Elphias!
"GO RAVENCLAW!" Phoebe shouted into the still partying common room as she spun around on the steps of the boy's dorms. Oy, seriously? Seriously?! They'd won! Brilliantly! Against Slytherin! And it was amazing and it was awesome and she was so, so wired, and people probably thought she was drunk (like a few of the Ravenclaws down in the common room) but she was just really, really, really, really happy, and hopped up on like six cups of some of this like super sugary drink that someone had brought in from shedidntknowwhere but it was really, really, really, really good and!

Now she was going up to visit Elphias! Who didn't like parties and was up in his dorm studying! Who the heck didn't like parties? Well, Elphias would definitely be one to fit into that category, so Phoebe wasn't too surprised, but she sprinted up the steps anyway to go and drag her---well...her....Elphias, down the stairs.

Haaahahaha. Her Elphias. Gaw.

But that was to figure out for another day. Phoebe shrieked and high-fived a fifth year named Cristian that came out of the dorm as she hurried up to the seventh years', and shouted another pro-Ravenclaw cheer down the stairwell before finally reaching Elphias' dorm.

"Knock, knock, knock!" she shouted at the door, knocking on the wood with each word.

Well, of course he was studying. NEWTs were a mere four months away and Elphias had loads of Defense material to read up on for the Order. And it was Saturday! Saturday--like Sunday--was an 'S' day and was therefore meant to be a study day. Honestly, like Gilbert had once said after an exceptionally long weekend before the Potion OWL, why else would the days start with an 'S' if not for studying?

Furthermore, Elphias Doge was the absolute last person at Hogwarts who would actually care about the outcome of a Quidditch match. He hadn't even known there was a match against Slytherin that day so when the Ravenclaw common room had erupted in celebration not twenty minutes ago he reasoned that someone had learned that they aced the brutal Runes oral from earlier in the week or the entire lot had simply gone completely mad. Then he promptly had removed himself and his Astronomy charts back to the 7th year dorm room to read them in peace--well, near-peace anyway.

Elphias was focused on arcing his compass between two stars of Leo Minor when a sudden attack of three loud knocks on the room's door made him jerk around. Eyes wide from the shock of the noise, it took him a moment to realize he recognized the voice as Phoebe. It was a very, very enthusiastic Phoebe. He supposed she had seemed rather excited on the journal about Quidditch, but he hadn't quite expected her to be...so loud.

"Uh--" Elphias started to invite Phoebe in but hesitated.

Could he have a girl...in here? Of course he knew she could walk into the room (unlike boys who tried to venture to the girl dorm rooms) but for one reason or another, he had a feeling it would be awkward. Well, it wasn't as if they could just go to the common room instead. Bugger.

"Yeah--uh--come in!" he finally managed to call to her. Elphias felt his nerves start to brace for her entrance and he quickly turned his attention back to Leo Minor, frowning when he saw that the compass had stabbed straight through Praecipua.

"Are you studying!" she exclaimed, entering the room without really noticing his hesitation. It wasn't as if she'd ever been in the boy's dorm before (now that she thought about it, there should have been some hesitation, but she was far too hyper to think of it), but she was just so excited to have won the match, to have done so well in the match; sure her name hadn't been mentioned, but oh, she knew, and it was just! She wanted to share it with someone and Elpias was the closet thing she had to a boy...thing, and that's what girls liked to do! Right? Sure!

Phoebe spun around, realizing that she probably should've changed out of her sweaty jersey (or her glowing jersey as Tabby used to say. Girls didn't sweat, that was for dirty gross boys except for Cedric, of course) but it was far too late to be thinking of her fashion attire.

"What's so important that you can't come down and sing a victory cheer with us?" she asked in a teasing voice, bending over a bit to get a look at the books splayed across his desk. "Ooh, Leo Minor, my absolute fave."
