Ooc > Woah.. you guys are extremely confusing... o.O

James had been distant, the din of the Great Hall was pounding in his ears, yet he heard nothing. His eyes searched the hall for a particular red head, when he suddenly felt naked, without the presence of Remus or Sirius. Where had they gone?

He spotted them quickly, standing towards the middle of the room. What in Merlin's name was going on? How had they moved so fast? Who were they trying to corner?

People were begining to gather around, and James pushed and elbowed his way through, only to find what seemed to be the remants of a fiasco.

He really should have paid much more attention.

"Wha--" but the words died in his mouth. Remus was sitting nearby, the crowd in front of him was separated into three lines. Angry Slytherins, angry Gryffindors, and curious on-lookers. Sirius and a girl from Slytherin whom James regonised from his year, were in a deadlocked duel.
Remus look unperturbed, and it was that, that made the Potter boy push a troll like girl out the way, and grab Sirius by the collar.

James had his wand out, but it was directed to the girl Sirius was in a fight with. This was very unlike Sirius. His wand pointed menancingly at her, he hissed to the black haired boy. "What the heck do you think you are doing, the Headmaster is on his way here already!"

He was about to also complain about how he had missed a good fight when a flash in the amber eyes of the werewolf caught, in the corner of his eye.

Oh, this, was, bad. Remus looked ******. And that was as rare of Hufflepuff winning the Quidditch Cup.

Sirius fell to his knees as Akari's own knee contacted with his chin. But the snapping of her wrist had made him smile more broadly, taking a moment to forget the pain that would soon set in.
Yet soon enough, blood filled his mouth, his teeth sunken into his tongue as his chin was forefully hit and he was pushed to the ground.

As he went to stand and console Romana that he was fine, he was grabbed by his shirt collar, which really didn't help much. At all. Blood trickled from his mouth, but he hadn't the chance to calm down. Still unnerved from what happened infront of him, he swung at James in attempt to keep his best mate from chocking him to death.

He couldn't really say anything and the taste of blood made him more wild, though for some reason he craved it. And disliked it. Alot. Almost unable to control himself, he finally managed off James, and was off to the Gryffindor Common Room in seconds. As he walked, he had spit out a puddle of blood that was drooling from his lips, hearing a scream and gasps along the way. He was in no mood right then, and even worse, he could barely control his anger.

Stupid dance... idiotic Snivellus... silly Astoria... evil Akari... evil Slytherins...
His thoughts blended one right into the other, full of hatred and not understanding and wonder and resentment, not to mention quite a bit of swearing. The feeling of two hands taking hold of both of his own snapped him out a bit.

"What?" Remus snapped, looking back up, though his eyes met Teresa's and he quickly felt guilty for the action. "Oh... sorry..." His hands began to run over hers, trying to content himself, and he looked up to see how the fight between Akari and Sirius was going, but then saw that Akari was now gone and a bloody mouthed Sirius was walking out of the Great Hall. "I'm... just..." He was just what? What was he now? Angry? Confused? Hurt? Wanting to be vengeful? Probably a very big mixture of the latter. "I just have a lot on my mind right now. Erm... anyway, you don't seem to be having much fun here tonight, I'm sorry."

[....lol...Akari and Zach are already gone James_Padfoot...this should be interesting with later encounters huh? lol]

'It's not your fault, Remy, it's not your fault. Just being with you it's better than anything' Teresa smiled at him. As she saw that everyone else was looking at Remus she added: 'Do you want to go somewhere else?' she wanted Remus to be alright, and he wouldn't be in the middle of that crowd looking at him and some other people. Besides she was felling a bit uncomfortable about this whole situation too. Not just because of Remus but also because of Astoria. They were friends. At least that was what she thought.
I'll speak to her tomorrow in the morning. Now my main priority is be sure that Remus gets alright she thought.

Romana watched Sirius getting out of the Great Hall being pushed by James.
'JAMES BE CAREFUL! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!' she shouted. She could see he was by the look on Sirius's face.

Astoria finaly stoped in the snow after ten minutes of running. Its all she ever seemed to do now-a-days. Run. Run from her family. Run fron her brother's'. Run from her house. She sighed. Why couldn't they see that Severus made her happy! Why did they have to pay attention to the house divisions. "WHY!" She shouted. She fell down and lay in the snow. Her hair getting covered with the newly falling snow, her dress getting soaked with the snow on the ground already and her shoulders freezing with both. Quietly, she started to cry. Knowing that most of her friends wouldn't appear to see if she was ok.

That was when she heard two voices. She didn't move, but she heard what they said. "Why would you still want to be friends with me after I suppostedly disgraced my house and yours." She said to Julienne. "Why would you even want to talk to me now when you didn't before?" She aimed at Oz, her eyes still closed even though she was shivering lightly.

Romana looked around. Sirus was with James somewhere, Teresa was with Remus,...
I'd better take a walk outside she thought. I'm not doing anything here anyway.
She got out of the Great Hall and walked outside.
The thought that she almost danced with Sirius was floating in her head. She completly forgot about Astoria and Snape. She had, until she saw Astoria laying in the ground. Romana felt anger inside her but also sadness. She walked to Astoria not sure of what to say or to do.
'Hello' was all she managed herself to say.

'Well Remus is with Tess, he's very disturbed. While James and Sirius went somewhere. Sirius is completly mad...' Romana answered. She took a deep breath and sat next to Astoria. 'But how are you?'
She was a bit angry about Astoria but she couln't do anything about it. Just thinking that she could be dancing with Sirius at that moment made her heart brake.

Sirius's attitude was begining to annoy James. The former had never moved to struck before, so James just let him go, following closely behind.

Once the two boys were a safe distance away fromt he Great Hall, Sirius leading towards the familiar route of the Gryffindor Common Room, James spoke.

James was currently uninformed, but Sirius's behaviour was currently unnerving.

"What in Merlin's name was going on, Padfoot?"

ooc: Toria, read my last post!

As James followed him to the Common Room, Sirius realized that his best friend was clueless. The boy had no idea what happened on the dance floor, or most of what was seen. With a heavy sigh, Sirius told him all of what he knew.

"Tori and Snape," He was finishing, grinding the word 'Snape' from his teeth. "have been dating for a month or more now, Prongs." Bowing his head, his black covering his eyes and most of his face, he shook his head.

"I wanted to say, that I would always be your friend, even now. I just hope that you didn't really take our little show seriously."

Ozraya wheezed behind them, tryuing to catch up. "Yeah, your not exactly my favorite person, Lupin-ette. But that doesn't mean that I don't respect you. Tell Snape that if he needs any help to come to ol' Merlow. I'll hook 'im up!"

Julienne glared at Ozraya. "Could we not stray this conversation to illegal magical products, please!?"
She turned back to Astoria. "Please, tell me you saw through our act. You of all people know that I would never agree to those terrible house and family rules. But if I didn't put that little act up, my family would kill me and then disown me."

Chris looked up at Mahari. "Yes, well...interesting how things turned out. Anyways, i'm giving up on Akari. She's just too inward...she would prefer reading a book to herself over talking to another person."
