What a hectic few days there had been at Hogwarts. It was already time for the next lesson, and Will hadn't been totally prepared for it. His mind had been wandering with thoughts of two Gryffindor girls. It seemed that love was in the air, from all the rumours and things Will had seen lately. What was really needed, was time to relax, which is what Will was doing. Crashing on his bed, Will was just lying there, enjoying the quiet. The lockdown had been a drag, but at least they had been able to go outside lately.
Lying there, Will realized how much of a stranger everyone was to him, and how much of one he was to everyone else. He figured it was about time to meet some people, including those in his House. He only knew names from Quidditch matches, but had never really talked to anyone. The boy's dorm was probably the best place to start.

It's gotta be in the dorm, Scott thought as he headed up the stairs. There was no where else it could be. The Dorms had to be holding it somewhere. It wasn't really that big of a deal, but the thing he was looking for had to be there. How embarrassed he was going to be if he lost it, it wasn't just any piece of paper, it was a particular piece of paper. This paper had everything written on it. Yes, sadly he had made a list of pros and cons. Four girl's, all different Houses, and he had written each of their names at the top of the list.
Scott tore the door open, almost would've come right off the hinges had it not been held up by magic. Or was that just Scott's own masculine thoughts touching on him? At any rate he frantically ran to his bed, maybe it was under the covers? Scott tore the covers off of the bed and threw them across the room, not bothering to look to see if anyone else was in there. "Come on!" he exclaimed. "I know you've gotta be around here somewhere!"

Will nearly fell off his bed when another boy came tearing into the room and threw the door open. Will heard him yelling about something, but it didn't register because he was still in shock. Sitting up, Will looked at the boy and at his bed. he was tearing it apart, as if looking for something. Will noticed a piece of paper on the floor, so he walked over and picked it up. He didn't look at it, but handed it to the boy.
"Looking for this mate?" he asked, giving it to him.

At the sound of the voice, Scott jumped, ready to pull out his wand. When he turned around though, he realized it was just Will, with a piece of paper. And not just any paper, his paper. Scott breathed a sigh of relief as he took the paper that was handed out to him. "Thanks mate," he replied. "I don't know if I would've survived if that hadn't been found."
It was true, if the paper hadn't been found, Scott was going to have to walk around the castle with his head burried in his hands. That would not have been good for his image. Scott stood up straight and shook his head, man was he relieved. "So, what're you doing up here in this weather, eh?" he asked, hoping to divert the boys attention from the list. I'll never take advice from my bloody sister again, he thought.

"Is it really that important? What is it?" Will asked, now overcome with curiosity. He was glad he hadn't read it though, because it probably would have really ticked off the boy. And that was not something Will wanted to do.
Figuring he didn't want to talk about it, Will answered his question instead.
"Ah I just needed to relax and have time for my mind to wander. Too many thoughts, mate, too many thoughts," Will said, sighing. It was true. There were too many thoughts in his head. But none of them were bad...
"I'm Will by the way. Will McKellar," he mentioned, sticking his hand out to shake his fellow Ravenbrother's.

"Well, it important enough to make me want to burn it as soon as possible so all evidence is gone," he replied with a shrug. "Heh, too many thoughts, eh?" he chuckled. "Same here mate, though I'm glad this is at least off my mind." his grin was easily visible, and it was easy to see he was relieved.
"Scott Christopherson," he replied as he took Will's hand. "And really thanks mate for finding this." Scott flipped his wand toward his bedding and it replaced itself on his bed. After doing that, Scott sat down on the bed and looked at the paper. It obvious enough Will hadn't looked at it, the way he'd asked about it was too innocent. The names were listed, all four of them. Each with two lists beneath. I've either gotta learn to keep better track of my things, or I've gotta stop taking her advice. Writing things on paper was his sister's way of seeing all possibilities of things, and each time Scott tried it, it didn't work in his favor.

Will chuckled at Scott response of wanting to burn the paper.
"What is it, a love letter?" he joked. Will walked back over to his own bed and plopped down on it, folding his hands behind his head. He looked up at Scott, waiting for an answer or reaction.
((Crap post))

"Not quite, but close enough. Let's just say if it happened to have been found by a girl, I'd be hexed into the next century most likely." So, the paper wasn't really that bad, and Scott was over exagerating. he looked back at the paper, the words scribbled in his handwriting, the names at the top of the paper. The information of the paper wasn't really that bad, it just had a few things about each girl, a few things that he liked about each, a few things he didn't like about each. he had just been trying to put everything in perspective for himself and he'd managed to do so.
"So what's on your mind, mate?" It was a lame attempt to change the subject, but maybe it would work.

Will got the feeling that Scott didn't want to talk about the paper anymore, he dropped the subject. But with Scott's next question, he guessed it would surface again.
"Girls, mate....girls," Will replied, shaking his head, "Why is that, that one can go 16 years and never find one, and in a few days, have 2 that are drooling over him and now he's got to choose? It's just mean." The reason Will had come up to the dorms in the first place was to clear his head of those thoughts of the girls, but now that Scott was there, it seemed better to just talk about it.
