 The day was Sunny with a few rain drops here and there for Sophie, causing her to only wear a pair of jeans, a t-shirt with a light jacket, and a pair of blue and red high top converse. There were few people in Hogsmeade today. After stopping in by a few stores she came upon the Three Broom Sticks. It was her favorite hang out with her friends, not that she had made many during her last few years. She entered the pub to find a few group of people from Hogwarts. Among the faces there was a special one with a BIG Rainbow sucker, it was of unmistakably Joel. Sophie smiled and shook her head to herself,'Oh Joel, always doing the most outrageous things at the wrong time!' He had a big grin on his face while everyone else was somewhat quiet and solemn. The atmosphere clashed with his mood, having a bit of an awkward feeling to it.
Sophie made her way over to the table where Joel was, giving him a big smile and a little wave. She scanned over everyone there, nodding to them and giving a warm 'Hello' to each person. Finding a chair, she pulled up a chair next to Joel. "Where have you been all morning?!" She asked him accusatively, grinning and poking him in the side with her finger. Everyone around her seemed to not really respond to her, well except Joel. "You were supposed to leave with me, but someone didn't meet me by the Great Hall. I ended up going with Haley Lomber and all she ever does is seem to talk about her good grades and her boyfriend that goes to some other different school," She said with a big groan. Reaching under the table she found Joel's other hand that free and held it within hers affectionately. "Anyways, what is going on over here? And do I smell hot sauce?" Sophie frowned as she sniffed the air, it was definitely hot sauce.

Hot sauce...Now I want something spicey..Thanks you bitchy slytherin. With a rather cross face, Joel's gaze flopped between Sezer and Vlaityn, completletely unsure as what to do. Okay, the orange is tasty too! Right then, his sweetie Sophie walked into the bar, and his face lit up brighter than it did when he first saw that bright sucker.
“SOO-Fii-Neeatta!” His voice was rather muffled, for in his excitement, he forgot to remove the sucker from his mouth. “Sophie..” With a smile, he gestured for her to bring up a chair next to him, which he really didn't need to do for she was already doing as such.
However, as she poked him, then scolded him, Joel put the sucker back into his mouth, trying to look as innocent as possible. Once she was done, he sighed, and began to attempt to defend himself, that is, after he took the sucker out of his mouth.
“I'm so sorry Soph! Sezer wanted some attention, he was all upset, and I totally forgo- I wasn't paying attention to the clock, then sezer dragged me here, but then i was distracted by the candy shop, and then this, and that, and I almost got beat to a pulp for laughing at Sezer, and then..Well...Ohooooh.” With a sigh, Joel stared at the table, rather unhappy that he had left Sophie waiting in the great hall without him.
“Sorry...Want a taste?” As a bit of a peace offering, Joel offered the sucker to her. His smile was sweet, his eyes half closed. It was a smile saved for a lover. I'm so sorry for leaving you there Soph. I should never have done that. Please forgive me.
Even with his puppydog like face, Joel knew that she wasn't sore with him the moment she reached for his hand. In return, he used his thumb to rub her skin in circles. With soft whispers, Joel leaned into Sophie, trying to give her a quick recap of everything she missed.
“The hot sauce is Raina's. Apparently it does wonders for someone who is passed out drunk. Sezer is being dumb, Seth...Is drunk, and Vlaityn is just..I don't even know.” With a little laugh, Joel leaned over, giving Sophie a quick kiss on the cheek.

Vlaityn felt the strong urge to slap somebody senseless arise as the clearly intoxicated Seth finally passed out. Really, it was just such an odd day. Death, alcohol, Raina smelling particularly strong of.....hot sauce, was it? Not to mention Sezer was acting so terrible......emo for lack of a better term and Joel had whirled in with candy.
And as far as Vlaityn was concerned, Joel was the type of person that should never have sugar under any circumstance. She grimaced at the thought of a more hyper Joel. 'Just the way to add to this day.' She grumbled to herself.
But that wasn't fair to dear Sophie. She was always so kind as to put up with Joel! Being so, Vlaityn mustered up a warm grin for her before turning her attention to Raina.
"Darling, you smell better than usual. You should let Seth smell, more deeply. You know how wicked that stuff burns the nose with physical contact contact." Vlaityn sighed, fidgeting in her seat. The whole situation was just getting so odd! And by odd, she meant Sezer was unnerving her. She cast him one more surly and confused glance before turning to Joel this time.
"Joel Joel Joel." Vlaityn grinned at him as well, completely thankful he had decided to sit between herself and Sezer. She couldn't take him anymore at the moment. "Do tell me about your latest antics."

Sezer inquired Joel with a look that clearly said "What the bloody --?" as he sat in between himself and Vlaityn. 'He forgot.' He told himself irritably, rolling his eyes to himself privately. And then Sophie came in.
The becoming increasingly confused little seventh year chitlin took time to take in his surroundings. Seth was passed out drunk, and that Slytherin who apparently did not know his name appeared to be trying to force-feed (or was force-smell more appropriate?) him hot sauce. Joel had a gigantic lolly pop he'd just offered to Sophie. He opened his mouth to make some comment about how unsanitary that was when Sezer remember who Joel was and the things Joel'd told him. Joel's saliva was the least of Sophie's worries. And Vlaityn, the person he'd come here to see, was basically sitting there as he was, taking in the surroundings as the chaos they were. He smiled none the less at her, his determination lifting his mood and riling up his mind. Yet not surprisingly, her glance pained him. Equally as unsurprisingly, this just strengthened his resolve.
He shot Joel a look, hoping to silently convey that he was going to start the beginning of the end of this nonsense. Politely, he stood up and lowered his voice to a volume meant only for Vlaityn to be able to hear. Of course, it was simply inevitable that Joel, would, as well; but then again he knew, so it didn't matter much at all. "Vlaityn, would you like to go for a walk?" He question her softly, offering his hand to help her up.

As Joel and Sophie walked in, Raina couldn't help but scowl, her brow furred into a look that could almost be considered unholy. However, though she had been ignoring the conversation between Joel and Sophie, Raina perked up when Vlaityn encouraged her to give him the hot sauce.
“Really...Alright, but first..” With a shrug, Raina stood up, pulling down the bright orange camisole that was beneath her t-shirt, she pulled out her want. “Accio release form!” And just a few moments later, a piece of paper flew through the door and into her hand. Reading it over, Raina pulled out a pen and looked between Vlaityn and Sezer. Raina was looking for a sign that would tell her to yes, go ahead with burning Seth's taste buds off, but she decided against waiting, and went right ahead.
With the piece of paper and pen, Raina leaned over Seth, and grabbed his right hand as she placed the pen into it. Using her hand to grab his, which was grabbing the pen, she penned his name onto the dotted line on the paper.
“If anyone asks, this is his signature. There is no way I'm getting sued for this.” In fact, the hot sauce she had brought was none other than Cluck-U's thermo-nuclear sauce, one of the most spiciest hot sauced known to man. ON a spicy rating, it reaches more than six times the heat level of police grade pepper spray.
Man, I can't believe I'm wasting this tasty stuff on him..He won't appreciate the amazing flavor.
With a tooth pick, Raina dipped the end in the bottle before closing the lid. With her free hand, Raina grabbed Seth by the hair and had him sit up in his chair, his head leaning against the back of his seat.
“Alright, everyone, stand back from the wrath of a Ravenclaw with a vengeance.” Diving into what she was almost certain was suicide, Raina stuck the tip of the toothpick into his nose, wiping the contents off on the side of his nostril. Right then, Raina jumped back, hoping that whatever happened she would not get struck.

Vlaityn turned her head away in slight arrogance at Sezer's comment and swung her foot to an imaginary beat. Which was needlessly bull-headed, naturally. Vlaityn would have socked anyone how would have such gaul. But seeing as it was herself, she let it slide.
But it was Sezer. The very thought of it made Vlaityn's angry dissolve slightly. Especially when she made the key mistake of turning back around to look him in the eyes. The stormy gray struck a chord in Vlaityn, and she heaved a small sigh.
"Oh, why not." She drawled before helping herself out of her chair, ignoring Sezer's hand. She grimaced inwardly at how rude she was being, but he was acting so odd! And everything was so irritating.

Seth shuddered deeply as the hot sauce hit his nose. He opened his eyes, twitching his nose furiously and did some gardening in his left nostril. When he had succeeded in clearing the potent substance from his nose, he eyed Raina, who was still looking very cute without the aid of butterbeer goggles. "Ouch. What the hell? And I still feel drunk!" he commented, annoyed. "Give me that!" He snatched the bottle from Raina and took a gulp. "Mmm. Wow, where'd you get this? It's good stuff, though Peruvian Quemaboca has a little more bite." Like always when waking up, he touched his shoulder to see where Esrath was. He gritted his teeth and lowered his hand, forcing back the tide of emotions that raged within him like an angry sea. "Thanks," he said to Raina. "I guess I needed that." He wiped a tear from his eye, but whether it was from the hot sauce or from something else remained a mystery.

With a smile, Joel turned his attention to Vlaityn, his best “girl friend” that wasn't his girlfriend. Okay, that made absolutely no sense. None at all.
“I have been up to nothing at all. Visited my house over easter break, took care of my cousins, all sorts of simple things like that.” I refuse to call that place home. It hasn't been my home since mum was there.
With a kind smile, Joel laughed as Sezer scowled. Joel gave him a look that clearly spelled out “It's not like her tasting my sucker is any different than making out with her.” However, right as he was getting into another story, Sezer had to stand up and take her out of the room. Though, after their discussion in the common room, which lead to his being dragged their anyways, Joel remembered that he did need to talk to Vlaityn, and gave Sezer a thumbs up with the hand holding the sucker.
“Don't be stupid. I'll laugh at you again.” In all seriousness, Joel gave Sezer a grin, and if he was within arms reach, and his hands were empty, he would have sucker punched him in the shoulder. Good luck mate, don't screw it up again.

With an expression that was a mix of irritated, and shocked, Raina nodded to Seth, almost feeling irritated that he was just glugging down her hot sauce. I didn't even buy the hottest kind. At his comment, she shrugged, and with an almost resentful tone said , “Right-o.” Lifting up her eyebrows, Raina went back to her seat, reluctantly grabbing the bottle of hot sauce.
“Hot sauce can do wonders in any circumstance.” With a rather unhappy look to her, the moment she saw a tear show from his eye, she flinched. Crying she did not permit from anyone, Raina had even slapped Ascella clear across the face for crying once. However, that fight did not end well. Lets just say, it involved a crying blond, and a taller raven haired girl with a quill sticking out of her thigh.
Since Raina did not answer the question put upon her previously, she looked back at him, trying to convince herself that it was not crying from emotion, but from the damn hot sauce.
“I got is in New Jersey, at a place called Cluck U. This isn't even the hottest flavor, but they don't permit you to buy that version. Liability reasons.” Seth looked like a mess, and Raina almost felt a pang odd sympathy for him. Apparently, he no longer had any relatives, or that creepy snake. Right as she was about to ask what happened, Raina reconsidered that thought, and decided to keep her mouth shut instead, hoping that her decision would in turn not lead to any more public displays of emotion. Or stupidity for that matter.

"They don't permit you to buy it? Then why do they advertise it? Bloody wankers!" he cursed in a drawling Welsh accent. Switching back to his normal Scottish inflection, he addressed Raina. "So, what have you been up to recently? Not eating the first years I hope?" He smiled a more natural albeit slightly evil smile, composure utterly restored.

“I'm pretty sure that they are afraid that someone will get an allergic reaction, or get it in their eyes, resulting in hospitalization.” With a shrug, Raina snapped her fingers to the person running the bar, and immediately a mug of butterbeer appeared at her place, fresh and foaming at the top. With a smirk, Raina crossed her legs, looking almost sexy in her aloof clothing. I always love it when people do that.
With her standard, almost smite-worthy smile, Raina looked back at Seth, making sure to delay her response to his question.
“First years. No, actually I have been astonishingly reserved for the past few months. Just experimenting with potions. Come to find out, Amortentia made backwards does not make anyone hate you.” It makes your fingers turn blue.

Seth looked at her incredulously. "Why do you want to be hated?" His arctic eyes burned into hers as he quietly continued, "Your every action is done in a manner to inspire hatred and resentment." He cocked an eyebrow. "My only conclusion is you hate yourself or you hate everyone else. Rather unpleasant ways to go through life, I should think." He looked at her thoughtfully and without judgement, but behind his level tone he was deeply interested in her response.

Raina was completely taken surprise by his statement. Her hand even went up to her chest, somewhat like those southern belles did when they were surprised, and made a mocking gasp escape her lips.
"Why, Seth, wherever could you have gotten such an awful idea?" Instantly, she dropped the act, becoming oh so serious at just the flick of an internal switch. "Oh right, because your not dumb." Her voice was cold, her expression rather confusing as she looked him straight in the eye.
"I don't hate anyone. Okay, maybe a few people, but your right about me wanting others to hate me." Rather nonchalantly, Raina took another sip of her drink, and it was quickly starting to show, for the tips of her cheeks were slowly becoming red, and her tongue a bit more lucid with every ounce.
"I do not hate myself. I hate emotion. Emotion is weakness, and those who are smart know how to exploit the weakness almost everyone share. People. People is everyone's weakness, relationships as well. Your proof in itself." With a bit of a scowl, Raina finished the last half of the glass with one chug, then with a rather tomboyish nature, she wiped the residue off her upper lip with the back of her wrist.
"If everyone dislikes me, than I feel no attachment to them, thus, no viable claims about them leaving." I've been hurt before, through people, through emotional attachment. It's not happening again, even though, Seth is looking mighty fine.
All she could think about was her past, the look on her fathers face when he found the note written by her mother was burned into her memories. "It's not an unpleasant way of going through life, it is a far, far more ideal way. No relation, no attachment, no regrets." Her teeth clenched from the anger building up inside the rather tall girl. What else was she supposed to do, deny his question, ignore it, accept it. No. She had to prove him wrong, and make herself feel more power. Darwin had the right idea.

Seth's eyes suddenly went ice-cold, contempt and pity vying for control in the arctic pools of light. "To be held together by hatred is a... Fragile adhesive at best. I'm proof of my own point- I lived life on the edge, making enemies and killing crime lords' hired grunts as I desired. But everyone has a breaking point, Raina. You might want to consider who will be there to pick up the pieces when you crumble." He sighed heavily, eyes loosing their sharpness and anger. I'm wasting my time, he thought wearily. I don't know why I feel such a strong attraction to this... Fiend of a girl, but there's something about her I can't force out of my mind! He ground his teeth and looked away. She's so much like me. I can't bear to see her suffer like I have. It'll be all the worse because of her dark façade... He shifted in his chair, trying and failing to shift his train of thought. I know her only enough to hate her... And yet, I think I... Love her.
