Rafe outstetched his arm. The professor looked uncomfortable. "Would you like to use my arm for support?" he asked as they made their way to the first floor corridor.

ooc: yepperz....i will post more there!

Lyra wandered aimlessly around the castle with her hands in her robe pockets. She was so lost in her thoughts about everything what had happened this year so far. Well, atleast her second year was more eventful then her first...

Lyra stopped walking and leaned with her side against the wall. She took her hands out of her pockets and stared at the thin piece of red rope with metal plate on it. Smiling a bit, Lyra started to twirl the thin rope absentmindly around her wrist.

Evan was still on one of his "discovery" tours when he saw Lyra alone... not paying attention to anything. His perfect mind quickly reminded of his revenge. Giggling silently, he ducked down and came behind her back, thinking "Levicorpus!" while aiming his wand at her hip. He wasn't sure if it would work, but he did feel a rush of somehing out of his wand. Now to wait and see...

Presence. Lyra sensed another presence in the corridor. The small Slytherin had lowered her wand out of her wrist holster and just when she wanted to turn around to shout at the person to go.away! she felt something hit her body. A second later she was hoisted up in to the air by her ankle. "WHAT THE?!" she screamed loudly and looked around trying to see who it was. Evan! "EVAN! PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!" she shouted, not liking this one bit. This wasn't the first time she had been Levicorpused, she had experienced it last year too against a old friend. But then another thought occured to her. How did Evan learned this spell? was it because he had been homeschooled? ooooh pleaase let him remember the counter-curse cause Lyra couldn't.

Yes! Evan grinned evilly. He had just hexed Lyra which meant a lot to him, for she had beaten him in the duel, as well as smacking his head. She totally deserved it. He kept grinning evilly as she shouted, like he'd care. She was in his hand right now, and he'd make the most of it.

"First, apologise for my head in the train." he said sweetly, playing with his wand. "Then I'll consider." He was a true Slytherin, no wonder in that. He then remembered she still had her wand, so he shouted "Expelliarmus!" He didn't expect Lyra to fight in this position.

Warren walked in casually with his hands in his pockets. He stood by a painting of a man in armour which moved frequently. Warren just stood there watching as people walked past. He heard a sudden noise of a younger student shouting ' Expelliarmus ' but he took no notice.

Lyra gasped when a flash of red light hit her right hand and her wand flew towards Evan. She desperately tried to grab it with her arms but failed.

Meanie!

Apologise for his head? hehe. Lyra grinned and looked towards Evan. "oh i am soooooo sorry head of Evan" she said in a sarcastic voice and rolled her eyes. "Now put me DOWN, Mr. Cartwright!" she snapped.

The voice of the painting next to Warren began to speak. '' Excuse me young man, do you mind standing right near me? '' the voice said. Warren jumped out of his skin, put his thumbs up at the painting and said ''Ooh sorry mate what was i thinking? '' he smirked. He knew the painting was messing around. Strangly enough why was he speaking to a man on the wall?

As Evan had expected, Lyra's wand had flown right into his waiting right hand. His grin broadened. He had just trapped Lyra Riddle, and that wasn't everyone could do. And people would call blondies 'silly people'. He was not silly at all.

He shook his head, and said "Tut tut, Lyra Riddle." He was obviously enjoying this. "Let's be polite now, shall we?" Hehehe, she was not going to like that.

Torin was heading to.. who knows where when he saw a boy talking to a painting on the wall. What the heck? He knew that the things could move and talk but it was still weird.

He headed over to the boy at the painting and asked, "what are you doing?" Obvious question really. But still.

Hmpf, Lyra hated it that she had let her guard down for just a second..just a second! and Evan had found the opportunity to curse her. EEEVIILL!
Lyra glared at Evan, the boy obviously seemed to like this. Well, Lyra did not. Her head started to get redder and redder as she hang there upside down in the air.

Being polite? Lyra was polite! ...well i her own way she guessed. Cursing under her breath, Lyra eyed her wand in Evan's hand thinking 'accio wand accio wand accio wand' but nothing happened. Sighing, Lyra knew (and she didn't like to admit it) that Evan had finally revenged her. It had taken longer than she had expected though. "Ok, Evan i am sorry about what happened in the train, i really am"

'not'

she said in her best sad voice and made a apologising look. "but just put me down, my head starts to hurt".

Alex was wandering down the second floor corridor, she was heading outside, where she would be able to get some fresh air into her lungs.. As well as hopefully see Damon! A wide smile crossed her face, causing it to light up a bit as she hummed a little song. Her grey eyes were wide, and her movements were graceful as she danced alone a little, to the song she was humming.

Her blonde hair flowed gracefully, and her heeled feet made no sound on the stone floor as she walked. Her step light, and her heels charmed. "I've got you, under my skin.." She sang softly, the sound like an angels choir. She did a graceful turn, in time to the music in her head, and continued down the hall.

Oh yeah, Evan realised he could make Lyra do anything he wanted now. He was a Slytherin, just like she was too. And he liked being one.

Although Evan didn't hear that cuss, he saw her lips move. Teehee. She was angry. He didn't even want to think about what would happen when he got her down. He guessed if he didn't give her wand back, she wouldn't do anything. But then again, he couldn't save the wand for him, could he? He shrugged, he would think it later.

Hmpf. Should he believe her? He pretended like he was considering, knowing that the moment she said she was hurt, she got him. He waited for one ladt second before aiming his wand and thinking 'Liberacorpus!' He then quickly said "Wingardium Leviosa." for Lyra not to fall on her head. He then leaved her gently on her feet, and got ready to run.

The second floor corridor was hardly the place Samson Carswell wanted to be. What a random place to be, really. Curse those moving staircases! And curse his laziness to go back, and just want to find another way to the Great Hall. Hehe.

He walked rather casually, not really in any hurry. He wasn't that hungry, nor was he to meet anyone. In fact, it just occurred to him at random to head to the Great Hall and grab a bit to eat. Not really paying much attention to his surroundings, another flight of stairs was in sight, which seemed to be going the direction he wanted.

At the exact moment he took a step, he heard someone humming a familiar song. He turned, and noticed a girl who seemed to be enjoying herself as she danced and sang on her own. And how peculiar it was that she was being so silent about it, yet she still managed to get his attention with her, er, strangeness. What was even stranger, though, was that he had started to walk towards her in his curiosity. When he got to a distance that was neither too awkward or too forward or too weird, he raised an eyebrow at her. "What're you doing?"

Alex was snapped out of her daydream by a male voice, for a second her heart jumped, but then as she gracefully turned around, she saw that it was not in fact the object of her hearts desire.. But some other boy. A Cute boy, she would give him that.

She smiled at him, " I am humming, or singing.. a little of both actually." She said as she nodded. "What are you doing?" She asked as she looked at him, he was older than she was, and by the looks of things, in Ravenclaw..

Hmmmm... It was a good thing she liked Damon.. And that she was a Good little Veela.

Waiting impatiently, Lyra managed to fold her arms over each other in mid-air and glared at Evan standing wand out in front of her. She saw him shrugging for a moment and then had a look of concentration on his face.

Then another spell hit Lyra in her stomach and she felt herself falling towards the ground. 'Oh no oh no oh no' she thought 'not again' and held her eyes shut but Evan's voice made her open them again and she realised that she was floating carefully down back to earth.

She felt her feet gently touched the ground and she sighed in relief.
Now she had to play careful for Evan still had her wand. She looked up and eyed her wand for a second and then looked at Evan , giving a small smile. "Thanks for not ..dropping me, for a second i thought you were really going to drop me" she said in a small voice and stared at the floor, fumbling with her fingers on her robe. Waiting for an opportunity to attack back without using magic.

Samson tilted his head to one side when she spoke. Now, where had he heard a voice that light and breezy before? Hmm. He was sure he hadn't met this girl before, because he had met only a few people, and as it was, they were kind of all easy to remember because more often than not, he would encounter people with, er, very memorable attributes. Like impossible shortness, strangely colored hair, weird voices, out-of-this world antics, and all such things. Ah well, whatever it was that was so familiar, he was sure it didn't matter.

"That's, uh, nice," he replied rather awkwardly. And he didn't exactly expect her to throw the question back. "I? I'm... watching you." How strange that sounded. "I mean, I was about to go to the Great Hall, but then I got curious about what you were doing." And admittedly, he wasn't always this curious. Then again, he was a changed man, yes? Yes? Uh. Yes.

He shrugged, and smiled tentatively at the girl.

Alex smiled a little as she pushed her blonde hair behind her ears, her gray eyes peered up at the boy as he looked down at her. " Well, thanks, I think so." She said with a light giggle, as she smiled. "Oh, well I guess I am just happy, and when I get happy.." She spun around in a little dance.

"I guess I dance and sing Frank Sinatra.." She said shaking her head a bit, since when had she ever done that? Usually she was singing something about how hot she was, but not today.. Because things were changing inside of her.. "Do you ever dance and sing when you get happy? Or is that just me?" She asked as she gracefully straightened out her robes.

It was odd seeing Lyra sigh in relief. Usually she was the source of the stress, but ha! Not today. 'Cos today, Evan had hexed her!

The blondie was so deep in his pleasure that he missed Lyra's look at her wand, just like her smile. "Haha, I do m joke, then have people safely out of it." Okay that was flying too high, but if he would show off, he had to do it well.

Winking, he asked "Soo... how have you been?"

Warren realised what he was doing was stupid and turnt around. ''Err he was speaking to me '' he said ''Its rude to not answer. '' Warren smirked. He was slightly embarrassed on being caught but tried not to show it. '' Im Warren by the way, Warren Smith third year Slytherin. '' He affirmed.

As the girl twirled and danced in front of him, Samson took a step back and looked at her curiously. She sure was the bubbly one.

"Er. Frank Sinatra? And I thought it was only old people," he commented with a chuckle, but he didn't really mean that. He liked his music, too. "And. Well, uh. I don't think I ever sing or dance when I'm happy. I mean, I smile a lot, and there'll be a definite bounce in my step, but no dancing or anything." Dare he say he sang in the shower? Bahahahaha. Well, a lot of people did that, but nonetheless he didn't feel like he needed to disclose that information to a girl he had just met.

"So, you're happy now, right? That's why you're dancing and singing?"

Lyra giggled quietly at his show-off act. Really despite the hexing, Evan was really cute. Lyra leaned with her back against the wall behind her trying to avoid looking at her wand. Because if she did her act would blow up. The question Evan asked followed with a wink made Lyra blush slightly. "i've been, ok i guess..just had a little fight with Sha.....eh i'm ok" she quickly said because she really didn't wanted to get in to the subject now. Lyra looked at Evan and smiled at him sweetly. "right, can i have my wand back please, i promise i won't hex you" she said and held her hands in the air showing him her fingers that weren't crossed. She concidered for a second of spitting on the ground to but decided against it because that was just ..EWW.

Evan tilted his head to the side and watched Lyra giggle. Seriously, who would not love her when she was cheerful and all friendly? But he hated the fighting and jealous Lyra, but this conning one was pretty too. He tried not to giggle at her blush, and he succeeded with bleeding his inner mouth. Still as long as she didn't see them, it'd eventually heal.

He glowered when she said she had a fight. And the name sounded suspiciously like Shana... "You just fought with Shana." he stated rather than asking. He then sighed. "Lyra please..." He hesitated, unsure how to say it. "I don't want you to fight. I've changed," His thoughts were the same, but he didn't fight anymore. And that was process, no? "...and I know you can do it too." They had to work on jealousy though. It was the main problem.

Awww, she was sweet! Still, not to break his coolness he shot a cold and suspicious glance at her hands before handling the wand from a safe distance, or more accurately, as far as his hands allowed. He knew better than to trust in these kind of promises.

Alex giggled a little as the boy took a step back from her and looked at her like she was from a different planet. That was sure a different reaction from usual, and she kinda liked it. Really, most boys just fell at her feet. Well except for Damon, he didn't. Her gray eyes had almost an inner glow as she looked back at The boy.

"Well, I guess I picked up on Old Frank from my parents, whose grandparents used to listen to him, I think.. But either way, he is amazing." She said with a nod."Well that is okay right? We can't all burst into song like they do in the movies, I mean, goodness that would be weird." She said with a small laugh as she hummed a bit more.

"Yes, that is why I am dancing and singing, I am very happy at the moment." She said as she tossed her blonde hair behind her shoulder again. "Hi, I am Alexandrina Kensington." She said with a smile.

Lyra lowered her head down and stared at the floor when Evan said that she had just fought with Shana. She bit her lower lip and felt.....ashamed? "B-but, she started it" she said in a kids voice that had a fight over a toy. Truth was she couldn't really remember who started it but in her mind it was Shana. "i just wanted to say Hi to Blake and then she said "shall i move aside so that you can curse him again?" mweeh yesh it was her fault.

Lyra frowned when she looked up to look at Evan. Why did he say he had changed? Lyra is the one with the problems right? "uhm, i don't want to fight either but i guess my jealousy is stronger than i am" wow that sounded lame. But still, it was true. She smirked when he shot a cold and suspicious glance at Lyra's hands when she had held them up. Her smirk transformed in to a giggle when she noticed that Evan was trying to give her wand back from a distance. 'awww this guy is cute' she thought in her mind but quickly closed the thought when she realised what she was thinking. He still liked another girl..Fallon. Muttering a "thanks" Lyra placed her wand in her wristholster and smiled at Evan. She then walked slowly towards him, standing face to face with him and she looked with her brown eyes in to his blue once. She then stood beside him blushing slightly and.....

SMACK!

She moved her hand quickly and made a sharp, upward slap to the back of his head. Grinning broadly she whispered "and thats for using Levicorpus on me" and then gave a quick kiss on his cheek before running away before he could revenge her again.
