[RC.Room] In the end...

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash sighed as he walked into the common room. He had spent all day trying to avoid Adam and had finally managed to elude him. However, he remembered with a dejected groan, that Adam was in Ravenclaw as well, and therefore it would be hard, nearly impossible to avoid him completely. Curling up in his favorite chair in front of the fire, he opened a book and began to read. The book was about the Knights Templar, and was very interesting. He was so absorbed in the book, that he almost didn't notice someone enter the common room...

[Felicity Locke]

Sleep, she needed some sleep.

Felicity's body ached, and she felt like she was walking with a haze over her head. Her and Bray had been practicing quidditch all day, and now her arms felt heavy. Her legs still hurt from clutching the broom, but none the less a grin was on her face. She had managed to hit all of the targets today, and Bray had blocked all of her attempts at throwing the quaffle into the goals. Hell yes, they rocked.

Fay ducked her head as she stepped into the common room. Once inside, she stretched her arms above her head and yawned. Her bed was only a staircase away. Walking was almost involuntary, she was hardly aware she walked past anyone. Well, that was until Ash came rushing in and plopped down on one of the chairs. He almost bowled her over, which was bound to wake her up.

Now that she was fully awake from her near-tackled experience, she jumped onto the couch and sat on the back edge of it. The couch weighed more than her, so she wouldn't tip over. She gave Ash a little wave, then turned around so she was facing the portrait entrance again. Merlin's pants, when would Bray be done changing already eh? And he said that she took too long.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash smiled as he saw that it was Fay, "Hey Fay, what have you been up to?" he asked. It felt good to know that he and Fay were on good terms again.

[Felicity Locke]

Her fingers thrummed impatiently against the couch and she stared at the back of the entrance to the Ravenclaw commonroom. Either he was the slowest person on this earth, or he found Ellie wandering around the corridors and was talking to her. Sometimes that couple was so frustrating.

It took her a moment to realize that Ash had spoken to her. She pulled out a frustrated look as she turned a bit to look at him. "I've been practicing Quidditch all day with Bray and the boy still isn't back. It's positively frustrating." She turned back to looking at the wall.

It was weird, the common room was empty except for her and Ash. Most other kids were probably asleep in their dorms, since it was kind of late. And now she wasn't tired, so she had no hopes of getting any sleep tonight. Oh well, she didn't have any classes tomorrow anyway. She was totally going to sleep in.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash laughed, "Why does that not surprise me? I swear, that boy takes longer than I do! Sometimes I wonder if he's not at least bi himself!" The door opened again, and Ash looked up. The color, considering that he had any seeing how pale he was, drained from his face, as the one person he was trying to avoid, walked in...

[adamgrier]

Adam smirked as he saw Ash curled up in his favorite chair by the fire, a girl was there also, but Adam payed no attention to her. His eyes, as usual were on Ash. He smiled that malicious smile as he saw Ash pale even more and instictively shrink back. "Hello love." he purred, "You've been avoiding me. That's not very nice." He walked over to Ash and ran a finger down his cheek, smiling just a little too gleefuly when Ash flinched from his touch.

[Felicity Locke]

"Mm, sometimes I wonder."

Finally! Someone walked in. But..it wasn't who she was looking for. She was prepared to turn back around and rant more with Ash, until she saw his response to the new comer. Act casual. The boy, the freaky stalker boy, didn't seem to notice her. She'd feel offended if this wasn't a serious moment. Fay jumped lightly off her perch and stuck her hand in her back pocket. From someone else's view, it probably looked she just liked to walk like that, too bad for them her wand was stuck back there.

"I'd avoid you too. I don't even know you and you're creeping me out."

Felicity smirked at him and placed her hand on her hip. She just had to keep his attention away from Ash, otherwise something bad might happen. God, she didn't even know this kid and he was giving her chills. She was debating whether or not to charm the boy, but she wasn't entirely sure that it would work.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash darted a glance at Fay, frantically begging her with his eyes to get Adam away from him. He turned away from Adam, and climbed over the back of the chair so that it was between them. "What do you want Grier?" he asked between clenched teeth.

[adamgrier]

Adam smirked, "How many times must we go through this love? I only want one thing. You." he replied, as he walked around to where Ash was. Did the boy honestly think he could get away. Huh, apparently so. Adam mused silently as Ash started to back away. "Ah-ah, none of that now." he said grabbing Ash's arm hard, and jerking him forward. "You remember what happened last time you got away, don't you?"

He looked over at the girl and smirked, pointing his wand at her. He turned back to Ash, and smiled. But it was an evil, malicious smile. Pushing Ash against a wall, he leaned in to whisper in his ear, "Make one sound, and little miss pretty over here gets hexed into next week! Got it?" he hissed.

Ash nodded silently. Adam smiled, "Good boy." He smirked again as he stared at Ash, he wasn't pinning him, but he wasn't providing him with an oppurtunity to escape either. "Now, what fun shall we have today?" he asked, stepping closer. He would've gotten away with more had someone not suddenly intervened.

[Bradyn Reed]

Sometimes there were situations that mattered a bit more than providing a chance for Fay to taunt him with lies and insults, but if he ran into Ellie in the corridors while dragging around his and Fay's quidditch supplies. Then it was definitely their fate that they stop and talk a while before some professor caught them out of their common rooms and sent them back. And that's exactly what happened.

So when Bradyn walked into the common room with a great smile only to see that Fay was standing there with her hand on her wand and a boy was pointing his at her; he had to frown and quickly dropped the stuff to draw his own and point it at the boy. Taking a few slow and careful steps towards them, he eventually came between Fay and him. 'Oh lovely, Ashton's here too, this had to be something to do with that idiotic fool.' He thought through narrowed eyes and glanced quizzically at Fay. Somehow he got the impression that she was talking to Ash, probably trying to help him, and the other boy didn't like it. Silly, silly Fay. Will she never learn?

"If you don't put your wand down this instant, I promise you that you're face will make trolls sick." He hissed quietly with a sharp glare never leaving the boy. No one, ever, messed with his friends. He didn't know, or care, what was going on but it wands were drawn then he was going to take Fay's side.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Suddenly something in Ash snapped. He was not going to let Adam get away with this. He pushed Adam away with an angry snarl, and whipped his wand out. Pointing it at Adam, Ash cirlced around until he was standing slightly in front of Fay. "Alright, you lowlife, piece of filth, I will say this one time and one time only, so listen up!" he snarled at Adam. "I don't give a damn what you do to me, but you mess with my friends, and there will be hell to pay!"

Adam just smirked, and stepped around Ash. Ash growled, and jerked Adam away from Fay, "Dammit Grier, I mean it! You take one more step towards her and I swear I will curse you through the lowest levels of Hell and back!"

Ash turned as someone else entered the room, it was Bray. Giving him a short nod, he turned his attention back to Fay and Adam. "You are the most pathetic excuse for a human being to ever walk the planet!" he snapped. "Do whatever the hell you want to me, but stay away from my friends! Got it?"
