The classroom was open but empty, ready and waiting for the begining Arithmancers. The only sign that a class would be taking place that afternoon was the now-familiar chart on the board. Hopefully the students would know what to do with it. ![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v28/carinap/Arithmancy1.jpg)

Jynx made his way to the Arithmancy classroom in a fairly good mood. He couldn't wait to get to the class for some reason, maybe it was that Mountain Dew he had just drank that made him so wired. He had just recieved an owl from his dad and as always there had been quite a few of his favorite muggle treats in it. He hadn't taken any time in gulping down his soda.
Walking into the class room he looked around and saw no one so he decided to take a seat somewhere in the middle and wait for the rest of the class to get there. Walking over to his seat he sat down and put his feet up on the desk rocking back and forth on his chair every couple of seconds not even bothering to take out his supplies for the time being.

Walking into the Arithmancy classroom Jack soon noticed that he wasn't the first one there. It seemed that an overly hyper Jynx had beat him there. "Hey Jynx," he said making his way over to where Jynx was sitting. "Get enough sugar before you came?" he inquired watching the younger huffle rocking back and forth on his chair.
He unlike Jynx saw that the professor had written something up on the board and took out a piece of parchment and a quill. He then jotted the table down quickly just in case he didn't have it in his notes from a previous lesson. He was pretty sure he had it in his notes but it wouldn't hurt to have it again.

It had reached the point that Verina knew for a fact that she needed a bag or anything for that matter that she could put all her books, parchment, and everything else into. She wasn't even sure how she'd been able to walk down a few flight of stairs without tripping since at the moment the stack she held before her obscured her view of the ground.
She was relieved when she finally reached her Arithmancy class and came to find that besides the professor only Jynx and Jack where in the classroom. She smiled slightly as she looked at both of them, "Hey Jynx," Verina said as she was about to pass him only to have a series of things happen in a matter of moments.
Unable to see exactly where she stepped her foot had gotten stuck on something, Jynx's chair leg, when she went to take another step forward she yanked it with her foot causing her to loose her balance. All the things she'd been holding came crashing down onto the floor along with herself since she hadn't had enough time to catch herself but that wasn't all.

“Hey Jack,” Jynx said turning his head and looking around in Jack’s direction smiling still leaning back on the legs of his chair. “Can never have enough sugar,” Jynx replied his smile widening. “And for your information the only sugar that I have had today was a Mountain De......”
Jynx’s sentence was interrupted with the appearance of Verina who seemed to be carrying her entire trunk contents with her. “Hey Verina,” Jynx said with a small wave thinking that maybe someone should help her out with the books she was carrying. Just as he was about to open his mouth and tell Jack to go help his girlfriend out he felt his chair jerk out from underneath him. Tumbling backwards along with his chair he tried to stick out his hands to break his fall. This was a mistake however because instead of helping cushion the fall he felt his wrist give a little getting trapped underneath his weight, and couldn’t get it up in front of him to protect him from the book that was flying at his face. Thunk! The book hit him right in the left eye and fore head.
Laying back on the floor Jynx couldn’t believe what had just happened. Verina was such a klutz how could she not see his chair legs standing there. Head throbbing a bit around the eye he just continued to lay there and jerked his hand out from underneath him. Really he saw no need to get up at the moment, better to wait until he thought he could actually pull himself up by himself.

Misaki walked into the classroom to find two people, apparently knocked down to the ground. "What did I just miss?" she asked heading over toward Verina and Jinx. Misaki bent down and started picking up a few things that possibly fell onto the ground. She wouldn't know since she missed it. "Are the two of you alright?"

Jack looked up when Jynx cut his sentence short. Seeing Verina with a stack load of books and supplies he jumped up to help. Just as he got out of his seat both Verina and Jynx came crashing to the floor. Hurrying over to were Verina was at he asked in a concerned voice, “Verina, you alright,” as he tried to help her up and make sure that she was ok. Picking up some of her supplies as he did. Once he had made sure that she was up and alright he turned his attention elsewhere. Rounding on Jynx as if it was all his fault he said in an vicious voice, “What is wrong with you!” Giving him a good thwack with the book, The Norton Anthology: English Literature (( ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) )), as he did so. He didn’t care that Jynx was looking rather worse for wear with the onset of a black eye apparently coming on and ink all over his robes. All he cared about was that his girlfriend had fallen down because of Jynx’s chair. So of course it was Jynx’s fault. He was so preoccupied that he didn’t even see Misaki come in.

Kylie walked into the Arithmancy classroom just as Jack hit Jynx with a book. She didn't have a clue what was going on and was quite confused by the whole scene. "Hey, Misaki," she said walking over in the girls direction, "Have any idea what happened here?" she asked surveying the entire scene once more while setting down her book bag at one of the free desks that was still upright.

“I’m alright,” came Jynx’s voice from somewhere on the ground. He still didn’t feel like getting up at the moment so he just continued to lay there. It wasn’t until Jack turned on him that he decided to sit up. “What? You have got to be kidding.” Jynx said staring at him half incredulously and half amused as he tried to get up on his feet and felt a dull pain residing in his wrist and face. He didn’t even react when Jack hit him in the shoulder with the book, but just continued to stare at him with a look of amusement coming across his face. He knew that Jack was being stupid in defense of his girlfriend and didn’t expect any less of him.
Once he got to his feet he turned his attention in Verina’s direction checking if she was alright. It wasn’t until he started picking up some of her supplies that he noticed her ink bottle had shattered right next to him splattering his cloths. “Dang it and this was one of my best robes,” he exclaimed more to himself then anyone as he set down Verina’s supplies and tugged at his shirt. He knew that he would be able to get it off so he wasn’t all that worried about it. “Oh well, everyone will just think that I have been hanging out with the giant squid or something. Well, either that or they will just write me off as a klutz.” Jynx said still with a hint of amusement in his voice and a slight laugh. He wasn’t about to let this little spill ruin his day. As long as everyone else was alright he was good with that.

Verina felt completely embarassed for having tripped and fallen in the classroom. She couldn't help wincing slightly as she tried to sit back on her legs she didn't think that she'd broken anything but she did feel sore and brusied here and there. She smiled slightly as Jack helped her stand back up and bit her bottom lip slightly, "It's okay i'm allright," she said trying to reassure him with a small smile.
Her eyes widened as she realized what she had done to Jynx, "Please don't get mad at him Jack it's not his fault," Verina said feeling even worse since because of her he had gotten hurt, "It was all my fault. I'm... i'm just a klutz." She hoped that Jack would calm down and not blame Jynx for this.
"Jynx i'm really really sorry," Verina said her expression laced with guilt, "Are you sure your okay?" she asked completely disregarding her own state of appearance and state in general at the moment as well as the hint of amusement in his voice.

“Your right. Its no ones fault.” Jack said firmly as if his statement finalized it. He still wasn’t being completely rational but better to leave it with that then get him explaining why it was indeed Jynx’s fault in the first place. His selective hearing kept him from hearing Verina statement about being a klutz.
Picking up the rest of the supplies he placed them on the table next to his so that Verina could sit down. “We really ought to get you a bag to carry all of this around in.” he said looking at everything she had been carrying.

“Ya I am ok. Don’t worry about it,” Jynx said with a smile looking over in Verina’s direction. He knew that it was just an accident, and that accidents happened. Plus a black eye was nothing compared to some of the injuries he had received in the past. The pain was even starting to dull down and his spirits were still high. After all it was going to take more then a black eye and some ink to calm this Hufflepuff down, with all the caffeine and sugar that was running through his veins.
Righting his chair he sat back down, leaned it back and resumed his balancing act, but keeping a careful eye on where Verina was at.

Verina sat down a slight flush to her cheeks since she'd managed to get Jynx hurt and he was one of her friends. She knew he'd said it was okay but wasn't sure how Matty would take her boyfriend having a black eye. She looked herself over slightly finding that along with Jynx ink had splattered on to her clothes and there had gone all her ink she'd need to buy more soon.
She had a few scrapes but they weren't that bad or anything to worry about, "I know..." Verina said quietly as she fiddled with her hands in her lap. "I don't normaly carry this much... so its never really been that much of a problem before."

Jack couldn’t believe that Jynx had resumed his previous position. Hadn’t he learned anything? Obviously that particular lesson would have to be learned again. Laughing he said, “Hey Verina want to walk by Jynx’s chair again?” He was kidding with Verina and Jynx for that matter, who he knew was most likely listening in on their conversation.
“Really don’t worry about it. Jynx is fine and he’ll get over it, besides the black and blue goes nicely, at least now he is slightly representing Ravenclaw.” he said when he saw that Verina was fiddling with her hands and talking in a quite voice. He was just trying to get her to stop worrying about it, accidents happened.
He made a mental note to carry some of her things when they went to leave the classroom.

A slight smile came to her lips as Jack suggested that she walk past Jynx's chair since apparantly he'd gone back to his old tricks which had partly caused this whole accident in the first place. She still hadn't looked up at him until his next words. She could tell he was trying to make her feel better about the whole thing that had happened.
"Don't think he'll like that very much," Verina said her smile growing and hinting at perhaps laughter as she looked up and met his eyes. "Thanks," she said quietly so that'd he'd only hear and Jynx wouldn't be able to catch it. She knew she had to buy a bag and in the meantime carry as little books as she needed.
