Great Hallway Incident
« Thread Started on Oct 13, 2007, 1:09am »

“By 6pm! I want it by 6pm.” Bella insists angrily.
“Don’t you give me a row of mistakes.. I don’t want them linked to me.”
Rita Skeeter rolled her eyes. That disturbs her. Rita was indeed not taking her seriously.
“Listen, Rita!” She points at her. “If I don’t get it by SIX, don’t ever show your face in front of me again. I shall not tolerate this anymore. And I do not favor Lucius confronting me once more for this kind of nonsense.”

She could see Rita eyes widen as she mentions Lucius’s name. Rita must have regretted getting caught red handed by Bella while eying on him behind the library door, about a year back. Since then, Bella had used that as a treat on her. It was a free ticket for getting information since Rita had always been pretty resourceful.

Not waiting for Rita’s reply, she walks out of the empty classroom they were in. There are a lot of things that is going through her mind at the moment. The first day of class did not start well for her as she came in late because she overslept. Her stomach is currently yelling at her to consume food and she is having a migraine. Apart from that, her mind is also clouded by the plan. Time is running out, he is coming and we have to make sure everything is executed perfectly.

She glances at the clock only to realize that she is late for her next class again. She takes a deep breath *sigh* and made a quick left turning at the corner. Before she realizes what happened, her parchments & quills were flying up in the air. And a very firm grip held her arm to stop her from falling. She holds on to the body of the person she bumped into helplessly as she stood up properly. She looks up and gazed into his eyes. He had an attractive pair of electric blue eyes but with lesser color on one side. She blinked and scan quickly at the rest of his face only to recognize the person. Jack? Silence. Her mind went blank until she realizes that she was actually staring at him. She quickly loosens her grip and picks up her belongings on the floor. Jack’s glasses could be seen not far from her quills but it didn’t cross her mind to pick the glasses up for him.

Hastily, she turned and walks off. Halfway down the hallway, she glances back. Jack was still standing at the same spot where they bumped into each other. He was looking at her but this time with his glasses on. She turns and headed off to class.

“He is gone, my boy … No matter what you may feel.”

Dumbledore’s words echoed through Jack’s mind, pulsating, refusing to settle in.

“You are safe here …”

Jack stopped short before a wall. He almost ran into a wall. A wall. The old man’s words continued to ring in his head.

“This images, this apparitions and portents … are the product of a mind trying to make sense of it’s alien surroundings. Your visions of Grigori are just that – visions. He is gone …”

Dreams of his past deeds in the service of his master had continued to plague Jack’s minds for the past few weeks. And the fact that his body was in pain. It was decaying.

One of Dumbledore’s incentives was a cure. To make him more human. Jack disdained the idea of wanting to be normal, to fit in, and to not stand out. Hercules did not sought to shed his fate, why should he? But shedding pain would be not unwelcomed.

As a demi-god, did the patron god of heroes everywhere lament in angst to fit it? Jack had no patience for this modern age’s idea of sensitivity. The world was emasculated, and he wanted no part of it.

Leaving Dumbledore’s office, he brooded over the idea of curing himself. Cure would mean no more pain. It would mean he could live. It also meant he would simply fade away.

“No! It is better to burn out than to fade away …” exclaimed Jack loudly. A few people inconspicuously moved away.

Maybe it’d be better if he lived suffering. Was it better to die peaceful, meaningless? Or to embrace a destiny authored by no other god but oneself?

Jack walked on lost in his thoughts.

A hard knock and a fury of parchments and quills flying through the air brought Jack back to his senses. And robbed him of his glasses. He had run into someone.

Bella.

She seemed to fall slowly from Jack’s perspective. He moved forward and caught her before she fell. For a moment Bella seemed at lost to what to say. She did not move or speak.

Jack blinked.

Tearing her arms from his grip, Bella picked up her things from the floor and quickly rushed away. Jack retrieved his fallen glasses and turned to look at the spot where she had left.

She was staring. As the bell rang, she turned and walked off into the midst of the students.

OOC: I will be posting as Lestrange, temporarily. So that I can fit him in Lucius' plot without any trouble. Not that we are progressing well here.

IC:
Rudolphus Lestrange:
Timeline: Days after Lucius' Incident in Great Hall; Class Starts

Headache. And it's not even the middle of the semester. Classes had not even sprouted any homework yet. This is not my year.

The truth beneath all was that he was troubled by the fact Lucius' plan was exposed. He had no idea who was the culprit in this, and the longer he takes to find out and to deal with whoever it was, the more miserable he is gonna be.

A sudden crowd had rushed against the direction he was walking and he had no time to react to it. Being tall was not advantage at all. He preferred he was bulk then he could just walk through them. In truth, they were the ones walking through him, pushing him backwards. It was like going after the flow of the river.

It was getting to his nerves when he could move forward at all nor stop in his tracks. Without much thought, he took his wand out and pointed north of him. Whoever who comes straight at me is gonna get it...

"Stu-" Before he could finish, Bella stood in front of him. He then felt a slight blunt force on his abdomen.

"Dont even try, Rud. Im quicker than you think I am."

Rud..Nobody even calls me that. He smiled. "Down, stunned if I had finished mine, Bella."

"You 'saved' me that morning, and you planned to stun me now. What are you intentions, Lestrange?"

The crowd had dispersed, leaving both alone. "None at all. Things aren't going so well with Lucius."

Lucius and his own world of his accordance...

She turned away. Apparently, she did not like Malfoy's name being mentioned. "Enough with that. My day had been filled by him, and I shall not have more of it anymore, Rudolphus."

As firm as he was, previously, he nodded. "Fair enough."

With her wand already in her robe, she moved quietly past Lestrange. "You'll be a great help to him, Rudolph..." she muttered.

First was Rud. Then Lestrange. Rudolphus. Rudolph. How many names can she conjure from his actual name?

"Hmm?"

"Nothing...Now, excuse me, I have things to be taken care of."

Bella spotted Rudolphus in the middle of the hall as she was walking down the moving stairs. His tall lean body stood out in the crowd. She decided to go up to him, just for the sake of it or also maybe because Bella was not feeling cranky or melancholy at that moment. He looks lost in the huge hall, which is fairly odd as he should be familiar with Hogwarts by now.

She walks fast, already near him and she realizes him pulling out his wand. Bella in respond pulled out hers too.

"Dont even try, Rud. I’m quicker than you think I am."

Her weak smile was a response to his, as he pulled his wand away and playfully raised the white flag.

Bella had always felt a little relax being around him, a little lighter. Moreover, she had always got along with him pretty well since the beginning and was capable of working together (proven by previous plans carried out). Maybe that was the reason why Luc confronted her too when Rudolphus made a mistake, somewhere...somehow. He must have though Bella was involved as well, for the error made.

She inquired his intentions to stun her (or at least, tried to) and listening to his reply, made her recall the meeting (to explain and be informed of what happened to Lucius plan) with him after dinner on the day he was strangled by Lucius. He screwed up and Luc wasn’t happy with it. She looked away and didn’t want to hear any more about him. It was already bad enough that he looks like he’s taking interest on her sister, now with Luc’s plan screwed; things weren’t going to be fine for his acquaintances as even those not involved would be sounded by him.

Feeling for him, she gave him a few words of encouragement (not even sure that it would work) as she walk past him, getting ready to leave. Rudolphus smiled but also had a quizzical expression on his face as she asked to be excused. She didn't know why the look on his face but was not bothered to ask him.

She headed towards the Owlery. She is expecting Rita Skeeter there.
