The Yule Ball

Descartes yelped again. "What is this, assault on Descartes day?" he asked wiping the powder from his face. He gave Maik an exasperated look.

"No. It's..." she looked around for a moment then snatched Elrohir's shirt and threw it. "Steal Elrohir's shirt day!"

Descartes laughed softly and layed in the middle of the floor. He looked at Sonia. "Isn't your friend home?"

Courtney nodded. "Upstairs in her room."

Sonia nodded and left.

"What friend?" Maik asked?
"The one upstairs." Elrohir said impatiently "Give me my shirt back!"
Maik quickly threw it at Descartes. "I don't have it!"

Descartes laughed. He hid it in his hands behind his back. When elrohir pried his hands open it was gone. "Now where could it e?" he said.

Well. That was unexpected. But there was a simple way of making Maik tell him where it was. He edged slowly towards her then pounced, tickling her endlessly. "where is it?" he asked
"Stoppit!" Maik said inbetween laughter "Stoppit!"

Descartes glanced at courtey who nodded. "I believe good sir, it is in your back pocket."

"Ah ha!" Elrohir cried and tackled Descartes. Maik lay on the floor gasping for breath. "No fair." she mumbled "cheater."

Descartes yelped. "Eep, no."

Elrohir wrenched his shirt from Descartes and carried it off triumphantly. He put it back on proudly, despite the fact that in its tattered state it was more of a vest than an actual shirt.
"Who's Sonia's friend upstairs?" Maik asked once she'd caught her breath.

Descartes laughed softly. "Ms. Courtney's daughter. A slytherin too." he says sticking his tongue out.

"Veeery funny." Maik grumbled and stuck her tongue out at Descartets.
Elrohir laughed and poked at his shirt with his wand in an attempt to repair it. Once he got it back in one piece again he put it back on happily.

Courtney rolled her eyes. "So what are we to do asbou the current situation?"

Elrohir sighed and slumped onto the couch. "We have to set it right."
Maik nodded. She and Elrohir had to find a way to clear the four of them. Without getting arrested themselves, that is.

Courtney laughed softly. "Really." she said smiling. "Well, Fudge no doubt knows I had something to do with your disappearance. The look on his face."

Morgan tried hard 2 keep up. everything was going so fast. every1 were blurs in flying snowballs. Morgan opened her mouth to make an explanation, when a snowball landed in her mouth. it was freezing cold, and she glared around 2 see who it was thrown by. every1 looked on the virge of laughing hyserically. Then Elrohir gave himself away w/ a loud chuckle. morgan took hand fulls of snow and threw it at Maik's brother, who was quite startled in being covered in snow.

"Ha!" Yelled Morgan and she smiled at the sputtering Elrohir. She offered him a hand up, and he grined, taking her hand and swong her to the ground and stuffing snow down the back on her robes. "Ah, u little!" cried Morgan, struggling in the snow as it melted down her back, drenching her robes and her t-shirt undernieth

Maik just shook her head. "And you say I'M strange?" she turned her attention back to Ms.Higgs again. "Fudge doesn't know where you live does he?"

Morgan sat up at Fudge's name. Something was up.

"Maybe if we just went and talked to Fudge." Elrohir suggested. "Give him enough gold to forget this happened."
"Even Fudge won't do that." Maik insisted. "He hates the Huberts too much to let them go."
