Waiting to Hand Out Detention

[Andi Lupin]

"Oh, right. See you then." Jessica sighed. Yeah, perfect world? Since when? Jessica watched him get up with a slight frown, she didn't really want him to go. "I think I'm going to stay here, Blair needs to learn her lesson."

[jen]

Dalton nodded and gave her a quick kiss, "You're a complex person, Jessica..." he said, a hint of a smile gripping at his lips. He backed away and retreated up the stairs, but he didn't go all the way up. On one of the steps where he was out of her view-but she not out of his-he sat down and watched her. From his pocket, he took out a piece of paper and started drawing the outline of her face and body.

[Andi Lupin]

Jessica smiled weakly and watched him go. She sighed and put her head down on her arm. It is getting pretty late and I'm getting pretty tired. Blair can wait.. right? Who knows when I'll get another chance like this though. I wish he'd stayed, it's lonely out here. Jessica leaned back and rested her head on the pillows, before like she was breathingly lightly as she slept.

Dalton finished up by sketching in all of the details. It took him a moment to figure out how he should draw her facial expressions. He admired her when she stood her ground and had that angry, or tense look; but he also liked it when she was nice, with a softer expression. He decided to just finish it by drawing the way she looked now, with her eyes shut and her features placid.

He slipped the quill in his pocket and walked over to her again, his feet not making any noise as he did so. After placing it next to her, he pulled up a chair and leaned back in it.

Jessica turned over in her sleep and rolled off of the counch. She awoke when her head hit the ground. "Damnit! What the hell am I.." She began. She looked around and saw that she was still in the Commons room. Damnit, did I miss Blair? No, I wasn't out too long. She sat up and a paper fluttered down from the couch. She opened it up and saw a portrai of herself drawn in great detail. She smiled as she looked it over. Where did this come from? It's amazing...

[jen]

Her falling off the couch startled him, but he refrained from rushing over. He got up though and took another step. ""You like?" he said, helping her up off the ground. Dalton guided her back to the couch and sat down next to her. "I wasn't all that tired..."

[Andi Lupin]

"Thanks." She mumbled as she sat down on the couch. "You drew this? It's beautiful. I didn't know you could draw so well." She looked up and him smiling. "Yeah, I was a bit tired. Woke up early to get ready this morning."

[jen]

He shrugged and smiled back. "Well I hope I didn't wake you." he said. Dalton wrapped an arm around her and summoned a blanket with his wand. "Its been a good day..."

[Andi Lupin]

"Nah, I roll in my sleep a lot. I just kind of rolled off the couch." Jessica chuckled. She nodded. "It has been a good day. I missed being back here." She cuddled up next to Dalton and closed her eyes again. Much better.

Eta winced and glared in disgust at Jessica and Dalton. Saiph slipped off her lap, noticing how irked his master became and slithered up Dalton's pant leg. A small, crooked, devious smirk crawled across Eta's face.

[jen]

"W-..T-..F-?!" Dalton's eyes fluttered open and when he realized the thing crawling up his leg had nothing to do with humans, he jumped up and retrieved his wand from his pocket. Having already mastered his spells without incantations, the snake flew out from under him and was suspended in the air, without Dalton speaking a word. His bright green eyes darted across the room and they bore down on Eta as Saiph was writhing in the air. "Care to explain how this dratted creature found its way up my pants?" he asked, letting out a loud whistle. The panther-like cat bound down the stairs from the boys dormitory and soon found its desired prey. The black outline of Ace circled on the ground under the snake.

[bellatrix]

Eta walked forward, fighting back a twisted laugh. She grabbed at her snake and cradled him like a baby. "Don't get your trousers in a bunch. Animals have minds of their own you know," she cuddled the snake's head against her cheek, the crazed look in her eyes was frightening. She kissed Saiph's head, "Go find Mrs. Norris, you naughty little snake." Eta put him on the ground and he slithered away quick, leaving her sight.

[Anthony Dorev]

Anthony kicked open the door of the common room, staring at the rag floating in front of him with disgust. Many of the Slytherins had been sick at the feast, throwing up everywhere, and many of the first years had gotten so scared when he had pointed his wand at them that he had to use the stupid rag he now he was now levitating. He planned on throwing it into the common room fire and watch it burn happily. He looked up and nearly groaned. The one time he actually wanted to go to bed is when it looked liked Eta and Dalton were about to come to blows. And on the couch was Jessica, who had skipped out as soon as the feast ended. He would talk to her later, but for now to find the quickest way to end whatever was happening between Eta and Dalton so he could go to sleep. "What's going on here?" he said sharply, flicking his wand so the rag soared into the fire.

[jen]

"None of your business Dorev..." he snapped back, repositioning himself back onto the couch. He watched the snake leave and then turned to Eta, "Well then keep a closer eye on him."

Dalton scowled and put his wand away, looking back to Anthony. "You look like you just saw a muggle, whats wrong with you?" he asked, noticing his rather pale face.

[Andi Lupin]

Of course. You can always count on family to ruin everything. Jessica stood up facing the other three. "Sorry I didn't come talk to you earlier Anthony, I was a bit busy. We can talk later if you still need me. And, you can go up to bed. I'm sure I can handle the.. dispute going on down here."
