Trotting down the stairs with Benjamin following closely behind, the two discovered Coco and Blake in the common room. The pair were engrossed in a game of wizard's chess, with Blake in the lead. Even so, Coco didn't seem very bothered, playing rather casually. The two had formed their friendship specifically because of the game, often beating out the other and constantly trying to see who was the better player. Noel personally thought Blake was the better strategist, but Coco's ability to react and adjust was a valuable trait.

Blake noticed the duo first, looking Noel up and down. "[color=teal]Who's the unfortunate victim?[/color]" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"[color=yellowgreen]Demetria Graves,[/color]" Benjamin replied as he would pull up a chair to watch the game.

"[color=teal]I'll be sure to inform Madam Appleton that you want a bed next to Kalder's, then,[/color]" She said without taking her eyes off the board.

"[color=green]Well...I'd drop her in a heartbeat if you just let me in,[/color]" Noel's voice was oddly sensual as he leaned over Blake from behind her seat, a sly smile on his face as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "[color=green]You know you want me.[/color]"

"[color=teal]So I can end up on the Jameson List?[/color]" Blake rebuked Noel immediately, swatting his hands away. "[color=teal]I don't think so.[/color]"

"[color=darkgreen]There's a [I]list[/I]?[/color]" Coco asked, snapping out of his concentration. "[color=darkgreen]Girls are bonkers, organizing that shit.[/color]"

"[color=yellowgreen]Noel is just a whore,[/color]" Benjamin laughed, relaxing in his seat.

Now it was Noel's turn to scowl. "[color=green]Excuse me for having a good time,[/color]" He muttered, mildly offended. "[color=green]You're all mighty invested, aren't you?[/color]"

"[color=teal]Rook to G3. I personally don't care who you want to snog, I just found it odd you decided to pick on the girl with the aggressive, overprotective older brother,[/color]" Blake said, watching the chess piece move and ram into Coco's bishop. "[color=teal]You usually go after easier girls.[/color]"

"[color=yellowgreen]That's what I said,[/color]" Benjamin added.

Coco scratched his hair with both hands before plopping them on his lap. "[color=darkgreen]Knight to G3. I don't see anything wrong with a little challenge once in a while,[/color]" He said. "[color=darkgreen]Although I don't think you're going to get anywhere with her, I had Transfiguration with her last year, and she really keeps to herself even though we were partners. So don't get your hopes up.[/color]"

Rolling his eyes, Noel decided he would rather get going than have to keep listening to everyone's crap.
