[font=Tempus Sans ITC]T[/font]he great hall in the mornings was like a beehive—all the children with incredible energy from a good night's rest. Well, at least most of the children have slept because there were always the few kids who were consistently terrible at closing their eyes at night. Jack S. Warren was one of those children. But, unfortunately, this year was not starting the way he had wanted it to. Sitting at the Hufflepuff, the boy twiddled his thumbs casually, waiting for the other students to buzz off to class. Punctuality was never Jack's strong suit, but it was of his own volition most of the time. He was rubbing his thumb across the cracked and calloused skin that stretched over his knuckles. Eliso had chosen not to help his hands after the savage beat down Jack gave that gremlin of a child, Matt Pride. The thought of him made Jack sneer and tighten his hand into a fist. Jack was sure angry over this whole damn thing with Winnie for someone who claims that they don't hold grudges. He never was mad about Andrew cutting up his face. In fact, he thought the scar made him seem incredibly cool, but this situation was an entirely different story.
[font=Tempus Sans ITC]J[/font]ack picked at his food, plucking up bacon pieces between his thumb and forefinger before a shock of red hair caught his attention. Several students had red hair, but the former prefect had been on the lookout for one in particular. This one was particularly eccentric and somewhat obsessive, but that's what made her a fun friend to be around, but sadly at this moment in time, Jack happened to be on her shitlist. Bolting upright and onto his feet, the boy quickly dashed after the girl. "Winnie! 'Ey! Hold up" The kid was light on his feet as he danced around those in his way in an attempt to reach his childhood former friend. With each crossover of his feet, or hop sideways, the boy grew ever closer, "Lemme talk to you for a second!" Stretching out his arm, the kid would place his hand on her shoulder-

Jack Warren. A name that had once brought pure joy to Winnie Harper's heart. Her hero as a child, a play mate, her best friend, and yes, the boy had been like a brother to her. Each moment they had spent together had been a calming lull during her isolated childhood. It was true that she still loved him dearly, that would never go away, but there was a new found terror that would claw it's way up her throat every time she had seen him after the incident with Mathias. All she could think about was how her poor boyfriend's face had been bashed in by the Hufflepuff. Hell, he had spent over two weeks recovering in the Hospital Wing. She had heard rumours, whispers that Jackson had lost his prefect badge in response to his violent reaction. Her heart had hurt upon learning this news. She knew how proud Jack was to be a prefect.
It was her fault, really. There had been a misunderstanding. Mathias was not to blame for her lost memories, but Jack believed as much. He was protecting her, she knew that, but the raw power the boy had exhibited was not one she would ever expect from him. Why had he done it? Why that hard...? She still couldn't wrap her head around it. The guilt of Mathias' stay at the hospital wing still weighed heavy on her own shoulders. She still couldn't face Jack, it was best to avoid confrontation. Which is why she tried to weave her way through the mass of students when she heard the former prefect's voice calling out to her.
"Jack...!" Winnie gasped when a firm hand suddenly halted her in place. She was strong, but Jack had always been stronger. The boy towered over her too, 11 inches taller than her even after her summer growth spurt of an entire two inches. Part of her wanted to run over and hug him, to kiss his cheeks and ask if he was okay. But all that came out was harsh words, "What do you want from me?" She asked, her eyes flickering over his form and pausing at the friendship bracelet that was tied around his wrist. A pang rocked her chest. "I... No... I don't have anything to say to you, Jack... You..." She was already starting to tear up. "You broke my heart." And her boyfriend's face.
