Painful

[christianne claremont]

Chris felt the tip of his wand at her head and stilled. Fighting back anger and painful memories she swallowed her urge to try and scream again and took a firmer grip on her own wand, planning her next move. Who did this boy think he was? Her eyes frantically scanned the throng in front of her. How had no one noticed what was happening?

'I didn't elbow you' Declan growled before going on to prove to her the he had plenty more than a single brain cell, murmuring a spell that would have her tongue feeling too heavy to move, intending to show her that she shouldn't be so quick to run her mouth off with accusations and really there was no reason for it not to hit home since their proximity was so close.

Feeling rather claustrophobic, Maia stepped aside from the crowd to catch her breath before catching sight of something rather interesting further along the corridor. She could make out Fletcher from her own house, but the brunette girl... well, she couldn't see enough of her to know who she was. Fletcher had his wand out, and smiling, Maia bounded over, feeling the need for a good laugh.

She neared, making out the features of Chris Claremont. Maia's smile disappeared, and her eyes slowly narrowed. She whipped out her own wand, and when she came close enough, pointed the tip into the back of his head. She had been quick, and the noise of the crowd should have drowned out her footsteps.

"Oh, hello there," she said coolly, smile returning, prepared to hex him if she had to.

Chris felt relief wash over her when she heard her best friends voice. The spell that the loathsome boy had put on her prevented speech but she could still move. She waited for the boy to acknowledge Maia's presence, knowing that if he didn't lower his wand fairly soon he would most likely be hanging from the ceiling within the next 3 minutes.

'Rivas' Declan growled when he finally placed the voice. Had it been a female from another house he probably wouldn't have had a clue who had jammed their wand into the back of his head but he'd heard her talking around the common room enough to know.

'I was just informing your little friend here that it wasn't polite to make assumptions about situations or people' He continued, not sure whether she'd lower her wand or not but hoping that she would. After all, he was done with what he wanted to do, since he intended to let the stupid little Ravenclaw wander the castle unable to talk until someone helped her.

Maia kept her arm still, wand tip still pressed to the back of his head. Something told her he wouldn't be so civil once she'd lowered it. "Ah, I see." She didn't really see the point in attacking him, so instead she cast something that would work as a defense for herself and Christianne. "Confundo," she muttered. If the spell worked, he'd find himself extremely confused in the next moment, probably even forgetting what he had been doing. Thinking it had probably worked, she lowered her wand finally, moving closer to her friend. "You alright, Chris?"

[christianne claremont]

Chris made full use of the distraction and wrenched herself free from the boy's grasp, pointing her wand at his throat. She motioned to her her mouth and clicked her fingers in an attempt to get Maia to understand to cast a 'finite incantem' Her eyes never left the boy's face. He was in trouble now, She could feel the fury bubbling below the calm facade. She didn't give much for his chances, not against herself and Maia.
