clara-page - starting off our new rp
Sapphire sat in the Slytherin Common Room, comfortably curled up in one of the large, green leather chairs. Beside her stood the large open fire that burned brightly - flames of orange, amber and red dancing merrily. Through the windows, a sight of the many creatures of the lake could be seen - Sapphire loved this view. She enjoyed the Common Room being within the dungeons of Hogwarts. This meant they were away from all the other houses and the Slytherins could be left alone in peace. The only house that could be considered relatively close was th Hufflepuff Common Room which was situated by the kitchens - these were quite a way away from the main section of the dungeon where the Slytherin Common room was situated. The heat from the fire pulsated on the girls face, causing her to become rather sleepy - eventually dozing off.
Green light filled the area, echoed screams rattled through the empty streets. A hooded figure emerged, running, from another, looking back every so often to check whether they were being followed. A shot of red light zipped past the figures head, barely missing her. With a manic cackle, she turned to face the man running towards her "Avada Kedavra!" she shouted, the females voice carrying itself towards the man in the path of the green light. It his hit him square in the chest, sending him flying backwards into a wall. A proud smile crossed the face of the hooded woman, as she turned and continued to run. Bright white lights were now descending from the sky, "Aurors..." she snarled, now was the perfect opportunity. She ran down a narrow street, placing her back against the wall.
Pulling her hood back, she revealed dark mahogany curls, deep blue eyes that might as well have been black, a once beautiful face now black and blue on one cheek, with a scar running from just below her button nose, across both lips and ending just before chin. The bright light illuminated the small town, witches and wizards of all shapes and sizes emerging from said light, hunting for the murderer. "What happened here?" one of them asked, glancing over at the man who was slumped against a wall, Sapphire let out a quiet laugh, clasping her wand firmly in her hand. She peeked about the corner, glancing at each one before a young female spotted her. "There!" she screamed, the horde of Aurors beginning to run in Sapphire's direction, aiming spells at her. Sapphire cackled and began to run, wanting a chase before finally apparating away in a cloud of black smoke.
After a few moments of genuinely believing she was floating through the night sky, enveloped within wisps of blackened smoke, Sapphire came back to reality with a bump - jumping slightly at the sound of the portrait entrance opening with a loud creak. Someone really should do something about that rusting old mechanism, it was very distracting. Her head turned slightly to look over the back of the seat, waiting to s who would emerge into the Common Room.
