NEWTs were obviously harder and she struggled to get 5 OWLs.
Rolling her eyes, she really wanted to disgree with what Chris just said, but she couldn't. "You guys do have it, hey..." Before she could finish her sentence, Chris had pulled out his wand and non-verbally casted warm air out of his wand and towards her. The air did get the blush off of her, but it also caused some of the particles of the blush to just float in the air. She blew the particles away from her face, then said, "Thanks." Her robes were now clean. That was good.
"Very lucky," she smiled. She finished washing her plastic red heart ring, then she wiped it off on her robes. There. Now it didn't have blush all over it. Placing the ring back on her hand, she looked up at Chris. "It's a, umm..." What had she told Torin it was? "Pre-engagement," she answered. "I think that's what you call it." It definitely wasn't a true engagement ring, but it was close to it!
Hearing the bathroom door open, she turned around to see Raiden enter the room, but he didn't stay long. She gave him a wave before the boy left after washing his hands. Her brown eyes looked over at the brown bag he left before turning back to Chris. That obviously wasn't for her or Chris considering it said 'Celandine' on it.
Chris just shook his head with a chuckle as he turned back to the sink to check and make sure there wasn't in his teeth from lunch. There was no point in persuading Reese that she was going to do well on her NEWTS, he knew she would. He just had no chance winning the conversation, she was so much more stubborn than he was.
The Gryffindor coughed a little as the make-up flew into the air much more than he had expected, when the cloud cleared he spoke up.
"You're welcome, but I have no clue how you all survive with that stuff on your faces all day." he laughed checking in the mirror to make sure none of the wretched stuff landed on his face.
He then turned his attention back to the ring she had cleaned off.
"A what?!" he blinked a few more times and when he could talk again he broke into a huge grin and gave her a quick hug.
"You and Jack?! Well duh you and Jack but...Wow! Im so happy for you guys! I knew you would." he said grinning still shaking his head confidently. He looked around the bathroom as a few of the other Prefects began to trickle in. He didn't know how much people Reese was wanting to tell so he whispered to her.
"How long ago was it?"
He tried to hide his excitement as he turned to see Reese's fellow Prefect Raiden walk in and join them by the sinks. Chris smiled and waved to him, but it was easy to hide his grin, Raiden seemed...strange. Chris watched out of the corner of his eye as he washed his hands again. Raiden left as soon as he had gotten there, and left a bag.
Chris would have been oblivious to the paper bag, except for the fact that Reese was staring at it.
"Wonder what that's for?" he walked closer to it on the side of it the word, 'Celandine' was printed out. Hmmm... he walked closer.

Academic Probation. Letter to her parents. Copernicus. Vouchers. Hogshead. Raiden. New nephew. Missing Plymmy. Bad Prefect.
So many thoughts were whirring through her head that Cela barely even saw her own name written on a... paper bag? What was that? She opened it and then, upon realising, she let out a choked little noise.
Apparently she'd been totally successful since Raiden's crush on her was very much replaced by something far more negative. Something she'd never actually had experience with.
He hated her?
Cela blinked, her face going all blank and she took each bottle out, one at a time, flipped the tops and squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezed the contents of the shampoos and stuff down the sink, her expression dull and intent on what she was doing.
Suddenly the door opened again and in walked a less bubbly version of Cela. He rushed back over to the sinks with Cat and smiled and greated Cela as she too joined them at a sink, with the mysterious bag.
As she pulled out the contents Chris raised up on his tip-toes inconspicuously to see what it was. So he was nosey, sue him. Shampoo? Body wash?
Booorrrrriiiinnnnnngggg.
Chris turned back to his sink and bag of toiletries. Cela must have been about to bathe or something. But then out of his mirror he saw her start to squeeze it down the sink. Wait that was men's stuff. He waited a second and then decided to question her.
"Hey Cela, you ok? What'cha doing there?" Man that stuff was nice, definately work a galleon at least.
