Distractions

[Andi Lupin]

"Sorry hun. I'll stop reminding you. I really think we should do something about it, you deserve to be free to choose whomever you want." Jessica sighed. She felt bad for Gentry, he was a great guy and he was stuck with.. her. Jessica frowned. /What kind of spell could that awful girl be planning.. "What exactly was she gathering? Any ideas on what spell she might be attempting?" Jessica looked over the bar to see Madame Rosmerta bumbling towards them. "Good, I'll take a firewhisky. And for you Gentry.. Blair?" Madame Rosmerta gave Jessica a look of disapproval, but didn't deny her what she wanted.

"I'll have a firewhiskey, too." Blair had been in there about twenty minutes prior, but she had just had butterbeer. She felt like kicking things up a notch. And besides, she didn't want to look like a pansy next to the "all-mighty" Jessica Malfoy.

Dalton saw a familiar face in the window of The Three Broomsticks and walked in. He walked over to the table where Jessica, Blair, and Gentry sat. "Could you make that two, Madame?" he asked after Jessica ordered. He grabbed a chair and sat down between Blair and Jessica. "What are we talking about?" he said, tipping back in his chair a bit. "Spells? Who's attempting spells?"

[Justly]

"I'll have the same, please ma'am," Gentry said, ever the polite and charming boy he had been raised to be.
"Guess," Gentry mused with a sigh. "Just guess. Our favorite library mouse is up to something. She's gone to atleast three potion shops. And gathered a few other items..."
He drummed his fingers against the table.

Jessica grinned when Dalton sat down next to her. "Take care of everything okay?" She asked him in a whisper. Her attention turned to Madame Rosmerta bringing four firewhiskeys, and she dropped a few galleons that would more than cover two rounds of drinks for the four of them. "Thanks dear. Don't bother with the change, lord knows we'll need another round." Madame Rosmerta chuckled and left the four to their own business. Jessica turned back to the others, sipping her firewhisky at the smae time. "Gentry's sweetheart is up to something, just as we'd feared."

[elliexwood]

Blair was utterly confused as to what they were talking about. It was something about a Ravenclaw and dark magic. But what Ravenclaw would perform dark magic? Wasn't that really for the Slytherins? Blair decided that it would be best to just wait it out, or at least try to find out on her own. She was still smiling about when Gentry called her gorgeous.

[jen]

"Everything's taken care of." he replied to Jessica when Madame Rosmerta left. He took a sip of his drink, and then a gulp, letting his sink down his throat. He thought back to the library with the Ravenclaw. "So that pathetic chick is concocting something huh?" he said to no one. He took another sip of his Fire Whiskey and stared at the wall for awhile. "Well, why did you stop following her, Debeaux?" he asked, confuzed as to why we didn't know more.

[Justly]

Gentry scowled," She hung me upside down. And please refrain from calling her 'my sweetheart' Jessica dear. She still hates me," He muttered, sighing as he leaned back in his seat. He picked up his drink and downed half of it in one go.
"She's more trouble then she looks, thats for sure."

Dalton rolled his eyes at Gentry's inability to defend himself. "Wait, what do you mean? Do you know this girl in some other way than the library incedent?" he inquired, eyeing Jessica and Gentry with quetioning eyes. He also noticed Blair's googly eyes towards Gentry. "Jeez Blair. I thought you had class. Stop staring at the fellow, it's creeping /me/ out."

[Justly]

"Leave the poor girl alone, Dalton. You know you were just eyeing me not too long ago. You should be ashamed of yourself. Jessica, you should slap him on the hand for that one," Gentry advised, ignoring the first question Dalton had asked.

[elliexwood]

Blair looked at Gentry. "I feel left out, hun. I have no idea what you're talking about. And yet, I know you're going to keep talking about it, so I'm going to go to the restroom. Continue." She took a long swig of her firewhiskey, felt it burning down her throat, and walked off to the bathroom.

[jen]

"You wish I was eyeing you," was Dalton's retort. He scowled and took another swig of his drink. "So, tell me about Miss Ravenclaw. Someone.." he demanded, getting annoyed. "I hope she doesn't mean too much to you, 'cuz I'm about to rattle her brains if she's doing anything to get in the way, of anything." he said, not sure what to really say, because he didn't know what her little 'project' was yet.

[Andi Lupin]

Jessica sighed as the two bickered. "You two bicker like a married couple, it's a bit scary. First, Dalton good job on the Blair comment. Second, Gentry, you don't have to fill Dalton in on everything if you don't want to, but I'm sure he could help us if we ever come up with a plan to get you out of the whole.. thing." Jessica tried to solve all of the arguments. She did want to help get Gentry out of his predicament.

[Justly]

Gentry smiled, nodding towards Blair as she got up and left them. His eyes lingered for a few minutes on her retreating figure before flicking wearily back to Dalton and Jessica.
"I wouldn't know if she would get in the way of anything, because I'm a little unsure of what 'anything' is. I keep to myself, mostly. You know that," Gentry mused. "Jessica, I'd feel bad about you having to hide anything from Dalton over there, you might aswell let him in on things."

[Andi Lupin]

Jessica nodded in thanks to Gentry. "Well, our dearest Gentry here is.. promised to our lovely little.. Gwynny. And, I think that it's our job as his trusty friends to get him out of it." Jessica summed it up. Jessica had been running through ideas on how to help Gentry, but nothing had come to mind. "As our resident genius, I was hoping you'd have some ideas on how to get his father to change his mind about the marriage."
