Ethan strolled into the kitchen about ten minutes after midnight. A whole slew of house elves surrounded him, and was demanding to know what he wanted.
"coffee, black." Ethan said simply. He knew he shouldn't drink coffee this late at night, but he couldn't sleep anyways, so who cared if he had a caffeine rush this late at night.
Ethan sat down at one of the tables, and knew from where it would be positioned in the great hall that it was the Hufflepuff table. The house elves brought him his coffee and Ethan sat sipping his coffee slowly.

Alexis tip-toed into the kitchen to get something with marshmellows in it. Maybe a smore or something. She quietly tickled the pear and walked into the kitchen and asked the elves for some smores.
Alexis had made her way to the normal Ravenclaw table, but saw someone sitting at the Hufflepuff table. Alexis didn't know who he was, but if he was up at this hour, than maybe he couldn't sleep either.
Severla house-elves handed her a big plate filled with smores and Alexis made her way to the boy sitting at the Hufflepuff table.
"Hi. I'm Alexis, could you not sleep either?" Alexis asked as she sat in front of him and started to eat her smores.

Ethan looked up at the girl who sat in front of him. "Nah, I can't sleep, so I thought I would get something to drink. Of course it doesn't help that I'm drinking coffee." Ethan said shrugging.
Ethan looked at the plate of smores and cocked one eyebrow at Alexis. "Smores huh. Maybe me drinking coffee isn't that bad." Ethan said with a soft chuckle.

Alexis laughed. "No, coffee will not help you get to sleep, though neither will these." Alexis said pointing to her plate of smores.
"I haven't really seen you around." Alexis said. "I thought I knew pretty much everyone in my year."

"Meh, I just fly under the radar." Ethan said. His coffee was getting cold, and Ethan thought coffee tasted bad when it was cold so he pushed it to the side, but had no intention of going to bed, he thought this Alexis girl was hot, and wanted to talk to her more.
"So what is keeping you from sleeping tonight?" Ethan asked politely.

"I have been having some strange dreams." Alexis muttered then blushed slightly at having said that without thinking.
"So what do you like to do for fun?" Alexis asked, not really knowing what to say from here. Alexis kept getting a funny feeling that was coming from Ethan, and she couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe it was the way he was looking at her.

Ethan saw Alexis blush and was suddenly wondering what these weird dreams were. "Well I like to play quidditch, I'm on the house team as a beater." Ethan said.
"Do you like to fly? I know your not on a team because I haven't played against you, but do you play at all? Or even fly, or are you one of those people who would rather keep their feet on the ground?" Ethan asked.
"Your in Ravencalw house right?"

"Yes I am in Ravenclaw" Alexis said looking down, and realized she was wearing her pajamas and robe instead of her school robes and tie. "What house are you in?" Alexis asked as she ate another smore.
"I actually love to fly. The thrill of being up in the air is amazing, but I'm not a very good flyer, I usually fly with someone else, usually my boyfriend Tyler."

Boyfriend...that would pose a problem. "I'm a Hufflepuff." Ethan said simply. He liked watching Alexis eat.
"I understand what you mean about the thrill, I get the same feeling every time I get up on a broomstick. If you want I can help you learn to fly better, maybe you can make the team next year." Ethan said.

"Oh, well Tyler is teaching me." Alexis said a little coldly. She didn't really like that this guy was basically asking her out when she just told him she had a boyfriend, but maybe he was just trying to be nice, and didn't mean what she thought it meant.
"So what's your favorite class?"

Ethan head the way Alexis responded to him and felt bad. He didn't mean to sound like he was trying to take over for her boyfriend, so he thought he would take the conversation in safer waters.
"Oh, well I'm really good at Potions. I like Astronomy as well. I think we can learn a lot from the stars. Just the way they continue to shine is just beautiful."

Alexis had to agree with what Ethan said about the stars. Alexis often thought the same things about the stars, they were so beautiful. "Your good at Potions. Me too! I can't write about them though, I can do really well brewing things, but writing about them is just awful!" Alexis said throwing her hands up in the air.
Alexis looked at her watch and gave a small sigh. "Wow it's a lot later than I thought," Alexis said standing up. "it was nice to meet you Ethan."

Ethan thought Alexis looked cute throwing a mini temper tantrum, and was upset about her wanting to leave, but it was getting late.
"Okay, well I'll see you around. If you ever need help with your potions homework you can ask me to help. We should hang out sometime...as friends you know." Ethan said as he threw in the last part.
He would like to be more than friends, but she had a boyfriend, and Ethan wasn't that type of guy to steal some other guys girlfriend.

Alexis paused at the kitchen door. "Well yeah, I'll see you around." Alexis said not wanting to be rude. She didn't mind having guys as friends, but Alexis was worried that Tyler might get the wrong impression.
Alexis gave a small wave and left through the kitchen door.

Ethan smiled at Alexis' wave. He looked into his empty cold cup of coffee and sighed. He knew he should go to bed as well, but a few more minutes of hanging out here wouldn't hurt.
Ethan helped himself to a smore that Alexis had left behind.
