「 a splash of supremacy 」

Currently staring daggers, Violet had been staring at the blonde since Sirius had joined her side. Once Ellie had spotted her, she did the only rational thing and decided to piss her off some more.

"Do you want to tell your girlfriend to stop staring at me?" Eleanor said to the boy at her side, her eyes only flickering on him for a second before returning her attention to the board.

"Huh? Which one?" Sirius replied, earning a small laugh from James. He stopped writing to look at her, wondering what the root of this was.

"Violet." She told him, still writing down McGonagall's past three statements. Being a slow writer was going to be the death of her one day or at least the death of her hand. The boy cast his glance to the topic of conversation, who smiled at him kindly before she turned back to Georgia and slowly turned back to El.

"First of all, it is not like that and, secondly, she probably isn't even looking at you. Why would she?" He returned blankly. Although he wasn't wrong, he wasn't correct either. Even he was questioning his own words, there is plenty of valid reasons to be staring at Eleanor in particular.

"I think you need to tell her that, she's been acting this way since the two of you were sucking faces on Halloween." Eleanor said, lowering her voice so only he could hear. Come to think of it, she wished she had kept her mouth shut now. 

"Jealous?" Sirius replied smugly. Yes, no, she didn't know. "I'm sure there is enough of me to go around." He added, making the girl finally look up from her work to see the teasing smirk on his lips. Immediately arching a brow at him, she felt the need to throw her -very heavy- textbook at his head. She didn't though.

"You're full of yourself, Black." Eleanor replied before turning back to her scroll as McGonagall was most definitely seconds away from giving her detention, suggested by the impatient frown she held on her -usually neutral- face.

"Come on, Ella, you know you can't resist me." He said with a snicker, causing her head to shoot back up. Before she could say anything that would embarrass herself, she was interrupted by McGonagall that had been watching the two this whole time. 

"Mr Black, Miss Westbrook. Need I remind you that you are in a lesson, not at a social event. Detention tomorrow night." She told them. Great. This is exactly what she needed. More time for Sirius to tease her, without anyone else around. He returned to his work, smiling arrogantly as he knew full well that their Professor was on the verge of giving them detention. Huffing sharply, she whacked his arm to wipe the smirk off his face but that only made him laugh.

Charms had gone by quickly, thanks to Marlene, and the three girls had headed back to the Hufflepuff dorms once Lily and Eleanor had changed. With whatever limited items that Eleanor had, she was able to pull together a lot of new looks with the help of Marlene. Hopping back to her old style every so often to mix it up a bit. She wouldn't dare ask Annabeth for any close in this new style of hers, instead, she wrote Dotty a letter with a bit of money and got some pretty good pieces in return.

They all piled into Marlene's dorm, which was very different to that of Gryffindors. Eleanor much preferred the looks of this common room to her own. Mixes of soft and vibrant yellows merged nicely with the mossy greens of the foliage and grey stone. Everything was quite bright and spring-like to say they were in the basement. Instead of dark oak floors, the light wood was covered in layers of rugs making the place seem homely. Even Marlene's dark aesthetic blended with the room.

Today was simple. Wearing a plain white jumper with a black pleated skirt, large fishnets, thigh-high sock, her Dr Martens, and a belt to accentuate her waist. This was what she currently felt most comfortable, plus she kept warm in the icy corridors.
