[open]late night wander

[Kai Paris Esme Bletchley]

Being a Hufflepuff, Dumbledore's Army supporter, Traitor to a death eater family, she shouldn't be going down to the dungeons at all, but going down there this late at night was dangerous in itself. This was her second year at Hogwarts and the only times that she had ever gone down to the dungeons was for potions lessons and she didn't like going down there then. But now, here it was, two in the morning and Kai Bletchley was wandering the dungeons, hoping that the Slytherins were too busy sleeping than to mess with her.

Ha! Hadn't she heard somewhere that Slytherins never slept? That they were too busy torturing some poor, unfortunate soul? If she wasn't careful, she would be that poor unfortunate soul. Well, either way, they couldn't very well cause her more pain. Because she was a wizard, she couldn't be adopted from the orphanage and she wasn't wanted in the wizarding world. Maybe Miles was right. Maybe she did deserve to die. Kai would probably be better off dead. She sighed as she thought about it. Or maybe she should join the gang just to feel wanted. No, that was out of the question. The gang were bad people. They wanted everyone dead. They brought people down. Why would anyone want to join the gang?

Kai heard something and spun around quickly, but sighed in relief when she saw that it was only a ghost. She decided that it was time to go back upstairs to her common room. She was walked up the steps slowly, but when she reached the top, she had to go back downstairs, as she had spotted a teacher and she didn't want to get into trouble. Kai reached the dungoens again and leaned against the wall near the stairs. The professor couldn't be there all night. She would check it out every so often. She hoped that the teacher would be gone soon.

[Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy]

It use to be simple back then. Your born. You grow. You learn. You marry. You have kids. Then you die. It was the simplest of times. Nothing like them now-a-days. It was always something that many didn’t understand. Some believed that they would life and die with nothing others that lived died with everything. Sometimes things change. Courses change. Destiny becomes something new due to a twist. Of course it could be due to a cut or even a scrape. Or worse. It would change everything in an instant. A flash. Is there anything greater than life? Or is death actually something to be excited about and welcome? What could be more exciting than living for eternity? To see everything change? See what stays the same. To become anything and everything? Scorpius thought as he walked through one of his favourite places in Hogwarts. He took the chance to wander threw the darkened dungeons. He found them comfortable, cool, quiet, even soothing at this late at night. He finished his crackers that he took from the kitchen earlier. He heard a sound and started to wonder who or what it was. He wasn’t afraid he was more intrigued that something would be even be there. His seventh birthday was coming sooner than he had hoped. All his plans to skip out of school for a few days fell through. He had a huge choice to make and in only a matter of days.

He turned the corner and paused as he noticed the shadows. He knew to watch himself now as it could be a professor. He was on his way back up deciding that it was time to return to his dorm room. Watching the person leave only to return quickly he realized that it was another student. He smirked as he started to wonder what student it was. He noticed a light shining over the stairs and he figured that whoever it was caught the professor’s attention that it was going to be investigated. He looked back to the student and through the darkness he realized the student was a girl and what looked to have brown hair but he could be wrong due to the shadows. He was sure that it was lighter but he wasn’t going to flash a light right now to find out. He waited until the light disappeared when he finally made his way towards the girl. He had fairly good night sight but it was nothing on a vampire. He moved silently towards the girl only to lean on the walls and block her way up the stairs.

Thinking things through carefully and how to break the deadly silence of the dungeon he finally choose and found the words to say. “What brings, a pretty little thing like you down into the deep dark damp dungeons?” he questioned in a low dark typical Slytherin tone. He smirked as he was curious on how badly he could scare the young girl. He moved out showing himself, standing just inches from her, he realised who it was. “Kai? Kai Bletchley?” he asked in calmer and lighter tone. “What are you doing down here at this hour?” he questioned almost in a defensive and protective manner. He shook his head as he ran a hand through his hair. “Kota wouldn’t like the idea of you being down here at this hour.” He mumbled more to himself than to her.
