Bubbles? Bubbles Are Fun! ((open))

[Kia Brightstar]

((Join if you wish, don't if you don't want to. I can always have Kia and Adrian fighting if no one joins. I was just bored and decided to entertain you all at the same time. Aren't I just so nice? ;D))

Life was just so boring lately. Everything was the same. Nothing ever changed. Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary happened. Whichever way she put it, the facts were still the same. Life was boring and Kia was determined to change it. But how? What could she do? If there was anything left to do to dispose of her boredom then Kia must have overlooked it when pondering what to do. It just seemed so bleak. Usually entertaining herself wasn't a problem for the hyper-active, energetic, bouncy young Gryffindor. An activity could usually be found in the strangest of things. Hand Kia something and she could generally make something exciting out of it. But not today and not for the last week or so. She had been trailing around listlessly for a few days, too listless to even think up something to do. If anyone had noticed then they'd had the good sense not to mention it. Kia had a fiery temper when roused and wouldn't think twice about fighting someone who angered her, whether the person was her friend or not.

An idea suddenly struck and Kia grinned mischievously, bouncing up off her bed and forward to her wardrobe. It was here somewhere, she just knew it was. A strange urge had compelled her to bring it to Hogwarts and she had followed her instincts and brought it. She distinctly remembered pushing it to the back of her wardrobe until the reason presented itself and here the reason was. But where was the darned thing? "Yes!" Kia backed out of her wardrobe, holding up the item triumphantly. Unfortunately, the back of her head hit the edge of the wardrobe door and Kia dropped the item as she clutched her head and grumbled nonsensically. Stupid wardrobe. Yet another thing to add to her list of things to hate. Desks, walls and now wardrobes. How treacherous! Even her own wardrobe was turning against her. Disgraceful. Kia glared at the wardrobe and shook a fist menacingly, dreaming of hitting it but too wary of the retribution that could follow. Not even inanimate objects enjoyed being hit, you know.

A few minutes and a tiring bounce through the common room and the corridors later and Kia was out in the grounds. A lovely place to be sure but for once, her interest wasn't in the beauty of the outdoors. No, no, no. Now her interest was focused on the item she had lugged through the school, carefully covered with a piece of fabric. It was bad luck to reveal such a thing before having other people there! No...wait, that a groom seeing a bride before a wedding. Oh well, no worries. Kia still wasn't going to reveal her prize before a few students became curious about the young Gryffindor simply standing in the middle of the grounds and wandered over to see what was happening. Oh yes, it was certainly a master plan. Foolproof, even.

A few more minutes passed and no students wandered over, a fact that made Kia scowl and set the item down on the ground before pulling off the fabric with a dramatic flourish. If no one was interested then she'd save it all for herself. Oh yes, oh yes. Now that was a great plan! Why share her brilliant prize with others when she could simply have all the fun for herself. Kia paused and frowned. That would be mean. Oh well. If they wanted to join then they could. Kia certainly wouldn't make them leave. Had she ever turned people away? No and she wasn't planning to start now. A simple tap of her wand on the item and bubbles began spewing out of the item and Kia grinned in delight before tapping her wand again and starting some music. Her dad had gotten both her and her sister one for Christmas a few years ago and both children had been delighted. Bubbles were so much fun! And if people were too grown up to chase after bubbles then they could dance along with the music. A bubble drifted past Kia's nose and she leaped after it, doing a victory dance when she popped it before pouncing at another bubble.

((You can still reply if you wish. I just really wanted to have them fighting since I was bored and had nothing to do. So feel free to come and join in the fun though I doubt there will be a party unless you can scare off Adrian. But people on Adrian's side can reply too! The more the merrier since posting with myself is never as fun as posting with others.))

Adrian dragged a brush through his hair carelessly, ruining the point of it only a few minutes later by running a hand through his hair absent-mindedly and messing up his hair anyway. Summer was so close and with it was the anticipation of finally seeing his baby sister again. Of course, that also meant that he would have to live through the annoying moods that his sister sometimes had. Generally she was a well-behaved girl and very much like Adrian himself so it was extremely easy to adore her but she was more out-going and lively. Had she known that Adrian had spent most of his time in the library or an abandoned dungeon classroom then she would have forced him to spend more time in the common room. Not that she didn't appreciate the pleasure that solitude could bring but because she would want her brother to be more sociable. Oh yes, Lita definitely took after their mother in that respect but he wouldn't dream of changing them for the world.

He stretched lazily, stifling a bored yawn and moving through his dorm and down to the common room. Maybe some entertainment could be found there. Ahah. Adrian smiled in triumph, grinning at a slightly younger Slytherin and sitting next to the boy. He was fairly interesting company and Adrian had helped him with his homework on occasion. Sure, the boy had differing views to those of Adrian but sometimes such things didn't matter. Different upbringings made for different people and that was one of the many things that Adrian had had to adjust to upon his entrance to the Slytherin house in his first year. Not that he was completely adjusted now, of course. It was still considerably strange to chat with someone and find that they had conflicting views. Yet conflict made for an interesting life and so Adrian rather enjoyed the occasional bantering argument so long as it didn't get taken too far. Everyone had different opinions but he wouldn't want to lose a friend or enjoyed acquaintance over it.

Yet after a few minutes of small talk, even his companion seemed uninteresting and comparably dull. So it was with a quick goodbye and a friendly smile that Adrian was up and walking through the corridors. Maybe he could find that group of Gryffindors who had laughed at him and his owl before. Stupid people. How dare they laugh at Castor! Nobody laughed at one of Adrian's pets and escaped without a verbal fight, at the very least. Sure, he may not dislike them as much as other Slytherins did but he still wouldn't allow anyone to insult him, his owl, his family or his friends and escape unscathed. They might get the idea that they could do it again and get away with it. That wouldn't do at all. He would most definitely have to hunt them down and teach them a lesson.

A bubble drifted past his nose and at the same time, Adrian became aware of the loud music blasting from about a five minutes walk to his left. Curiousity had him wandering over to find out who was playing the music and blowing the bubbles but disgust had him stopping only a few feet away from the cause of the disturbance. A Gryffindor girl. How lovely. Still, Adrian smirked slightly and completed the walk over to the girl, it might be fun to argue for a while. And it might lift his boredom for a few minutes at least. The girl leaped after a bubble, popped it and performed a rather alarming dance in victory. Adrian snickered audibly and smirked when the girl spun around with a big smile, obviously expecting one of her giggly little friends to have come over to join in the fun. "Aww, is the little Gryffindor lion cub enjoying herself with the ickle bubbles and the deafening music?" Adrian smirked, ready to enjoy the heated response that would undoubtedly come from the Gryffindor girl. She might not have been one of the group who had insulted his owl but she would do as a stand in for now, until he could track them down.
