Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I am Christopher Odgen. Sorry about that...rough introduction. I haven't been in the right mindset as of late." he told her with a half-smile. He shook the thoughts out of his head before looking Jillian in the eyes.

"So Fräulein, I have not seen you before. How is that?"

Carina nearly jumped when some random person comment on their conversation. She turned to look at the culprit. "Bought it? What are you talking about? Bought what?" She asked, a bit confused. The guy sounded American, so, maybe, Raven would understand what he meant. She sure didn't. .

"Defi." Jake answered, giving Raven his last name as if it didn't mean a thing to him. His gaze averted from the hallways towards both girls, more so towards Raven. "I heard you were from the US of A too so I'd hope at least you caught on, but I guess not. Bought it. American slang for 'He's dead'." The Slytherin paused then shrugged. "Well...it was common way back when. Read it in some books during the break and it sorta just caught on." He looked back down the halls as if to catch glimpses of the person he was looking for. "You haven't seen Anna-Marie, have you?"

Daniel had his head clutched in both hands, his right still grasped around his pen. He was squatting on the floor. "I think so." The shy and clumsy Gryffindor said, but when her hand came down in front of him he slinked away from it as if it were a monster. Backing up, still squatting, into a little crevice in the wall where a Gargoyle used to occupy (it had gone for a stroll). "N- no Thanks. I-..I'm fi-" At that moment Evans stood up and banged his head on the roof of the crevice and crashed to the floor completely.
He groaned a little and reached up with his empty hand, the other still hanging onto that pen.
The one pen to rule them all-...I mean...The pen that was supposed to go to Aideen.
"On second thought...I think I'll take that help..." Daniel Evans managed out before his hand missed hers and hit the floor, the teen completely passed out.

Raven shook her head. "Ive never heard it quite like that. I think you meant 'he bit it' you know, like he bit the dust?" she said sadly. "And you know, I think I did hear something about him being killed, now that I think about it." Raven's mood perked up a little when Carina mentioned the Astronomy Tower. "It's so beautiful, and romanctic up there." She said remembering that Draco had proposed to her there. Slightly shaking her head, she came out of her reverie, and nodded."Yes, we were looking for our men. I can't believe we haven't found them yet." She said laughing. "They normally just show up."

Just then, Draco came around the corner, and down the hall towards them."Raven, Carina, we're all going to be late for class." he said pulling Raven into a secure embrace, kissing her lightly. "And who's this?" he said finally catching a glimpse of the boy standing with them.

"Draco, this is Jake. Jake, I'm sure you've heard of Draco Malfoy." Raven said laying her hand on his chest, giving it a pat.

Aideen gasped when Daniel fainted. I hope he doesn't have a concussion, she thought as she moved over to the slumped body. It would be just my luck for me to injure the guy I like, even if it was indirectly. Aideen lifted Daniel's head up and placed it in her lap because there wasn't anything soft in the immediate area along with simultaneously checking around him for any blood. Thankfully there wasn't. Accompanied by a flick of her wand, Aideen said "Accio damp washcloth!" Suddenly a wet white washcloth landed on top of her head. She took it off and folded it into thirds then placed it onto Daniel's brow. She remembered this trick from the many times her mother had to do this for her or her father because they had knocked themselves unconscious; it was very obvious from an early age that Aideen had inherited her father's clumsiness. Aideen just sat there, knowing the only thing she could do now was to wait for Daniel to come to and then insist that he go to the infirmary. Aideen peered down at Daniel's face. "Daniel," she called out in an attempt to have him regain consciousness faster.

Christopher nodded. "Well, that's a couple more than I have..." Christopher muttered, his heart hurt a little. He quickly covered the emotion up with other thoughts.

"Oh, well I'm in Ravenclaw. Nice to meet you Jillian, I hope to see you around again Fräulein." Christopher said in a sultry way. He bowed deeply to her before turning back and walking off towards the Ravenclaw tower.

I must learn more about her...

Daniel's screaming startled Aideen; she'd never seen someone come back to consciousness screaming like that before. I hope he's all right. He reminded her of the screaming of the rabbits around her house when they got caught in a trap. Aideen watched as Daniel sunk back into her lap and curled his body up as if to block out the world."Maybe he just needs a moment," she muttered under her breath. Aideen's thoughts returned again to the rabbits, recalling a time when she tried to save one when she was a little girl. The poor little rabbit. I tried so hard to save it. The metal of the trap cut her hand and fingers, leaving a scar to remind her of her failure to save the poor creature. Aideen was brought out of her stroll down memory lane when she felt a warm dampness on her legs. Daniel's crying? she wondered. Aideen reached out and tenderly touched his shoulder. "Daniel. Daniel, what's wrong?"
