Vindictus nodded his head and crossed his arms. "Yes, there is definitely a problem."

He stared at the two of them from behind his sunglasses. "What did you give Elektra to drink before you started what appears to be a private flying lesson?"

Twitch.

He was very much surprised considering their flight over here. Rafe went with Elektra's movement as they rocked to the right a little and then began moving forward and an adequate speed. "Great maybe we can go high--"

But, before Rafe could finish he was interrupted by none other than Vindictus himself. Rafe had no idea why? The rules were it could be used for practice as long as one of the teams didn't have it reserved. Plus, it wasn't like they were attempting Starfish and Sticks or Wronski Feints. Just simple techniques. Rafe could feel her tense up. Elektra spoke of her previous flying experience with that man, and he didn't want her to start dreading flying again. Rafe wrapped his arms around the little second year and grabbed the handle. He turned the broom around and glided down just a few feet before his feet touch the ground. "Is there a problem sir?" Rafe asked with a raised eyebrow.

Everything was going so well before he showed up. Why? Why must a good moment be ruined?! Thanks Captain Stern pants!She thought to herslef. Elektra looked at Rafe and then at Vindictus looking at his sunglasses but knowing that those eyes were like swords when he stared at both of them. Elektra raised her eyebrow and then decided to answer. "He was just trying to calm my nerves down from flying. It wasn't like he poisoned me." Elektra replied strenly. Her gazed grew with a little bit of anger as she looked at Vindictus.

Rafe admired the second year's spunk. He was glad she was willing to stand up for him. He had to back up what she was saying because he was sure Vindictus wouldn't be happy with such a snarky, but brilliant reply.

Was this really happening? "I gave her some elixir to help calm her nerves before flying and make her feel more happy about the situation rather than stressed." Rafe gritted his teeth. "She's experienced some anxiety the last time she flew, so I thought it would help." Rafe crossed his arms and glared into Vindictus's sunglasses.

"Oh, really," replied Vindictus.

"Is that so?" he began. "Where did you get this elixir and where is the note giving you permission to have such an elixir as well as have the authorization to administer it to others?"

Vindictus really knew how to get under her skin. She didn't think that a little thing like an elixir to calm her nerves would be something wrong. "Well what difference does it make? He was just trying to help me fly. That's it. It wasn't like he was doing anything wrong like try dark magic or something." Now Elektra crossed her arms over her chest and she stuck close to Rafe.

This was getting ridiculous. He took out his wand and pointed it in the direction of the Boy's Dormitories. Without speaking he used the "Accio" spell to retrieve his potions receipt. It took a moment, but soon enough and tattered piece of paper came fluttering in the air. Rafe grabbed the paper and put his wand back in his harness up his sleeve. He looked down and there it was, "3 galleons, 11 sickles, 8 knuts for Euphoria Elixir X5." He bought five bottles and now he was down to three. Everything was listed on there of what he bought that day, loads of bottles of Wolfsbane potion, a few Calming Draughts, and monkshood. He handed over the list to Vindictus, "Will this suffice?"

Clearly the elixir was wearing off. It was that Slytherin side coming out. He'd seen it often in others. "It's okay Elektra," he said as he patted her shoulder. "This isn't something to get worked up about."

Elektra kept her gaze on Vindictus watching his every move. The last thing she needed right now was this trouble and her Slytherin side was starting to show. She hated when she got like this. When Rafe patted her shoulder she looked back at him and then she lowered her arms and looked back at Vindictus.

"I wasn't asking you, was I? Ten points from Slytherin for your insolence," replied Vindictus.

"Absolutely not. Did Professor Lafay authorize you to brew such a potion and did Headmaster Tate give you permission to give it to others? The last time I checked, Healer Moretti was the only one authorized to give students special elixirs."

He was tempted to state the obvious regarding Flying but held back.

TEN POINTS?! Oh, Bloody Hell not again. She wanted to say something, but just bit her tongue and kept her mouth shut and she huffed. Great more points. The last thing she needed was her whole house out to get her...including Lafay. First year flashback anyone? She sighs and rubs the back of her neck and did everything she could to keep her mouth shut and she looked at Rafe.

Rafe could feel his temperature rising. His heartbeat was racing. He could NOT get angry right now, this wasn't the time. Not with a professor and Elektra right here. He took in deep breaths and closed his eyes to gain back some self control. Why was Vindictus such a jerk toward Elektra? Hadn't he given her enough grief. He opened his eyes and his iris was almost solid black. Rafe couldn't look at Elektra, he had to focus before he completely lost it.

Rafe bit his tongue. It took everything his power to not call Vidictus a git and jump on his broom and fly off with Elektra. Think. Happy. Thoughts.

"No sir," he said bitterly. He clenched his hands in fists at his side. "But with all do respect sir, the last time I checked, Professors didn't undermine students a put them in and perennial fear of flying."

Vindictus shook his head. "You're out of line. Let me ask you one last time - did Headmaster Tate give you permission to administer this elixir to Elektra?"

Rafe was biting his tongue so hard that he could taste the bitterness of blood overwhelming his mouth. "I didn't realize I stuttered the first time, but the answer is still 'No Sir' he did not give me permission!" His tone was getting angrier and angrier. The elixir was from Diagon Alley, it wasn't like he brewed it himself. "Sir, we wouldn't be here in the first place if you learned to control you temper when addressing students and their flying capabilities. Yelling at a student and putting in a permanent consternation of flying is not okay. I was only trying to release some of the strain you had preceded to put on Elektra with a elixir sold by a professional potioneer. I see no harm in the actions I have implemented because I was trying to relieve some emotional scarring you had already administered...Sir!"

Elektra watched their conversation go back and forth and she could tell Rafe was getting more mad than he was from before. She looked over at Vindcitus and then back at Rafe. "Rafe, stop. You've made your point to him. Let's just go before we get into any more trouble." She said softly to him, but that didn't seem to get his attention. Elektra tugged on his shirt to get his attention. "Rafe!"

Vindictus remained calm. "The Practice Pitch is now closed and it will reopen next term," he began and he spoke slowly, and with emphasis. "And you seem to have forgotten that Gryffindor and Slytherin are almost neck-and-neck when it comes to the coveted House Cup. It's a pity that you seem to have forgotten this fact. For your rudeness in response to my questions, five points from Gryffindor."

"Administering an elixir to a student without permission goes against all school rules - the only person who has authorization to do this is Healer Moretti. For your action in this matter, ten points from Gryffindor."

Pause.

"Losing your composure and lecturing a professor who is only trying to enforce the school rules, twenty-five points from Gryffindor."

Another pause.

"Any further response from you will result in a doubling of the point loss and a very lengthy detention next term."

He looked at Elektra. "The same goes to you, too, Elektra."

Vindictus paused for a moment. "As I've already stated, the pitch is now closed. Please take your brooms with you."

Rafe scoffed as he picked up his broom. Forty points? Really?! It was a good thing Vindictus could read Rafe's mind, because it wasn't very pleasant at all. It was the kind of stuff that made mum's Scourgify your mouth out. He put his arm around Elektra to try and give her some sense of comfort and that everything was going to be okay, before turning his back on Vindictus and heading up to the castle.

She kept her mouth shut put her head down. What was going to be or seemed like a fun little adventure of flying, quickly turned into a buzz kill because of Vindictus. She couldn't understand why he was such a cranky man, but whatever his issues were...he needed to stop taking this out on students...including Elektra. When Rafe put his arm around Elektra, she was taken back a little not expecting him to do that and she looked up at him and she walked with Rafe towards the castle not looking back at Vindictus.
