"Anya!"
Callum grabbed her shoulders, pulling her attention. The concern on his features as if she was the culprit of something didn't fit the situation playing out in her mind. He had no idea of the private thoughts she'd written in the only journal she owned, so why was his concern directed at her and not at the person causing her grief? She was still absorbed in Scorpius and stopping him from revealing the information he was holding over her to figure out Callum's misplaced concern over who was the one currently causing a problem.
"What's going on, Anya?"
The confusion as to why he was posing the question in that way toward her only served to increase the adrenaline and fear coursing through her. She was missing something. The weather around them grew worse and when she saw him gaze at it and then back to her, she finally understood. This sudden shift in the weather, it was her. Like back at that bookshop, when she'd felt threatened by her foster brother, taunting her with the lighter under her book, the little flame had burst into a blaze, igniting the book and setting the shop on fire. She'd assumed that by a cruel twist of fate, the one element she'd had a phobia of was what her chaotic magic triggered. She'd been wrong and Marius, the one person who understood what she was and how to keep it under control, wasn't here to talk her down. Anya's fear and panic grew and along with it, the weather worsened, spreading out a bit further from just the three of them.
Anya shook Callum's hands off her shoulders and stepped away from him. "Callum, get away from me," she said in a quiet, shaky voice, holding up a hand in a gesture for him to stop and not go near her. She could feel an energy pushing out and could swear she saw Callum's feet drag backward in the snow as if some invisible force had pushed him back and was holding him away from her.
"Do what?
She didn't understand what was happening to her or how she was doing all this. She couldn't figure out how to get it to stop. Then Scorpius spoke up and distracting her from trying to make it stop.
"Scorpius, please," she pleaded once more. Her fear of what her chaotic magic might do was mixing with the fear of having her secrets divulged, kicking up the strength and radius of the sudden winter storm. But of course, her plead fell on deaf ears and Scorpius continued on like a wretched town crier, booming out truths over the sound of the wind.
Tell the truth about how your parents died in that fire and nobody wanted you? That you're a blooming thief? "
Anya was starting to shake with the fear and anger. She felt tears forming at the cruel reminder of her parents and the reminder that nobody wanted her had them starting to fall. Snow began to fall as if mimicking her tears but she did not notice. Anya did not dispute his first claim. Being passed from one foster home to another had a way of making one feel unwanted. "I--I'm not--" she tried to contest the second claim but couldn't. She'd only participated in the thieving ring of the last foster home she'd been in out of self preservation, but that didn't make the fact that she'd been a thief any less true.
Marius had warned her about not divulging this information to anyone. He'd properly put the fear in her of keeping this all a secret. He'd said that if word got out that she'd used magic in the Muggle world, especially for criminal activity, unintentionally or not, some Ministry group dedicated to this magical world would collect her and take her away to some prison she couldn't remember the name of. Though Scorpius hadn't gotten around to revealing that she'd used magic in her thieving, it wouldn't be difficult for people to come to that conclusion on their own.
"Get away from her, Callum, she's deceptive and dangerous. She's been lying to you! Father will surely here about this,"
Anya's arm had dropped and both hands were fisted at her sides. She hadn't realized she'd dropped her arm and that Callum had started to move toward her again until Scorpius warned Callum to stay away from her. Scorpius had his wand aimed at her, carelessly waving the weapon in her direction as he spoke with a fear she saw she was provoking in him. Wielding a weapon in fear was dangerous and again, her own fear was stoked. The storm around her was driving her mad with her inability to control it and the uncertainty of what was going to happen. She squeezed her eyes shut, muttering at the storm in angry fear under her breath. "Stop it. Stop it. Stop it!" Her fisted hands shot open with a burst of energy that radiated out from them, the gloves hiding most of the light that had emanated from the scars on her palm. The energy was like a strong wind striking out, knocking the two closest to her off their feet and pushing anyone else that had gathered nearer back a step or two.
Her eyes shot open at the feeling of the burst and she saw Callum and Scorpius laid out in the snow. Storm still swirling close around her like a protective barrier keeping everyone out, Anya's hand shot to her mouth in shock, fearing the worst. What had she done? They started to stir and Anya was relieved to see no injuries. At worse, they'd had the wind knocked out of them when hitting the ground. But Anya was still afraid of causing injury to anyone around her as she felt it continue to build, the storm feeding her fear and her fear feeding the storm in an unending loop. Anya swiped away the tears with the back of her hand, looking up at the dark clouds mirroring her emotions and the dark fear swirling inside her starting to form.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," she called out over the sound of the wind to Callum and Scorpius and everyone else being affected by the chaos she was causing, as she backed away from them and everyone else she was just noticing had gathered nearer to watch and listen, putting them in what she feared was a dangerous situation.
Anya fisted her hands in the hopes of stopping any further bursts as she turned and ran back toward the one place she expected there to be no people; the one place she'd learned people weren't supposed to go. She tried keeping as far from people as she ran, having to dodge around one last person near the path; the very professor who'd informed her of this path being off limits, but Anya was too preoccupied to make note of any of the faces she passed.

"Was that you who did that?"
"No. I don't even have my wand in my hand...,"
Everything seemed to have unraveled so fast. From the taunts, to the mysterious weather, to the outburst of the poor frightened girl. The entire village gasped as the boys got knocked off of their feet, and the whole world fell silent. After the girl who had caused the scene ran away, students ran to the two blonde haired boys to make sure that they were alright. Shane figured that they had enough help, and to be honest he felt rather crowded.
"I don't mean to be a bust, but I believe the train will be arriving soon. Should we get away from all of this craziness and await for the train on the platform?" Shane suggested to Scarlet and Delphi.

The storm around the three students grew stronger and stronger. It got harder to follow the whole situation. The storm didn't allow to listen to their words. But suddenly the boys were pushed away from the girl and fell onto the ground. Anya, who seemed to be in fear or even panic, started to ran away from the place. Nathaniel couldn't condemn her because of her getaway. Most people would've done the same in her situation - at least he thought so. (He was sure he wouldn't do so, of course.) The girl tried to make sure that she wouldn't bump together with others but she overlooked him. To be fair he had to admit that he stood offsiede in the shadows. Nathaniel decided to follow her. He was curious what she might able to do with these unknown kind of powers.

"Callum, get away from me,"
It hadn't been more than a quiet whispering, yet a storm in Callum's mind, maybe worse than the one that was swirling up the snow around them. He didn't hold on to her any longer, even did some steps back without actually... No, it was more like the wind was pulling him away from her as if Anya had some kind of control over it.
"Do what?"
"Scorpius, please,"
Callum wanted to make Scorpius stop, from whatever that might even be, but all he could do was standing there in shock.
"Tell the truth about how your parents died in that fire and nobody wanted you? That you're a blooming thief?"
Callum didn't turn to look at his despicable little brother while that one was blurting out secrets that Anya surely had been wanting to keep. Even from him. He couldn't help but feel a bit of a twinge like a stab into his heart. Granted, neither of them had ever started a conversation about their family, since that always was the last thing Callum wanted to talk about, but still - Anya had known. Callum was, of course, not taking it amiss on her that he practically didn't know anything of her in return, but was he starting to wonder if she trusted him at all. Deep down, he knew it better, but there came, however, one question to his mind, irrational or not. Was that because he was a Malfoy? After all, it was a Malfoy who just gave her the best of an example of how dangerous it could be to trust somebody. His mind cleared a little once the wind around thickened, picking up some of the snow of the landscape and throwing it up in their faces. Soon, Callum's full attention was back in the here and now, his gaze still aimed at Anya as he tried to process what was just happening, unable to say anything.
"I--I'm not--"
"Get away from her, Callum, she's deceptive and dangerous. She's been lying to you! Father will surely hear about this,"
Callum's face still wouldn't turn away from Anya, his brother's voice no more than an echo whilst questions were forming in his head; Questions that he wasn't able to grasp, though. This might not be the time for asking questions anyway. Besides, the storm around them made it harder to focus with any further second. Eventually, Callum even had to close his eyes to cover them from the swirling snow.
"Stop it. Stop it. Stop it!"
"An...," he was just going to call out to her anyway when suddenly the storm, once again, worsened and even send him off his feet in a fierce showdown. For a moment, there was a sharp pain in his throat, caused by the cold wind and snow that had been flashing over them like a wave of drowning water, so he couldn't even try to call out again.
By the time Callum got his voice and orientation back, Anya was gone, as if the wind had taken her away from him, even left with her, for it was not only her who was gone but also the storm.
"You little BASTARD!" Callum suddenly dashed into Scorpius' direction, grabbing him by what he had been reaching first of him, completely ignoring the people around. At this very moment, there was nothing on his mind but anger, directed towards the first person he could make responsible. Whatever this situation had caused, his brother surely was no little innocent. He never was.

"No, I didn't even have my wand in my hand..."
Delphi looked confused. "If you didn't do that, then where did that burst of wind come from? I don't think it was natural" she asked Scarlet, still bemused. Suddenly another strong gust of wind came seemingly out of nowhere, this time even stronger than before, such to the point that Delphi had to shield her face with her hands from the buffeting wind and stinging snow.
"What the hell, where is this coming from? she asked above the roar of the wind, her eyes closed unable to see what was going on as the swirling wind became stronger. And stronger. Suddenly, as mysteriously as the erratic weather started, it just suddenly stopped, becoming eerily quite again.
Delphi was able to open her eyes and have a look around to survey the situation, seeing Scorpius on the ground and the other laid out right next to him.
"What just happened?"

"I don't mean to be a bust, but I believe the train will be arriving soon. Should we get away from all of this craziness and await for the train on the platform?" It seemed as Shane doesn't want to be here at this place any longer. But before she could even think of giving him an answer the weather changed again. The wind started to become a storm which forced most of the people around to cover their faces with their arms and hands and at least sent them flying.
"What just happened?" It was Delphi who first recovered herself. Scarlett started to look around. The most notable change was that the two brothers had started to argue hard and that the girl who had been with them before was gone. Maybe she ran away but Scarlett wasn't sure about that. She didn't have seen what was happening because she had also covered her face and closed her eyes when the storm had become stronger and stronger. She gave Shane a look which should tell him 'Sorry' because she didn't agree to his suggestion of waiting for the train and decided to stay here a bit longer. "Well," she turned to Delphi, "I'm also not sure but maybe these boys could tell us more. You've already spoken to the younger one. Should we try to ask them if they knew more about what is going on?" It was obvious that she already decided for herself to find out more about the happening although she word it as a question. She hoped Delphi - and also Shane - would decide to acompany her but she'd go alone if they wouldn't.

The snowflakes that had been swept up by the gusts of air simmered back down gracefully to the earth as the wind died down. The atmosphere was calm once more, and eerily quiet as students frozen with shock surrounded the battle ground that was now vacant of Anya. Blinking his eyes open through the pain that radiated through his lower back, Scorpius scrunched his face in agony as groaned loudly. Digging his palms into the ground, Scorpius began to help himself upwards before he realized that his angry brother was charging right after him.
"You little BASTARD!"
Letting out a high pitched yelp, the heels of Scorpius's boots slipped along the wet ground as tried to escape the furious clutches of Callum. Squirming on the ground like a toddler having a meltdown in the middle of the village square, Scorpius avidly kicked Callum's hands away before turning over and brining himself to his feet. Hightailing it down an alleyway, Scorpius puffed as he began to lose his breath and peered over his shoulder to see if his brother had given up. To Scorpius's unfortunate realization, Callum appeared determined for blood that day. A sharp pain in Scorpius's side began to slow him down to his demise, and realizing he couldn't outrun Callum he pressed his back up against the brick wall of the alleyway and threw his hands up in surrender, "She's crazy, and you know it!" Trying to catch his breath, Scorpius pleaded in his attempt at innocence when he knew he was far from being a good boy in his brother's books.

"Well," "I'm also not sure but maybe these boys could tell us more. You've already spoken to the younger one. Should we try to ask them if they knew more about what is going on?"
Shane still wasn't too keen on getting involved. Sure, he had been watching the quarrel like a hawk, but would he really step in and make a difference? For the popular Quidditch player he was amongst his American peers, he had always been known to be rather passive when it came to social situations. Sirius had always been the one to speak his mind and to take initiative to step into a situation to help - or to stir the pot. Shane had always followed his lead. Damn, those were the days...
Suddenly, the two boys in the middle of the village were getting into a rather physical scrap, and all eyes gravitated towards them once more. Many folks around stood there gasping as they couldn't believe what was happening. One lunged at the other, who kicked himself away and tried to weasel himself out of the public eye and down an alley. However, the older one was in too much of a rage and continued to charge off after him. Shane groaned and rolled his head before hightailing after them, hoping Scarlet or Delphi would trail after him for assistance. He felt like he was about to regret his decision, yet he didn't see anyone else trying to stop them.

*** Coco and Sirius enter from Three Broomsticks Inn ***By the time Coco and Emily had made it through the door, the storm was mysteriously gone as if from one moment to the other. How was that even possible? Unless... magic had been in play. For a moment, Coco just stood there with her mouth open when suddenly a familiar and more than welcome face caught her eyes. She didn't even turn back around towards Emily before starting to run over to where she had spotted her best friend as if literally running off from the person next to her, while in this very moment, she was actually only running from this whole situation in general. This was all just too much for one day. She needed her Cami, now. Once the distance between the two girls was close enough, Coco just jumped into her arms, like literally, to seek shelter in the only way she could find it, by being somewhere she felt home. Unlike everyone else, Coco didn't give a shit about the social drama that seemed to be going on around them.
"Just keep your mouth shut and hold me tight," she whispered to Cami in a defensive and at the same time amused tone before she could have even said anything. Coco wasn't exactly known for seeking physical contact like this a lot, but the rare times she did, it would always be with Cami. That girl knew she loved her anyway, and so did Coco know. Being loved no matter what, diffcult or not. They always had been there for each other.

When Coco and he stepped outside the storm had already calm down. There was just one single logical clarification: Someone had used magic to create that strange weather phenomenon. But Coco, unlike him, didn't care about it any longer. She suddenly stepped away without a word. Sirius followed her way with his eyes and also recognized Cami. At least he had to admit that it might be the best this way.
His attention went back to the people on the streets especially to Callum and his little brother. Wait! Scorpius?! What the hell was he doing here? Sirius was sure that he and Scorpius soon will see each other again during one of Professor Boyles extra lessions in the upcoming week. He also found himself asking how that little troublemaker had managed to be here or - to be honest - how he would have managed that himself instead. Everyone got back on their foot meanwhile and stared at the two siblings. Callum got angry, really angry. Sirius couldn't remember that he had seen him like that before. He didn't know him well because Callum was one year older than himself but he also never had heard that he had ever freaked out like that. The older brother started to run after the younger brother.
Sirius didn't want to run after them. It was their problem, not his ones. And he already had been given a hour's detention and didn't want to got more. So he took a last look over the place when he spotted Shane. Damn it. He didn't want to have another strange conversation. His daily dose already was full to the brim. So he span on his heel and turned back to the Inside of the Bar.
*** Sirius turns back to the Three Brommsticks Inn ***

*** Nathaniel enters the Surroundings ***
Nathaniel still wondered about that Shrieking Shack Mystery and if he should have follow Anya to the inside. But at least she seemed to be old enough to made her own decisions. She hadn't noticed him so she also couldn't blame him for not giving her a helping hand. Obviously there was something special about her - another mystery. But that will be stuff for another day. She surely will need someone to talk to - why not the new teacher who already showed that he cares for her?!
All at once he saw a young boy running away from something or probably someone. It was the little one who had been with Anya and Callum. A younger Malfoy, he thought. Nathaniel stopped and waited for a moment. Ah, there he was. Callum. He was after his younger brother. Bad boy. "She's crazy, and you know it!" That was interesting. They certainly talked about Anya. Maybe the youngster knew something more about the mysterious girl. Callum, this time really really angry, got closer to the poor little one. Nathaniel had noticed a lot of anger inside of that boy but this time it seemed as if he wanted to cross the line and wished to choke his opponent. Now finally it was time to step in. (Again. He should be careful from now on if he didn't want to end as 'everybody's favourite teacher and friend'...)
He grabbed Callum's arm just before he could really go for the other one's throat. "Don't lay hands on a weaker one, Mister Malfoy!" He used his family name to show him that he still didn't fear his father and to adress him very directly.

Callum felt no pity for his brother, for he would have deserved a fist in his complacent mug, all the more feeling so when Scorpius went on spreading lies about Anya.
"She's crazy, and you know it!"
Instead of replying to that, Callum allowed his anger to get the better of him, once more running after his pesky little brother. At this point, he wasn't even acting out of anger based on facts but only on the feeling itself. This might not only be about Anya anymore but also about all the times that Callum had to listen to his shit, watching him as he tried to play everyone for a fool.
Eventually, he finally got, once again, a grip on him, not bothering that, right now, it was himself who was crossing a line. With deep hatred in his eyes, not anymore only for Scorpius but also for everything that had caused this anger to pile up inside of him - like for practically seventeen years -, Callum reached, yet again, for the first of his little brother that he could reach. This time, unfortunately, that happened to be his throat. Of course, wasn't he going to kill his own brother, nor would he have, even not if there had been no one holding him back. Yet there was.
"Don't lay hands on a weaker one, Mister Malfoy!"
A sudden voice and a firm grip on his arm brought him back to reality. A reality in which he had been reaching out for his brother's throat, in this very moment not sure what he really would have or not have done. Callum breathed hard as he looked up at the person who had gotten a grip on him. Now, that was not so much better. Deep down, he was glad somebody had prevented him from doing something that would be unforgivable, but the view of that one's face didn't change the wrath written on his own. It worsened it.
"Let go of my arm!" With a heavy movement, Callum freed himself from the grip before that man even could have done so himself. Callum didn't remember his name, or even if he had told them in the first place, nor did he care, but this man certainly had no right to treat him in a way that would imply he was some kind of authority figure. This guy was but a joke figure if anything. "The show's over, you can buzz off," Callum added with a saturnine look when the man wouldn't retreat. He knew that he had gone too far, but somebody keeping on about that, calling him by his last name at that, was the last thing he needed right now. It was also only now that Callum realized the growing audience around, watching them like this would be a soap opera or something. "And everyone else as well! Just go!"

***Cami enters from The Shrieking Shack***
Cami practically floated through the shop lined path as she made her way through. Weaving in and about the bustling students preoccupied with their shop findings and treats, her body was physically there but her mind was still with Staffan. Her complexion grew smitten as she daydreamed about the amazing afternoon she had shared, filled with her fair share of candies and scares alike. And through it all, the Prince remained perfect in every way. Almost too perfect...
A sudden force made it's way into Cami's arms. She gasped, practically losing her footing. Peering down into her arms was a dark haired head all too familiar. Cami squealed in excitement, not only was it her best friend Coco making a surprise appearance - but allowing Cami the physical affection that she had always graciously offered to Coco at her usual grumbling refusal but would accept the offer occasionally (and at times, proceeding to hug Coco anyways because she simply couldn't help herself).
"Just keep your mouth shut and hold me tight,"
Cami chuckled lightly as she did as she was told. Hugging Coco tightly, she decided to shuffle her feet as she carried the both of them out of the crowd and to the side of the shops, "Are we escaping from a date most terrible?" Cami pondered, as it wasn't the first time she had seen Coco run away from a social situation, yet Coco was very adamant on making sure that her escape was a success.

Suddenly, Scorpius felt his brother's hands at his throat and everything started to blur. Not that Callum was putting any pressure on him to hurt him, but Scorpius began to work himself into a hyperventilation. All of the excitement and stress he had caused for himself was getting to become too much for his little heart to handle. Tears began to stream down his painfully scrunched up face as he pleaded for his brother to stop.
"Don't lay hands on a weaker one, Mister Malfoy!"
A teacher had pulled Callum away, and Scorpius was free. Sinking down to his bottom on the ground, Scorpius's hands traveled up and down his own neck for a wellness check before leaning against the wall in the alleyway. His brother had been shouting about something, but it was all muffled to Scorpius. Even though he was free, his heart wouldn't stop beating against his chest and causing him grief as he continued to gasp for air. Everything felt woozy as Scorpius tried to get a handle on his light headedness, but couldn't manage to calm himself down.

Delphi turned back towards the two brothers who were now laying on the ground, and sees the young woman running away out of the corner of her eye away from everything.
"Maybe I should check out what happened, stay here for now" she told Scarlet and Shane as she started to make her way slowly over. Before she could reach them both of the boys stood up and quickly had their hands on one another. Seeing the commotion Delphi hurried her pace to break up the fight, only for another older man to pull them apart before she got there.
"Everything all right here?" she asked anyone who was listening to her.

"Let go of my arm!" A real little Prince Charming, huh?! Nice. Callum freed himself out of Nathaniel's grip. "The show's over, you can buzz off," To be honest he started to feel a bit pity for that boy. Although he was sure the younger one might deserve it. He couldn't tell in specific but the little one got something like a mischievious aura around him. "And everyone else as well! Just go!" Wow, now he angrily adressed the audience which steadily grew bigger.
Nathaniel wanted to calm him down - this time for real - but a young woman ventured to also take an active part in this Comedy-Drama-Show. "Everything all right here?" "I'd love to say 'yes' but if you really wanted to reach out to me please take a look at the youngster, my dear," he gave back. He also found the time to gave her a very smart smile although they all were stucked in a stressed situation before he turned back to Callum. "Okay, boy, I might repeat myself but calm down! I don't know what was happening right before but I also saw that magic storm. Did you know how she managed it? And why the hell are you that mad about your... brother, right?"

"Are we escaping from a date most terrible?"
"Yes on terrible, no on date," Coco answered, still slightly shaken, as her bestie carried them both out of the crowd and to the side of the shops with fewer people around. Once they had made it there, she started to ease a bit, at least enough to loosen her grip on Cami, yet not completely letting off of her. This might be a start of more cuddling in the future since her best friend sure knew how to take an opportunity, but if Coco was totally honest with herself, she had to admit that there never had been anything feeling better.
While Coco slightly but surely got back to her relaxed self, still leaning her head on Cami's shoulder though, she took on the thread again to add one of her witty remarks. "Also, we can't all be around Ken, can we? Although, I heard zere exist a lot of versions. You'll keep me posted if they ever come up wiz a heavy metal edition - with guyliner please - will you?" Of course, her question hadn't been meant seriously, so she didn't expect an answer to that. Instead, she rather used the chance to turn the topic away from herself. "Speaking of dates... Has yours proved himself getting a second?" Coco asked with a raising of her head.

As soon as Shane brought the two siblings fighting back into view, he was appalled. Yes, he was a brother. But never in a million years would he fathom putting his hands on his sibling in a violent manner. They were a pair of brothers, so whatever the little shit had done, whatever he had coming his way was most likely deserved. Yet, this looked like a pair of siblings who had pent up anger and rage towards the other and to Shane things appeared deeper than they seemed to be on the surface. Delphi along with another professor looking character made their interventions, and Shane was about to jump right in to help them. However, a light tugging on his coat caught his attention before he could take another brisk step in the direction of the unfolding scene.
"Scar? What is it?" Shane's head whipped around to face his teammate whose gentle tug was reigning him in from immersing himself into business that he truly did not need to be apart of, "Don't you think they'll need our help?" Shane questioned Scarlet as his hand gestured in the direction of the scene before them.

Scarlett was no anxious one but at the moment she didn't want to get more into what was happening around. When she took a look at Shane she assumed that he wanted to go after the others and intervene. So she tugged him gentle on his coat to get his attention back. "Scar? What is it?" The look on his face told her that he already got a bit deeper into thoughts. "Don't you think they'll need our help?" "Don't get me wrong, Shane. I'm sure they need help. But I think not ours. Look, Delphi's already over there and trying to offer her help. And before you start to put your nose in other people's business you should ask yourself one question: What about yourself?! Would you wish that nearly everybody around tries to mess with an argument between you and your sibling?" She made a short pause so that Shane could think about her words for a moment. But she went on talking before he gave her an answer. (Besides it was mostly a rhetorical question.) "We can stay around and watch in silence but, please, don't leave me here alone. We still got our bags and, last but not least, we don't know what's going on - I mean, I got the feeling that there's a huge backstory which led to this happening." Her head turned into the direction where the girl had left the place before. "And I hope she's okay..." And she also asked herself who that good looking guy might be - but she didn't spoke that out loud.

"Everything all right here?"
Callum rolled his eyes so hard that it was a wonder it made no sound when yet another person was joining the audience around. Shit, couldn't they all just leave him alone? He knew that he had gone too far, so what? If he had his way, they could give him another hour's detention, and that was that. Not that spending his time in the detention class would change anything, but wasn't that how it always went?
"I'd love to say 'yes' but if you really wanted to reach out to me please take a look at the youngster, my dear,"
Callum reacted only with another series of eye-rolling and headshaking to the ongoing conversation around him; as if his brother and he would be some kind of out-of-control baboons that had to be put back into their compound. He hissed disparaging. Also, could somebody please punch that smug smile out of that man's face?
"Okay, boy, I might repeat myself but calm down! I don't know what was happening right before but I also saw that magic storm. Did you know how she managed it? And why the hell are you that mad about your... brother, right?"
"And who's asking? Who are you anyway, huh? Splitting on us to our dad, or what? Pff, do whatever you want. I don't care," Callum eventually replied in a pissed tone. He was just done with everyone staring at him. The volume of his voice might have taken on a lower tone at this point, yet his rage was still in the same place.

"Also, we can't all be around Ken, can we? Although, I heard zere exist a lot of versions. You'll keep me posted if they ever come up wiz a heavy metal edition - with guyliner please - will you?"
"Oh, ma chérie," Cami sighed in a sing-song way as her tone dropped gracefully from a high to a low. Basking in this rare occasion of Coco actually wanting to be closer than six feet, Cami beamed through a pursed, consoling smile as she comforted her best friend. She gently pat the top of Coco's head full of dark hair that still rested comfortably on her shoulder, "You will find your other half with ze amazing, dark shaggy hair. His grunge will compliment yours, as if ze universe made you for each other. Sporting ze sexiest guyliner you've ever seen anyone try to pull off. You will find each other and headbang to Dear Maria into all eternity...And if I find him, you bet I'll kidnap him and bring him to you." Cami chuckled lightly as she allowed her words to fuel Coco's wildest daydreams. They were two strong, independent girls who know exactly what they wanted. Why was it so hard to find love?
"Speaking of dates... Has yours proved himself getting a second?"
Once again, the spotlight was back onto Cami. Pulling away slightly from Coco, she turned to come face to face with her best friend as her demeanor grew slightly melancholic. Cami still smiled, yet her face fell as hard as if someone had just slapped her in the face. "I guess only time, and this tournament, will tell...," Her saddened eyes dropped down to Coco's hand as she scooped it into hers, "Zese silly boys don't deserve either of us, Coco. Why do I even bother with the concept of true love?" Cami's gaze traveled back up to meet Coco's. She spoke almost in a gentle whisper as emotion began to struck her voice, feeling defeated in her love game.

"...Would you wish that nearly everybody around tries to mess with an argument between you and your sibling?"
Shane stood in place. He felt stunned, as if Scarlet had just shouted 'stupefy!' in his direction. He took her words to heart, and as a brother himself he understood her points entirely. He knew that he would hate it if someone meddled in the midst of a fight with his younger sister. He eased off a bit and sighed in defeat, knowing that Scarlet was right. As usual.
"We can stay around and watch in silence but, please, don't leave me here alone. We still got our bags and, last but not least, we don't know what's going on - I mean, I got the feeling that there's a huge backstory which led to this happening." "And I hope she's okay..."
Shane's gaze tipped in the same direction as Scarlet's as they both stared off onto the path that the young girl had disappeared into. She had caused quite a commotion between herself and the boys who were know quarreling in the alleyway. Placing a comforting hand on Scarlet's shoulder, Shane felt more at ease as his head became more levelled, "I'm sure she will be alright. Are you...alright?" Shane asked Scarlet out of concern, "So much has happened here today with everyone. With us. I'd say it's about time we remove ourselves from all of this noise, don't you?" Shane suggested, feeling rather exhausted from the events of the day.

She felt like she could even see how Shane's brain digested her words. And she hoped that he wouldn't mind her too much because she knew that he loved his little sister. It was the same with her. She had an older brother but luckily they had ever get along very well. She couldn't imagine not once to have an argument with him like these blonde brothers from Hogwarts.
Suddenly she felt Shane's hand on her shoulder. A warm kind of feling started to prickle in her stomach. "I'm sure she will be alright. Are you...alright?" Scarlett considered for a moment. She didn't want to lie to her dear friend so she tried to be sure about her feelings now. "Yes, I'm okay. Thank you, Shane." She was. But she also lost her interest in shopping at Hogsmeade. Without thinking too long about what she was about to do she snuggled up to him closer. "But I just want to get back as soon as possible. I feel tired. Let's get back to the train station."

"Everything all right here?"
"I feel delirious!" Scorpius yelped, placing the back of his hand gently onto his forehead as if to portray that he felt sickly faint, "Me thinks he's damaged my windpipe," Scorpius exaggerated his actions as he struggled mildly to climb to his feet, holding onto his neck for dear life. His eyes filled with sheer panic, he graveled up to Delphi in distress, "I think I need medical attention." Scorpius spoke out of desperation, unsure if he was truly injured or was just simply trying to make his brother look like a complete villain. Perhaps both.

"But I just want to get back as soon as possible. I feel tired. Let's get back to the train station."
Patting Scarlet on the shoulder, Shane nodded in agreement at her suggestion to retreat to the station. The trip had surely been full of events. Excitement and wonder of all sorts. Yet, all the shopping and bar visiting had exhausted him. Shane felt as if he had shopped until he dropped, so to speak. "I'm pretty sure I saw a cozy looking bench with our names on it just outside the station. We could hang tight there until the train arrives." At that, Shane stepped to the side and curtsying his forehead downward, he stretched his arm out to the path back through the village and to the station, "Ladies first," Shane spoke in slightly higher spirits. He threw his arm comfortably around Scarlet's shoulders as they began their venture to the final destination before the end of their day trip.

"Oh, ma chérie,""You will find your other half with ze amazing, dark shaggy hair. His grunge will compliment yours, as if ze universe made you for each other. Sporting ze sexiest guyliner you've ever seen anyone try to pull off. You will find each other and headbang to Dear Maria into all eternity...And if I find him, you bet I'll kidnap him and bring him to you."
A wide grin, equally amused as dreamy, found its way onto Coco's features at her bestie's sweet words. She truly knew her as nobody else did. "Zat's my kinda love story, hehe."
When she had turned the topic to Cami instead, asking for her date with Ken - she wouldn't stop thinking of that dude as Ken, even though that didn't mean she would see a Barbie in her best friend, quite the contrary -, the sudden melancholic expression on her best friend's face set Coco on an alarm. If he had done any harm to her, she would so kick that dude's ass. However, she eased a bit once she saw Cami was still smiling, yet like somebody whose girl's dreams had been replaced with reality. Coco was not much of a dreamer herself, actually, but she knew Cami was, and she hated to see that taken away from her. Her best friend deserved nothing less than the Disney story she was dreaming of, although, in her eyes, that Ken dude had been appearing kind of too quick to be true. Coco, though, felt like it didn't belong to her to judge or even give voice to that.
"I guess only time, and this tournament, will tell...,""Zese silly boys don't deserve either of us, Coco. Why do I even bother with the concept of true love?"
"Because zat's what makes you tick," Coco replied with a shrug. "And zat's fine. You haven't yet lost your hopes in ze silly boys even if you say so." Coco, though, kind of had. Maybe not as for seeing them as a fun flirt, but as for dreaming of something like true love. Eh, too cheesy for her anyway. Deep down, however, Cami's former words had brought up some of the silly girl's dreams which probably everyone had in their heads, if she wanted it or not.

"I'd love to say 'yes' but if you really wanted to reach out to me please take a look at the youngster, my dear," the stranger said.
Before Delphi could do or say anything, Scorpius suddenly came up to her in a panic.
"I think I need medical attention"
Looking at him in his panic state she was pretty certain he only needed a good smack to settle him down, however that might not go over very well. So she decided to try a new approach.
"You know, I think I might have something for you..." she said as she reached into her bag, pulling out a tiny bottle. "I happen to carry a cure all around me all the time, a magic potion if you will to cure just about anything." In reality, it was a shot of fire whiskey.

While he had to deal with tha older fool Nathaniel got a blink at the younger fool and the unknown woman. "I think I need medical attention" "You know, I think I might have something for you..." Luckily she really might handle the situation. But he doubt that the boy needed medical help. It was more than obvious to him that lil' Malfoy just tried his best to get the most attention and cast his older brother in a negative light.
"And who's asking? Who are you anyway, huh? Splitting on us to our dad, or what? Pff, do whatever you want. I don't care," But Callum already did a good job by himself. Nevertheless Nathaniel went on being Mr. Nice-guy and didn't let the boy provoke him. "Call me Mr. King. And I'm the one who cares about others." Okay, let's be honest - not really, or to be fair not all time! And, of course, normally not about other people's problems when he wasn't involved himself. But this time he has to. These are students from Hogwarts. And in a few days he would be one of their teachers. So it might be also the best for him to take care of their situation. And probably he could find out more about the girl who was causing this trouble if he tried to get along with them.
"I don't want to bother you, Callum. I don't know what was going on and why you're so angry with your brother but I can imagine how you're feeling now." He looked at the boy from eye to eye. This time it would be the best not to queen it over him. "Don't know what about you, young man, but I could do with a drink. Oh, and the drinks are on me. And don't care about your teachers. They will never know. My lips are sealed, I promise." Nathaniel took a step back and gestured him to go forward. "Let's leave this place. I'm sure the little devil," he made a very short pause and acted like he was trying to apologize although the sparkle in his eyes revealed that he meant what he had said, "Pardon me, I mean your little brother seemed to be in good hands. And perhaps you want to talk. Or not - it's your decision."
"Thanks for your help, dearie," he then turned to the woman. "Maybe you want to talk later? I guess we'll be in the Broomsticks Inn - just in case..." Just in case that she was interested in a bit company.

"Because zat's what makes you tick," "And zat's fine. You haven't yet lost your hopes in ze silly boys even if you say so."
Cami was thankful that Coco was one of the few that could see through her melodramatic antics and bring her back down to the ground. She needed that every now and again. Coco was her reasoning in her storms and got Cami through some times where she felt like there was no point of return, "Zis is why you're my bestie," A warm expression of gratitude flashed over her features, but only for a moment where Coco could receive the message before rolling her eyes in a huff of desperation, "Now tell me you know where ze nearest place would be where we can drown ourselves in pounds of chocolate to forget zis monstrosity of a day," Cami almost wanted to giggle, she knew how silly she sounded. She sometimes considered legally making drama her middle name. Yet, there was nothing better than stuffing your face with comforting delicacies. The perfect distraction.

Callum didn't say anything to the pathetic act his pesky brother was playing, nor did he bother if anyone around really would be naive enough to buy it. This whole scene had become so exaggerated and ridiculous that he just as little bothered what this guy in front of him said or did. While Callum pretended to listen, only half-heartedly though, his mind couldn't have been farther away.
He was worried. Not about himself or anyone around, or Scorpius even. No, he was only worried about Anya. Where had she left to? And why had she just left him like he'd be one of those people around, not giving a shit about her? Of course, he did. He was concerned. She meant everything to him. They could throw him in a cell at Askaban, and all Callum worried about would still be her. He wished that he'd been able to tell her... earlier. Much earlier.
"... don't care about your teachers. They will never know. My lips are sealed, I promise."
Suddenly, Callum's eyes were clearing up again, his attention being brought back to the situation at hand. What the heck's this dude talking about? He gave the man a puzzled and, at the same time, loath expression, honestly feeling like he had missed a great deal. Still, he didn't even bother to ask. They shall do with him what they wanted. It was all right as long as the people around would finally stop staring at him.
"Let's leave this place. I'm sure the little devil,""Pardon me, I mean your little brother seemed to be in good hands. And perhaps you want to talk. Or not - it's your decision."
Did he just state it was 'all' right? Callum rolled his eyes, this time only inwardly, though, at the man's invitation, then gave him just a shrug that silently said 'whatever'. And when the man prompted him to go first, gesturing towards the Three Broomsticks Inn, Callum actually obliged, yet only to get over with this and especially out of here. However, this was not exactly what he had imagined when he'd thought of sharing a butterbeer earlier this day. Right now, he would even prefer the detention class...
