Do You Dare…? PV Selene Closed

It was a normal-usual day for the young student. Of course with a little chaos here and there and mischief surrounding her. There weren't any valuable pieces of information, or as many other people would call them as, rumors. There is a difference between information and rumors. Selene does admit it herself that she's an informant, someone who knows many things from her resources-well, it is absolutely mandatory to always be resourceful with her being inside the snake den, you'll never know when they'll be at their most valuable price, Selene never tells lies-only something more than the truth. Lies are easy, truth is complex. Today was boring. But every time Selene thinks or says that today is going to be a boring day, somehow she herself got used to the fact that in just mere seconds it could all change 180 degrees. This, as a fact that her gut always tells her, proves to be true.

Some people would say that there were two sides to Selene, her graceful presence that lures people like a facade but in a way that truly seems like a part of her. Or the rule-bender, the bubblegum girl who does not care what manners are, the art of etiquette. Ah, like mother like daughter. Having good manners delivers all sorts of unexpected gains..only if you know how to play the part. Being polite comes in many different forms, people may see you as an ass kisser at first, until they notice it was a strategy. Selene pushed her hair to the back, grabbing her candy cigarettes, no, they weren't real nor were they that common around here, not even Hogsmeade has them. Can you believe it? Bubblegum is actually the product of the wizarding world that not even the muggle-world realizes. Usually, she'll parkour somewhere more silent and more peaceful around the school, fortunately enough for her! She manages to snoop out of the great hall and get some time for herself! The corridors seemed so perfect around this hour. Selene ruffled her hair as she pushed it to the back. The summer air, the soft feeling of a gentle airbrushing her cheeks Selene was never a fan of summer, yet as fall comes closer to it's beginning so will the end of summer. The beauty of seasons, makes her think of that day. She hates summer, but as a person once said, you can't hate without having loved them first. She loved summer. Putting her bubblegum cigarettes inside her pockets. One hand taking it closer to her mouth, her aunt gave it to her as a congratulation for getting good marks on her grades, not just good ones-ones that are perfect in the eyes of the young girl, not because of others' expectations. Selene took a puff from her candy, of course, she was faking it. Hey! Don't even think that her father gave her this carefree! Of course not, her father went out of his way to make sure that the ones they bought were less sweet but of course more healthy. Nothing Selene ever does goes the way she's planned if her father's involved.



With one hand in her pocket and the other one holding her candy, she took the one that was inside her pocket out. Her palm facing her face, the glittery summer light coloring her skin-glimmer of gold. She admired those little moments of peace, her turquoise eyes colored also by the sunlight-making it shine brighter than the moon in blind daylight. Beautiful, such word makes her think about what she finds 'beautiful' in her eyes, she herself that has fallen from her grace or the bittersweet memories of childhood sweethearts? Veelas-those kinds exist, one that can entrance even a hundred soldiers-a fact, not a rumor that has been proven so many times would be the many Veelas inhabitants at Hogwarts. Was she one as well? She wondered so many times about it, a being that could be the definition of a sweet kiss. She was not Veela. she does not blind her victims by her aura she's more than a veela than some others and she knows it. Beautiful. Selene snickered, such word seems so much like a daydream.

While Selene's mind was elsewhere, suddenly someone-a being of the sort, someone who she does not have any info on, for now, suddenly came. “Hello, my friend!” Now, she was definitely sure she didn't know the girl-nor did the girl know who the hell Selene was, doesn't she know that Slytherins can be vicious? Selene widened her eyes slightly when the girl suddenly came like a trainwreck crashing. Maybe this is what happens if Selene wanders off without a care in the world, another Hufflepuff on fire comes running her way. Her candy almost fell, yet Selene made sure to hide it quickly. But really now, friend? Selene had a hunch about what house she was, but perhaps she could be at other houses. Selene mentally sighed as her lips curls into a soft smile. "Friends? Calm down, now, stranger."
Of course the girl had to knew where the line was. “Do you want to take up a challenge?” The girl looked like she was trying really hard to sound nice, how could Selene know-oh because she's mastered the act, a palinoia. But for all people know, backing down from a challenge that you already got yourself into by answering and relying to the girl, truly, Selene could just bend her way out of this but why not just, go with it for once? It's as if the girl was bragging on how shiny her teeth were. Ah yes, dental appointments. “Let’s talk over there if you like.” Selene raised an eyebrow, her smile turning into her infamous devious smirk-oh how fast she could become herself in milliseconds.

Of course, why not play like a fool for once?

"Do lead the way~"
@Lindsey Springhall

“Friends? Calm down, now, stranger.” The girl said with a smile.
Lindsey smirked in her heart. This Slytherin seemed nice, really nice, for she seemed not rejecting her weird “friend” request.
Nah. The Slytherins were all pretty nice, really, from what Lindsey had experienced so far. Noah, Nick, Gerald, and Leonard were all probably the nicest people you could find around Hogwarts. And this girl, possibly the first Slytherin girl she had met, would definitely be nice too.
“Do lead the way~” The girl said merrily after hearing Lindsey’s request. Ah, great.
“Okay, so first, in case you are wondering, I’m Lindsey Springhall.” She stated. “And we would be playing a game. A small game, I promise.”
Would it be a small game? Lindsey had no idea, but she guessed that it wouldn’t be “small” to the Slytherin. And she couldn’t win, probably.
“The task is mainly for you. I’d be introducing my whole family——a large amount of people and their backgrounds and family histories and features——to you. And you’d be answering my random quiz. If you managed to answer them all, then, I would do a favor for you or tell you a secret——your choice on what kind of secret. If you failed, then, you do a favor for me or tell me a secret. Simple enough?”
Simple. Ah she’s a good comforter. The Springhalls had connections with Fostoncy, Linfield, Lin, and even Ellient, Solaci, and many more. But, the girl would be lucky——Lindsey had decided that only family members that had blood related with her would be introduced.
Nah, she’d got to revise them again. Sometimes the bright eyed girl could not remember everything well, and as a result, today was kind of a revision. It’s always good with a helper.
She grinned, and looked up to the girl.
“Okay, so, up for it now?

@Selene Ackermann

Ah, Selene was not supposed to be surprised but she was, the aura that emits from the girl with her being so excited, bubbly, perhaps? Selene wouldn't be too sure about that. a part of her kept her guard off if the girl tried to play tricks on Selene or maybe she was just a two-face, not the best at it like Selene but if she fits the criteria of it, there could be possibilities of the girl's purpose, either it could the information Selene almost has on everyone or the fact that the girl's family were one of those people. although she was not so sure yet of what the girl's capabilities would be-if she was one of those people, then Selene had to be more cautious, yes-spells can do many things but the consequences of your action react faster than any magic she had ever seen, therefore if the aura that's emitted from the girl is nothing more than mist covering something further that lies beneath, she'll be ready. As she has said before, let's play the fool for once. Ironically, she had always been the fool.

The sly smile plastered on Selene's face still intact, as she furthermore examines and predicts the girl's next move based out of body-language. Selene took a deep breath as the girl opens her mouth. Hopefully, she won't say anything that's completely out of the line. True, Selene's very patient but that also means the level of annoyance to someone if they ever did disturb, which most of the time happens-does not end well for both sides. Once the girl introduced herself, it would only be polite to return the favor, "Ackermann." Selene said giving the girl a soft smile, being polite comes with its unexpected advantages. Selene mentally decided to play nine towards the girl, it doesn't mean that she'll escape from Selene's grasp, oh no! It'll only get her strings attached between her fingers. “And we would be playing a game. A small game, I promise.” Selene's smile fades, watching the girl with a focused gaze. Ah yes, come to think of it, her name might ring a bell later on so she'll have to remember it the same as she remembered every detail of every student that caused the wildfire to themselves. By replying to the girl and being her one lucky 'victim' they're already playing the victim, aren't they? Selene did to have a choice to move away or go away, she decided upon herself the moment she replied to the girl that she'll agree. The prize was something Selene considered, to be very valuable after all. She was already known for her intel on much information, her first name is already a mystery-for some, but as summer comes and go it hides behind torn newspaper once more, her last name was already enough for people to know her-mostly muggles. "Promises?" Selene stifled a laugh, pushing her hair to the back as it shines in brown highlights. "Yeah right." She said glaring at no one in particular but it quickly dissipates, promises were made to be broken off in the end anyway. They're nothing more than sugarcoated lies. Selene cleared her throat, grabbing a gum from her pocket as she opened the wrapper and throws it to her mouth. The feelings that were once buried inside seems to have resurfaced from the soils and ashes of her old-heart, she wanted to throw a tantrum, great, mirrors and reflections of her childhood haunted her once more, unfortunately for the girl “The task is mainly for you. I’d be introducing my whole family——a large number of people and their backgrounds and family histories and features——to you. And you’d be answering my random quiz. If you managed to answer them all, then, I would do a favor for you or tell you a secret——your choice on what kind of secret. If you failed, then, you do a favor for me or tell me a secret. Simple enough?” Selene awaited the girl's explanation as she blow her bubblegum as it made a 'pop!' "If I may make a suggestion as your lucky player of the day.." She said her turquoise-sea like eyes looking directly at the girl. "May I add a few rules? Let's see, First. No telling lies nor subterfuge your way out of it, it is almost a game of charade is it not? Two. Be honest about your story, if you make a detail wrong or if somehow your tongue slips and said false information, I win or if I found wrong in your details. Third, Do not test me and my limit of tolerance towards your choice of words, after this, we are merely people who know each other's name, excluding you made this game by telling me your tragic backstory of the day, tragic or not don't make me lose my buzz." Selene said crossing her arms, was she going, to be honest? We'll see how the game goes. "Fourth, do not break the rules or even try to cross your fingers behind your back, cross it in front of me so I'll know we're playing this dirty." Selene didn't care much of what the other person thought of ll these rules Selene made, after all, every game has their own rules-and with every rule comes a way to bend them. It's rather more exciting to get front-stabbed than in the back, by doing so you can take the role of being the one stabbing in the back. "Do we have an agreement, Springhall?"
