Boredom... Not a Good Thing.

[CAPTAIN 'AL !]

Blaming things on other people was the perfect way to stay out of trouble and keep yourself in the teacher’s good books, Caelum Mulciber knew this very well. However if they people you blamed were the people who you spent the most time with, it was also a one-way ticket to boredom, for as long as the detentions lasted, at least. Caelum knew this very well, also, and it was the reason he was standing alone in the corridor, twisting his wand idly in his fingers.

He ran checklists through his mind… anything he /could/ be doing? Homework was done… Not all by him, but that wasn’t the point… It was raining, so there was no point in going outside, and MacDonald (curse her soul, really) had disappeared off somewhere, so he didn’t even have his easy target close by.

Well, it wouldn’t be that difficult to find a new one, he thought, so smirking slightly, he started off down the corridor.

Gah. Damn Slughorn. Marlene McKinnon shoved her hands into the pockets of her robes as she exited the potions class room and started back towards the Gryffindor common room. So she'd blown up one potion. That didn't deserve two weeks of detention. It'd been an accident. Okay...not really, seeing as she as Sirius had just gotten bored and started throwing in whatever they could. Those four hand-fulls of....whatever the hell that blue stuff was put the potion over the edge. But it was still funny.
Slughorn just didn't think so, apparently. Marlene sighed as she turned the corner and was suprised to find that she'd walked into someone. She glanced up at him.
Oh. A slytherin. What was the dude's name? Umm....See-something. Mulciber. Right. That was his last name. Definatly. "Sorry." She said, not sounding sorry at all, as she moved to step around him.

[CAPTAIN 'AL !]

Caelum stopped abruptly as someone walked into him, and he immediately reached for his wand in his pocket.

”Sorry,”

The girl – McKinnon, was it? He thought so – moved to step around him, but he moved with her, blocking her path.

“McKinnon, right?” He said, not really caring if he got her name right or not. He smirked. “In a hurry?”

Well, it hadn’t taken long to find a substitute for MacDonald. Although whether the McKinnon girl was as easy a target or not, he didn’t know, but he didn’t mind a challenge. Hell, it would probably be more fun that way.

[katelyn]

Marlene stiffened slightly when he blocked her path. Ohhhh, right. Mulciber was the bitch. She rolled her eyes. Gah. So didn't need this at the moment. Her hands were already in her pockets, and so she gripped her wand tightly. She took a small step back, so that she wouldn't have to look straight up to see his face.
Plus it was pretty damn hard to duel if you were standing that close to a person. And she could easily tell that this would turn into a duel.
Sounded good. She was up for a little excitement. What's one more detention?
"And what business of yours is it if i am in a hurry?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

[CAPTAIN 'AL !]

“Well, well. Tetchy one, aren’t you? Is conversation forbidden now?” he looked her up and down, still smirking.

Oh, so much better than MacDonald. So far, at least. The girl might end up to be all mouth and no trousers, but at she’d got off to a good start…

ooc , sorry bunneh. DD: i'm brain dead.

[katelyn]

ooc;
issfineeee(:
mine's worse, anyways
xD

Marlene calmly took her wand out and twirled it between her fingers. "No." She stated, smriking. "I just don't think it's any of your business what I do. Especially seeing as we've never officialy met until now." She rolled her eyes as she saw him give her a once-over. "And y'know, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me just get by. Because, you know. Kicking your ass in a duel could take a bit of time, and I'm kind of on a busy schdule at the moment." She quickly stepped around him before he had a chance to stop her, smirking slightly.
Not that she wouldn't face him in a duel if he started it. She just didn't want to start it herself.

[shay]

Chase jogged down two flights of stairs, and started down the new corridor. He was avoiding returning to the common room immediately, in case Autumn was headed there as well. His hands were still shoved in his pockets until he heard voices. Pissed-off voices. One registered immediately as belonging to Marlene McKinnon, a life-long friend of his, who was more a sister than anything. The other took a little bit longer, but finally clicked.
That fucking Caelum rat.
He kept his pace steady, but pulled one hand out of his pocket, drawing his wand with it. Better safe than sorry, if they really were involved in a heated discussion. As e rounded another corner, they came into view. He watched as Marlene began to step around Caelum, a little too close to him for Chase to be comfortable.
"Mulciber, got a problem? You look a little perplexed, man."
Chase slowed to a stop, about ten feet away from the two. Tons of room to work with, if need be. The two boys were quite familiar with each other, from previous run-ins and such. Honestly, it was kind of nice, having an excuse to call him on. Marlene was generally his excuse, in these situations... Go figure.

[CAPTAIN 'AL !]

Caelum rolled his eyes at her reply, and then turned and grabbed her wrist as she tried to walk away.

“Aw, McKinnon, don’t leave so fast, doll,” he smirked. “We can do formal introductions if we must. There’s no time like the present.”

He held out his free hand, waiting for her to shake it.

"Mulciber, got a problem? You look a little perplexed, man."

He looked up. Great, now McKinnon’s damn bodyguard had shown up. He hadn’t talked to the McKinnon girl before, but Ryder he knew. Well, as much as you could get to know someone from arguing with them in corridors.

Raised one eyebrow, Caelum transferred his gaze from Marlene to Chase. “Got a problem, Ryder?”
