Was I talking too you?

“Stay away?” Her brows furrowed in confusion for a single moment before a hurt look crossed her features. “Really, Rab? Is that what you want?” she asked softly, turning her bright eyes to look up at him.

Rabastan looked down at the bright eye’d girl as he searched for a answer within the locked gaze they both carried with one another. He couldn’t help it. He didn’t know if what he felt was truly there, if what his emotions spoke was the truth. He bit down on his lower lip, the look she gave him struck something within him but he couldn’t tell what, “ No.” He broke the long in tense stare, as he looked else where.  Sighing lightly as he took her hand within his, “Maybe.” His raspy voice spoke as his eyes flickered back and forward from the ground to her. “What if you aren’t happy?” His eyes stuck to the ground and he foolishly spoke his mind. “ What if I’m not the guy for you-” His eyes raised to see her once more, as he leaned into her letting his hand cup her cheek. “What if - “ His eyes lowered to take a glance at her lips, her rose colored like lips. “ I’m not who you expect .. ?” 

Reece didn’t like potions but she liked Professor Slughorn. Or rather she liked that he liked her. And potions was easy. Rumor was fifth years got potions partners, whatever that meant. Awesome. Someone to get in my way she thought annoyed, approaching the list on the dungeon door. She scanned the list until she found her name

Darcia was patiently waiting until the time to meet up with her sister had arrived. It felt like she hadn’t seen her in days. She was quite surprised when she felt a figure standing next to her and quite frankly, taken back when he started speaking. She listened carefully and then actually began laughing. “Psycho? Hold old  are you? Do you actually carry that label proudly?” 

“ Proudly, can’t say but it’s said for a reason.. “ Rabastan looked over at the fair skinned girl as he let his eyes rest easy on hers. “ Tell me why are you out at such a late hour ?-”

“Thank you for stating the obvious,” Bella rolled her eyes at him, crossing her arms over her chest. “God no, but there was a couple of fourth years going at it on the couches and I am not about to deal with those horny juveniles at this hour.” She cackled, leaning her head back against the stone wall, “And haven’t you heard I’m the psychopath around here.”

“ Not according to the whisper’s and taunts..” Rabastan laughed as he heard, her reffer herself as a psychopath which was true,  he wouldn’t deny it but something else still lingered through his head, had she had found the little ravenclaw who he had mentioned the other day and he brought himself to ask.

                      What a RUDE thing to say, Narcissa thought, horrified by the    idea of what she must look like. She forced a smile, then a laugh. ❝ What   a horrid thing to say! ❞  She gave a giggle. ❝ In the future, Rebastan, you   should never comment on a girl’s appearance. I’ve been       ❞  I’ve been    restless; my mind hasn’t stopped screaming since I got back. ❝ I’ve seen   worse than you, Rabastan. May I ask why you can’t sleep? ❞ 

“It’s been hard to get to sleep as of late,” Andie commented with an exhausted half smile. Was the girl tired, yes, but  sleepy? Those had suddenly become two entirely different things to her. “I dunno, Rab. Maybe when it became a quiet place for studying. I barely ever see anyone hanging out and having fun in here.” Everything had become so different in the last year or two. It was like the air all around the entire castle had become heavy an taught with tension. “I’ve always known you were psycho. That never stopped me before.”

“ Then tell me, why don’t you stay away ?” Rabastan looked over at Andie as his eyes fluttered back and forward from her to the details of her elastic beauty.

“Well that’s blood helpful. Said no one.” Scarlet teased. It was obvious he became exasperated whenever she mentioned his brother in any sort of positive way, but mostly she only did it in an effort to gain a reaction. Leaning into him, she brought her face level with his, her caramel coloured tresses dangling freely and swaying slightly in the breeze. Wiggling her eyebrows she smirked wickedly. “Are you suggesting you’re up for a little investigating? Because you know I’m always up for that, right? Always.”

“ Don’t please don’t” Rabastan looked at her as his eyes grew cold, his face was drain of all emotion as he looked at her and his wicked smile appeared on his face as he nodded softly, as he bite down on his lower lip.” Well yeah finding her name shall be intresting but the thing is, I some what already told Bella.” He shrugged as he looked over at his dear Scarlet with a smirk on his face. “ Now can you tell me is it more fun scheming or watching Bella rip the head off this barbie ?”

Scarlet’s doe-like eyes rested on Rabastan, his mouth turned up in a wicked grin. Like a school girl it gave her butterflies to see him like that, so engrossed, so twisted…mischievous. “I have no idea Rabastan, I’m sure half of Hogwarts fancies your brother, he’s really hot.” It was obvious he was referring to someone else however, someone specific and unlikely. “I’ve actually seen your brother with a brunette girl, I didn’t see a face or a robe so I’m unsure of who she is. She’s not Bella though. And anyone who isn’t Bella spells trouble, Scarlet thought. “Who is it then?” She asked with an amused smirk.

Rabastan rolled his eyes at Scarlet’s gushing over his brother and shook his head lightly as he laughed it off as if what she had just said had no effect on his persona thinking at all. “ Yeah that’s the thing, never really got her name..”

Rabastan was the last person that Ted wanted to run into. He had always meant trouble in Ted’s eyes. “I don’t want anything. I know I came to learn. I am a prefect after all, I’m supposed to be patrolling the hallways this late.” Ted added, trying to sound as nice as possible. “I believe that you can never stop learning so despite what your belief and others might be, there’s still more to learn.”

Rabastan rolled his eyes, this kid was always such a bore. Everything that came out of his mouth was just a stupidity. He couldn’t help but to laugh to himself at the idea that he would actually care what he had to say. “ Do me a favor and shut up your just annoying.” He spoke bluntly as he got closer to him letting there faces closen up just a bit. “ Do yourself a favor and leave before I change my mind and do what I was planning to do to you since the moment, I saw you come down the corridor..”

Bellatrix rolled her eyes, but she felt herself swell with a small amount of pride knowing how well of a name she had made for herself over the years. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and focused back onto what the younger boy was saying, her interest peaking when he mentioned a Ravenclaw bothering him, “And by that smug little smile on your face, I presume you handled it and put whoever it was in their place.” The dark haired girl nodded along when she was suppose to, listening carefully as it seemed from his expressions that his little story was going to get better. “Should I be presenting you with a thank you for defending my honor then?” She teased, quite proud to see that his loyalties to her went far. The mention of his skills with a knife pleased her as well. Her smirk slowly started to fade as Rabastan’s last words finally met her ears, “Who the hell is this little slag and why wasn’t I aware of this until now?”

Rabastan couldn’t answer her, cause he honestly didn’t know. “ Seems like one of those well known Raven Claws. But I can always point her out to you if you’d like..” 

“Don’t be so rude, Lestrange,” Bella snickered, continuing to make her way over to him. “I could ask you the same thing but us Slytherins all tend to have the same agendas when lurking about.”

“ Oh my, if it isn’t she the one who shouldn’t be named..” Rabastan chuckled as he heard her speak, nodding politely but only to speak up and say what he had gone and found out. “ So I was playing target practice that day at the library do you recall ?”  His eyebrow’s rose as a wide wicked smile grew onto his face as he added. “ I was casually minding my own business as per usual when this boney little ravenclaw, thought it was okay to speak to me. “

Rabastan didn’t think she realised but Scarlet realised everything, especially about him. Every now and then as she was speaking, his eyes would lay softly on her face, not like he was listening like he was staring, lingering particularly on her soft dark eyes and plump lips. Any other girls may have been made to feel uncomfortable by this but to Scarlet it was the absolute opposite, though she didn’t care to draw any attention to it. “I will.” She laughed, punching him playfully in the arm. “You’re not the only person who can exact revenge, I just don’t do anything bad enough that would earn me time anywhere other than detention.” Biting her lip for a moment in thought she mulled over his question. In truth Quidditch had been the last thing on her mind. “I haven’t actually seen Em yet, why have you?”

“ I spoke with her only once..”  Rabastan whispered as his eyes fluttered from her and anything else that wasn’t her. Why was is that every now and then that he talked to Scarlet the emotion’s that he had forced out of himself found a way to creep back in. “ Now for that revenge, I found something out that might be fun too mess with- “ The same usual twisted smirk grew onto his face, as he looked down at her whom to not his surprise, grew the exact same twisted smirk as well. That was one thing he loved about her, that she was always up to play with the big boys and play the big boy’s game. 

“Eh, I just need to keep you in a good enough state to be able to play. It’s all very calculated really.” She teased, shrugging her shoulders before placing one of her hands over his. “Seriously, don’t put yourself down like that though…”

“ But when do I not, I mean look at me.. “ Rabastan whispered under his breathe in honesty as his eye’s met her’s and he licked his dry lips, too only speak again. “ I mean, I dont mind it cause at least people like you get to see me for me, but Im not a bad person am I ?”
