Jessica Locka walked across the wooden bridge to wards the tall tower. She came here every time she felt alone. She past a class which had just finished and kept her head high glaring at them all except for her fellow Slytherins. She got to the end of the bridge and entered the marvelous tower. The statue of Professor Aaron Ravenwood stood tall in the middle of the tower.
Jessica walk to the magical telescope and looked through to try and see anything strange. She looked for a while and couldn't see anything. "Oh, Jess your losing your touch!" she whispered to herself. She sat leaning against the statue and got out a piece of homework. Homework was one of Jessica's fears; the other spiders; and she hated doing it but when it was for Charms she would do it as she liked Charms and was quite good at it. She started to right and right and right. She didn't hear the upcoming footsteps to her as she was so tranced; that's what she hated most of all about homework; when she started she couldn't stop.
She placed the last full stop and packed everything away. Still not noticing the person she got up and looked over the wall at the far distance below. She leant back and sighed to herself. She then heard a creak behind her. She grabbed her wand; turned and shouted:

"EXPELLIARMUS!"
"Yow, jeesh girl!" The wild-haired slytherin jumped back, grabbing his newly-brought wand as it spun across the floor. Newly-brought; for after his first wand had been won by Malachy, Shadonious had given it to the Ravenclaw stuck in a coma.
Shadow growled, staring at the young girl as he slipped his wand back into his pocket. He'd only been in the tower to find the astronomy professor. Munro had two-faced the rebels and Shadow had come to take revenge.
"Gril, you're lucky I ain't allowed to do magic to attack people anymore," he snarled, dusting himself down and approaching her with curiousity. Shadow's blue eyes trailed over to the telescope. Fat lot of good that would be to him. After all he'd only attended two of his astronomy classes before being captured, and he wasn't intending on carrying on with that particular line of study. Sitting class under the watch of a traitor wasn't his idea of fun.

Jess smiled embarrassed and put her wand away. She looked away but then turned around so sh didn't look pathetic. She sometimes felt embarrassed and upset but she was good actress and could hide it well.
"Sorry erm .... what's your name?" she said.
She sat on the wall of the tower leaning on a wooden post. She grabbed her wand from her bag and started to twiddle with it. She looked at the boy and felt her stomach jump but she looked blushing. When she blushed it was easy to tell as her skin was very pale. She calmed herself down and controlled her emotions looking at the boy.
She twiddled with her purple fringe as she sat wondering why she had never seen the boy before; he could have been new or maybe just had a long Christmas holiday. Jess always stayed for the holidays as she had no-one to go home to. Her parents had been killed fighting for evil and then Jess had killed her Aunt as she was abusing her. Jess shook the memories away and thought of a few more questions.
"You new or long holiday? And what house you in 'coz if you're not in Slytherin I'm leaving!"

"Sorry erm .... what's your name?"
Well, the girl was a good actor, he would give her that - but even she couldn't hide the streak of crimson that had just passed over her cheeks. Shadow raised an eyebrow, grinning slightly but making no comment. "Name's Shadonious, but call me Shadow," he smirked.
"You new or long holiday? And what house you in 'coz if you're not in Slytherin I'm leaving!"
Eyeing the purple streaks in her hair, Shadow sat down on a desk looking at her in curiousity as she leant against the wall. "Long holiday? I guess you could say that... but no, I've been here since my fourth year," he replied quietly, not really feeling the need to mention anything about jail or the rebellion. He didn't know her. Smirking gently, he leant forwards, resting his head on his hand as he watched her.
"Now now, why would you consider leaving over my words? besides, i don't think i'd fit very well into any other house."

"Now now, why would you consider leaving over my words? besides, i don't think i'd fit very well into any other house."
"Well, if your Slytherin, as you've just said you are, there's no need to know why I would leave if your not in my house now is there!" Jess smiled at Shadow in a flurty way but then stopped herself as she realised what she was doing.
She dropped her wand into her bag and zipped her bag. Even though nobody knew it; the wand in her bag is just a fake but her real one was in her pocket. She always did that just in case anybbody good came along and tried to hurt her.
Shadow looked around her age but she was quite sure. He defiantly looked as if he had a past; how pale he was. But the main thing that caught her attention was the locket hanging the boy's neck. What did it mean? It reminded her of her bracelet. Her bracelet had a blue saphire in the middle and could hold anything she wished never mind how big or small; the bracelet would make the object smaller if need be and weightless so it didn't way. Jess went to open it to reveal what was inside but stopped when she realised the fellow Slytherin was still looking at her. She put her hand down and lifted the other pointing at his locket.

"Well, if your Slytherin, as you've just said you are, there's no need to know why I would leave if your not in my house now is there!"
Shadow was rather taken aback by the smile she shot him, but he tried to ignore it. He was already in a mass of relationships, in love with both a girl and a boy. He remained silent, watching as she replaced the wand into her bag and crossing his legs as he sat upon the table.
"What's that?"
Shadow's eyes widened slightly, his hand darting up to the chain around his neck. He was still very protective of the locket after his cousin stole it and searched it's contents. Malachy had found out everything about Shadow, about his past and his family and about who he was. And for that, the wild-haired teen had been in servitude to him until Malachy had seen sense and released his cousin from life as his slave. Shadonious looked away from the girl, "It's nothing. Nothing of your business..."

Jess dropped her jaw in annoyance. Somebody else had turned their head on her; that's just disrespectful! Even though she did it all the time the only reason was because she had hardly any friends. She brought her jaw back up and jumped from the ledge getting her wand from her pocket. She was bored she wanted to fly. She brought the wand up and swished shouting; "ACCIO FIREBOLT!" A broom soon flew into her hands. She mounted it and flew around the tower a few times but then got bored of that but she was being caring. She leaving Shadow to his thoughts. She did a few more loop de loops and then flew back into the tower. She saw that Shadow was still sitting and pulled the chair next to his out. She sat on it back to front with the back in front of her. She leant on it and eyed Shadow up and down. He was still thinking so she turned to her bracelet.
She tried very hard and let a tear fall onto the saphire which automatically opened the saphire revealing two rings; her parents wedding rings. She grabbed them and held them close letting a few more cold tears through remembering all the happy memories. She placed them back into the saphire and let one more tear fall on the saphire to seal it up.
She touched Shadow's hand in a friendly way.
"You look as if you've had a dark past; it seems like we have a little in common. I'm going to tell you something I haven't told anybody else before. It's kind of easier to open up to a stranger. When I was eleven my Aunt started to beat me and sexually abuse me. My parents couldn't do anything as they both died in a stupid battle against good and they died. I got so annoyed I turned and bashed her head in with a metal bar ten times and she lay there still. I have no where to go and none of family are alive anymore; they are all dead. So, I just want to know that I also have a dark past and if you want to tell anything about your past; or even maybe about that locket I'm all ears."

Raising his eyebrows as the girl suddenly shouted for her broom, Shadow was slightly relieved that her presence was gone for a minute or two. One; she had asked him questions about his locket, his most personal item and two; he couldn't fly a broomstick if he tried. Of course he had tried, but then Fuu had left him hanging by his hands as payback for his previous actions.
And then she was back. Shadow shifted in his seat slightly uncomfotable with her eyeing his body in such a way, not to mention touching his hand. Still, he listened without comment. She expected him to tell her about himself? Hell, he didn't even know her name yet. She killed someone... "I'm not telling you anything about my past, it's private. Same as my locket. But, yes, maybe we do have something in common... replace your aunt with my father, okay? 'Cept your aunt's dead - my father is still quite alive and abusive."

Jess let her jaw drop once again at the utter ignorance of the boy but smiled as he reminded her of herself. She pushed her jaw back up and felt sorry for the boy that he had to go back to his father every holiday; why didn't he just stay like she did. And the long holiday was probably because he was injured badly.
"Sorry...."
She took her hand away and looked at her feet for a while thinking about her Aunt's aggressive behavior towards her and how she had killed her. She shook her head and held out her hand.

The teen touched her hand breifly with his own but didn't hold the shake for long. Shadow jumped down from the table, walking a few paces away to lean against the wall. "It's alight, I don't really care much for him. He's still in Canada, but I recently heard that he was sending people to find me..."
He smiled slightly as he folded his arms across his chest. He tried to change the subject away from himself, getting the small feeling that this Jessica was intrested in him. Shadow ran a hand through his hair, thinking.

Jess shrugged her shoulders.
"Kind of, I've been a year now; I turned up on the day of my birthday. Next Thursday I would have been here for a whole year. How long you been here?"
Jess through the chair aside and started to make her broom her dance a little. She was obsessed with magic and loved to mess about with it but it sometimes got into trouble with it. She then stopped and wondered which question out of the two she would ask first. One was kind of personal and another just pure curiosity; well they both were but one more than the other. She decided on which to ask and dropped the broom and skipped to the wall holding Shadow up. She lent on it also and sat there. She then turned and asked her simple question.

"Two or three years, i forget," the teen answered with a shrug - watching the broom dance slightly. He slipped his hands into his pockets, moving away an inch or two as she leant against the wall besides him. He wasn't exactly a close and cuddly person, especially to new faces. Hell, he wouldn't even hug Toshiya and he was pretty much in a relationship with him.
Shadow nodded, "Yeah, Gwen. She's awsome, we get along great." They got along more than great considering what they had been up to. Despite the fact they had both being in jail, that was not the end of their pranks and closeness.

Jess smiled even though she was quite upset that he had a girlfriend. She looked at him and smiled.
"She sounds nice!"
Jess then thought about her second question and how to put it. It's not a question most people asked but Jess always liked to ask it when she met somebody new. She decided how to put it and asked him.
"Are you one of them or one of us; what I mean is are you good or you bad. That still doesn't sound right, let me thin. Erm................... Got it. Do you support Lord Voldie mah man and Salazar Slytherin in his younger days or Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore? That's better."
{No muse again; Oh, why that does indeed tickle my fancy!}

Walking up to the tower, Gwen had listened in on most of the conversation. But she dug straight for her wand the moment Jess asked if Shadow had a girlfriend and was glad when he answered truthfully. It seems that I need to keep a closer eye on this girl she thought as she walked up to the duo. "Hello," she said softly as she kissed Shadow's cheek. Looking over at Jess she raised an eyebrow before holding out her hand.
"I'm Gwen and you are?" she asked curiously as she kept her wand hand in her pocket. "And I would like to divert your own question toward you. Are you pro-ministry or are you against it?" she asked locking eyes with the fellow Slytherin.

{Okey Dokey}
Jess was taken aback by the newcomer. She saw she had her hand in her hand in pocket and realised that her wand was in there. She mimicked Gwen and placed her right hand in her right pocket which had her wand in.
I'm Gwen and you are?
"Jessica Locka; but most people call Jess."
She looked away as she kissed Shadow's cheek but then turned back returning the glare. She cocked her head and smiled.
"Against! Following in my parents footsteps; the ministry killed them why would I side with them?"
Jess moved her bracelet further up her arm not wanting Gwen to see it. She tightened the grip on her wand prepared in case Gwen jumped her. She looked at Shadow and smiled;
"She's nice; make sure you keep her!"
She looked back at Gwen and twiddled her hair sitting back into the chair ad spreading her legs. She smiled at Gwen and could see she was probably against the ministry but she still wanted to ask.
"What about you; against? You still haven't answered me either Shadow; you both against or is just me on my own?"
