| | |  The Back Alley
The streets of Hogsmeade are clean, cheerfully lit, and full of chatter with the store fronts advertising their wares. However, the alley behind the shops is dark, dank, and kinda... creepy.  | |

"'M losing my mind," he murmured quietly, staring at the man with a great degree of fear on his face. Should he say...? No... not yet.

Truebridge dropped to his knees, still not quite appearing to relax. He angled himself so he could see an approach from any direction and examined Jake with apparent disinterest.
"I lost my mind a few times." He mused, "It always found me again."

"I lost mind a few times." He mused, "It always found me again." "'T ain't comin' back," Jake sniffed, shaking his head. Still holding the cup, Jake screwed up his eyes and rubbed the side of his head. His cold hands seemed to wake him up a bit. "I can't... 'member stuff... things happen... uh get 'n trouble, 'n' I can't 'member what i did..." he looked exceedingly confused for a moment. "Days... days... uh f'rget entire days."
Leaning his head back against the wall, Jake finally broke down properly. "Evr'thin'... can't take it anymore... Mah head... mah mind... s'gone furr good."
And combine that with the whole situation after Bunbury's detention, he may as well be at St. Mungo's being checked out already. "Home..." Jake muttered. "Wanna go home."

"Maybe someone else borrowed it and forgot to tell you." Ethan answered as if he was talking about a next door neighbour who'd taken a missing power tool.
"Your mind is here right now though, hmm?" Truebridge asked in a quiet voice and then added. " I don't want you to go home."

"Don't see wha-what use it-it-it is anyway," he added bitterly, feeling a little dizzy as he thought it. Ugh, really... this was just... not good.
Staring straight at Truebridge Jake blinked once and started to shake his head, before stopping himself, and instead nodding. He was right. Jake was quite aware of what he was doing right at that moment, wasn't he? "Y-yes..." Jake replied, talking very quietly. "But... ffffor how long? Any-any second... it just-" the boy stalled for a second, for some reason not wanting to tell Truebridge this... but if he was on the staff, the man might find out. "I attacked... two people," he said, quite plainly. "Sssseventh years. Wit' magic."
Surely that last little bit of information was enough to show how confused Jake was about this. He had, of course, only found out he attacked them with magic AFTER he'd done it.
"Still don' want me ter go home?"

He considered Jake's question gravely.

What was this place? Peering down the dark street, Peyton shuddered and then decided to check it out. She hadn't been here before. Starting down the street, she looked around interestedly and kept pressing on. She would discover something soon, surely.

Starting down the street, she looked around interestedly and kept pressing on. She would discover something soon, surely. Bundled up in his winter jacket, Torin was trying to walk through the alleyway as fast as he could. What was he even doing here? He had figured that this could be a nice shortcut, cutting through a side street, but this place was sorta UGH. He was seriously reconsidering turning around and going through the streets properly.

When she'd got a little way in, Peyton saw some bins on the floorr and Professor Truebridge with Jake Upstead. Shaking her head to herself, she decided to leave them in peace to talk over what they needed to and turned around. As soon as she'd turned on her heel, she made a small noise "Oooh" she gasped as she accidentally caught Torin with her scarf "Oh.. Torin.. I'm so sorry. I didn't know you were there!"

He was still thinking of turning around when suddenly he got a big scare as something was randomly caught on him.
"You startled me," he said with a weak laugh as he suddenly heard Peyton's laugh. This place was creepy and he seriously didn't need a startle. But it was okay.

A nervous laugh escaped her thin, pink lips "Sorry..." she apologised again "I was turning to get outta here.. it seems creepy to me..." Peyton explained.

So he wasn't the only one who found this place creepy. At least he wasn't alone. "It's okay. And I find it creepy here too. So much for a nice shortcut, huh?" He smiled at her despite the current atmosphere. It was good to see her again. | |

Peyton frowned and shivered, drawing her coat closer to her. "Very." She glanced around again "How're you?" Randomly asking questions was fun!

"Very." She glanced around again "How're you?" Randomly asking questions was fun! He saw that she was cold. "We should get walking again." He was cold himself and standing here wasn't helping much; they needed to get move on.
"I'm good. Better now that you are here." It was good to have someone to talk to. And he wanted to ask her opinion on something...
He suddenly reached inside his pocket and pulled out a box. He handed it to her. "Tell me what you think of this." Inside was the locket that he had bought Brody just before.

"We should" she smiled and started walking with him. Smiling to herself as he said he was better now that she was there, she knew that he liked her. Looking over as he pulled out a box, she nodded and took the box. Opening it, she gasped "Wow... That's gorgeous!" she lifted it up a little so she could see it in the light "Really! Torin! Wow.." Peyton handed it back to him and looked at Torin's face "It's REALLY nice"

I thought that it would be perfect for Brody. It's just as beautiful as she is." Now he just needed to think of when to give it to her. | |

He sighed as he remembered that even Tammy had fought with her. "I just need to think of how to give this to her. Maybe at Madame Puddifoot's." | |

He considered Jake's question gravely.
"I still don't want you to go home. " It took him quite a while to realise that Truebridge had emphasised a certain word, and thus changed the meaning of the question. He was getting good at that.
"I..." he started, wiping his face and eyes with his free hand, under his glasses, and saring, bleary-eyed, at Truebridge. "I... I think..." Jake thought hard... so hard he was getting a headache. "I don't tthhhhhink it were..." he finished up, screwing up his eyes in confusion.
Hearing the answer to his question, Jake blinked a little. "Why?" he asked, by now more confused than upset. "Evvvveryone else d-d-does... I'm d-dangerous..." Jake took another calming breath, but his breath hitched halfway though and he forced back tears once more.

"Well.. no offence.. and don't take this the wrong way.. but I think Brody's a different person when she's not around you" Peyton told him nervously and then shrugged "Not that her behaviour matters to me" she smiled and then nodded "Puddifoots sounds good."

He was taken aback by her comment but not offended. "What do you mean?" He frowned slightly. She wasn't implying that his girlfriend was mean was she? | |

No for that I've been tearing myself apart and applying glamour charms so that no-one would know anything was wrong. I admit that I screwed up but I can't change it." Reid said tiredly, regretting ever drawing Rachel's attention to himself today. If he hadn't of then he could have avoided meeting with Livvy for a few more days. The few days it would take before he decided to give up on it and accept things. Because Reid knew he would have given up on Rachel in a few more days. Well maybe not completely but he would have resigned himself to the fact that he didn't have her.
"Your right she is your best friend and she's nothing to me so why does it matter if I trust her or like her?! You will anyway and I'll get over it." Reid exclaimed, sick of being the one that had to be understanding. Just because he was the man he had to seemingly understand girls and their mood swings. He had to understand when they said things that they wanted to take back. He had to understand when they wouldn't talk to you because of something you didn't even remember doing and he had to understand this too!
"Maybe you don't but I can't change who I am Rach. This is as much a part of me as the person you knew last year. It isn't the better part of me admittedly but I can't change it." Reid turned back so he was looking at them fully and his heart hurt by looking at Rachel's face. Even the emotions displayed on Livvy's face were getting to him. "I've never trusted people easily, and I've never been one to forgive easily. We're different like that Rach." Reid said turning away from both of them.
"OH for." Reid exclaimed. "Did I not say I'd try to trust her? I said I'd be civil and at the moment that's all I can do Rach. I know this can't be easy for you and maybe if not for this summer Livvy and I wouldn't be like this now." Reid raked his hand through his hair again in frustration.
"Livvy," Reid said turning to address the girl. "I did say actions speak louder than words. So show your sorry by being the best friend to Rachel you can be. Do that for a month without deliberately doing anything to harm Rachel, me or our relationship and I'll trust you." Reid said, hoping that this would be good enough because if not he was done. Ok, so this was beginning to feel more and more like an argument - but it WASN'T. Nope - no sir. They had JUST patched things up and nothing would make them mad at each other. NOTHING.
Right - now that's clear... He used glamour charms?! That's SO cute. She should have thought of that too. Rachel was about to comment fondly on that piece of information when he practically shouted at her. ... Well, he didn't SHOUT - but his tone was just as bad.
Not an argument, not an argument... "Reid - I don't want to fight," she said, feeling pathetically hurt. She even felt little TEARS coming. Ugh. "And so I'm just going to say that it would be nice if you liked my best friend since we're going to spend a lot of time together..." she said evenly, wishing that she could somehow wave her wand and make everything right between her two favourite people.
Unfortunately, there was no spell that could fix their relationship. Only time... And it has to be natural, not accelerated. "I NEVER asked for you to change. Ever. Everyone has their flaws, and if this is yours then I am blessed. Reid, all I'm-" she replied, slightly surprised that he would think that. Had he misunderstood her that much? She really would not have him change... Because, she knew from experience, that changing oneself means changing EVERYTHING - and she wouldn't exchange Reid for some guy with sympathetic qualities. Ever. "Opposites attract..." she whispered quietly, the words slipping out too fast for her to reel them back in.
Dang.
Moving on... "Fine. But you weren't really being civil before..." Rachel folded her arms, slightly defiant. He COULD have been gentler, but she did understand. And while civil wasn't the word she would have used, he hadn't really been un-civil either. Which meant she couldn't be mad at him for that - and while she had plenty of other things to help her with that, she refused to think them.
This was NOT an argument, remember? "And on that note - I'd like to leave this place. Speaking about personal problems with a Professor close by is just weird..." the sixth year attempted to lighten the mood, having noticed their HoM professor enter the alley right after Jake Upstead did, a few minutes ago. When she had been younger, the fact that teachers had lived was strange to her, yet after all those Aparecium issues that feeling had been quickly erased. Now, it was only weird to be near them while talking about your personal life - unlike before, when it was weird to see them outside the classroom.

Or it at least looks that way to everyone else" she looked down at her feet, feeling bad for saying this stuff, even if was true to her.

You saying that I make her better when I'm with her? You dislike her too?" He was getting tired of all his female friends disliking her. | |

"I don't NOT like her.. but I wouldn't wanna be her best friend" she explained with a small, nervous smile "I... I'm saying you're a good influence on her!"
