"Hi, I'm Conner Smith ...I've seen your around the common room." He stopped for a moment but shortly continued, "Aren't you her daughter." He pointed his bony finger towards a hovering portrait over the door, scripted below was the words Headmistress

Aria smiled sincerely now. "Thank you..." She said quietly, hugging her back and looking incredibly grateful. She wasn't sure why, but she trusted and believed Beth. She nodded and looked from her to the others. They were like a family. Not even her mother or father would visit her if she was hurt, but here were the person that actually cared about her. Here were the people who could ask her repeatedly if she was okay...
She turned her head, hiding the fresh tears that glistened on her cheeks. She felt stupid. She hadn't cried in years....After so long without emotions, they all seemed to flood out of her like a dam that was breaking. Inside that's what it felt like...Years of logs building higher and higher, hiding her away from others was suddenly being brought down, by a force called friendship. She hid her face from them.

Beth smiled at Conner and looked up at the portrait over the door. "Yes actually i am " she said as she turned her attention to the doors that where opening . She smiled when she saw who was coming through them . "Speaking of the devil " she said laughing cause at that moment her mother , the headmistress walked through the doors and headed towards them.

He had awoken extra early for a full day of potion brewing, mending broken flasks and vases filled with all sorts of glittering potions. Flicking his wand he quickly mended, cleaned, or else organized everything neatly in his office. Holding his wand aloft he flicked the wand towards the door and it opened, walking through he gave another slight flick and it shut it self. He took no time making himself noticed down in the dungeons; he would make an attack less dungeon one of his top priorities.
“Excuse me, and what need would a wand be in the halls today.” He snapped at a third year whom was dancing wildly around with her wand raised in the air, letting little golden sparks fling themselves around brilliantly missing each of the nearby students.
“Sorry professor …” The girl stuffed her wand back in her pocket and slithered away from the scene
He made fast pace through the castle and found himself outside the door of the Hospital Wing, should he knock, certainly not he was after all a professor. “How are they…”
His voice left little concern lingering in the room and his odor certainly gave some of the ill a turned nose, he made no note of either Aria or Ace but made sure he asked the nurse promptly if they were mending well.

Professor Andolini brought it upon himself to see how the injured students were doing. After all, it was his student that caused all of the damage. If she wasn't going to apologize, which he was quite she wouldn't do, he was going to do it himself. As he walked down the corridor he saw a scared third year girl dart past him. That was a bit unusual... He thought to himself as he glanced over his shoulder to see the girl disappear out of sight. He shook his head and continued on. When he reached his destination he heard a sort of snarl of a voice from behind the door, which was very familar. Obviously he wasn't the only one checking up on the students.
Professor Andolini stepped inside and joined Sicoft. He peered at the students, and the many surrounding the beds.
"Who would have thought injury brings popularity." He chuckled. "If I would have known that I would have more friends, and broken bones."

Headmistress Lilac walked through the doors leading into the Hospital wing. She smiled at everyone in the room but a troubled expression was upon her face. She walked over to where Ace's bed was and she stared down at him for only a second before she walked over to Aria and looked down at her as well. Professor Lilac shook her head and walked over to the two professors and the nurse.
"I would like to know exactly what has gone on in my school while Ive been away ? " she said a hint of anger in her voice which was unusual for her.
"There better be a good explanation for why two of my students where injured by another student without any of my teachers even outside keeping an eye on things. " Her temper went down a notch when she remembered that students where in the room.
"Just please explain to me what happened " she said the same pained expression on her face. Her whole life was these students and even one of them getting hurt worried her but two getting injured that was unacceptable

Professor Andolini stepped back from her, unsure what was soon to come. It was true that it should have been their responsbility, but there was nothing either of them could have done.
"We weren't aware of the matter until after it was too late. By the time we reached the courtyard, the conflict had resolved and these two students were extremely injured...I arranged the punishment for the attacker shortly afterwards. I assure you, we would have contacted you, if we knew where you were..." He looked down, hoping that his excuses would suffice.

"Headmistress, I do believe Professor Andolini can explain it better then I." He swayed himself from the nurse who went back busily mending the other ill students, had it not been for his self control and utmost respect for Lena Lilac he would’ve had another outburst “Or perhaps one of the students, Headmistress.” He slithered himself between her and gave a glance towards Aria, but again didn’t look towards Ace

Aria gasped slightly as she looked up to see her favorite professor. She quickly wiped her tears, not wanting to look pathetic or weak in front of him. "Professor LeStrange, I can explain what happened." She said, sounding confident and strong, as if in his classroom. She wanted to help and she knew the Head of Slytherin wouldn't let her voice go unheard. At least, as long as she wore a serpent crest on her robes.

Professor Lilac nodded then looked back over her shoulder at the students. " It still does not explain to me what happened here gentlemen. But i see that neither of you have a very good excuse so i will ask my students because obviously THEY were outside when it happened." she said trying to sound as calm as she could.
She walked back over to Aria's bed and smiled down at her. With a flick of her wand a chair came soaring to her and she sat down folding her hands in her lap. She smiled at her daughter who stood between Aria's bed and Ace's bed before she turned her attention back to Aria and began to speak.
"Aria my dear first of all how are you feeling ? Are you OK?" she asked sadness in her voice. " Second of all can you please explain to me what went on while i wasn't here and no teachers were around" she asked looking over her shoulder at the teachers who were just standing there. She was secretly very angry but through the years shed been able to hide that.

"Proceed, I'm sure our Headmistress would enjoy the actual telling." He announced quickly after she had blurted it out. he seemed a bit annoyed by her weakness

"Please don't blame them, Headmistress...." Aria pleaded, looking over at Professor LeStrange and Andolini. "The only fault is on Micira Blackfern.... She was the one that cursed us. I'm sure the professors had better things to do then sit around the courtyard waiting for a cruel girl to prance around cursing everything in sight. When they heard what happened, they came at once." She looked down at her hands, not wanting to make eye contact with her.
"Anyway, we're going to live. That's good enough for me...." She muttered.

Professor Lilac nodded and smiled " Thank you Aria i appreciate you telling me that. I am glad you all are still alive and you are all going to be OK but by no means is this acceptable in anyway." She said patting Aria's hands before she turned her attention back to the professors.
" Now Professor Andolini you said that you arrange punishment for Micira, exactly what did you make her punishment? because i would really like to know. I would also like to know if you talked to her and found out why she had attacked these students. Did you do that Professor?" she asked standing up, the chair went flying back to where it had come from.

"Of course we arranged it Headmistress, she will be down in my office Saturday night cleaning years worth of dust filled flasks and mending tattered books by hand." He quickly responded. je thought the punishment was more then suffice, infact it'd do her some good
"I as well, Headmistress docked off 30 points." He noted with a flick of his wand the number 30 appeared and vanished

Professor Lilac nodded then looked back over at the students. She really felt bad that this had happened and she wanted to curse her staff for not keeping an eye on the students.
"I hope you both feel better and i will be back up to check on you both myself real soon" she said smiling at them all. She looked back at the professors and shook her head. " Next time I'm away from this castle i want you ALL to pay closer attention to the Students, so that something like this NEVER happens again understand me" she said anger still bubbling up in her voice.
She turned back to the students and smiled as she walked towards the door and then left the room without another word.

Professor Andolini rubbed the back of his neck, and bounced awkwardly on his toes. He thought it best that he didn't bring up the fact that he tried talking to her about her motices but failed miseribly. Thankfully Sicoft spoke first. He had never been so grateful to hear his cold voice. Professor Andolini closed his eyes, hoping that he would explain the prior situation more properly than he could.
"I docked 20 points and took away her Quidditch privileges for a month." He added after Sicoft finished, hoping that she would be satisfied with what they both said. When he opened his eyes, she was gone. "Oh....Erm, well...." His cheeks flushed and looked at the ceiling. "If that's all, Professor LeStrange?" He nodded his farewell and left.

Aria shook her head, thinking how weird that was. "He's a strange one, isn't he..?" She said, scratching her head and a grin spreading acoss her face. "But did you hear what he said about Micira??" She said excitedly.
"She can't play Quidditch! She got what was coming to her. A detention with Professor LeStrange. That would be hell for any Gryffindor, but even worse if they hurt a Slytherin! Not to mention the students are going to give her, their own idea of punishment pretty soon. Ooh...this is going to be amusing." She rubbed her hands together anxiously.

Rani was getting nervous because more and more people kept coming into the wing and pushing her away form her injured friends. Just as she was about to answer Beth, the professors came in and started talking. At least Micira got what she deserved, he plan backfired. Rani was pleased at that. Rani pushed her way away from the crowd and stood on the other side of Aria's bed, where no one was. Rani let the voices around her blur away and began to think back to Micira's sudden kindness. Ace was Aria were probably right, Micira was trying to fool her. Still, Micira bringing Rani's books back was pretty unusual. ' That book! Maybe there's something that Micira put inside it , or any of my other books to trick me. ' Rani pulled out the Gryffindor book and held it at arms length, carefully flipping the pages. Nothing strange happened, even as she did the same to the rest of her books. Rani began to put her books back in her bag and stopped at Gryffindor book. 'Maybe something she read from this book made her have a change in heart..' Rani carefully opened the book and began to read it. Just a story with a silly poem in the back. Other then the age-old Slytherin/Gryffindor rivalry, nothing in this book could make Micira change. Or at least she thought. Maybe Micira was afraid of Aria, or maybe Professor Sicoft. Rani put the book back in her bag and and looked at Aria. If Micira was afraid of Aria, she had every right to be. Aria was furious and Rani was glad she was on her side.

In many ways, the introduction of ]Professor LeStrange, Professor Andolini, and the Headmistress was a distraction for Conner. This was the first time he had been in whisper distance of the Headmistress, and it was certainly something to marvel. Though somehow the somberness of the room filled with unrest, everyone so badly wanted to mention the absence of Professor Alexander Verto, Headmaster who had been missing for two months. It was by pure luck Professor LeStrange received his job, in many ways he was talented but not quite the level Professor Verto had been.
He saw Rani fidgeting with that book once more, something important had to lie in the book, it looked ancient. Professor LeStrange swooped through the conversation and left a few moments after Professor Andolini had, undoubtedly heading back to play with his chemistry set.

What did he have to say, he sat there hurt and in pain and found himself for once in his life speechless. Maybe he felt woozy, or the pain was too much but he found the company a bit of a bothersome now. “Not that I don’t appreciate all of you coming, and I’m sure Aria does, but can you leave.” He for once looked sincerely honest and grateful for their visit but he had enough of them “And Rani, keep that book handy I’ll check it when my hands heal.” He motioned to his hands and then nodded in the direction of the book
“Beth, go find Zachary and tell him he better catch the snitch or it’ll be my hands around his neck.” He had to laugh; he gave her a smile and gave a smile to Conner

Rani smiled at Ace. She knew that he and Aria probably still needed rest. " Hey Conner, we can go to the lake and hang out there for a while. What do you say?" Rani was looking forward to going outside since she woke up, the day was just perfect for walking around the grounds.
