The arrival of other students had seemed to distract Sky slightly and she turned to face them slowly, amusement carved into her features as she took in the appearance of a hufflepuff girl, standing by the door, her arms crossed, throwing out a cheery comment to the already tense atmosphere. “Wotcher doing ari?” Oh great, another of Walkers cronies, she expected, although as she had never yet seen the girl in company with her worst enemy, so in fact, dare she say, one of the gryffindors admirers? She felt like being sick. If it wasnt that she was mildly enjoying the effect she was creating, her absence would have already been heard of. Her lip curled venomously as she took in the gryffindors panicked appearance, mild entertainment concealed behind her features. She had never before seen the girl so distressed, what could possibly be in her that she wanted to shroud from the eyes of onlookers?

The presence of a redheaded boy caught her attention as he stood at the classroom entrance, a malicious smirk etched upon his features. Sky really couldn't register the feelings she felt towards him. The fact that he was a gryffindor would have been enough to repulse her. Yet, his tone, his willingness to see how such an evil act would unfold, it seemed so, Slytherin. Or even if it was not an act that would surely classify him within the snake house, it was something evil no doubt, something in which Sky almost admired, something she possessed herself as a trait. He seemed so unlike the girl in front of her, how were they even in the same house? He didn't appear to exhale the bold, reckless, bravado demeanour that inhabited most gryffindors, especially Walker. Instead he spoke with a rather amused drawl, the words reaching sky as she struggled to place him in a certain category within her. She didn't necessarily dislike the boy at present. No, in fact he seemed to amuse her slightly, if anything.

This of course didn't make Sky forget the fact that he was of all houses a gryffindor. No doubt he was extremely annoying, she could so far contemplate that. Then again so was the hufflepuff girl, more so now she came to think of it. Who were they to intrude on such a, dare she say, personal attack on her enemy? Her smirk deepened even further, personal views could sadly only be registered on Walkers side, the girl was no doubt in a vicious state of panic, Sky on the other hand had no feeling involved within the dark plot, then again, did she ever? The presence of the newcomers had now started to irritate her, the crawling itching feeling of annoyance clouding her plans ever so slightly as she pushed away the mild desire to throw the book across the room and leave, she didn't care at all for what was hidden inside after all. Then again, wasn't an audience what she was striving for at this point? The more people the girl was humiliated in front of, the better for her…

The boys' careless comment received bitter indignation from Ariana. She snapped back menacingly, of course, she couldn't keep her mouth shut for 5 seconds. Typical. Sky could see the rage burning in Ariana's eyes,which only provoked her more into smirking maliciously, brushing her fingers along the spine of the book in a way to raise the gryffindors panic, if possible, even further.

The presence of, yet again, another student caught her attention. Eyes narrowing suspiciously as she internally groaned, of course, here she was, the best friend arriving to save the day was she? “Jackson, I see you've stumbled upon our, ah, little meeting, or should I call it a confrontation, as your dear Ariana seems in a slight state of panic just about now, don't you think?” She gestured to her nemesis carelessly ,before she was rudely interrupted by the stupid hufflepuff girl, who seemed to think that she could blow Sky of course with a tap of her wand. The idea was laughable, so absurd. It seemed Sky had forgotten to hide her expressions in that instant, for mere confusion, or was it downright astonishment, was spread widely across her face, swirling its way across her lips as she furrowed her eyebrows together. Hastily rearranging her expression, and resuming the upright position in which she had previously been standing, she spat waspishly at the doorway, “Really stupid girl, you think you can scare me? Ha! I'm not at all intimidated by your petite bravado scene back there, you seem a little overconfident don't you think?” There was more to come following this, but she was stopped by the words of the ravenclaw girl, who up until this point, Sky hadn't even realized, was there. “Look everyone- maybe this is just a misunderstanding.If your not apart of the problem, then just let them figure it out by themselves." Something Sky surely would have agreed with, if it weren't for her upperhand in Walker's humiliation, it was too good to let go of now, so intriguing, she desired to see the final result.

“I'm giving you one last chance. Give it back. Now”

The words came out unexpectedly cold, demanding and for a second Sky froze, contemplating her answer.

“You know what Walker? No. Let's see what you’ve really got against me shall we?” and with that she stood up, facing the girl in front of her, flickering the pages, her lip curling. She wasn’t going to back down this time.

No, the girl could come and get it herself.

OOC: Short and quick post. Seems people are anxious.

“You heard it Pinky, hand it over that’s not yours.”

Janet had arrived at the scene. A sense of relief flowed temporarily though Ariana as she flickered her gaze over to her best friend. Although, it mingled curiously with something that felt similar to shame. The feeling prickled savagely up her spine, the effect being something that made her want to yell at the audience to back off, to leave her. She could sort this out herself! Yet people felt she needed help, didn't they know that threats weren't going to work against the snake?

“Give it back!”

Ariana heard Mays yell from far off, yet she didn't comment on the girl's vain attempt in demanding that sky drop the diary. She gritted her teeth, there was a squirming feeling jabbing at her, deep in the pit of her stomach- she couldn't pin a finger on the irksome feeling. Her attempt at containing her anger had failed miserably, her cheeks were flushed with exasperation, her green orbs flickering pique resentment towards her nemesis, who stood, steps away, smirking. And the pink haired girl was now opening her mouth, as though in slow motion Ariana waited anxiously, internally shaking apprehensively. What was she going to respond with?

"Seems you have other things to worry about, eh?" It was thought time had stopped temporarily. Ariana's eyes flickered to the entrance again, momentarily resting them on the boy, who stood there, rapt with amusement. Her expression mingled with shock and fury. Yet confusion still rippled carelessly across her fair features, she was unable to speak for a moment, her thoughts scattered, lost within the confusion.

And it was as if time had suddenly come to a jolt, or rather resumed its normal pace, as the snake voiced the phrase the gryffindor had, almost, been waiting for.

“You know what Walker? No. Let's see what you’ve really got against me shall we?”

And almost instantly Ariana leapt at the girl, her hair flying as she tackled her without thought, her attempts at grasping touch, any feeling, with the diary were more desperate than ever. She felt nothing but pure hatred for the girl who she now fought with for the miniscule leather bounds, and she yearned to punch her square in the face as she reached for the diary, knocking it from the snake's grasp.

It was sent flying.

It skidded across the floor landing not far off, sliding gracefully along the polished wood. At this point Ariana didn't care, she didn't care at all. Adrenaline was now building up inside of her, pulsing through her veins. She felt free from the bounds of superior restrain, because this time she was in control. This time she knew what she was going to do. She stood up again, brushing her hair out of her eyes, her eyes wild. And this time, without thinking, she reacted.

It was the train scene all over again, the day she had met her sworn enemy, the day from the first year carriages. The day this endless rivalry had begun. It was as if she had been taken back to that memory, her instinct hitting her ferociously, suddenly, leaving her with nothing else to do; pushing her aggressively towards the target.

She swung.

Her fist triumphantly made contact with flesh, satisfaction burning through her, sweeping out her embarrassment. It was as though she knew what she was doing, but at the same time she was utterly clueless, Sky had not raised a finger against her, why should she have made the first violent move? But there was no time to ponder on the thought, as she fought through the tangle of chairs, in an attempt to knock the pink haired girl aside. Her green orbs in desperate search of…

There it was again. She kicked the book with her free foot in the opposite direction, toward the entrance, in an attempt to space the distance between it and Sky. Moving between the desks she glanced around, her gaze locking on the journal, her hands flailing as she reached for the book that lay innocently at the red-headed boys feet…

Sky should have known not to mess with Ariana.

A punch was sent flying towards the pink haired girl with a very angry brunette behind it. Janet felt as if she should be doing something to help. She was unsure what secrets the diary contained but she was certain of one thing, it was a secret and she couldn’t let anyone find out what it was. A plan quickly started to unfold in her mind. She had to grab Ariana and the diary and get out of here before any of the witnesses began to get curious. She didn’t know if they would go so far as to steal the diary to know Ariana’s secret (apart from Sky of course) but they should probably escape before they started to ask questions. Ok step 1, get the diary. As soon as Ariana’s fist made contact with Sky’s face the diary went flying to the ground and landed at the feet of the smirking red haired boy. Janet leapt into action and ran to get her hands on it before anyone else. By now Janet was blinded by rage. What were all these witnesses doing here anyway? Janet had only come to find Ariana as her missing presence had not gone unnoticed by her best friend. These people on the other hand... Janet couldn’t remember ever meeting most of these people on her life! Apart from May of course.. May Moonstar! Everywhere she went in the castle she seemed to be there. Always interfering. Janet shoved May aggressively out of the way as she dived for the diary.
”Out of my way May!”She snarled. She dived for the journal that lay innocently at the feet of the red-headed boy. Her desperation to reach the worn pages, to make contact with the leather skin, they all hit her as she focused on one thing. Getting the diary back.

"Give it back!"

Sky had to admire the fire that powered the small badger. Yes, her attempt was feeble, but there had to be credit given for her persistent yelling. Sky came to wonder why the girl was even here in the first place. She had no business here, did she? The hufflepuff stared daggers at Sky, looking as though she longed to fire a spell at the Slytherin. Sky however, stared calmly back into her piercing gaze, suppressing a laugh as she realised how much of a vulnerable state the girl was in.

“This is between Walker and I, Badger, you have no business here- I suggest you clear off. As should you Ravenclaw.” She shot the bird a confused look. She usually got on well with Ravenclaws, she had nothing against them at all- they were in fact quite intriguing, in Skys opinion anyway.

“You heard it Pinky, hand it over that’s not yours.”

The pathetic moniker did nothing to improve Skys mood, nor did it degrade it even further. She bit back a snarl, turning as sticking her nose in the air in a very princess-like manner.

Yet, maybe it was her words that had set the girl off and then perhaps the fact that she hadn't been concentrating enough, that she was knocked off balance, the blow of Ariana's punch knocking the sense of reality out of her.

She fell into the desks behind her, and they were dragged backwards, the deafening screeching sound reaching her ears just as…

The diary was knocked from Skys grasp and she shoved Ariana with as much strength she could muster, struggling to free herself from the tangle of desks and chairs.

She now stood fully upright, blocking Walker from reaching the diary. She inwardly cursed herself, she had been so close. Why did the gryffindor always have to get the better of her?

It seemed that in her momentary loss of attentiveness she didn't see the lion's foot dash between her legs and kick the diary across the room, so that it skidded to a halt at the redhead boy's feet.

Ugh great.

She reacted, shoving Ariana as hard as she could, although she had to admit she wasnt that powerful on the physical side.

Shoving her way through the tangles she reached the door, stooping down to tug the diary from Janet's hands. The whole scene must have looked utterly ridiculous, but at this point [for once] Sky didn't care. “Give that to me Jackson!” She spat, swiping the diary from her grasp.

Their efforts had succumbed to nothing, their fate had been inevitable, Sky had won this time round. She had got the better of the stupid girls. Now to read what it said. She flicked to a random page, watching out of the corner of her brown hues to observe Walker's expression.

“Lets see!” She voiced aloud, her tones carried obvious excitement. “Well well,”

She read the first line, furrowing her eyebrows a little. "This isn't a diary." This was a book of clues and evidence, criminal investigations. Sky held the book a little further from her, raising her eyebrows. “June 17th….Alejandras disappearance....” She said the words aloud, almost forgetting who was in the room with her. A guilty jolt hit her in the gut, she shouldn't have been reading this. This was personal. A single photo slipped from between the pages, and Sky didn't bother picking it up, although she might have seen the flash of two girls in the picture. Her eyes cast down to the floor when the photo now lay, she observed them laughing happily, was that her sworn enemy in the photo?

Something however, stopped her from placing the book on the desk and walking away. Had the very girl in front of her, her enemy, the obnoxious, irritating, annoying gryffindor, been involved in such a dark situation? That was absurd, she always acted the hero, disgustingly bravado- why did it then say here that-

No that was enough, she stepped back, slightly nervous. It hadn't been the girl's fault. Not at all. Wait a second, why was Sky defending her? Ugh this was confusing.

She clutched the book in her hand, closing the front cover, looking over the rim. Her face was paler than it had been before, what had that girl gone through? Maybe that's why she had such an unfortunate temper- Sky couldn't stand her, however she felt something similar to, was it pity? Squirming in her stomach.

“I-” She started. Yet she didn't proceed, she didn't say anything else. She didn't know what to say anyway. How was she to forget such a dejected secret?

-Sorry for the late post! I've had exams

Interacting w/@Ariana Walker,@Sky Evans, and @May Moonstar.

Before all of this diary drama had began to unfold,Lucille could still only think about the privet contents that were in the small journal of her own, simply laying in a desk about five feet away from her. Lucille should have simply grabbed it and ran, this situation wasn't about her, it was about Evans and Ariana. But now? Lucille didn't know weather to run, or to try and break things up, because thing were escalating FAST. Moonstar had sucker-punched Janet in the face, though of course not long after Ariana had tackled Evans off balance, also punching her, since that seemed like the best option now. The gremlin Gryffindor boy had left the room with a smirk on his face, as if this were only another day at Hogwarts. How could anyone stand this anymore? As the Ravenclaw was prepared to retreat from the situation along with the boy, she heard Evans begin to read from the actual diary. Hearing what came out of the Slytherin's mouth only made Lucille freeze with her hand over her mouth in shock. She had pure sympathy for the Gryffindor, whoever this Alejandra was, must've meant quite a lot to Ariana, and if this still wasn't a crime scene of school rules broken, Lucille would've felt like hugging the poor girl.

"Don't you all want to stop this madness?"The Ravenclaw asked trying not to sound distressed."You've all gone to far,so I suggest that we forget this ever happened."Lucille added looking back at the Evans girl. As Lucille rushed over to the desk with her note-book in it, she gave a sigh of relief. Not daring to look back she went through the classroom door not to walk away, but instead to shut it behind her as her heart began to race. "How could I just let it happen?"Lucille asked herself quietly aloud, while still leaning on the door. "Good luck"The Ravenclaw said a bit louder, not sure if the girls inside would actually hear.
"You'll need it."
