[Corridors] Kill the King (open)

[Nathan Holloway]

The castle was going to pot, his education was being ruined, the standing of Hogwarts effected and Nathan knew that whenever he went for a job in the ministry they would always look at him and say ‘He was at school during the time when Hubbles was in charge. He would be no good at all.’ That was the Slytherin’s worse fear that he will be tainted by association and worst of all the association with a Hufflepuff who got a bit too big for his boots. This atmosphere and opinion of the school he was residing in was one of the reasons for Nathan to have a scowl on his face. It did not matter that the boy truly did not know how to smile; he would sadistically laugh with Evra about lacking the muscles to do such a mundane task as to smile.

And so not wasting the energy to even attempt to smile the Slytherin barged his way through the crowds in the corridor, hitting first years in the back of the head as they walked slowly, made comments about the state of the way some of the female students in the school where dressed (or as his comments went how little clothing they had on) and as Vaid and Hubbles walked laughing down the corridor in the distance the Slytherin shot the Hufflepuff’s a look that dripped his hatred and vindictiveness.

He knew this reign of tyranny had to end, he knew that the time of the yellow house and all this talk of ‘badger pride’ was over. Because that was the moment that Nathan Holloway decided that he would do whatever it would be in his power to make the situations in the castle that little bit worse, he would drag the headmasters name and precious house through the dirt and make him, his mud blood wife and half breed sister wish they could change their name simply to escape the humiliation!

The Slytherin was so lost in his own little world of hatred and evil plotting that he was no longer paying attention to the busy corridor ahead of him and in Hogwarts that was never a wise move.

(pfffft no idea what I am doing in this thread so yeah...anyone fire away with any idea haha!)

[Angelique Juliette]

Angelique didn't even know why she bothered to go to class anymore. Most of the time they would simply sit in the rooms while the Professors droned on for a minute or two and then all chaos would break out in the halls. There would be screaming, and running, and loud bangs. Then things would end the Professors would tell them to sit there quietly until things died down and when they did they would be dismissed having not learned a thing. Of course Angel was never the GO HOGWARTS girl. Most of the time she was plotting on ways to leave that wouldn't endanger her trust fund but now she was stuck here and wasn't learning a thing.

Today she had been in Potions and in no time at all they were getting dismissed. All of this hoopla here in the castle was getting ridiculous and in the midst of the chaos the Headmaster was off somewhere loosing his mind if the rumors going around were true. Even now her parents themselves were worried about the goings on. They had even been to the ministry about it but then things seemed like they were being hushed up because her parents got "no comment" every where they turned. Things just kept going from bad to worse and Hubbles the moron wasn't lifting a finger to help.

After class was let out Angel decided to walk the halls. Of course doing so now was a danger but she was feeling rather reckless maybe she would find some trouble to get into. As she walked she thought about everything that had been going on the school wasn't the same place she once knew it to be. Yes, she hated the place often thought of burning it down but at this point the place was too pathetic to burn down. Now she wasn't doing the torturing the paintings were.

Her mind off in some other place she didn't see where she was going that could only lead to disaster and it did when she knocked into someone who had been standing there. "Oh crap" she muttered as her head made contact with something hard. Trying to hold herself up when she was about to fall she took hold of something that felt like it might have been a shirt. With and oof and a plop Angel ended up on the floor the place she didn't want to be. "Damn" she swore mad at herself for not paying heed to where she was going.

[Nathan Holloway]

For Nathan poise and procession was everything, the ability to keep his head held high even in moments of complete diversity he would always try and keep a cool and composed head. Even now as someone barged into him he tired to keep himself standing tall but his plan of standing on his own two feet was drastically shattered when his assailant reached out and took hold of his shirt. Forcefully reaching down Nathan tried to remove the girls grasp from his shirt and just about succeed before she dragged him to the ground with her.

A sneer spread across the Slytherin’s face as his dark cold eyes moved down to look upon his clumsy attacker noting that it was one Angelique Juliette who was a year older then her. This was not to be born, Slytherin’s where meant to be the best thing in this school and here was this girl making them look like bumbling buffoons of Hufflepuff’s. Desperately trying to straighten out his robes and now creased shirt Nathan looked up from the girl and looked nervously around the corridor in fear of losing face, that fact that no one was looking at him was a god sent in his mind.

“Quickly get up off the floor.” Nathan stood with a straight back, his head held high and his hands fixed firmly at his side. She was the one who walked into him so she can get herself up, simple as. “You’re going to get yourself dirty and our house name.”

[Angelique Juliette]

Angel didn't enjoy falling onto the floor, it was cold, dirty, and constantly trotted upon by the impure. This was most certainly the last place she wanted to be though it was where she ended up regardless. Normally she paid close attention to where she was going the better not to walk into anyone unsavory but this day her mind had been on other things and she let her guard down this once. The shirt she grabbed on to happened to belong to a boy. Once on the floor Angel took her time to look up and see her own fellow Slytherin sneering at her. Staring at her as if she were being dense or something like she wanted her butt to meet floor. Angel simply rolled her eyes. How the heck had it offended him that she had fallen. After all he got up so fast you would have thought his bum was on fire.

Then to top it off he started demanding she hurry up and get up too. Poor thing he seemed to be embarrassed by her dilemma. Not very pleased by the lack of chivalry set forth by her house mate (he hadn't even offered to help her up) Angel didn't make any attempts to move from her spot even though she was pissed at being on the floor. He pissed her off far worse. Angel crossed one arm over the other and looked up at him. "Does it bother you that I'm the one on the floor, does it embarrass you. I mean please tell me that you have never in your life fallen so that I might hang my head in shame." She said this her voice rising with every syllable uttered. "Oh perfect one teach me so that I may never again dare to fall on the floor." Angel was trying to draw attention since it seemed to be just the thing her house mate was trying to avoid.

She couldn't believe the sheer audacity of him. Angel heard some footsteps and was glad to see she now had an audience of Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs. and Gryffindors. Smiling wickedly she started again "can you believe him I fall and almost hurt myself and he's concerned with how it makes him look not even offering to help me up. Now I ask you though you may not like me due to house affiliations but tell me how would it make you feel to be treated so shabbily. Of course I should not expect so much from someone so cruel." Many looked at her and nodded in agreement he wanted no audience well he got one. Angel feeling proud of herself now got up off the floor and looked at her house mate. "Now you should feel embarrassed."

[Nathan Holloway]

“Have you quite finished?” Nathan’s eyes had not moved off Angelique for the whole of her mini speech and as he spoke it was clear to note the hint of disappointment in his voice. The disappointment that someone who bore the prodigious symbol of Salazar Slytherin would sink to such lows of attempting to publicly humiliate one of its own house was clear in his cold voice as his perfect pronunciation stressed each syllable in annoyance.

He was not sure how it had happened but this girl seemed to believe that he was embarrassed by her acting like a fool. Embarrassment was not an emotion that Nathan ever felt simply because he never put himself in situations or did things that would make the colour to flush to his cheeks. Even now with an audience of other houses (thank Merlin for there being no other Slytherin’s to see this girl taint the house name) Nathan had his head held high, back straight and his breathing was calm. Slowly raising his left eyebrow the proud Slytherin inhaled deeply before giving Angelique another scornful look.

Had she not gone to the extreme of parading her wrong and presumptuous acquisitions that were making them and their house look ludicrous in front of everyone on else was stupid. Maybe this was her attempt of passing off her own embarrassment onto someone else to try and save a little bit of face. Nathan for one was not going to be her safety net, he was no ones safety net and so without another word other then a slight smirk Nathan walked past Angelique, pushed his way through the small crowd and began to make his way down the corridor of the castle.

[Angelique Juliette]

He asked if she was finished. Angel simply smiled, and gave him another eye roll. Who the hell did that twit think he was. He was being such a jerk over an accident. Yes she knew that Slytherins could be hard to deal with, but sheesh this guy took the cake. "Oh yes my dear I am quite finished, I did thoroughly enjoy that. Having the others look at you that way, it was was rather thrilling since you're being such an idiot." Angel wasn't usually one to hold back her tongue especially if she thought someone else was in the wrong.

He seemed to enjoy throwing her dirty looks. If Angel was some little Hufflepuff (most knew they had no back bone) she might cower at the sight of his looks but Angel was queen of dirty looks she simply scowled at him and gave it right back. She had no idea who he thought he was acting high and mighty.

The little brat started to walk away from her. Angel looked after him and though she figured it would be best to stay where she was this need took over her and she began to follow. Leaving the crowd parting behind her, Angel walked and caught up to him. "Hey you know I've never met anyone with a nastier attitude than yours. I mean really I've met a few pieces of work from our own house but you're horrid. I mean really I knocked into you by mistake and you make it seems as if I've gone and killed your owl or something. People fall, I'd love to meet the person who was so perfect they never tripped, or fell over. I'm sure even you have fallen once in your life. So why act like such a fool?" He made her curious.

[Nathan Holloway]

Nathan had enjoyed the few moments of silence that he was granted as he walked down the corridor of the castle. He enjoyed the ability to push through the crowds, to be able to elbow Gryffindor’s in the ribs and stamp on the feet of Hufflepuff’s. It allowed him to vent off a bit of steam that had been caused by the fool of a house mate of his. The problem was that the very reason he was barging through the crowds in the corridor seemed to have an inability to leave him alone and before he knew what was happening that annoying raspy voice was echoing off the cold stone walls around him.

Stone cold Nathan however would never show his frustration on the outside and so he slowly blinked, kept his head held high and tried to filter out her ridiculous and pointless question. To him there seemed no point to it at all, so was clearly stating the obvious and of course Nathan prided himself on being cold and never showing a drop of friendliness so everything she was stating was not new to him. Then came the question about falling over and the scowl that filled his face vanished ever so slightly as his eyebrows raised further up into his forehead as he looked over at the girl as if she was mad.

“Of course I have fallen oven in my life.” His harsh, deep voice sounded out and as always it was void of emotion. “When I was younger and learning to walk and my balance was not perfect.” He shot Angelique a cold glare. “But I am now older, know how to walk and actually look where I am going unlike some.”

Nathan was not one for light banter, even with people he claimed to like and so he had no intension of hanging around in the corridor like some groupie and sit and talk to this girl longer then he had to! So without even a second though Nathan continued to make his way down the corridor although he had a sinking feeling the girl would not leave it there.

[Angelique Juliette]

He stopped at first she didn't think he would, but he listened to what she had to say. That was a good sign, because he had to see that he was acting sort of ridiculous getting mad at something petty as her knocking into him on accident. It's not like it was Gryff or a Puff or a Claw that did, she was one of his own housemates.

When he spoke she figured it would be to tell her that he saw reason. Then he went off again trying to make it sound like she was some sort of retard that didn't know how to walk and talk at the same time. Angel was shocked that someone could be so nasty, and unyielding. Yes they were both Slytherins, yes they weren't anyone's idea of the nice kids but sheesh they should at least show some respect toward one another.

Again he rudely started to walk away from her. Angel didn't even bother stopping him this time he wanted to be such an ass let him she wasn't a puppy following around its master. So she didn't bother to go after him instead she turned to walk the other way.
