In Noel's book, being a bitch totally was a valid reason to take points from Gryffindor. Especially from Gryffindor. He started to follow her, making sure not to walk too close. Who knew what she could do? She might've attacked him, really. She was a savage. She did not belong in a nice school like Hogwarts.
"I'm right behind you", he sighed, not actually thinking of where they were headed. It was not they way to Slytherin's common room, at least. Fuck. She wasn't leading him to the Gryffindor Tower, right? It was the last place on earth that he ever wanted to visit. He would probably get killed in there. A House, made out of a bunch of crazy kids.
"I'm not going inside your common room", he said and stopped behind her. He crossed his arms over his chest.

As she walked, she wondered what Noel was thinking. He really hated her, that, she was sure of. Did he have any friends except Klaus? He hadn’t mention any. Audrey herself only hung out with Eric and two girls from Gryffindor for real, the rest she met at parties and during school days. She turned a corridor and turned to Noel.
“You’ll have to. I'm not the one making the rules" she said with a shrug.
"I don't care really, it's your choice" she said and climbed through the portrait into the common room.

He shook his head. Screw the rules! Okay, not really. He would sit outside her common room until she came back. That would mean that he kind of followed the rules, right?
He walked up to the portrait and sat down, resting his back against the wall.
"I'm waiting here", he said, still with his arms crossed over his chest. He hoped that she would hurry up. If a professor saw him without his buddy, he would probably get in trouble. Trouble. Wasn't a familiar word for him, really.

“Whatever floats your boat” she said and walked in the common room. Finally, some peace. She went into her bedroom and sat down on her bed for a while, just taking in being alone for a while, it was great. She stood up, and took a blue dress from her warderobe. She put it on, and looked at herself in the mirror. She loved the dress, but it had thin straps and a cleavage, which meant that most of her scar was now visible. It went from her neck, down her chest on the right side. She touched it and stared at it for a while before shaking her head. She had come to terms with it, she told herself. She braided her hair in a French braid and fixed her makeup. She changed shoes and smiled at herself in the mirror.

She walked out the empty common room, and considered just sitting there for a while, in the silence. She walked out the portrait hole and looked down at Noel, who sat down on the floor.
“Do you want to change before we go?” she asked. She really hoped he would, no one were going to be at the party in their uniforms.

Noel didn't know what he had expected. Obviously it would take more than ten minutes for a girl to get ready. Fortunately, no professor roamed the halls. When Audrey finally came out of the portrait again she was wearing a blue dress. His eyes were, out of reflex, drawn to her cleavage. He quickly looked away, but his face turned to a shade of pink.
"Nope", he said and shook his head. He wasn't even going to remove his tie, or his Prefect mark. Why would he? The school uniform was basically the only thing that he really felt comfortable wearing.

She smiled when he saw that his eyes were drawn to her chest.
“The twins look good, don’t they?” she teased and laughed. She was secretly happy that he had looked, because that meant that he wasn’t repulsed by the scar. Not that it was disgusting in any way, but it was there, and it made her insecure, no matter how much she told herself that she didn’t care anymore. She looked at him.
“Sure, whatever” she said and started walking. She wondered how people would react when they saw a Prefect, in uniform. They would probably think that they were busted. Audrey went to the seventh floor corridor, and stopped in front of a wall. She walked past it, and did so three times, before stopping. A door was formed on the wall, and she looked over at Noel with a smile.

Her little joke only made him blush even more. He hated being a teenager, he hated having a bunch of hormones and he really hated the fact that he was attracted to Audrey.
He followed her and looked confused when she started walking past the same wall three times. Did she get some temporary brain damage? Of course she didn't. A door formed on the wall, which caused some shock for him. How couldn't he know about that? He really sucked as a Prefect.
"Impressive", he said, trying to sound sarcastic, which he failed. He was actually impressed by it.

“You’ve never been to the Room of Requirement? It’s amazing, it forms itself to whatever you want it to. So when we’re having a party, it’s like a password. Only a few of us knows what to think, so we can’t get snitched on” she said, and she hoped he took the last part personally. She entered the room, and the door disappeared behind them. Tonight’s party was the theme blue. Coincidence, she thought and looked down at her dress. Eric saw them across the room and walked up to them.
“You came! Great” he said and smiled towards them both. He looked at Audrey.
“You put on the dress” he said quietly, glancing at her neck, and Audrey nodded. Eric looked proudly at her. She glanced over at Noel, hoping he hadn’t heard. Eric turned to him.
“Welcome” he said with a smile, and Audrey started to look around. The party was going on, and people were drinking. They could never get their hands on things stronger than Butterbeer, but that was enough, since nobody wanted to get crazy drunk, anyway. She turned to Noel.
“Pretty impressive, right?” she asked.

He did take the last bit personally. Did people really hate him that much? Was he seen as a snitch by everyone, or was it just Audrey? It couldn't just be her. He tried to get rid of his silly thoughts and feelings. He entered the room after Audrey and looked around. It was blue. He was so invested at recognizing faces that he barely noticed Eric at all. At last he did, but he didn't hear what he said, so he just nodded and smiled. It could work.
"I'll have to admit that", he said, looking around again. "It is. Very."

“I know, right? I bet you don’t regret coming here” she said and smiled.
“Hey! Quidditch! How’s it going?” she heard a voice behind her. A Gryffindor student whom she knew was named Michael came up to her. Not someone she spoke with regularly, just a recognizing nod in the corridors. Why did he make it sound like they knew each other? She raised her eyebrows.
“Good” she said and nodded towards Noel.
“This is Noel” she said and Michel nodded towards him.
“Michael, nice to meet you, mate” he said and smiled before walking away. Audrey shook her head. She took a butterbeer from the table and sipped on it. She liked the taste, it was sweet.
