*** Sirius enters from Outside ***
Gosh, what a cool shop! Sirius was stunned at first view. There were so many joke items. His eyes didn’t know where to look at first. At this moment he was happy that he took a lot of his money with him to this trip. Maybe he would get a lot needier during the next hour… There were some more students around from different Houses. So no one could say humor belongs to a specific House. Sirius started to look at the goods. Frog Spawn Soap? That sounded very funny. Hopefully they got some stench bombs here, too.

*** Coco enters from Outside The Shops ***
It hadn't Coco taken long to find a shop of her interest, and not knowing how much of her interest until she actually had entered it. With a rare smile on her face, not the biggest of them all yet a smile, she wandered around all the funny stuff, imagining what they could cause in the hands of some clowns.
Just as she grabbed at one big box of joke articles on one of the shelves, someone looked back at her from the other side of the shelve - accidentally of course. "Jezus, can't you warn someone when standing right behind ze other side? Or are you stalking me?", Coco joked, although her joking always was like a mystery to most people since she was joking without putting on a smile.

Just when he grabbed a box of Frog Spawn Soap someone else grabbed something from the other side of the shelve. It was Cami’s strange bestie. "Jezus, can't you warn someone when standing right behind ze other side? Or are you stalking me?" Sirius' first impulse was to return the box and to quit their eye contact. But then he contained himself and desisted from that. It would be just too childish. "What’s your problem, vamp? Thought you would have the ability to sense the Living ones," he riposted. Hopefully she didn’t mind his joke but he couldn’t resist. But after a few seconds he showed her a big grin. "Oh, or are you stalking me?!" He didn’t really recognize that his mood got a bit better now while he tried to joke with her. She was the kind of girl he always could have come along with very well.

Wow, Coco must have the face of Godzilla or something, judging from the shock on the boy's face before just replacing the box of joke articles on his side of the shelve. Like... seriously? Coco had to grin at this fact where most other girls probably would have felt kind of aggrieved. She really had no problem with people being scared of her, quite the contrary. That way she had been spared from a lot of conversations she didn't want to have.
"What’s your problem, vamp? Thought you would have the ability to sense the Living ones," Coco didn't bother nicknames like that. People had been giving her worse. Also, this boy seemed to be in a joking attitude all of a sudden. "Oh, or are you stalking me?!"
"Are you worth ze effort?", she countered with a flirty tone, yet not too much out of line from her terrifying reputation. Not that, in the end, someone could get the idea she would be nice. Coco smirked again, this time only inwardly.

"Are you worth ze effort?" Was he kidding at him?! Or did she just know no limits? If he didn’t err she was using a flirty tone. Oh hell, please not! The last thing he needed was his loveinterest’s bestie getting a crush on him... Suddenly he recognized how silly he had to appear in front of her at the moment. He was sure that some of his thoughts or feelings had to be seen on his face like reading in an open book. So he just stepped away without another word. But not to leave this place. (He couldn’t leave the shop for that reason alone that he had to pay his articles.) He sneaked around the shelve and up to her.
"Boo!" He wanted to scare her but suddenly he couldn’t stay serious any longer and had to laugh. "I’m sorry. It’s just… you’re a strange girl, Coco! Don’t want to offend you. But C'mon – you know what I mean." Talking to her – to her alone without sweet Cami at her side – felt so natural. For a moment he forgot to stay straight in his role as 'the little strange girl' himself. It was a warm feeling like coming home, feeling save and so on. He knew (Hopefully he didn’t make a mistake!) that he didn’t have to hide his true inner self in front of her. And so he gave up unwitting playing his role for a moment and went on talking in a flirty tone, too. "Tell me, Coco, what made you think you’re worth it stalking you?"

Coco was wordlessly studying the boy, as he went completely silent. Not only did he went silent, but he also seemed to have kind of an inner conversation on his own, judging by his facial rollercoaster. Well, Coco had been just joking, so, at some point, she became a little annoyed of just standing here and getting stared like she would have asked him to marry her, heaven forbidden.
Just as she was going to say something else, he was stepping away from her all of a sudden. Like... seriously? What the hell was the matter with this dude? Now it was her face that was showing a facial rollercoaster. Never did anyone literally escaped from her. And yet again, a circumstance that triggered satisfaction or in this case rather amusement in her than grievance.
"Boo!"
Oh, so he was still there, Coco noticed with a smirk without any hint of being shaken or shocked. She was a toughie when it came to scare and fright, probably well exercised with a lot of horror movies she had seen as entertainment while the other kids in her age had been still playing with their Barbie dolls. Also, this dude was a shame when it came to scaring anyone.
"I’m sorry. It’s just… you’re a strange girl, Coco! Don’t want to offend you. But C'mon – you know what I mean."
While there was a vacant look on her face, her thoughts were kind of this: ... says the boy who just fled from me and then came back in the try to scare me with a basic Boo. Yet still, Coco found herself kind of enjoying this strange encounter. At some point, her vacant expression even allowed a slight smirk to mix up with it.
"Tell me, Coco, what made you think you’re worth it stalking you?"
Gosh, he was like a timid fawn, that due to some kind of inner barrier didn't let it be the deer it actually wanted to be. Well, Coco was anything but a reader of mankind, god, she was not even a friend of mankind.
"Oh, in fact, I know I'm not worth zat.", she replied matter-of-factly and without a twinge of sorrow. "This is ze bitchy witch everyone's scared of, remember?", Coco added with gesturing to herself and a short throaty chuckle. She was perfectly fine with that title and reputation.

"Oh, in fact, I know I'm not worth zat." "This is ze bitchy witch everyone's scared of, remember?" She was kinda funny – in her own way. Yet again he had to laugh. "Yeah, how could I forget?!," he answerd smirking. "But you know what? I’m Emily the strange. So I guess we’re both in good company." He stopped for a moment because a strange thought came to his mind. Finally the grin on his face got broader and there was a mischievously sparkle in his eyes. "Hey, you like playing tricks on others? I mean, surely you do – we’re at the Joke Shop! What about playing a trick at the teachers? Are you in on it?"

"But you know what? I’m Emily the strange. So I guess we’re both in good company."
At that, slight confusion flashed over her features for a moment, but she was doing her best to overplay it with a smile, actually something she usually didn't do. But, maybe for once, she felt a little bit bad about something regarding someone else, and that was to having misgendered this girl. Still, Coco had been so sure this was an androgynous-looking boy. Well, what did she know with her bad ability as for reading of mankind?
"Hey, you like playing tricks on others? I mean, surely you do – we’re at the Joke Shop! What about playing a trick on the teachers? Are you in on it?", Emily asked in a sudden rapture all of a sudden.
"Now you're talking my language, dude.", Coco replied with a mischievous grin herself. Maybe she should feel a little bad for having fun without her bestie Cami because this was actually a highlight, but then again, there just were things Cami didn't understand, like it being fun to play tricks at teachers. Also, Coco was quite sure she was having her own fun with Mr. Babyface right now.
"I've seen some nice stuff over there.", she added as she was already starting to lead the way to one of the shelves on the other side of the shop.

"Now you're talking my language, dude." That grin on her face and that sparkle in her eyes told him that they both were really cast in the same mold. "I've seen some nice stuff over there." And Coco now took the lead and walked over to one shelf nearby. Sirius followed her, a mischievous grin on his lips, too. "Hope you’re looking out for the Dungbombs because these are a must-do."
His eyes fell on the shelve with the Auto-Answer Quills. "Yay, that would be good for herbal and potion lessons," he mumbled to himself. Although he knew that these ones were forbidden – especially during examinations where they also would be stopped by anti-cheating charms – he couldn’t resist to take one. Maybe it would help him with his homework for some school subjects. Or it would make him visit Boyle’s special meetings after classes again… Who cares? He thought the risk was worth it.
Then he arrived Coco. "Sorry, just had to grab something useful," he said smirking and showed her the item. "But before we start planning our great trick we should decide which teacher or teachers should be the lucky ones. During the last weeks everybody seemed to just talk about the Tournament. But I remember that I’ve heard something else. Something maybe important to us. I picked up the rumor that we'll have a new teacher on board. There was no Defense against the Dark Arts lessons this year. But during the next days we should get a new shedule where these would be included – and with that also a new teacher. I’ve also heard that this guy would come from L.A. but as far as I know he wasn’t a teacher at Ilvermorny…" Sirius stopped for a moment. He should be careful with his information. He always tried to avoid topics concerning his former school to not unmask himself. But this one surely wasn’t too suspicious. "So what could be better to welcome a new teacher than playing a trick on him?"

"Hope you’re looking out for the Dungbombs because these are a must-do."
Coco actually had no idea what all the stuff around was for and even less how it was called, but by just the view on some of the illustrations upon packages and boxes, she could tell that they meant great fun. Most probably fun that wasn't so legal, which, in her opinion, was even adding to the fun. And judging by the grin on Emily's face she had found a good partner in crime here.
"Sorry, just had to grab something useful,"
Coco hadn't even noticed that Emily had fallen behind, as she was still too distracted with the stuff around, so she just shrugged her shoulders.
"But before we start planning our great trick we should decide which teacher or teachers should be the lucky ones. During the last weeks, everybody seemed to just talk about the Tournament. But I remember that I’ve heard something else. Something maybe important to us. I picked up the rumor that we'll have a new teacher on board. There was no Defense against the Dark Arts lessons this year. But during the next days, we should get a new schedule where these would be included – and with that also a new teacher. I’ve also heard that this guy would come from L.A. but as far as I know, he wasn’t a teacher at Ilvermorny…"
"You're a dab hand at doin' research, lady.", Coco stated with a nod in her direction before grabbing at another package of joke articles.
"So what could be better to welcome a new teacher than playing a trick on him?"
"You guys have anything like zis around Ilvermorny? Just asking cause Beauxbatons iz quite a philistine club...", she said with an eye roll. Also, a club with only chicks and Cami. God, if there wouldn't be Cami, she didn't know what to do there at all.

Sirius never had been to Hogsmeade but he had heard about Zonko’s. And it was obvious that Coco never had been to a shop like this before. She turned her head round and round and looked with shining eyes at all these stuff. And she also obviously was very excited because of his idea playing a trick on the new teacher. "You're a dab hand at doin' research, lady." "You guys have anything like zis around Ilvermorny? Just asking cause Beauxbatons iz quite a philistine club..." "Yeah, Ilvermorny is not so… well, like your school. And like Hogwarts girls and boys are sitting together in classes. And of course we got something like this nearby. I’ve loved joke articles from my early childhood. My father often bought some for me when he travelled around for the Quidditch League…" He stopped for a moment because memories of his father came to his mind. But he did his best to calm then down and hold his tears back. After a few deep breaths he cleared his throat and tried to change the topic. "Even if Beauxbatons is a philistine club I would like to hear more about it. What about your friend - Cami? Is she also a philistine? I mean you two are getting along very well so I think she might be a bit different from the other girls… A bit more like you?"

I’ve loved joke articles from my early childhood. My father often bought some for me when he traveled around for the Quidditch League…"
Oh wow, now that she heard this seemed to be a common thing, just not around their place, Coco was hating the fact that, eventually, they would have to return home even more. Hopefully, her companion wouldn't take her sudden eye-rolling wrong, for it wasn't meant to come off as annoyance towards what she was telling her about her school. Being observed with thoughts on her own, Coco also didn't notice the sudden change in Emily's features. Well, she was the worst when it came to cheering anybody up, so it probably was best this way. Back at the time when she had been still visiting a regular muggle school, she had caused a girl to get an anxiety attack after having tried to cheer her up because of something Coco not even remembered nowadays. Today she did care as much as she did back in that time - namely not at all.
"Even if Beauxbatons is a philistine club I would like to hear more about it. What about your friend - Cami? Is she also a philistine? I mean you two are getting along very well so I think she might be a bit different from the other girls… A bit more like you?"
And now the eye-rolling in Coco's face had been pretty much caused by the other's words. "Why's everyone so obsessed with her? I mean, do you even know anything about her other than her name? Well, never mind," she waved her annoyance, that had come off in her usual evenly rather than in an offended tone, away at last. "Why don't you just ask her yourself? Have never seen her swooning over anybody else than these Ken figures though... Barbie and Ken?", she added as she thought to catch a questioning look on the girl's face. Yah, she truly was the worst in cheering anyone up. But should she talk false hope into her when she was rather sure that Cami had no sexual interest in girls?

Did she rolled her eyes? Oh yes, she did. 'Gosh, you idiot!,' he declared himself a fool. "Why's everyone so obsessed with her? I mean, do you even know anything about her other than her name? Well, never mind," "Um,… well…" But Coco didn’t let him speak out. "Why don't you just ask her yourself? Have never seen her swooning over anybody else than these Ken figures though... Barbie and Ken?" If his counterpart wanted to cheer him up or something like that she failed. Now the questioning look on his face got just more confused. "Barbie and Ken? What are you talking about?" Sirius never played with Barbies or any kind of puppets. He really didn’t know what theese terms mean. But he feared that Coco realized his crush on Cami. So if he didn’t want this situation becoming one of those strange situations including awkward silence he should try to change their topic. "Okay, sorry. I don’t want to bother you with questions about your bestie. It’s just… you two seem to be so different…" He coughed slightly and took a look around. "Let’s get some more items for our prank. Don’t mind me asking questions about others. The most important thing is that we both are speaking the same language."
Sirius walked over to another shelf and grabbed a few more joke items. Then he took a look over his shoulder back to the french girl. "Hey, Coco, you know what?! You’re the first one who dares to join me for a joke since a long while. Most of my friends dodn’t want to do that twice. They really fear the teacher’s anger." Especially Professor Boyle’s. But not Sirius. Meanwhile it has become a routine for him being one of the unlucky students who had to come to the Professor’s office.

She simply ignored Emily's question about what Barbie and Ken were supposed to be. As a muggle-born witch, Coco was used to so often having to explain her phrases that, nowadays, she was mostly too tired of that to explain at all.
"Okay, sorry. I don’t want to bother you with questions about your bestie. It’s just… you two seem to be so different…"
And there was it again - this different phrase. Coco looked up at her with a mix of confusion and the usual face she made when someone had said either something very stupid or something she didn't quite get. Yet, before she'd been able to say anything at all, Emily was rattling on, kind of sounding like she was trying to talk her way out of this last part, but Coco wouldn't let her. She actually had to hide a little bit of amusement that she felt breaking its way up to the surface. Smiles were rare on her face, and that was a good thing; to her at least.
"Oh no no no, wait a second and don't you just change ze topic again. Now, zis would be interesting to know because you said so twice already: How are Cami and me so very different?" She gave Emily an expectant look, still hiding the upcoming amusement. "You mean that like... her being gorgeous and me being... awful?" And then it happened yet that a slight smirk was breaking through. "Oh c'mon, don't look at me like any answer from you could make me cry. Just curious.", she added with a push of her elbow.

Okay, that look told him that he’d said something wrong or even stupid. Although Coco seemed to be annoyed very often – or maybe it was just her normal appearance – she really looked like she was also a bit angry now. That was the reason why he tried to change the topic. And well, it didn’t work. But she also amused herself if Sirius didn’t delude himself. "Oh no no no, wait a second and don't you just change ze topic again. Now, zis would be interesting to know because you said so twice already: How are Cami and me so very different?" Maybe she just enjoyed doing harm to others. Sirius now felt like an idiot and also like she pointed her finger on him. And maybe she was right to do so. No one should judge books by their covers, right? "You mean that like... her being gorgeous and me being... awful?" "Um,y… wait! What? I didn’t…" 'I didn’t mean awful,' was what he would have liked to say but Coco didn’t gave him the chance. At least she became sarcastic while there also was a grin in her face. (It was just a slight smirk but according to her normal facial features it appeared like a grin.) "Oh c'mon, don't look at me like any answer from you could make me cry. Just curious." "Haha, get it. Sorry. You’re right. I didn’t want to judge you or Cami. But I also didn’t say that you’re aweful! You’re… well, let’s say specific?!" According to his own words Sirius now felt a bit awkward. "I mean specific in a positive way!" Suddenly he had to laugh. "I’m sorry. It’s just… most of my old friends, I mean my close friends, were similar to myself. We shared our interests and hobbies. I’m not sure if I would get around so well with someone who’d be too different from myself or at least who seems to be. But, again, sorry. I shouldn’t judge you or your friend just because of your appearance." During his speech he started to become more serious. "To be honest, Coco, I think I admire you a little bit. You don’t want to fit into their norm. That’s cool. I really like that attitude. I’m also a kind of rebel."

At some point, she was nothing but highly amused about Emily's stumbling to talk her way out of this, but Coco wouldn't let that show. Why's that? - Because she was quite awful indeed, she thought with just a little raising of her lips.
"I’m sorry. It’s just… most of my old friends, I mean my close friends, were similar to myself. We shared our interests and hobbies. I’m not sure if I would get around so well with someone who’d be too different from myself or at least who seems to be. But, again, sorry. I shouldn’t judge you or your friend just because of your appearance."
Fair enough, Coco replied only in mind, while still giving her the silent treatment just because it was more fun. Yup, bitch.
"To be honest, Coco, I think I admire you a little bit." At that, Coco raised an eyebrow, kind of really surprised for the first time during their conversation. No one ever admired her. "You don’t want to fit into their norm. That’s cool. I really like that attitude. I’m also a kind of rebel."
And then it happened that she suddenly smiled - a genuine smile. "You are?", she asked with a rather unusual playfully tone in her voice. "How?" The last question she added with a challenging look on her face. This whole conversation turned out to be not as boring as she had it expected to be, because - let's face it - most people were boring as shit, which was the main reason why she didn't put any energy into getting along with anyone. But Emily was somehow different. There was something about her that wasn't boring at all, almost interesting, or even... mysterious?

Wow, did she really… smile? Could it be that he affected something inside her that not many people did before? She looked so surprised. "You are?" "How?" Good question. It was always easy to say I’m a rebell, I’m different from the rest, but to be honest it was not so easy to explain it specifically. "Um, well,…" Think about it, Sirius! There had to be something… And suddenly there was something at his mind. "For example that I’m wearing pants instead of skirts." Yes, good. That was not usual and could be called a little rebellion. And once started there are many other small things that could be mentioned. "Oh, wait! What about music? I mean, I’m sure you’re a kind of Gothic Girl or something like that, huh?! I also love music styles that are way back from the mainstream. And last but not least there are some teachers which don’t like my lax attitude concerning most of the lessons. But hey, most of our lessons are boring indeed! The only ones I really love are the Flighing lessons." Sirius stopped for a moment because he had to think about his father. He had teached him how to fly when he was just a little kid. But he didn’t allow these thoughts to be shown on his facial expressions. Not yet. He could deal with his thoughts and memories when he would be alone back at Hogwarts. "What about you? Do you like Quidditch?"

When Coco noticed the surprise on the other girl's face, her smile was fading at once. Maybe to clarify that she wasn't friendly, or maybe to hide that she actually could be. Not a lot of people have ever seen her smile. She liked her reputation. Or she pretended to do so. She probably didn't even know the truth about that herself.
"Um, well,…" And back came the smile to Coco's face, yet this time in the, still rare, but more often occurring way of malice. "For example that I’m wearing pants instead of skirts."
"Dude.", she interrupted with a dry tone. "I'm not so much a skirt person either. Try again."
"Oh, wait! What about music? I mean, I’m sure you’re a kind of Gothic Girl or something like that, huh?! I also love music styles that are way back from the mainstream. And last but not least there are some teachers which don’t like my lax attitude concerning most of the lessons. But hey, most of our lessons are boring indeed! The only ones I really love are the Flighing lessons."
Coco fixated her wordless for another moment until she finally said: "That's better.", without confirming her own taste of music. But of course, Emily had been right about that. Not really rocket science though.
"What about you? Do you like Quidditch?"
"Oh, that zis game where everyone flies on a broom, trying to catch some kind of golden ball thingy?", she asked in a way that one might think she was, at least, interested in hearing more about it, only to give a rather bored reply to the question just a second later. "Nah, I'm not so much into watching sports." Maybe it would be different to participate but never would anyone invite her into a team. Sarcastic laughter almost found its way through the surface, but she could hold it back last minute. On the other hand, it was an interesting picture, with people hearing the news about a Beauxbaton student being part of such a brutal game. That definitely would be something to her liking about this idea.

There was something about this odd girl that attracted him – in a way he couldn’t clearly explain. Maybe it was the fact that there seemed to be so much more behind the mask she always tried to wear at the outside. That, in fact, made them both a bit more similar to each other than he would have thought before. There also was a little moment when something in his inner self wished to tell her the truth about 'Emily the strange'. But at the very same moment he knew that this would be the beginning of the end of his disguise. If only one another person would know the truth it would go viral. No matter if Coco would be the one telling her friend and so on or if Sirius decided to tell it to a second, a third and so on person. He just knew that he had to keep his lips sealed. If it would spread at school it also would find its way into the false ears one day…
"That's better." Well, she didn’t say if he was right or not but he decided to leave it at that. But maybe she was interested in Quidditch. "Oh, that zis game where everyone flies on a broom, trying to catch some kind of golden ball thingy?" "Yes, exactly – if you want I can tell…" Coco interrupted his words and seemed to be bored again. Hell, what was wrong with this girl?! "Nah, I'm not so much into watching sports." "Okaaaay…," he replied with a long-drawn-out tone. "But," he started to continue before the girl had the chance to hijack the discussion, "maybe it’s just because you never tried to do it yourself. I can teach you a bit if you like. Or should I say if you dares to?!" It was clearly a kind of provocation now. Of course, not malicious but rather a bit playful.

"Okaaaay…," Coco would have lied if she said that this reaction didn't amuse her even more. Driving people up the wall could be well said was her favorite pastime, closely followed by eating ice-cream and chocolate. Well, as for the order that was open to dispute. "But," Oh, so this girl was still not giving up, how very incentive. Coco liked a challenge. She would give her, at least, a chance to try further. "maybe it’s just because you never tried to do it yourself. I can teach you a bit if you like. Or should I say if you dares to?!"
Coco's eyes widened all of a sudden. So, the girl started to challenge her indeed. How very intriguing. She smiled, yet in a devilish way. "You callin' me out? Because that would make you heading down a dark path, just zat you know.", Coco added with a chuckle now, one that mixed up amusement with just a little hint of bitterness the lone girl inside of her was hiding all around the clock, not even obvious to herself. She was not exactly lonely with Cami, but had it taken them years to open up to her best and actually only friend, and as soon as Cami was with someone else, like right now, Coco usually had nobody, pretending to like it that way - believing her own lie.

Sirius started to really like this conversation. To be honest it was so much fun to battle with Coco. And he got the feeling she felt the same way. "You callin' me out? Because that would make you heading down a dark path, just zat you know." Suddenly he felt like he had jumped on a train and now headed to the point of no return. But he didn’t want to go back. He wanted to go further. "Yes, I do," he took up the thread. "And what if I… like… dark pathes?!" It took a moment until he realized that she could get his words totally wrong. But he didn’t waste his breath to make it clear. He went on talking without thinking instead. "Hey, what about doing it now?! We could take a train back to Hogwarts and continue this little dispute on the Quidditch Pitch." That would also be an infringement. They shouldn’t leave Hogsmeade alone without speaking to an authority. But sometimes Sirius didn’t care much about rules. He wondered if Coco did.

"Yes, I do,""And what if I… like… dark pathes?!"
Now it was on Coco to reply with an elongated "Okaaaaay..." yet with a grin following right after. This girl seemed to be pretty alright. Of course, Coco wouldn't go so far to say that she liked her. They have just met anyway. Also, with liking someone she had a wall up her mind which foundations she probably didn't know herself. Maybe something about liking someone would mean there was a chance to not get liked back and therefore to stand like emotionally exposed in front of that someone? No, this was just pastime until she would be together with Cami again.
"Hey, what about doing it now?! We could take a train back to Hogwarts and continue this little dispute on the Quidditch Pitch."
"You mean like right right now?", she asked with a gesturing of her hands before keeping her off from giving an answer to that right away by just going on. "Dude, zat's not a taxi... you know what a taxi iz, do you?", Coco quickly added like someone who not exactly was asking an actual question but like not taking the other one seriously.

"You mean like right right now?" "Um,…," he couldn’t say more because she didn’t let him and because he felt like an idiot acting this way. "Dude, zat's not a taxi... you know what a taxi iz, do you?" Okay, to be fair: He had been a bit to much enthusiastic. But did that mean she should act like she didn’t take him serious? So he couldn’t stop himself from getting an angry tone even if he liked her and felt that they could get along with each other very well. "Hey, don’t deride me! Of course, I know what a taxi is. And yeah, just couldn’t wait to be back at the Quidditch pitch so didn’t think about that we’re stocked here until we all have to leave together." He made a pause and sighed. "Wanna get back to joke-business? What about putting Belch Powder in some butterbeers? I’ve to admit that I'm laughing my ass out just because of the imagination of burping people all over the pub."

"Hey, don’t deride me! Of course, I know what a taxi is. And yeah, just couldn’t wait to be back at the Quidditch pitch so didn’t think about that we’re stocked here until we all have to leave together."
"Hey, cool down, girl." Coco shrugged casually. Not that she really cared if she was pissing somebody off, but, well... for some reason, she did a little bit with her. This girl seemed to be cool and probably didn't deserve the full Coco-the-bitch payload. But before she could have actually apologized, Emily - thank heavens! - just went on with another topic.
"Wanna get back to joke-business?" Coco replied with another shrug, thankful for having gotten spared from saying something kind to a stranger or rather to someone who wasn't Cami. "What about putting Belch Powder in some butterbeers? I’ve to admit that I'm laughing my ass out just because of the imagination of burping people all over the pub."
"Or imagine it being a laxative instead!" she suddenly climbed on the bandwagon, maybe not as enthusiastic as the other girl but with an almost devilish sparkle in her eyes for that. "Okay. Who's gonna be our first victim?"

"Or imagine it being a laxative instead!" "Oh, you hellcat," he gave back with an evil grin on his own face. He really felt that they both could get along very very well. "Okay. Who's gonna be our first victim?" "Let’s get to our stage first and take some looks around before we decide who’s gonna be the lucky one." It felt really good to finally found someone who liked jokes and tricks as much as he did. And he somehow started to sense that Coco was much more than this sarcastic girl she made everybody believe she would be like. "Okay, let’s pay our bills and move on. I’m sure this will become great fun!" Suddenly he felt an excitement that he normaly just felt when he was at the Quidditch pitch. And that he hadn’t feel very often since his Dad had passed away. He wondered if they would also get along with each other this way if they had become rivals during the Tournament? Maybe he should be glad that he wasn’t chosen… "Hey, just one thing. Did you know that I wanted to join the Tri Wizard Tournament as well? I mean, you know I won’t be your opponent. But – and that’s what I wanted to know – why do you wanna be a part of it?"

"Let’s get to our stage first and take some looks around before we decide who’s gonna be the lucky one."
"Sure.", she shrugged again, though this time not as bored as before, and already started to follow Emily to the part of the job where they might find things like that. If there wasn't just so much that was drawing her attention as well...
When they got everything the needed and already headed towards the exit of the shop, Emily was turning around to her one more time. This time with a question Coco hadn't actually expected.
"Hey, just one thing. Did you know that I wanted to join the Tri Wizard Tournament as well?" Well, no?, she only thought to herself. She really didn't mean to get this girl down with any more of Coco-bitchiness, and so she kept this to herself for once. "I mean, you know I won’t be your opponent. But – and that’s what I wanted to know – why do you wanna be a part of it?"
"Oh gosh, I don't.", she almost interrupted before adding matter-of-factly: "I've lost a bet. My only motivation to not commit suicide is Cami." And that might be the truth. Coco could imagine a million ways to die that she would choose over becoming the patty in a dragon's grilled-cheese sandwich, or whatever else would be awaiting them.

Actually he was a little surprised that Coco didn’t take the chance to give him a chilly answer. He inwardly thanked her for that. But when she opened her mouth again he couldn’t really believe what he heard out of it. "Oh gosh, I don't." "I've lost a bet. My only motivation to not commit suicide is Cami." First he just starred at her, not sure what to think or say. Second he… continued to stare at her while his facial expressions went somewhere beyond disbelief. And then suddenly he laughed out loud. "You serious?", he asked still giggling. "I mean, hey, co’mon – you’re kiddin‘ me, right?!" He got hold of himself and shook his head. "You know what? I like ya'! You’re a strange girl but a very cool one. What about having a butterbeer while forging out plans?" He didn’t really noticed that he might get a bit too flirty now.

Coco was pretty much used to being stared at, same as she was good at ignoring it, right now even busying herself with reading over the labeling of what they just had bought until Emily spoke up again.
"You serious?" Coco gave her a matter-of-factly nod to that, seemingly irritated why someone would question that she had been serious about this. "I mean, hey, co’mon – you’re kiddin‘ me, right?!"
She sighed slightly annoyed, but before she could have said anything, Emily went on - actually with a statement that she hadn't heard quite often, or at least not in combination with that strange girl part.
"You know what? I like ya'! You’re a strange girl but a very cool one."
"Uh... thanks I guess?" Coco replied, obviously not used to compliments - if that had even been one. Her showing of feeling awkward, though, came off rather dismissive than embarrassed. But that was just her nature.
"What about having a butterbeer while forging out plans?"
Yeah, that would be something more to her liking than getting compliments or socializing in general. Forging out plans was, strictly spoken, socializing as well, but that was okay as it would be different from this regular getting-to-know-each-other-via-conversation-shit.
"Sounds good," she replied with a slight grin before turning towards the door and leading them outside.
