You and Norbert? *He smirks for a moment, though it appears that it's mostly in disbelief. He then looks away for a moment as if trying to figure out what to say* I never would have uh... imagined you two together. He's a little bit...erm... *He doesn't finish his sentence, scared that he might say something rather rude. Let's be honest, he could say many rude things about Norbert* I guess it's pretty stressful, then.

I disappear for a while...

[harrisonlockhart]

It wouldn't surprise me. There have already been multiple small explosions this year as it is. It's like our own little war. *His lips press into a thin line as he thinks about the fight with Nott over his blood purity. That, along with all the other fights this year. Countless battles in this 'little war'* I do like that idea, though. Maybe I'll study better with a partner, anyway. *He gives Finn a curious look* The squid? The one I heard stories about earlier this year? *He chuckles* That'll be entertaining to see. I'm up for the idea, then. Let's go.

I disappear for a while...

Finn nods once more. I think we’ve all become used to it, especially since this year has started. Of course it makes me wonder if something is just building up on the edge of exploding. He smiles It’s no problem. I know exams are just round the corner. Besides, it will help me study as well. You know it has been a while since I’ve seen Pippa as well. He nods. Sure I was actually about to go get some snacks for the squid anyway.

[harrisonlockhart]

Oh... Fantastic. *He rolls his eyes, obviously annoyed with the situation* I'm behind socially and academically and...God knows what else. Not to mention, I haven't seen Pippa anywhere in what feels like weeks. Seems as though I'm going to be stressed out of my mind for a few days...

I disappear for a while...

[harrisonlockhart]

Has it? How strange. I'm used to this place exploding with news and events. I guess there hasn't been a huge scandal in a while, then. It's nice to know I'm not too behind when it comes to news... As for the homework, you don't know how much I'd appreciate that help. When I get the make-up assignments tomorrow, I'll find you. *He smiles and shrugs slightly* For now, I was just on my way to find some snacks. Seeing as I can't seem to find Pippa anywhere... would you like to join me? I could use the company.

I disappear for a while...

It’s been quite quiet around here actually, almost boring. As for schoolwork, I could help you if you’ve fallen to far behind on anything?

[harrisonlockhart]

I disappear for a while...

...and it seems that I lose track of absolutely everything. I don't even want to think of how behind on things I am right now.

[harrisonlockhart]

I'm so sick and tired...

...of all these goddamned elitists looking at me like I'm trash. *His jaw clenches as he looks down at his meal. The Great Hall is almost empty by now, and yet he still hasn't eaten. The fight's wrecked his nerves. He glances up at a group of Slytherins snickering at him from afar* You want to laugh a bit louder, kids? I can't quite hear you well enough! *His voice lowers to a growl* Mind your own damn business. Go! *Harrison waits until they walk off to hide his face in his hands. He's beyond frustrated... to the point where he doesn't even bother to look up and see who the footsteps approaching him belong to* Ugh, please just leave me alone...

[harrisonlockhart]

*Before Harrison really knew what was happening, Damien had a grip on his shirt. He tried to pull away, but that boy somehow kept him in his grasp. As an attempt at defending himself, his fist swung, and unfortunately missed just in time for him to feel himself losing his balance and falling towards the floor. Oh, that was it. Nott was going to get it! He was fed up with every single pureblood in this damn school and-... Wait a moment, what was the other boy staring at? Harrison's eyes followed the direction, widening when he realized that this prat was going to cheat and use magic* Don't you dare! *A new anger rose into him as he sprinted full speed at Damien, hoping to knock him onto his back and rise quickly enough to grab the wand. His full weight collided with the other and they both crashed to the floor. Harrison rolled off of him and jumped up, making a mad dash for that precious weapon. It was almost in reach...Just a little bit closer...*

-Damien felt his eye twitch, white hot anger coursing through his veins. When the other boy leaned forward, his hand jerked to grab him by his shirt- And surely you must know me better than to believe you and your stupid things to consider. -He growled, narrowly dodging another fist thrown his way. Reacting quickly, he kicked the boy to get him off balance and watched him stagger down. Damien moved back, getting some distance between him and Harrison. He fumbled around for his wand, only to realize he no longer had it on him, His eyes zoned in on the spot where he had fallen earlier and saw his wand laying there. Damien hissed, about to run over to pick it up when he suddenly heard someone approaching him- fast.-

[harrisonlockhart]

*The punch wasn't as good as Harrison had hoped, but at least it was something. Damien managed to shove him off, and he rolled slightly to the side before springing up again* Here are some things for you to consider, Nott! *He moved quickly in an attempt to kick the other boy while he was still trying to recover on the floor* One, maybe you can't prove it because it's the truth! Two, *He paused, leaning forward just slightly for emphasis - just enough to absolutely piss this kid off* stop existing altogether? And give you that satisfaction? Surely, you know me better than that! *Harrison smirks slightly, bracing himself for the burst of angry fists or kicking that might be soon to come*

-Damien felt a surge of satisfaction ripple through him as his fist hit dead onto the boy’s lip. He drew his hand back, looking at the blood on his knuckles and back to his opponent’s bloodied lip- Hah. You really want your face to go back to the ugly shit of a mess it was before Pompfrey fixed you up, don’t you? -He scoffed, watching the other boy’s every move, surprised when he suddenly stopped. His last comment however, brought his irritation back in a snap.- You’re right, it does kill me. Why don’t you do me a favour and just stop existing all together? -He saw the boy charge at him but it was too late to react. He fell to the floor with a thud. The second he turned to look up, all he could see was Harrison’s fist coming down to his face fast. Quickly, he rolled his head to the side - he still felt the other’s fist brush against his face, but the damage could have been much worse if he didn’t look away. Damien’s hands went for the other boy’s cloak and pulled him aside with as much force as he could muster, trying to throw the boy off of him. He knew that he wasn’t the best at a fist fight. If he didn’t do anything soon, he’d risk being embarrassed in front of this crowd. The sooner he would get a hold of his wand, the better.-

[harrisonlockhart]

*He'd caught him by surprise, luckily. Harrison stared as Damien lifted his head to look at him. Strangely enough, that fear still wasn't there. Even if he knew he ought to be scared, he just couldn't make himself feel it. In the corner of his eye, he saw one or two people stopping further down the hall to watch. Before he really knew how to react, Nott was charging at him. His fist collided painfully with his lip, and Harrison recoiled for just a moment. He lifted his hand to the damage, pulling it away to see blood. So much adrenaline was coursing through him, though, that he didn't feel it so much now. He just wanted to make the other boy pay. He wiped some of the blood from his lip on the back of his hand, smirking* Is it wise to mess with someone who allegedly has a death wish, Nott? *He starts to slowly circle the boy, ready for any attack* After all, if I'm not a pureblood as I say I am, I'm practically asking to be killed, right? *He suddenly stops and smiles* I bet it kills you that you can't prove me wrong. *In a sudden flash of movement, he darts forward and tackles Damien to the ground, then pulls a fist back in hopes of starting another round of punches*

-Damien’s smirk never left his face, thoroughly pleased with Harrison’s reaction to his threat. Just when he thought the boy was going to leave for good, he rounded on him and he felt his fist collide with his jaw. Caught off guard, Damien staggered back a bit, shocked at what just happened. A bruise started to form right where Harrison had hit him as Damien lifter his head slowly and dangerously, eyes glowing with a murderous fire.- You… -He growled- You’re going to pay for that! -He charged at Harrison and swung a punch, hoping to do some damage to the boy’s face-

[harrisonlockhart]

Really, it's so amusing that you're terrified to accept a pureblood raised by muggles as someone like you... You're all so scared. *With every word that came from the other boy's mouth, the anger in Harrison seemed to intensify. The fear he should have felt wasn't there, for some reason. Instead, he felt that anger pulse in him* It's the name engraved in the ring my coward of a father left me. A Slytherin ring. Audley and Gladwin. Look those up in your goddamned book! *He turns, getting ready to walk away, until he hears that threat leave Damien's lips. At that moment, with his jaw tight, eyes flaming with rage, he turns back around and looks Nott dead in the eyes...before punching him square in the jaw*

No, not just me. I had some help from a few friends of mine. We all thought it was a fitting name for you. -He crossed his arms, not appearing threatened at all as Harrison approached him. In fact, he seemed to be amused that he was riling the other up so much- What’s that? Some name that just made up right now in hopes that I’ll believe it? You’re a persistent little shit, I’ll give you that. -He could feel his fingers curl around the handle of his wand. How satisfying would it feel to curse him and watch him writhe in pain right now…- Just accept it, Lockhart. You’ll never be one of us, no matter how much you delude yourself into thinking it. You will never be safe.

[harrisonlockhart]

*As soon as Nott brings up his story, he freezes in the hall. Slowly, he turned to look at the other boy, his jaw clenched. How was it that he'd never had a temper until he met Nott? His eyes narrow angrily* 'Little Lying Mudblood'? Did you come up with that yourself? How... creative... *He practically spits the words as he steps towards the boy, as if Damien is filthy and hardly worth his time* You can live in your denial all you wish, but I assure you, according to the name Audley, I'm a pureblood just like you. How all of you grew to be so thick-skulled, I'll never know. Now, if you're done being a posh, ignorant prat, I'll be on my way.

You honestly expect me to sound cheerful? Very funny. -He narrowed his eyes. It absolutely did not help with his temper when Harrison just walked away from him, almost as if he was ignoring him. Nobody ignored Damien Nott like that. Who did this mudblood think he was?- I think you’ll be thrilled to know that nobody bought into your sweet little tragic story, Lockhart. -He smirks when he heard the footsteps stop. He knew he had the boy’s attention now- If anything, I think you earned yourself the title of the ‘Little Lying Mudblood’ within our ranks. Congratulations. -He turns around to face the boy, the smirk never leaving his face-

[harrisonlockhart]

*His eyes narrow suddenly as he realizes who ran into him* Oh, I love the cheerful tone in your voice as you say that. *He backs away slightly* You'll also be happy to know I wasn't standing in the middle of the hallway, as you thought. Now if you'll excuse me, Nott... *He moves as if to pass him, but sees someone coming in the opposite direction and steps back a moment to let them pass before walking forward again, starting to hum once more*

-Damien was headed up to the library, hoping to grab the book that he needed for an essay before anybody else got it. He rounds the corner, still walking fast, when suddenly he bumped into someone- Oh for the love of Godric, don’t stand in the middle of the goddamned hallway! -His eyes finally settle on the person he bumped into and quickly realized who it was- Oh. It’s you.

[harrisonlockhart]

*He walks down the halls, humming Somewhere Over the Rainbow. It's been randomly stuck in his head all day, so he figures why not? He's just about to turn a corner when he suddenly stops short to avoid crashing into someone*

[harrisonlockhart]

*Harrison starts laughing, running a hand through his hair and shaking his head* How can it save you from getting a terrible grade when you won't have a paper to turn in, then? You'll get a terrible grade for never turning in a finished product! *He smiles and wraps his arms around her tightly* You make no sense, but I appreciate the attempt... How about we clean this up and then forget potions for the day? I'm frustrated with them enough. We can lounge about in the Common Room or walk outside or talk in the Great Hall instead?

Whoa!

Pippa inhaled, glancing to the side in thought. She shrugged. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe that Pumpkin juice saved me from getting a terrible grade on that essay. She pursed her lips. Pippa giggled, jumping slightly and poking Harrison back. How about I give you a hand cleaning this up and then we can start over on it? Pippa suggested.

[harrisonlockhart]

*He rolls his eyes at her and then tries not to smirk. Even so, a hint shines through* Think of it like this... If you spent a week preparing an essay, with your perfect handwriting, would you want someone to walk over and pour Pumpkin Juice all over it and then smear it until it was illegible? *He pokes her side, as if intending to tickle her* You would be more furious than I could imagine. And that's how it feels right now.

Whoa!

Pippa began to giggle at Harrison. She tried to force it back, but couldn’t. You’re acting like a three year old. Move on from it, man! You’re going to blow your top with these little temper tantrums. She warned.

[harrisonlockhart]

*He tries not to grin* Nope. You're not giving me the "it could have been worse" spiel. And it's not going to cheer me up. I'm going to get good and mad about this for a while, and there's nothing you can do to change it. Getting angry about someone ruining my potion is perfectly reasonable.

Whoa!

Shhhh….Pippa gently rubbed his arm. There are worse things that could happen. Someone could have given you Amortentia and set you off on your own. Who knows what could have happened!
