Lisa was seated in the Ravenclaw common room flipping through an old issue of witch weekly when she heard foot steps approaching, curiously peeking her head around the lavish chair in the room she cocked an eyebrow as Charlotte tip toed along the floor "getting into trouble again Charlotte?" Lisa commented, her perfectly waxed brow still arched as she stared the shorter blonde girl down sternly but not unkindly. "You know as a friend..... I just wanted you to know, while house loyalty is important there is only so many times and so many hits to our house points we can take and eventually not everyone is going to be as nice about it as they have been" Lisa was not trying to be mean she liked Charlotte but she also was aware of the trouble she got herself, meaning /their/ house into "what were you up to?" Lisa asked suspiciously.

Charlotte stood upright & frowned. "We're not friends." she informed the other girl rather bluntly - not necessarily cruelly, but Charlotte had been bullied enough to put up a few walls, especially around other girls. She knew that this girl wouldn't have any motive other than keeping their house from losing points. Not that Charlotte really cared about the points to begin with - the only time they concerned her was when she was getting cornered by some of her own classmates who were demanding that she stop losing them. That, and, with a lot of her 'bullies', the idea of getting caught & losing house points was what kept the small blonde safe rather often.
"What do you care, anyway? They don't give a prize for second place. They don't even write it in the records. And Gryffindor always wins." she scoffed angrily - though her anger wasn't directed at the other girl, just at the house of hero-complexed jocks that she had such a deep resounding dislike for.

Lisa frowned and stuck out her lower lip looking affronted that the blonde shut her down so rudely when she felt she was helping "well" she paused for a moment and gave the girl a less than amused look "perhaps if we managed to keep the points we earned" she gave her a pointed look then sighed "Wit and intelligence eventually bests physical endurance in the matters that are important anyway" Lisa smiled sweetly and nodded "I really was not trying to be rude love, just cautioning you to be careful I can't be the only one, you have friends Ashley Godfrey....that really fit older uncle of hers" Lisa smirked and shrugged innocently. "just concerned is all"

Prepared for her to be upset, angry, or rude, Charlotte was a little surprised, and suspicious, when she breezed over the confrontation & moved back on to being polite. She went a little stony at the mention of Ashley, then Broderick, ready to have to jump to one or both of their defense, then relaxed noticably.
"Yes, well, unfortunately for the noble house of Ravenclaw, neither of my only friends," she airquoted, "are particularly concerned about the state of the house points competition. Especially not our position in it.

Lisa placed her hands on her hips and tsked "oh come now Charlotte" she smiled at her sweetly in the charming fashion she so often used "you have serious potential under all your hostility" her eyes widened and she opened her mouth to suggest what I can imagine Charlotte picked up on and cut her off from uttering "oh come now Charlotte it would be so fun COME ON" her eyes lit up dancing with ideas and excitement at the thought of making Charlotte her new project.

Charlotte immediately narrowed her eyes, already beginning to back up a little as she saw the gleam in the other girl's eyes.
"No." she said sharply. She had grown used to throwing on a bit of mascara, occasionally more on special occasions, but she was not the type to dress to impress. It wasn't important to her - the majority of her clothing that wasn't school uniform was incredibly basic. Jeans, shirts, sweaters. She'd been blessed with a kickass pair of legs that made her turn surprisingly bold in the warmer months, switching to shorts that had even the most hateful or uninterested of boys turn their heads to look, but other than that, she kept it fairly simple.
"No." she repeated, a little more sternly, holding one finger up as if she thought the taller girl might tackle her. "It's not happening. Stop - stop. Don't look at me like that."

Lisa sighed and did not falter her look even in the slightest "come on Charlotte" Lisa chimed out in a unbelievably sweet tone "it will be fun! and so exciting isn't there any boy who you just want to look at you and get all tongue tied and nonverbal!" she exclaimed excitedly not understanding why Charlotte was not grasping her offer.

Charlotte was able to let the amusement sink in, rolling her eyes with a disinterested smirk until she heard it. That last bit set her teeth on edge & she cleared her throat, blushing & looking nervously at the floor. That bit of mascara that she put on was for Thorfinn. Even having clothes other than her school uniform was for Thorfinn. The only reason she brushed her damn hair in the morning had been for him. He had been the only one she'd ever wanted to impress & she hadn't even done that. Everything else just seemed so.. pointless.
"No, not really. Have you seen the boys at this school?" she tried, giving the girl a significant look.

Lisa raised her eyebrows and gasped "but there is someone I know that look" she narrowed her eyes and smirked " Charlotte sweetie" she slipped an arm over the girls shoulder and fluttered her lashes adorably "whoever he is I /know/ how to make him pay" she nodded slowly.

That actually felt a little appealing, but she shook the thought from her mind. The only way she wanted to make him pay was by beating the ever loving hell out of him. Which, if the news of him moving into Broderick's house was true, could be sooner than she'd expected.
"No." she pulled her arm away, blushing, "There isn't anyone. I don't - I don't need to make anyone pay." she stepped back a little, blushing, defensive. "Why are you even talking to me? You don't even like me." she felt a bubbling sense of fear creeping up her spine - this was some sort of a set-up, something to try to embarrass her, & she wouldn't be any part of it. They couldn't make her.

Lisa frowned and shook her head "Charlotte, you constantly think people don't like you went really aside from a few jerks that is not the case" she smiled and shook her head "look love, I have been through a lot of boyfriends and I /know/ that look you don't have to tell me the details but I know that whoever hurt you should get his just desserts and what better way to do that then dress up and go and have some fun" she nodded sweetly "trust meeeee"

"Fun with who?" she pointed out, holding her arms out in some sort of grand gesture about the room, "One of my many suitors?" she gave the other girl a deadly straight face, dropping her arms boredly.
"Even if this idea of yours works & some guys suddenly are interested, I wouldn't want to spend any time with some guy who starts talking to me after I get some royal transformation. Especially not after they've spent two years tormenting me."

Lisa sighed and shook her head "for Merlin's sake Charlotte I don't want you to completely change your personality I just can tell you are down and could use a little boy attention there has got to be some boys who pay attention to you look at you" Lisa gestured to her and smiled a genuinely sweet smile "I just wanted to accentuate your attributes"

"Please stop trying to flatter me, it's honestly not working." she replied boredly, giving the girl a lifeless sort of look. It wasn't anything against Lisa specifically, but she just didn't want to be a part of this.
The passage to the common room swung open & one of the prefects entered, glaring at Charlotte. "Where have you been?" they asked suspiciously. "Were you out of the common room?"
Charlotte glanced at them & widened her eyes innocently. "Me? No, I've been up with my BFF." her tone was only half-sarcastic as she swung an arm around Lisa's shoulders in what she hoped was a convincing sort of way.

"I was being nice" Lisa frowned and sighed deeply shaking her head with her eyes rolling "I give up" she turned to leave when she felt Charlotte put her arm over her giving Charlotte a look she smirked slightly then turned her attention to Terry Boot her ex boyfriend and flashed him a coy little smile "don't worry about Charlotte Terry, she has been with me the entire night" she smirked when Terry grinned at her for a moment then cleared his throat and nodded leaving quickly.
