Closed Definitely Not An Ambush

[Artemisa Raven]

If there was something Artemisa loved, it was a challenge. The Gryffindor had never been one to back down from one and her twin that was currently walking alongside her didn't just wholeheartedly support her. As a matter of fact, she and Coco revelled in challenges. And mysteries. One should never forget mysteries. They were wildly entertaining and just enough to bring excitement into the world. Of course, one such mystery was a boy that had completely taken her not-cousin's attention. Roxas. It was very interesting to Misa that during their second year, Corey, her not-cousin-but-might-as-well-be, had stopped approaching them - all of them! - for help with his schoolwork. It wasn't Artemisa really that found it quite perplexing. Her twin, Felicita, had too. And even Jai did! Of course, the three of them had been rather focused on trying to get Tiziano on top of his schoolwork - not a 100% successful endeavour but he was passing and they were all quite satisfied with that - that it took a while to notice that Corey had not come to them for help in a while. And when they did broach the subject, the boy was actually managing his schoolwork to a degree! Apparently because of this Roxas-person!​

​

It took a while to figure who this Roxas was. While she and Coco had kept an eye out and had managed to see him and Corey hanging out, it was quite the trouble to approach said boy. Especially since said boy apparently had identical siblings. And when it was the actual Roxas, it was hard to stage an ambush with Corey around. Thank Merlin that when school started around this year that Corey was seen less and less with this person. Which was weird of course and left Misa and Feli quite worried since why was their not-cousin now frequently alone! Well that just won't do! According to Corey, Roxas was busy with classes - which was a poor excuse if Misa ever heard one but of course poor, innocent Corey would not know any better. Which led to the current situation of Misa waiting - prowling - the Entrance Hall along with her twin, both of them dressed in the other's uniform as were their plans for the day. Spotting their target, Misa gave a signal to her twin before proceeding to block the Hufflepuff's path, Felicita blocking off the path directly behind their prey. Roxas was definitely not escaping them today. "Hello Roxas, pleasant to meet you," she said with a wide grin.​

 

[Roxas Mckenna]

Things always seemed to have a way of happening to Roxas and yet he never expected it. Pretty much since he was born he had to worry about that random bad luck he had that told the universe that he absolutely needed to be faced with an issue or a problem. He could only assume it had gotten worse as he’d gotten older or something because there just always seemed to be something.​

​

It had started with his brothers and the way that they treated him which definitely wasn’t the most fun experience for him - he loved his brothers of course but when he had to dodge them so often it was more of an annoyance than a fun game. He’d been happy when he’d been sorted into a different house because it meant he could be away from them more often. Of course then he’d met Corey and things had gone weird again. It wasn’t Corey’s fault that he was trying to avoid him either, but he couldn’t focus properly whenever his friend was around and it was like something was pulling him around rather than him having any control over his own decisions.​

​

Either way, the thirteen year old wasn’t prepared, but wasn’t surprised when he was suddenly cornered in the entrance hall by a pair of twins he knew more about than he probably should have. He’d made something of a habit of getting to know the members of certain families - though he knew most of it from Kalif and Rai than anything else. He wasn’t sure why they wanted to corner him, or even if he should be worried about it, but he simply slumped and sighed. What else was he going to do but let them talk out whatever they had an issue with? “Uh.. hi?”​

​

He wasn’t sure what was happening really, just that he was cornered on both sides by the same face. The Ravenclaw in front of him was almost leering at him and he had to repress the urge to slink away. “What do you want though?” Because they hadn’t made that very clear.​

 

[Felicita Raven]

If there was something that Feli knew she was best at, it was figuring things out. It had always been clear that between her and Artemisa, she was the one who could figure things out by speculating or observing. Chia had always been the doer between them. It was probably why she had ended up in Ravenclaw and her twin in Gryffindor. This figuring out thing didn't even stop at just Potions. It included Herbology, Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, and all those other classes. It also helped with people, like how poor Soro - otherwise known as Jai - was just so awkward with people, likely with Uncle Liam's influence, that he just couldn't make any friends. Or how she and Chia had a tendency to drive people away because they were so close and it was just weird to have other people truly close to them aside from their siblings and Corey. What she couldn't figure out was Corey and Roxas. Specifically, their relation.​

​

Felicita had known Corey for a long time. He was the cousin liked but didn't have and so was deemed an honorary cousin anyway. Not that Auntie Taylor or Uncle Conan seemed to mind. Nor did Auntie Ai or Uncle Liam. And well, she didn't really care what Mum or Dad or Sergei thought. Corey was their cousin. Yukiko and the rest can be arguable since they came later on. Corey, however, was definitely theirs. So, it was quite surprising when Corey was not so quite theirs anymore and was becoming quite preoccupied with a boy named Roxas. A boy that Corey had not even introduced to them! It was an outrage! And so, she didn't even think twice about Chia's plan to ambush the said younger boy in order to find out more about this Roxas. Which led to the current situation. "Well, we want to be the your new best friends of course!" Feli exclaimed, a grin matching Artemisa's plastered on her face. "It'll be fun! I'm Felicita. And that right there is Artemisa. We're really pleased to finally meet you."​
