[SC.Room] The Return

[angelinagomez]

The portait slammed open as Angelina Gomez, formerly known as Angelina Carson, glided gracefully into the room. She stood in the center of the room, looking as if a spotlight were shining on her, as usual. Hands placed on her slim hips, and her usual smug smirk in place she glanced around at all her housemates. Some first years stared in awe, they had heard stories of Angelina. She smirked at them, "I know I'm beautiful, but it's rude to stare you know." she snapped. They quickly scampered off.

Angelina stood there, watching them. She laughed. It was good to be back. She was ready to take her place as Queen once more. When Angelina got through with that Erys girl, she wouldn't know what had hit her.

Angelina's hazel eyes searched the common room, not seeing Erys she walked over to her old chair by the fire. Some third year was sitting in it. Angel glared down at her.

The girl glared back, "What?"

Angel rolled her eyes and sneered, "You're in my chair, that's 'what.' Now move it you little brat!"

The third year glared defiantly, "Make me!" her words were challenging, yet her tone wavered.

Angelina smirked, she already had control over this one, she could feel it. "With pleasure." She gave a sickening sneer as she pulled out her wand.

The girl paled and jumped up, "Here, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sit in your chair!"

Angelina smiled and sat down, "Of course you didn't. Now tell me, can you do me a little favor?" her tone was friendly, but the look in her eyes made it clear that this was not a request, but an order.

The girl clearly knew this, for she nodded. "Of course." Angelina smiled, she had more power over this girl than she thought.

Angelina leaned forward, "Find Erys Grace and tell her to meet me here."

The girl nodded, "Is that all?"

"Yes. Now go." Angelina replied. The girl scampered off to do her 'Queen's' bidding. Angelina leaned back against the cushions, smirking in a self-satisfied way as she waited for Erys Grace, the self-proclained 'Queen of Slytherin' Not for much longer darling Angelina thought, smiling darkly to herself. That title was mine, and it will be mine once more. No matter what it takes.

[Erys Grace]

See, there were rules. They may not exactly be written down, but they existed. Step down from your pedestal, its up for grabs for anyone who deserves it. Or anyone who manages to fight her way to the top. In Erys' case, it was both. And she knew that if you expected to survive in your house, you couldn't boss everyone around. Sure, there were the few that she required assistance from, but they were played into doing it for her. To be cunning was one thing, to be intelligent was another.

So you could imagine her surprise when a third year - Slytherin, no doubt - nearly ran in to her, scared so much she reeked like the fresh odor of piss. After babbling what Angelina Gomez had told her, the girl ran off, but not before a few comforting words from Erys. How could you expect to lead everyone if you insulted a mere child, especially one from your own house? Funny, how everyone just expected to waltz up to her and get their rank back these days. So Miss Angelina wanted to title back? She'd have to fight for it. Rolling her eyes with a laugh at the mere foolishness of it - as even she knew not to underestimate anyone, not even those in her house - Erys Grace sauntered into to the Slytherin common room, an expectant look on her face. Wand tucked in her sleeve, for quick drawing, in case Angelina planned to take the nancy-boy way out and hex her before they even spoke.

"Yes, Gomez?" Erys questioned, her voice dull with uninterest, arms crossed in front of her chest. "Was there something you needed of me?" She might have been the leader once before, but there was someone new in charge now. Which was probably the reason Angelina called her here; there was going to be a fight, now wasn't there?[/color]

Angelina looked up as Erys entered the room, she laughed silently to herself, she knew Erys would expect her to start shouting hexes. But Angelina was cunning, more cunning that Erys gave her credit for. So, she did what Erys wouldn't expect. She smiled, "Erys Grace?" she asked with a pleasnt smile Her face was open and friendly, her expression never betraying her true feelings. Masks. Angelina had become a master at putting these in place. "I'm Angelina Gomez. I heard you were the new 'Queen' and I wanted to wish you luck. May your reign be as strong as mine was."


((OOC: Just a note... Angelina is an incredible actor, anything she says people pretty much believe. So, if you don't mind, I'd prefer if Erys remain oblivious to Angelina's true intentions. For the time being anyway.))

[Erys Grace]

{ Kay, understood. ^^ But Erys isn't that gullible as to believe she'd be wished good luck by someone who used to be queen. }

Arching an eyebrow at the pleasant air in the other girl's voice, Erys Grace continued to stare, as if waiting for the punch line. Something was off here, she could taste it in the air. Everyone in Slytherin knew how the game worked, and Angelina wasn't the only player making the rounds. "I know who you are." She said simply, waving the introduction away as if it were a plate of seafood. Shudder, seafood. Didn't sit well in her stomach. Anywho, there was something about the way the other seventh year spoke that triggered suspicion in her mind. "I'm not new." Her tone was flat, "And I dont go throwing the title in everyone's faces. But I thank you for your good will." A smirk flashed in her eyes, but the expression on her face was calm and collected.

"Heres the scoop, sweet pea." Erys drew closer, slinging a casual arm around Angelina's shoulder as she did so, "I've already graduated, see.. The only reason I'm sticking around is to do more studying, and then I'm the Dark Arts Apprentice. So my 'reign', or whatever you called it, has nearly come to its end. A pity too, however, many of these children," Emphasis on children here, folks, "Dont deserve the title. Again, a pity; it was a good run." She technically wasn't even in the seventh year any more, she had her certificate and everything. But if she had to fight tooth and nail in case Angelina tried something - expect the unexpected, she always said - then Erys would do so. For now, though, she had no idea what Gomez's intentions were.

"It was sweet of you to scare the living daylights out of that kid and have them find me just to tell me that." Erys coo'd, her voice sweet.[/color]

[Angelique Juliette]

Angel was walking down the hall when she was almost run down by some younger year. She looked petrified of something. Had something happened? Had some fool from another house dared to try their hand at screwing with Slytherins? She doubted that, but before she could ask the girl she was already gone. Angel thought maybe she was a little off or something so Angel made her way back to the common room this night she hoped things would be calm because lately the common room simply seemed to be used for fighting among themselves.

Upon entering she saw her best friend Erys was there speaking to...Angels eyes opened wide as she looked to the girl with the familiar face. She knew right away this couldn't be good. walking to Erys' side she looked from one to the other trying to judge their faces but could see nothing "Hey Erys what's going on?" she asked as she looked to the other girl trying to remember her name but failing miserably not that it mattered much to her anyway.

[ralphiekingston]

Sat in the dark corner of the room was none other than Ralph Twistleton although everyone called him ralph people he was attracted to or thought they were higher in authority than him. Before releasing a smirk which could be heard around the common room he was quite ammused by the 'Queens speaking' aka Erys and Angeline speaking after letting out his smirk he looked around to notice Angelique Juliette."Hello Ladies" he said as he could be barely seeen in the corner.
