XXXEonaria lunged for the door, grasping the doorknob. Her hands were sweaty, fumbling slightly with the first try. Get out!! Now! Her heart was pounding. But just as she opened the door, she heard the Hufflepuff shout something from the side... behind... whatever. "Verdimillious!"

XXXEonaria felt the spark of heat way, way too close to her eyes. She squeezed her eyes shut as a sudden searing of pain went through them. She could feel the automatic tears well up quickly as her tear ducts tried to flush out the irritant- though it probably wouldn't work. Eonaria stumbled to a stop, halfway down the first few stairs.

XXX"Oh, hell," she hissed under her breath. WHAT DO I DO?!! "I'm pretty sure this counts as maiming!" She shouted. Was he out of his mind?! WHO uses the Spark Charm and aims it towards the eyes of a first year in an altercation that easily could've been averted by leaving with his cat?!

XXXAm I blind? Okay, not gonna lie, that would completely screw up my life. She felt a bit numb for some reason. Eonaria wondered if the tears streaming down her face were tinted red. Calm down! They were sparks, not knives. They probably aren't. They aren't. Unfortunately, she could not open her eyes to check. Damn. "I call foul play," Eonaria added dryly. I feel like I should be having a more extreme reaction than this. Maybe screaming at the top of my lungs and running down the stairs. No, thank you. I don't need a concussion, too.

XXX"Probably illegal in addition to breaking the rules. You totally just got us both in trouble. Big trouble, yippeee..." Am I delirious or something? I'm suing him, her brain also added. Heeey, as long as the sparks didn't hit my pupils, I shouldn't be blind... I mean, I think that's how that works... I didn't study eyes all that much. For a moment, Eonaria forgot where she was and what was happening, zoning out for a some chill time with extremely painful eyeballs and intrusive thoughts.

XXXShe tried to blink as some of the burning sensation faded away. Wow, these are some very watery eyes. As she blinked, some of the dark stairway floated into view, just barely illuminated by the light from the Astronomy classroom. Oh, good. I'm not blind. But that bloody hurt! Eonaria wiped the spare tears from her eyes, turning around to glare at the Hufflepuff.

Pettely saw the girl exit the classroom without turning back, for a momment, he got concerned that the effects of his spell didn't manage to even the effects of hers. Unable to get the justice he desired. Justice in his mind, superfluous revenge in others. 'The spell did get pretty close to her eyes, but if it did damage her in some way, wouldn't have she fought back? Aren't Gryffindors suppose to be brave?

Some parts of him, the part which felt relieved that the girl didn't react, thought logically. Even if he didn't get the justice he desired how will he be able to get it now? The girl must be at least out of the tower considering how much time had past, and it would be impossible to catch up in these moving legs. Besides, he supposed this was all for the better, his own gut wouldn't be big enough to cast another spell at the girl. Consequences exist. And though how arrogant Pettely may be, he's able to understand rules, and knows no student is immune to punishments that comes with if you don't obey.

Focusing on something he far more cared about was the correct thing to do here.

"Luna, I am sorry I yelled at you."

The cat pretended she couldn't hear him, and crawled up on the floor. He had expected her to act like this, after all, not every apology was strong enough to fix the issues between relationships. Even if it was the first one a person had made in years. Pettely managed an awkward chuckle.

"You know, I think the spell is wearing off. Will have to go to my dormitory. You can stay here if you want sometime to think things out. Take as long as you need."

His voice began to shake as he continued.

"Y-you can find a different home if you want to, I don't have the rights to control you. You should make your own decisions, not me."

This time, the cat reacted. It stood up, its tail raising in a sort of question mark shape. She walked towards Pettely whose legs had stop moving, and rubbed her head against them. Purring loudly.

He felt happier than he had in years, and scooped her up gently with his arms.

"No, wait. Walk by yourself."

Luna let out a pleasant meow in response, leapt out of Pettely's arms, and exited the classroom by herself, and out of Pettely's sight. A grin came upon his face.

Pettely headed for the exit too, and walked slowly down the stairs. Only to get his good mood fizzled away with one sight of the Gryffindor girl. 'What was she doing here? Thought she would've been gone by now. This anger and hatred towards her were nothing but spontaneous, for he couldn't even remember why he was so angry!

One glimpse at her eyes implied he shouldn't have been worried about the spell not taking effect. The girl looked like she had been crying for hours. Making Pettely half-glad (about the succeed of his revenge), and half-concerned on what will happen if she reported his action to higher power. This reminded him not to underestimate the symptoms of The Sparks Charm.

"Uhhhh... Reparo!" Pettely said, pointing his finger at her face. He couldn't help it. The 'supposed' joke seemed funny inside his head, and the tension could do with some cool down, for he did not desire to get reported for his imporoper use of magic.

He chuckled at his own humor.

The girl, however, didn't seem to find it funny.

XXXLuna scampered down the stairs behind her, surprising Eonaria. She turned around, blinking the last of her tears away. "Are you following me?" She asked curiously. Then the Hufflepuff came down the stairs, looking just a teeny bit guilty. Eonaria groaned internally. And I only got to look at the stars for, like, two minutes before he came in! He raised his arm and pointed at her, declaring, "Reparo!"

XXX...

XXXEonaria stared at him, unimpressed. "Seriously?" She asked. "You could've actually hurt me with those sparks. I still haven't decided if I'm going to report you or not. And you can't use 'Reparo' on living things." She glanced at Luna, who looked pretty happy now. Honestly, so did he. "Did you make up with your cat, at least?" Eonaria muttered.

XXXSome clock somewhere was ticking. The sound was beginning to get on her nerves, and now they were both standing in an empty hallway, at midnight, which was an excellent way to get caught. "Well, it is definitely getting really late now, so..." Eonaria sighed, shaking her head. "I strongly question your behavior, but I'm going back to bed."

XXXShe stepped forward and scratched Luna behind the ears, half-wondering if he would take offense at that too, and turned to leave. The common room is this way, right? I'm not going crazy? Her steps slowed for a moment as Eonaria quickly reviewed her mental map of Hogwarts. Yes. Yes, it is. Phew. If I had to turn around and walk past that Hufflepuff, that'd be awfully embarrassing.
