"Whatever," Arianna grumbled. Reaching over, she grasped her blanket and tugged at it, hoping Ash would get the picture. She wasn't sure the girl would, though, so she added, "Can I have my blanket back?"
So there you had it. It looked as though all three of them would be spending what was left of the night in the common room, awake.

She frowned at Drew and finally gave a grunt. Ash didn't really know what to say-- she never had super-sensitive ears- what was he talking about? She rolled over so that she was on her back, although didn't find it anymore comfortable than when she was on her side.
She nodded at Arianna and threw her her blanket. Ash stared blankly at the ceiling, hoping to zone out or something. Nothing happened so she began to hum Brittany Spear's Opps I Did It Again. As you can see, she was quite bored and tired- but restless at the same time.

"Thank you," Arianna muttered to the silence. Grabbing her pillow and blanket, she next moved to another chair across from Drew's. It wasn't as comfortable as the couch, but it would have to do. Unless she'd rather be poisoned by the tune of Spear's.
"You got anything besides cookies over there?" she asked the boy, trying to ignore the quiet snatches of the song she could still hear. Arianna was sure she would keel over if she had to listen to it any longer, but didn't want Ash to fall apart on them tonight. Not only would she be tired tomorrow, but she'd also feel terrible that she had made someone cry.

Drew had been somewhat of a Brittany fan when he was about eight and had unconsciously picked up the tune Ash was humming as he reached into the cupboard and pulled out a bag of crisps. "Will this work?" he asked, taking a break during the refrain.

((I think it's actually spelt Britney )) "Yes," Arianna replied as she accepted the bag. At least the crunching would drown out the noise that seemed to have turned up in volume. The was just great. It was bad enough to listen to Ash humming the tune, but now Drew, too? Arianna wondered if she should tromp back upstairs and try again with the sleeping. At least she'd be more comfortable.

((T_T don't mind the randomness in this post, I just woke up x.x))
My God, Ash was out of her mind tonight. She hardly cared to put up a face, instead she said whatever came to mind. As Drew began to hum also, she began to laugh (in happiness, not at him.) She hadn't listened to Britney Spears since she was about seven or eight-- it didn't matter, the songs were still good even though it was embarrassing to admit these days. She sat up on the couch, " Arianna! Come sing with us." she beamed, still tired.
Ash didn't wait for an answer when she had thought of a great idea. Rushing to the Girls dormitories and back with a boombox and wand in her hands. She had kind of just borrowed it without asking from Judy... Ash set the boombox down on the floor and gave a flick of her wand to it. It began to play Opps I did it Again. She gave a wide smile and chanted, "Muffliato" in the direction of the two dormitories. "Lets dance!"

Drew looked up at her with an odd expression on his face, wondering what she was even thinking. Under normal circumstances, he would have been the first one up and dancing, but it was two in the morning and he was tired.
"It's Britney Spears..." he said wrinkling his lip and still having no clue he had been humming her song just a minute ago.

She turned her head to Drew's direction and frowned, " Oh, you're no fun sometimes." She said to him playfully. She knew perfectly well that it was Britney Spears she was dancing to, but who really cared? Ash would never dream do this if she wasn't half asleep-- it almost seemed as if she was a whole different person, but she wasn't.
She took her wand, pretending it was a microphone, and began to sing, " Opps I did it again,! I played with your heart but I lost in the game!-- Opps you think I'm in love, that I'm sent from aboooove, I'm not that innocent!"

Drew had to laugh... yes at Ash. She looked absolutely ridiculous singing a lame song like that so early in the morning.
And while the swelling had gone down some, the after effect of the potion she had been drenched with made her look funnier. "For some reason, you just aren't cutting it, Xin," he teased.

Ash stopped at glanced at Drew, he was actually laughing... She had never seen him laugh-- ever! This was amazing, she smiled, not caring that it was her that he was laughing at. She didn't really understand it when he had said she wasn't cutting it, so she decided to ignore it. " You're laughing, Drew!" she said beaming, " You know... its good to laugh." Ash said, knowing that she didn't laugh much either. Usually it was because she didn't understand what the joke was all about.
" Well... if I'm not 'cutting it', then why don't you guys dance with me?" she said looking from Arianna to Drew with a stupid grin playing across her face.

It happens, Ash," Drew answered, thinking that was an odd comment from the younger girl. Sure, it didn't usually happen so early in the morning or when people were yelling at him, but it did happen quite often.
"I'm not dancing to anything Britney Spears," Drew scoffed. "What else you got there?"

She raised an eyebrow and mumbled something about him not caring it was Britney Spears a moment before. Ash shrugged and tossed her CD case to Drew. It seemed that he was familiar with muggle stuff, so she trusted him with them. "Anything manly enough for you in there?" she asked teasingly.
She didn't know what he'd find, she just randomly took CD's off the shelves at the store. Ash never cared what she listened to when it came to music.

Drew flipped through the CDs finding an eclectic selection in his hands. Everything from classical to hard-core metal was there and Drew had to laugh again as he saw some of the titles.
He selected a CD he liked and slipped it out of the sleeve, looking over at Ari who still looked a little grumpy. "You going to dance with me?" he asked before handing the disk over to Ash.

Arianna had fallen into a slight daze. She needed sleep, but the talk around her prevented her from doing so. Her mind, however, slipped off for a moment, coming back only when she was spoken to.
"Me?" she questioned, shaking herself awake. Arianna stared at Drew as though quite shocked he had said something she never would have expected him to. "If....if it's a good song, yeah."

Ash glanced from Arianna to Drew with a frown on her face, wondering whether Arianna would agree or not. She slowly took the CD from Drew and slipped it into the boombox. Ash sat down slowly, staring at the carpet, just waiting for the song to begin playing. She didn't really care to find out which CD he had chosen, asuming whatever it was, it was suitable for dancing.
Mr. Pink was tucked between her arms as she waited for the two Ravenclaws to begin dancing, she would get into the mood when the music began... maybe. A small smile formed on her lips as she rested her face on the bear.
