Jillian walked over to the closest thing she could sit on that was near the bonded man. Right now, that was the loveseat and the man was only a couple of feet away from it. She sat down and watched her surroundings. It was a pretty office. Bright colors and all that. Everything in this school was girly and bright. Her thoughts drifted of how she envied her two older siblings who had the chance to go to Hogwarts--a mixed school. Both boys and girls could attend. How she longed to go to a school like that.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she heard movement from the man near her. She let out a sigh before actually addressing him.

"You know, trying to escape would lead you to much more trouble than you already are." she said matter-of-factly, and swiftly pulled out her wand. "And since I've been granted permission to hex you, don't think I won't Growing up with an older evil sister who uses jinxes to make you do what she wants and having an older brother who'll protect you from her and help get back at her, I actually know a few spells that can stun you. My favorite though is the body-bind curse."

She then remembered that time her parents were away, and as usual there was trouble. Her two older siblings had gotten in a duel, and when her brother fell to the ground and dropped his wand, she lunged for it and jinxed her sister. She got in trouble of course, but it was worth it.

She looked at the man straight in the eye and said "So basically, I've got experience. Probably more than most kids my age. So please don't try to escape. I won't hurt you otherwise." there, she was even polite. Merlin's pants, this girly school was getting to her.

Boredom wasn't really Jillian's thing. Why not strike up a conversation with the man who snuck into their school for females? That wasn't totally weird, was it?

"So...you got a name?"

"What's the world coming to when they won't let you be with the woman you love?...Right about now, getting in trouble would be worth it, kiddo. Just so long as I can hold her...why am I explaining this to you? You're only a child...she'd understand though...she always understands..." his eyes had a fixed gaze on Ariana.

They quickly darted back to the child in the room, a small eyebrow raised. "Constantine Masterson...look kid, if you're trying to get my love, you can forget it. My heart already belongs to someone else..." he sighed, as he squirmed a little more to try and get free.

Jillian looked at him with a confused expression. "So, you would risk your life just to look at her? Are you that desperate? Women don't like that. I mean, you could've owled her-very romantic. She'd come to you-though I'd doubt she'd risk doing something like what you just did." This man--this Constantine--was madly in love with the Nurse. Very madly in love with her. Was he in some sort of spell?

Jillian laughed. "Look, mate, you are way in over your head if you think I'd crush on you. You're not all that, so do yourself a favor and get over yourself." Constatine was amusing. as if she'd really want to win him over. First of all, he's waaayy older, and secondly, this first impression of him wasn't really a good one.

"Quit struggling. The Headmistress' ropes are there to stay. You might think you're getting closer to freedom, but watch; they'll tighten they're grip on you, like serpents, or worse: Devil's Snare. They are enchanted ropes after all." One things for sure: things in the wizarding world aren't always what they seemed to be: and neither was this man before her.

"It's like I said, you're a child...you don't understand. When you get older and you meet your first boy, come and talk to me then. But now, don't meddle in things you don't understand." He continued his little escapade to get the ropes off, "I won't stop until I can get to her. It's hurting me to see her standing away from me...I want to be next to her. So, why don't you just save your breath and stupefy me already. She did tell you to do it, after all." He eyed the child, hoping he was calling her bluff. "I'd rather be put out of misery than sit here and ache to have something I can't reach. Then I can look forward to waking up..because I know she'll be there."

Jillian rolled her eyes. Why do adults always assume younger people 'don't understand'? They have a sense of knowledge and are able to be analytical too. You just have to give them a chance or accept the fact that some adults do act crazy.

Jillian sighed and took a hanging photograph of Nurse Ari and placed it by the tied-up man. "There. you're close to her. Wait-did he just dare her? Is he unaware that you should never ever dare a McGuffin?

"I take dares very seriously." she said, her eyes turning dark, her wand pointed right at him. "So, have it your way--Stupefy!" she declared, yet moved her wand ever so slightly you wouldn't even noticed it moved.

The spell hit the floor very near Constatine's head. Jillian laughed at the man's petrified expression.

"Nipping Nargles, are you seriously that scared of me? You look like my nine-year-old brother when he realizes I'm plotting against Susie." she smiled, then lwoered her wand a bit. "But dare me again and I will hit you this time. This is the Hospital Wing after all, so you'll be alright. But by the time you wake, The Headmistress would make sure you're far from the Nurse as possible, so I suggest you keep still. Since you're that crazy about Nurse Ari, you'd rather sit there and suffer than be somewhere safe yet far from her, wouldn't you?" HA! Try that for 'don't understand.'

He raised an eyebrow at the girl, "child, I've come across worse things than you. I've seen and done things that would make your skin crawl. I'm shocked that you missed," he shook his head. "If you don't follow through with what you say you're going to do, I just lose my respect for you slowly." He fought the binds again, now considering how much tighter they felt around him.

He laughed this time, "Don't you hear them child? Ariana thinks that I'm not alright...I highly doubt she'll let me go back to the boy's school if I'm in a "crazy" state...which I'm not," he added, frowning. "I love her," he mumbled, pausing in struggling to look at her, "what's so weird about that? I'd shout it to everyone in this school, if that's what it'll take to get her to believe me!" he added, very loudly.

Make my skin crawl? Yeah right. "I missed on purpose to see how you would react, and besides...You're not the only person to have seen things. We've moved a lot--to places you haven't even heard of because my father refuses to share his findings with the rest of the world. You'd be surprised at what I've seen and learned to do at a very young age," Jillian said darkly. Images of strange beasts, places, and people flashed in her mind. No wonder she was such a strong-willed girl. Whatever happened to her sister that made her girly, she'll never know.

"On the contrary, I think she does believe you, that's why she may be worried about what's going to happen to you. And if in fact she loves you as much as you her, she'd want what's best for you and if that's sending you to St. Mungo's well...take a good look at her now."

"Jillian, don't talk to the crazy man," Rae called to the little girl before turning back to Ari. "If he's ill, then fix it. You're a healer and a witch, for the love of Merlin. Get your head back into the match and figure out how to make this right before they all start to get... ideas."

Ariana didn't like the implication that she didn't know how to do her job. "I have an idea what might have happened but I need to know what he's eaten to see if it fits. And if I'm right, I'm going to need Con..Professor Masterson to be able to identify her so the proper actions can be taken." This was way to much drama then she was wanting to deal with. Her cabinet held all kinds of antidotes and she grabbed the one for Amortencia and held it in her hand.

"I'm happy to deal with him once he's cured, Ari, but you know that only you are capable of curing him in this room. Get him better and I'll interrogate him," she spun too fast and put her hand out as the world spun. "I think I need some curing myself."

Ari grabbed a bottle of anti-nausea serum and handed it to Rae. "Fine, just find out what he's eaten today and if he says acorn cookies bring in Cassandra Trellawney to see if he recognizes her." Conny would answer questions better for her then he would for Rae especially since they hadn't exactly met under the best circumstances. But Rae was the headmistress so that was that.

Neo gave the girl one last glare, before turning his attention back Ariana. The child was just giving him a headache, anyways. Sighing, he rested his head on the floor of the office, watching the pair chat...Ariana more than the other woman.

Ariana moved towards Conny. "Thank you, I can take it from here." She told the young girl. "I want you to drink this Conny, it doesn't take great but it's not too bad either. Please?" She asked him. Ari knew he didn't like to take potions but it was the only way. "I'll hold it and you just open your mouth." Considering he couldn't exactly move with the ropes.

"Do I have to?" He eyed the bottle cautiously; man, he hated taking potions. They all tasted disgusting and for all he knew, that woman could have told her to poison him in punishment or something! "What's it for?"

"Am I going to have to hold your nose again?" Ari asked giving him a smirk and a grin. "Come on, if it would hurt you I wouldn't do it. I just need you to trust me." She didn't want to pull a pupy face...especially with the others in the room so she really hoped he cooperated.

Neo returned her smile as he nodded his head again. "Okay...for you. And ONLY for you," he sent a glare over at the other woman. And, would you mind holding my nose? I hate taking potions..."

"I know you do and I wouldn't ask you too unless it was important. Ok...here we go." She plugged his nose and poured a bit of the potion down his throat. It might take a couple minutes for the potion to fully work. Ari wanted to release the ropes but figured that would be better for Cassandra to do herself.

Neo closed his eyes as Ariana poured the potion down his throat. It went down okay, but once there was nothing left in the bottle, he turned onto his side and coughed, trying to get the taste out of his throat.. EW, disgusting stuff.... Finishing, he rolled back onto his back and stared at Ariana. "Sit beside me, please?"

Ari looked at the floor and then looked around the room. On the floor?? She gave a soft sigh and then sat down and tucked her feet underneath her and settled down. At least he hadn't put up a fuss about the potion...to much at least.

As she sat down, Neo scooted a little closer to her, resting his head on her leg. He closed his eyes over and he enjoyed the fact that she was finally close. But soon, a frown crossed his face. His feelings of love disappeared and he suddenly started to feel confused. He opened his eyes again, looking around the room confused, curious, and slightly nervous. His eyes caught sight of Ariana.

"Ari? Ari...where am I? What happened? Who are you?" he added catching sight of the other older woman in the room. He tried to get up, but found that virtually impossible. Looking down, he saw why he couldn't move. "And why in the world am I tied up?"

"Hello, Constantine," Rae sighed and she lowered herself into a chair and finished off the anti-nausea potion she'd been given. "You remember me, don't you? I'm Cassandra Rae... you interviewed with me for the position at Hogwarts?"

He furrowed a brow, trying to remember. "Oh yes! Yes...I remember, I apologize....just..so confused. It's good to see you again Rae...though I take that this meeting was not on good terms?" he raised an eyebrow as he looked down at his bound body.

Jillian looked at the Headmistress and sighed. She nodded though, indicating she understood. It was going to be boring not being able t talk and just continue to stare at these people, one of them being crazy and tied up.

Jillian just held the man's glare until he finally looked away. This guy was certainly stubborn. Well, to her most males are. But this one--extremely stubborn. Maybe once he's cured of whatever illness he's got they'll get along pretty well. A smirk formed at the corner of her mouth. Stubbornness wasn't a quality only men could possess. Her mother certainly told her that a lot.

Jillian's eyes widened and her mouth dropped. "You seriously don't remember everything that just happened?" she blurted out before she could stop herself. Men were indeed strange beings--that or that was some powerful stuff he ate that made him go crazy and forget all about it.

"No, that's true... you're in a bit of a mess here. But I've been dying to tie someone up for ages, so thanks for that," she sat back and watched Ari work for a moment. "Did you have any unusual snacks or drinks today?"

With raised eyebrows, he looked over at the Gryffindor girl in the room. He considered her for a few seconds, before shaking his head. He couldn't remember a thing.

"You're welcome," he said, smiling lightly. "I'm glad to have been of some assistance...i ate food...was it unusual? To me, no. I believe I ate a couple cookies last. I obtained them from the Hog's Head not too long ago. Why?"
