Karis had been so caught up with classes this week that she didn’t have time to write letters to her family. Normally she wrote one for her parents and brother, and one each to her two sets of grandparents, and every month she sent one to her aunt’s and uncles, not to mention her three cousins. She didn’t have to, but she felt like she was keeping more in touch with her family if she wrote to them often. Her family were tight-knit and she didn’t want to lose that closeness.
Last but not least, was her weekly letter, even if it was a day or two late.
“Ma, Pa and Ell.
First of all, I’m sorry about this letter being a day or so late, i’ve been swamped with classes and studies so I haven’t had the time to send you this letter until now. I hope everything is fine back in Wales, I miss you all so much, and Wales of course too. How is my favourite sheep? I hope she’s well and isn’t misbehaving too much for you. Give her a kiss from me, I hope she misses me as much as I miss her!
Well, I’ve been studying as hard as possible, and i’ve been doing well in classes, so no worries on that, except I blew up my potion in Potions class a few days ago. I misheard the teacher, and he wasn’t impressed in the slightest. Yes Ell, I know you’ll be pleased to hear I ended up covered in purple goop. But anyway, enough about classes.
Ma, Pa, I gained a new friend! His name is Noel, and he’s in the same year and house as me, yet we’ve never really spoken before. I dropped my books and he helped me pick them up. We ended up talking for hours and going on a picnic. He’s really nice
Anyway, I must be off, I have to actually post this now before it ends up being another few days late.
Love you all, Karis xxx”
Sealing it in the envelope she smiled and made her way to the owlery, smiling all the way. With her hand full of letters to various family members, she trudged up the owlery steps to the top floor to where her owl Archemedes normally knuzzled. Looking over to her spot, she was there, as per usual.
“Hey cutie, are you ready to send these for me?” she asked walking up to her quietly to not disrupt the other sleeping owls. Archemedes opened her eyes and shook herself from her sleep before opening her beak to accept the letters. Putting the letters into her mouth, Karis gave her owl a stroke.
“Good girl, now you know the order don’t you? I’ll leave you a treat for when you get back okay?” she cooed to her bird before she spread her wings and flew off into the distance. |

Morgana had just finished writing a letter to her dearest daddy thanking him for the wad of money he had sent to her yet again this week. Sure enough, she got the same wad of money every week. Sealing it up, she rolled up the small scroll and walked up to the owlery. She wasn't in a pleasant mood today, and hopefully nobody would cross her.
Walking up the arguous steps, she heard somebody talking to themself. Frowning, she tilted her head a little to try and hear more clearly. Failing, she walked up to the top floor to see a hufflepuff talking to an Owl. Making her steps louder so she was heard by the 'puff, she gave her an evil glare, which was already on her face, like usual.
"You must be mad, talking to animals like their humans?" She laughed. |

(OOC: I am Both Karis & Morgana, so Instead of switching between to two, i'm just going to God-Mod Morgana [she will have green writing and Karis will have purple] )
Karis turned around to hear the dreaded voice of Morgana Croft, a spoilt psychotic madam that was feared by students throughout the school. Even Karis was scared of her, and that was saying something. She had heard gossip about her torturing a fellow Hufflepuff who went down near the dungeons and did alsorts of horrid things to her. It was just Karis' luck to bump into her here, she'd managed to avoid her so far throughout the castle.
"Urm, well she is my pet, she still understands Morgana" she tried reasoning with her, be she knew no matter what she said, she'd be trouble in the eyes of that Slytherin.
Morgana was in a foul mood and she swung for Karis unexpectedly making contact with the side of her face hard. Lifting her hand to cover her face after the sharp impact, Karis felt an extreme pain in her eye and nose. Looking at her hand, there were a few small splatters of blood which indicated her nose was bleeding. Her eye had begun to swell already and she could feel it bulging, it began to close up due to the swelling and she knew it would look ugly.
"Hmm, well it's lucky your pet just flew away or i'd of eaten her" she spat angrily, and she seemed to float to the ground and transformed into her Animagi, a Cobra snake. Hissing now, she neared towards Karis. She backed up against the wall with a look of horror and tried to get up onto the window cill to keep her legs away from the serpent.
"Morgana, please, What do you want?" she shouted at Morgana. Nerves were becoming more obvious now, and her voice was as shaky as she was. She wasn't afraid of snakes, but she was afraid of Morgana, and Morgana as a snake was even worse.
Morgana just hissed at her and suddenly sprang for Karis' leg, which she missed. Slithering a little nearer, she sprang for it, fangs exposed and managed to bite onto Karis's Leg. Letting out a howl of pain, she smacked her scaley head hard enough to get her off her leg. Morgana let go and turned back into her human form.
"That's just a warning not to ever mess with me, you pushover Hufflepuff" she sneered. Standing there with her arms crossed, she watched as Karis limped to the top of the stairs, two fang marks pierced into her leg and blood dribbles staining her leg. Turning around she clutched at her leg.
"Your a horrible person Morgana. You can be a slytherin without being mental you know" she snapped back at her. Morgana's face turned from sheer delight to a face contorted with anger.
"You should learn when to shut up Karis" she said leaning forward and pushing Karis. Karis' eyes widened with fear as she could feel herself about to tumble backwards. If she fell down the stairs she would do some serious damage or even die. They were hard concrete steps, and there were a lot of them.
Feeling herself fall backwards, she grabbed onto the wall in attempt to keep herself upright, but her fingers didn't grasp hold hard enough and she began to fall again. |

Ash asceneded the stairs towards the owlery, he didn't have a letter to send, he just wanted to visit Aphrodite. However, as he went up, he heard voices, the cold, cruel voice of Morgana and the scared voice of...Karis? "Oh no..." Ash raced up the stairs just in time to see Karis fall back, he dashed forward, managing to catch her just in time. He gently grabbed her around the waist, supporting her weight with his arms. Looking down he saw the marks on her legs. Ash looked up, eyes wide. "Karis, what happened!?"
Then, he saw her. Morgana. The worst psychopath to ever walk the corridors of Hogwarts. "I should've known." he hissed angrily. "What the hell makes you think you can just attack other students when they haven't done anything to you!" he snarled. "You don't own the school, you freaking psychopath!" He turned back to Karis, "We need to get you to the Hospital Wing, now."

Karis cringed as she knew she was going to fall. Waiting for the impact she shut her eyes tight before being grabbed around the waist. Shocked, she turned around to see Ashton holding her up.
"Bloody hell, Thanks!" She gasped. Now able to keep her balance, she stood upright and kept one foot on one step, and the other on the next step down.
Listening to Ash scold Morgana, she pulled at his arm and tried to ascend down the stairs.
"Let's just go Ash" she whispered to him as she turned around to be behind him.
"Your really stupid for a Ravenclaw, loser" Morgana scowled. |

Ash scoffed at Morgana, "Oh hush darling, I have no desire to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!" he turned back to Karis, "Come on, let's go. Wait, hold on..." Raising his wand he placed a shield around them, so that if Morgana decided to attack, the spell would bounce off. "Ready?"
OOC: haha! LOTR rocks! I love that line... sorry Lizzer (if you're reading this) , I just had to use it!
