A Lockdown? What a Drag.

[Sonja Wright]

Following Reina's lead, Sonja giggled too when Reina whispered back, while looking Sora up and down. Sonja quickly tried to come up with an alibi for them.
"We were shopping. No where even near the Shack. Probably as far away from it as you can get from it. Then we came back a few minutes early. We were on our way back to the Common Room when we heard the announcement about the lockdown and we're been in here ever since," Sonja said, glancing sideways at Reina and smiling. While most of it was true, the parts she'd made up weren't that far-fetched. It seemed like a solid enough alibi for them.

[diablo]

Reina nodded. Then whispered in Sonja's ear again. She needed their alibi to be air tight. She glanced at Sora and looked shocked like she didnt just realized something til now, nodded her head and giggled.

"Yes, except we didn't buy anything and we went to a bunch of stores and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, because we were just goofing around. We were being so silly and having so much fun we don't even remember which stores we went into and which we just looked at."

[Sonja Wright]

Sonja laughed as well, as if remembering how much fun they had had in Hogsmeade.
"Oh yeah. All I remember is just laughing and having so much fun," Sonja said. But now maybe she was over doing it. They were, after all, moody Slytherin girls. Would anyone really believe they had that much fun? Probably.

"Of course, Hogsmeade isn't really that much fun you know," Sonja said casually and leaned over to Reina, adding, "Rather be in Knockturn Alley," in a low voice so no one else would hear.

[diablo]

Reina caught was Sonja was saying. Reina glanced around and made sure no one was listening in though she only spoke low enough for Sonja to just barely hear her.

"You're right. We were in Hogs world laughing, making fun of everyone, and causing trouble. Then we went to Knockturn. Even if they went around asking people in knockturn if we were there they wouldn't say anything to anyone. No one talks in Knockturn."

[dinn]

Doggerel almost slapped that insolent little witch. "Reina, for the sake of sanity and everything that is not dead and bleeding, will you shut it!" he commanded emphatically. "This is your final warning," he growled, meaning every word of it. What he would do to her if she didn't close her mouth and keep it that way would likely get him fired. But that didn't seem so bad after all of this.

The yelling seemed to be harrowing some of the students and Torque just wandered in from whereever he had skulked off to. "I thought everyone was accounted for, Jones!" he yelled at Charlie. He felt like he was in an insane asylum.

"NOW," he said in a commanding voice to the room while he still could, "They're going to want to talk to some of you and you won't have much say in it. Only tell them what you want to - remember, as minors you don't actually have to say anything without a parent or guardian present. Aurors are pushy blighters, don't let them hassle you."

[daniel]

Daniel could string two and two together with Elliot's information. It was quite obvious that the auror's were coming specifically to talk the the Slytherins, for they were the trouble makers. But, to kill? Now, that was going perhaps a bit far in Daniel's mind. He hadn't gone out to Hogsmeade, and therefore had no reason for speaking to some person wanting to hear about a death that he hadn't been there for.

Daniel decided, for the time doing, to give into a nervous habit. Clicking his fingers against the wooden part of the chair in a not so very rhythmical pattern, he turned his head towards the fire. Stereotypical government...

[Sora Blake]

Sora scoffed as their head of house continued to be annoyed by Reina and Sonja, who continued to whisper to each other which made Sora wonder what they were actually talking about, making him much more suspicious of them. He walked from his position towards the other side of the room,

"You should've slapped her..." he said to Professor Elliot as he passed by him. He took his spot against the wall, his eyes never leaving the pair of Slytherins he was most suspicious of.

[diablo]

{Coolies! }

Reina ignored her head like usual. She popped her head up and made a zipper noise wile pretending to zip her lips, but put her head back down to continue talking to Sonja. Reina watched Sora cross the room and thought she saw his mouth move to their Head. So Sora and our Head have some kind of alliance. No wonder he's so much harder on me. Stupid Prof. Doggerel. Stupid Sora! What's with him anyways.

"Sonja, what the heck is up with Sora anyways? Why is he so upset at me? Is his grandmother that stupid witch who died?"

[Sonja Wright]

"Who cares?" Sonja asked, raising an eyebrow and smiling. For sure, she didn't care. "He's probably just totally in love with you and now he's just a bitter little girl," she added loudly. It was meant for Sora to hear, but if he did, all the better. Sonja crossed her arms and smirked. She watched Sora walk past the Head of House and whisper something to him. She couldn't hear it, but Sonja could read his lips. You should've slapped her... he had said. Sonja's eyes flashed in anger and she nearly leapt across the room to strangle Sora. Instead, she replied to his comment.
"Maybe he should slap you!" she hollered across the room. Sonja was quite a protective person, and whether Reina liked it or not, Sonja was already protective of her.

[Sora Blake]

"Maybe you should learn to keep your damn mouth shut!" Sora hissed back in an equally loud voice, deadly venom laced in his harsh words that even surprised Sora himself. Usually he was never so confrontful to others but something inside of him snapped. He had enough of some people and he really did not care at all about the consequences whenever he acted.

[Sonja Wright]

"Maybe you should too! Who the hell are you to say stuff like that about Reina huh?" Sonja snapped back. Her fists were clenched and she was already panting. This boy was really making her angry. If the Head of House hadn't been there, Sonja probably would have set him on fire too.

Sonja took a step closer to him and continued yelling.
"What's your problem anyway? Why do you care so much about the stupid woman?" Sonja said, standing her ground. She hoped Reina was going to back her up on this one. Any time now...

[Sora Blake]

"Because it's the truth!" Sora yelled out, a notch louder then Sonja. His hands were clenched tight and shaking slightly. He just had enough of them already. They were cutting the last cord of his patience. He was only human, one more snip and all hell would break lose.

Sora matched her step by step. If this was going to go on any longer, they would be face-to-face, "The only reason I'm like this is because I care!" he yelled out, his anger reaching unknown limits. He drew his wand from his left cloak sleeve, grasping it tightly in a shaking hand, ready to curse at any second. If this was going to escalate further, it would be because of her.

[Sonja Wright]

Sonja stepped closer to Sora, her hand now on her own wand. She pulled it out and her grasp tightened on it, her knuckles turning white. Her breathing got steadily heavier as she looked Sora right in the eye. She watched as he pulled out his wand in a shaky hand.
"So now you wanna fight, eh?!" Sonja yelled, getting right in Sora's face. She pushed him backwards and pointed her wand at him.
"Bring it on!" she yelled, ready to fight.

[diablo]

Reina was slowly circling Sora wihle Sonja and Sora argued. She already had her wand out and was ready for any attack that would come at her. Reina then remembered her position and tried to break it up while still trying to circle Sora.

"Come on you two. There's no need for us to fight. We should be united. Sora stop yelling at Sonja and I for not caring that your grandmother was murdered and we won't think that you are some hufflepuff wuss that was put into our house by mistake."

[Sora Blake]

Sonja's push was the last straw for Sora. His wand hand instantly stopped quivering as her grasped his chest and pushed him backwards. Ignoring Reina and regaining his footing, he simply just gazed at Sonja, his eyes blank and foreboding. In his mind, he was back in his little shell which he was trained to do by his fater. In that shell, he really didn't give damn as to what happened to his opponent.

Just as quick as he entered that state, he whipped his wand to the right then thrusted it towards Sonja,

"Flipendo!" he yelled out, the bright, reddish light bursting out of his wand heading towards his intended target.
