A chilly gust of wind entered theenterence to the great castle as Malachy, an albino boy of 18 walked int the entrance way of his school from out side. He headed to the steps but his mind was racing from one place to another too fast for him to get much of a coherant thought. He stopped before the steps going into the Palace and began pacing.
Images kept flashing in his mind, Shad's lips on hers, her face when she saw Mal Kissing Ash, His fist slamming into Shadow's face, Morgan Lying broken and in emotional anguish in the hospital wing. All images of the far and more recent past. And he couldn't help imagining a worse future. He opened his mouth and said a single word, "Why..."
Malachy was confused, he had no where to turn. Or at least none that he saw right off hand. He wanted to blast Shadow in to a million pieces. And he wanted Morgan to see the path she was running down. It wasn't so much that her chosen path ran away from him but it ran into Shadow's path and it was insulting to think she would go that low. Was it because of him that she Foresaw yet refused to avoid this mistake. Was she trying to get back at him for screwing up. He didn't know and it seemed that he was alone in this struggle.
He felt Mikey's comforting hand on his shoulder. He had treated her like crap too. Yeah he was only messing with her. But then was than not worse. He had done with the intention of seeing her get angry. He looked down at her. Did she really understand even so, "Why do you care? Not like I've been right with you." did he really deserve pity? "And I'm sorry for that." He apologized. Not that it mattered.
He nodded to her apology. He rubbed his nose at the memory. "Easier to mend a broken nose than a broken heart." CHEEZY! That was so lame he could have sworn he saw Sning roll his eyes, and those gems where fixed in place. Still he meant it.
As hard as it was to listen to he couldn't understand what she meant when she talked about Morgan making her own mistakes. Morgan was a Ravenclaw and the house prefect no less. She wasn't stupid she just refused to see the facts until she proved them. Some Slytherin's may seem cowardly, but that is because they are cunning they use such fore site of fact to avoid coming problems before it's too late. He wished he could make Morgan see what she was in for but that was useless.
Morgan was going to be hurt there was no denying that for the Slytherin. He just didn't want to have to see it he wanted to avoid it. When her heart was broken he didn't want to have to sit there piecing it back together again. "Thanks for the concern, but I don't know if I can stand ot see my friend make such mistakes out of arrogant, stubborn, ignorance."
Mikey was right, Hold on was he really thinking that? Well it was true. He wasn't going to change her mind for him or anyone. Malachy wondered if he had played a part in making her that way. She has certainly been more conservative before she fell for her first Slytherin, and his snake. Don't get any nasty idea's we're talking about Sning.
And what was Mikey trying to do anyway. She didn't seem the type to feel sorry for anyone. He watched her as she attempted to get warmer. He looked over and the door was closed.but it was still a little chilly, sort of. His attention to the temperature seemed to pull his attention out of his dark thoughts enough to reflect on his own actions. He was acting like Shadow, sulking in a pit of self loathing and pity for his situation. There was more to life than Morgan, and if she was going to ruin her life it wasn't his fault.
He looked at Mikey with a sly smile. "Well at least you don't have to clean up after a Snake, or feed it all that often. You just have to stroke it every once and a while." Yeah he was throwing an innuendo in there he wondered if she would catch it or if she did would she be offended.
She played the game better than he had expected. was he on the right track, right track to what? He smiled, "A mess? It all depends where you let them roam." He said with a sly smirk as he gazed into her deep brown eyes. What he was doing he didn't know. Was he even in his right mind after what just happened out side.
No he wasn't... He moved closer to her not realizing that they where already quite close, "And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take long for a lioness to succumb to the coils of a big enough serpent." It was then that he realized how close they where. and how close to the same size they really where. He felt his muscles tensing but then he felt Sning squeeze his finger twice. No hugging might not be a good idea. She'd have to start it if there was going to be any contact.
No, he wasn't thinking those things. Not exactly. He was weighing his chances. He was being a bit forward, but he wasn't trying. To get very far hue was just seeing how far he could get and he wasn't exactly expecting to get very far with Mikey. He had gotten much father than he had thought she was pressing up against him. Was she seriously coming on to him, or was she just teasing him into a trap?
He decided to play along. He backed away a little She'd have to come to him if she really wanted him. "Actually I do have a pet python, not sure where he is but I do own one. Maybe you can meet him some time." He said with a grin. "Though one look at you and he'' turn and go back into the pipes." Yes he had just insulted her. Called her ugly but if she had even half a brain she would be able to tell he didn't think she was ugly. It's not like telling her that she was pretty would work.
She had no clue how much he HATED the Slytherin house. He had adapted but he still didn't prefer Slytherin. Most Slytherin's are deceitfully even to their own friends. They are cunning, and most envy power. Malachy had some of those qualities but he used them in ways most Slytherins saw as weak. He could be very deceitful when he needed to be and his wit was nearly endless. Power however... He had only witness one form of power he envied, but he doubted he'd ever get to learn the art.
He smiled at her comments about women being gentle and how he was probably afraid of them. No he wasn't, and it wasn't like she was any better around boys. Then for some reason he wondered if she had ever even had a boyfriend. I'm not sure about the python, but I do know what I like. Have you ever even tried being close to someone of the opposite sex? You know, not all guys are dirty minded." He wasn't saying that he was one of the clean minded men, but he wasn't perverted all the time.
An awkward silence seemed to fill the room. He had gotten pretty far without intending to. He was flirting with her. He wondered if she was open to the thought of going out with him. But he questioned that notion, Was he thinking that because he wanted to get back at Shadow and Morgan, or did he really like Mikey? Well he didn't know if he liked Mikey in that way. But she wasn't unattractive, She didn't really have anyone else and they seemed to share a few of the same ethics, even if they did get off on the wrong foot.
He decided, he would ask her out... but how without sounding like an idiot. "You know," He just knew he was turning red, and he was having a hard time not mumbling but he forced himself to speak, "If your not seeing anyone... Would you like... I don't know... go out with me some time... maybe?" As soon as the word where out of his mouth he wanted to unsay them What sounded like a good idea at first sounded really bad now, as if he thought jumping off a broom at 50 feet would be fun and then as soon as the broom was out of reach her realized that the ground was really hard.
It seemed the ground was a lot soft than he thought. No actually it seemed that Mikey had saved him from a nasty landing. He noticed he had stopped breathing and decided that it was probably a good idea to restart that process of getting air into his lungs. Breathing a sigh of relief he smiled and said. "Sometime this weekend maybe; Any place you'd like to hang out?"
Malachy chuckled and nodded. "Yeah I don't think Shadow know how to avoid those buttons." He looked around the great entry way. "This is where me and him first met face to face. I was greeted by a Gryffindor named Selene, who I later found I had a distant relation to, and he seemed to think he could dictate who my friends where or where not. I told him off he got mad we dueled and I took his wand. What sucks is he turned out to be right about the Gryffindore. She turned on me, and tried to kill me a few months later."
He smiled and looked down at the silver snake on his finger. That snake was the reason he had survived both of those duels. "He still shouldn't have tried to tell me what to do. Hell I even gave him money for a new wand because I felt bad, fat load that did." He shook his head he needed to stop thinking about shadow before he made his way back out side to beat him up some more.
"I think you've met Sning once, but that was when you where... less inclined to care." He said, changing the subject. He held out his hand and Sning slithered into his open palm.
Sning looked at Mikey an the kitten through his emerald eyes. The tiniest forked tongue flicked out tasting the air and taking in the scents around him. His master was definitely having his fair share of problems with the opposite love tunnel spelunking. First he finds that Dovie already had a lover and that he had been moving in on something he didn't even know was going, on and then he catches Shadow and Morgan kissing, and only minutes later he's asking out a girl who a day before would have beaten him bloody for the sheer thought of something so forward. Humans, a very confusing species indeed.
Malachy watched Sning carefully not sure what he or the curious kitten would do upon seeing each other. Seeing the curious expressions of both felines he decided to explain, "Sning is a golem, and he's been in my family for quite a while. He's quite smart, and has actually won me at least three duels." Then he smiled, "And who is the kitty?"

"Well, as far as I've been able to get from Sning. He was created in ancient Egypt about the time of Alexander the Great. He was created by an ancestor of mine. I have yet to learn much about this ancestor of mine. Eventually I intend to find out what magic he used to make this little Golem." Malchy explained. He already had suspicions on how it was done. It had something to do with taking a soul out of one body and transferring that soul into an in animate object.Malachy was a medium so he had the predisposition for the magic, but he knew next to nothing about how to begin using such potentially fatal spells.
"I still have a long way to go in that department though. You have yet to introduce me to the furball that's climbing all over you."
Malachy reach out the hand holding Sning, who quickly found his finger again, gently scratched the kitten behind his ear. "He's definitely cute" He commented. the room seemed to fill with an awkward silence and the entrance hall was cold. Why they where still standing here he wasn't quite sure. "Do you want to find a warmer place than this to chat?" He asked not sure what else to say it seemed that their well of topics had run dry for the moment.
He smiled, I dunno the hall way would be warmer than this is." He said, "We could go to the library where it;'s quiet, and it still pretty early they are probably still serving breakfast. and since it's the holidays we're allowed to sit where ever we want. He grabbed her wrist with on hand as if to walk with her holding and but before he could take a step up the stairs he felt Sning give a squeeze and since the hand holding on to Mikey was the one with Sning she probably felt the movement as well. He looked down and saw snings head poked out and pointing right at the arched ceiling above them.
He looked up and his eyes widened. There where a lot of odd and spontaneous things that happened in the magical world,but he had never witnessed anything like this. Above them a sprig of mistletoe was growing out of a crack in the ceiling. It just started growing out of nothing and hung above them an odd omen or was it a blessing. He looked back down at Mikey unsure of what to do. He smiled unsure. "Well?"
Damn him him being a Slytherin. He had tried rather hard to deny that he belonged in the house. But here he was and he proved himself wrong once again. No the mistletoe wasn't his fault but what happened next was. She was about to kiss him on the cheek but she stumbled and he turned to catch her and her lips instead of hitting their mark pressed against his. Now he could have pulled away from the mistake, but no he didn't he actually kissed back. Nothing special with the kiss no tongue or any thing intrusive he just let himself kiss back.
He pulled his lips from her and noticed he had caught her around the waist. "Sorry." He said awkwardly. and ne was only half sorry.
