You'd think after being here for so long Lily wouldn't get lost anymore. This was a magical castle though and Lily swore it was changing on her. She had passed this portrait at least half a dozen times. She finally decided to give up. She sat down across from the portrait and it's occupants laughed and sniggered at her, pointing. "What are you looking at?" She asked, glaring at the people in the portrait. The quickly turned away and eventually left the frame avoiding her wrath.

It had gotten to the point for Verina that she no longer fell for those trick steps but every now and then she did manage to forget where one just happened to be and got her foot stuck in one. Today she found herself in a carefree and cheerful mood but then again she was rarely in any other mood if she could help it.
Holding her books against her chest she jumped down the steps trying to skip at least one each time for no real reason other than the fact that she was slightly bored and had just felt like doing it. Not seeing where she was about to place her foot next Verina got her foot snagged on a trick step just as she was about to hop down to the next.
This only caused her to loose her balance and fall forward, sending her rolling down the staircase. Instinctively she managed to tuck in her limbs but her body and her head got a fairly bad beating from the hard steps. Only coming to a stop as she hit the floor of the beginning of the next staircase and almost at the feet of the girl sitting there.
Verina groaned as she stiffly tried to unwound herself from the fetile position she'd taken in a wish to protect her body as much as she could. She tried opening her eyes but all she saw was fuzzyiness and Brownie her owl, "Brownie...... and another Brownie....." she said before letting out another moan as she tried to lift her head only to fall back again.

Lily was still giving all the portraits evil eyes when she heard a rather loud noise. She got up and ran in the direction it came from in order to investigate. She was standing there long enough to see the girl fall the last few steps. Well at least I found the stairs. Stupid magical castle. She went to the girl's side. "Are you alright?" She questioned. She didn't look like she had broken anything.

That was a stupid thing to do, she thought miserably as she fell back again unable to focus, or wanting to at the moment.
Verina could hear her head throbbing in her mind and she squeezed her eyes more tightly closed. She felt sore all over her body and wasn't sure she could lift her head just yet or at least not suddenly or she might vomit. Hearing someone's voice though rather distant in her mind she tried to open her eyes to no avail.
In an attempt to focus she slowly lifted her eyelids, blinking a few times until her eyesight seemed to focus, "I..... I think i'm ok," Verina managed to get out lifting herself in slow degrees until she rested on her elbows, "I don't think anythings broken. Stupid stairs." Despite that she was going to take it slow getting back up she didn't want to suddenly get dizzy.

"Are you sure?" Lily asked again. The girl didn't look so okay. She reached her hand down to the girl to help her up. "I'm Lily and you are . . . .the girl who fell from the steps?" She asked, trying to make light of a difficult, and what Lily was sure must be an embarrassing situation. She smiled sweetly, waiting for the younger girl's answer.

Verina couldn't help letting out a small laugh at the girls words, "ow..." she said as her sudden outburst made her head pulse and after a moment that sharp pain subsided to a throb, "I'm Verina. Verina Alvarez," she said with a small smile as she looked at the older girl that had helped her, "Lily i... i think i'm okay just gonna be really really sore and my head hurts. It's happened to me before."

"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" Lily asked, looking at Verina with concerned eyes. "I can help you get to the nurse if you want or back to your dorms to lay down or anything like that." It was a good thing Verina had found her on a day where she was actually people tolerant. Not that she was intolerant other days; it was just that she could get a little moody occasionally.

"Yeah.... i think i'll be allright," she said suddenly feeling dizzy as she attempted to take a step forward, "Maybe i just need to sit down for a little bit," Verina said with a small smile trying her best to reassure a concerned Lily. She closed her eyes for a moment until the dizziness pasted, "It's okay i don't think i need to go to the nurse," she'd never been to fond of hospitals so that was her last resort if she had any say in the matter.

"Are you sure?" Lily said. The girl was younger than her and Lily knew of her own disbeleif when it came to nurses. She would rather not go to them too. She was halfway to talking this girl down to the nurse anyways. "Let's get you back to your common room then okay?" So, she didn't know where the Gryffindor's common room was; they'd have to run into another Gryffindor sooner or later.

"Yeah i'm sure really don't worry about it believe me i fall on my face with some frequency," Verina said in a light voice so that Lily would finally come to the decision that she didn't need to see the nurse, "Mmm....... I don't think i've seen you before in the common room," she said before getting a better look at Lily's house emblem on her robes, "Wait aren't you in Ravenclaw how can you take me to Gryffindor?" she asked a slight frown on her face in curiosity her mind was still a little fuzzy.
