Marietta walked to the green houses, she didn't have the best reason to be there but she did like the plants even if some were deadly. She looked through the door's window to see if anyone was inside. Nothing that she could see. She opened the door and stepped inside. Carefully, she looked at each plant. There were so many, if only she could take a few with out it being noticed. With another quick look around, she grabbed one of the non-deadly plants and started for the door. She tripped over a hose, or what looked like one, and dropped the plant. "Oh dear.." she said and started trying to clean up the mess. She was sure someone had heard the crash of the pot on the floor. There were shards of pottery everywhere along with dirt and the plant. She hurried, she didn't want to get caught. Her sister would surely find her and then tell her off for stealing something precious. But she wanted something for her bedside and right now she didn't have much. She didn't know how to hide it, so she just sat there and waited to be found. Might as well get told off with out lying.

Tom was in the greenhouses, reading his favorite book, one from the future. Well he had banished the covers and changed the names so if someone looked at it, they'd just think it was another book. It was a book by someone in the Resistance against Voldemort, telling their side of the story of Harry Potter. Currently he was reading Harold Plotter and the Order of the Phoenix, the part where Sinius died. Yeah, cheesy names right? But he liked reading the books, even if his father could never know he read this side of the story and liked it the most.
Suddenly while Tom was reading, hidden in a spot where no one had ever found him before, he heard a loud crash. Tom scrambled, closing his book and scooting out of the small area where he was hiding. He looked around for who must have made the crash, spotting a Hufflepuff girl he recognized. Marietta was it? Or maybe it was Ettabeth or something. Ah well. She probably needed help.
Tom walked over to where she was at, pulling out his wand and repairing it from behind her, where she probably couldn't see him. "You better be more careful," Tom said with a smile holding the plant in his arms offering it up to her "I won't tell if you take it, just don't break it again."

Marietta looked up and then stood up. She kind of froze and didn't know what to say, opening and closing her mouth like she wanted to say something. She couldn't speak and she started to smack her leg so she could get anything out.
She wiped herself off and took the plant, "Um, um, thanks, um. But I can't really take it, my sister. She knows everything, I can't take it, I wanted to, but I can't." She handed it back to him trying to smile, "I'm Marietta, I don't know if you know me but I'm Harper's sister. She's in your house, same year I believe." she nodded and stuck her hand out to shake his, "You can call me Etta though, I like it a lot better than Marietta, to fancy-shancy for me."
((I kind of think this sad.. all those pics are saved you used for his siggy.. are saved on my comp.. Lord is he cute!!))

Tom shrugged when she returned the plant, placing it on the nearby table, though he smiled anyways. Well this girl seemed quite nervous, but he didn't know why. That was the one aspect he wasn't very versed in. But oh well, he'll read a book on this sort of thing later. "Oh you're Harper's sister? Well it is nice to meet you, 'Etta. My name is Tom, Tom Clark," Tom said with a smile offering his hand for her to shake. ((Lol that's AWESOME!!! And sorry it is short and probably a bunch of typos, I'm on the road and my phone ))

Marietta nervously played with her hair, straightening part of her curly mane each time she rubbed it. She shook his hand and smiled. She looked at the door, certain her sister would break in a any moment and drag her away to go do whatever, probably more homework.
"Harper is my... mother-like older sister. She tends to drag me away when I talk to anyone she doesn't think should be my friend." Marietta scratched her head, "It's great to meet you Tom, I love your hair by the way.. It's so straight and looks soft. I have this big curly red mess.." She scrunched her hair in her free hand.

Tomas caught her look towards the door, and related it to what she had said about her sister thus coming up with tje assumption that Harper did not think him to be a good influence on her. He understood, of course, given their side of the war and his whole family's side of the war. Tom knew that it was a little over half a year until his father's fall to the Death Eaters, and so at least there was a chance Tom might help prevent his father's fall and at least have his father be an independant, or something. However, his siblings couldn't find out or they might disown him, and he didn't like the thought of that at all.
"So she doesn't want you to have a friend like me?" Tom asked with a small smile, "It's ok really, I get that all the time with my father being who he is." Most of those from the Resistance didn't like him, since his father was known as the line DA spy, and relayed a lot of information about the DA and then the Resistance until he was caught and nearly killed by a few of the members. "Well, I guess it is soft, though I do like your hair more, it's long and very appealing to the eyes."

Marietta looked back at him and smiled, "No no! My sister is just really cautious, she doesn't really know about my other friends. And besides, I don't take place in politics. I don't really mind what goes on, or who's side anyones on." she shook her head and then scratched her arm. She stretched and said, "Wow, for some reason, I am really nervous and I really don't know why." she lied, she knew why, she just wasn't going to reveal it.
She giggled and then covered her mouth, "I did not mean to giggle like that!" and then she added, "No no, my hair is much too long and takes forever to dry, and half the time it doesn't want to straighten! Your's is much simpler, and I like it. I really want to touch it.. but that would be wrong, and I don't want to creep you out."

Damn it. He was wrong. He hated that feeling. He never wanted to be wrong ever. But he just was stupid and came to a quick assumption. Well he was usually good at making good guesses on little information, and liked when he was right, but in this case he failed to be right. Something he hated so much. "Oh ok. Politics , don't matter too much to me, though, if I had to choose I dunno." Yeah he actually did know, because he had met David when he was young. David opened Tom's eyes to the world, before Tristan tried to force Tom to kill him, but Tom couldn't so Tristan killed him before his eyes. Not something he'd ever forget.
"Oh you can if you really want to. Thing with my hair is that it is simple, and like a bunch of other kid's hair, but yours looks interesting and unique," Tom said with a smile still on his face. Well she may be different, but he liked different, he liked when someone wasn't the same as everyone else.

Marietta smiled, "That's okay, I'd probably just run and hide but that's because my sister has more confidence than me and won't teach me everything she knows so you know I kind of have to make my own dicisions with that kind of stuff." He voice kept faltering, Prussian to Irish, Irish to Prussian. She kept changing, sometimes it seemed like she didn't know who the heck she was and she hated that.
"Wait you really don't mind if I touch your hair?" She asked kind of batting her lashes, "My hair? Unique? I have to use three different combs because of how long it gets when its wet. One for the before shower, one for durring and one for after. Yours, if you grew it out, I can see you being that cocky kid, who I thought was totes hot, iin The Three Musketeers." She was totally flirting and was so glad her sister wasn't there to drag her away from this.

Was she German or something? He could hear Irish in there as ... Maybe she was part German and part Irish? Wait... There were Prussians who sounded German, so maybe instead of German she was part Prussian? Tom remembered back and remembered someone saying Harper was German before getting told by someone else that she was Prussian and her mum was quite proud about that fact. Yeah, she must have been Prussian and Irish? Since when did Prussians and Irish got together? He must be right about the Irish thing, or he was missing something.
"I bet there is some courage deep within you, even if not, it's ok to run away sometimes and be scared, it's only natural," Tom said trying to say something that sounded smart, so he could impress her eith his smartness. He didn't even pick up on her flirting, even if he was sort of flirting in his weird little way. "Sure, it's not every day that some one wants to touch your hair," Tom shrugged not minding one bit, and not even thinking it was odd, different, but not odd. "Well I love yoir hair, even if it takes high maintenance, it's very pretty." Complimenting, page 2 on how to flirt. Books knew all. "Me that Three Musketeer guy? I dunno, my hair isn't that fabulous," Tom shrugged with a smile.

Marietta took a deep breath, Irish, she had to stick with Irish. It wasn't too foreign to England, nor was it like no one had heard it before. She was pointing her toes inward some and then she started kicking the ground. This is soo going in the log, the girls will be so jealous too. she thought still smiling. Sometimes she could be a bit of a real snob, but when called out she'd cry to her sister and have her scare them off.
"Thanks! Me sister she doesn't believe it, I can be tough, I can be someone's worst nightmare if I wanted to." the small girl placed her hands on her almost non-existant hips. Being fourteen and having almost no figure, she felt like she was still twelve. "Atleast someone believes that running away is a good tactic sometimes! Me sister believes and me mum believed that it takes really good stratagey to be what her family is." She leaned against one of the tables and said, "You're really smart too. Funny, smart, cute, great hair, beautiful eyes, perfect face, your like the full package.."
Etta stood on her toes and reached a hand up to touch his hair. "Wow! Your hair really is soft..." She was so short, most would've seen it as cute, some would pick on her but she saw it as an excuse for people to get her stuff off the top row, hide in the back of class rooms, and get away with some stuff. "Oh, well.. you know.. Irish people have to keep up and image. Although I would love my sisters hair." She laughed with a small snort which made her gasp, since when did she snort? She shook it off, "Oh please, you don't have fabulous hair? You saying that would be like. . . like me saying I hate puppies.. I love puppies, I have a french one sitting in my room."

Well now she was staying Irish. Oh well, it wasn't like he already figured it out, or he did at least to some degree. He didn't actually care toouch, he just liked excercising his brain muscles trying to find out where a person was.... Wait, he just realized, she was flirting? With him? And she wasn't some stupid Death Eater supporter who thought he was like his Dad? Well, he wasn't very knowledgable when it came to flirting, especially when one was doing it with him. Weird feeling though.
"I bet you can," Tom said chuckling at how cute she looked placing her hands on her hips. Well he had to admit, she was extremely cute, and pretty, and well she just seemed extremely friendly. He liked that in someone."Me the whole package? Well I guess one might see it that way, but really, if you look at yourself you have all of those qualities yourself." Yeah she was definately flirting with him, which was cute and made him feel all good inside. It wasn't everyday he was considered cute or funny. Well he was sure there were a few who thought he was cute, but most were either to afraid of him and his family, or didn't like him.
"I guess it's soft, I use a shampoo my father gets from a friend who makes the best shampoos," Tom shrugged. Ah he didn't really think he had too great of hair, but he wouldn't dispute it. He already knew she was nervous from when he had first approached her. "Well I guess I have fine hair, though there are plenty of others who have better hair, I like unique and different, which is like your hair."

Marietta smiled and didn't know what to do so she kept smiling. Oddly enough the tune to 'Just Keep Swimming' from Finding Nemo was stuck in her head. She was sure she'd be figured out. It wasn't hard to tell she was flirting, but the big question was, was he flirting back? She bit her lower lip and looked around. She kept thinking Keep him talking!
"You're so flirting.." she smiled and bit her tounge. She so called him out on it too, all she had to do was keep talking right? "Oh please, I'm not smart. If I was, I'd be part of the family business. You though.. you have it all. I've got looks and charm but beyond that I have something." It wasn't normal for her to flirt this much with someone, but hey, when you like someone older than you, you've gotta do what you gotta do. She batted her lashes and crossed her arms behind her. It was a move she'd pulled as a kid that worked when she was telling her dad she didn't do something.
"Woah! You get hair crack?" Etta asked. She twirled her hair again and said, "You like unique hair? You strike me more as the kind who likes curly hair, and look at that! I have curly hair!" she chuckled at herself, she was such a noob sometimes.

Oh no! She found him out! That is the last time he would ever take advice from Twenty Fail-Safe Ways to Flirt by Gilderoy Lockhart. Tom blushed ever so slightly. Why did she have to be so direct? Oh well. She found him out, and he couldn't recover from that. He wouldn't lie, because that would be just stupid to do, because it wasn't that big of a deal.
"Er.... yeah... well... This is kinda new to me, so yeah, I was kinda, you know, flirting. I haven't found anyone who likes me not because of my family. Most think I am like my older brother and my father," Tom said nervously rubbing the back of his neck. Stupid Lockhart and his faulty ways. "Family Business? I'm sure you could do what ever your family does, I mean, I just met you and I kinda like you already. You could go undercover and everyone would love you!" Tom had no clue what their family business was, but he was just joking when he suggested it had to do with going undercover. "I bet you have a lot more than just charm and looks. I mean, you already admited you have some courage in you, and while I just met you I can tell there must be something more about you."
Hair... Crack? Tom laughed at that comment thinking that it was funny. "See you're funny!" Tom said smiling widely, "I guess you could call it. Anyone can buy it though, it's quite easy, Dad just gets it for free." Well she did have a point, curly hair did look pretty cute on pretty much everyone (well except on guys, he didn't like that). "Curly hair is quite cute, much like you and you're silly cute ways."

Marietta did a little cheer in her head. She was glad she was right, hardly ever did she get anything right. It did feel good though! She smiled and started rubbing her hair again. And not being big on reading, she'd never really read anything like this. Although if she did read, it was always a paranormal mystery where someone ended up getting possessed. For some reason she really liked those stories.
"Oh it's fine! If it helps, I've never really liked someone like you before. Me sister won't really let me get close enough to anyone to really flirt.." she smiled, "If you knew what my family did, you would not have just said that.." She laughed nervously and then looked around. If her sister would let her go undercover, she'd be great! But sadly, she couldn't do anything.
"That was something I picked up off a movie, I'm great with movie quotes." she smiled. Blushing from embarrassment, she started to move around nervously. Evil habit that was a dead give away when she was embarrassed. She gigged when he called her cute, "Well, now you've got me blushing. And they aren't silly ways.. they're my ways!" She couldn't stop laughing and then added, "I might want to try it then huh? If it makes your hair sleek, and soft just imagine what it would do to my hair."
