&take me far away;; the slytherin crew

[hallie beatrix cauldwell]

Staring at the computer screen for a few moments after she logged off the chatroom, Hallie had no idea what to do. She typically wasn't one for partying, especially with Alfie, and it was a sure thing that Megan was going to be there. And at the moment, the two girls were exactly on friendly terms. And to spend the night with her? Hallie didn't know what she was going to do.

Realizing that she had to go tonight, no matter what, Hallie rose from her bed. She decided that it would be best to find an outfit, even though she hardly had a clue as to what was appropriate in a club. Recalling only a few times that Peyton had asked her to get ready for a party, Hal knew it was best to go with a short dress. And the shorter, the better. But she also knew perfectly well that her closet didn't hold anything close to resembling a party outfit. But she knew someone who did.

Slipping quietly out of the dorms and then out of the common room, Hallie made her way towards the dungeons. She's only been down there a couple of times, and always with the escort of Peyton, Sydney, or Megan. It was a dangerous mission, in case she got caught by Caelum or Talan, or even worse, Alfie...but a mission she had to complete none the less. She obviously didn't want to look like a fool tonight, so the risk of getting caught was worth it.

Poking her head into a random door on the right, Hallie felt relieved when she saw a portrait of her family hanging from the wall. She had found the professor's room successfully, which meant that she was one step closer to getting an outfit. Quickly crossing the room to the wardrobe, Hallie dared not to make a sound. Sydney absolutely hated when others borrowed her clothes, especially Hallie. But considering the relationship between the two eldest and youngest Cauldwell sisters was deteriorating, Hallie could care less anymore.

Searching the wardrobe for something that wouldn't be missed, Hallie found a purple dress just thrown into the back. It wasn't on a hanger, which meant that Sydney hated it. The usually messy girl, her older sister took great pride in her clothing. So without much thought, and definitely not stopping to think of the consequences if Syd caught her, Hallie grabbed the dress and ran back to her room.

Inspecting the purple dress, Hallie frowned at the shortness. It obviously wasn't her typical taste, but she was going to a club. The limits of comfort would be pushed in all directions tonight. Taking a quick shower, Hallie spent an enormous time doing her hair and makeup. Her nerves seemed to be standing on edge, especially because she didn't know if Gabby was going as well. And if not, that meant Hallie would have to spend the night with the Slytherin crew.

Sighing as she slipped into her dress, Hallie didn't know what to expect tonight. As she walked over to look at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but to notice that she did look okay. She looked at her alarm clock. Damn, only 8:30. Wayyy to early to go to a club. Not that Hallie would know, but one generally didn't go to a club until 11ish. Not knowing what else to do, Hallie flopped on to her bed, attempting to get some studying in. If Megan and Alfie were serious about taking her out for a good time, they'd have to come get her.

and if you really knew me
you'd know it's not the norm

It had taken longer than Gabby had planned for her to find a dress of Ari's that didn't scream 'have sex with me'. Nearly everything her older sister owned either didn't fit or was way too revealing. Ari had a fuller figure than Gabby, ie - bigger boobs (much to Gabby's dismay) so she found it hard to find something of Ari's that she could fill out properly without looking like the dress was hanging off of her. Eventually she happened across an older dress of Ari's that wasn't too revealing and was the perfect fit. Once the outfit was taken care of, Ari had offered to 'sex her up'. Gabby had declined but said that she could help with her make-up since that was something else she failed at. Over an hour passed before Gabby was finally ready.

Hurrying back to the Ravenclaw commons, Gabby hugged her black robes tight over the dress she'd changed into, just in case she happened across any professors. She doubted they'd be all that pleased with a student dressed up to go out clubbing even though practically the entire school did it. Either the professors were stupid or were just playing dumb to the fact that half the school's population were out getting wasted at the weekends. Not that Gabby had any intention of getting wasted.

Entering the Ravenclaw common room, Gabby headed up to the room she shared with Hallie, Alex and Mikaela. She spotted Hallie the second she entered the room and smiled "Hey, Hal" walking over to her bed, she discarded the clothes she'd changed out of and then headed over to the mirror hung on the wall. Drawing in a deep breath, Gabby removed her robes so that she was left in her dress, and lifted her eyes to see the result. Blinking, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, not quite able to believe that person staring back was her. She looked so different, more like a woman than a sixteen year old girl. It was unnerving yet.. kind of nice? Turning so that she could check over herself from different angles, Gabby nodded, somewhat happy with her appearance and turned so that she was facing Hallie.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." she mumbled and headed over to kneel besides her trunk. Lifting the heavy lid she began to search inside for a pair of heels. She only owned three pairs, two black and one red pair, but they'd do. "Where are they.." she said to herself and smiled triumphantly when she found her black patent heels. Moving back to her bed, she kicked off her pumps and slipped into her heels. "We're crazy going out with Slytherins, right?" Gabby asked, pushing back a lock of blonde hair from her face. Even though she felt determined to go through with tonight she couldn't help but feel a little dread at being out with a group of Slytherins. It was why she'd invited Felix. Because she hadn't known that Hallie would be going until much later. Of course Felix wasn't going to be all that thrilled with the idea either. Gabby hoped he wouldn't murder her for accidentally forgetting to mention that Alfie and Megan would be there.

Thinking of Felix made her look at the clock, it was 9:15 and she'd said she'd meet him at 9:30. "Alfie said we should meet him outside Club Chronos at ten." Gabby couldn't help but roll her eyes at the memory of Alfie pulling her aside to tell her that they could have a private V.I.P booth, just for the two of them. He's such a horndog. "I'm going to go down and meet Felix in the courtyard. Are you coming? I think the others will meet us there too."

I see your name in lights. We can make you a star.
Girl, we'll take the world by storm. It isn't that hard.

[/i][/right]

There was no doubt that Felix was a bit of a club whore and that he certainly had been to quite a few over his years at Hogwarts, but never once had he convinced Gabby to go with him. He had tried, persistently, pretty much since the day they had met to get her to go out with him to a club and lighten up a bit, but it had never worked. Yet, by some stroke of miracle, she was now inviting him to a club. Were it not something so completely surprising and unexpected, Felix would have been thrilled by the idea. Taking Gabby to a club had been something of a goal of his and certainly it was a reason to celebrate, but he couldn't bring himself to do that. Something about this whole ordeal was a bit off and he wasn't quite sure what that was yet. However, he absolutely intended to find out. Besides, he wouldn't have ditched Gabby after promising to go with her, so of course he'd still be going.

In general, Felix didn't really ever bother taking that long to get ready, so he waited right up to the last moment possible until he started to get together an outfit. Having been out clubbing quite a few times, it wasn't that difficult to just pull a set of clothes out from his trunk and throw them on, knowing full well that he would look perfectly fine in whatever it was. Not to mention, it wasn't like that many people would be paying attention to his clothes when his obviously very attractive face was there to look at instead. People were clearly going to be much more interesting in looking at him than at his clothes, so he wasn't all to concerned by the matter. Though, of course, he still looked rather fantastic. Even if his clothes were haphazardly put on, Felix spent a bit longer concerning himself with his hair, since that was of course one of the most important aspects of his getting ready.

As soon as his clothes were in order and his hair was set just the way he liked it, Felix decided that he may as well just head down to wait for Gabby in the courtyard. He had cleared the rest of his schedule for the night to make sure that he had plenty of time to be there for her and whatever else, so he didn't really have anything else to worry about. He considered popping in to see if Frankie needed anything before he left, but he figured she was probably fine and could owl him if it was all that important. Besides, it was Gabby that needed him at the moment and he didn't want to be late for this. Even if he wasn't sure the entire story behind why they were going, he was quite pleased that she had at least made sure to invite him along to her first serious clubbing experience.

Padding down the stairs from the Gryffindor tower, it took Felix a few minutes to get down to the main floor of the castle and out into the courtyard. With a cursory glance around, he assured himself that he was the first to arrive, about ten minutes early or so. Felix wasn't often an early person, but when it came to Gabby he was always careful to be there when she needed him. She was pretty much one of his best friends ever and he didn't want to screw that up. Not to mention, he was a slight bit worried about the whole clubbing thing. Sure, he could understand that she wanted to loosen up a bit, but what had driven her to that point was an entirely different story and of course he was quite entitled to be a tad bit troubled by it all. Though, it wasn't like there was much he could do about it besides be there for the girl.

[hallie beatrix cauldwell]

Looking over her books, Hallie's thoughts kept wandering back to the events taking place tonight. She honestly couldn't believe what she had gotten herself into, but she was quite proud for once. It wasn't going to be a typical Saturday night for this Cauldwell, and she felt like her sisters would tolerate her a little more after this outing. Opening her iPhone once more, Hallie sent Braden a message, inviting him out for the night as well. Obviously on her first official club outing, she needed her strong boyfriend. Just in case any of the other guys in the club, specifically named Alfie, tried to make a move on her. Not to mention, they hardly spent anytime with each other since they made it official, or whatever Bray wanted to call it.

Hearing someone enter the room, Hallie looked up from her iPhone. She watched as Gabby looked herself over in the mirror. Hal was stunned, as the latter girl looked amazing. Wow Gabby! You're so beautiful! Hallie beamed, as her eyes flashed to her vibrating phone. Flooding over with excitment, Hallie couldn't believe that Bray had yes to going tonight, even if he wasn't so excited about the whole Alfie situation. But he'd just have to get over it, because nothing could ruin Hallie's first true club experience.

Bringing her attention back to Gabby, Hallie couldn't help but flash a smile. Yeahh we are. But just think, we're breaking the sterotypical Saturday night habits. She pulled herself up, so she was sitting on her legs rather than lying on her stomach. We're going to have so much fun tonight. You, me, Mikaela, and Alfie! She hoped Gabby wouldn't pick up on the fact that she forgot Megan. But apparently the girl had some other business to attend to in Italy, and once she got an idea in her head, there was no stopping Megan.

Sliding off the bed, Hallie looked down to make sure the dress was okay. She still thought it was pretty short, too short for her comfort, but she couldn't back down now. It'd be letting Gabby down, and her personal mission to have more fun. Reaching down to pick off a piece of lint, Hallie nodded towards the girl. Uh yeah. And I hope you don't mind, but I invited Braden as well. It's kind of our first date. Grabbing the jacket that was next to her on the bed, Hallie walked towards Gabby. She smiled again, knowing that there was no back out now. Okay, I'm ready. She linked arms with Gabby, and walked out of the room, off to meet their waiting guys.

When it came down to compliments, Gabby had a bad habit of scoffing, shrugging her shoulders and brushing them off with some sarcastic remark. It wasn't often that she received them, at least where her looks were concerned, and so she wasn't the best at accepting them. However when Hallie complimented her look for the night, Gabby couldn't help the shy smile that pulled at her lips. "Thanks, you look goo-" Gabby stopped mid-sentence and gaped at her room-mate. "Damn Hallie. You look hot." closing her mouth so that she wasn't gaping at her friend like a fish, Gabby smiled. "Where have you been hiding those sexy pins?" she teased.

All of a sudden Gabby felt that her dress was sort of doll like and kiddish compared to Hallie's very sexy short one. For a moment she wondered if she should go change into one of her sisters other more slutty dresses. Because where Hallie's dress said 'PARTY!' Gabby thought her own shouted 'PROM!' It wasn't exactly the sort of dress you wore to a club. But she felt comfortable in this dress and she was already going to be way out of her comfort zone by going to a club tonight. She didn't need to feel worried about flashing too much skin as well. With that short moment of internal worrying over with, Gabby returned her attention to Hallie.

What did she say? Something about having a good time with Mikaela and Alfie. "Ah, yeah, right. It's going to be fun." She smiled, hoping Hallie didn't think she was being rude and grabbed her clutch from her bed just as the other girl mentioned Braden. "Of course I don't mind." she shrugged "Alfie might though." she rolled her eyes here but smiled at the thought of Alfie's disappointment when he couldn't get with hit on Hallie. Of course that just left herself to be targeted by him. Not that Gabby was a pushover when it came down to flirtatious, egotistical boys. She liked to think she could handle herself.

The walk to the courtyard wasn't a long one and Gabby chatted with Hallie about tonight and the possibilities it might bring. "So, are you and Braden serious now?" she asked, genuinely curious, just as they were stepping out into the courtyard. It wasn't hard to spot Felix stood across the open space. He looked completely at ease and Gabby couldn't help envy him. Sure she looked calm on the outside but her stomach was a knot of nerves. Though she had to admit that there was a little excitement mixed in there. Geez, I'm only going to a club. It's no big deal. Releasing a deep breath in an attempt to shake the tension from her shoulders, Gabby smiled brightly once they'd reached Felix.

"Mr Wood. You scrub up nice." That was another thing she envied about Felix. He could throw on any old outfit and still look a model cut straight from a magazine. Sometimes life just wasn't fair. Pushing the same annoying blonde lock from her face, Gabby glanced around. "Is Braden meeting us here too?"

Just look at the way that he dressin'

[/i][/right]

Seeing as how it was his video game night, Braden wasn't particularly thrilled to be dragged out to the club. Sure, he liked being at the club sometimes and dancing wasn't so bad for the most part, but it was the night he was supposed to sit on his couch and play Call of Duty. Obviously, it was a pretty big deal that his entire crew would be there to hang out and play for pretty much the entire night and to miss it was just not cool. However, Hallie was apparently adamant about his whole going out thing and he was, alas, not going to be allowed to sit on his couch with pizza and beer. Technically, he probably could have just ignored her and not gone anyways, but he didn't want her anywhere near Alfie if she was alone. That was enough incentive for him to get up from his couch and go off to the club to hang out with whoever it was Hallie was going out with that night.

To be perfectly honest, he didn't care much about how he looked or anything, since he didn't want to be there in the first place. However, he didn't want to look like a total bum, so he attempted to find something amongst his closet that wasn't wrinkled and dirty. Which, given his general lack of cleaning ability, didn't leave all that many options. However, he did have a nice pair of jeans and a fairly decent looking shirt that he was able to throw on. Besides, it wasn't like Hallie really would care all that much. She'd seen him wearing the most fail things in his outfit and had yet to leave him, so obviously he would look fine in whatever it was he chose to wear. He didn't quite know what time to head over to where they were meeting, nor did he particularly care, so he simply left once he was dressed and after he had finished another round or two of Call of Duty. After all, he deserved at least a few rounds if he was being forced to go babysit his girlfriend at the club.

Leaving from the room he kept down in the dungeons for himself, Braden started to make his way up to the courtyard to meet with Hallie. He was pretty sure that he wasn't running too late, but than again he wasn't exactly the master of keeping time and it was entirely possible that he was way later than he knew. However, that didn't make him walk any faster than he was at the moment and he tended to move at more of a slow amble than anything. He'd get there eventually and that was good enough for him. He couldn't be bothered to worry about whether or not Hallie would get upset with his lack of timeliness anyways. It was enough, in his mind, that he was even showing up and for that she should be eternally grateful. Or, well, at least she should be impressed with his effort.

Reaching the entrance to the castle, Braden pushed open the door to leave from the entrance hall and make his way to the courtyard. When he arrived, he saw that everyone else was already starting to gather, showing that he was either a bit late or just about on time. Walking forward to meet the group, his eyes flicked between the three, stopping when they landed on Hallie. She looked, admittedly, pretty damn hot. Perhaps Braden wasn't too terribly upset about the fact that he was coming along for the night. "Mm," he said with a nod as he joined the group. His greeting was no more than a grunt, but it was enough as far as he was concerned. Obviously, Hallie had to see that he was displeased with her dragging him around the town, even if he wasn't all too bothered by the fact. Especially not when she was wearing a dress like that.

[/i][/right]

It didn't take long for Felix to grow rather bored of waiting for the rest of the crew to show up for their night out clubbing. Though, to be perfectly honest, he didn't even know who all was coming. He figured it was probably going to mostly just be a couple of Gabby's other Ravenclaw friends that were trying out the clubs for the first time or something, which could definitely be fun. Felix would have no problem showing everyone the ropes and whatever else they may have required for the evening. He was just oh so very gracious like that, obviously. Leaning up against one of the pillars in the courtyard, Felix positioned himself so that he could see the people coming in and out of the courtyard, just to be sure that he didn't miss Gabby and the others. He was sure they'd show up soon enough, anyways, and he wanted to be there to greet her.

It didn't take more than a few minutes for his attention to be quickly captured by Gabby and whoever that friend of hers was. They both looked quite gorgeous, definitely a plus, so Felix was a bit excited to be taking them out for the evening. He didn't know if any other guys were coming, but he sort of hoped that he would be the only one surrounded by the group of girls that were bound to follow him there. Certainly, that was a situation that he was more than happy to get used to. Grinning as the two girls walked over to where he was standing, Felix nodded a quick hello to the two. Perhaps Gabby deciding that she wanted to go out clubbing wasn't such a bad idea after all. He couldn't say that it was all too terrible to see her in a dress and all dolled up, after all. Even if she was his best friend, she was still hot.

Shrugging a bit at her comment, he gave her a rather pompous look. As if he didn't always look particularly gorgeous. "And you, Gabby darling, look absolutely stunning," he commented with a smile, the compliment completely genuine. Moving away from the pillar that he had been leaning up against, he moved over a bit closer towards Gabby, his protectiveness kicking in. Obviously, with her looking like that she was going to need him next to her at all times to keep her safe from any guys that might have bad intentions at the club. That was, after all, pretty much the reason why he was there anyways. At least, that was what he assumed his job for the evening was anyways. Even if it wasn't, he would be there to push any unwanted guys away from Gabby regardless.

At the mention of Braden, Felix's eyebrow rose slightly in question. If he wasn't mistaken, Braden was the fail of a caretaker that was supposedly working around the castle and Felix definitely wasn't all too fond of the guy. There was already the conflict of houses between them, but the fact that he was a guy and invading on his territory also didn't help things. However, before Felix could make any efforts to protest, the other guy was coming up behind them and moving in close towards Hallie. Felix wasn't going to be the one to play nice and greet the guy, so he simply nodded a bit as the guy walked over. "So, is this it? Or do we have anyone else coming to join us?" Felix questioned, curious to see who else would join the rather odd group that was starting to form.

This isn’t typical of me
Everything opposite of what I’m to be.[/right]

Hearing many compliments throughout her life about how gorgeous she looked, Hallie has never heard one about looking sexy. That job was supposed to be taken by her two older sisters, so of course she flushed at the statement. Thanks Gabby. They’ve been here all along, but no one notices them. Waiting for Gabby to finish getting ready, Hallie looked down at her own dress. She suddenly felt overexposed, because Gabby’s dress was modest, but nice also. Worrying that her own dress screamed slut, Hallie wondered if going to the club was the best thing to do after all. Sure, she wanted to loosen up a bit, but there had to be a better way to do it than partying.

Turning her attention back to the other girl, Hallie smiled. She rolled her eyes when Gabby mentioned the fact that Alfie would be jealous of the guest she invited. Well, he’s just going to have to deal with it. Glancing at her reflection in the mirror, Hallie recalled the conversation she had with Braden just a couple of minutes before Gabby entered the room. She bit her lip, remembering how angry Bray seemed when she mentioned that Alfie was going clubbing as well, and she hoped that there wouldn’t be any fights between the two boys this evening. She definitely didn’t want to ruin Gabby’s night over a possible mistake of inviting Braden.

Walking down the tower towards the courtyard, Hallie lit up at Gabby’s question. Yeahh. I think we’re a couple now. I’m not entirely sure if he thinks that though. Realizing that her answer made her look like a complete fool, Hallie shrugged it off. She didn’t exactly know how to label her relationship with Braden, simply because he would never give her a straight reply. And of course he wasn’t into the whole exclusive, serious relationship like she was. Pushing the door open to the courtyard, Hallie instantly saw a guy leaning against one of the pillars. She sucked in her breath, thinking that it was Braden waiting for her. But when the light hit the guys face, disappointment washed over the girl. Gabby, is that Felix Wood? Is he coming with us tonight? Walking over towards Felix with Gabby in tow, Hallie gave a bright greeting. Even though she didn’t know Felix personally, she obviously knew he was a pretty good Quidditch player, and had seen him around the castle.

Allowing Gabby to take over with the conversation, Hallie looked around the courtyard to see if anyone else was coming. Noticing that it was empty except for the three of them, a small sigh escaped from her lips. She knew Bray wasn't exactly the best at keeping time, but she didn’t know if he decided not to come at all. Not only was he pissed off about the Alfie situation, it was also his Call of Duty night, which she was pulling him away from. Opening her purse to pull out her iPhone, Hallie glanced up to the sound of the door shutting. She flashed a smile when she saw Braden making his way over to the group, and went over to give him a hug. Well hey you. I didn’t think you’d come. Dropping her arms, but remaining at his side, Hallie addressed Felix. Yep, this is it. Gabby said we’d meet Alfie at the club. Glancing up at Braden, to see if there was any change in his reaction, Hallie whispered a sigh of relief. Even though he had to show Hallie that he didn’t exactly want to be here, as evident by the grunt of a greeting he gave the group, he was still here. And that’s all that mattered to her. Alright then. I’d say we’re ready to go.

The walk to the club was a short one, filled with the chatter of Gabby and Felix behind Hallie and Bray. She obviously wanted to fill the air with her own conversation, but she was drawing a blank as to what she and Bray could talk about. Finally, halfway through the walk, Hallie mentioned their dog. So how’s little Ripper doing? Better I hope? Although it was a lame excuse for a conversation, the effort on Bray’s part seemed to be lacking, as he gave her his typical one word responses. Making a mental note to try and connect more on Braden’s level, Hallie heard the loud music before she saw the club. Stopping to wait for Gabby and Felix to catch up, she looked over at Braden. I seriously do not know what possessed me to do this tonight. Nearing the club, Hallie became more nervous, as she realized that she definitely wasn’t the party animal. She didn’t know how to act in a club, she didn’t know how to dance, and didn’t know how to drink. Getting right down to it, Hallie would have been better off spending the night studying or painting, like she does every weekend. Sure it could get boring sometimes, but it was something she was good at.

Searching the outside premise for Alfie, Hallie spotted him waiting near the front door. With the group in tow, Hallie made her way over there, feeling the hairs on her neck rise. Hey Alfie. You look nice tonight. She practically had to shout over the music, and they weren’t even inside yet. She looked over at Gabby, a feeling of nerves and excitement flooding her stomach. Alright Gabs, are you ready to do this? Stepping into the club, Hallie was hit with a wide range of emotions that left her confused. The strongest was perhaps jealousy, seeing all of the beautiful girls in the club. Hallie was pretty, but she definitely couldn’t compare to the girls on the dance floor. Turning her attention to Alfie, she smiled weakly. Okay, I’m in your territory now. Lead the way.

[alfie alexander chase]

I make them good girls go bad

Throughout the day Alfie had felt his excitement for the night ahead on a steady decline. Not only had Megan bailed on him but Hallie, the girl he'd planned to make some kind of move on, was bringing that caretaker boyfriend of hers. Of course Alfie doubted she'd cheat but he would have tried because he did like a challenge and well, she was sexy. But now that Braden was tagging along, Alfie didn't think there was much point. Sure he thought Braden was a loser but he didn't doubt that the older teen would kick his arse for making a move on his girlfriend right in front of him. Well, he could try to kick his arse. Trying to get a snog out of Hallie really was not worth the hassle or the risk of a black eye. Besides there was always Gabby. Getting a snog, and possibly more, would be easy once he got a few drinks in her. That thought alone had been enough to raise his level of excitement back up again.

After deciding that the night might not be so bad after all, Alfie had gotten ready around Six pm and had headed to the club to start drinking early at eight. The night was no doubt going to start out very slow, he was planning to party with two ravenclaws and a caretaker, people who weren't what anyone would call party animals. So, he decided to start the party for himself early so that hanging with the others would feel a little more like he was hanging with friends rather than babysitting nerds and a loser.

Upon arriving at the club, Alfie had headed straight upstairs to see Nate. It had been the first time in a long time that they had spoken and if Alfie was being honest, it was sort of nice to have a drink and a chat with his big brother. Not that Alfie would ever let on that he enjoyed spending time with Nate. When it had gotten to around 9 pm Alfie had headed down into the club where he spent the next hour at the bar, drinking and flirting outrageously with Milie, who still insisted he was too young. Alfie would smile and wink every time she said it because it meant that one day, when he wasn't 'too young', he'd have a chance. One hour and four drinks later and Alfie was stood at the entrance to Club Chronos, waiting for the others to arrive.

Barely a minute passed before Alfie spotted Hallie and Braden followed by Gabby and.. Felix Wood. What the fuck was he doing here? An irritable frown pulled at the corner of his lips. Brilliant. Not only did have that douche Braden here but Felix too. Not that he had anything personal against the other two males. It was just that Braden was the caretaker and Felix was a Gryffindor, people Alfie wouldn't usually associate with. Ever. (Unless of course the Gryffindor was a hot female.) Luckily for Felix, he played Quidditch. Alfie might have been an arse to every Gryffindor he crossed paths with but he did have a certain degree of respect for other Quidditch players, especially captains and players with skill that neared his. Of course Felix couldn't ever dream of being as good as Alfie on the field, that was just ridiculous.

Pocketing his hands, Alfie's lips slipped into an easy grin as Hallie and the others approached. Of course his smile was for the women only. He simply glanced over Braden in acknowledgment and gave Felix the briefest of nods before winking at Gabby. "Why thank you, Hallie." He looked back to the brunette and lets his eyes wander up her body, slow and purposeful. "Don't you look.." he paused here and glanced at Braden, a smirk on his lips. "..delicious." he flashed Braden an innocent smile and then turned, indicating for the others to follow.

Alfie liked that the crowd parted like the red sea when he entered, as if he were royalty. Having a club owner for an older brother wasn't bad at all. As they walked further into the club, Alfie pondered over whether or not he wanted to take the others into VIP. Sure that had been his promise earlier but that was when he thought he'd have the company of three beautiful girls, Megan, Hallie and Gabby minus Braden and Felix. Of course getting them into VIP would show his power and status and sort of make him like the Alpha male of the group. Or something along those lines.

A wicked and almost sinister smile settled itself on his lips when Hallie asked that he lead the way and in that moment, Alfie really wished she hadn't brought Braden along. The fun he could have had with Hallie would have been excellent and of course then he'd be able to say that he'd bedded all three Cauldwell sisters. Megan, Peyton and Hallie. Of course the eldest sister, Sydney or whatever her name was, didn't count since she was off doing whatever. "This way." Alfie led the way to the back of the club where the VIP area was situated. A nice open area that overlooked the rest of the club. Only the rich and famous got to enter and of course Alfie and his friends whenever Nate said it was okay, which was pretty much all the time. Seeing Alfie's approach, the bouncer stepped aside and unhooked the green rope, allowing them access. "Cheers." Alfie flashed the large man a grin and took the steps that led to the VIP lounge. Almost immediately he headed straight to the bar. "Milie." he greeted the brunette with a grin and listed off five shots and five drinks for the others, not caring to ask what they wanted.

"These drinks are on me." Alfie said and nodded at the glasses Amelie was filling. "No need to thank me." he said and turned his eyes on Gabby. "You can though Davies. When we're alone." he winked, his smirk completely predatory. He ignored Gabby’s comment and the look she gave him when she rolled her eyes. Once Amelie had finished with the shots, Alfie began to hand them out to the others in turn. "Drink up, kiddies." He grinned and watched, as if daring Hallie and Gabby with his eyes, to do the shots.

I'm out of character
I'm in rare form

and if you really knew me

Glancing out the corner of her eye, Gabby simply smiled and 'Mmm'd' at Hallie's answer to her question about her relationship with Braden. Hallie seemed a little confused over whether or not they were an official couple and although Hallie only ever had good things to say about Braden, Gabby hoped he wasn't playing her.

The same awkward and shy smile that had graced her lips earlier at Hallie's comment had returned in response to Felix's compliment. Uncomfortable with the warmth filling her cheeks, Gabby quickly brushed it off with another of her sarcastic comments. "Ah, this is nothing. Just rolled out of bed, actually." She grinned and waved her hand as if to dismiss his compliment. Crossing her arms across her chest in

The very second she asked if Braden would be meeting them here too, the caretaker arrived. Gabby smiled a little as Hallie rushed over to hug her boyfriend and purposefully ignored the jealous voice whispering in the back of her mind. "Hey." Gabby smiled in greeting at the new arrival and crossed her arms over her chest in a self-conscious attempt to cover herself. It was a second before she realized what she doing and immediately dropped her arms. She was about to answer Felix's question before Hallie beat her to it, mentioning Alfie in the process. Gabby blanched and quickly looked at Felix out of the corner of her eye to gauge his reaction. She'd yet to tell him that they would be joining Slytherins because she knew how he could get over the house rivalry drama. Of course she felt bad for 'accidentally forgetting' to mention that Alfie and Megan would be there but she didn't think he'd go with her otherwise and she really wanted him there with her, especially since Felix was familiar and comfortable with the club scene.

"Right! Let's go." Gabby agreed, a little too enthusiastically, because she wanted to get Felix at least half way to the club before telling him. Following Hallie and Braden's lead, Gabby tailed behind besides Felix. The closer they got to the club the more Gabby felt that maybe her plan to get closer to Ari through being a little more like her, was kind of stupid. But ever since they'd had their 'reunion' if that's what you could call it, Gabby hadn't felt close to her sister at all. Maybe it made her a little pathetic and somewhat desperate to be doing this but there was no harm in trying. Besides she might end up loving the whole party scene, though even she had to admit that it was unlikely. Still, she'd decided to do this so she was going to see it through.

"So, there's something i should tell you." Gabby said finally, "Promise not to kill me?" a nervous chuckle escaped her lips and she shrugged her shoulders "It was Megan Aldridge who talked to me into coming. Well she didn't talk me into it exactly, just gave me a little push I guess. She's supposed to be there tonight. Alfie Chase too." Giving Felix her sweetest smile, Gabby hoped he was in a good mood and would be more chill about her letting it slip rather than get pissed at her.

Just look at the way that he dressin'

[/i][/right]

As Braden ambled into the scene where Felix, Gabby and Hallie were crowded he was slightly taken aback by the greeting he received from Hallie. Sure, he knew that they were some sort of thing or whatever and that he probably should get used to it, but he wasn't exactly the hugging sort. In general, he wasn't exactly the mist enthusiastic and affectionate sort of guy, but Hallie most definitely seemed to be his exact opposite. However, he didn't make too much of a fuss about it, since he didn't much mind the fact that she was making a big deal over the fact that he was there. Obviously, that was exactly how she should have reacted. All the trouble that he had gone through to show up there that night warranted quite a lot of enthusiasm to see him and he could tolerate a hug if that were the case.

Shrugging a bit at her welcoming comment, Braden acted as if it were no big deal. Even though it obviously was. "Yeah, well. I'm here or whatever," he added with a rather haughty tone. The more she felt as if he were doing her some great favor by gracing her with his presence, the better of a position Braden would be in and perhaps he could convince her to leave early or something. If he were lucky, of course. He nodded briefly when she confirmed that this was the lot of the group, glad that there weren't going to be any others around. Braden wasn't always too fond of overly large groups, especially when they were filled with people that he wasn't exactly the best of friends with. Alfie and Felix most definitely fell under that category and spending an evening with them was anything but exciting. In fact, it was pretty much downright unfortunate.

Stretching out his arms slightly as the group started to head off towards the club, Braden fell into pace next to Hallie, standing protectively close to the girl as they started to move. His head was inclined towards her so he could listen and chat at her. Well, not so much chat, but at least he would be able to respond to whatever she was saying. He wasn't exactly the best at coming up with conversation topics, so he left that all to Hallie to handle. "Yeah, he's good. Had a bit of a stomach ache the other day cause I fed him half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but he got over it," he said with a nod, as if that were a very normal thing to happen to a dog. He'd been doing better with taking care of the poor thing, but there were still times that he failed epically in the whole looking after animals department. At least he tried.

The closer that they got to the club, the more nervous Hallie seemed to become, which Braden thought was sort of cute. It was weird to him that she had never been to a club before in her life, since he was used to being around parties and clubs and all that sort of thing. Shooting her as reassuring a smile as he could muster, Braden shrugged it off. "Don't worry about it, yeah? If you get uncomfortable or whatever we can split," he promised. How much of that was Braden being understanding and how much of it was just his own personal desire to go home, even he wasn't entirely sure. But, there was at least a little bit of concern for Hallie worked into that offer, which was pretty impressive coming from him. It was rare for him to show that he cared at all, so this was a good step for him.

As they reached the club, Braden had a rather irritated scowl on his face when they came up to Alfie. He didn't much care for the guy and what with all the rumours flying around about the things he'd done with Hallie, he really didn't like the guy. Not to mention, the fact that Hallie complimented him as soon as they got there didn't do anything to help matters. He shot Alfie a rather displeased look at the guy's comment, knowing full well that it was intended to rile him up. As much as he really wished he could just bash the guys face in and be done with it, he knew that Hallie probably wouldn't be too happy with him about that. Than again, it wasn't like there was much she could do to stop him and she probably wouldn't get mad enough for him to really feel all that bad.

For now, however, Braden shook off the overwhelming desire to just punch the kid and settled for following him back to the VIP suite, being sure to stay close to Hallie. He didn't trust Alfie and obviously, he couldn't let anything happen to Hallie on his watch. He snorted slightly as Alfie started to get cockier, passing out drinks and acting as if he owned the world. He nodded his head at the guy when he took his own shot, tipping it back to down it quickly, not hesitating slightly as he drank it. He kept a cautious eye on Hallie, not sure how she handled her alcohol. He knew the other Cauldwells drank it up like crazy, but he doubted that Hallie was drunk all too often and so he knew that he had to make sure he was there to be sure she didn't get too crazy.

I see your name in lights. We can make you a star.
Girl, we'll take the world by storm. It isn't that hard.

[/i][/right]

If there was something that always managed to amaze Felix, it was how different he and Gabby were. He was the sort that took compliments well and in fact tended to thrive on the compliments he received. Gabby, on the other hand, turned bright red with just his simple little comment, reverting instantly to her crutch of sarcasm. Felix had come to learn not to take her all to seriously when she did that and simply shook his head slightly, giving her a bit of a chuckle. "Oh but of course. You're just naturally that stunning. Kind of like me," he said with a wink and a grin. Even though he was a bit hesitant about this whole adventure, he was starting to loosen up a bit. Gabby was just going out with her friend and her friends boyfriend. What was so wrong with that? Well, until Alfie Chase was brought into the mix.

When Hallie mentioned the name Alfie, Felix brushed it off for a moment, not taking much note of it. After all, Gabby wouldn't have deceived him like that and blatantly left out the very important fact that they would be going out with a Slytherin, right? Oh how very wrong that was. When he saw that look that Gabby gave him when Alfie's name popped up, Felix realized that he had definitely been played. Gabby had purposely been avoiding telling him about the Slytherin just to ensure that he didn't outright say no to coming along. Though, a part of him was pretty certain that the fact would have just made him more determined to accompany Gabby, just to make sure that she had someone there to protect her. Though, that certainly didn't make him any less okay with the fact that she had hidden this from him.

As the group started off towards the club, a rather sour look took over Felix's face as he walked a few paces behind with Gabby next to him. Obviously, she had better apologize or have some sort of good explanation as to why, exactly, she had gotten herself into a situation where she was going to a club with someone like Alfie Chase. Looking over at her with a slight frown to his eyes, he raised an eyebrow expectantly as she started to talk. Most of it was just for show, since even with something like this it would be neigh impossible for him to genuinely get upset with Gabby. She was just one of those people that, no matter how much he wished it were different, he couldn't bring himself to be really mad at her for all that long.

He inclined his head slightly at her nervous question, signaling her to tell him whatever it was she had to say, even if he was pretty sure he didn't want to hear it. Yeah, he definitely didn't want to hear it. Leaving it in silence for a moment, Felix wasn't really sure how to respond to that. "Well. Good of you to warn me about that, mate," he said, the tone of his voice turning quite bitter. "You know, I would have come still. If you had asked...even if you'd told me they were coming." Felix was doing his best to keep his voice level enough that he didn't sound angry. He knew it was already a pretty intense night for Gabby and he certainly didn't want to make it any worse by his being a bitch about the situation. Though, that didn't mean that he was going to be friendly to Alfie or Megan by any means. He just wouldn't be mean to Gabby. For now. He'd get her back later somehow.

Reaching the club, Felix had a threatening gleam to his eye that was intended for Alfie as a warning not to mess with him or Gabby. He wasn't opposed to getting violent if the guy did anything at all to make Gabby uncomfortable, but he would rein it in unless something serious happened. Maybe. Refusing to greet the guy in any way, he simply followed back into the VIP lounge where Alfie started to hand out shots. Felix wasn't much of a drinker and knew that tonight he definitely wanted to keep his wits about him, so he passed on the drink that Alfie offered him. Besides, he didn't know if he trusted it anyways. It could be poisoned for all he knew. He shot another threatening look to Alfie at his comment to Gabby, refraining from saying something back. "So, Gabs, want to dance or something?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at her with a slight smirk. Might as well have some fun while they were there.

I'm out of character
I'm in rare form

and if you really knew me
you'd know it's not the norm

It wasn't often that Felix ever got truly angry with Gabby. Sure they sometimes argued and bickered like an old couple but it was never anything majorly serious. If they did have a fight they usually forgave each other pretty fast. Gabby had thought Felix would be beyond pissed by the fact that she'd purposely hid that Alfie and Megan would be joining them. She could tell that he was annoyed and trying to hide it but when he spoke it sounded like he was disappointed in her more than anything and that made her feel horribly guilty. It was like when a parent said that saying when you'd done something you shouldn't have; 'I'm not angry with you, I'm just disappointed.' Gabby was positive she would have preferred an angry Felix because now she felt like a naughty child.

Gnawing on her lower lip, Gabby only a managed a quick 'Sorry' before they approached the club and were greeted by Alfie. Her eyes glanced around the outside of the club and the few people who were scattered around chatting and smoking. When they entered the club, Gabby crossed her arms over chest and moved so that she was close to Felix. The club was huge and the music pounded against her ears loud and heavy. Bodies gyrated all around her and as her eyes darted around her surroundings Gabby couldn't help but feel, again, that her dress didn't fit in with the club scene. Or maybe she just felt that she didn't fit in with the club scene. Curled up in front of a fire with a book or bumming out, watching a movie with mountains of sweets was her typical Friday night. Not going out to a club. Shaking her head to push out the doubt and nerves that were rolling around in her brain, Gabby pressed her mouth into a resolute line; she was going to do this.

Once they'd reached and entered the VIP Gabby felt much more comfortable. Although the music was still loud and the VIP area was large, it was a lot more private and Gabby thought it was the perfect place to start out the night. Back here she could loosen up and let her hair down before having to face the craziness that was back in the main part of the club. When Alfie handed out the shots Gabby hesitated but took it from his grasp when he gave her an almost mocking look. She stared back, unfazed when he gave her a sly smile and then rolled her eyes at his comment. "Don't get your hopes up." she said dryly and looked to Felix when he declined his shot. For a moment Gabby wanted to follow his lead because she wasn't much of a drinker. At all. Her alcohol tolerance was very low. She'd only ever had alcohol once, at an uncles wedding and she'd been drunk after three drinks. But Alfie was staring at her with that stupid mocking grin of his and Gabby was 100% positive her sister would knock it back without a second thought. Breathing out a sigh, she counted to three and then quickly drank the shot. Immediately her face screwed up into a grimace and she shook her head again, as if to rid the the taste that lingered on the back of her tongue.

"Here babe, you can have Wood's too, since he can't handle shots."

Before Alfie could say or do anything else to provoke or taunt Felix, Gabby snatched the drink from Alfie, spilling some of it on her hand and drank what was left in the small glass, which wasn't much, thankfully. Handing the glass back to Alfie, Gabby looked to Felix when he asked her to dance."I would love to." Gabby smiled at Felix and gave Alfie a smug smirk of her own. She took Felix's hand and wandered over to the VIP dance floor."He's such an arse." she commented once they were out of ear-shot and glanced back at Alfie.

Stepping onto the marble floor, Gabby couldn't help but noticed the shiny, silver pole positioned in the middle of the floor. "Uh.. okay.. Does this place double as a strip joint, too?" she joked, a dry smile coming to her lips. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Alfie." she shrugged a shoulder and half smiled. "But, hey, it doesn't look like Megan is coming so we only have to deal with him. So that's a plus. Sort of." Giving Felix a grin she poked his stomach playfully and then did a random spin so that her skirt lifted and twirled. "I like this dress. I mean it's not club-slut but it's nice." she then started to dance, doing completely dorky 60's moves like the jive, the egyption and the twist. It was mostly an attempt to make Felix laugh and forget that he was disappointed/annoyed with her but it was also because she was a dork and loved to goof around when she did actually have some fun.

This isn’t typical of me
Everything opposite of what I’m to be.[/right]

Walking into the club behind Alfie, Hallie stepped closer to Braden, brushing her hand against his every so often. It wasn’t like she was trying to keep his attention on her, but rather that she wanted a security blanket to make her feel safe. Because admittedly, Hallie was starting to realize that not only was it a mistake to bring Bray, as evident by the tense interaction between him and Alfie out front, but it was wrong for her to be here altogether. To be honest, this whole club scene was a little too much to handle, with the lights, and the music, and the drop dead gorgeous girls. And even though Braden offered to take her home early, Hallie was faced with a dilemma; she obviously was feeling uncomfortable, but that was what the whole idea of this night was supposed to be about—pushing the limits of comfort—and she didn’t want to seem like a loser by bailing.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Hallie followed Alfie to the VIP room, in which she was quite impressed by the treatment they were receiving. The view of the dance floor was nice, as she quite liked the pulsing lights in the floor that were radiating colors throughout the room. Turning her attention back to the group, Hallie took a seat next to Braden, practically sitting in his lap. It seemed like the closer she was to him, the safer she felt, because nothing in the club could touch her. Watching Alfie come back with drinks, Hallie hesitated for a moment before taking the shot glass. Glancing over at Bray, she saw him slam back the drink without a second thought. Obviously growing up with the sisters that she had, Hallie knew about every kind of concoction there was when it came to drinks, and she knew what to do with a shot. And although no one in the group knew, simply because Hallie wasn’t a typical Cauldwell, the youngest sister could hold her liquor, not that she was planning to drink all that much. Looking once more at Alfie, then at Bray, Hallie shrugged her shoulders and slammed back the drink. She grimaced slightly as the drink hit the back of her throat, because she could never get past the bitter aftertaste. Placing the drink back on the table, Hallie could sense that Braden was watching her. What? She addressed him fully. You didn’t think that a Ravenclaw nerd knew how to take a shot?

Getting up from the leather couch, Hallie overheard Felix asking Gabby for a dance. She thought that was sweet, and wished for her own boyfriend to do the same. But as she glanced back behind her, he was evidently intent on staring Alfie down and being grumpy. Turning her attention to the Slytherin, Hallie couldn’t help to feel bad for the boy. Obviously plans were very different from how they originally were when Megan, Alfie, Gabby, and herself spoke in the cbox this afternoon. It saddened her to think that everyone had a pair except for Alfie, and so she made her way over to where he was sitting. Hey Alfie. Thanks for getting us up here. This really is a whole different experience for me. Made possible by you. She knew that she was probably sounding lame, but it was her only attempt at a nice conversation without making Braden mad or giving Alfie the wrong idea. Besides, she did true appreciate Alfie’s effort to bring them here.

Feeling the beat to the music, Hallie decided that she wanted to dance. Taking the initiative to get Braden on the floor, Hallie walked over to him, and leaned in close next to his ear. Heyy. Do you want to dance with me? Standing up straight to look at him, Hallie gave him a pleading look. She knew he didn’t want to be here, especially not with Alfie, but she wanted to at least get him to loosen up a bit. Hallie herself was a lost hope, because she would never fit into a scene like this, but Braden seemed to fit right in with the party image. The least she could do was make the supposedly adventurous night for herself exciting for him as well.

[/i][/right]

To be honest, the last thing that Felix wanted was for Gabby to start drinking. However, he wasn't going to be a total stick in the mud and tell her not to either. The best he could do, in his opinion, was to just be there and carry her drunk ass home if she did something way too crazy. After snapping photos and savoring the moment so that he could make fun of her in full detail later on in the week and forever after that. Which, based on how quickly she downed her first shot, wouldn't take far too long to happen. Good times. As good of a friend as Felix was, he obviously couldn't pass up the opportunity to have something on perfect little Gabby. Though, obviously he would pass it off with some nicer meaning, like perhaps he would say it was a reminder to keep her from ever doing it again. That sounded about right.

Although Felix was fully aware that Alfie was just trying to get a rise from him, he couldn't help but tense up at his comments. Felix hated Alfie on a good day and today did not qualify as a good day. At all. Which simply made it that much worse. However, Felix knew that he wasn't there to fight with Alfie, as much as he wanted to punch the assholes face in. He was there to make sure the guy didn't take advantage of Gabby and so he let the comment go and simply looked over at the guy with a bit of a snarl. It was his bloody fault that Gabby was knocking back so many shots, obviously and the sooner he got Gabby away from Alfie, the better things would be. Maybe. He may take the initiative to make sure that she got a few more drinks in her to ah, calm her nerves or something. Yes, that's what it was for. To calm her nerves.

Looking back at Alfie with a superior grin as Gabby accepted his offer, Felix led her over to the dance floor with a smug expression on his face. Obviously, the fact that Alfie was alone and everyone else was paired up definitely meant that he was the loser in this situation and that made Felix feel marginally better about everything. "Yeah, yeah he is. But he's also an arse that has no pretty girl to dance with," Felix pointed out with a wicked grin. Anything that made Alfie less awesome was something that Felix most definitely intended to revel in that evening. Even if he couldn't physically attack the guy just now, he could at least take joy from the little things such as this. It wasn't entirely the same, but it was enough to keep Felix at least relatively in a good mood.

His eyes flicking over to the pole in the middle, he looked back at Gabby with a rather serious expression. "Uh, Gabs. Didn't you know that every weekend is Girls Gone Wild in the VIP Lounge?" he asked, giving her a look that implied everyone else in the world aside from her would have known such a thing. "All the girls in the club are required to dance on the pole at least once throughout the evening. Bouncers are all around watching for that to happen," he added with a serious nod, subtly pointing out the different bouncers that were walking around and watching. It was complete shit, of course, but considering the fact that Gabby had never been to a club before, Felix was holding out the hope that perhaps she would believe him. The fact that some random chick had just now mounted the pole to dance on it certainly added to his credibility, he thought.

Her apology brought nothing more than a simple shrug from Felix, since he was pretty much over the fact. "Yeah, it's whatever. Total plus though, that Aldridge isn't here. Means Alfie's all alone," he nodded, quite obviously still pleased by the fact. Besides, there was never a case where two Slytherins was better than one, since all of them were obviously evil and out to ruin the world one innocent Ravenclaw at a time. Perhaps it was simply because Felix was overly prejudiced when it came to the houses and his rivalry was probably worse than most peoples, but he was definitely not going to be pleasant when it came to dealing with Alfie or any other Slytherins that decided to show up. It was obviously his job not to be, anyways. He had to protect everyone from their overwhelming evil.

As Gabby started to twirl and prod at his stomach, Felix's sour mood fell apart and a legitimate grin appeared on his face. It was hard to be in a particularly bad mood when Gabby was acting like a complete goofus. Shaking his head a bit, Felix gladly went along with whatever crazy dances it was she was doing. He didn't have a problem looking like a fool sometimes, though he would definitely like to point out that he had much better dance moves than that. "You should probably get another drink to keep your energy up and your nerves down," Felix suggested, rather slyly, a bright smile on his face. Now that Alfie was over there, he felt much more comfortable and at ease with the situation. Taking care of Gabby wouldn't be that hard.
