Luci was this close to losing count of how many siblings he had now. He had slowly stopped caring about it now; he had stopped caring about a few things. Ever since Christmas... he woke up, went to his lessons, and then retreated to his dorm or the library. The library became his best friend again like when he first joined Hogwarts. He didn't want to abandon his friends this way but it was safer for them, he also wasn't in a happy mood and knew that their happy mood would contrast with his negative one. He didn't want to bring the mood down or make himself feel worse.
Before they had returned to Hogwarts, Sadie had stopped Lucian and asked him to keep an eye on him. The Slytherin boy didn't know why, and he didn't know why this child was special (it seemed like his parents were whispering about him when they thought the boys wouldn't hear them. Lucian had noticed that his hearing was slowly getting better with every month that passed. He sighed, sitting against the wall; the courtyard was fairly secluded right now and the breeze was a gentle push-- a refreshing break from the harsh weather during the winter. Lucian leaned his head back; a soft yawn slipping past his lips. The young boy hadn't been sleeping very well since December, less tolerable, especially as the moon cycles through. "Come on, Castor." He mumbled to himself, sighing. he wanted to get this over and done with so he could go back to his own devices.

The Tour
Fingers digging into dirt, pulling little worms from their dark homes, the wriggling creatures squirmed in his palm as he cupped his hands together. Quickly getting off the ground and running as fast as he could where him and Lucian were supposed to meet up for his tour. His little legs started to burn and his chest heaved up and down. Stopping in the middle of the courtyard and spinning around in a circle until he saw Luci sitting down with his back against the wall. His lips curled up into a grin as he ran over, almost tripping over his feet as he tried to stop on a dime. Taking a second to catch his breath as his lips curled into a grin, the young boy was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet.
"Luci! Luci! Look what I found! I found friends!" He said excitedly, opening his hand to show his brother the worms, wriggling about in his cupped hand, but one managed to work it's way out of his cupped hand, falling and landing smack dab in the middle of Lucian's chest, and Castor's lips quickly turned into a pout, his bottom lip jutted out and his blue eyes went wide. "No! Gregford! Luci don't hurt him!"

He tilted his head when he heard his name, sighing again when he saw his 'brother'. He raised his eyebrows, his eyes soon widening when he saw the wriggling critters in Castor's hands. "Eww." He commented with a wiry smile. Things like that never actually irked him, he spent many nights craving raw meat ... but when the worm landed on him he flinched away, only stilling when he heard his brothers call. "Well get it off of me then!" He cried, grimacing. he didn't want his robes to have all worm slime on them! "Be more careful. Wouldn't want to drop one and step on it." He grumbled. Lucian loved all creatures (apart from spiders) and he would never dream of killing one, but he was in a grumpy mood.
He curled his hand and got the wriggling creature on his palm, watching him move for a moment. He sometimes wondered what life was like as a creature like this-- so small, unthreatening, and not a clue what was happening in the world. No responsibilities. "Here." Lucian held his hand out, the worm not moving now as it seemed to try and asses its surroundings. "Find a box for it or something, make sure you don't squash it with your hand." And then he added, "That would suck." With a forced smile. He felt a little selfish, ever since Easter when he had met back us with Beatrice... he had realised how much he missed her. Missed seeing her smile, hearing her laugh. "Not sure how you would worm your way out of that one..." He poorly joked, referencing his earlier statement of squishing the animal.

Mentioning:Beatrice hurried through the halls, her unbuttoned robes flying back and her satchel sitting heavily on her shoulder. She had been in the library for the past hour and now desperately needed some fresh air. The only place she had made a stop at was her dorm, to get Adalaide who was now peacefully walking beside her owner. The brunette’s thoughts were swarmed by Charms flying through her head, Dark Arts taking up another corner and magical plants growing in every direction. It hadn’t been long since they came back from Easter break, not more than a week, but the Hogwarts Grounds somehow felt different than before they had left. Perhaps it was that plants were finally growing and the sun was coming out but perhaps it was also that before Easter Break, Beatrice had been in peace about not talking to Lucian. Now she wasn’t anymore. While they hadn’t conversed a whole lot at their families dinner, it had been painful for her to act like she was okay with the way he had left her behind.
Her shoes left a clicking sound on the stone floor, until she finally stepped out and took a deep breath. The sun was shining down on her and the other students that had taken up the courtyard. She took a moment to appreciate it and just take it in, before she stepped forward and let her gaze grace over every Student in the Courtyard. It wasn’t until her eyes met the familiar yet strangely unfamiliar face of her best friend. Well, the boy she had thought to be her friend. She stopped near them, in hopes he hadn’t seen her yet so she could just walk around them and away. There was a boy which she didn’t know. He was holding something. It was… moving? Beatrice squinted her eyes and as one of the wiggling objects fell on Lucian, she finally recognized the worms. A small smile spread across her face at Lucian’s cry and grimace.
He gave it back to the slightly smaller blonde boy and Beatrice wanted to look away but something inside her stopped her. "Not sure how you would worm your way out of that one..." It didn’t take more for a bubbly laugh to suddenly crack from between her cherry red lips. Beatrice’s eyes widened and she stopped immediately, cheeks blushing and remembering she was not supposed to laugh at anything he said. It hadn’t been just his sentence, it had been that he finally seemed light hearted after all this time of looking like his whole world had fallen apart. Beatrice practically froze in place, staring at him with a soft yet sad smile. If he looked back at her, she would turn and quickly act like she didn’t see him. But she didn’t quite calculate her precious kitten into this, because that little fur ball traitor went right into Lucians direction. He was pretty much the only male person she liked going near and she hadn’t seen him in months.

The Tour
His eyes watched his brother's hands carefully. Drop one? Step on it?! No, no he wouldn't do that! Castor would never hurt his little wormy friends. They weren't things to just be stepped on, they were little slimy, living beings. Holding out his hand and watching as the worm dropped into his palm and began to slither around again with his other friend. Castor was holding two worms, Gregford and Jeremias. "Box.. box.. box, Luci! I need you to get me a box!" The blonde boy stared at his brother for a moment before realizing he didn't say please, his pale white face heated up with a pink tint as he quietly mumbled the next words. "Please...?" He pleaded, gently clasping his hands together in a praying motion, but making sure not to crush the worms in his palms. Castor was still bouncing on the balls of his feet when his ears picked up on probably the most majestic sound he's ever heard.
Castor swore he almost got whiplash from how quickly his head turned. His hands slowly dropped to his sides as his bright blue eyes went, as wide as they could go. His jaw almost dropped, the slippery worms in his hands slid through his fingers, splattering against the ground and sinking into the dirt. His stomach felt like it was doing flips as he stared at the pretty woman off to the side. Blindly kicking his leg out towards his brother, when he finally made contact. He glanced down, only to realize he had kicked Lucian right in the side. his nose scrunched slightly as he shifted on his feet.
"Lu! Luci! Lucian! She's really pretty! She's like the most beautifulest-est person i've ever seen in my whole entire life!" Castor thought he was being sneaky with his whispering, but in reality, he was just whisper screaming. So Beatrice could hear him pretty well. He kicked Lucian in the side again and motioned to the woman. "Lucian look!" He said one again, his face heating up, instead of his cheeks tinging their usual pink color, his face had decided to take on another color. A bright red noticeable look covered his cheeks, all the way to the tip of his nose.
"Do you see her, Lu? Do you? Do you, do you, do you?" Castor questioned obnoxiously, his lips had curled up into a bright smile, showcasing his bright white teeth. "Oh.. my... god... You and her look to be the same age!! You should go talk to her!" He said as he tried nudging Luci towards the woman. Castor quicky adverted his gaze when he realized he was staring at her, angling his gaze downwards towards his brother.
