Sulking

[Fox]

Fox sat on the bed thinking, "Hmm... I know this isn't for a long while, but I've been thinking about it. Summer is still a long way off, but the school I was supposed to go to, a boarding school, had a summer program for students so that they didn't have to go home. My grandfather is expecting me to stay here. Not go back to Canada. Is there any way I can stay here?"

Fox laughed again, "I am stupid, aren't I? That's too far in the future. I should focus on now and not what will happen."

[Ginny Weasly]

"Actually, yeah. Or you can come with me, or anyone else who wants to take you." She smiled.

"Since I work here, I often come at least once a week to check on the forest." She slid off his bed and stood, streaching.

[Fox]

"You... work here? I thought that you were a student. You don't look old enough to be out of Hogwarts..." Fox tilted his head. He realized what he said and slapped himself on the forehead, tears coming to his eyes as he laughed, "A few minutes ago, I was calling you an old hag. Now I'm saying that you're not old enough."

"I would like to stay with you, but it'll happen when summer comes, and I shouldn't worry about it," Fox said, smiling and laughing. He hadn't laughed like this at all before in his life. Laughing was new to him, and he liked it.

[Naroto Mashima]

 (WOW thats deep. knee deep, hip deep, chest deep , *blub blub.* I WANT TO BE A SIBLING TOO! jp but no really, i want to be a sibling. think, 9 brothers!)

[Ginny Weasly]

"Drop-out." She said, smiling. She laughed with him and patted his head.

"Now, though, lunch time is almost over and I'm not doe with my chores."

[Fox]

(Lolz... I don't think the Weasley will stop growing.)

Fox looked up at Ginny and jumped off of the bed, "I'll help!"

His stomache chose that point to growl. He looked down at it, "I... uh... didn't have lunch."

Fox looked up again. He wanted to stay with Ginny, but soon he would have to go to Potions. He shuddered. He wasn't the fondest of that class.

[Xaver]

"Make that two of us. Except, I can't remember the last time I had a good meal."
Xaver finished pulling himself out from under his bed, where he had fallen asleep last night.. or two days ago.. It might have been a week, but it didn't matter, he felt healthy again. Slightly healthy again. He was awake, wasn't he?
The time didn't make sense to him, but it was more comfortable standing then it was on the stone floor. Shaking his pointless thoughts from his head, Xaver yawned, absently scratching his chin, his shoulders and eyes drooped tiredly. He wore only loose, dark-wash jeans, so each movement showed the tense knotting and rippling of the hard, lean musculature in his upper torso. He smiled at the kid, then at Ginny.
"Hi," he yawned out lamely, oblivious to anything that had happened before.

[Ginny Weasly]

"Oh....."Ginny looked at Xaver, surprised, then folded her arms.

"You nastly little brat! Why can't you sleep on the bed like a normal person? I must have been in here a dozen times the past few days looking for you cause I havn't seen you and I didn't see you cause you slept under the bed..." She shook her head.

"You wierdo..." She sighed and looked at Fox. "You can help, and then eat lunch with me. You too Xaver." She said, smiling at him, since she wasn't really mad, just a tiny bit annoyed with herself since she hadn't sensed him, and he hadn't bothered to let her know where he would be or anything, and that she had worried about him. She shoot smiles at both of them before going to the door.

"I'll wait down there for you guys, put on old cloths Fox." She paused, "And put a shirt on Xaver!" She shut the door behind her and went down to the common room.

[Xaver]

"Of course, Milady."
Xaver went to his trunk with a yawn, found a gold shirt and slipped into it, then threw on some socks and some old sneakers. He ran a casual hand through his dark hair, then shook his head, trying to wake up.
"I'll see you downstairs, Fox," he said absently, smiling at the kid, then leaving to the common room.
He walked up behind Ginny soundlessly, and put a hand on her shoulder in greeting, unable to say anything for a moment as he yawned, again.

"Sorry for making you look. I hadn't known where I was going to hit the deck when I went into the castle... a while ago.."
Xaver blinked tiredly, and looked down at her with a soft smile. "I don't remember anything from the day I must have fallen asleep. How long was I out?"

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny turned around.
"Around five or six days." She said, raising her eyebrows, slightly. She sighed and rubbed her forhead.

[Xaver]

"Wow," he said quietly. "A while then. I wonder why.. I don't know.. can't remember."
Xaver watched her rub her head, and he frowned slightly.
"You ok?"

[Ginny Weasly]

"Huh?" She said, then grinned.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I hope Fox hurry's up, I'm hungry." She said, laughing slightly.

[Xaver]

Xaver grinned widely and squeezed her shoulder, before finally letting his hand drop.
"I'm always hungry."

[Fox]

Fox shook his head. Who was that boy? Did he hear the personal conversation? If he did....

Fox didn't want to think about it. When the boy left, he dressed quickly in some old clothing. Feeling ready, he walked quickly and silently down the stairs.

"Sorry to... um... keep you waiting," Fox wasn't used to being nice... at all. He flushed and walked up to Ginny, his life line in this all. He held her hand for a moment and looked up at her. Then he let go and made a small smile.

[Ginny Weasly]

"No problem, Fox." She said, smiling at them both.

"Oh yeah! Fox, this is Xaver, Xaver, this is Fox, my new little brother!" She said, alughing, though it was seriouse.
