Sly movements (Phoebe)

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace woke up early in the morning. Yawning she pulled the covers off of her and felt a rush of cold air touch her skin causes goose bumps. Grace sat on her bed looking off into the distance with her eyes half closed. She yawned and stood up and stretched her arms into the air. It was quite early and Grace hated to wake up but it was time to stock up on sugary treats. Smirking at the other girls who were staring at her because of her hair. "Take a picture it will last longer." Grace barked at them and they returned to there everyday business. Sighing she took a comb and comb out her hair. Over winter break her twin sister had pulled an awful prank on her. It was late at night and everyone gathered around the table to say there blessing before eating. Graces family was very reglouis and went to church ever Sunday morning. Well summer thought it would be funny to give Grace a bottle of her hair changing color and then her hair had pink stripes going down.

Sighing she pulled on her jeans and a warm turtle neck. Once she had been all bundled up she looked at the clock as the dial was turning to 8:00am. Yawning again she threw her shoulder bag on her shoulder and walk out of the common room and down to the great hall. Once she had reached the wooden oak doors she opened them with a big bang and put on her head phones which once again blasted out hard rock music. The music seemed to fill within her but Graces shrugged of the urge to dance and sat down at the table and looked around. Barley anyone was at the table and didn’t seem to want to sit with Grace. Smirking at them she took a piece of toast and smothered it with jam and took a bite and banged her head to the loud music. After she had fined she took a sip of the rest of her pumpkin juice and set it down and got up from the table. People continued to stare at her but she shrugged it off and walked out of the great hall and outside into the cold air.

A rush of wind jumped at Grace sending her hair all over the place. Bundling more in her jacket she walked down a long deserted street to the Hogs head. While she was walking she looked all around her at the scenery. The snow had melted but the trees were ugly with no color full leafs on them. Smirking to herself she turned up her CD player and her head phones seemed to vibrate on her ears. Grace who could take any loud noise due to the fact she always turned up her stereo as loud as it could go at home. Once entering the small village of Hogsmeade she wondered where to go first. There was Zonkos Joke shop, The Three Broomsticks, Honeyduckes sweet shop, and well that’s all Grace ever went. Stopping in the middle of the street a young first year bumped into her and Grace stared at her, "Excuse me" the young girl told Grace and she smiled at her and moved on. Grace had a different personality from the other Hufflepuffs. She was more a little meaner and the more wild one.

Entering in Honeyduckes she walked over to the jelly bean and scooped up some colorful jelly beans. Smiling she looked inside at the colorful beans that seemed to stand out to her. There were red ones, blue, orange, green, black, and brown. Smiling she turned around on her heels and walked over towards the sugar quills. Picking up two she placed them in her bag and took three chocolate bars and walked up to the counter and leaned on it and waited for some one to come up so Grace could get a move on already.

Phoebe rolled over irritably and looked out the window in the dormity. It was morning and no one seemed to be awake. Phoebe hated when she woke earlier than everyone else. Phoebe wasn't really a morning person at all. She jumped up and grabbed her things ready to take a quick shower.

An hour later Phoebe was slipping out the Slytherin Common Room wanting to eat breakfast early. Phoebe didn't feel like running into anyone she didn't like at the moment. She was surprised to see a few people in the Great Hall but she ignored them and ate quickly. After she ate she walked outside into the cold winters air headed towards Hogsmeade.

She walked into the village with a smirk. She looked around her wondering where to go first. She began walking and stopped in front of Honeydukes. She looked inside and saw all the sweets and candy and her stomach gave a small growl even though she just ate not so long ago.

She walked inside the shop and grabbed a lollipop, some chocolate bars, and a few things that she had never tried before. She waited in line behind a girl who was listening to some rather loud rock music. Phoebe listened closely wondering if she could idenify who it was. She liked muggle music even though her father hated anything that had to do with muggles. But then again Phoebe did a lot of things with muggles that her dad wouldn't like.

She tapped the girl on the shoulder trying to get her attention.

"What are you listening to?" She asked the girl with a small smirk.

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Leaning more onto the counter Grace bobbed her head a bit at the music and looked quite annoyed no one was up there already. Ringing the bell once or twice she sighed and turned the song. Supporting more of her weight on the counter she listened to the song and started to hum to the melody. She was really aching to dance but she pushed that aside and listened to more of the music.

"You held my hand and walked me home, I know
Why you gave me that kiss it was something like this it made me go ooh ohm
You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears, why did you have to go?
Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love
Guys are so hard to trust
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl?
The one who gives it all away

Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time?
Did you think that it was somethin I was gonna do and cry?
Don't try to tell me what to do,
Don’t try to tell me what to say,
You're better off that way

Don't think that your charm and the fact that your arm is now around my neck
Will get you in my pants I'll have to kick your ass and make you never forget
I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot, but I'm really upset
Get out of my head get off of my bed yeah thats what I said
Did I not tell you that I'm not like that girl, the one who, throws it all away" Grace shouted out and not caring what people thought of her.

Pushing her red hair away from her face she felt some one tap her shoulder and Grace turned on her heels at the younger girl who was smirking at her. She crossed her arms on her chest and looked down at her. "I am listening to Dont Tell Me by Avril Lavigne. What it got to do with you?" Grace told the younger girl with a wicked smile and turned around as some one introduced themselves at the counter. "Hellos Miss that would be 15 sickles now." the clerk told her and Grace reached in her pocket and took out some money. "Here keep the change." Grace told the clerk and grabbed her candy and walked to the other side of the girl.

Grace placed her candy in her bag and looked down at the girl. "For you information I am not a Slytherin if that what you were thinking. I am a Hufflepuff but I take it that you are a Slythiern. My names Grace Willows you?" Grace asked the girl crossing her arms across her chest again and returning the smirk.

[phoebexiong]

Phoebe was taken aback by the girls attitude but smirked with satisfation.

"Girl's got attitude... I like that..." She thought to herself.

"Just asking," she said as she paided for her things and looked at the other girl. She raised an eyebrow and began making her way towards the door.

"I wasn't thinking that at all. As a matter of fact, I doubt you are a Slytherin but with that attitude you could be. What gave it away that I'm a Slytherin? By the way, I'm Phoebe Xiong." Phoebe said to the girl with a small smirk.

"Avril, eh? I like her. Kid's got spunk.. I like other rock too... muggle rock. Does that surprise you? With me being Slytherin and all?"

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace watched the girl as she paid for her things. She thought she was cool and didn’t mind to hang out with her. Unfolding her arms across her chest she pulled the head phones off and looked at Phoebe. "Well I can tell by your attitude as well. I would be in Slytherin but I am muggle born and I been teased too much about with your likes to not defend myself." Grace told the girl and tucked some hair behind her ear. When she had first gone to Hogwarts she was helpless and defenseless and was an easy target for rude mean Slytherins. But as the years went by she couldn’t take it anymore and became more snappish and self depending. But Grace had a kind side and will stand out to all the other muggle borns.

Walking out of the store about into the cold air she listened to Phoebe as she said that she liked some muggle punk bands. "Yes so do I well I am muggle born so yeah. I also like Simple plan and Hobbastank." Grace said putting the ear phones back on her ears and turning the volume down a bit. She looked around her at the street as it had become busy again. Tucking hair behind her ear she looked ahead of her and wondered where to go now. Smirking she turned back to Phoebe and smiled slyly. "Would you like to get a round of butter bear with me I normally don’t hang around with years below me but I will make an agreement for you?" Grace asked waiting for the younger girl answer.

[phoebexiong]

Phoebe listened to Grace talk about how she used to be teased. She smirked but not in a bad way.. in an understanding way. She knew what it felt like to be teased, but she said nothing to Grace. Phoebe felt her ponytail blow rapidly in the wind. It was so long and dark that she liked to keep it in a pony tail.

"I like them too. I also like the more hardcore ones. You know like Linkin Park and Evanescence. I even listen to Nirvana... I suppose with me it's the angrier the better." Phoebe said with a smirk and a shrug. She looked around at the people who were hanging about. It seemed as if more people had come today.

"Sure, sounds like it will be... interesting. I suppose I might as well since i got lucky," Phoebe said with a teasing smirk.

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace smiled at Poebe and looked ahead of her as the two girls walked to The Three Broomsticks. There wasnt that much snow on the ground but enough to hear your feet crunch in it. Grace didnt like the season winter and liked summer and spring much better. "Dont you just hate winter. It is so cold and you have to wear so many layers its really annoying." Grace said pulling on her jacket more to stop herself from shivering. Smiling Grace looked at Phoebe, "Yes but your a nice Slytherin but I know not to judge people but its not fun geting teased." Grace said opening the door to the Three Broomsticks and walking inside.

As she walked to a table Grace was greeted by a blast of warm air. Taking off her hat and gloves and sitting down in the chair. Grace leaned back in it and put her head phones back on and crossed her legs waiting for some one to take there order. As the silence grew between the two girls Grace looked at Phoebe and smiled, "So Phoebe tell me about yourself." Grace said tucking more of her red hair behind her ears. It was a habit of hers but she really didnt care what people thought. Taking two magiznes out of her shoulder bag she handed one to Phoebe, "Its my mothers desgins she makes her owns clothes and I sometimes model them." Grace said with a satified smile.

[phoebexiong]

Phoebe laughed at Graces comment about winter. Phoebe liked winter for only one reason. It reminded her so much of Japan, her home.

"I hate it. I like fall much better, but in Japan winter was extra cold. Father said that was one of the main reasons he wanted to leave. I miss Japan.. but its cool here too..." Phoebe said with a sigh as she walked into the Three Broomsticks after Grace and sat down. She was surprised at herself for saying all that about herself.

Phoebe was thinking about this when Grace handed her a magazine. She could have swore she head Grace saying something before but she didn't quite catch it. She looked through the magazine and was impressed.

"Wow... she's good." Phoebe said looking through the magazine.

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace tucked more hair behind her ears as she watch Phoebe looked throught the maginze. A frown came on to her face as she remembered her mom wonting her to take over the business and not go to Hogwarts. "I bet my mother wonted me to take over the busicness becuase Summer had already said she wonted to become and aurror." Grace though in her mind and her eyes showed furery. Grace loved her twin very much but her parnets loved her better than her and always spolied her. Sighing Grace turned up the music on her CD player and listened as Phoebe looked at the design. The reason why Grace didnt like to hang out with people below her age was because she thought she was baby sitting and hated the job. She had to babysit at home and it was horrible. Cleaning up those stinky diapers and trying to get the little child under control.

A waitess came up to the girls and Grace looked at her and rolled her eyes. Why couldnt there be any faster service around her. "What would you like girls?" the waitess asked and Grace lokoed at her and smirked. "Two butter bears and try to actly make sure it comes in a faster time thank you." Grace told her and slumped more down into her chair and listened to the music. Her body started to ake to dance but Grace felt like it was the wrong place and wrong time. Bobing her head slightly she looked up at Phoebe as she didnt answer he question. "Hello are you death I asked you to tell me about yourself." Grace said looking quite annoyed with the younger girl.

[phoebexiong]

Phoebe looked up at the waitress and glared at her.

"Took you long enough." She said in a bratty voice. She rolled her eyes and kept looking through the magazine. She smirked to herself. She remembered when she was little how her mother would take her around Tokyo to show her the different stores. Phoebe remembered the time she bought her first kimono. She wondered if her mother still had it.

Phoebe snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at Grace. She sensed that the girls mood had changed rapidly. She merely raised and eyebrow and set the magazine down gently.

"Actually, I didn't hear you say that. Well, I suppose that I like music a lot... and I don't like kids that much anymore. Father and Mother always throw me my younger cousins, Kikyo and Mayumi to watch when my aunt and uncle come over every weekend. I can only handle so much of a child you can get. I remember how Father used to always make me watch them while he let Tim do whatever. Tim used to always tease me about that...." Phoebe said, but paused realizing she was talking about her brother. She gave a small smirk in an attempt to keep herself from crying.

"So tell me about yourself. I'll tell you more about my sad boring life if you tell me about your life."

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace slumped more into her chair and looked at Phoebe as she talked about her some what life. Smirking she took off her head phone but the music still played loudly so anyone can hear it. People looked at them and Grace shot them glare that had frighten the young first years. "What are you looking at huh?" Grace barked at the people and they turned back to their own business. Turning back to Phoebe she smiled, "Well sounds like we have something in common. At home I have to babysit the younger children and its really annoying." Grace said crossing her arms across her shoulders and glaring at the waitress was bringing thier drinks over. Grace looked at her and took a sip of her butter bear and wipped her mouth. "Its about time man they need more faster service around here!" Grace said and put her head phones back on and looked at Phoebe.

Turning her head to the right slightly she listened to the music and closed her eyes and let the music run through her body. Moving around a bit in her seat she took off the head phones as Phoebe asked about her own life. Taking another sip of her butter bear she put it down on the table and looked up at the girl and raised her eyebrows. "Aye now I got to tell about me huh? Well not much to say I came from a big family and my dads a jockey my mother a designer and I am a twin. I take hip hop lessons back at home. Its a muggle dance and I have been dancing when I was four and won many trophies." Grace said leaning back in her chiar more. She waited to hear what Phoebe had to say about herself more.

[phoebexiong]

Phoebe listened to Grace's breif explaination about her life. She wondered if it was just her or did the girl seem iritable. She raised an eyebrow at the waitress and said, "They ought to lose some of their pay for their snail like services."

She took a long sip of her butter bear and looked at Grace once more.

"Well, my family is originally from Japan. Have you ever been there? My brother died not so long ago. My mom lost her ability to have more kids after she had me because she had a miscarriage. I love music and I like to dance and sing. I don't like school much.... oh and my family is rather weathly." Phoebe finished sounding bored.

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace listened to the music and Phoebe at the same time. She was rather good at mulistasking. Nooding her head at Phoebe and smiked when she ended saying she was rather wealthy. "No I have not been to Japan I been to the United States but that was nothing important." Grace said rolling her eyes and feeling quite bored. She was never the one to study and prefered to play the not study game. Smiling slyly she looked at Phoebe and rest her elbows on the table. "Well since you dont like to study and so do I will I play the not study game. Its quite simple you do not study." Grace said laughing as she had said that. It was obvious that the game was called the not study.

Taking another sip of her butter bear she held it in her hands and took another long sip. Smiling she put the head phones back on and slumped back into her chair. She was rather bored now and didnt know what else to say. Crosing her arms over her chest she boobed her head slightly and closed her eyes and let the music run through her buddy. Finally she coulnt take it anymore and she stod up and started to dance to on of her routains. Her body moved witht he beat of the music as she danced and people looked up at her and smiled. Smiling Grace continued and closed her eyes and imgained being in a competion and having to dance in front of hundreds of people.

[phoebexiong]

Phoebe smiled as she watched Grace dance. Phoebe had the urge to jump up and start dancing with her but she just smiled and watched. She couldn't hear Graces music... no one could yet they still smiled at her. Phoebe imagined herself dancing like that and smirked. She remembered how her brother, Tim had got her liking all those types of music. He knew that she loved to dance and when her father brought the family to the United States for a breif visit she remembered Tim took her to the muggle part of New York. Tim let her watch the things they called videos and she even learned some of the dance moves.

Phoebe watched Grace thinking of the time with a small smile. She could tell that Grace had gotten bored with her but Phoebe didn't really care much. Phoebe bobbed her head silently to music that was in her head.

"Go Grace!" She said loudly standing up. She was determined to make a scene. She started dancing a little where she was but she wasn't all into it like Grace was.

"You wish you could dance like that don't you?" Phoebe asked a little girl who was watching Grace with a smirk.

[Grace Henfrey R4]

Grace opened her eyes as she finshed her routine and smiled up at Phoebe who seemed to wont to have dance well. Looking she didnt see any steros and took off her CD player and placed it on the table and turned it up all the way. Once everyone could her the music she boobed her head and grabbed Phoebes arm and dragged her off with her. Standing in the middle of the pub she closed her eyes and moved her head to the beat. For a hip hop dancer you had to dance to the beat and learn the moves. Once she had gotten the beat she moved her legs a little and swinged side to side. Glancing at Phoebes direction she smiled, "Come on I know you can dance better than that." Grace said witha teasing smile.

As the song changed to her old routine she used for winning frist place she started to snap her fingers and turned again again and stoped forwards spreading her hands in the air. Then she she glanced at Phoebes direction once again, "Come on try it." Grace told her with a smile and closed her eyes and she did the move again. Her smile did not fade and she glanced at a little girl who seemed to stare at the girls. Smiling sweetly she walked over towards the first year and grabbed her hand and showed her a move or two. "Come on you can do it!" She enoucraged the girl moving her hips slightly to the beat. The little girl didnt seem to wont to and shyed away. "Oh come one its really fun just try it." Grace informed the girl doing the move again. The music got faster and Grace looked at the girl who semed to be lost within it and started to dance as well. Smiling even more she left the girl as her friends came up and started to dance too.

Once Grace had reached Phoebe, "It seems like I started a dance party." Grace told her smilng and sitting down in her chair and taking a sip of her butter bear. Gulping down the sweet substance she smiled and turned off her CD player and the people aroudn them seemed to went back to what they were doing before. Crossing her legs Grace looked up at Phoebe and smiled. "That was fun wasnt it?"
