joshua dalton was bored. this was, of course, the worst way to spend the day, because you struggled to find anything to entertain yourself when you were so mind numbingly bored, because very little things gained your interest. one thing that was on his mind was currently also making him lose it. his impending doom. sorry, did he say doom? he meant marriage. yes. joshua dalton was forcibly engaged, and he did not like it one little bit. at least he'd found out who he was spending the rest of his doomed life with, that was a big improvement on last week. or, well, kind of, if you could call it that, because he didn't like his future 'life' partner either. not that he felt like he'd have much of a life from then on. that would suck.it'd be all house stuff, decorating, arguing over what colour their bedroom should be, and that would be bad because they'd both probably chose to oppose each other in every choice. and then there's what would have to happen in the bedroom. ergh. he never thought that the thought of sex would be one that he didn't like. but jaslene malfoy was not on the top of his 'to do' list. so to speak. and like a spoilt child, he could assure everyone that she would never ever in a million years, reach number one on that list.

instead of going around and informing everyone of this fact though, he was instead wandering the halls and grounds for hours. it was a saturday, and this was not how a dalton spent saturday. they were usually sociable, inserting themselves into whatever was going on that wasn't boring, and making the most of it. but joshua here, was too occupied with what was going on in his own life to hear people whine about their little melodramas, when he had bigger problems of his own. like getting out of this marriage. he wondered if his sister knew about this yet. she was his twin, but he'd found it difficult to articulate to her how annoyed and upset he was that their parents were doing this to him. he had yet to find the words to tell her, although being beth she'd probably heard it from somewhere. she was smart, and always knew what was going down and where it would be happening, so to speak. maybe he should try finding her. strike while the iron is hot or whatever. or maybe he'd run into someone else that would make his day increasingly less boring. after his feet carried him in a helpless loop of the dungeon tunnels once more, he headed back the now-familiar route toward the slytherin common room.

at first, in coming to the castle, that was his biggest problem, as he really didn't want to be there. at home, the daltons were left much to their own devices when they wanted to be because their parents had work of their own to be getting on with. they had servants to make sure that they got exactly what they wanted, when they wanted it, and they never wanted for anything. apart from the incident where joshua had wanted for a very specific type of toffee, and had been brought a different type instead, thus leading to their parents magnificent four poster bed being set on fire by his wand. hey, a dalton gets what a dalton wants, or else, right? not to worry, he was feeling a lot better being around the castle, so there were no plans to set any sort of bed on fire. yet at least. josh entered the common room the way that slytherin's only know how, and cast a look around the common room, looking out for anyone who could help him save his sanity. he was not ready to be married, that was obvious, and apparently his parents failed to see this. which didn't surprise him really, and he wasn't looking forward to this happening to his sisters either, or his cousins. what if the dalton adults had plans for all the dalton kids like this one. oh no, it was not going to work. he would not let that happen. dalton kids get what they want, in the end.

He was however now up, only just, and ready to go, again only just. He wasn't exactly sure what time or day it was but he was fairly sure he didn't have lessons, if he did he'd just have to get told off and catch up later. Chris sat on the edge of his bed, fully dressed and ready but unsure what he was actually ready for, maybe he could go an annoy Jas or go hit on some girl, it had been a while since he'd made out with a girl, he was beginning to think maybe there was something wrong with his head, recently he'd just not felt the desire for a simple meaningless fling. Eventually he decided to just have some fun and cause some chaos, by chaos he meant just annoy somebody, anyone, it didn't have to be anybody is particular just somebody who would make everything not boring. Chris stood up and started to make his way down to the common room wandering who he could mess with. He enjoyed screwing with people, it was fun and it helped make him feel at home, he and his dad would always play pranks on each another and try to annoy the other, it was fun. Unlucky for Josh he was the first person Chris saw, Ah, a new kid Chris thought smirking to himself, he'd heard their names but honestly how the hell was he supposed to remember any of their names the size of their family was like at least a quarter the size of his, so pretty huge. "Hey new kid, What the hell are you doing!?" Chris stated walking over to him, making out like Josh was doing something wrong when really he wasn't.

he heard a voice pierce the quiet buzz of chatter in the common room that was emanating from one of the corners and he raised an eyebrow and turned toward the source of the new noise. and it was that, a noise. what he'd said made no sense and therefore had no real meaning. josh wasn't doing anything other than looking around the common room for someone to save his sanity. if he had any sanity left to save by now. his parents didn't seem to have any to pass on. after all, they'd decided that it was a great idea to get their seventeen year old son into hogwarts, and then right into an arranged marriage. they'd gone from having him home schooled to changing his life. they expected him to make leaps and bounds if they asked him to. but hey, what was he saying, they weren't the type of people to ask, oh no, the dalton adults told the kids what to do and the kids were expected to follow blindly. well he was not going to do this. he was not going to marry jaslene malfoy.

"uh, whatever the hell i want."

[/color] josh replied, rolling his eyes at the cocky kid. did he not know who joshua was? of course, that was a stupid question. everyone knew who he, and his siblings and cousins were. they'd been the talk of the school ever since they'd joined the pupil population. there were so many students here though that it was hard to keep track. josh had absolutely no idea who this idiot was. he raised his eyes in the direction of the guy who'd spoken. "and are you trying to fuck with me? because dude, picked the wrong person."[/color] josh pointed out, smirking. he was the one who played with people's minds. it was a hobby of his, winding people up when he got bored. of course, had he been able to think of any witty wind-ups, it was this hobby that he'd have taken to, but it was impossible to do so when all he could think about was this whole marriage thing.

damn it, it was really taking over his life. "i will admit, you've got balls for trying that with a dalton. what's your name, kid?"[/color] josh asked, wondering with whom he was speaking. it was rare that josh gave props to others for winding people up as he considered himself something of a master. himself and his sister had been working on that and pulling pranks, for instance, hiding his cousin's teddy bear, marvin, or whatever he called it, since they were young. their childhood was pretty awesome, he had to admit. though it wouldn't make up for what they'd have to soon suffer through being an elder dalton child. he felt sorry for whoever beth would be paired with, she was sure to give them hell. joshua was sure she wouldn't be happy with the idea of not getting to pick her own life partner. he wasn't happy, that's for sure. "just to clarify, jaslene malfoy isn't around here, is she?"[/color] josh asked, rather hoping to avoid her as long as he could.[/div]

"Oooooh wrong answer, you just revealed a crap ton about yourself" Chris told him with a smirk, if there was one thing Chris could do that other people just couldn't work out how he'd do it was work people out, he'd always been able to learn about people from the way they speak or act and then twist words and actions back at them. It had annoyed many people in his life but he'd never given a crap. Chris laughed "I'm sure nobody want's to fuck with you" he joked, oh the joy of using words that may have different meanings. "But seriously, if i wanted to mess with you, i could, there's no such thing as 'the wrong person'" he told Josh. Chris was the king of annoying people, he'd been doing it his entire life, his father had practically trained him in the ways of screwing with people and he had yet to meet his match. Josh was no threat to him even if he was on the same level as Chris, Chris had all the Weasley wizard wheezes items at his disposal so if he ever was provoked he could turn nasty pretty quickly, luckily it took a lot to get him that annoyed. "You've got balls for thinking the fact you're a Dalton means a thing to most people here" Chris stated, it didn't mean anything to him, his family didn't get along with the Dalton's anyway and he was thinking a lot of other students wouldn't give a crap about the Dalton name either. "Christopher Weasley" Chris stated holding out his hand for Josh to shake, he may not have exactly been getting along with him yet but it was only polite.

josh rolled his eyes and smirked at chris' last sentence. he was more than skeptical that chris had worked out a lot about josh from that one sentence. all that he could have gotten from that sentence was that he usually got his own way and was used to that, and that was known because he was a dalton anyway, and he could have heard that from some of the giggling girls that had been following him around and remarking upon his good looks for the past week. having a following wasn't something that joshua was used to being in that secluded castle, and although at first it was pretty awesome to know you were hot enough to have a gang of girls stalk you, they didn't half start to grate on your nerves when they started getting in the way of what you wanted to do. and to be fair, in his present state of mind, the one thing he didn't want to do was those very girls.

in fact, all josh did want was for the ground to swallow him whole. you see, joshua dalton usually got what he wanted, but that trail of luck seemed to have run dry the second that his parents were adamantly putting him in an arranged marriage with miss malfoy. hopefully, 'miss malfoy' was exactly what she would stay, as joshua was defiantly trying to find a way out of it. he was not going to let his parents stick him in his first proper relationship when he didn't even like her. he wanted a chance to find someone that he knew he could care about, care for, and love. but they weren't even giving him the chance and he hated that, all he had to do was make them listen to reason for a few hours, and convince them to let him have his own choice in wife. if he had to marry someone, the least they could have done was come up with some options and let him chat to them first, before making his own choice. but did he get that? no way. "that is complete bollox"

[/color] josh replied, both to chris and to the thoughts in his head.

"well then you've got balls for not letting it mean a thing to you"[/color] josh said with a shrug. his parents didn't like their influence being ignored. and they did have influence. they had their fingers in all the different jam pots, or whatever the saying was. "there most definitely is the wrong person. and the wrong time too"[/color] josh pointed out. this was not the time to try and get into josh's head. josh didn't even want to be there, chris was welcome to it. josh shook his hand politely. "good, apparently if i don't get a move on i won't be able to avoid her for much longer"[/color] josh said with a sigh, and motioned to some comfortable looking chairs to see if chris wanted to sit down. no point standing around when there were vacant seats near them.[/div]

"Oh really?, whatever you say sunshine" Chris said with a smirk, he knew exactly whether it was 'bollox' or not but he had games to be played so he wasn't going to just simply reveal all. Where would the fun be in that. "I do have balls.. i imagine most of the guys in this school have balls.. so it actually doesnt mean a thing, you're right, well done". Chris shook his head "It's always the right time, and the right place, and the right person.. the thing that truely matters are the actions and events that happen at that time, in that place and with that person" Chis told him, Chris loved to play the wise person sometimes, even if most of it was just pulled from midair and made up on the spot. Chris shrugged at what Josh had to say and dived onto one of the chairs that he'd motioned too. "I dunno why you want to avoid Jas so much, she's not that bad.. when you get to know her.. sometimes" Chris said scratching the back of his neck, he did love Jas, she was his best friend, since as long as he can remember she'd been there and he knew she'd always be there and he'd be there for her too.

Josh raised his eyebrows at Chris' next expression. Sunshine? What the hell was that? He laughed aloud, shaking his head. "Oh I'm sorry, the seventies is that way"

[/color] Josh joked, pointing out of the common room door. Sunshine. He'd never been called that in his life, and he was pretty sure that it probably hadn't been used in a sentance like that since the seventies, and seeing as it was now 2020, Chris was a little out of date. "You imagine? Do you think about mens balls often? Is this something that you've thought about for a while? Because if so, I might have some news for you"[/color] Josh pointed out, smirking. He couldn't help it, Chris walked right into that one and it had to be said.

"I didn't know that Hogwarts taught a philosophy class, or that they hired short and pre-pubescent teenagers"[/color] Josh laughed, smirking once more. The smirk was his signature look when the comebacks were flowing as freely as they were today. He was in a terrible mood with the whole marriage news thing, and this was cheering him right up. That was until, Joshua heard what Chris said next, and he heaved a sigh. "I want to avoid her so much for as long as I can, because if my parents have their way, I'll never be able to avoid her again, as she'll be my wife"[/color] Josh stated, running his hands through his hair in exhasperation. He'd had enough of this. He was going to write a letter to his father explaining exactly how they'd all gone mad if they thought he'd be doing this. Well, he'd write it later.. Maybe. Maybe that wasn't the best idea. Oh Josh had no idea how he was getting out of this.

And that was the most annoying thing. His choices were being made for him, without any of his input whatsoever, and Joshua was running out of ideas to escape this whole thing. He could refuse to marry her, but his parents could easily force him using magic. It wouldn't be the first time that he'd be subject to their spells. And plus they held the purse strings, and until he was out of Hogwarts and in work, he had absolutely no income other than from his parents, so if he fucked up and they cut him off, he'd be completely screwed. Hogwarts didn't let you stay there through all their Holidays, and he'd had enough of being stuck within the grounds and within the castle. Now he had to decide what would be worse, being homeless if he couldn't get a job with no wife, or being married to someone who he didn't know or didn't chose to spend his life with, and having plenty of money. This was not good. "So yeah I'd appreciate it if you could warn me if she walks in."[/color] Josh pointed out, hoping Chris would help him out.[/div]

"Well i dont know they have balls for a fact, i dont go looking at them like you.. but no i dont think about them often.. i dont even think about my own that much, this is getting weird so i'm going to change the subject, do you like quidditch?". Chris figured guiding the conversation away from balls was a good idea. "Theres no class, Just Chris' tutoring survice. That'd be 5 galleons please" Chris stated with his palm out as if actually expecting Josh to give him money, he was just joking but then there was that tiny voice in his head telling him that Josh was infact rich and probably didnt have much experience with social situations, he then realised he was about to try and con someone who he would be living with so quickly let his hand fall to his side. Chris took a while to process what Josh was telling him. "WHAT!?" he yelled, pretty much overreacting instantly. His mind then went blank and his mouth hung open for a while always on the verge of saying something but never letting it out. He then closed his mouth and watched Josh carefully, his mind actually for once in his life completely blank of something witty to say.

Josh raised his eyebrows. It had been years since the 70's and Josh doubted that Chris knew anything about it really, it was just a terrible coincidence that he'd said something that came right out of it. "Sunshine" was something that the policemen called the criminals that they were questioning or something right? Well, that was according to Josh's research, which was basically watching some shows based on the 70's Police force, on the TV that his parents had purchased for them from Borgin & Burkes a few years ago to keep them quiet and entertained during their free time. Otherwise, if not entertained, Joshua had the habit of, let's say, setting their bed on fire, for instance. Yep, well, technically that was because he didn't get the sweets he wanted. They bought him the wrong type of fudge, what else was he supposed to do?! "Please don't, there's a reason that died out in the first place."

[/color] Josh replied, rolling his eyes. Sunshine was such a terrible nickname, especially when said in that tone. "Yeah, I've had enough of that, that's pretty weird. Of course I like Quidditch! I'm pretty pissed that I didn't get a chance to try out for the team. Not that I'd get to be on it for long but still. You?"[/color] Josh asked, glad for the change of subject as the one that they were talking about was getting pretty weird.

"Pass thanks, I don't think that piece of advice was worth five galleons, especially coming from the guy who wants to bring 'sunshine' back from the seventies."[/color] Josh replied, waving away Chris' hand. Sure, Joshua had more than enough money to shell five galleons out here and there for crap all if he wanted to, and if his parents continued to treat him like their slave and make all his life decisions he would be sorely tempted to take as much of that money as he could get away with and fly to Vegas and lose it all in several different casinos. Maybe Chris could come along and keep him company. Josh saw Chris hand fall and smirked. So he did have some sense then. That was good, seeing as Joshua would be stuck living with him and there was no reason to make things awkward for that time. Not that it would be much longer, he was only here for a few more months and then he was free to leave, and pursue whatever career he saw fit. Apparently though he wasn't free to pursue whatever women that he saw fit, in his parents eyes at least. He huffed at this thought, angry with his parents once more for attempting to control his future. This would also probably be the fate of every other Dalton child when they became an appropriate age, and none of them would like it, surely. They were Dalton's after all, not doormats.

Joshua had been left pretty speechless on learning the name of his wife too. "So now you shut up? Great. My parents have gotten it into their head that I should marry Jaslene Malfoy and make tons of perfect little children with her or something. Sorry, but that wasn't a part of my life plan."[/color] Josh stated, sighing and picking a chair to slide down onto.

"I've been the Slytherin Beater for ages now, i'm the best at what i do and what i do aint pretty" he told Josh rather proud of himself, he had put many people in the hospital wing in the past, and he was proud of it, he wasn't mean though, he'd always visit his victims to make sure he hadn't caused too much damage and to give his apologies if he had. "Cant blame a guy for trying" Chris said with a small shrug, money would be nice but hell he didn't mind not having money, he didn't need money to be happy in fact he was happy already he didn't need anything else. Chris eventually got his act together but still was unsure what to say "But... she's really out of your league" he spoke, not really thinking it through and knowing there was probably tons of other better things he could have said in its place.
