"Whoa, everybody, it's not that big of a deal," he said. He was starting to feel like this was going to be a stupid ides. They should have run it by everybody else first. And he was the one doing the talking. Okay, well, he couldn't back out of it now.
"Well, as you all know, we've got a Quidditch match tomorrow..."

Lily was too distracted to notice Scott though. She was running over things in her mind. "Just spit it out already," Lily said with a bit of an edge to her voice. "Sorry." She said quietly. "I'll go on and say it. I'll take credit for this because you still have a good reputation with most the people in this room. Alright well our idea was too have everyone in Ravenclaw go bald for a week. One day for every color of the rainbow. Which is where we would be painting our heads with that color. Now don't worry we've fully researched this and . . ." Lily faltered. She needed Kellen to take over. This part would come much better from him. She had lost whatever she had going, if you could call that confindence. "Well I assure you we'll be able to get your hair back."

Drew snorted from his seat. "Right... funny joke, but I have a potions essay to finish," he said, getting up out of the chair and heading back to the stairs. While it bugged him that they had wasted his time with the so-called "important" meeting, it was a nice diversion on anotherwise boring afternoon.
Heck, even if they had been serious, there was no way he'd do it. Alhana would kill him.

Charon looked at Lily, eyes wide, mouth open, the whole "shocked out of my mind" deal. He quickly regained his senses, though. He shook his head, partly to help clear it and partly to show his disapproval.
"I really don't care what you say about my hair growing back or anything. I refuse to shave my head. The only way I'm going bald for any period of time at all is if it happens naturally or if you people do it to me while I'm sleeping," he said firmly. He rather enjoyed his hair and didn't want to part with it. "And how on earth are you going to keep it from growing back during that week?" he added. Hair may not grow quickly, but he knew it would grow quickly enough to make painting a head rather difficult and annoying.

"For the match?" Allegra asked, bewildered at the suggestions...slightly outraged over the fact that as Quidditch captain, she had not been asked... and more than a little hurt that Kellen had kept it from her. She had dared to imagine that they were some sort of team. It was disappointing to realize she had been mistaken.

Scott was slightly disappointed the flower hadn't noticed him, but he didn't mind too much. She looked nervous and after she started to speak he realized why. Just Lily was asking the entire house to lose their hair and paint their heads. It seemed funny to him, but it didn't seem that way to others, as one boy even left.
"Well why not?" he asked the captain. "It would promote team and house unity, and a few good laughs would get around, something that is strongly needed around here. Especially now." Scott was not saying he completely agreed with the idea, but he was amused with it.

"Gees guys... Lighten up. They're joking," Drew told the older Ravenclaws. It hadn't been the best of jokes, but still it was a fair try. He turned to Kellen and Lily. "Next time, you guys have to remember the key is NOT to ask permission first."
Now THAT would have been pretty funny.

"I can think of plenty of other ways to promote house unity that do NOT involve me going bald, thank you very much," Allegra snipped back, her hurt and anger getting the best of her. "Shave your head if you want. I'm not going to."

Pausing at the foot of the stairs, Arianna turned, her mouth slightly agape. She, like half of those in the room, did not like the idea. Arianna liked to experiment with her hair and all, but how would she do that with a bald head. No thank you. She liked having hair too much to get rid of it for some silly 'house unity' promotion. How would having bald heads unite them anyway.
"You guys are nutters," the girl claimed, shaking her head.

Kellen sighed. He felt like a bigger and bigger idiot as the conversation went on, and he needed to put an end to that feeling--no matter what the original plan had been. "You're right, guys," he announced, trying to hide his disappointment and avoiding eye contact with Lily. "It was just a joke. It wasn't supposed to be a big deal. We just thought everybody could use a laugh. It's been a rough few days. I guess it seemed funnier to us when we were discussing it. Sorry."

"Told you!" Drew sang out to the room before pointing at Lily and Kellen. "We'll work on your presentation and delivery later. Hiro and I usually charge, but since you're family..." With that he went back up the stairs to finish his essay.

"Not a big deal?" Allegra asked, turning on Kellen. "Going bald is not a big deal? We're playing Gryffindor! We can't... Do you think... I can't believe..." She was too upset to even finish a complete thought and just spluttered back at him before finally spitting out, "We're playing Gryffindor!"

Kellen was more than a little confused by Allegra's response. He hadn't meant the match was no big deal--was that what she thought? "So maybe we can blind them with our shiny, shiny heads," he responded, hoping she'd realize that the whole thing had gotten blown way out of proportion from his and Lily's plan. It was the plan that wasn't a big deal.

Lily didn't mean that Kellen should take all the heat, but it was just awful, awful all that was happen. And then Kellen saying it was all a joke, denying it like that. She knew somehow it was all her fault. And trying to be as invisible as possible, she slipped out of the common room.

The fact that he was still trying to make jokes about it hurt even more. He knew how seriously she took this and it took everything she had not to start crying. She took a looka around the room at her team. Drew and Ari up opposite staircases, Lily trying to slink away, Scott looking at them all like they're nuts not going for it, Kellen teasing and herself fighting back tears. Some team builder.
"Do what you want. I can't stop you," she said quietly turning to leave the common room. She needed to get out and think. "I just wished you had asked me about it first."
