Right outside the Downstairs Girls' Bathroom
OOC: For those of you who are new, or simply don't remember: earlier today, James and Sirius snuck into the girl's bathroom with a live toilet seat they'd enchanted (Spike). Lily caught them replacing the toilet seat with Spike, and told them to put the seat (Spike, not the real one, though she didn't know it) back on; they obliged and left. This was all on the old board, as well as a lot more detail and humor. That afternoon…
IC:
Right outside the girl's bathroom, Ginger and Skilmer walked together on their way outside. That was where Loral saw them; also where Linda passed them on her way to the bathroom. Ginger saw the snide look on Loral's face, and, suddenly feeling angry, said hotly, "What is it about us that you find so despicable?"
Loral raised a superior eyebrow. "First of all, your manners," she said coolly, to add to Ginger's sudden fury. "Second of all, I don't admire your taste in men."
"He's just a friend, and he's your cousin! How could you be so rude?"
"Well, first of all, he's poor—"
"Because you didn't take him in!"
"—he's a common orphan—by the way, wasn't it your dragon that killed his parents?" At first Ginger was shocked and speechless, but then her fury mounted even higher.
"We don't own the dragons; we work with them; we're called in to find runaway dragons but we have NEVER, EVER owned any dragons! The guy who was in charge of them was so stupid not to reinforce the bars, but it wasn't even his fault that the dragon escaped, it was the dragon's fault, and don't you blame me!" Ginger raged.
"And," said Loral as if Ginger hadn't said anything, had been politely listening and agreeing with every word. "he's stupid. You'd never know the fool could talk, the way he's been standing there and not saying a thing. But of course, if great minds think alike, so must stupid minds, so it's no wonder that you haven't noticed."
Ginger looked like she was about to do something violent, and Skilmer, standing there quietly taking his cousin's abuse, knew that if he didn't intervene, Ginger was going to do something that she'd really regret later. He gave Ginger a warning nudge, and jerked his head towards the nearby girl's bathroom. Ginger took the hint, as well as a deep breath, and hurried towards it, leaving Skilmer to endure Loral alone. She was grateful for Skilmer’s nudge, though still furious. I’ll need to thank him after I’ve cooled down, for keeping me from really embarrassing myself, especially in front of Loral.
(OOC: though, as it turns out, she embarrasses herself anyway)
Linda finished her toilet duties and, still giggling a little, left the bathroom in time to see Ginger race off with a toilet seat in her hand, a wet behind, and a red face, not to mention the wet footprints on the floor making their way up to the Ravenclaw Common Room. Filch wouldn’t be too happy when he got ahold of her. Immersed in yet another giggling fit on her way up the stairs, she didn’t bother to steer clear of Loral, who was in a not-so-good mood after the conversation she’d been having with Skilmer. Too patient, he was: not a single reaction until she threw the book at him! Her train of thought was interrupted, however, when she saw Linda rolling on the floor, so busy laughing that she could hardly breathe. “Since when are you happy?” scowled Loral. Linda couldn’t talk she was so full of mirth. All she could get out were the words, “Ginger…toilet…” and a whole bunch of giggles. Loral had to see what was making someone as dismal as Linda so bright. She looked in the direction that Linda pointed and saw a long, wet trail snaking it’s way up the stairs. Running up, she caught a glimpse of someone running on a staircase above her—Ginger, with wet robes and a wiggling toilet seat in her hand. A wicked smile curved the edges of Loral’s mouth. Ginger shouldn’t have messed with Loral Havelly. A few words to the right people, and Ginger would be miserable for the rest of her Hogwarts life.

OOC: All right, all you gossips, time to make hay with this! I'm not going to post Loral telling every person, so you can assume that she's told your character if you like, or that she's told someone who's told your character, etc...
ummm
OCC: WOW. That is ALOT to read. And I'm confused anyway. What just happened? Could you maybe post a shortening of all that in OCC chat or somewhere? lol
