Sitting there cross legged on his bed, gazing down at his magazine, Mike was rather thankful to find some solitude in the boy's dormitory where he could just sit there and just chill.
A place where he could forget about everything that was going on in the common room, and all the other things going on in his life. The magical music player that Cris had while he was still attending Hogwarts still sat where it had been when he had left, Mike had put it to good use and had some tunes playing.
At the moment it was playing some muggle music and in particular it was "My Love" by Justin Timberlake. Now this wasn't Mike's normal type of music but he had found a quiet liking to the song.
He had it up loud enough that he couldn't hear the footsteps approaching

Seanna had heard the music and wondered who was playing it as she climbed the stairs to the boys dorm room and made her way inside the room and towards the person who was playing the music.
Seanna haden't talked to Mike for awhile and now seemed like the right time to talk to the boy, as she sat on the trunk at the end of Mike's bed. "Hey Mike, how've you been?" Seanna asked tentaviely as she twisted her hands and looked down at them instead of looking at Mike.

Mike almost jumped out of his skin when he heard the voice coming from his trunk, when he finally composed himself he looked up at Seanna with a light smirk on his lips, she had got him good even if it wasn't her intention to do it.
"Got me good there, Anna"
His smirk quickly turning to a smile, he hadn't seen her since that day in the common room and the spider. So it would be good to talk with her.
"I've been good and you?"
And with a quick smirk forming on his lips as he remembered the spider which he had saved her from on that day, before Abi had come and had a go at him for no particular reason.
"No more spiders?"

Anna...Mike had called her Anna, Seanna was sure Mike knew what her name was, but maybe that could be her nickname, considering she didn't have one and it was a good nickname, Seanna supposed.
"Interesting, I've never been called Anna before, I thought my name was Seanna and no, no more spiders" Seanna said, gazing up at Mike and grinning at him.

Mike laughed a rather happy laugh as she had picked his nickname for her, and really everyone called him Mike or Rolen depending on whom it was. He closed the magazine and threw it onto his bedside table and patted the bed offering her a seat that would be much more comfortable than that trunk of his.
"Well everyone needs a nickname and I guess it suits you, well I think it does anyway"
He said smiling back at her, well maybe this lockdown wouldn't be too bad at least he could get to know his housemates better. Mike had been an outcast over the first half of the year even towards his own house, so now was the time to fix things.

Seanna debated, a million, zillion thoughts running through her mind as Mike invited her to seat next to him on his bed. The things she had heard about Mike and what Abi had said, went through her head like a wave as she tried to to force back the feelings that she knew had to Mike but really didn't want to show them.
Seanna was confused, that was for sure and she made up her mind and walked over and sat herself next to Mike on the bed, "I think it suits me too" Seanna told him, giving Mike another smile and deciding where she should put her hands before deciding on placing them in her lap. "So, you think there is a real fire?"

Despite what she had heard about Mike and what Abi had told her, Mike wasn't as bad anymore, certain things that had happened had made him grow up and take a more mature role in the house and that had been proven when the fire had broken out, how he had helped Sarsha and then went back and helped others that he didn't even know get back to their houses.
As she sat beside her, Mike moved back closer to his pillows so he had something to lean onto and threw one towards Seanna. Then she asked about the fire and looked at her, the smile on her face hiding her concern.
"Yes, I don't think that the Professor's would make something like that up just to put us in lockdown, but then again lockdown for just a fire in the greenhouses doesn't seem right, I guess there is something else going down"
He said in a calm voice as he quickly glanced out the doorway and into the common room, it seemed quite busy out there.
"But this lockdown could do wonders for our house unity, and Krissy seems to be taking alot on her shoulders, so I guess later I will go and offer her some help and yeah probably tell her to take a break too"
He said chuckling slightly

Seanna took the pillow and placed it in her lap, putting her hands on the pillow and hugging it slightly. "A fire... I hope no one was in the greenhouses when it happened" Seanna said to Mike, feeling a bit more comfortable as she continued to talk to him, maybe, just maybe, Mike wasn't so bad after all.
"Krissy, yeah, maybe I should go and help her too, but then again she's got Pat and Alexis that could help her, so we might might not be needed for awhile until she calls us for help" Seanna coincided, knowing that Krissy could call on her if she ever needed any help.

"Yeah, I hope no one was as well"
He said his thoughts actually going to what would actually happen if a student or a professor had been caught in the fire and couldn't get out. He just shuddered at the thought of it, not something he wanted to think about right now.
His eyes made their way back to Seanna, and he nodded at her second comment.
"Well I'm sure if we offered she wouldn't turn us down, but for now I just wanted to get out of there tad too hectic in there for me, plus Nessa was giving me creepy looks"
He said with a slight roll of his eyes, he was soooooo over her now.

Seanna scrunched up a face, trying to think of who 'Nessa was and if she knew her or not. Seanna wasn't actually in the common room when the lockdown was issued, due to the fact that she had been sick and so she hadn't seen all the Hufflepuff's congregate in the common room.
"Nessa?, who's Nessa?" Seanna asked, wondering if she should ask at all, seeing as how she saw Mike roll his eyes when he mentioned her, Seanna decided she was going to start picking the pillow apart.

Mike laughed as she asked whom Nessa was, and at first Mike was going to tell her that it was his ex but then thought better of it. He had decided to take the high road on the whole Vanessa saga and forget about it, and this was just another step in it.
"My point exactly"
He said laughing again as he saw Seanna start picking at his pillow, so he poked her in the side, softly of course and smiled innocently
"Am I that boring?"

"Huh?, boring?" Seanna said, as she stopped plucking at the pillow and looked up at Mike, "Your not boring, the pillow just needed to be pluck, that's all" Seanna said to Mike, giving him a small smile.
Seanna often played with her hands when she was nervous and for some reason, Mike made her nervous and she wanted to tell him about her feelings, but she was still debating about it, after all, Mike did go out with Krissy as well.

Mike smiled at her as he watched her for a moment before speaking again, she looked nervous for some reason and decided he would ask her about it as he didn't really want her to be nervous as there was no point or reason for her to be nervous.....was there?
"You ok Anna, you seem nervous"
He didn't want to ask her why she was nervous, she could do that by herself so that way she wouldn't feel as though Mike pressured her into anything. He was only concerned about her being nervous.

"Me?, nervous?, I'm not nervous" Seanna said unconvincingly to Mike, though she continued to pluck at the pillow and it was better to pluck the pillow instead of looking at Mike as she really didn't know what to say, or even how to say it and yet she wanted to say what she was feeling, but really didn't what to say what she was feeling.

"Well alright then"
He said as he rolled over and grabbed his magazine and brought it back over it and flicked it open again and began to read it again. Now this wasn't to ignore her, it was more to see if she would say something to him and stop being so nervous around him, because he didn't like it when people were nervous around him.
And when people were nervous around him it was generally because they were scared of him. She surely couldn't be scared of him, she had come in there and actually talked to him so what else could it be he wondered.
