I was in stitches last night, so I thought I should let people see it, this in the Slythie common room: Quote:

I have further investigations to do, and a class to plan. Which I do hope to see a good deal of you in attendance of. Even if you dislike herbology, or are simply lousy at it, you may as well give it a shot. The best that can happen is that you'll earn house points. The worst, that you won't. But unless you come to class and speak up, there isn't even a chance of Slytherin getting the house cup. And I want to see us win. Is that understood?" He looked around, pointedly ignoring the insinuations of Cassandra and himself. There were rumors aplenty about him already. The last he needed was of him and a student. | Quote:

Cassandra's eyes widened. I want to see us win he said. This made her love the man even more. He was everything Slytherin was, the embodiment of her house. He was perfection on two feet. | Quote:

His pure embodiment of Slytherin-ity. Those billowing robes. Those long legs." He really should stop now, or he was about to get a detention. | Quote:

Slytherin 101 Drama Quote:

Originally Posted by Zellanna "Va bene, Vieni a vedermi dopo questa classe." He squeezed her shoulder lightly and made his way back to the front of the classroom. "Alright then, let's start with the scenario presented earlier. We do slip, we do state opinions which may not be mainstream, and someone will take offense." He looked to Ellie, so, we roleplay. Act as though I have..." He glanced at the rest of his students. "I had better not ever, ever hear that you have done this." He looked back to Ellie. "Pretend I had called someone a mudblood, and respond." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "Can I act like you had kissed a student Professor?" Marco laughed. | Quote:
Originally Posted by SlytherinSistah 'Yo momma's a mudblood!' was the only response that came to Claudian's mind, unfortunately. But he knew that wouldn't do. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna "Depends on how much you would like detention with my wife," Armand replied smoothly to him. "As I am quite certain she will take out the brunt of her frustrations on anyone who makes such an accusation." | Quote:

SKIPPING THE SLYTHERIN STUFF Quote:

Originally Posted by Zellanna Armand smirked, something flashing briefly across his eyes. Whatever it was became masked in amusement. "I sure you do, Marco. Come on up here and say what's on your mind." The way he said it truly challenged the boy. Yes, come up here and lets have a... talk. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster Marco walked to the front. The Professor. Argh. Not going to mention Natasha. Mention Cassandra. Yes mention her. "Here I am Professor. Lets have a...talk." He ran a hand through his hair, ruffling it up, "I have a problem with you. You and Trelawney. You can't have Trelawney and Natasha." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Armand raised a slender brow. He had to be joking. "Per la morte di Merlino, where is this stuff coming from? First Allegra and I, and now me and a student? What next, Ophelia and I?" He ran a hand through his hair in quiet exasperation. "I swear, there is no way to keep some of you from interfering in my love life... or lack thereof." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "I saw you. With my own two eyes. So you can't deny it," Marco spat. His hand was clenched round his wand, in his robe pocket. "How dare you cheat on Natasha? You don't know what you have there." | Quote:
Originally Posted by SeerCassandraTrelawney "What?!?" Cassandra stood up. "Denver, lie like that again and I'll show you my transfiguration skills are far superior than a seventh year!" Cassandra would not tolerate this... if someone started this rumor, he may have to leave her forever... | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "Shut up Trelawney. This is my arguement not yours," Marco was furious now. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna "Saw me? Fascinating. And just what are you speaking of that you saw me doing, Marco?" He glanced over to Cassandra. "Temper temper, my dear. An untruth, in and of itself, does not stand. I will handle Marco." | Quote:
Originally Posted by SeerCassandraTrelawney "Yes Professor," Cassandra sat down. How dare Marco Denver try to ruin Erikson's reputation for that Hufflepuff divination professor. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "In the common room. She couldn't handle herself. I was dancing, and then you abused me. And you told Trelawney to show discretion," Marco spat again. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Turning back to Marco, he continued, looking rather amused. "I hadn't known that you were so sensitive that a gentle flick to the forehead counted as abuse for you, childe. I was telling her to show discretion with her emotions, Marco. As you mentioned, she could not handle herself. And thus, I was requesting that she show some restraint. If you hadn't noticed, there is an official from the Ministry here. Already there were rumors of Allegra and I floating about, and so I believed that it was going to be another term in which people would be meddling in my affairs. As such, I was trying to get Cassandra to tone things down so that no more rumors would be spread." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "And you told me that it was none of my business that it was true. So that means you didn't want me to know about your sordid affair with a minor. Again I repeat, how could you cheat on Natasha?" Marco couldn't believe this man had kept so calm. He was going to ruin this man's reputation if he had the power. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna "As I have said before, I am not cheating on Natasha. And," he smirked, "just who are you to be calling my wife Natasha anyway? I could always say that due to your affectionate terms toward her, that you are merely trying to slander my name for the sake of your affections.
"As for the none of your business comment, I said that if it were true, it wouldn't be. Again, it goes back to plausible deniability. If you did happen to know some information which is harmful, and decided to now use it for a set period of time, or use it for blackmail, then when that person is eventually caught you will also be in trouble for not coming forward with the information. I admit that Slytherin was a secretive house, and sometimes it is wiser not to know the happenings of the more prized students. I was hoping that you would pick up the information as a tip, in order that you might become a more discerning leader.
"Instead, you used the wrong set of information for you own gain, now showing that you are not the discerning individual I thought you were capable of being, and making a fool of yourself in front of your own house."
He crossed his arms and leaned against the board. "Is it clear now?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by SeerCassandraTrelawney Cassandra stood calmly. "Marco," she said "You have misunderstood obviously. I love one boy and he is sitting at the other end of the classroom." She said pointing to Alex. "Professor Erikson is over twice my age, no offence, but that is a tad old for me don't you think?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by Draco Silver Alex jumps from seat and yells back across the room, "Then why were you kissing that boy?" ander scrawled across his face. | Quote:
Originally Posted by SeerCassandraTrelawney Cassandra had enough. First Sho accusing her in the corridor, then Marco trying to ruin both her and the professor's reputation, Erikson telling all the Slytherins she wasnt handling her emotions for him, and now Alex yelling at her. Attacking her. She knew she deserved it, but right now... she couldn't. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Armand blinked at Alex's sudden outburst. So, that's what was going on over there. "Perhaps Alex, Cassandra... The two of you should find a place to discuss this matter. Things such as this should not wait." | Quote:
Originally Posted by SeerCassandraTrelawney "I don't thing so, Professor. I am not feeling well at the moment... I will be in the gardens pulling some herbs for some tea. Excuse me." She walked out of the classroom. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "I may be making a fool of myself Professor. But I don't care because I will be telling Natasha about you and Trelawney, as well as you and Allegra. And I don't care if you want to stop me," Marco said, pulling out his wand. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna He nodded to Cassandra and addressed Marco. "Do what you must. You will only be proven wrong."
To the rest of the class, he continued his lesson. "Do not worry, I have a feeling this argument is over. However, feel free to address the situation. The key to this is information. If you must continue an argument, be sure you have the correct information. Remain calm and reassured in your argument. And most of all, consider the fact that you could be wrong. This will greatly enhance your communication with other houses. And remember, you want to acknowledge everything. Look at an argument from all angles. Because when you look at it from only one viewpoint, you are more likely to get emotionally involved. Are there questions not relating to the details of this particular argument?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster As Armand turned to the class Marco flicked his wand at the Professor's head. Setting the back of his hair on fire. He quickly pocketed his wand and sat back in his seat. Seeing how long it would take for the Professor to notice. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Feeling the heat behind him he pulled out his wand, dousing his hair. He didn't care that he was wet, but a student actually had the audacity to attack him. He turned, rather slowly to Marco. He pulled the tie from his hair, letting it hang about him. It disguised his features, a practiced move that showed just the very edge of perfection, so that only Marco could see his eyes. His movements were slow, steady, and powerful, moving towards the younger boy. Whatever was kind, gentle, and compassionate in the man had left. an eerie sort of presence surrounded him, making him seem even larger than his normal 6'7". "Marco," he said with a strange softness. "You shouldn't have done that." | Quote:
Originally Posted by SlytherinSistah Claudian stood up..slooowly. Calmly made his way over to the door and went to go see if an available teacher could come and ...assist with the situation at hand. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster Oooops maybe he shouldn't have done that. This man was scary. And it looked like he was about to kill Marco. His hand clenched around his wand tightly. "I didn't do anything Sir," Marco stuttered, and shivered slightly. |
MEANWHILE, IN THE DUNGEON CORRIDOR... Quote:

"Professor Rae." Claudian tried to manage a smile. He was pretty sure he'd just seen Tartarus on a bad day. "Nice to see you. May I have a moment of your time to let you know that Professor Erikson's Slytherin 101 class has gone to Hades in a velvet lined hand-basket?" He was trying to hard to keep his composure. He'd just been rejected and used and witness to a death match between the Quidditch Captain and a former Slytherin teacher. His nerves were shot! | Quote:

He felt guilty for biting his tongue. He let out a small nervous laugh. "Only on my best of days, Headmistress, could I ever hope to be so influential." He began walking to the Slytherin 101 room. "Please, follow me." He said, leading her into the Slytherins 101 class. | Quote:

ooc: I'll post in the classroom next. Thanks. | BACK IN THE SLYTHERIN 101 CLASS... Quote:

Originally Posted by Zellanna Armand had just put his wand away and started reaching for Marco when he heard the headmistress's voice.

Rather than what he was going to do, he took Marco's arm, whispering to him, "You're very lucky today, Denver. So tell me, does attacking other Slytherins factor into your dream for uniting the house?"
He slid a very, very careful mask into place as he held onto the boy firmly, careful not to bruise him. "Yes, actually." He took a deep breath, as though the most that happened was he was irritated. "This boy decided to slander me, and then proceeded to attack me when the argument did not go his way. Deciding to set my hair on fire, actually." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin Rae-Branxton nodded. "Those are very serious allegations, Mr. Denver. Do you have anything to say for yourself? I suspect there will be more than serious repercussions to this event. How long will it take you to pack?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "He," Marco said pointing at Armand, "Would've killed me if you hadn't been here. And he wanted someone to argue against, to present a point Ma'am." Marco looked at the Headmistress. She was about to expel him, "I only did it because he wanted someone to argue with." Marco started to cry, "Please don't expel me. Please." He was considering actually begging. On his knees and all. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin "Do you honestly believe that Professor Erikson wanted you to debate his points by throwing around slander and spells?" She tapped her foot. "I'm not sure we should do this with an audience. Do you have anything that can possibly explain your choices, aside from finger pointing?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Armand released Marco and took a step back, running a hand through his hair, watching the tendrils that had been burnt through fall away. There was a small pile of hair on the floor, which Armand cleaned with a wave of his wand, not letting the pain of it show. Once done, he tied up his hair in a way that the missing strands were hardly noticeable. Of course, he would always know, and that was the problem. "Arguments do not usually end with setting your opponent on fire, Marco."
Armand waved off the class. "Feel free to go. I assure you this will not be happening in the next class. I will assign homework when this issue is dealt with." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster "Please Professor," Marco said, tears streaming down his face, "Please don't expel me." He felt Armand let go. "I didn't mean any harm. I was jealous. And I am sorry. I will never do it again." His eyes had gone all steamy, he couldn't see anyone, and they were red and puffy. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna Armand eyed him, and tried to stay angry. Heck, he'd drag up that old feeling of first having his hair burnt. Tried to summon the image of his hair, piled on the ground. But all that was in front of him was this crying boy. He sighed, crossing his arms and fighting the urge to try and comfort him, even though he was going to do horrible things to the boy just moments before. If he couldn't be angry, the least he could do was be aloof. "Well, it sounds like he is genuinely sorry." | Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin "No," Cassandra stepped forward and put her arms around him. She really couldn't stand that he was so upset. "No one gets expelled for making a bad decision, or else all of us would have to go sooner or later. But I think you'd agree that lighting your professor on fire deserves a stint in detention?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster Marco looked up at the Headmistress, who hugged him, he sniffled, "Thank you." He knew he deserved detention, but he had quidditch, "I know Professor. I have Quidditch soon. And I don't want to miss that." He began to cry again at the thought of letting his house down. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin "I suppose a little perspective is in order," she straightened up and gave Armand a level look. He was welcome to jump in at any time. "You could have been tossed out on your Quidditch-loving bum or stripped of your post. I think possibly missing your game is fair. What do you think, Professor?" | Quote:
Originally Posted by Zellanna He looked away, pretending to consider it. "I think that would be fair." He looked back down at the boy and crossed his arms. "Get word to your team so that they can prepare for the eventuality, though it would seem you will be watching from afar, this game." Darn boy was too hard to stay mad at, Armand thought. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin "Oh," Cassandra hedged for a moment before nodding. "Marco, you can meet me down the hall in the detention rooms, and I'll be along shortly. I... suppose we can speak to each other," Rae-Branxton responded, but she wasn't moving very fast. | Quote:
Originally Posted by Jenster Marco nodded, "Yes Professor." He noticed Armand look away. Why was that? Was he disturbed by the fact that he was crying or was it another reason?
He wiped his eyes and left the dungeon. | |
