Suvansh looks at the sudden arrival. He was bewildered how someone
just appeared in front of them, even though apparition wasn't even
doable inside Hogwarts. When he notices the dark clouds, he panics
and does a mental Petrificus Totalus at Scarlett. When he
heard the string of seemingly peculiar words, and after the dark
mist cleared, Suvansh recognised Scarlett, but didn't let her go.
He just did Finite on her head, so she could speak, but not
move or do any kind of magic. "How bold are you to openly foster
dark magic within the grounds of Hogwarts, Lestrange?" He said with
spite. He knew teleportating to classes wasn't much, but it wasn't
under the rules to do so either.
The Lestrange simply stared coldly at Suvansh, trying to break
free, but unable to. Fortunately, her wand was pointed in Jules’
direction. Good, a weakness to exploit. Scarlett thought. Out loud,
she said in a sharp, cold voice “What does it concern you, you
pathetic fool? Why do you concern yourself with things you do not
understand? I give you fair warning, unfreeze me, and leave me be,
otherwise your fellow head boy here will be cursed. Not by any
minor spell, but the one of the Half Blood Prince. I doubt you know
the countercurse for Sectumsempra, do you not? Your wand work is
foolish, and has failed partially. It is sloppy, and you’ll do well
to practice the finite spell. Finite does not, in any way, defend
against slightly more major curses.”
Aurora paused. She was reading a book, but had been getting
increasingly distressed as she continued reading the book. She
concentrates, and closest her eyes. "Suvansh!" she realizes with a
start. She scrambled to put her book in her bag. "Where are you,
where are you, where are you?" she repeated, trying to search the
little of Suvansh's head she could "see." She closes her eyes
again. "Come on Suv, where are you?" she murmurs aloud, sending the
message with her mind.

Samton was glad his next class was going to be "Care of Magical
Creatures." Even more so that Prof Ruby, due to some personal
emergency, had left everyone a few minutes early. It was quite the
sight he was seeing after all. The chaos loving part of him his old
family had imprinted in him was loving the sight. He walked towards
the commotion. "As if Vulnera Sanentur is impossible to perform."
He was smiling as friendly as he could. He found it rather
difficult to not laugh. Looks like Nott has a parter befitting
him, eh?" His thoughts were blocked by occlumency, of course,
but he somewhat hoped someone would read it just to laugh with him.
Aurora growls. "Avenseguim" she says, waving her wand. Aurora had a
necklace, that Suvansh had given her. It leads her to where
Scarlett is pointing her wand at Jules, and Suvansh has his wand at
Scarlett. Aurora doesn't even need to asks. "Expelliarmus." she
thinks, pointing her wand at Scarlett's immobile body.

"Oh, Aurora, right? I'm Redrose. Sa- well, you can just call me
Red. I heard from Prof Mcgonnagal that your legilimency and
occluency are second to none at Hogwarts. I am a legilimence and
occluent too, actually. If you have some time, would you mind
giving me some pointers?" Samton firstly, didn't want to bring back
any bad memories for her. Secondly, he was just, really interested
in this. "My powers not meant to kill". That's what he
called his legilimency and occlumency.
Suvansh was startled at her threat. He thought of sealing her mouth
shut again- but then he couldn't take the risk of her knowing
non-verbal spells, even if it was less likely. As he was thinking
what to do, he saw a beam of green light spark from Aurora's wand.
The expelling charm, due to which Scarlett's wand flew way back
away. "Using dark magic, and then threatening to almost kill a
headboy" Suvansh nods. "What more do you need for expulsion?" He
goes to call for Hagrid, the only teacher around, who had gone into
his hut for a moment.
Aurora sighs. "Now is really not the greatest of times..." she
says, gesturing towards the scene in front of them. "Maybe later."
she adds, mentally kicking herself. She turns her attention back to
the group in front, and narrows her eyes. "What the heck is going
on here?" she asks no one in particular.

Scarlett lets out a threatening growl, and her eyes glow that deep
dark blood red. Her wand flies from her hand and into Aurora’s. Her
eyes swirl with a hint of psychotic-ness, as she begins chanting in
Parseltongue. Long tendril of black, dark green and red swirl
around her, as she seemingly breaks free from the spells, being
lifted up into the air, her hair flowing behind her, her robes
swaying gently to the invisible wind. Dark veins begin to appear on
her neck, slowly spreading, as a horrible feeling sweeps through
the room. The whole castle rumbles, before Scarlett finally drops
to the ground, screaming in agony and crying in pain, kneeling with
her hands covering her head. “Please, someone, do something,
anything, just make it stop. KILL ME” she shouts, her voice
resonating down he corridor. Anyone could see her breaking down,
and something was clearly wrong. She didn’t seem to be in control
of herself....
"Makes sense." Samton said. Suddenly, he sees Scarlett weirding
out. "Nott, are you sure you're not dealing with a textbook
demon lord over here." Samton looks over to the head boys and
girl. His emotion was packed full with "There's a mountain of
problems to unpack here but I'd rather throw away the whole
suitcase."
Nott knew something was wrong. Perhaps it was his intuition. Or
perhaps it was the fact that Scarlett had just levitated with dark
veins all over her just a few feet away from him. Either way, he
gave a single laugh. A laugh of "I have 0 clue what in the
universe I have gotten myself into."
As Suvansh and Hagrid comes rushing towards all the students, they
heard Scarlett cry out loud. She is evil, she is just bluffing.
No way she isn't under control of what she's doing. Suvansh
thinks. Hagrid, on the other hand couldn't take chances. He did
some spell, from his wand (which was given to him after the Battle
of Hogwarts). Scarlett's dark veins melted into her body as they
had risen. He lifts Scarlett up and takes her to the infirmry, to
Madam Pomphrey. Suvansh wipes sweat from his brow and goes to his
friends. He doesn't notice Samton there. He proceeds to give Aurora
and Jules a fistbump each.
"Straight up ignored, huh?"
Nott's comment was met with a glare from Samton. "Shouldn't you be chasing after your
girlfriend?" "Envious you've never had one? Aww, I'll
tell you the tales of our adventures. Together!. So don't
worry!"
"Why are you here?" "Because in front of them, you won't do
me any harm." "Not until it won't affect me
poorly."
Clear as daylight, the only things distinguishing the two at that
moment were Samton's pursuit for knowledge as opposed to power, and
the side of history they both would end up in.
Suvansh notices Samton and Nott whispering, but not exactly paying
attention about who they were. "Do you both have a class
here now or something?" One of them looked a year elder than the
other, but they were passable as belonging to the same year.
"Care of Magical Creatures for
me." Samton turned to face Nott, and gave him a questioning
look.
"This period is free for me. I was
curious about what happened. You are, Suvansh, was it not? What was
that just now?"
Nott had his occlumency all the way up, to prevent anything from
happening. After all, two of the most powerful legilimences in
Hogwarts were right there.
Scarlett soon recovers. Thanking Madam Pomfrey and Hagrid, she
leaves the hospital wing, passing by Suvansh, Nott, and Samton once
more. In her hurry, she doesn’t notice the paper flutter to the
ground. On it was written “A Study Of The Dark Arts. books
recommended— rise and fall of the dark arts, magick moste evile,
and several more. Several sticky notes and pointers lined the messy
essay-report like paper, but one was highlighted.
Teleportation.....
Suvansh now recognises Samton, by his voice partially, and gives
him a slight nod. He focuses at Nott. He didn't really know him,
but recognised him as a third year Slytherin. "Why yes I am, and
who are you?" Suvansh says, not with less spite than how he spoke
with Scarlett. This was not because he was a Slytherin, but just
because he had this... mysterious and sinister air around him that
Suvansh didn't like. Moreover, he didn't really feel like
explaining anything for now, and thought he should excuse himself
for his next class now. "And sorry, I would happily explain to you,
but I need to take my leave for my charms class now." He hoped Nott
won't press on him. He looks at Scarlett pass them again, and
wonders how did she manage to come back so quick. He sighs. He
doesn't notice the paper she dropped (please have Aurora or Jules
spot it and like tell Suvansh later).
"Very well, then. I'm Adalwen Nott, a
third year. I suppose you are rather busy. You are the role-model
after all! You shouldn't be late." Nott says with a
smile.
Samton's attention turns to the paper on the ground. He doesn't
touch it, in fear of charms and the such. This is Lestrange we're
talking about after all. In it he sees, a list of books? It looked
like a report of sorts to Samton, and he decided to keep it in his
mind.
"Is this to trick them? If not, I fear
Nott's new playbuddy is probably just a one-trick pony."
Aubrey woke up throwing up, there was no way she could make it to
class and she could barely get out of bed. She tried to get up to
write to Professor McGonagall explaining that she wouldn’t be able
to make it to class. Then she walked back to her bed hoping to get
some rest and maybe feel better when she woke up.
Suvansh bites his lips at how Nott mentions him being a
"role-model". He just shakes his head off and gets into the castle,
moving towards the charms classroom.
Aurora bites back a stinging retort. Like Samton, she had seen the
paper. While she has less conventional reasons for not wanting to
touch it, she leaves it on the ground. She takes a mental
photograph of the piece of paper. She narrows her eyes at Samton,
whose name she took from Suvansh's head. She feels a pang of
sadness as she remembers the other Samton, the one to mentally
damaged to attend school.
