“Hmm, how persistent.” He muttered thoughtfully, to his annoyance she continued speaking, his visage wore a bored expression, but then a set of words caught his interest. “Not leaving? Can’t make you?” he said eerily, his head cocked to the side ever so slightly. His tone had changed immensely; it was now level with the hint of something. His eyes glittered dangerously. “You’re either stupid and foolish or brave, or… perhaps even daft, in which I shall take the former... and now considering this, I shall take the latter too.” Severus added, his face was now curiously flat. “And I must say you are exceedingly naïve to think I can’t possibly make you leave. Your stupidity astounds me Miss Deludo.” He drawled, his tone was calm yet it held a twinge of acidity and criticism to it.
Nonchalantly, Severus Snape pulled out his wand and continued to seemingly forget her for a moment while he inspected his wand, as if it had become the most important thing at the moment, this action, however, was to clarify his point. “Wands Miss Deludo, is clearly something you’ve mistakenly forgotten.” The corners of his lips were tugged downward in a mock frown, “And here I thought you had at least an ounce of wit and intelligence about you.” With a languid movement and flick of the hand he had pointed it at the other “Ventus.” The sallow-skinned young man said. This spell causes the victim to be propelled backward by a strong force of wind. That should get her away from me he thought. It wasn’t necessarily out of spite, it was just the fact that she had challenged him is all.

"Yes I guess I am stupid," Nex frowned " But we all have flaws in our personality... or intellegence in my case apparently" she watched his moves carefully "You may be able to get me away from your general area at this time" she admitted biting her tongue to prevent her saying anything else, deciding it better not to give him more reason to insult her. She wanted to start choosing her words allot more carefully around the person.
Now he had drawn his wand, great. Before she knew it she felt herself being flung outside and generally the opposite direction of Severus... well even I idiot would get that logic "Bugger, next time I go over there I'll keep my wand at the ready" Nex whispered to herself as she picked herself up from the wet ground. To her annoyance it was still raining and now she was muddy, at least Severus's little comment had reminded her that her wand was on her. Taking it out of one of her many pockets she pointed it at her clothing and muttered a spell to get rid of the mud. Quickly waving again at the group of people she knew, she pondered how to get back near Severus. He was right about one thing, she was bloody persistent.

“God you’re an annoying prat. Right up there with Potter and Black.” He said sourly, a snarl distorted his face by just thinking of them but a smirk evened out the wrinkles in his sallow skin, he even chuckled as he witnessed her reaction. She seemed bemused at what happened at first then she proceeded to get up and clean herself off. “Hey Nex.” He called with his free hand coming up to the side of his mouth to aid in the projection of his voice. “The landing was a bit rough. I’d say you need practice.” Said he before he went into a mild fit of laughter at his own joke. He glanced to his right but no one was there chortling with him, it was odd not seeing Aevery or Mulciber around to laugh with him and poke fun at their prey. No matter, he could still have his fun. “I wasn’t aware that such a nitwit could entertain me so.” He said to no one in particular, a smirk still gracing his lips. His own small triumph. He was convinced that this little event had made his day.

Francesca looked back, watching Nex going flying backwards. "You little bastard." She yelled to Severus, walking back to him. " Incendio!" She screamed, pointing her wand at him. That spell was meant to send flames flying at the target. "Don't do that to her, okay? Is something wrong with you? Clearly, she tried apologizing, no one you are so friendless." She snapped, looking at Nex.
She folded her arm, standing up straight. She didn't care if she got hexed, she hexed him anyway. He didn't have to hex Nex, it was a simple apology. Holding her wand in her hand, glaring at Severus. "Hexing people isn't funny, you know. Then making stupid little jokes about it isn't either. It's immature. You weren't like this with Lily Evans, were you?" She snapped.

Phil grinned. "Thalia it is then,"
Gideon, on the other hand, was sidetracked by a much different conversation. The girl (Well he still wasn't sure whether or not it actually was a girl ) sitting next to him had gone to talk to Snape, of all people. Naturally he couldn't help but be curious as to why anyone would want to do that. It was certainly more than odd that even the Arlington girl was with Good ol' Severus. Now that the girl's hair colour had changed, Gideon recognized her as the girl from the three broomsticks. Nex... something or other. He'd never caught the last name.
Even though the seat next to him was now free, Gideon still remained on Phil. That way he was still under the umberella. Without a doubt in his mind, Gideon believed that this girl was more than capable of defending herself. It was only words, and therefore an empty and meaningless fight. There was no need to get involved... until Snape hexed her, that is.
Now Gideon was pissed off, which meant that he couldn't help but become involved. His sister had actually been the one that had drummed into Gideon that girls can hurt boys and girls can hurt each other (And it would be dangerous and stupid for a man to intervene in that) yet a man should never hurt a girl. It was just the way things were. You didn't argue with it.
In this case, Gideon probably would have forgotten that he could use his wand, and gladly go beat the crap out of Snivellus with the help of his fists. This would most likely have happened if Francesca hadn't got there first. "What's going on here then?" Gideon asked cooly as he approached the group, taking his wand out of his pocket and twirling it around his fingers.

Nex looked towards Snape, now she wasn't pleased. No one was going to push her around and make fun of her; gripping her wand tightly she yelled back at him "You know what, you say James and Sirius are prats. Well you should think about how you’re acting, because you’re just as bad as they are!" she hissed, now ready for his hexes with some of her own. All signs of joking where out of her voice now, she wasn't messing about now."You think you’re so much better than me? You arrogant twat!"
"Is this the thanks I get for trying to help and be nice?" she continued "You deserve everything you get" she finished before noticing Francesca; the other girl was defending her? Before her eyes another hex was being cast this time in Severus's direction "It's all right, this is under control" she started before another walked over. She had a feeling this wasn't going well or under control at all.

“Well aren’t you a sore loser.” Severus hissed at Nex before turning to Francesca who was defending her, she even cast a spell at him. Severus poised his wand and countered with ‘Protego’, a simple shield charm that causes the spell to be directed back at the attacker. His eyes narrowed and he rose to his feet, “I can hit you but you can’t hit me, that’s the sort of game you play, or perhaps I didn’t hear you clearly when you were making fun of them only moments before.” His tone was acidic and harsh. “And what are you my mother? I don’t need you or anyone else ordering me around and telling me what to do, this clearly doesn’t have a thing to do with you does it?” He spat and ignored her comment about him not having any friends, she was partly right but he wouldn’t let her have such victory. Her next set of words angered him and he took a threatening step towards her, “Look here girl, you didn’t catch the whole thing because you walked off! She was pestering me! I made it clear that I didn’t want to be bothered.” His voice had risen out of uncontrolled anger; his arms flicked this way and that for emphasis. Severus glanced at Nex and forced his tone to level and quiet down, “She wouldn’t leave, as a matter of fact as I recall, she challenged my ability to do so by stating ‘You can’t make me go away’.” Snape said quietly before he shot a nasty look at Nex. At the mention of Lily Evans, he couldn’t control the elevation of his voice, “So don’t go hexing me when it’s clearly her own doing! And don’t you dare Lily into this!” The tall young man added vehemently.
A third party member joined in the tantalizing of Severus Snape. Gideon. Oh God, Gideon. “This is none of your concern Gideon, back off.” Severus growled. Again the other spoke, Nex; she was starting to annoy him greatly. “Don’t you even compare me to them when you know nothing, nothing about me!” Snape’s face was distorted into a nasty snarl as he shouted this at her. He inwardly tried to contain the swirling mass of hatred and envy inside of him. He was outnumbered, but what really got him was these people defended her and they hardly knew her. Where were his people, why weren’t they defending him? Now that he reflected on such, he realized didn’t have anyone that would do such a thing and he envied it, envied them, envied her, the whole lot. It wasn’t fair… Then again, life wasn’t fair, was it?
ooc// Poor Snape.

Eyes widening at the spell, the fire hit her. She screamed at the pain, then shouted, want pointing to the flame, "A..Aquamenti.". The flame got out, also thanks to the rain. "You got a problem with that? I don't know. Yes, before you when all ass hole to me. Actually, most of them aren't that bad." Francesca snapped, ignoring Nex. "As if I would want to be the mother of a greasy thing like you. That would like being a mother of a slug. Does it? I don't give a damn." She said. Watching him step closer, she didn't care,"Girl? Wow. Good insult. If you don't want to be fucking bothered, leave! It isn't that hard, you know.". She rolled her eyes at his tone,"It's called forgiving. Or maybe you never heard of it. I heard Lily Evans didn't, is that why? I don't think Nex did anything. It is called apologizing.". Francesca stepped closer, her tone soft now, but teasing,"Why? Do you miss her? I heard she was your best friend. Did you love her?". It was easy to pull Lily in this.
Francesca didn't dare looking at Gideon, one moment looking back and getting hexed full blast. Holding her wand firmly at her side, ready to protect herself. She didn't want to even bother getting hexed again.

Nex looked at Snape "Don't tell me I can't compare you when you decided you knew whom I was in just a few sentences. Why can't you just accept an apology when it's presented to you?" Nex asked coolly. Clutching her wand tighter she stared at everyone in turn. This was just turning stupid and dangerous now. Twirling black hair around her finger absentmindedly, she noticed that Severus seemed rather touchy about some Lilly girl, curious but knowing better than to ask she made up her mind to check later.

As the spell hit her, Severus made a subtle move towards her, his eyes were slightly wide in shock. He hadn’t expected that to hit her let alone harm her as it did. “I di—“ He was overrode by her words, he was saying that he didn’t mean to but now that he had insulted him he forgot about his near apology. His lips were pressed in a hard line at her words. He had no comment on his mother or to any of that as a matter of fact. He actually hadn’t thought about his home in a long while, and with good reason. “If only you knew or your ignorance.” He muttered, referring to the statement about his mother and of his home, “And yeah, maybe because…” He stopped himself. He couldn’t bring himself to say what he wanted to her especially when others were present to here. He had wanted to tell her that he called her ‘girl’ because he didn’t wish to insult her and that was the only word he could think of that wasn’t discourteous at the time. Snape snorted. But stepped back a step when Francesca came forth, it wasn’t that her advancements caused his back steps, it was her words and for this he looked down and away and frowned faintly.
Severus was deciding on what to say when Nex butted in and he silently thanked her for this, it meant he didn’t have to answer the other. Again he was feeling frustrated, he could’ve answered her with a comeback but he had had enough of this, had enough of Nex, had enough of Francesca.
"I've had enough of this foolishness." He said quietly, yet severely. Snape turned slightly so that he faced the nearest door and marched towards it as he placed his wand inside his robes, he passed Francesca and nearly butted shoulders but with conscious effort Severus turned his torso just so that he barely missed her. He made no eye contact with either of them as he walked.

Looking at Severus, she calmed down. She caught his cut off works, cocking her head,"What?". Looking at him, she shifted her weight. "Because...?" She asked, actually not angry now. Frowning she looked at him, guilt flooding all over. When he walked past her, she sighed, then followed him. She would continue to follow until the rain didn't hit her, or until they weren't in ear shot of the group.
Francesca would probably apologize. She didn't want to do that, she just got annoyed about the whole baby thing. About two feet behind her, she looked back, then to Severus.

Not even a few feet and already he felt another’s eyes on him and heard the faint thudding of footfalls behind him, at first he thought it was Nex, her and her guilt he thought. But then Severus realized which voice that belonged to; Francesca. “Nothing.” He barked. “Because nothing. You had your say and I’ve had mine, its over.” The sallow-skinned figure didn’t look back at Francesca as he spoke, his eyes were focused on the door that he ventured closer to.

Francesca followed and said,"I'm sorry. I'm sorry about every i said before. I just got annoyed about the whole baby thing.". She continued to follow, running a hand through her hair. Her arm had a rather large burn mark from the hex, but that was pretty much her fault. She had a frown marked upon her lips, knowing she shouldn't have said any of that.
"And I'm sorry about the almost hitting you fire." She said with a sigh. Her arm was stinging slightly, but she ignored it. But it kept stinging, making her rub it uncomfortably. She would probably go to Pomfrey later.

“Did you now?” He asked uninterested, his tone was level yet curiously detached. Snape reached the door and pulled it open and walked inside. Not many students walked through the halls now, they were probably all outside he thought rather annoyed for the reason he came outside was to rid him of the incessant buzzing of the hundreds of voices and the shuffling of feet. Oh well. Still she talked and this time he turned around so swiftly he almost thought he’d lose balance, but alas he did not. His dark unforgiving eyes bore down upon the female, his face hard and his line taught. “I was told to leave and I did just that.” He said quietly, his words drawn out slow yet with heavy precision. “And now I’m being followed. Didn’t I make it clear that I wanted no such company?” His eyes left her only to land upon the wound he’d inflicted upon her. It was a nasty burn of sorts. A small something flashed in his eyes but it left just as quickly as it had come.
“Gimme your arm.” He instructed, but as he said so he had reached out and grabbed for it quickly, allowing her little or no time to react. In one fluid movement he had her arm and pulled out his wand in the other. His hold on her was firm, yet had a certain delicate touch, like the way he handled his potions; feathery light touches. His wand was then poised and pointed at the burn mark, wordlessly a spell was cast and the wound began to shrink in size and the redness was reduced until nothing was left that marred her skin. Snape seemed satisfied with his work for released her arm and put hi wand away silently.

Gideon's eyes narrowed further. "Now Severus, clearly I'm not going to back off. It is my concern because this girl - Nex, wasn't it?" He asked her quickly. The last time Gideon had met her, she'd told him that she was a dude. Plus Gideon had never really had a head for names. "Well She was trying to apologize anyway. Trying to be nice. Remember what I said on first impressions?" He replied in the same harsh tone, yet it became merely condescending (and obnoxious) as he went on. I mean - it was Gideon after all.
He had to admit - it was quite enjoyable to watch Francesca and ol' Snape-a-doodle (Yes, Gideon knows that he should stop with the wierd Snape names.) passing insults. Well, it was until Snape walked away, Francesca following. He sighed - now there was only one option for how he should spend his morning - to go back and join the group and listen to something that would be of no interest to him whatsoever. It was such a hard life for Gideon.
"Are you sure you're ok?" He asked Nex with a small smile.
