Fuming [open]

He looked down at Basil. She was clearly upset. Just go and eat your own foot Lucifer. He thought to himself. He shifted slightly, not knowing what to do. Then an idea smacked him in the face like reality. He cupped her cheeks in his hands, letting his cane clatter to the floor and kissed her tenderly.

Her eyes widened in surprise as Lux kissed her. Basil closes her eyes and wraps her arms around Lux's neck. She smiled a bit, feeling a bit better.

Lily turned at the sound of something falling but immediately shielded her eyes at the sight before her. Not wanting to interrupt she turned again so that her back was to the pair once more, a giggle escaping her lips.

He quickly broke the kiss and took a step back, remembering where he was and who was here as well. Clearing his throat softly, he kneeled down and picked up his cane.

Basil takes a step back from Lux, watching him pick up his cane. "You really should take a bit more care with it Lux." Basil says, her voice concerned.

He nodded slightly. "Wood is sturdy. It'll survive a couple of falls." He glanced briefly at Lily before looking back at Basil. "I need to get back to the castle. My bed is calling out for me." He patted his robes to make sure the letter was still there. "Are you gonna stay here or head back to the castle as well?"

ooc I'll be back in half an hour.

Basil shrugs. "Yeah. I guess." She looks at Lux. "I think I'll be heading back also. I'm a bit tired."

Lily tried containing her giggles, keeping them soft, but she could help herself. They had looked so sweet together. She glanced around once more, stepping away from the door slightly as she heard Lucifer say he was leaving, then Basil too. She raised an eyebrow but couldn't stop the smile from spreading across her face.

ooc okies.

Leo trudged her way up the steps of the Owlery, yawning and shivering at the biting cold that the scarf wrapped tightly around her neck couldn't prevent. The cold was relentless, passing right through her as if she wasn't even there.
'I hate winter,' Leo grumbled to herself, thinking that she could do with a fur coat or two right about now. She pushed open the door to the Owlery and blinked, not expecting people. Muttering some form of greeting, Leo made her way through the group, looking up to the rafters.

He nodded and turned to exit the owlery. Lily. "Good evening Prewett." He said with icy politeness as he walked past her. And back up to the castle.

Ooc Goodnight my lovely lambs! I shall see you all tomorrow!

OOC: Night Lux.

Basil follows Lux out of the Owlery, heading for her own dorm for once. She didn't feel like sleeping in the corridors anymore. The dorm seemed quite welcoming at the moment.

Lily waved the pair off and another person in. "Hello Leo!" she greeted after the girl had made her way in to some open space. "Everything okay?" She walked over to her, a smile on her face, the anger that had built up inside her now gone, the the flames of it still danced in her eyes.

A quiet call - a soft whistle - and a tawny owl was swooping towards Leo's offered arm. 'Here you go,' Leo muttered, holding out the envelope to Vulcan. He took it, and Leo smiled fondly, giving him a brief stroke of his feathers. Vulcan hooted, then took off through one of the windows.
'Hmm? Oh, hey Lily.' Leo had thought everyone else had left. She turned around, brushing her hands off on her pants. 'Yeah, everything's fine. Why wouldn't it be?'

ooc: Damn, I have to go, see you later.

She shrugged, smiling. "No reason, just checking, I haven't seen you around for a while.. then again, I've not been in the dorms for a while so that doesn't surprise me." She laughed watching the owl fly in to the distance.

ooc byeee

ooc pahaha I just read what Lils said again.. she really did get her claws out :')

ooc my head hurts like hell.

ooc sleep then? or have some pain killers?

ooc Viiiiiine you really need to do a reaction to Lily's catty comments.. she like.. slated you :L

Ooc I will, wait.

ooc I'm impatient :')

He looked around the owlery, it was just him and Lily now.
"Stalking you? You call me a stalker now?" He asked, crossing his arms. He didn't care if Erik was a mudblood or a half-goblin. She seemed angry now, angrier than usual. Instead of apologizing, she was trying to make herself look innocent, right or whatever she was trying to do. He walked to her and slammed her against the wall, breathing heavily in anger.
"Do you want me to kill you here?"

OOC: Whoa... 0.o

"Stalking, following.. same thing!" Her voice became louder, she was frustrated and angry all at once. Her head whacked against the wall as she became trapped, and she looked angrily in to his eyes. "Kill me. If that's what you really want. Go ahead. And enjoy your time in Azkaban." she growled the last part, jaws clenched. Her breath had quickened, a burst of adrenaline pumping through her veins, the excitement of her own emotions causing her to smirk playfully. "Show me what it is I know you're best at. Causing harm."

He took out his wand, fast and cut a line on his hand. It was bleeding now, he held her still so she couldn't move and left a trail of blood in her hair, smearing it against her locks, of merging the two shades of red together.

"Oh I could cause harm. Smell the blood. Next time you smell it, it might be yours or someone you love. You won't ever forget it." his voice seemed ethereal, floating from some far off place, just barely reaching her. There was a steeled edge to his voice, sharp, one that made ones breath hitch. His eyes narrowed, regarding Lily in a suspicious new light. "Did you think I wouldn't find out? The word you call stalking is a way for me to make sure you don't lie to me." he said, his hiss was low, ominous.

Vine's hand snaked around her upper arm, harshly yanking her, his vice like hold proving to be her only support when she stumbled.
"You want harm? "I'll give you."

With a brutal tug, he marched towards the doors of the owlery and out into the deserted halls of Hogwarts.
