"Drew Thornton!" Arianna cheered and threw her hands up in the air. Lowering them again, she also lowered her voice and continued as a golf announcer would. "Which is why we gather here today, in this, the Ravenclaw common room, to see the Great One make this daring jump."

Drew had made his decision. He was going to go for the end table- a tricky landing considering the fact that if he landed wrong, he'd knock over the lamp that was placed there.
With a huge push off, he made the jump, taking care to miss the lamp, but underestimating the danger of the books scattered next to the base. He landed one foot on someone's transfiguration text, feeling his ankle twist as the book slid out from under him. He tried to regain his balance and over compensated, knocking over the lamp anyway as he toppled off the table and landed on his back.

Arianna had been certain Drew would make it. Untill she saw that his foot the book. Before she could even hollar out, it was too late. Everything happened so fast, all she could do was cover her eyes and wince as she listened to the proceeding thud and crash.
Peering over her hand, Arianna took one second to look over the damage before jumping off the chair and hurrying to Drew's side.
"You okay?" she asked, holding out a hand.

"What the heck was that?" Allegra's voice floated down from the girl's room where she had been studying. Soon, her footsteps could be heard on the steps and again, the question. "What was that?"

Drew nodded slowly fromwhere he lay, still trying to answer the question for himself. He didn't think anything was broken (other than the lamp possibly), but he was sore from landing on the floor. He heard Allegra coming down and mumbled at Ari. "Don't tell her what happened... she'll start yelling."

Arianna bit her lip and nodded. She was already trying to think of how they could dodge around what really happened.
Pulling her wand out, Arianna pointed it at the lamp, fixing as best she could with a quick reparo spell. She was just shoving it back onto the table when Allegra arrived.

Allegra came down the stairs and saw Ari, looking a little too innocent, but other than that, nothing else seemed to be out of the ordinary.
"What happened?" she asked for a third time as she looked around. It had been loud and had sounded awful, but she didn't see anything out of place other than a few books on the floor.

"Just a little....accident," Arianna replied. She didn't know how much she could keep from Allegra without telling a blatant lie, which she prefered not to do. "Everything's okay."

"Everything's okay!" Drew echoed from behind the sofa. he still wasn't sure it was a good idea to stand, especially with Allegra around.

Allegra had been almost ready to let the whole thing slide, seeing as nothing was broken or missing, but Drew's voice from the floor raised her suspicions again. She walked over to the couch and peered over the back at her brother. "What did you do?" she accused, knowing he was up to something.

"Nothing," Drew answered, looking up at her. As usual, he found it hard to flat out lie to his sister and continued, giving the most basic of information. "I was just trying something and I fell, is all."

So much for saying nothing. Drew had pretty much told Allegra the whole story. There was no way she would let this go now.
"Everything's okay," she repeated, shifting slightly. "Nothing's broken."

"Nothing's broken," Allegra smirked, still looking down at her brother as if she was sure he was going to be visiting the Hospital Wing before the hour was up. "And what exactly were you just trying?"

"Trust me. You really don't want to know," Drew told her. "Just be assured that nothing is broken and I plan on being more careful in the future." He grinned up at her, already knowing the tail end of her standard reprimand.

Arianna, not wanting to add anything that might get them both in futher trouble (she did, afterall, cheer him on), only shrugged. Drew could do the talking.
