28 ~ Whatever Floats Your Boat

Yes...that gif is Cameron...You're welcome

"Well hello there Gorgeous"

Surprised to hear those words from someone other than Sirius, Eloise looked up from her lunch, only to see a certain Seventh Year Ravenclaw called Cameron Milton, a Seventh Year Ravenclaw that all of the girls had raved about since Eloise had been at Hogwarts.

"As gorgeous as I am, could you refrain from calling me that?" she smirked at her own wit, "It's just, someone else used to and-"

"Say no more" Cameron said, holding up a hand, "how about...Beautiful? Stunning? Breathtaking?" he grinned and Eloise chuckled slightly, "Whatever floats your boat" she told him,

"Don't you mean 'whatever hovers your broom'?" he asked and Eloise turned back to her plate,

"No" she said simply, earning herself a laugh from the the people around her, including Cameron,

"It's a muggle saying" Lily explained from Eloise's side, her face slightly red from the attention of the good-looking Ravenclaw,

"Ooh, exotic...I like it" he flirted, somewhat teasingly as he sat down beside Eloise. She looked up from her plate with a raised eyebrow,

"Exotic? Hardly" she scoffed and the boy shrugged, grabbing a chip from her plate,

"You think?" he asked, but his smile faltered slightly when he saw her thunderous expression, "Why are you looking at me like I shat on your chocolate frog?" he asked,

"I liked you" she said "and then you stole my chip" she said, a face like thunder and the tip of her hair turning scarlett. Cameron looked unfazed and simply smirked at the girl whilst picking up yet another chip,

"I suppose I'll have to make it up to you then, won't I?" he lowered his voice and Eloise couldn't help the red tinge that surfaced on her cheeks. Not giving Cameron the satisfaction of seeing how flustered he made her, she laughed,

"I don't know if you'll be able to Milton, for all you know I could've had an emotional and spiritual connection to the very chip that you're chowing down on right now" Cameron was silent for a moment as he thought over her response,

"You know Beautiful" he said, putting his chin in his hand and studying Eloise, "I don't think I've ever met anybody quite like you"

"Well that's because you haven't met me yet!" James' voice rang through the hall and he took a seat next to Cameron, with Peter and Remus sitting opposite them and a scowling Sirius (much to Lily's annoyance due to having to move over) on the other side of Eloise. Holding out a hand for him to shake, James didn't smile as he spoke to Cameron "James Potter, Marauder, Quidditch Captain, Eloise's older brother and admission" he told him and Cameron took his hand, frowning slightly,

"Admission?" he asked and James nodded towards Eloise,

"If you take a fancy to my sister, you need my seal of approval" he said seriously and Eloise groaned,

"Not to mention mine" Sirius added, "Sirius Black" he said to Cameron, not holding out his hand. The tension was suffocating and Eloise was glaring at James and Sirius whilst they glared at Cameron, Remus, wishing to alleviate some of the obvious discomfort, smiled weakly at Cameron,

"Remus Lupin" he introduced himself, waving slightly, "You'd benefit more if you ignored James and Sirius, the confuse possessiveness with protection"

Cameron looked in between the blatantly jealous Sirius, the overprotective James and the thoroughly embarrassed and annoyed Eloise. He coughed slightly, pulling at the collar of his shirt and Eloise looked away from her brother, and began standing up from the table,
