"Thanks!"
The large oak doors swung shut behind her, as Penny Matthews left the hospital wing. She was clutching her left wrist with her right hand as she strode from the doors and into the hallway. Her wrist was still throbbing painfully, and Penny bit her lip a little to combat the strikes of pain as she made her way down the corridor...
It was a wednesday afternoon, and wednesday afternoons meant only one thing for Penny, quidditch. She had excitedly made her way down to the pitch, wearing partial quidditch gear, since it was only practise and she much preferred the freedom of not feeling weighted down by the bloody protective padding, sheilds bla bla, she supposed it wasn't much of an example to be setting her team, but whatever, it was the second practise of the year and she figured they could be relaxed about it... for the moment... So she was wearing her blue quidditch jersey and her quidditch pants, but was minus the usual shoulder and arm gear a chaser could usually be spotted wearing out on the pitch...
Unfortunately for the Ravenclaw, her blase attitude to her own safety caught up with her, when a rather over enthusiastic beater, on his way to smack a bludger into the outer stratisfere, flew straight into her, at speed, nocking her clean off of her broom, plummeting down and down...
Her fellow chaser made an attempt at catching her, but merely stopped her from faceplanting the floor by grabbing her wrist and effectively snapping her around, so that she hit the ground sideways instead. However it wasn't just her direction that snapped... A sickening 'CRACK' could be heard. and right then, Penny knew she had broken her wrist. Ouch. ...
So that's how Penelope Matthew's ended up in the Hospital wing on that sunny Wednesday afternoon. And though her broken wrist had been fixed up in a jiffy, it still was very tender and would take a while before its full strength would return. So 'BE CAREFUL' was the stern advice given and Penny had rather sheepishly smiled in return...
Unfortunately again for the Ravenclaw, the sound advice was lost as she meandered down the corridor, absent mindedly daydreaming about James as she blindly rounded a corner...

- - - - - - - - - - So much had changed in the course of a short time. One, he had met the peculiar Lucy Weasley, who didn't seemed frighten of his rude nature towards her when she first entered his secret sanctuary. Well not really a secret, a hell of a lot of people know about the place, it was just that Noah usually came to the Room when he was sick of his 'Good-Finder' house and wanted to take it out on the ivories. Two, that same Lucy Weasley had intrigued him, pulling out a part of him that he wasn't sure existed. Sure, he had known her from their History of Magic class. but the both of them never truly took notice of one another until this year. She had so easily wormed her way into life, and it terrified him at first, he had never in his entire life allowed a single human being to be as close to him as Lucy had become. And thirdly, he was now dating that beautiful creature who broke through his shy shell. They had already become attached at the hip, heading to the Room of Requirements as often as possible to play to one another, he on piano or guitar or her on cello or singing. Her voice was magnificent, he could just sit and listen to her sing all day if he could. But then there was the other thing they did when they both were there, snog each other senseless.
You would think that this being both their first relationship they would be nervous to kiss one another, but for Noah it felt completely natural. Just like walking, placing the smallest kiss on Lucy's lips when they spotted each other in the hallway was just as natural. Did it frighten him to see how close they were getting? Yes. He was already invited to the Weasley's big old Christmas, which included the Potters and Ted Lupin and his fiancee, but he believed that she was already a Weasley, so she had been to the family gatherings several times. At this Christmas, he would meet every Weasley man and be interrogated, as he had been warned by Lucy several times. But what frightened him the most was Percy Weasley, Lucy's father. He was apparently the worst out of the batch, Lucy being Daddy's Little Girl since day one. He wasn't sure how he was going to even passed holding her hand, let alone a little snog here and there. But gladly, he wasn't alone. Penny Matthews, a girl in Ravenclaw in his year, would also be attending the Weasley party. Sure it wouldn't be as bad as it was for her then it would be for him, but it was someone who wasn't used to the traditions either.
But then again, he was actually excited as well. This was the first time in his entire life that he was actually living. Before he was ultimately doing everything to please his father. Since his childhood shyness, Noah was ignored by his father. All he cared about was trying to please the man, but nothing seemed to work. When he got sorted into Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin, that was just the icing on the cake. His father completely ignored him then, Ria his mother would try and soothe her sons pain but no no avail. There was nothing that could be done to change her husband's mind on their son, but still Noah tried for six years. When he realized that he was falling for Lucy, he wasn't sure if he could do it. Dating what his father called a blood-traitor? That would be the end to it. It was Penny, Lucy's best friend who convinced him to do it. Her parents were disappointed in her as well, so they sorta knew what was going on with one another. He was glad he listened to her now, because Lucy seemed to ease all the pain his father brought him.
He was thinking of all this when he rounded the corner, banging straight into someone. Immediately jerk-Noah came into the play as he landed on his backside, thinking it was some first year. "Watch where you're goin-- Penny?" he said, looking at the person who was on the ground, holding her wrist. He looked over her noting the blue Quidditch robes, and wrapped wrist. "Oh sorry Penny." he said, standing up and offering help up to her good hand. "And you wonder why I prefer not to play Quidditch?" he chuckled. Penny had be trying to get him on a broom since he had been dating Lucy, insisting that Lucy loved Quidditch players. He would always remind her that he had her now, whether or not he was a Quidditch player. - - - - - - - - - - WORDS?: 810 TAGS?: Penny (: LYRICS?: None at the moment COMMENTS?: I think these two need a role play >3

* * * 'SMACK!' the sound of bodies colliding, and then she was falling, straight onto her arse in the middle of the corridor. After the initial squeeky scream from surprise, Penny realised that she had instinctively reached out with her hand to break her fall, only to break her fall with her broken wrist. "Ouch ow oww.." She murmured hushedly as she snatched her wrist back and rubbed it some with her good hand... Sore as it was, she didn't think she'd re-broken it.. She hoped not anyway, she really didn't relish the thought of another visit to the hospital wing, especially if it was still that particular mediwitch who was on duty... Worst coming to worst, she'd just heal it herself... She was pretty sure she could do it, her dad had shown her some basic healing spells, and she'd read up on numerous more complex ones... Eventually having trudged through the hoard of thoughts whizzing through her mind after the collision, she suddenly remembered that there was actually another party involved, something she was further reminded of when she heard the rather unfriendly tone echoing all around her, "Watch where you're goin-" Her eyes lifted to see who it was, and she was about to glare in reply to the clearly arrogant and ignorant git, when she realised that actually the person before her was neither of those thing. Her expession had softened in time for Noah to correct himself, "-Penny?" "Hey, Noah" Penny said with a semi embarrassed smile and a loose wave of her good hand. "Oh sorry Penny." Penny laughed a little, watching him get up and offer her a hand. She gladly accepted, taking a hold of his hand with her good one and with his help, pulled herself back up to her feet, "Don't worry about it, clearly my fault" She laughed a little again, dusting herself down with her good hand. The bad one, she held out a little to her side, so as to avoid any accidental collisions or entangles with her clothes or something... She smiled at Noah a little and laughed as he mentioned that her current situation was a good reason for being merely an observer of the sport and not an active member. "Pfft, just a scratch" She giggled, though she struggled to hide a wince from the throbbing pain in her wrist. "Don't let this put you off the game Noah, I only hurt myself cause I was being abit stupid," she giggled and the corrected in her mind, actually it was Reese who was being stupid... bloody beaters.. "That lesson is still on offer!" she winked and giggled some more. She had always seemed to have gotten along with Noah, despite alot of people thinking he was a jerk. He never seemed to show that side of him around her, or when he did it was soon reigned in, like only a few moments prior... She wasn't really sure why, but supposed it might have something to do with them having similar parents and family sercumstances. It gave them something in common, and sometimes it was just nice to know that someone was around who actually knew how it felt, though she suspected that Noah's parents were harder on him, while her's respected her right to make her own dicisions, but it didnt stop her seeing the disappointment in their eyes sometimes and as a result they developed a rather nonchalent attitude towards their only daughter and her activities. Not to say they they didn't love her, she was sure that they did, they just would rather not hear about her diplomatic life and so did not show much of an interest in it... Realising that she was beginning to wonder off in her own thoughts, Penny's eye's quickly shot back to Noahs, a smile creeped back across her lips as she asked brightly, "So! how is it going? How's Luce? I havn't seen her for like.. a day or something." She giggled some. * * * Words: 735 Tag: Noah! Comments: Im soooo sorry it took so long! I'm a loser lolz

- - - - - - - - - - Noah cursed himself as she smiled embarrassingly at her. He really had to watch where he was going, and stop getting so distracted by Lucy whenever he walked by her. It was the smile she would send him, knowing that she was his and it made his mind go off into a whole different world for awhile. He shook his head as she tried to blame it on herself. "No this is all me. I had something on my mind." he said, but mentally corrected him by saying someone had been on his mind at the time of their collision.
He chuckled as she waved off her broken wrist as 'Just a scratch'. "Mm, breaking my wrist is something I do on a regular day basis." he chuckled, shaking and rolling his eyes at Penny. Although they weren't as close as they were now, now with him dating her best friend, they always had some sort of bond. She had seen what appeared to be his jerk attitude and actually tried to become his friend, even before Lucy. Sure he was way more inviting now, but he could always consider Penny Matthews a friend, since she was someone he could relate to, with parents who were disappointed in him.
He frowned slightly as he saw the pain evident in her probably throbbing wrist. "Maybe I should bring you back to the hospital wing, make sure you didn't re-crack your bone? Your boyfriend already seems to hate me enough." he said, gently taking the broken wrist in her hand, making sure he wouldn't hurt her to examine it. Noah had only one encounter with James so well, right after he started dating Lucy. He had threaten Noah and swore that if he ever heard Lucy he would be getting some serious punishment. He had tried t avoid the frightening seven year ever since, and it seemed to be working. It only seemed to be when James was looking for Noah he'd ever find him.
He watched as a smile crept across her lips and prepared for the worst. He smiled brightly in return however as she giggled. "Oh Penny, it's brilliant. She's amazing, beautiful, caring and I lo-" he stopped himself by covering his mouth. Love?! Wasn't that a tad early? He re tracked his steps, thinking about when he started dating her, which was now over a month. Weren't you suppose to tell them around then? Of course they called each other love and stuff, but he never actually came out and told her straight forward that he loved her. And by the look Penny was giving him, he was sure she knew what he wanted to say, yet his hand rested over his mouth and his eyes wide. - - - - - - - - - - WORDS?: 468 TAGS?: Penny (: LYRICS?: None at the moment COMMENTS?: I had to change the picture to the two of them, I forgot about their rumored love triangle with Nick Jonas xD

* * * Penny inwardly smiled as Noah commented on him having other matters on his mind, she refreigned from making a wild guess as to what or even whom it was that was occupying his thoughts as he speedily rounded that corner. "Maybe I should bring you back to the hospital wing, make sure you didn't re-crack your bone? Your boyfriend already seems to hate me enough." She allowed him to take her wrist and look it over, he was remarkably gentle and added nothing to the already throbbing wrist. "Oh no I'm sure it's fine, really." She smiled, though the smile soon turned from masking pain to sympathy when he mentioned James hating him, "Pfft, James doesn't hate you!" She said confidently. James was just potective over Lucy that was all. He felt all big brotherly towards her and didn't want her to get hurt... Thats just how the Potter/Weasley clan seemed to be, close and protective of one another... "Anyways, he doesn't even know you properly yet." She grinned, taking her wrist back after it looked as though Noah had finished looking at it. "I'm sure once he's had aproper conversation with you, then he'll lose the frostyness.." she nodded with a small giggle before she casually asked about him and Lucy. They had been dating for a while now and Penny knew that Lucy was completely besotted with the guy. And to be fair, he wasn't bad looking and Penny highly suspected that he adored Lucy. I mean, who wouldn't? Lucy was the bubbliest, most fun loving person she knew, she was quite frankly rather surprised that some dashing young man hadn't snapped her up before now... "Oh Penny, it's brilliant. She's amazing, beautiful, caring and I lo-" Oh.. My... GODS! Penny's eyes instantly lit up and a definate grin spread mischeivously across her lips as she gasped in delight, clamping her hands over her mouth excitedly much like Noah's had, although he looked less excited and more shocked by his subconscious admission. "Noah!" Penny squeeked in a high pitched 'excited girl' tone. Finally she put her hands down and resisted the massive urge to jump up and like a five year old. "Have you told her yet?" She asked in a somewhat calmer tone. "I'm sure she feels the same way, oh my gods Noah this is like, major! I'm so happy!" She giggled, "Like stupidly happy.." She added, somewhat more to herself than as an outward comment. She was in love, her best friend was in love... well her best friends boyfriend was in love with her best friend at least. But Penny was SURE Lucy felt the same way. Everytime she had seen them together, everytime that she had talked to Lucy just recently, it all pointed to the probable fact that she was head over heels and now Noah just confirmed that so was he! "Christmas is going to be just... Gods, its going to be epic..." She said again more to herself than to Noah as she grinned stupidly, the pain in her wrist, momentarily forgotten... * * *

- - - - - - - - - - Noah rolled his eyes at Penny. No, her boyfriend hated Noah indeed, due to the fact he was dating Lucy. He had learned quickly the close bond each of the clan members shared, and for those who didn't had older brothers, they had older cousins, and even if there were older brothers, there were still the cousins. And if you got through them to Christmas, well that was just a miracle. "I'm sure once he's had a proper conversation with you, then he'll lose the frostyness.." Noah scoffed at her comment. "If James and I can be on good terms after our first conversation, I'd be damned. He had threated me at least six times during that chat." Noah sighed, running a hand through his hair as he thought back to the conversation. He shook his head, there was a slim chance that he and James Potter would be buddy buddy. He wasn't even sure if they had anything in common.
He slide his hand up to cover his eyes. He had just told Penny, Lucy's best friend, that he loved Lucy BEFORE he told his girlfriend. Just brilliant he though before letting out a small groan. As she squeaked his name, he let his hand drop and looked at her expectedly, knowing she was freaking out about this, just as Lucy was when she told him about how James had told Penny he loved her. That also followed the rumor of the two of them using the Room of Requirements, going in looked perfectly groomed, leaving looking ecstatic, flushed, and a total mess. "Have you told her yet?" Noah shook his head. "No.. I really only just found out myself." he admitted, rubbing the back of his neck as he leaned back on the wall. In love.. he never had really thought about it before, a concept that had yet to make a connection in his mind. A soft grin grew on his lips. But would she return the sentiment? Would she just say it was too soon?
He covered his face again, scrubbing it for a moment before looking at Penny. "How in bloody hell am I suppose to tell my girlfriend I.." he looked around to make sure she wasn`t around, if he was going to tell her, he was going to make sure it was the first time she heard it. "that I love her?" he asked Penny, groaning and hitting his head off the wall. His and Lucy's relationship just got a lot more difficult. He sighed after a moment and looked back at Penny. "I mean, you and James just recently just started sprouting the 'l' word all over the place, how did he tell you?" Noah asked, looking curiously at Penny. He had heard James was quite the romantic, despite the boy's shyness. He wondered just how James popped the word. There was no way in hell he was asking him personally, that would go over terribly.
As Penny mentioned Christmas, he sighed. He was an only child, just like her, so this would be a big change for the both of them. Surrounded by Weasley's, Potter's and a Lupin. He had already been told to make sure to add the Lupin, Ted seemed to be quite a proud person, and he didn't doubt that. "It's going to be brilliant." Noah sighed, smiling brightly. "Hey, what are you getting James? I have an idea for Lucy's.. but I'm not sure. It's just one thing I'd get her." Noah told Penny. After Lucy teased him about his gift, and how impatient he was about it, he had been thinking of possible gift idea's for her. His mum, who didn't know he was dating a Weasley and hopefully would never find out, had suggested something to him, and he was thinking about going through with it. - - - - - - - - - - WORDS?: 703 TAGS?: Penny (: LYRICS?: None at the moment COMMENTS?: Had to add in the 'How did james tell you he loved you'? Teehee, I is evil.

* * * Penny couldn't resist the urge to roll her eyes at Noah's comment about James threatening him during their last and first conversation... James threatening, well anyone was on some level amusing to Penny, though she accepted the fact that it probably wasn't that funny to Noah and she understood completely his angsiety over the whole Potter/Weasley protectiveness over their members, though she concluded it would probably be worse for him, being a boy 'n all. James must have been having a bad day or something when he spoke to Noah. She made a mental note to have a word with him about that... "How in bloody hell am I suppose to tell my girlfriend I.. that I love her?" Penny giggled again, "Maybe, just tell her?" she laughed again as Noah bumped his head off the wall in frustraition, " Listen, your just overcomplicating things. It doesn't have to be some grand gesture, she just wants to know that you do, thats all..." She shrugged with a smile. Sometimes the most romantic things were shown in the simplest ways. Penny wasn't one for grand overcompensating gestures, and she felt that Lucy was probably in the same mind as her... She hoped so anyway. "I mean, you and James just recently just started sprouting the 'l' word all over the place, how did he tell you?"It took just a few moments for the question to actually sink in and the answer to start bouncing around and echo in her brain. How did he-? When-? Blushing. She was uncontrollably blushing, "Uh.. Well..-" She started, having absolutely no idea what she was going to say... She couldn't very well tell him where and when the moment occured. That was too much information for anyone.. She didn't even indulge Lucy in the whole truths there, her being James' cousin 'n all... "-..Well... He just-... Sort of just said it." She said truthfully... Sort of. "It was... nice." She smiled at the memory, though her cheeks were burning... "Anyways this isn't about me.." She added quickly trying to shift the focus of the conversation from her own relationship and back to his by mentioning christmas. Penny knew that Lucy had asked Noah to join the massive family for the holidays, just as Penny had been asked, and both only children had accepted the invitation without really comprehending how much of a change it was going to be for them both... She had a mental image of them both finding one another sitting alone somewhere outside at various intervals, just to get away from the probable constant noise... Though despite her thoughts she stood by her sentiment, it was going to be brilliant! If she was with James then there was no way that it couldn't be... "Hey, what are you getting James? I have an idea for Lucy's.. but I'm not sure. It's just one thing I'd get her." That, was an excellent question. What the frig was she going to get James from christmas? She, of course being a Ravenclaw and extremely orderly, had given this some thought before hand, but she hadn't settled on one idea just yet. "Umm, I'm not sure, I was thinking maybe a book... He likes books..." She laughed, "Clearly I'd get something else as well, I'm not that lame. Maybe bewitch something, umm I need to work out the details..." she nodded with a slight frown, now starting to think that perhaps she should start giving this issue abit more thought... After glancing down at the floor, thinking about gift idea and what she could bewitch and what she could bewitch said thing to do, she looked back up at Noah, "What are your ideas for Lucy??" Her eyes glinted with intregue at the question... * * *

- - - - - - - - - - Noah scoffed. "I may indeed be 'over complicating' things, but I have a bloody right to do so!" he said before sighing, knowing he was getting quite worked up about this. He ran his hands through his hair, thinking about how much he loved it when Lucy did it, and that seemed to calm him down some. "Sorry.. it's just.. she's my first girlfriend ever.. I just don't want to screw it up." he sighed, looking defeated at Penny. He knew he didn't have to be a grand gesture, but he didn't want to be like 'Oh by the way, I love you.' He also knew that the perfect moment may never appear, but he would be looking for it, eventually though, he wouldn't be able to hold it in. He really wanted to tell her how he felt, but at the same time he was afraid it would back fire.
Noah raised an eyebrow as she began to stutter. Why the hell would she be so nervous to tell him? Maybe it was so romantic she was embarrassed by the fact? No that couldn't be, he knew girls loved to gush out their feelings and how 'cute' their boyfriends were. Wait.. the rumors couldn't be true.. could they? He shook his head, no, he didn't even want to find out. As she finally stutter out a response, he just looked at her knowingly and rolled his eyes with a smirk. He wondered if it was actually true, then he wondered if Lucy knew. He sighed, she was always in his brain now a days. Even if the topic hadn't anything to do with her, his brain would find some way to fit her in. God, he really was in love with her.
Noah was glad that Penny was going for Christmas at the Burrow. For one, he was an only child, not used to the big crowds at Christmas or any holiday for that matter. Penny was the same, an only child and never grew up surrounded by her extended family. Another reason being his extreme shyness and fear of large crowds. Lucy wouldn't always have time for him, she would try her best he was sure but there would be times that someone need her and Noah would be left alone, to deal with Weasley men who'd probably interrogate him to no end. At least maybe Penny would be able to pull him out of their clutches every once an awhile and the two of them just run off and be only children for awhile. He was sure Penny would get overwhelmed as well, since the families were extremely large. Nothing compared to his usual Christmas, which consisted of his parents and maybe his Gran.
Noah chuckled. He always though ahead, he was always on his toes. And this idea only hit him a few days ago. "I'm sure you think of something. You were always good at coming up with things." Noah told her, after all, he had known her for six years, she seemed to always be on her A game. As she asked him his idea for Lucy, he looked down at the ground. "Well.. umm.. I don't know if she'll like it or she'd want something else.." he said nervously. Maybe it was just a phase, but he had to tell Penny his idea. He sighed and took a deep breathe. "Well.. Mum has these connections with Squibs to get some Muggle money, and I was thinking about getting her tickets to go see Phantom of the Opera with me over Christmas, you know, 'cause she seems to love that musical and it could be a chance for us to get some alone time and yeah.." he sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I want to get her something else too, like a necklace or bracelet, but I don't know.. I just want it to be special." he said, looking up at Penny with a soft smile. - - - - - - - - - - WORDS?: 679 TAGS?: Penny (: LYRICS?: None at the moment COMMENTS?: xDD

* * * "I'm sure you think of something. You were always good at coming up with things."Penny laughed, "Thanks, I do try." She said with a grin, "I could say the same thing about you also," She added. Being Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, they shared quite a few classes together, not to say that she didn't sometimes have classes with the Gryff's and the Slytherins, but it just usually ended up being with Hufflepuff, so she had been able to observe Noah quite well over the years, and on the whole he was methodical and orderly with his works and she suspected that he would be the same with things such as this... And hense, she was not surprised when Noah told her about the tickets to see one of Lucy's most favourite plays ever in the while entire universe. "Well.. Mum has these connections with Squibs to get some Muggle money, and I was thinking about getting her tickets to go see Phantom of the Opera with me over Christmas, you know, 'cause she seems to love that musical and it could be a chance for us to get some alone time and yeah.." Penny's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me? Noah, she will LOVE that, seriously..." She grinned as he spoke of getting something else aswell, something that she could keep. "Aww, Noah, who knew you were such a romantic?" She giggled teasingly. Her mind wondered back to James, and to what she should be gettin him from christmas. Noah had really thought about Lucy and what she wanted, and come up with something truely special and Penny was onehundred percent certain that she would absolutely love it. Even though, Penny wasn't so much of a fan of musicals such as Phantom of the Opera herself, she'd heard enough about it and the bloody songs in it from Lucy all too freaking often not to know that she was in love with it... Suddenly she felt her wrist twinge and it snapped her out of her thoughts as she winced a little, "I'm such a clumsey idiot.." She giggled some, deciding to change the subject away from thinking about how unprepared she was for christmas, to something she knew that she was prepared for, "Are you going to the Halloween festival?" She asked interestedly, before adding, "What are you dressing up as??" * * *
