Rory was walking through the halls with his head held high; not that it wasn’t normal for him, but this time it was for good reason. He had actually gotten decent marks on his homework, passes a quiz, and earned points for his house. So far it had been a great week for him so far. He wondered what he would do with his time now that his classes were over for the day and he was somewhat caught up on the assignments.
As he was walking, he managed to bump into someone that was coming down the hall.

Matty was walking down the hall, whistling to himself. Today was a good day! So far he hadn’t misplaced anything nor had anything gotten lost. He hadn’t even fallen down! One of the other kids in his house had even helped him finish his homework in the library so he had the rest of the time until dinner and after to do what he wanted.
He was headed back to his common room when someone bumped into him, causing him to stubble and fall on the floor.

Damien was on his way back into the castle after a decent workout on the lawn. He still had homework to get done but he figured it could wait until after dinner. Then there probably wouldn’t be as many people in the library when he went in to study. He was taking a drink of water while headed back towards the Hufflepuff common room when he heard something up ahead of him.
He looked just in time to see one of the Slytherin first years knock one of the other boys down.

Rory looked down to see who he had bumped into and smirked when he took in the appearance of the boy that was on the ground. He didn’t look like he belonged there, at least in Rory’s mind. The black school robes the other boy was wearing were all wrinkled and his shirt wasn’t in much better condition. He looked to see if the boy’s robe had a house patch on it and smirked when he saw the Gryffindor emblem. Oh his day was about to get better!
“Well, well, well what do we have here?”

Matty managed to catch himself with his hands and winced when his palms made contact with the hard ground. They were probably going to be scrapped up; he was almost sure of it. Instead of looking up to see who had bumped into him, he settled himself to check out his hands first. He pulled up his right palm and, as he thought, noticed the scrapped up skin and hints of blood that were starting to peak through.
He gave a disheartened sigh; he would have to get them cleaned up now. He was hoping to avoid that today. When he heard the other boy speak, he looked up and noticed the smirk on the blond boy’s face. Why did his day have to get worse?!

Damien watched to see what would happen between the two boys instead of continuing on his way. He had a bad feeling that it wasn’t going to be good for the boy on the ground. He winced himself when he seen the brown haired boy wince at what had to be scrapes on his hands. From his spot, he could see the faint hint of a smirk on the Slytherin’s face and braced himself to interrupt at any moment.

Rory’s smirk widened more at the look on the Gryffindor’s face. It was fun seeing the terror on their faces; that meant they were beginning to know who he was. He stared down at the boy; he had heard about this one, he had even seen him in a couple of the classes that they happened to share. He was constantly tripping over nothing, constantly forgetting any and everything, and absolutely loved his comic book stuff he had brought with him.
“Look what you did,” he began, “couldn’t keep on your feet, huh? And you just had to bump into me.”

Matty tried to ignore the pain in his hands and slowly got to his feet, wanting to appear unafraid of the other boy. His house was the house of bravery and what good would he be to it if he couldn’t stand up to one bully. Besides, the blond boy didn’t look much bigger than him. How much damage could he do?
“I-I-I’m sorry,” he replied while looking down at his feet, hoping that would ease his torment just a bit. “I-I-I’ll watch out better next time.” He shuffled his feet lightly. “Can I go get cleaned up now?”

The Hufflepuff was listening closely when the Slytherin boy started to speak. He had a feeling that he knew the boy’s game; it was the same as all the others: intimidate all those that seemed weaker than them. He watched as the expression changed on the Slytherin’s face at whatever the Gryffindor had responded with. From the other boy’s disposition, it didn’t seem like he had said anything that would have offended the blond, but he had a feeling the blond would find a way to twist it to his liking and use it against him. Damien’s body tensed as he prepared to step in between them.

“You said that last time,” Rory replied, grinning slightly at the boy’s lowered head. “But we see how that worked out, didn’t we?” He didn’t like how easily the other boy brushed off the incident. It was almost like he was getting used to being treated like this. Was he not scared of him anymore?
This was not good!
He would just have to inspire some fear in the boy. He put a hand on Matty’s shoulder and squeezed. “Maybe I should give you a reminder?”

Matty’s eyes widened when he felt the pressure on his shoulder and looked over to see Rory’s hand on his shoulder. This just went from bad to worse! Was it too much to ask to go back and get the newest scrapes cleaned up?
“Please! No reminders! I really will be more careful next time!”

The second the Slytherin put his hand on the other boy’s shoulder, Damien moved. He grabbed the Slytherin’s shoulder from behind and yanked hard to pull him off the other boy. While the blond stumbled and regained his footing, Damien put himself between Rory and Matty.
“You’re done here. Back. Off.”

Rory’s eyes widened slightly when he was jerked back and he stumbled slightly before regaining his footing. He turned back to see one of the second year Hufflepuff boys standing between him and Matty. He gave the dark haired boy a harsh glare.
“What? Are you his protector now?”

Matty breathed a sigh of relief when the pressure was gone and watched as Rory fought to keep on his feet when the Hufflepuff yanked him away. Though he had wanted to be brave, he stayed behind the older boy’s back as Rory settled down and glared at the boy that had saved him.

Damien returned the blond boy’s glare. “I am when it comes to boys like you. Now get gone before I tell the head of your house.”
