No... she wasn't studying.
It was a gorgeous fall day and Allegra was spread out on the grass under one of the trees, coloring. She wasn't much of an artist but loved the opportunity to break out her crayons and just play with the shades of color. As she lay on her stomach, she jiggled her feet and hummed to herself, occasionally turning to look at the leaves above her.
And when something caught her eye, she stopped... and just watched it.

Daniel, unlike the other student in the courtyard, was studying under the surprisingly nice Fall weather. He was studying for History of Magic (a personal favourite) and humming to himself as a small smile tugged on the corners of his mouth as he read. The sound of leaves crunching made Daniel snap his head up to look at what was making the noise.
Daniel couldn't help but roll his eyes at the Ravenclaw girl just staring up at the sky. Although he had just arrived at the school they already seemed to be competiting for house points in the classes they were together. He was being as obnoxious as he could because, they never really got along, and he was a Slytherin anyways.

Allegra hadn't noticed the boy when he came into the courtyard and still didn't see him now, intent as she was on what was in the tree above her. Her face broke out into a small smile and she placed her crayons on the ground and sat up, still looking up into the leaves above her. Her smile grew as she got to her feet, climbed up on nearby bench and grabbed the bottom-most branch.

Dan once again rolled his eyes when the girl climbed the tree, that was such a childish thing to do, but a voice in the back of his head told him that pranks were too. His eyes narrowed slightly from under his glasses and he relized that once again, he was staring. Dan quickly looked back down and a small grin appeared across his face as he read more History of Magic.

Allegra swung herself up into the tree almost as easily as her brother would have done. She was tall, but his limbs were longer... and Drew wasn't afraid of heights.
Allegra had forgotten how far she was off the ground, as intent as she was on climbing. There had never been a problem going up. The problem was in coming down, but she didn't seem to be thinking about that. As she neared her goal her movements became slower and gentler. She was nearly hidden by the golden leaves but her voice could be heard cooing softly.

Daniel looked away upon hearing the tree groan slightly under the weight obviously climbing the tree. Dan felt like being a tease, thus he took his glasses off and abonded the book, walking silently towards the tree. Dan found it quite easy to climb the tree, being a beater, of a leggy-figure, pretty tall, and not the least bit afraid of heights. He hid himself behind the tree trunk in which Allegra was on the other side. Dan climbed the tree with hardly any noise at all, as he was pretty strong, and really nothing compared to what he was used to made his breathing any heavier.
Dan looked around at the tree trunk at the girl and he grinned slightly. He said with mischief, "What are you doing climbing my tree?" He knew that first of all, she had been there first, and second of all, being surprised would probably end up with her either falling into his arms, or out of the tree. He was secretly hoping for the second option.

{Groan under the weight? I beg your pardon?}
The bird's nest she had spied had kept her attention and Allegra was too busy wondering why the eggs had been laid this late in the year to notice the boy climbing up. His voice had been unexpected and while she had felt secure looking at the nest, the voice reminded her how very high she was. She lost her grasp of the branch she had been holding and suddenly realized she was falling. She made a futile grab at the branch and screamed as she fell, hitting the ground with a dull crunch.

((ooc: well, Dan has pretty good ears, and like, a person climbing a tree no matter who they are always makes a bit of noise, and that is wat i meant.))
Dan swore under his breath, now feeling terrible about doing so. He quickly climbed back down the tree and looked at her through slightly narrowed eyes, as he hadn't worn his glasses upon climbing up. Deciding weither or not she was unconscious, Dan quite easily picked her up, and headed over to the bench, not even shrugging slightly with holding the extra person in outstretched arms.
Dan put her on the bench and continued to stare at her with mild curiousty. He quickly wrote a letter to the nurse, and sent it off with a by-passing owl.

"DON'T! Don't touch me! Don't! Please don't!" Allgra cried out as the boy picked her up. She wasn't sure why he decided to move her, but it just made her feel worse. She wasn't sure what had broken, but the pain was unbearable. As he put her down on the bench she just laid there, wimpering.

"Well I'm sorry then." He said rolling his eyes slightly. "You were in an awkward position and if you were to stay any longer then you would have broken a few more bones." He looked her up and down trying to see if anything was broken. She might have a cracked rib or two, but he could almost guarentee that none of them were actually broken.

Drew hadn't heard what the boy said. He had come out into the courtyard ready to shoot some hoops but that thought left his mind when he heard his sister screaming... pleading with the boy towering over her.
"Don't touch me! Don't! Please don't!"
That was all Drew needed to hear. Without even thinking, he flew at the other boy, tackling him to the ground and punching him in the face.
"LEAVE MY SISTER ALONE YOU A**H***!" he growled at the Slytherin before hitting him again.

Dan just looked at the boy and rose an eyebrow. In a quick movement, he had the other boy pinned down to the ground beneath him. He not once put his hand to his face after being slapped as he was used to that by now. His colbalt blue gaze went into the other students also surprisingly blue eyes and he grumbled, "You kids got to learn." Dan just got off of him, without slapping him and headed back over to the bench.
"And for your information kid, your sister fell out of the tree into a very awkward position, if she would have stayed, it would have been a guarenteed broken leg. I brought her over here just to make sure she didn't break any bones. I predict a cracked rib or two thats all."
Dan narrowed his eyes slightly, "And for further reference, don't fight me, or else I'll seriously hurt you." He directed his attention back to the girl beside him, "You ok? Bit of a nasty fall lass." He could be a charmer... when he wanted to be.

Drew wasn't just some little kid and when the Slytherin flipped him over, Drew promptly flipped him back, ready to hit him again until he scrambled away and started in with excuses. In his fury he barely understood what the guy was saying.
"Leave her alone," Drew growled, even though he was fianally understanding his mistake. Still, the guy was an idiot if he moved her. Whatever she had broken in the fall would only be worse now. "If you want to help, go get the nurse."

"I fell out of the tree," Allegra sobbed when she saw her brother. She was trying her best not to cry, but it hurt so much all over. She could tell he was angry, but she didn't know why. She hadn't even told him why she fell.

[td][/td]Dan said fiercefully, his eyes turning darker, almost black. "It was my fault in the first place, and technically I can get expelled if I don't do anything responding to my actions. Believe me, being expelled is no fun at all." Dan shot him a sharp look before conjuring a small glass jar of murtlap essence without the use of a wand. He put it on the bench by Allegra's hand, and was certain that she would know what it was. His eyes seemed to unmelt as he concentrated only on Allegra, and not Drew.
