Ryder realized this little one had no idea what went down before the fight. Of course she would blame Jax for not keeping his mouth shut, of course it would be Jax's fault. Of course Leo was just an innocent bystander. He realized there was going to be no fighting this. "Tell you what, when Leo is talking again, go talk to him. Find out what he never told you. You'll be surprised to find that he had secrets of his own."

The girl, who he still couldn't remember for sure what her name was, shocked him and sent him staight to the floor. Simone...Simone something. Yeah that's her name. Before he could verbally acknowledge what happened she lurched a striking hex at him and knocked him back. He had to admit, that hurt. His jaw felt ripped off. But he wasn't unprepared. He reached into his pocked and pulled out his wand. He made her think he was still in pain so she couldn't see what he was doing. She walked closer to him and at the perfect opportunity he flashed his wand and yelled "Petrificus Totalus!" He body fell to the floor. She was frozen.

He crawled over to her and sat next to her. He really didn't know what to say. And it wasn't as though she could say anything back. "We can do this with fight with spells or we can battle it out on the floor. But I do have to say...you look a lot better like this. Unable to move...unable to speak..." he brushed a little bit of her hair off her face, "...I could just roll you off to the side and do my thing. Of course then, maybe you would learn something."
