Room of Requirement

I nod to them, "Hello..." I shift my foot, taking a deep breath. I came to be more social.

Topher: "Want anything Hav?"

Joachim: "Oh come on, Kai, any ten would pick me over.. well anyone.."

He looked Joachim up and down and scrunched up his nose in distaste. "Yeah... You keep telling yourself that, mate."

"Oh, um, sure!" I give a small smile, clutching my book tightly.

Joachim: "Alright, let's take it up with the guru. Yo Teddy!"

Topher: "Firewhiskey fine? We got water in here too."

"I'll just have water..."

Teddy turned around at the sound of his name. "Huh? Who wants to know?"

Kai rolled his eyes, "Why are we asking the gayest guy in all of Hogwarts if a super hot chick would go with you? That makes absolutely no sense to me at all. Please explain."

Joachim: "You'll see in a sec..."

"Hey Teddy. Your into fashion and all that junk. Which one of us has it?"

Topher: I smirk and hand her a muggle water bottle, "Here you are!"

"Thank you!" I open it and take a sip.

Teddy was a bit shocked at the suddenness of the question, but he took it all in stride. "You mean which one of you is the most fashionable or which one of you is hotter? There's a difference."

Kai shook his head, sort of amused at the situation that was unfolding around him.

Joachim: "I don't know, whichever!"

Topher: I whisper to Kai, "He ain't exactly the brightest bulb in the box," I chuckle in good humor as I return to Haven, "So eah, you drink, eat, dance, whatever you feel like!"

"All right, then..." I say awkwardly.

Teddy leaned back and took a good look at both of the boys in front of him. He slowly circled each of them, pausing once he was facing them again. "Well," he began, "he seems to be better dressed." He pointed towards Kai, who smirked at Joachim in triumph. "However, Joachim is hotter than him."

Kai's smirk turned into a look of utter confusion in 0.2 seconds. "What? I'm way hotter than him."

BRB

Joachim: "HA! A guy who likes guys says I'm hotter! That means any dame would say the same!"

Topher: "Here, I can show ya dancin' if you want!"

"No," Teddy corrected, "It just means that I, personally, would hit that. Not all girls, and I really can't vouch for them seeing as I'm not a girl, go for guys like you Joachim. They'd probably go for Kai before you because he's cute and girly."

Kai would have relished in his triumph, however Teddy's words really ticked a nerve with him. He was cute and girly. Everything he despised about himself Teddy just pointed out within two minutes of them knowing each other. He took a swig of the alcohol. He needed to get out of there before someone else mentioned just how "girly" he looked.

Joachim: "that's still points to me! So HA!"

Topher: I look over at Kai, "Hey buddy, somethin' got ya down?"

"Sorry," Teddy said to Kai as he walked off.

Kai paused and shook his head. "Alcohol isn't working fast enough," he said, holding up his bottle of Firewhiskey.

Joachim: I approach Teddy, "Hey thanks for helpin' with that punk..."

Topher: "Well you know the cure to that..."

Teddy looked back at Joachim. "Did I say something wrong?" he asked pitifully.

Kai took a wild stab at it. "Drink more?"

Joachim: "What do you mean?" I ask obliviously.

Topher: "yep, that's the gist of it!" I raise my bottle to him, "To life!"

Teddy bit his lip. "I think I insulted that other guy. He sure looked mad when he walked off." He wanted to go over and apologise for something, even if he didn't know what exactly.

Kai mumbled something in agreement and took another long swig of his drink.

Joachim: I shrug, "Let 'im get over it..."

Topher: "Damn, you must be having trouble..."

Teddy uncertainly looked back at Joachim. "You're right, maybe I'm just being paranoid." He picked up a stronger drink. It had been a while since he let loose and had fun, now was going to be one of those nights.

Kai nodded. "You've no idea buddy."

Joachim: I chuckle a bit, "Just let yaself loose there, Teddy old boy!"

Topher: "Try me..."
