"He's not too bad if you get to know him," Allegra answered with a small shrug, taking a few more steps before pausing as well and looking back at him. She had spent a good part of year in Arithmancy with Dan and while he was an arrogant jerk most of the time, he did have a nicer side as well.
"But Penelope is back. That was a nice surprise," Allegra said, managing to sound quite genuine, keeping any tone of jealousy out of her voice. She tugged on her trunk again and continued down the hall.

"Yeah, it's great," Kellen agreed. "I'm glad she's doing well; I was worried about her." It was the truth. She'd disappeared so suddenly, it seemed, with just a simple owl saying she was going home to take care of her mother. He'd never really expected to see her again.
After a moment, his tone dropped a little as he spoke again. "But, I mean, it's kind of weird, too, you know?"

"Yes... I know," Allegra answered truthfully, pulling her trunk along and giving a small sigh. She had had not one, but two old boyfriends show up a year after leaving school.
"You know the funny thing? I was thinking about her the other day," Allegra said, looking over her shoulder at Kellen and smiling a little. "I was going to ask you if you had heard from her lately... before... before the quidditch thing."

"Let's make a deal, okay?" Kellen suggested. "Let's forget all about the Quidditch thing, yeah? Maybe pretend it never happened. I think I'd be happier with that. Sound good?"

"Yeah, okay," Allegra agreed, giving another small smile over her shoulder before pulling her trunk down the main staircase. The thumps of the lightened trunk didn't have the same pleasant quality they had had in the common room, but it was still a nice sound.

"Good. I'm glad that's over, then. I mean, really over. Er, or it never started, I guess," Kellen fumbled a little as he lost grip on his trunk for a moment. "Ow!" he exclaimed as his now broken-handled trunk fell down a few stairs and right into the back of his legs.
"Oh, man..." he grumbled as he managed to stop the trunk from rolling any further.

"What happened? You okay?" Allegra asked as she turned back to look over her shoulder. Her own trunk slipped down the steps a little as well, but she didn't lose her grasp on it thankfully.

"The handle broke off, and the stupid thing rolled down and hit the back of my legs," Kellen complained. He shook his right leg a few times, to see if some of the soreness went away. He wasn't surprised when it didn't. Resting one hand on the trunk to keep it still, he rather awkwardly tried to bend down and rub the sore spot right behind his knee with his other hand. "Man. That really hurt," he grumbled, though he might have been milking it a little for sympathy.

"Are you okay?" Allegra asked again, letting go of her trunk so that it could thump down to the landing ahead of her. She went back up to Kellen and sat on the step he was staning on. "It's not broken or anything, is it?" she asked. Those trunks could do some major damage if they wanted to.

"Nah, I don't think so," Kellen said softly. "I'll just end up with a couple of nice matching bruises, I think. I'll have to tell people I got into a fight, that'll sound loads tougher than 'my trunk crashed into me'. Oi, you should see the other guy."

"BIG guy... I saw him. He won't be messing with you anymore if he knows what's good for him," Allegra agreed with a smile. "I'm just not sure why he went for the backs of your kneecaps..."

"He attacked from behind. He knew he wouldn't have stood a chance if I'd have seen him coming," Kellen supplemented, his mind taken off the dull pain in the back of his legs. "Not that it did him any good anyway! He ran pretty fast for such a big guy, I've got to say."

"People tend to do that when they're really scared," Allegra pointed out seriously. "Wow... and all he got on you was the one hit from behind. He sucker-punched you and you still got the best of him. I'm impressed."

"Well, you know. It is me we're talking about. That's right: Kellen McCrea, the fierceist fighter in all of Hogwarts." At this, Kellen couldn't help but let out a long laugh. Even when he tried to speak again, he giggled at the idea of him being some fierce fighter.

Allegra bit back her own giggles, trying to stay serious, but it was hard when Kellen started laughing. "I pity anyone who tries to challenge you," she told him, not being able to stop the grin from spreading across her face.
