Bad Luck: Bubblegum Dreams

[Georgina Speer]

George sat on her bed, impatiently bouncing her leg up and down, head on her hand. She had a huge assignment to do, and nothing was coming to mind as to what to write about. Her anxiety made She leaned down, under the bed and pulled out a drawstring bag, and with it came the rustle of sweet wrappers. It was the bag she filled with gummy bears, the occasional chocolate bar, and millions of packets of gum. She pulled the top open and felt through the pile of wrappers that had built up on top of the bag. She couldn't be bothered to empty the crap out until everything was eaten. She reached to the bottom, and... a single gummy bear. That was it. She pulled it out. It was orange flavoured. She let out an agitated groan, but still ate the sweet. The orange ones were always the worst. But she smiled once she realized something else.

It was time to restock.

She grabbed the bag that hung off of her bedpost and pulled out her purse, putting it into the drawstring bag, which she swung over her back and left the room to collect her goodies.

About half an hour and a full bag of sweets later, George returned, happily chewing on her favourite flavour of bubblegum, raspberry. She was walking through the courtyard, and she began to blow a huge bubble, when a gust of wind came rushing through the area and when it popped, it covered her face and hair. At first, she tried to laugh it off, peeling the gum off of her face and walking towards the exit, but once she discovered it was in her hair, it all went downhill. She took her hat off and, luckily, it hadn't come into contact with any of the sticky substance. She sat on a nearby bench and placed the hat next to her, taking off and placing her bag of sugar inside of it so it didn't fly away; she couldn't afford for anything else to go badly today.

She felt around her hair and tried to take the gum out with her hands, but the wind had caused it to dry slightly. She made a grunt of anger and annoyance, continuing to chew on the gum that she had managed to salvage. After a few more frustrating minutes of attempting de-gum her hair, she dropped her arms with a huff of exasperation. She sighed; maybe it was time for a haircut?

Dawn hummed happily to herself, finally she was alone in the courtyard. There was nothing to do but bask in the almost cold weather with...scissors. There was absolutely no reason that she had them, she was just wanting them to fiddle around with. She smiled and hummed For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert in her mind, that had to be the sexiest song she ever heard, who cared that it was not new anymore?

At first she didn't hear anyone but then she heard a slight popping sound coming with a slight giggle. Out of frustration, and thinking it was some annoying pick, she sat up from her laying down position and fiddled with the scissors while watching a girl get rid of gum off her face. Dawn chuckled at it, this was awesome!! She was getting more amused by the minute! First she watched her take the hat off and tug at her hair, then she laughed. She really couldn't help it..really.

She sighed and stood up as she saw the girl stand up...how about giving the girl a haircut...just a small one! Dawn sighed with a smirk on her face and sat down by the girl in pure amusement. "Hello there..." She then looked at her scissors and back at the girl with a smirk on her face. "Need help?"

[Georgina Speer]

She continued to tug uselessly on her hair until...

"Hello there..." She turned to the red-head that had sat next to George. Oddly enough, she had a pair of scissors in hand and a smile on her face. George couldn't help but smirk a little, she had just been joking when she thought about having a haircut, but it was either that, or spend hours brushing and/or washing her hair, which she honestly couldn't be bothered to do. Maybe this was a sign or some shit? "Hey." She tried her best at a friendly greeting to get the girl on her side, so that she wouldn't lose all of her hair if she did let the girl cut it off in the end.

"Need help?" She let her smile grow a little more. As if it wasn't already obvious that she was in a pickle. "Yea, but don't cut off my ears. They won't grow back." She turned so her back was towards the girl and her legs were on either side of the bench, and she laid all of her hair down her back. "I'm guessing you're not a professional hairdresser or anything, but I don't care. Just... do what needs to be done, please." That was the kind of person George was. She would trust a stranger to cut her hair after knowing them for less than a minute. But, she figured that if you didn't have fun in life, then what was the point? And the girl couldn't permanently ruin her hair or something anyway, it could always grow back.

Dawn smiled even wider as she saw the girl was trying to get her on her side, as if that would work. Sure there were...who was she kidding she was getting on everyone's annoying side. Her smile almost faltered at that realization before she smiled again and lifted the scissors and snipping at the air with a smirk on her face.

As the girl turned around Dawn couldn't help but notice how pretty the hair was, she still almost chuckled anyway. She knew that peanut butter and water helped get bubble gum out of hair, but this would not be as fun, besides she didn't have any peanut butter. That thought made her smirk even more as she fiddled with the girl's hair. Wow soft too? Pay attention Dawn!! Show her your nonchalant side...

Dawn found the hair that was connected to the gum and slowly made her way to the top of gum, that way the girl didn't have all of her hair gone. She then chuckled without saying sorry, she didn't see the need. She then smiled and cut it off, there no more worrying over spilled milk. She sighed and smiled while looking at her now cut hair. "There you go..."

[Georgina Speer]

She felt the girl play with her hair a little. There were obviously other ways to solve the problem, but- she felt the scissors slice through the first chunk of her hair, then the next, and the next, until she felt a slight weight fall off of her. She reached a hand back to feel her "new" hair; the girl had done a good job, it pretty straight. She liked it. George turned back around, "Hey, thanks a lot." She took her bag of sweets off of her hat and placed it on her head, "Feels as good as new!" She said, with a grin and a wink.

She looked at the bench and around it, where the gum-filled hair sat around, "The caretaker isn't gonna like me for leaving that behind." She grimaced jokingly, brushed the hair off that was near het and held out a hand to the girl, "I'm George, by the way. Pleasure to meet you." She winked again. Maybe she should thank that girl, whoever she was. She did have all of those sweets in her bag. She could ask he if she wanted a gummy bear or some Maltesers once she learned her name.

[Deleted]

Dawn smirked as she saw her feel her hair. She wasn't expecting the girl to like it, but she still wasn't upset. At least she was learning how to be...kind of nice. She likes it?!...Okay. She shrugged her shoulder as her face became poker faced. She really didn't know what to do with the hair by her so she just slid it on the ground, the care taker could pick it up.

She smirked at George once she learned her name. She never heard of that before, but it did remind her of her home state of Georgia. "Well hi George. I am from Georgia and I am Dawn. Pleasure to make your acquaintance as well." She smirked as she stated where she was from. George was actually the first person she told that to, at least that she could remember.

[Georgina Speer]

She smiled at Dawn, "Hi! Look, I know I could've solved that... situation in another way, but that would've been boring, having to rub something into my hair. I'll see how it looks later when I find a mirror, but since you're here, and I want to thank you..." She turned, grabbed her drawstring bag, placed it on her lap, pulled it open and signaled to the insides of the bag, "...take what you want!" There was quite a variety in there, and George was a master at fitting lots in small spaces, like Hermione and her bag, except George's bag didn't extend on like the TARDIS did, if you know what that means.

Anyway, she was offering up the whole contents of her bag. She hoped that the girl wasn't a fan of gummy bears or pear drops, although those Milka and Daim bars seemed quite delicious... George licked her lips and quickly pulled out the jar of pear drops, unscrewed the top and popped one in her mouth. Pear drops were her absolute FAVOURITE. No-one would would be getting them anytime soon. "So..." she popped in another pear drop and, showing some self restraint, put the jar back in her bag. At least these sweets couldn't fly into her hair and stick it together, "... what brings you to the courtyard with scissors, dear Dawn from Georgia?" She smirked and sucked on the delicious drops. MMM, she was in heaven!

[Deleted]

She wants to thank me? Oh no! Please don't be something stupid like a teddy bear just because I look young! Dawn slightly grimaced as she saw George pull out a bag and open it up. Her jaw almost dropped to see what was inside. This girl could have all the gummy junk she wanted. Dawn giggled and took the Milka and Daim and Maltesers out. 

She didn't care that she had no idea what these two things were because they had chocolate and that was all that mattered. She opened the Maltesers out since they looked like Woppers, could have been, and popped a few in her mouth. " Meh...just for peace and quiet. You?" She smirked knowing the answer was probably the bubblegum.

[Georgina Speer]

She watched Dawn pull out the Milka... and the Milka Daim... and the Maltesers- DAMN IT. She was looking forward to binging on all of the chocolate later whilst playing Pokemon X or something! She suppressed the idea of snatching back her beloved creamy treats and running away screaming: "MY PRECIOUS!" in a Golem-like voice as she scurried through the halls. She had to be kind of grateful, and being mean wasn't being nice or grateful. She sighed inwardly a little, but smiled too when she saw the look on the red-head's face; she obviously enjoyed her chocolate.

George grabbed her bag of sweets and shook it gently, "I needed a refill. I just happened to be walking through here when the world decided to turn against me and... well, you know the rest already!" George sent a wink her way as she tugged on the bag's ropes sharply to close it. She swung it on her back and stood up abruptly, "Well, it was nice meeting you and everything, but I do believe I have to get going." She looked up at the sky and felt another gust of wind, making her shiver. It was probably a good time to get inside.

[Deleted]

She saw the look on George's face as she ate the chocolate. Dawn almost smirked at the expression. She didn't care if George wanted the chocolate, it was her chocolate now, there was no way she was giving it back! In plus, she loved upsetting people every now and then.

She watched George get up and stayed sitting down. It was cold, but she was going to probably finish her chocolate before she went in. "Kay..." She smiled and waved not really missing the girl. She didn't know her, the only reason she helped was because...wait she gave Dawn the chocolate! She sighed and smiled in somewhat annoyance, no way was she saying it...no way. "Bye.."
