DIYA -

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

I kissed Alex. I don't even know why. Help?

- Dhruv

[Diya Zabini]

That's a lie, Dhruv. You know why you did it.

Help? How can I do that?

did she hit you on the head with the Quaffle after?

~Di.

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

I seriously don't. It was all so weird. One minute we were chatting, the next she went all psycho on my ass and then I just kissed her. Ugh, I don't know if I really like her or not.

I don't know, maybe talk to her? Or tell me how I should approach her? Something?

No, I didn't stay long enough to see her reaction. And now she's avoiding me - haven't you seen how she's stopped passing the Quaffle to me?

- Dhruv.

[Diya Zabini]

So you mean it was, like, a knee jerk reaction or something? That's stupid, Dhruv. Plain dumb and... you just don't kiss a girl out of nowhere! Next I know you'll be telling me... never mind... like? thank Merlin you've come to that much by yourself.

Talk to her? Dhruv, you do realise what you're telling me, right? You're asking me to talk to Alex, the girl my cousin may or may not like and just kissed out of the blue about said kiss that would be totally awkward and not to mention would completely spoil the on the rocks acquaintance I have with her? No way in hell. You just walk up to her; and tell her the truth. Its as simple as that. Or if you'd prefer, find a nice cozy hiding place till she hunts you down and yell at you and you either go back to squabbling again.

You ran?! Dhruv! I can't even... ugh! Well, what did you expect her to do? Smile and have a mock Quidditch game with you? You'd better do something before this turns awkward or you just might lose the only halfway decent friend you have, Dhruv. No, I just thought she passed a few too many times to me; honest mistake.

~Di.

P.S.: Just had to ask; are you serious?

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

Yes, it was - I swear I don't know whether it was out of pity or I genuinely like her. But I've been thinking about her a lot so... I don't know. She hates relationships, hates, and i quote,'being codependent and clingy'. Seriously, even if I tell her that I like her, she'll probably punch me in the balls or something.

Okay, no. Just tell me how to deal with it. Fine, I'll tell her. Don't blame me if I lose a friend after this.

Excuse me. I have a lot of friends, okay? Francis, Shelly, Lily, Val... all of them! Yes, I ran, what do you expect I'd do?

What about you? Is Potter pissing you off again?

- Dhruv.

[Diya Zabini]

Dhruv, clearly, you're in quite a bit of confusion. I know its not easy to sort out and I understand(don't ask me how, I just do). sorry if I sounded freaky; I just... blanked out. I know Alex, remember? I know she hates relationships and to be frank, I'm with her a bit on this. But of course, being codependent and clingy isn't what a relationship is about. well, she most likely will but its a hell of a lot better than avoiding each other until your frinedship wanes out, right? Atleast you'd have tried.

I just gave you your two options. You'll lose her otherwise too; atleast in this, she might laugh in your face and go back to being her sarcastic self.

Alright, alright! Geesh, calm down Dhruv! I only meant that she was the first person I thought you saw as a friend, you know? Correct me if I'm wrong. I guess I'm not experienced enough to tell you exactly what you should have done.

What about me? Potter annoys me whether he exists or not; he's the perennial thorn in my side. What's new?

~Di.

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

I am... okay, I'll tell her at our next practice. Happy?

Do I need to kill Potter for you? Lily says there's a rumour circulating that he eats humans. Be careful you don't run into him when she's hungry.

- Dhruv

PS: I think I may fancy her. Just a little bit.

[Diya Zabini]

Sure, just don't do it before or Roxy will have your head for spoiling the practice.

No, I'm quite capable of doing it myself and the plan's coming along quite nicely. You don't have to worry... Ah, he isn't as evil as he likes to portray himself as; I, for one, am not affected by his dark cloud hanging over his head attitude. Its him who should be afraid of my temper, which he rightly is.

~Di.

P.S.: Finally, you admit. Whew!

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

Oh, wonderful. I can help though. Professor Stiger likes me, I'm sure I can convince him to let me borrow some of his deadlier poisons. Just tell me if you need any help, 'kay?

Also, have you tried talking to Aly recently? She seemed a bit... off to me last time I talked to her.

- Dhruv.

PS: Well, let's just see what happens when I tell her. If I die, take my body to Mumbai, okay?

[Diya Zabini]

Sure, sure. But I don't think I'll need to go to that extreme. A little Quidditch accident will suffice quite well.

When isn't she? What about? Did she tell you anything? I'll go see her as soon as possible, don't worry.

~Di.

P.S.: Well, the pleasure would be mine; Nani would love to see you!

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

Well, I can help then too. I can easily convince Bronson to chuck the Bludgers at him one too many times so he gets a concussion? Except not because he's pissed at me, damn.

No, I mean she's acting... nicer. Seriously. I took her some sweets yesterday and she actually smiled and said thank you, they were very nice. No! Don't go and see her, or tell her that I told you. She'll have my head in a second.

- Dhruv.

PS: Sure, sure. I'm sure she'll be really happy to see that I died of a punch in the balls at the young age of fifteen.

[Diya Zabini]

McLaggen? I don't think he'll be very pleased; his siste and I aren't on very good terms so I don't want to risk it and I definitely don't want Potter to get to know anything. Oh what happened now?

Oh, that's... good Is it just me she hates then? I'll go see her as if its a normal visit; I won't tell on you, you know that!

~Di.

P.S.: Maybe if you'd been her only grandson; not now. She'd just shed a few tears for you and move on or something.

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

Well, he's all protective and shit of Alex and she told him what happened and now he's glaring at me everyday in practice and it's kind of unnerving, not going to lie. So yeah.

It is... I think she's being nicer to everyone. There was some girl beside her... Rhea, I think her name is?

- Dhruv.

PS: I am her only grandson.

[Diya Zabini]

Well that's to be expected. I mean, wouldn;t you do the same if it was me?

Ria? Flint? Oh shit; oh shit! Yeah, I know her; Aly and her were friends... I think.

~Di.

P.S.: What would you call your dear brother then?

[Dhruv Cornfoot]

Of course I would; speaking of which, I still have to hunt down Alex's dear brother for messing with you. Thanks for reminding me.

Probably, she was all cheery and she had pale skin and blue eyes and black hair. Is that her?

- Dhruv

PS: My sister's very upset that you've forgotten her gender. Just so you know.

(OOC: Oh, forgot to tell you, Hanna tweaked the canon list so that Dhruv now has a sister and not a brother =X)
