voice.
"Look, nothing in life is free. You won't give me dark secrets, you owe me a favor, and you won't give me information on anything and I didn't even push the 2 galleons. So then swim across if you can. I don't care."
Reina really did want to see Krissy sink into the water. She wasn't sure if she would drown, but one other person at died at the school why not one more. Reina laughed at her own thought and watched the group.
"I'm not even asking for anything big or special and yet your making it seem like a big deal."
Reina leaned on her hands in the book and tried to look as innocent as possible.

"So name some specifics," Drew called out, still munching on his apple. He had taken a seat on the steps to watch the action play out and while he had no intention of giving Reina anything, he was curious about what her demands were. "Exactly what will it take to get us across the swamp?"

Krissy remained quiet but grinned over at Drew. She was quite content with the apple. But Reina's comment about swimming accross if they could sounded to Krissy as though they wouldn't be able to. Which did make Krissy want to try. She didn't like people telling her what she could and couldn't do. But for the moment, she wasn't moving from her seat on the steps. She was going to munch on her apple. And anyway, she wanted to see how well Drew bargained with Reina. Krissy wanted to see how well he did. She knew she hadn't done that well, but when shes hungry Krissy doesnt have the patiance to deal with people getting in her way. She had been tempted to curse Reina, but had held back. For that moment anyway..

Cameron remaine the quiet one. She just watched and listened. Finally saying something, Cameron sighed. "Come on Reina! I'm bloody hungry."Cameron said atlast. She speaks! haha Cameron thought. Her blonde hair was straight and sort of wavy. Cam looked at Drew, then to Krissy, then to Pat, an then back at Reina. Reina wasn't going to let anyone pass unless they bargained or paid the two galleons. Cam groaned.

Drew looked at Cameron but didn't say anything as he wondered if the girl was deaf or she had just gone dumb for a moment. He had already said he had food and he obviously wasn't against sharing it with friends.
But if she wanted to be beholden to Reina, that was her perogative.

Reina shrugged at Drew. He wanted specifics and Reina didn't have any. Any information was fine with her.
"I don't have any specifics. Anything you think I might be interested in or 2 galleons. Either is up to you. I truly don't care which you do. Why do you have something on somebody?"
Reina perked up ready to listen.
