Welcome to Gaia! ::

~The next day, Bella walked into the Great Hall without her normal smile. Harry was still in the Hospital Wing, and anytime that Bella would try to forget so that she could try and have a normal day, something would remind her of Harry's absence.
Bella had waited for almost ten minutes at her and Harry's normal 'good morning' spot before she remembered that he wouldn't be able to meet her; and when she passed the Gryffindor table, Bella was about to give Harry a smile when she realised he wasn't there. Sniffling slightly, Bella quickly walked over to the Slytherin table and sat down on one end of the bench, speaking to no one.
The whispers and murmurs had started when Bella had entered the Great Hall, but she didn't even notice, she was so caught up in wondering if Harry was doing alright. Bella sat in complete silence as she ate, staring off into space. She was so turned out from the world, that it took her a while to realize that someone was calling her name...~

~"Wha? Oh, hi Lina," Bella said with a smile, "I haven't seen Draco yet today, but I'm sure he'll be in for breakfast soon, don't worry." Glaring at a few first years who were staring at them, Bella turned back to Angelina and asked, "How's Harry? Have you talked to him at all today?"~

~"You mean he heard what...I... Oh bloody hell..." Bella covered her face with her hands. "And let me guess," she continued, "you're not going to tell me what he said, I have to hear it from him."~

~Sighing, Bella pulled her hands away from her face, and turned to look at Angelina, saying, "Lina, why don't you want to talk to him? I'm sure he'd understand and wouldn't get angry at you. This kinda thing happens all time! I'm sure that it's hard happening to us for the first time, but it's not like we could do anything about it. Harry got hurt, you got detention, life sucks, but what are you going to do about it? You've got to keep trying your hardest to make the rest of the day go your way!" By the end of her little speech, Bella was finally smiling for the first time today. She hoped Angelina understood what she had meant...~

~"Don't worry, I'll talk to him," Bella said grinning, "I will as soon as classes are over, I promise!" Bella looked over to see Draco entering the great hall, and she waved to him, which made him smile as he saw the two girls. Draco seemed to pause in his step, and Bella watched as he quickly whipped his wand in and out of his pocket.
As he finally reached the Slytherin table, Bella asked him, "Draco, what did you do?" Draco tried to look innocent, but Bella noticed what his spell had done over at the Gryffindor table. Both Fred and George were sporting Slytherin robes, lime green hair, and writing on their faces which spelled out: NEVER RUIN ONE OF ANGELINA'S DATES EVER AGAIN!~

~Bella sat listening to Lina's babbling, and she started to giggle, the she started laughing. When they both turned to look at her she said, "Thanks guys, I needed that." Bella stood up, grabbed her bag, and gave each of them a huge hug saying, "Alright, now go kiss and make-up, and I'm off to class. See you two later!" Bella was out the door already, but stuck her head back in for the barest of moments so that she could yell to them, "And at least make it an eight!" before she quickly ran off to class, laughing at the pair's expressions...~

Angelina smiled, happy he wasn't angry with her. The smile was replaced with a look of confusion. "How did you know I was framed for a prank? Did Bella tell you?" Angelina slid her hands around his neck without realizing it, waiting for his response.~
