Richard was about to yell when she was talking, how dare she talk to him like they were equals, like she was speaking to 'just another student.' Then she said her name and his eyes widened a bit. The Headmistress's daughter?! Couldn't be...but her looks told him otherwise. She did, indeed, look like her mother in miniature. She had the Nikolai blue eyes and perfect ringlets in her hair. She was pretty, for sure, but his heart still craved Fionna's. ((This is so weird, describing what you look like. Just sayin' XD )) Perhaps...if Fionna had rejected him so harshly, he could choose her as a maiden? The wheels in his head were turning. This could work. She had a fair bit of power already in her grasp, and he had heard through the tunnels in the school system about Fionna being Quidditch Captain, yet Alison still playing in Quidditch. He could use her to get to Fionna, and get to her in turn. She looked different from Fionna, but still had that captivating beauty about her. Her eyes were lighter than Fionna's, her hair darker. She was 3 years younger than he was, but that wasn't as bad as the age gap Rhiannon had. It could work, indeed. "Ah yes, father's company is doing quite well, thanks." He said, a softer tone to his voice. He leaned in a bit closer to her. "But I'm afraid there's another matter I must speak with you about. You see, I tried to give this necklace to a girl whom I swore affections to. But she's with another, and no doubt making up lies to ruin my reputation. Jealousy, perhaps. My heart is constantly empty, you may say. Would you be so kind as to take it off my hands? The heart of the kingdom ruby?"He held out the necklace and saw her eyes light up. Hook, line, and sink her.

Al shook her head in sympathy for Richard. She didn't know him very well at all, other than what she saw in the papers. His voice had a ringing pride to it, but he seemed kind enough. When he held out the necklace, she almost gasped. Was that...what she thought it was? She had heard of this gem...worth millions and millions...how could she resist? If it was just a friendly gesture, she might as well.
She delicately took it, hands shaking, and let him put it around her neck. It seemed to fit perfectly. She gave Richard a quick hug.
"Thank you!" She exclaimed, looking at the huge heart-shaped ruby now glittering on her neck. Note to self, meet more famous wealthy people, they can be genrous. She shook his hand again and said,
"It was great meeting you, I hope we see eachother again real soon, but I actually really have to go to the great hall. Drago and I promised to meet. But thank you so, so much."
She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and ran off. She wasn't naive, really...who would expect Richard to have concocted such a plan from the second he saw her?

Hmmm...his train of thought stopped for a moment when she mentioned a boy named Drago. Must be a boyfriend. Why else would she rush out so quickly? No matter. What he wanted, he would have. His avarice knows no bounds, ambition, money, wealth, women, power, they were all that mattered in this world, in this huge game. And the last two were all that he needed to win. Of course, power was within his reach once he inherited the company. But women, young women like Al and Fionna weren't easy to obtain. He saw them as objects, toys of his affection in this great world. He didn't care about sappy, nonsense things such as love. Even Rhiannon, whom he admired for her strength, believed in love. How ridiculous. Love could stop at any moment. You can stop loving someone by one thing they do, by something they say, you can stop loving them. If you found out your wife was a murderer, you'd stop loving her. It only made sense. But hate lived on forever. Not that he was hateful, spiteful, cruel in the way that Rhiannon was. What separated her from him, was that he cared more about appearance's sake. Being sneaky...getting what he wanted, but not typically when he wanted it. He would follow the law, he would keep up the family name. He wouldn't let it get ruined because some death eaters were obessed with their pure blood. Yes, he preffered pure bloods, he knew Al was at least half-blood, but he could accept that. But Rhiannon would get what she wanted at any cost. She'd do anything and everything to achieve her goal of immortality. She'd sacrifice a happy life. While she believed in living life as long as possible, he believed in living life to the fullest. He just had a different definition of 'fullest' than most. Yet, still, that was what most believed...living life to the fullest. He had the same values, if a different take on them. Rhiannon's moral values...none. His cheek was warmed as she kissed it and he smirked as she skipped away. It was almost too easy. Almost, not quite.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxуσυ ωσи'т fιи∂ н є α я т σя ѕ σ υ ℓ ιи тнє ѕтαяѕ  ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ xxxxx No one in his family ever seemed to follow strictly one job type, although his sister and he both had aspired to be aurors when they finished school. His sister had been in training for three months now, and she said it's fairly brutal, but she loved it. He wasn't sure how it was going since she started before he headed off to school, and now he hasn't spoken to any of his family because they are all so busy with their jobs. But that just made things better for him, because he wouldn't have wanted to talk to his family about the difficulties for him with Fionna and Lucas being around. Nope, that would have just made things too tough, especially since he can't stand when his mother tries to comfort him about things. He would rather that his sister did it, honestly. "Well, I will definitely keep it in mind. I do love helping people. Maybe that was why I thought I could be a good Auror. But I never really thought about the medical side of that."
Caiden could see it now, the house-elves struggling to get the girl up to the Common Room. They would most likely apparate with her back, but that could cause an issue if Tierra got splinched in the process. Too many things could go wrong in that situation, but it was a fiunny one to think about as they walked closer and closer to the Common room. Up the stairs the two of them went, not really looking back, and starting to grow a connection the further they walked. She started to speak about the lake again, and he just smiled. "Piuttosto? Hmm. I like that word. I think you should teach me some of that Italian stuff. It's very... Piuttosto when you speak it." He wasn't making fun of her, but he was picking on the one word he knew in Italian. She would probably end up hating that word when they got to know each other better, because he would milk that word until he couldn't use it any more, and he could use it for a long time when he was around her. Something in him twitched, and it was a strage feeling he noticed. He wasn't sure what to think of it exactly, but he didn't think it was bad. He ignored it for the time being, wondering if he would come back to it and try to discover what it was later. "I don't think any amount of house elves would be able to pull either of us away from that lake." It was true. He fell in love with the Black Lake the moment he stepped on the grounds at the school, and he would never forget it for as long as he lived.
When Caiden looked over onto Tierra, he noticed that she had put his shirt on; the shirt was still dripping wet, and creating a trail as they walked towards the common room, and it made him laugh a little. "You know, Caiden I think I am keeping your shirt it is quite comfy." Caiden was taken aback by this a bit, but he just let it slide. She could keep it if she wanted to, that didn't bother him since it was just an undershirt. He liked his undershirts, but he had a few of them still. He noticed that it went down more than half of her thigh, and it was rather long on her. He liked the look on her, and he would probably smile every time he saw her wear his shirt. "Keep it. I guess that just gives me more of a reason to spend time with you, to make sure that you treat my shirt right."
The topic of Lucas and Spar-... Fionna was bound to come up eventually, he figured. He just wasn't ready to talk about it quite that soon he figured. But, when would he really ever be ready? It was now or never. "The fight was just a huge misunderstanding on my part, really. I got out of hand, thinking I was doing the right thing, and it turned into something I didn't want it to turn into. I was wrong, and I shouldn't have assumed things." His mood was drastically changed as he spoke about this. He wasn't quite ready to move on from it yet, and anyone would be able to tell by the tone of his voice and the edginess he had from it. When he finished speaking, he realized he was being very vague, and he knew he really couldn't go into much more detail. But he had to give her something else. "I... I thought he was going to hurt Fionna, that girl you met in the common room, but I was wrong. He wouldn't ever hurt her, or anyone for that matter. He's a good guy," he said, just finally coming to that realization. At that point, he really wanted to talk to Lucas, and he knew he had some explaining to do. The two of them continued to walk until they got to the entrance of the common room, where the two of them would probably chat the night away. There was only one way to find out. ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆ ★ ☆

Richard had basically memorized Al's schedule now. He ran into her in the hallway, not literally, but he saw her on a nice Friday afternoon when he neither of them had classes. "Hi, Al! How are you? Some wedding, huh? I had a great time with you, we'll need to see each other again soon." He said, a fake smile plastered on his face looking perhaps a bit too cheery. He wanted to give her another gift, to lure her in even quicker like he did with others. But they didn't have boyfriends, so if he gave her another gift, Drago would be too upset and he couldn't have some annoying brat getting in the way. "I also meant to ask you...if you aren't too busy that is...could you perhaps lead me to your mother's office? I wanted to ask her about scheduling private lessons, I'm new here and I don't know exactly everything getting taught, I could use a bit of catching up."He congratulated himself on begin able to fake-blush and lie oh so well. He would've asked her to go to Hogsmeade, but being seen in public with her too often wasn't wise for the people who liked Drago and Al as a couple, or remembered Fionna getting angry at him. This needed to stay private and low, so when the time came to shatter her heart, it would be a shock, and yet...no one would really know. Best to be sneaky about it, they couldn't catch him if he left no tracks.

Lucas stiffened at the sight of Al and Richard. Perfect. (sarcasm) He ruffled his hair a bit so the grey wouldn't show and resisted the urge to punch Richard in the face. Still, he couldn't help but let his hand clench up into a fist a little bit. That a*****e....apparently he hadn't shown his true colors yet, or Lucas was sure Al wouldn't be hanging around him. Al wasn't the type of girl to fall for a jerk, she fell for the Richard she thought she knew. Too bad it wasn't the real him.
Lucas just glared at Richard and then turned concerned eyes on Al. She was still wearing the necklace, his stomach clenched and tightened. He was in no mood to deal with this, he couldn't if he tried, he was too tired.
"Hi, Al." He said in a falsely cheery voice. Al didn't even look cheery right now. She was looked at Fionna, a bit worried. After what Fionna said last time, Al must've been a bit hurt Fi would assume the worst of her, and not to mention Richard had gone after Fionna first. Just seeing that scumbug stand there was sickening.

They had just come back from the grounds after the full moon and things were so perfect right now. Of course, things never lasted long for her anymore and another example popped up when they turned the corner.
Richard and Al were standing together both of them blushing. Fionna groaned slightly and felt her stomach turn in disgust. Fionna wanted to turn around right then but Al had already seen them and Lucas kept walking forward. FIonna made sure that Lucas was between her and Richard and she avoided his eyes at all cost. Instead, she looked at Al and said, "Hiya Al. What's up?" She tried to smile but it faltered slightly. Fionna squeezed Lucas' hand wondering if Richard was looking at her. She hoped not.

Al looked at Fionna and Lucas. She noticed neither of them looking at Richard, but both of them greeting her. Well, at least it wasn't her they were angry at. She looked up at Richard for a split second and noticed his impassive face. He didn't seem to care about them...so he didn't like Fionna anymore? And why did she care so much if she did?
"Hey Lucas, Hey Fi." She said. "Oh, not too much." There was plenty going on, but it's not like she was about to tell them everything she was feeling. She didn't want Fionna getting angry, Lucas getting violent. She smiled weakly, a bit embarassed to be caught like this. Wait, caught? What was she doing wrong? She was just hanging out with a very good friend...
"So...uhm, Lucas, Richard promised to send for some brooms at his dad's company, some of them really old famous beater's brooms, since we're both beaters, maybe you could see them too?" She said, hoping Lucas said no, honestly. She didn't want him breathing down her and Richard's necks. For goodness sake, they were just friends...

"Sure..." Lucas said hesitantly. As much as he hated Richard, maybe it was best if he was there to supervise to be sure Richard didn't try anything. He didn't believe for a second that Richard was any different.
"Of course, Fionna, you are welcome to come as well." Richard said casually, his eyes boring into hers. What he wouldn't give to hit that ragged Lucas with a good curse right now. But he had to be patient, wait for just the right moment. And rest assured, it would come.Lucas glared. Great, so now it was just some ploy to steal his girlfriend. So he was still interested in Fionna. "If you're so interested in showing off these brooms, perhaps the whole team can come see? We can all go together." He said with a bit of a snarl. No way would Richard like that idea, he couldn't get one of them alone if it was a whole crowd, and his father's precious brooms would be getting fingerprints from their dirty impure blood. But Richard just sneered.
"Why the nasty tone, Lucas? I fail to see what I've done to make you dislike me so. If you have a problem..." Richard took a small step forward. "Say it to my face. Is it because we're of rival houses? What a petty reason to dislike someone. Because they are...ambitious."Lucas's hands were still balled into fists and he wanted nothing more than to tear Richard apart. "You know very well it's more than that, Richard." He said in a low tone.

SHe was going to be alone with this perv? What was she thinking. Right, she didn't know about his awful side. He was still putting on an act for her. She sighed and was surprised that Lucas accepted but then she realized he was doing it just so that Al would not be alone with him.
She didn't look at Richard even when he addressed her. She looked down at her shoes instead. She was still wearing her favorite boots that kept her warm and stylish. "I guess I'll come. The brooms aren't very special in my opinion. I prefer the users. A perfect broom is useless in the hands of an amateur." She told everybody, and because of her nervousness an additional statement slipped out of her mouth, "My brother introduced me to the Irish seeker over the Summer. He's an old friend of his." She blushed not wanting to sound like she was bragging. Why had that slipped out?
Richard was such an idiot. Lucas knew Fionna didn't want anybody else knowing about what had happened in the Three Broomsticks and was glad that he didn't say it. She actually looked at Richard now with dagger eyes. "I wouldn't want to overstep Richard's generosity. I'm not sure he would enjoy the entire team handling the brooms." She sad blandly. Honestly, she didn't want him meeting much more of the team and perhaps taking an interest in them.

Al was just about to say she didn't think Richard would mind when things started to get ugly. Lucas and Richard really weren't getting along...it was probably because Richard had liked Fionna. Still, wasn't Lucas overreacting? I mean, Al kinda liked Richard...but it was just a little bit of like. It wasn't anything major, it's not like she'd kissed him. She still liked...Drago more. Right, Drago. She sighed a bit. DId she really? Yes, yes she did. But Richard was just...overwhelmingly amazing were the only two words that could possibly fit in this situation.
Al looked at Fionna, her eyes a little bit narrowed.
"I don't think Richard would mind...but by the way you two talk, I couldn't blame him if he did!" She said a bit shrilly.
Honestly, Fionna talking about meeting a seeker, Lucas talking so rudely, what was up with them!? Richard was just trying to be kind to her, but fine. Fine! If they were going to be so nasty, maybe it was best if she just went alone with him. So she voiced that thought.
"If you two aren't going to be nice, then fine. Me and Richard can get them alone. I don't like seeing you guys when you're all angry like this anyways..." The last part she spoke with a bit of hurt in her voice. Why were they so pissed at her and Richard! They hadn't done anything wrong!

Of course, Richard would probably put on an act. Fake something for Al's sake. She frowned deeper and honestly didn't know what to say. Al was in Richard's grasp and nothing she did would be able to stop it.
Fionna flinched at Al's tone of voice, but she didn't let it get to her. Al was clueless and Fi was not going to talk about what happened to anybody. "I'm sorry Al, but you don't understand. I'll see you later." She said plainly and grabbed Lucas before turning around and heading back where they had come. They would find a different route. Walking down she whispered to Lucas, "I don't know what to do."

Tears welled in Al's eyes when Fionna said she didn't understand.
"What!? WHAT don't I understand!" She shouted back, but Fionna was already leaving. Tears were starting to run fast down her cheeks and her eyes were turning red. She didn't know why she was crying, she didn't usually just burst out all dramatic like this. Usually she stayed calm, cool and collected and just dealt with what life threw at her. She cried sometimes, but not so randomly like this. She looked at Richard with watery eyes, grabbed his hand and walked with him down to the deserted end of the corridor. He didn't object.
Then she just cried. Because she was confused, because she thought she loved him, but she couldn't love him. She'd only known him for such a short time, but was it love at first sight? She hadn't known Drago for that long after all. She hugged him tight and sobbed on his shoulder, he pat her hair and kissed her cheek. She didn't object, either.
