Marc was nervous. He had asked Violet out the day before... after dinner... so he didn't know if Von now knew or not. By Clarissa's boyfriend rules it was dictated the boyfriend sit with the girlfriend. So that meant facing Von and Kennedy. He wiped his hands on his pants and found Kennedy sitting at the Slytherin table. There were three empty seats. He knew two of them were for Vi and Von... He could only assume Vi had told Von... Coincidences didn't just happen. Carefully he adjusted his shoulder bag and headed toward the slytherin table. He ignored the curious glances from his other hufflepuffs. Making his way over to Kennedy he met the blonde's gaze and sat down diagonal to him.
Kennedy raised an eyebrow. Marc had just come and sat by him? Was hell frozen over? He decided to mention the fact that the seat was taken. "Dude... You are in Violet's seat..." He had to always reserve three seats... one for Serge... one for Von... and one For Vi...Well Von and vi were new additions to his seating chart but still. "So... move?" He made a shooing motion. He saw marc start to sweat. Somewhere deep in his little heart he sighed, if he was reaching out... Von would want him to play nice. Turning to the slytherin next to him he shrugged and nodded his head. The girl frowned but moved one seat down. "Here come the girls now..." He had glanced up , he had seen Vonali and Vi...

As was Von's habit she stole a glance to the hufflepuff table but didn't see Marc with a small frown she headed to her own table and flopped next to Kenny and gave his hand a small squeeze before looking up and right at Marc. Her face lite up and she smiled perhaps he was ok now and they could go back to being friends. " Hi Marc!" This day suddenly got brighter to her. She wanted to give him back his drawings but didn't think anyone should know she kept them with her. " So what's going on?" She started loading her plate not noticing how awkward Marc felt.

Violet approached the table with a huge grin on her face. She had managed to not tell Von. It was hard to keep her mouth shut but she was able to. She saw Marc waiting at their table and gave him a huge smile. She skipped along till she got there and sat beside him. "Hi Marc. I am glad to see you." Violet immediately started to giggling. She wasn't sure how you were supposed to greet a boyfriend. She had never had one before. She only read about them in Magazines like teen witch.

Kennedy grinned as he saw Vonali light up. He liked when she did that. He put his arm around her shoulders and plopped a kiss right on her cheek. Relaxing now that he had let marc know that she was still his he turned back to his oatmeal. Kennedy had to look up once more as Vi came to the table.
Marc had grinned at Von as she sat. "Nothing... just said i would sit over here today..." Marc however was struggling. He would need to ask Clarissa some more question's on how to be a good boyfriend. He didn't know if he should stand as he did with the girls at parties... But kennedy hadn't and that meant it wouldn't be cool. Marc reached out and discreetly took vi's hand and waited for her to sit. He could see Kennedy's eyes narrow on their hands. However the blond looked away and went back to eating. His hand had settled on von's lap holding her hand. Silently letting her know he was there. Marc spoke and smiled at Violet. "Good morning... sleep well?"

Von smiled and leaned into Kenny though at Vi and Marc concentrating on each other she raised an eyebrow in question. But was willing to shrug it off but as she took a bite her eyes zoomed in on Marc's hand in Vi's and without taking a bite she looked at the two waiting for someone to explain to her what exactly had happened in the last, what day day and a half. And if something important had happened wouldn't have Vi told her?

Vi could not help but smile big at Marc. He was all sweet and stuff. "Yes I slept very well. I had all sorts of wonderful dreams." Vi looked over at Von to ask her how her night went when she saw that Von was staring at their hands. She guessed that it might be a good time to tell her. She looked over at Marc giving him a look that asked, 'Should I tell her now?'. He nodded back at her to tell her it was ok. Violet gave Von a huge smile. "Well Von I have some exciting news! Marc and Me are girlfriend and boyfriend! He asked me the other day and gave me the most beautiful flowers. They were purple Von! Now we both have dates! Isn't this cool?"

Kennedy almost choked on his oatmeal. He tried... so very...very hard not to laugh. And he thankfully succeeded. Taking his napkin to wipe his mouth so he could wipe the smile from his face... He squeezed her hand trying in vain to keep her calm. His mind was racing at the thoughts that must be going through her head. 'were they nuts?' 'what the hell was he thinking...' 'He likes me...' And he could just assume that the news would hurt. He made a mental note to snag the drawings from her when they got back to the common room. No need to burn such lovely work... He stood and reached across the table with his free hand to shake marc's "Congrats Marc...Good to see you found yourself a lovely girl..." He grinned at Violet. His normal roguish grin.
Marc smiled and shook Kenny's hand. "Thanks... Im just super happy she said yes..." Turning slightly red he offered up a few words. "I was really nervous to be honest... I thought she would shoot me down completely..." That wasn't completely true... but true enough. He glanced at von and then back to vi. He squeezed her hand before letting go to start getting his breakfast. There... now everything was fine...

Von could only gawk as Vi made her announcement. What in the world? And after all the stress he'd put her through he just moved on? Now she could see Kenny doing something like that and she was ok with it but Marc, never. She cracked her neck, the only outward sign she gave of her rising anger. At the moment she really couldn't fault Vi after all she'd been sick and hadn't seen how far MArc had thrown Von, but there was no excuse for Marc. She smiled sweetly at Vi. " What a perfect set up." And set up was exactly what she thought it was. She got up and moved around the table and gave Vi a hug and moved to Marc and whispered in his ear. " You're so lucky we're in the main hall. You're gonna pay for this." She plastered her normal sneer on her face and stood up. " Congrats man. Glad to know your happy." And with that she calmly sat down and started to eat again. Inside she'd thought of a million and twenty things she could do but one or two stood out in her head and she smiled mischievously. "Kenny dear, mind if I skip out on our rehearsal this morning? There's a few last minute work I'd forgotten about. Would have told ya sooner but the recent happy news took priority." She attempted to keep her voice light which worked but in her eyes payback could clearly be seen.

Vi saw the Kenny guy give her a smile and she decided immediately that she didn't like him. I mean she already didn't, but now she really didn't. How could Von like this guy? Marc was such a better choice. But who was she to complain? Violet immediately started to chow down on her pancakes. She had no idea of the tension that was spreading around. Violet hated how Von called Kenny dear. It was so weird. When had Von become a romantic? Was she supposed to call Marc dear? Maybe she should try it. She looked over at Marc, "Marc de... never mind." Yea...that wasn't happening. Too awkward. Violet looked over at Von. There was something in her demeanor that was not right. However, Violet didn't have a clue what it was.

Kennedy tried to silently convince her to stay put... to not burn this bridge.. he would have to talk to her... let her calm down a bit. 'What a perfect setup.' She was pissed. He could tell and he guessed marc could too, if the color leaving his face had anything to do with it. Kennedy watched her carefully hug her friend and then congratulate Marc. His eyes narrowed. Something was up... her face showed all her plans... well... the emotion behind the plans at least. "Vonali... You can't expect me to write the song's on my own now can you?" He had never heard her call him dear before... and he decided he didn't like it. However... if she insisted he would have to think of something ten times worse... He smiled slightly as Vi tried the dear thing on marc... However he got the feeling Violet wasn't too fond of him. Which made her increasingly more interesting. "How about i help you with your last minute work..."
Marc had never been scared of Von... but at the moment... he couldn't be sure what she was thinking... and that made him nervous. He watched her sit back down. He got angry.... How dare she judge him... But then realization hit. That girl had been right. And in that moment he could take anything she could dish out... She wouldn't be angry... if there weren't some kind of feelings smoldering somewhere deep down. He smiled at her. "Thank you... Now we can all be happy." He placed his hand in violets and then gave her the most admiring grin he could. "I guess i really am lucky..."

For a moment her full attention was on Kenny. " There's really no need. I should have done it sooner. A lot sooner. But if you really want to you can." Se had to agree dear was not a term she'd use again. Her thoughts were interrupted but Marc's words. The boy must have a death wish, and making sure Vi wasn't looking she let her true anger show on her face for Marc to see. "I'm sure we;ll all be very happy, I see lots of double dates and other such activities outside of school. I sure hope your Dad will be alright with it. After all that's alot of time away from home." Her smile was nothing but malice and a sort of sick glee. Oh she'd win this if it was the last thing she did, and she had several leads at her disposal. She couldn't wait to get started but first she needed to eat her food. Breakfast was the most important meal of the day if you needed energy.

Violet continued to eat her pancakes. Her day was just perfect. First she was sitting with her boyfriend and now she had pancakes.
"Why wouldn't he be happy? Does he not like You dating yet or something Marc?" Then she lowered her voice to a whisper. "Does he have a problem with Darker skin? I hear in the Muggle world that is a problem." Vi really hoped that wasn't the problem. She really couldn't change her skin color for Marc.

Marc grinned a sly grin. "Don't you remember that talk you had with him Von? He has seen the error of his ways and made a turn about... he doesn't care... as long as i am..." he hesitated. He hadn't told her about Clarissa and their...situation. "at his disposal when he needs me." He lifted his chin lightly, daring her to say something. "Oh...that reminds me...those drawings i had you hold on to... i need them back... im making a portfolio..."
Kennedy could see Marc repeatedly opening his mouth to place his foot where his words should, probably not be, coming from. He took a deep breath and squeezed Von's shoulder. She was going to far... and he could see this ending badly.
Marc turned to comfort Violet. "No... he just likes to know where i am... what im doing and who im with... but because he is so busy... if i go out a lot... it makes it harder on him... however..." he glanced at von with a devilish smile. "He is getting a lot better." He knew his dad was slightly racist... but it had nothing to do with darker skin being wrong... it was Whites were right... However... his father had agreements with some who were darker... so he wouldn't cause waves.

Von glared, now she knew the b*****d was using Vi. She should never have allowed him close, oh well she could fix that. She donned her normal facade, took a bite, swallowed and looked at him questioningly doing the one thing she never thought she could do to Marc, lie. Drawings? Oh! Ok I'll have to hunt them down for you." Like hell you b*****d, she thought.She turned and smiled to Vi. " Yea no it's not about your skin color, more of your lineage and heritage. You know how your father would have a cow about seriously dating a muggle? Well his dad felt the same about those of us in the wizarding community. But if Marc says his dad's better about it then no need to worry. After all Marc isn't the kind of person to lie, especially to someone he feels so importantly about." Her words were genuinely kind and she really didn't want Vi to think much about it after all she wanted Vi happy and damn Marc for dragging her into this.

Vi started to frown. Now there were two dads that didn't like either background. Of course this was just Violet's luck. "Oh Marc why didn't you just tell me that. I mean my dad is the same way! Well...my grandpa is. But my dad does what Grandpa says." Violet looked over at Von."Of course Marc wouldn't lie! He has no reason to. I mean he had the chance to dump me and he didn't. So he must really like me right?" Violet's eyes started to shine. She was so happy. "And those drawings were so nice Marc. They were beautifully done. I love your work." Violet could not help but fawn over Marc.
