Kiss? What kiss? There was a kiss? Of course I'd know, but Siege might as well be lost in some swamp with no idea as to what to do or where to go...So...How does he find a way out? Who was he kidding? A kiss? He'd never even remember doing such thing? Surely he'd have remembered kissing those soft lips of hers, should he be guilty of... whatever she was talking about.
He had so many things to say, yet he could not formulate them. Things like "What." "What?" "Whaaa?"and "WHAT IN THE F****** WORLD IS GOING ON?". Very different, yet convey the same message of confusion he was feeling then. A kiss? Really? Was this some dumb prank played on him? God must be playing a trick on him...Yes that must be it. A trick, a prank perhaps? He never pegged Serena for the type to like pranks, much less make trouble, especially not to him! Maybe it's Delilah's trick? Is she the mastermind?...Oh wait yes, she must be the mastermind of all of this! There was no kiss! Hell he didn't even remember doing anything of the sort...
Although no matter he tried to wrap his head around the sweet voice that told him his poisoned dagger to the walls he's built up...The walls that came tumbling down as soon as he hears her, sees her...It wasn't helping how he utterly looked clueless and guilty at the same damn time. His fingers touched his lips, as if trying to recall the feeling of Serena's lips, although his face slowly turned into a shade of red, a crimson shade none have probably seen before. His eyes darted from place to place, anywhere that's not Serena, although the next time that he would hear her speak would snap him back to reality, although a bit too much, considering his heart was on a one way trip down to splash-town.
"Just... stay the hell away from me and my friends." He didn't know how to react with this one. Mad? Sad? Guilty? All emotions he never really paid attention to. He wasn't an emotional person, he rarely showed emotion, preferring to keep a mask on him at all times, a mask that helped him live to go to Hogwarts today.
"Yeah...My bad...Guess I'll go then." Siege would say, although this time, it wasn't a boring or indifferent tone. It was broken, as if his hopes of ever saving a friend was crushed by an insurmountable weight. He already lost her once...Me and him thought it impossible, but he was about to lose something valuable to him once more. "F***" A Slight whisper would come out of his breath as he moved towards Reid and Delilah...The least he could do was bring them up...After all...He was prefect now.

His shoulders drooped as he glanced between the two, he felt defeated as he really didn't know what happened. It was hard to not admit, he was biased towards Serena's side and thus it was her words he leaned towards. Yet the guy looked pretty distraught himself and it made Reid question as to why. He was merely observing and he was afraid of how high the tension was escalating. At some point, he opened his mouth to say something before briefly being shut down with the way they began talking to one another.
Even with the way Serena had spoken stung him, not that he was hurt by it. But if he was on the other end of the iron, surely he would feel the searing pain. The Head Boy's brows came together, concerned at the two of them as he watched it all play out like some mystery. A kiss, a misunderstanding, and now this confrontation to tie it all together. Reid wasn't a detective, but he was instilled with enough common sense to put two and two together. It wasn't the whole picture, but the fragments slowly came together and he really found himself out of his league.
His attention was yanked from the scene that unfolded to Delilah as she apologized. Oh man, even she looked like she was about to keel over. "Delilah, don't worry about it. I'm not dead or anythi - oh whoa, okay!" Reid dashed forward and despite being late, still posted himself by the fallen Ravenclaw. It hurt to make such a quick motion, to dash and kneel on his bad leg had pain shoot up to his pelvic. It was probably still raw.
Yet he merely winced, seething slightly through his teeth as he gave Delilah a once over. Did he have to carry her? Perhaps she'd wake up soon. He heard the boy speak and looked over his shoulder. In the meantime, he was taking his cardigan off to fold it into a makeshift pillow. He was glancing between Serena and the Gryffindor, his brows still scrunched before looking back towards the girl.
It was the worst time to pass out, but he couldn't blame her - maybe she was just tired. He didn't know. Either way, Reid tucked the cardigan under her head and made a quick check to make sure she wasn't bleeding or anything. He would take Delilah if it wasn't for the fact that he was still concerned about the other two behind him. What business did he have? He certainly didn't feel right by butting in whilst the other boy was there, but maybe he could ask Serena later.
"Trouble usually finds me."

Assumptions
Serena's full attention was on the Gryffindor boy standing in front of her. She could not even hear the words being spoken behind her at this point. The tears streamed down her face, despite her best efforts not to cry. But her mind was clouded by the anger she felt and her heart was broken by the sadness. Empathy was hard to muster up when your mind was overpowered by the hatred. It was hard to consider how other people felt in this moment in time. Her brain was so clouded that she couldn't see the pain on his face or hear the brokenness of his voice. All she knew was that she was in a lot of pain.
Right now, she took everything he did literally. He touched his lip as though he recalled the kiss. His face had a guilty expression it, perhaps mixed in with clueless. Guilty for kissing her and clueless as to why she was mad, perhaps? Serena was assuming, after all, today was just full of assumptions. Incorrect assumptions. She clenched her hands into tight fists. Siege was thinking about the kiss, and did not seem to care about her feelings. There was no apology. There was nothing.
In truth, she was not sure what she expected or wanted from him. She just wanted the pain in her chest from losing her friend and feeling so betrayed to stop. Serena was a Hufflepuff, after all. She valued loyalty above all else. Where was his? Where was his loyalty to their friendship? He seemed to have just cast it all aside like it did not matter.
She looked away, as she heard him say he will go now. Perhaps this was for the best. He could walk away for the second time and that would be the end of everything. Hopefully, they would not be back here tomorrow having the same argument again. Serena was not sure her fragile heart could handle the pain of confronting a friend again and again. It was bad enough doing it once, heart-wrenching enough to have to do it twice... a third may actually just destroy her soul at this point. Of course, it would not in reality but she felt like it would. Losing a friend was terrible. Especially when it was one that you trusted the most.
Right now, of the three people in the corridor, she still cared about him the most. She barely knew Delilah, she had only met the girl once before for a brief period. Both times, she had just been crying her eyes out so far... Not the best first impression. Reid was a friend but they did not know each other that well. Siege, however, she had considered one of her closest - if not the closest - friends. Telling him to leave hurt her more than he could know. But Serena was simply repeating his own desires to him. He had been the one to tell her to stay away, after all.
She turned around to see Reid rushing forward and catching a falling Delilah. Her eyes widened as she quickly hastened forward. Reid had already placed something under her head to help keep her head up. Serena rushed closer, bending down near Delilah to check her breathing, "Sh- Delilah? Can you hear me?" Serena started, wondering how they were going to managed that. She could feel the girl was still breathing, which was definitely a good sign. But her concern was trying to get the girl there. Reid was already injured, she didn't want to ask him to carry her and she was not entirely sure she could carry her by herself.
Serena freaked out internally, trying to figure out what to do as she was checking Delilah's breathing and attempting to wake her up by gently shaking her. She did not want to hurt her. So she was being gentle but she wasn't entirely sure how much it would help. "We need to get her to the hospital-" Serena was about to attempt to lift her but Siege was already beside her. The Hufflepuff pulled away quickly as she felt his body near hers - since they were all surrounding the Ravenclaw on the floor. She really did not want to touch him, even by accident anymore. The Gryffindor was already in the middle of picking her up before she could even say anything.
"Eh- oh-" She started. She hated this. If she was stronger, perhaps she could help the fellow girl. However, she knew there was no way she could carry her without help and Reid was already injured himself. Delilah was smaller than her but still probably far too heavy for her. Serena's arms were definitely not strong enough to carry someone. She had no choice in the matter. As much as she did not want to rely on the Gryffindor or spend any time with him, she had to, "T-thanks-" she said to Siege, looking away from him. She could not bear to see his face any longer. In fact, being around him was hard enough right now. Serena stared down at the floor, feeling like the useless trash she was. This girl had gotten into this mess to try and hurt Siege for hurting her and yet, Serena could not help her now that she needed it.
Standing up, she looked over at Reid, "You too, let's go." She instructed, offering the boy her shoulder so that he could walk more easily. He took the help that she had offered. Luckily, she was only a few inches shorter than the Hufflepuff fellow so she was a good height for him to rest on. Right now, she just wanted to get the two of them into the hospital and have them checked. The sooner they got to the wing and she knew they were well, the sooner she could stop spending time with the Gryffindor former friend of hers... That was all she wanted right now.
Serena tried to wipe the back of her hand on her face to stop the tears. But there was no point. She continued to cry, her tears falling down her face as she stared at the floor. She wanted to look at anything but Siege, who was in front of her at this point. With that, she attempted to help get them out of here and off to the hospital wing. Her tears flooding the floor below her, her vision hazy as she walked down the corridors in complete and utter silence, just wishing for it to be over.

His mind seriously wasn't paying attention to anything right now...His only task at hand was to get Smarty over to the Hospital Wing. Now that was unexpected, her fainting? Just shows the chances of this girl surviving in the real world...Though he can't talk much, he was bound for either prison or criminal life if he didn't get this opportunity...Hopefully his past won't catch up to him anytime soon. His green eyes would gaze ahead of him, completely ignoring the Hufflepuff next to him, who had just said something. Either he just was that out of it or he really wanted to save Smarty...I have a feeling it was more the former.
"Let's Get you up." Siege's voice would say, quite with no emotion, as if he just turned them off. He didn't sound hurt anymore, or even looked upset. He promised himself to never cry for someone, especially after what she just said...He wanted to feel the anger that he was, oh so used to. He wanted to go back to the times when he'd just randomly get into fights for irrelevant reasons...Now...Well, he's changed, even just stepping in the Cauldron and meeting her changed him... he definitely wasn't the same trouble-making kid anymore, and he didn't know how to feel about that.
Should he be sad? Happy? He didn't know, he didn't wanna feel the pain of feeling for someone...But he also relished in it, a change for once, like opening the window to let the air in. It was refreshing, a refreshing change. He looked down at the girl he was carrying, Ms. Smarty-pants who would have kicked him, if not for that other Hufflepuff kid. It was quite radical for him to be doing this, Siege? Carrying someone to help them? Getting aid for them? Not just leaving them to their own demise? What was he doing? What was going on? He didn't know, nor did he give too much thought about it, he just knew that he'd rather be in the lake or something rather than here.
As he kept looking downwards a speck would drop on Delilah's face, a clear speck...A tear? Tears? More and more specks started falling at a pretty slow rate, but falling nonetheless. He couldn't control them, his heart was burning as if it was in the middle of hell itself. It hurt and he didn't know how to deal with it, nor did he know how to control what his eyes were doing...He'd never cried for someone like this before, in fact he's never cried for anyone...His main thing was anger, he was angry at everything they said, they said he was angry at everyone...But that wasn't true...He was angry because he grew up not knowing what this felt like...How to feel for someone, how to love someone, and how to actually lose someone.
Everyone's lost a friend before and they'll just keep on making new ones...But not Siege. He was hard to approach in the first place and his reputation and attitude does not make it better. His carefree attitude as well as his ability to just absolutely obliterate someone with words were not exactly things that make his attempts at friendship easier, making him to give up at trying to make friendship whatsoever...He was no good at it, not cut out for it and definitely not nurtured and made for it...He thought he could change in this school, he thought he could make Ed proud, he thought he had changed...But apparently not and friendship with anyone...was quite the unreachable dream that he would have...He didn't wanna try anymore...After all... You make more enemies than friends anyways...
