"And it is your pride and inexperience that will get you killed one day Boy, Please do remember that and maybe it might not end that way" Slytherin snapped at him before rolling his eyes. By this point they were half-way down the long, slippery stairs. Slytherin hated them so, for they were always wet or icy, and made many slip and fall. Most of them were okay, but some weren't. Slytherin looked up to the sky, not in the slightest cold anymore. There were two bodies near him keeping him warm, for one, but second being he believed himself a cold blooded Wizard. He was much like the things he spoke too, and often more than not, felt the way they did. He hated cold weather, but could survive through it.

"Doing a good job helping you? I'm sorry, but I wouldn't trust anyone with my health that I didn't know fully and trust with my life. He might as well be holding your life line with a knife if he doesn't know any proper potions or spells to heel you" He snickered, rolling his eyes. Salazar knew many people he would trust with his health, none of them being of student age. Even the best trainee made him feel less then peppy about them healing him. He felt that a true healer had all the training, and he didn't want to be the person a trainee was training on.
"Boy, I would hold your tongue" Salazar snarled, "I taught Godric many of the things he knows today so do not lash your sharp tongue at me, for I promise you, my tongue comes with more lashings than you could ever hope to whip out! And I make this claim for I do not fear what could come from it" He snarled, eyeing the boy dangerously before looking to the steps as they was slowly coming to an end. By the time they got to the end, he stopped and slipped the girl from her arms.

"She is in your care now," Was all he said as he placed the girl against the boy and slipped his cloak from her arms and put it over his arm and swept past the two into the castle's side door and into the darkness of the castle.

Roxanna stumbled slightly, as she was placed down. She quickly got her balance as best she could on the one leg she was standing on, sometimes being clumsy was darn annoying. In fact all off the time it was annoying. She crossed her arms over her chest, "I don't trust damn everyone, for example I don't trust slytherins" she mumbled angrily. "Trusting people comes with making friends" she again mumbled. She was beginning to think she should have refused his offer for help, and just waited, this was getting annoying. She sighed calming herself down. Roxanna was more that happy to help someone and if helping someone meant having a trainee healer train on her then she was okay with it.

She started slipping the cloak down off her shoulders, as he pulled it off her arms. "Charming" she muttered as he walked away. She shock her head and then turned to Lesuth. "Umm." she trailed out. She felt herself tilting, so quickly grabbed onto his shoulder gently, for support. "Hospital wing, fix this" she pointed to her ankle "crutches, finally walk around properly" she said a small smile appearing on her face. She ran her hand through her hair, it was a slight habit of her. Whenever she talked to people, she would fiddle with her hair.

[lesuthprince]

Lesuth began rolling his eyes through Salazar's speech. This was the Slytherin's usual treatment of him. It was strange how every Slytherin thought Lesuth was boasting about his abilities when he was simply being honest. It was as though they didn't believe him at all. Despite witnessing him work magic several times. Lesuth wasn't a philosopher however, and was not especially keen on the idea of finding a cure to envy. So he ignored the good Professor's long-winded rhetoric about how inept Lesuth was. He heard it alot from seventh years of the Slytherin house. This attack against him was nothing new.

"You are wise, Professor. I understand." Was all Lesuth said as Professor Slytherin left their company. He cared not to utter a farewell to the dear Professor. Instead Lesuth caught Roxanna and gently hoisted her up in his arms.

"Of course," he replied to her. Lesuth began to make his way slowly toward the entrance to the castle. "I did not want to tell you in front of the Professor, but my group, we meet afterhours, in Hogsmeade. I mean, if you had any objections to that, I wouldn't mind if you declined. We might still find some time to use the library to study at times if its too much to ask to break school rules. It's up to you really. I'm afraid I can't allow myself to leave you alone however; anything I can do to prove more helpful than Ole Slithery, I'll do." Lesuth grinned at Roxanna brightly then quickly added, "Professor Gryffindor would want it that way."

[roxannakendall]

Roxanna lifted her arms to wrap around his neck, so that she was more stable, well that was the reason that she was telling herself anyway. She bit her bottom lip gently. She thought over what he said, "Sure, I'm fine with that. I mean rules are meant to be broken, right?" She said with a smile. Her smile brightened at his words, "For him or for you" she said quietly, she gasped not meaning to say it aloud. She rolled her eyes at herself mentally. God she was so stupid sometimes, she should really learn to keep her mouth shut, she might offend someone one day. Having veela blood made her notice good looking men quite a bit and sometimes she had a hard time staying quiet about it.

"So about the study group, does it meet everyday?" she asked, a obvious change to the subject. She let go of her grip on him with one hand and ran the now free one through her hair. Smiling at him gently.She could feel the muscles in her legs were slowly going stiff, but she didn't care. Roxy tapped her hand on her leg, gently to a tune. She looked up at Lesuth, trying to think of something interesting to say, but could not think of anything. So looked back down to the floor again.

[lesuthprince]

Lesuth began to pick up pace as he'd finished divulging what he'd needed to say. He came upon the doors that Professor Slytherin had entered not too long ago. With a gentle whisper, the doors opened themselves for Lesuth. He smirked and trod through the open doors. "Some are minor enough to break, I suppose. The major ones shall not be broken and unanswered by me, actually." Lesuth nodded. "You understand."

"No, I don't like those people that much." Lesuth laughed loudly, "On Saturday mornings, midnight sharp. I have alot of influence here in the castle, but there I have next to none. Because mostly Slytherin students and pure bloods are involved. My parents have practically disowned me for siding with Gryffindor. I would stop going, but the adults that attend teach me so much that Gryffindor and Ravenclaw will not. My curiousity can really best me sometimes."

[colepotter]

Cole had been trailing Lesuth, of course. He was quite surprised when it was Professor Slytherin who came through the castle's doorway and not Lesuth. Cole smirked and greeted his Head of House with a raised glass. He took a sip after the signal and spoke, "Greetings, Professor." Cole could tell he was angry, which made Cole quite excited. He enjoyed those in rages, they were much easier to control. "Care for a drink, sir. I can summon more?"

When Lesuth entered carrying the filth in his arms, Cole showed the slightest hint of distaste. "Well, well. Found ourselves a new birdie to play with, eh Lesuth." Cole was very familiar with the girl, being the unfaithful wretch he was, Cole was probably more familiar with every girl much more than he was with his own girl friend. Cole knew she was half Veela. And he was clever enough to piece together what Lesuth had just invited her to. "No doubt your mistress will take to her kindly, despite a biting despair."

Cole smirked at Roxanna deceptively, he seemed very interested in her. "Having our honeymoon in the castle here, are we? Well, you'll have to stay and drink with me. I wont accept a refusal." Cole waved his wand and with a few quick pops, a small table and glasses with a bottle were summoned. With another sweep of his arm, chairs were summoned. "Sit, please." Cole was obviously oblivious to Roxanna's injury.

[roxannakendall]

"Of, course, I would not break the major rules, those ones are there for our saftey" she said, quickly, rectifying her mistake. "Okay" she said, "I'll have to some how wake up" she said, her tone rolling in amusement. She looked shocked "What!" she exclaimed "Just because you sided with Gyrffindor." She knew that in her family loyalty was basically everything. Although weirdly none of her siblings were in hufflepuff. Tyler, the oldest boy was in Ravenclaw and Danyl was in Slytherin. "Well, you know the saying Curiosity killed the cat, I say Stupidity killed the cat, curiosity was framed. Being curious isn't a bad thing"

Roxanna looked up to see the infamous Cole Potter, she fought the urge to roll her eyes, she knew of how unfaithful he was to Sarah and felt for her, she would hate to have an unfaithful partner. However, she was slightly worried by him, he had a tendency to know things, and she wondered if one of her friends had told him anything. She did not want a Potter knowing her secret. That was for sure. All the women in her family worked hard to keep the Veela secret, a secret.

Her eyes narrowed at him, Birdie! she thought extremely angered. She then looked confused,Mistress, Despair, Birdie she thought, the three things going round her thought again and again."Mistress?" she questioned, she pursed her lips. Roxanna raised her eyebrows at his offer, "Sorry" she said, "The Birdie doesn't want to play" she smirked back, her lips slightly turning into an amused smile. Seeing the chairs, glasses and wine appear, she raised her eyebrows even further, "Geez" she muttered. "Well, I'd love to really I would" she sounded slightly sarcastic. "But I really must get to the hospital wing to to Healer Duboise" she said.

[lesuthprince]

Lesuth nodded. He fell quiet. When you were Head Boy and had to constantly deal with someone like Cole Potter, you would quickly develop a sixth sense. Lesuth frowned but kept walking. He didn't really care about the Slytherin student however. Lesuth never let them get to him. He was more worried about what Roxanna had said to him. When Potter began to speak of drinking however, Lesuth paused. "Potter! That had better not be firewhiskey again!" Lesuth was torn, he really wanted to hurry to the healer to help Roxanna. But the lure of having caught Cole Potter with a forbidden substance within the school was rather intoxicating.

Finally he decided to move on however. Lesuth was nonetheless raged now. First Salazar then Cole, Lesuth could only stand so much pureblood envy in one evening. He wore a dark scowl as he trod through the corridors to the hospital wing. When they had arrived, he tried to silently cast his door opening charm without a wand again. This time, he failed however and walked into the door at a rather quick speed. Lesuth stepped back and looked down at Roxanna with worry. "I'm sorry! Very, very sorry!" Lesuth then tried to edge the door open with his shoulder only to find it was locked. "Damn." Lesuth seemed very distressed now. He was sweating alot. "Uhm. Alohomora." The door flew open and Lesuth entered more carefully this time.

Lesuth brought Roxanna over to a bed and let her down softly. He wiped his forehead with one hand and threw his hair back with another. "Sorry."

[roxannakendall]

Roxanna sighed, she pursed her lips, tucked her hair behind her ear. She tilted her head back, to stretch out her neck, closing her eyes as she did it. "Mistress?" she inquired to Lesuth again, sounding confused. She gave a small huff.

Roxanna smiled amused, "Its okay, I'm fine, I'm quite used to bumping into things" she said, she wasn't really hurt, she'd probably have a few small bruises but she got so many bruises, she never remembered how she got them. She watched as he tried to open the door, and wished she had brought her wand, so she could hep. She could do a few spells wandlessly but not many and hadn't got very strong talent in that area of magic. She smiled at him, and twisted a piece of hair around her finger, then let it fall.

Roxanna felt that she had been placed on one of the uncomfortable hospital wing beds, and moved her uninjured leg up and left her injured leg alone. Not wanting to cause any pain. She smiled at him, "I'm fine, I swear" she bit her bottom lip. She placed her hand on his shoulder, "Why on earth are you apologizing?" she asked.

[alexandraduboise]

Hearing the commotion, Alexandra walked from her office through to the Hospital Wing itself. Seeing the pair, the Head boy, Mr Lesuth Prince and the sixth year Gryffindor prefect, Miss Roxanna Kendall, she sighed. Miss Kendall, was again situated on one of the hospital wing beds, so Alexandra guessed that she was injured in some way or form. Alexandra smiled at the two. "So, whats happened this time Miss Kendall?" she asked gently. Miss Kendall always ended up in the hospital wing some way or another. Alex stood by the hospital bed, and waved her wand over Roxanna, muttering a diagnostic spell. She sighed and stood straight. "Twisted ankle, how did you do that?" she questioned sweetly.

[lesuthprince]

Lesuth shuddered at Roxanna's query. His face grew more pale. If Lesuth could wish harm on any other student, it would be Potter. "Potter is a very envious boy. I am smarter, stronger and Gryffindor. The only talent he possesses is making half-truths seem plausible."

Lesuth scratched the back of his hand nervously, "Er, right. I see. Well, you know. General foolishness, I guess."

Alexandra's entrance gave Lesuth a fright. He hadn't expected anyone to be here. He was immediately impressed when it seemed like the Healer could read minds. It was a magic Lesuth had never been able to do properly. He backed away slowly. Looking at each of them for a moment. "Er. Sorry about the door. I wasn't paying attention."

[roxannakendall]

Roxanna simply smiled at what he said. "Seemed like a bit of an arrogant git, to be quite honest. Seemed like he figured himself to be a bit of a ladies man" she said, slightly annoyed. She was quite sure that Cole knew her secret, from his words, but she hoped she was wrong. Birdie. It was common knowledge that full veelas could transform into bird-like creatures, when angry. "I guess, even if you could call it a talent" she said, pursing her lips.

Roxanna chuckled, and shock her head slightly, "You don't need to apologize, if anything I should apologize to you, you had to carry me, and I'm not that light" she said in a slightly playful tone but still there was a serious undertone. She knew she wasn't fat but not skinny either, she felt she was a good weight. she smiled at him. Straightening up as she saw Ms. Duboise enter and walked over, she smiled bashfully at the healers question. "Tripped up the stairs" she paused "Is that even possible? how on earth can someone trip up stairs, oh well" she said amused, a baffled look appeared on her face. Her gleeful look faltered slightly, as she saw Lesuth back away. But she smiled quickly to hide it. "Are you leaving?" she asked quietly, her tone was soft and gentle.

[lesuthprince]

Lesuth shook his head violently. He didn't actually know Cole Potter too well. He just knew that they were immediate enemies. Lesuth hoped that that was Potter's only talent. Lesuth did not like talking about Slytherin students much. He had tried to get along with them. Even wanted to be one initially. "He says he knows alot about other students. I bet he's lying though."

Lesuth nearly tripped backwards. "Er. No. At least, unless you wanted me to?" Lesuth shrugged. "I mean, as Professor Slytherin said, I'm rather useless at healing. So, I was just getting out of the way." He smirked awkwardly. He wanted to go see what mischief Potter was up to. But other than that, he had no real reason to leave the hospital wing.

[alexandraduboise]

Alexandra smiled at them both and carried on with her work, healing Miss Kendall's ankle. "I don't know Miss Kendall, but you managed it" she said slightly amused. She walked away to grab a pot of ointment, and walked swiftly back. Alex was glad she wasn't clumsy it would have slowed her down for sure. She did wonder if she would be able to talk to Rowena about getting some help maybe. She handled things fine on her own though. When she was done, she waved her wand, and conjured up a pair of crutches, leaving them by Miss Kendall's bed, "Its probably best that you don't try and move for a while - don't want to hurt yourself again do you and it may be healed but it will probably still feel sore." she said a little amused and knowingly then walked away seeing she wasn't needed.
