Keep it up, I know you can

WHO: Puck and Georgia
TONE: Disappointed pity party.
RATING: PG
WHEN: January 29th, after the Quidditch match
WHERE: Slytherin common room
WHAT: Slytherin got their asses kicked. Puck failed as captain, Georgia almost got her eye taken out. Bawww.
STATUS: ongoing



The last few weeks had really sucked. First Galen decides to start shit, then Amelia invents shit to start, Ellis hates him, and then Slytherin lost the game. Puck lost the game. All that steam he blew off through practice was wasted. Great.

After the game, he took a long shower, and a nap. It helped, a little, but he would be a liar if he said he wasn't still bent out of shape about it. Puck went down to the common room soon after waking, hoping that Hades wasn't lurking around, looking to bite his head off. Luckily, it was just Georgia, and some younger students working on last-minute homework before Monday morning.

"Hey," he said, taking a seat on the couch next to her. "How's your eye?"

"Still blue," she groused. "But it suits my mood." Madame Pomfrey had said they were out of...'burlap essence,' or whatever it was called, and would have some by Monday, but until then, Georgia was sporting a shiner. Very attractive, of course.

Georgia looked at Puck, he really looked miz about the whole affair. She couldn't really blame him, she really, really wanted to win. Even just to show people that she could play just as well as any pureblood. Bugger it all. "What about you? You look like you're taking a trip down the Valley of the Dumps, while taking a side trip to the town of Merde.."

"Well, yeah," he grumbled, putting his arms around the top of the couch. "This was supposed to make up for all the crap going on, you know? But instead, it's just another thing that sucks."

Puck turned, getting a look at her eye. It wasn't that bad. It was like she got in a fight or something. Considering how rough that game was, she pretty much had. "I don't know, it's kind of badass. If everyone didn't know you were in the game, you could tell everyone you got the black eye in an awesome fight and you won. They'd believe you."

"I think we are full up on fights with Ravenclaws for a bit," which is what Georgia said, but it kind of perked her up a bit. At least, she wasn't going out of her way to hide it from him as much. "Do I look like a time-worn veteran?"

She nudged him a bit. "And everything isn't completely full of poosity."

[puckinyourmom]

"Maybe not worn out," he answered, nudging back. "How come?"

[nunganunga_k_o]

"Welllll," She considered this. "At least you shut up Galen...although I suppose is the definition of 'poosity'."

[puckinyourmom]

"Yeah, then he went out and screwed us over again. And we couldn't even win the game to shut him up!"

[nunganunga_k_o]

"He's a wanker. He's not going to shut his ginormous gob even if we win all of the matches and get all of the points because he doesn't care about Slytherin. He is filled with selfishiosity and he is dragging us all down with him." She had a LOT more to say about Galen, but she was just getting mad now. Which was not the point.

So she sighed and flopped back against the couch. "...Maybe all of it HAS gone pear-shaped. Sorry."

[puckinyourmom]

"This is why you guys should have let me steal that erkling," he said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "It would have eaten him forever ago."

[nunganunga_k_o]

Oh my god, this erkling thing again. Georgia gave the biggest eyeroll. "Puck, I will tell you this for free, you are positively rubbish at magical creatures. And this is coming from me."

"One, that thing is not exactly deadly. Two," she held up her fingers for effect. "That thing bites kiddies, doesn't it? So it wouldn't eat Galen because he isn't a child, despite his brain capacity. And three, if it DID, it would be just as likely to eat you as Galen. ....Or Link, more likely."

[puckinyourmom]

"I'm seventeen, I don't think he is. It should work...technically. And I would have made sure he didn't eat Link!"
