Third Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori plopped herself down onto the couch, a pen and notebook in hand. Every other minute or so, she would jot something down and then go back to staring into space.

She might've been plotting ways to annoy a certain someone with a fetish for pink. Maybe.

A.J. spent his time after work poking heads into potential rooms. Like this one, this crazy third floor common room thing.

"Tori, hey!" He waved and went to flop on the couch. "How are ya?"

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Hey, A.J.!" Tori grinned, happy to see him out and about. "I'm doing pretty well, how about you?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," A.J. answered, ducking his head slightly and grinning. "Thank you for asking. Sad that I missed the waffles and underwear, but at least I handwavily heard of it."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you're welcome," Tori smiled. "Oh man, yeah, that was quite the festival."

[by137.livejournal.com]

"And now you're going to rub it in?" A.J. asked, giving Tori a puppy-dog pout. There might have even been some wibbling on the part of his lower lip.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Rub it in? Me? Never!" Tori pretended to be offended at A.J.'s accusation. "Actually, I handwavily stashed some waffles in the mini-fridge in my room, if you'd like them?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yo, what's up delinquents?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Oooh, freezer waffles." A.J. beamed. "I'd love to have some of your waffles, Tori. But, I have to admit, my mind was a little more on the other part of the festival." He very unabashedly waggled his eyebrows.

"Hey Billy," Tori laughed. "Not much, just plotting ways to annoy the hell out of Umbridge."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Well now, unfortunately, I can't help you with that part because I declined making my own underwear," Tori sighed and shook her head. "But I know Annette made some. I'm sure she could help you out there," she chuckled.

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J.'s eyes shifted to the side for a moment; clearly, he was considering this and thinking briefly that, yes, he was quite sure she could, hum hum. And then he looked back to Tori and grinned. "Making underwear. I could probably design one hell of a pair of boxers..." The gears may have shifted, but the wheels in his head were definitely still turning.

They would need to have a utility belt...

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori smirked. "I have a feeling they'd be pretty awesome," she admitted. "I think I'll stick to surfboards. I'm not sure I'd do well designing underwear."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I like this room tonight already." he smirked. "What've you got so far? I haven't even hit her radar yet."

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Especially since you didn't even try," A.J. pointed out, teasing a little with a crooked grin.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori sighed, and conceded to defeat. "You're right. I think I'll attempt to design a pair tonight," she winked. "I can't promise it will turn out well."

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Well," A.J. said simply, "you'll just have to let me be the judge of that."

He was, after all, the artist here. He'd know. And it was a purely professional, artistic interest. Yup.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori grinned brightly. "I thought you might. Well, I came up with some small handwavey things. They're pranks that a couple of my guy friends used to play on me."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"All right, I will," Tori agreed, nodding slightly. "So what have you been up to lately? Have any run ins with our lovely temporary principal?"

[by137.livejournal.com]

"I haven't," A.J. admitted. "But I did break curfew and, uh, well, the PDA thing a bit the other night," And there, finally, his occasional spurt of self confidence faltered and he ducked his head and turned a bit red, "so there's that...."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Heh. I've been wearing clever t-shirts and broke curfew. Thinking of stepping things up a bit."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Very nice," Tori approved. "I broke curfew last night, figured I owed it to Umbridge what with everything she's been doing," she laughed. "Stepping it up, how so?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Well unless someone else does it first, I'm thinking of painting her office blue."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Very nice," Tori grinned, approving of the rule breaking. Which normally she wouldn't, but this was different. "I was a bit of a rulebreaker myself with the curfew and PDAs."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori's grin probably revealed what she thought about that. "You need help with that?" She totally approved, loving the color choice.

[by137.livejournal.com]

"It's the kind of rebellion I can really get behind," A.J. grinned, offering out his knuckle to Tori as a simple of their power to damn the man. Well, woman in this case.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah, same here," Tori nodded, smirking. She was all about damning that woman, which she totally showed by bumping her fist against A.J.'s.

Umbridge was going down.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I might could use some assistance yeah. I'm pretty sure I can get us into the office, but more hands will make the painting go quicker."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Just say when and I'm there," Tori was so in.

[by137.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," A.J. grinned at the fist bumping. "Anything else interesting?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Sweet. Till then I'll just try to keep coming up with creative ways to break her rules."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"That's what I'll be doing," Tori grinned.

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori shrugged. "Not that I can really think of, honestly. Protesting the decrees and all that, studying my lines for the show, TA'ing for a workshop and working at Book Haven," she listed. "What about you? Do you have anything interesting going on?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Last night I got into bed at 11pm. And got out at 11:01pm. For the PDA one I got a t-shirt that said "I Like You, on the front, and PDA on the back."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Billy, you are my hero," Tori beamed. "Seriously, that's awesome."

[by137.livejournal.com]

A.J.'s head tilted as he considered it. "Not really, no. Same as you, really. I got some sets done? You should have a look at them and let me get you opinion about them being inadvertently dirty."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

Tori laughed. "I will definitely check them out, I'm sure they're great."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

He laughed. "And, oh god, I just got another idea. Put out personal ads in her name."

[water-wonder.livejournal.com]

"Oh, that would be awesome!"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I'll add it to the list."
