The Fireplace

That made Cormac even angrier! "HEY PENNY, YOU KNOW THAT DRESS THAT I SAID DIDNT MAKE YOU LOOK FAT? WELL, IT DIDNT IT WAS SEXY. IM SORRY I SAID THAT." Cormac calmed down.

Cormac started to get clostrophobic and paranoid he stripped down to his birthday suit and rolled up in to a ball in a corner

Cissy, not seeing that anything important was going down except for Cormac's meltdown, sat on the couch. She felt like she hadn't been here in ages--which she hadn't, because I ignore her in favor of Fabilicious.

Alecto walks into the Common Room like she owns it, even though she doesn't even really come in here due to a spectacular lack of attention on my part. She sits on a couch and stares haughtily around her. There's a naked boy curled up and having a meltdown, who doesn't seem particularly useful or interesting at the moment, so she nods at the blonde girl on the nearby couch.*

"Hello."

Cissy looked at the newcomer with a smile. "Well, hullo," she said. "Who are you?" she asked politely.

Alecto arches an eyebrow. Friendly. She doesn't smile back, but she doesn't glare either.

"Alecto. Carrow. You?"

Flint walked into the common room, still somewhat supporting Penny.

Penny stumbled into the common room, exhausted. she tripped over to the couch, dragging Marcus with her and collapsing on a couch.

Marcus sat on the couch next to her and put his arm around her waist and pulled her closer so she could lean against him and rest.

"so...tired..." she mumbled and curled into marcus' side

"Maybe we should just head up to my dorm and rest a little. That way it will be nice and quiet." He says the my dorm part very nonchalantly like it was normal.

Penny would have responded, but her mind was shutting down she was too tired. she just nodded lightly

Marcus got up and walked with Penny over to his dorm.

Flint walked down to the Fireplace and sat down with Penny. He had a feeling he would be sleeping here tonight.

Penny sat down and huffed "well that was rude"

"Yeah, well that's why I don't spend much time in my dorm."

she laughed "I understand!"

He chuckled and looked away awkwardly thinking about her answer to his question. "You know... if you don't want to go with me you can just tell me."

Penny shifted uncomfortably in her seat and looked down "It's not that it's just...I feel like I should get things figured out you know? trust me it's definitely not that i don't want to go with you. things are just gonna get even more weird right now and i need to figure stuff out"

"Oh, well, ummm, alright then." He looks over at her and forces a smile.

she sighed. why did she have to fuck EVERYTHING up? "look Marcus, I'd LOVE to go with you. I just-need some time to think. this whole "pregnancy" thing has really fucked a lot of stuff up and i don't really know how to fix it..." she looked down again

"No, Penny, it's cool. Whatever you want to do." He smiles down at her.

she sighed and leaned into him "Why did things have to get so out of hand? I really don't know what to do anymore!"

The truth was that things got out of hand when she decided to say 'Not too shabby.... Cormac' instead of Marcus, but he decided against saying that. "Because, someone who has no life put a charm on you for their own entertainment."

she scoffed "of course. that and allowing myself to get close to people. i've never...never done that before. I don't know why that changed so suddenly, but it happened, and had to happen with TWO guys" she shook her head and put her face in her hands
