Guess she just had to take a bite out of the sour apple and play friendly for now.

It didn't help that Apollo seemed oblivious to her feelings of upsetness that no doubt radiated from her off her skin. Instead he just said they'd be a trio and then introduced her to Serena and the other way around. Forcing on a smile she said even if rather wouldn't have said anything at all. "Hi Serena. We're in the same house. Maybe we can chat sometime at dinner? Anyway, let's go into the room.." As Apollo headed off Bella followed in his wake and prodded the door marked with second year before she headed inside.

The room you enter is entirely dark. An eerie breathing can be heard but it's difficult to tell the direction from which it comes. Sometimes it seems the breathing is right behind you. Sometimes it appears to be moving away. The sudden sound of footsteps hammering toward you may alarm you. Can't fight what you can't see, huh?

Serena shrugged. Sure, why not? More protection for her.

As for the introductions, Serena simply nodded curtly at Bella. She remembered her as the person who delivered Apollo's note during the Feast. She's also shared a common room.

Speaking of Bella, she didn't seem too happy. That or she had stomach issues and was pretending to be okay. Her daddy has been teaching her to read people, and Serena made no waste of those skills. She read people constantly, and she was reading Bella right now. As for the dinner invitation..."Sure," she agreed, refraining from turning it down like she normally would. Bella is her housemate, she deserves a chance. Plus, it'd be amusing.

Following the older students' lead and did as the Headmaster had mentioned. Just in case, she stayed close to Apollo. She was trying to decide who she'd rely most during this exercise. The boy who owed her a broomstick or the girl in her house.

Once in the room, Serena did not like this one BIT. She relied heavily on her sense of sight, and the fact that it was pitch dark inside the room with a weird breathing pattern caught her off guard. "Guys..." she breathed, her hand instinctively reaching for Bella's (her brain made the decision for her). At least, she hoped it was. If it was an inferi or something else, she was going to scream.

Then footsteps....SHE WAS GOING TO SCREAM.

Feeling Serena's hand cling to hers, she for a split second considered letting go of it because she was still very upset at Apollo. However they were in class and Serena was undoubtedly scared so she held on to her hand and then said soothingly trying her best to pretend that she wasn't scared at all as the sound of hammering footsteps came nearer. "Relax Serena, screaming will only anger whatever it is that is coming towards us. Keep your wand ready. Do you now any attacking spells?" Turning her attention to Apollo she asked "Have you got a plan?"



Apollo definitely was the textbook definition of oblivious, but also he was in full fledge Gryffindor protection mode too which meant looking out for his friends, both new and old. Moving on though because they needed to keep it moving and it wasn't a matter of being rude, but they had to get through this task and he'd already made for the brief introductions, he could squinted into the darkness hearing breathing and footsteps. "Lumos," He cast, even though Bella had cast as well, but all the light would definitely be helpful. "Ssh, Ser--," he urged, feeling her close and perhaps in between himself and Bella. Did he have a plan? Uh -- He frowned, looking around the room. "Atlas used bombarda last year. I think I could probably manage that one." When in doubt, blowing things up definitely seemed like a good distraction measure.
