The smile Astrid was now using made Selena feel wary. She knew the look, and knew what it usually entailed - going along with something that the younger girl thought needed to happen. It didn't help Astrid's case that she had already said what she was going to do. "You're channeling your dad, you realize.." She sighed and shook her head, realizing that was probably the point of it.
"Blast it, you know how to get me every time. Fine, I'll go along with your evil little plan. I should be mad." In spite of her last comment, she wasn't mad. Resigned, yes..it just seemed to come with the territory that Astrid could get her to go along with anything, just like Sirius had almost always been able to do the same with Remus.

She wouldn't be the first person to point it out to the youngest Black. "I can't help it, we sort of have the same genes and all." She shrugged, giving her a sheepish grin. "Besides, when it's over and you're uber popular, you'll thank me." She nodded seriously, and it was hard to tell if she really believed what she was saying or not.
She grinned and nearly tackled the other girl in Padfoot-esque fashion, wrapping her arms around her and squeezing. "You're so easy!" She laughed.

"Yeah, I know you have the same genes, but you're pulling it off better than your brothers can." Selena had spent a lot of time around all three, and the boys both had their own unique ways that would differentiate them from Sirius' carbon copies. Astrid, on the other hand..same stubborn streak, same method of getting what she wanted. "You're optimistic about it, aren't you?" She nearly laughed, keeping her rather reserved opinion to herself.
Blinking in surprise at the enthusiasm with which the other girl 'tackled' her, she stared for a few seconds. "I've been told..you're like my dad, I'm like mine. I think that's self explanatory." She gave a hint of an amused smile and patted Astrid's back, doing so as that was about the best return gesture she could manage.

Astrid wrinkled her nose. "I don't think I do. Jared can channel dad pretty damn well." Astrid didn't see the resemblance so much, other than the same love of mischief. Her father was so easy going and laid back, while Astrid worried about everything.
"Of course I'm optimistic- even your dad has a lot of friends. Nobody can resist uncle Remy." She shrugged then smirked. "Well, we are the next generation of Marauders, though I know that Shawn definitely acts more like your mum."

"I can see some of it in Jared, but just not the same way as I can with you. You do live with him, though." While Selena did spend a lot of time hanging around Grimmauld Place, she was usually sticking around either Astrid or Madison - Shawn was the one that always hung around the twins. "And incidentally, I don't see how you put up with both of them."
"Yeah, well, dad is..dad." Never able to explain it better than that, she left the point alone. "And I know Shawn's like mum, more than I am. I'm just a..mix or something." Reminded of how long it had actually been since they had had a chance to sit down and talk, her face suddenly lit up. "Oh, he's going to try out for his house team this year. He's only told me so far, but he made his mind up about it."

Astrid shrugged, then laughed. "The key is to avoid them. They can't be annoying if they can't find you."
"Really?" Astrid blinked, looking surprised. She couldn't really see Shawn playing Quidditch on a team, though she knew he played with her brothers when they were home on break. "What took him so long? Better yet, why all the secrecy?"

"I might normally say easier said than done, but I guess there has to be a lot of hiding places in this house, especially if you take the time to find them." She glanced around the sitting room, noting that with the dark decor, one would have little trouble blending into shadows if they put just a little effort into it.
"Well.." Pausing, she considered the question. "Mum's got this thing about quidditch now. Neither of us knows what it's about, but he hasn't mentioned it at home yet because of that. And it took him so long because he's just able to try out this year. First years can't get on the house teams."
