Slytherin humor flew out of him like a sail that has lost its wind. Blaze of anger sprung up instead. He only realized he had his hand clenched in a fist and was halfway towards burying it in Ivan's face when Ivan screamed addressed him directly.

His eyes grow large as every inch of him froze. Why are the horrors of last year suddenly rearing its ugly head again?

Then it was Lexi who was screaming now. Salander couldnt move, half of him wanting to embrace Lexi and pull her away from the mess, the other half just wanting to forget about Hogwarts and just unleash the monstrous rage that was so easy to let loose in the past.

Sooo tempting.....

A movement at the corner of his eye made him realize-- there was a child-- Oakey, the young Puff he just met, in a ship that fueled the imaginations and curiosity unlike any other he seen at Hogwarts.

No he cannot let the monster destroy that now. No matter how good it would've felt afterwards.

With extreme effort he raised his arms and circled it around Lexi, partly to pull her away from the hatch, but also to busy his hands and make sure it doesnt end up on any part of the Ravenclaw lad. "Come on Lexi. Leave him be." he said, restrained anger making his voice quiver unconsciously.
