Lucas' comment seemed to have gotten a rise out of Lucian. He wasn't entierly sure what to make of the reaction, it was amusing.. But just a bit much over nothing in Lucas' eyes, not that it mattered really, made it all the more entertaining to him. As the other two arrived, Lucas glanced back over his shoulder and nodded at Irina's introduction, before reaching out to shake the outstrook hand "I'm Lucas." He said to both Irina and Thorn.
"Fun scene to have walked up into I'm sure." He turned his attention back towards Lucian. "So angry.." He sighed overdramatically, shaking his head slowly. "A real great threat you protected your friend from.." His voice trailed off, deciding it wasn't worth trying to wind up the other boy any further, even if he did think it would be hilarious.

Larino's thanks came as a suprise, as he didnt' think he had done much inparticular past a somewhat sarcastic comment, but he was more than willing to take any thanks when it was given. "Whatever his name is." He dismissively gestured towards Lucian. "Wasn't too wrong, you should of just said something. Although, I suppose maybe you'd already been pushed.. I dunno." He shrugged, he'd arrived at a weird time, so he might of missed something.

“Whatever his name is,” I glared at the way Lucas seemed to not care.

“Lucian Mornstern,” I answered with a sarcastic smile. “Pleased to meet you,”

"—wasn’t too wrong, you should of just said something. Although, I suppose maybe you'd already been pushed.. I dunno,” Lucas shrugged.

He didn’t really speak to me as he replied to me and Lucas, it was muttered but it made me frown anyways. “That might be more difficult for me than you think,” I looked at him.

“What do you mean?” I asked, not even caring if I (and Ree) was the only that heard him. He had peaked my curiosity now and with how he backed into a corner and tried to hide himself when Ree was talking.

When I started talking about how we met on the wrong terms, I could see how he started listen and un-hide himself. “It’s okay,” he said quietly, I saw something in his eyes. “What you did to me... it's not the first time,”

I took a quick but deep breath and pushed my pride away. “No, Larino, I am sorry and it wasn’t okay. I got ahead of myself without knowing the full story! Um, I shouldn’t have done that. And if someone else does that, feel free to tell me and I will make sure they regret it. Okay?” I asked with a smile, hoping to get him to feel more included? Engaged? I don’t know.

I got deja vu though, because this was essentially how mine and Thorn’s first meeting went down. She (while unknowingly, I hope) put Colin in danger, I snapped at her, she backed up, and now we are friends. With Larino, he was staring at her, I… did more than snap at him and I am apologising. While being friends would be nice, I would settle with being acquaintances.

After I finished what I was originally saying, someone else showed up. “Hi. I’m Taisia,” she said.

“Hey,” I greeted, “You got any beef with any of us?” I asked jokingly, what an afternoon so far.

I heard Larino speak but it was very quiet, “Hi. Your timing may be a little awkward,”

I looked from him to her, “Agreed with Larino. Your timing may be awkward. A lot of tension in here,” I laughed.

He didn't know why he referenced his autism when he muttered about how speaking could be difficult for him at times. Thankfully, after Luci asked why, the conversation quickly moved on, so Larino didn't need to explain everything. Close one, but I can't do that again. Not unless I ever end up trusting these people. He thought, but Luci tried to speak with him again after he said about how it wasn't okay about how he shoved the scrawnier boy, being him, but the final bit really did snap Larino back to reality: "And if someone else does that, feel free to tell me and I will make sure they regret it. Okay?” That earned a small smile from Larino, it being the first time he had smiled in a few hours, perhaps a few days even.

"Okay." He plainly said as another student appeared at the door, which made everything seem very awkward, since everyone else had been arguing and somewhat fighting, or at least the two boys had. Jokingly, Luci asked her whether or not she had any trouble with any of them, and Larino noted how her plain entrance did make everything really quite awkward.

At least the tension between the two boys had dropped a little, or perhaps altogether. Larino was hoping for a fresh start between them, but he didn't know if the feeling was mutual or not.

Thankfully, the tension had dropped as another entered the room, not knowing how tense things had been. Larino hoped for a fresh start between him and Luci, but wasn't sure if they both wanted that or not.

Well...now all of that had become a little embarrassing and awkward. Lucian's words made her feel like a child needing approval and she realized she was showing to much insecurities lately. Normally she's more confident then that and also, she knows better how to hide her row feelings and behave. She had act to much obviously and her friend knows her too well by now to recognize the true intentions behind her words. She had to stop acting so irrational and impulsively or she would make people want to stay away from her. Starting with Larino apparently, she noticed how he had backed away from her when she introduced herself.

Tai's calm introduction came like a bucket of water thrown on all that lit fire from a very heated exchange of words. At least now Lucian was apologizing himself to Larino and offering to come in his defense if something like that happened between him and another person. Rina felt proud in her friend and more ashamed with her own attitude. Now he was being what she knew he was, a good friend and always offering to protect and defend others. That was what he had done for Thorn and now what he was doing for Larino. And she...well, she had been the 'b' word since she had arrived there. "Okay..." She said sighing calmly, "Lets start all over!". She then turned to Taisia, with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, this was really not my idea when I invited you to come here!"

When she looked again to Luci she muttered, "I'm sorry!" with a timid smile. Her eyes passed through Thorn, she wanted to say something to her, but at that time she wasn't ready to say it yet. The girl seemed to have the gift of messing with her even when she wasn't the main cause of the whole situation. "You can always say 'Hi' to me..." She told quietly to Larino. The boy had finally shown a smile at last Luci's words but still seemed to be feeling out of place there and she didn't wanted him to feel like that with her. Also, there was something about him that made her feel that they had more in common then one could tell at first look. Not sure what but...something. "I promise I won't bite!" She said with a smirk and winking at him.

“Feeling jealous pretty boy? Someone was looking at your girl?" Rina smirked. "Ha, He has to do better than that to make me his girl" She cackled. She felt a twinge of sadness that Rina still didn't like her, it was hopeless all she wanted was for her and Rina to be friends. She decided to talk to her privately after everyone else left the tower. She wanted to show her that she wasn't a threat and she wanted to make it up to her."Were just friend Rina, we will never be anything more" she whispered. "ever" she looked at Lucian. "Anyways, Nice to meet you Lucas! were not always like this" she grinned. "And Rina, I owe you an apology for the night in the common room. So I apologize for upsetting you and I hope we can be friends in the near future." she said hopefully. "So guys I was actually planning a couple of pranks while I was up here. I know two people who would be up for a good prank" she smiled looking over at Lucian and Rina. "I was thinking we could pull a Tom riddle and write on the wall with blood. Make them think Voldemorts back"She grinned. "You guys have any idea's" she asked mainly talking to Luci and Rina.

I think everything had calmed down now and Thorn was talking about pranks, my eyes lit up with excitement. “How about that, brought together by coincidence!” I exclaimed, smiling at everyone and then sending a glare at Lucas with no heat behind it. I looked at Thorn again, exhilaration written across my whole body. I started to bounce my hand on my knee. "Thorn, I love it! The messages on the wall in blood!"

Think about it. It could cause so much panic. Probably to the stupid Gryff’s. It would be funny to see the professors get their heads in a twist because even if they don’t believe He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back they could think that someone is trying to take his place.

“We should also do it out of blood! There are what-” I counted us all, “6 of us? Why don’t we do six different messages throughout six weeks? Every Saturday for six weeks in different parts of the school. Saturday because the Dark Lord was killed on the… the 2nd May 19…. 1998! On the first day, the Gryff wall near their dorm? On the last day do it in the abandoned toilets?” I offered, a malevolent smirk spreading on my face as I looked at everyone of us. “Question is, if we go through with this…” I stared at everyone individually, fanatic eyes boring holes in their souls, before continuing, “… are you willing to do it?” I knew I was making this dramatic, but why not?

Chaos ensued as Taisia made her way into the clearing. One boy, who seemed nice enough mentioned her timing was a bit awkward. She let out a small laugh, and nodded her head. She managed to catch the other boys’ name, Lucien Mornstern. He asked if she had any beef with them and she shook her head. Then Nina addressed her, apologising for what had happened since they had come up. “It’s fine, it isn’t your fault.” She didn’t say the last point with anyone directly in mind, and hopefully the others would take it that way also.

The third girl started speaking, telling Irina she was sorry about the other night in the common room- something Taisia made a mental note to ask her about later. Then she dropped the bomb. Talking about pranks? Not Tai’s forte. Sure, a harmless prank or two like putting exploding bon bons into someone’s cereal was fine, but what she had proposed? Writing on the wall with blood. Tai supposed that the plan coming from a girl named Thorn was somewhat expected. After all, who decides to name their child after something that could hurt you so much? However, it seemed that some of the others were on board. Lucien had already started to help her figure out the details. Sure, his knowledge of dates was surprising, although considering he was a Slytherin, knowing He Who Must Not Be Named’s death was less so.

An uneasy feeling had kicked in. Taisia did not want to be associated with writing messages (in REAL BLOOD?!) on the wall to pretend He Who Must Not Be Named was back! Either she had to persuade them to stop or get out. “Is this really the best idea? I mean, pretending He Who Must Not Be Named is back?” She had not gotten herself into a good situation. As soon as she had heard the arguing she should have left.

The girl whose name, he had picked up, was Irina started to speak to Larino: "You can always say 'Hi' to me... I promise I won't bite!" Then smirked, and winked at him. He had come out of his corner a little bit, in both the mental and physical sense, but was still a little unsure of everything. Then, Thorn began to talk about... pranking..?

He had zoned out of it a little, but she said: "I was thinking we could pull a Tom riddle and write on the wall with blood. Make them think Voldemorts back." This perked Larino's interest, as he was hoping for a way to come out of his comfort zone, and maybe gain a reputation. But this... was it maybe a little too far?

Lucian started to really plan everything then. Six students, six weeks, six messages on the walls in blood. Larino expected that they would do one each, and he had already made up his mind: he was in. Making a school-wide panic about he-who-must-not-be-named returning definitely seemed enough.

“Question is, if we go through with this… are you willing to do it?” Lucian said, making everything dramatic. Despite everything that had happened, Larino was wiling to be in on this with him, and everyone else. When he was about to say that he was in, Taisia mentioned that she didn't think it was a good idea. Somehow finding his confidence in everything, and despite everything that had happened, Larino said: "Oh, come on, you couldn't possibly be scared, could you?" He said, looking over at her. Then he added, for good measure, looking straight at everyone, "I'm in."

There were now six of them in the tower, and Thorn had the idea of pulling pranks, starting with writing on the walls in blood around the school. Every Saturday, for six weeks, since there was six of them. Larino was in, but he did make a little comment to Taisia about not being scared, even though he would have been the same, if it weren't for everything that had just happened.

Lucas glanced between the other people gathered as apologies were passed around about a previous incident. Quite a few of them seemed to be at least somewhat familiar with them, and to further make him stick out like a sore thumb, he was the only Gryffindor here.

Lucas frowned slightly as Thorn bought about an idea for a prank. It could be funny for sure, but it felt a bit obvious, and he wouldn't be suprised if it had been done many times before. Then again, if a group worked on it, maybe it'd be more believable. "I don't know why you'd start with Gryffindor walls." He responded to Lucian. "Not sure why any Tom Riddle would announce their return, or whatever with Gryinffdor." He shrugged, before quietening down again. He'd suggest Slytherin, but again that was a bit too obvious.

He glanced over towards Larino, somewhat suprised by how quickly he had grew a pair, from someone who had seemed somewhat cowardly to be willing to do something which could land him in deep trouble so quickly was a suprise. "I'm in to do a prank, that could be quite funny, but I have a few issues with that idea. Firstly, don't you think it'd take a fair amount of blood to write out messages? I'm not going to hurt myself for some stupid prank." which unless there was somewhat magical way to create blood, he figured that was a pretty reasonable counterpoint to make. "Secondly, the places Lucian suggested just don't make sense to me, like I said earlier. If you want reactions, you want places a bit more busy than an abandoned toilet probably." He also wasn't confident in the reactions to this prank being particularly amusing, but he'd keep those thoughts to himself for the time being.

"Oh come on Gryffindork, isn't it obvious we would write on the walls by Gryffindor because that was Harry Potters house." she said rolling her eyes, she couldn't stand other houses she could make a few exceptions but this boy was just plain dumb. "Plus who said anything about hurting ourselves? Did you know you can draw 4.5-5.5 liters of blood from a body without having any side effects? If we each draw that much from each of our bodies that should be enough for a couple messages." she giggled looking around at the disgusted faces. "Oh lighten up, I was just kidding we will use chicken blood" she stated before bursting out in a fit of laughter. She could hear a tiny voice in the back of her telling her she was just like her mother and to succumb to the darkness. "Stop, go away" She yelled gripping her hair slightly shaking still hunched over from the laughter. Then just like that the voice was gone. She quickly stood back up acting like nothing had happened."Lucas your right about making the messages more public but that can be more risky, and I do agree with Lucian that the last messages should be in the abandoned toilets since thats where the chamber of seccrets entrance is." she contimplated.
