Karis stumbled out of the owlery as quick as possible, what with the two holes in her leg from Morgana’s snake bites. Her leg was stinging more as it hit fresh cold air and she winced in pain. Attempting to cover her face with her hand to cover her now purple and black eye and cheek, her touch against it hurt and felt tingly.
Looking back up into the owlery, she heard Morgana laughing, and Karis shook her head in disgust at how someone could be so violent and evil for no reason what so ever. She had been beaten up because she talked to her owl Archemedes. She couldn’t see the fairness in it. Her leg became more painful everytime she tried to walk on it, the wound throbbed.
She didn’t care about the pain anymore, she just wanted to get away from that stupid owlery. She was just glad Archemedes had flown away to deliver the letters before that evil witch came and began torturing her which she promised she would. She didn’t want anything, or anyone, except Noel. Why, she didn’t know, maybe because they were great friends and had kissed, and she was crushing on him now, and there was something different with him compared to all her other friends.
Walking down the owlery steps and heading back to the castle, she turned around again to see Morgana standing triumphantly in the owlery top floor window with her arms crossed and a blank expression on her face. Karis inwardly cursed her and began to realise she forgot to use magic against her. Stupid idiot, why didn’t I curse her? Turning back around she stopped suddenly to be standing face to face with someone. |

All morning, Noel had been trying to find an excuse to talk to Karis. It wasn't going to be about anything particular, he just wanted to have another chat with her. She'd been on his mind all day and everyday since their little 'picnic'. With the weather being colder now, he wasn't really going to be in the mood to be outside. Noel personally didn't like the cold that much.
He figured that Karis would be at the Owlery, for she seemed to be there a lot. Running a hand through his hair, and flattening his clothes down a bit, Noel made his way towards the Owlery, hoping to find Karis there. He wasn't necessarily watching where he was going, more lost in thought. He knew the way to the Owlery, for he'd been there before.
Hands in his pockets, a slight smile played on his face as he began thinking of his and Karis's little 'picnic'. Suddenly, he was face to face with someone. And it was a particular someone indeed. "Karis!" He said joyfully; that is, until he got a better look at her. His smile melted, when he noticed how beaten and bruised she was.
"What the-?! What happened?!" Noel asked, gently grabbing her arms, as if it would help. Did she fall down some stairs? Did someone attack her? He suddenly realized his shoulders were raised with tension. Relaxing a bit, he waited for an explanation. Once again, he came to a realization. He was acting like a protective boyfriend; which one, he wasn't her boyfriend. Not that he knew of, that is.

She had managed to not cry until now. Coming face to face with the one person she wanted most, the one person she needed most, she looked into Noel's eyes for a moment before tears streamed down her face. Somehow she felt a little better seeing him in the flesh.
"It was Morgana. She's mental!" she said, gesturing to the Owlery window. As she twisted to gesture, her leg twinged and she cringed in pain. Grabbing her leg, she covered the fang holes.
"I missed you Noel" she said simply, looking at the ground. Why she said that in this situation she would never know. Maybe it was like when you were drunk and you tell the truth, who knows. A blast of cold december wind hit her face and she winced at the sharp sting in her eye and on her cheek.
"How does it look?" |

He could now see tears falling from her eyes, causing Noel to feel bad and hold her. Why the hell would someone want to beat up Karis? "Morgana?" Holding her at arm's length, he examined her once again. Bending down, he planned to take a look at her leg while she grabbed it. Of course, he was no doctor, but he could probably just look and see.
Her words made him smile, and standing up, his smile grew bigger. "Only after a couple of hours? We had a class together just a while ago." The sixth years had their 'study' time now, but most just took to doing whatever they wanted to do. Of course, Noel missed her too. That's why he was off looking for her, hoping they'd be able to hang out for a while. "Not to good.. I think we should get you down to the Hospital Wing, pronto." He replied, concerned.

Even through her pain, Noel still made her smile. It was obvious they had missed each other even after a short period, but it didn’t hurt in saying it did it? When he bent down to check out her leg, she turned away, she couldn’t look at it. Wounds on other people she could look at all day, but something that had been inflicted on her she couldn’t stomach for some reason. Looking back at him once he had stood up again and she raised her eyebrows as he said they should go to the Hospital wing. Karis shook her head to each side, and put her hands out to him, signalling that he shouldn’t.
“No, No. I’ll be fine, I just want to get back to the common room, i’ll be alright” she said. She pulled her grey jumper down a little to make herself a little more presentable and not so ‘victim’ looking. She didn’t want to look like a damsel in distress but she looked into Noel’s eyes and knew he wouldn’t take no for an answer. Looking down for a moment, she looked at his feet, as she didn’t want to look anywhere near her own legs, before looking to the side in the distance and giving in with a huff.
“Alright, you win, but please say you’ll stay with me?” she pleaded. |

A slight smirk formed on his face when Karis rejected the idea of going to the Hospital wing, though it faded. Giving her the 'I-don't-think-so' look, he shook his head. "There is no way I'm going to standby and watch you suffer. I'd probably go insane if that happened." Perhaps he was trying to pull off the 'tough-guy' image, but on the inside, he was worried frantic. And it was said in his eyes too.
There was no way that Noel was going to watch Karis suffer, and just seeing her beaten killed him inside. His 'tough' outlook soon softened when she'd ask if he would stay with her. "Of course I will. You can't possibly think I'd leave you." He replied, smiling.

Karis watched Noel’s eyes as he gave her the look and smiled. She could tell he cared for her, and she was so greatful, and pleased that he did. When he said he’d go insane, she blushed. She was happy that he was disgusted or grossed out at the state of her face and leg. She just wanted to kiss him and hug him again to let him know she would be alright.
She gave him a nod, and began walking again, still wincing a little in pain. It seemed the wounds on her leg had stopped bleeding, but it would still need seeing too. The blood that had trickled down her leg had now dried and was now dark red and crusty. Hobbling a few steps, it seemed like she was dramatising it, but Morgana must of bitten into a muscle or nerve because it was way to painful to just be two bites. |

Noel could see the pain in Karis's face, and couldn't think of what to do! He was so afraid she would be scared for life or something dramatic like that. While his mind ran in circles, he realized he didn't know exactly what happened, besides the wretched Morgana attacking her. "What exactly happened?" He asked, the concerned tone returning.
While he waited for a response, Noel began thinking of ways he could help currently. He could.. carry her there? It sure would be awkward, but it would relieve some of the pain. Without thinking, he opened his mouth. "Do you want me to carry you there, or something? Because you just look like you're in dreadful pain right now." Sure it was an odd question, but Noel wanted to make sure Karis wasn't in any more pain than she was in now. Of course, there was a little pink on his cheeks for asking such an idiotic question, but they soon disappeared at the thought of Karis being in pain.

Karis just closed her eyes for a moment to control the pain before looking back to Noel.
"Well, let's just say she keeps to her slytherin roots enough for my liking" she stated. Hobbling for a few more steps, she stopped when Noel asked if she wanted to be carried. Karis looked at him for a moment before bursting out laughing.
"I'll be alright" she said chuckling.
