Corridors at... Night Closed OPEN

Elizabeth was very, very, angry. She turned to Donald.
"Firstly, Fisher," she said, deeply annoyed now and hands on her wand in her pocket, "I'm going up to the dungeons and you're going to your common room (I've beent there before), which is completely different in directions! Secondly we're not going to need your handy spells. How about you just cast bombarda for the whole castle to blow up, eh? Thirdly you can wander around alone if you want if you feel a bit stifling..." She looked at the Donut in disgust, "and frankly I think you should stop eating. And," she waited for the dramatic moment, "I think Silver here likes you."
Elizabeth turned to Lizzi. "And if you want him to go with us, I'm leaving without you." She pulled out what seems like her invisibility cloak (actually a false one she made out of plastic bags she used to impress people at times), dangling it in front of her, like it was saying, "Come on, come on, Lizzi Silver, if you don't you are nothing but a moron." which surprisingly ryhmes.
Elizabeth stepped back, sitting on the floor. "I'm waiting for them to stop searching for us," she said, looking and Lizzi, "And it's your choice whether to stay here with your crush or go out there with me, with a classroom to study in."
She smiled sadly.

Lizzi listened to the heated argument passing between her two companions (she did not think she'd known them long enough to call them friends) before deciding enough was enough.
"Firstly," She turned to the girl, "I do not like him. I just met him. And secondly," she turned to Donald, "I'm sorry, but I'll take a classroom to study in over people any day."
Lizzi glanced awkwardly around the room, wondering if she'd offended either of them. I'd want to ditch myself at this point, she thought.
"It's not you! I promise Donald. I just love studying more than I like getting caught breaking curfew. Besides, she clearly wants to impress me." She said, tilting her head to indicate the string of plastic bags dangling in front of Lizzi's face, and smirking slightly.
She turned to look at the girl.
"Happy now? Or now are you going to try and convince me to go by myself? Because if not, I'd like to know your name. You know mine, you know his, can we please know yours?"
Lizzi, having already packed up her stationery, had nothing to do whilst waiting for either of them to reply, sl she simply sat staring at the floor, chewing her lip.

Donald took another bite of his donut as he considered the pair. His investment had not been huge in their adventure, and he was quickly losing what existed of it as he got lectured. Instead of arguing back or trying to throw any insults of his own, he gave a bit of a shrug and turned to the door he'd just snuck through a moment before. Just as he was about to vanish without a word, he turned back to look over Lizzi.

"If you're looking for a good study spot, there are some nice rooms no one ever uses near my common room." He tried to sound understanding rather than pushing for any actions. If she wanted to understand that as following him out, he'd let her tag along. Otherwise, he had a small plan for once he was out the door. Without waiting for a verbal response, he slipped out into the corridor completely.

If Lizzi followed, he'd wait a moment for her to be outside the room. Otherwise, after a few moments, he'd do something a little mean but also slightly protective. The Hufflepuff boy withdrew his wand and quietly emphasized a "Colloportus!" while pointing at the door. This would lock it and make it impossible to open manually without the counter spell. It would essentially trap the pair, or singular person inside, unless they knew the simple counter. He was unsure if they did, they seemed like first years.

"A valuable lesson..," He'd mutter to himself or Lizzi depending. "And a mercy so no prefect or professor wandered in casually or she got caught with that fake cloak."

Lizzi watched Donald carefully as he shrugged like he didn't care one bit, and then turned to leave. Before disappearing out of the door, the young boy looked at Lizzi. Proceeding to explain about good study spots outside his dorm room, the boy stared at Lizzi.
Why do they both hate each other when they've clearly only just met?? And why of all people, are they fighting over me?? Actually no, Lizzi corrected herself, They aren't outright fighting over me, more at me. Why are they both attempting to bribe me into coming? Why would they want to be caught with me?? Pondering this for awhile, Lizzi finally decided enough was enough.
"Look, the both of you. You're being extremely immature. I have no idea why you both want me to come with you so badly, but I think we should all just split up and go our separate ways; do our original plans. That way, neither of you win this stupid feud that you've already started when you've only just met. Deal?"
Lizzi nervously glanced around, feeling strange. She'd never been so... upfront and forthcoming before. It was oddly nice to take charge for once.
Without waiting for an answer, Lizzi slipped out of the door before Donald could shut it, and headed back to Ravenclaw common room. If they both want me as bad as they seem to, they'll follow. Otherwise, I'm not hanging around waiting to be caught.

"Deal," Elizabeth said straight away. She had not been ever so delightful to leave that classroom. Without leaving second thoughts, she marched out, calling, "The study room will just have to do without Lizzi Silver tonight, then."
If she was alone, she would go straight up back to her dormitory, unwilling to continue her mission, seeing as it is already very late.
If Lizzi tagged along, she'll say to her, "Ravenclaw, eh?" They walk in silence down the corridor a bit. Elizabeth will scan the girl up and down. If this girl is trustworthy, she'll have to prove herself to be. "Aargh!" Elizabeth screamed quite so deliberately, pointing over Lizzi's shoulder.
If Lizzi go with Donald, Elizabeth would resume to follow both of them, wishing to discover what they were doing. She would follow close up behind, in her daydreams.
If Lizzi tries to stop her from getting anywhere, she would get her wand out and -- "Tarantallegra!" would cast it on Lizzi, and sprint out of the classroom before Lizzi can fight back.
If Lizzi tags along but suggests they allow Donald in on the mission, then Elizabeth would cast "tarantallegra" on both of them and make sure the door was completely shut before leaving and going anywhere.

"Deal"
The girl walked out without further hesitation. That was that, then. They were all going their own separate ways.
"The study room will just have to do without Lizzi Silver tonight, then."
If that was an attempt at blackmailing me into going with her, it was frankly quite awful.
"That's fine by me! I was pretty stupid coming out past curfew anyway, and frankly, so were you." Lizzi called after both of her companions. "I'll see you both around, and Elizabeth, I'll guess I'll see you when you eventually decide to come back to the dorm room!"
Lizzi had only just pieced together where she had seen Elizabeth before. Of course, they shared a Dormitory.
And with that, Lizzi marched out of the room after Elizabeth, and attempted to remeber just where she was supposed to be going.
Ravenclaw common room... I'm on the Second floor, I think... West tower, I need... hmmm...
Lizzi stood in the corridor pondering for a few moments. Secretly, she was also wondering what their male companion, Donald Fish, would decide to do.
Would he follow Elizabeth or Lizzi? Would he be content with his donut and head back to his dorm? Lizzi procrastinated going back to hers, to find out what Donald would do.

Donald waited a moment as he stepped out, and it seemed the pair decided to leave their own ways rather than get trapped inside. He was content enough with that, as he wasn't heavily invested in their success or failure. Instead of casting a spell to lock the door, he wandered away with a little wave as the other two had their own paths.

"Good luck." He noted as he casually slunk back to his own common room.

A donut was a nice enough treat. Adventure was not calling his name, especially with those he'd never met. First years off to get in trouble was not his speed, if they weren't friends. The Hufflepuff was content to eat a snack, laugh at some younger ones, and move on quickly. The halls would be empty enough on the path back to the hufflepuff dorms, as few had reason to be on that level.

A few short corridors later, he'd be knocking on a barrel in just the right way to slide open the passage. Donald would sneak in, being sure to watch for a prefect, and pretend he'd been around the whole time. Late night snack, accomplished. The bed was calling his name and the next day would be back to the grind.
