Reading By The Fire (Pyro + Anyone)

[Mary Evans]

Mary rolled her eyes as Pyro began getting upset about her going through his bag. “You left with no explanation. You know I have gone through your stuff before. Plus even if you did expect me to do your homework I would have had to get it out wouldn’t I have? It all your fault I found it now tell me why you had it or you won’t be getting it back.” Mary said snappily to him before stashing the stuff where he couldn’t reach it and looking at him for an answer.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

*pyro stood up and looked at her*

"and I believe that stuff was at the bottom of my bag! my homework was at the top, so getting the homework would never have shown you that stuff. And besides, I dont have to explain myself to you. now do I?"

*He wondered why he wouldnt tell her, not like it was anything big, He liked to watch the gryffindor scarves burn, and some gryffindor first year had placed their wand down while they reached out for a book on a shelf, it was their own fault, he was teaching them a lesson about leaving stuff lying around*

[kris]

Kris grinned as Mary jumped on his back and sat down on the couch, as Mary dashed upstairs, while shouting after her: “How could I ever forget you? The little blond, who is always around?”<br>
Kris smirked, knowing that Mary wouldn’t get insulted and raised an eye-brow at Mary’s and Pyro’s argument. “You know, Gryffindor scars would make awful inter-decoration objects. Especially here,” Kris said with a sneer reaching over and picking up the scarf, looking at it inspectingly, “And it’s not even in good shape. It has holes in it.”<br>Kris shrugged throwing the scarf back to where it was carelessly.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

*Pyro narrowed his eyes and growled..He turned to kris*

"Like I would actually use one of those things for decoration. Thats an insult"

*Pyro pulled out his wand and pointed it at the scarve*

"Accio Scarve!"

*the scarve suddenly flew threw the air and into his hand*

[Redneck]

Jason Strife was walking around the halls after getting done with his studies. He had just left the library after he had done his potions homework. It was'nt all that hard, he had just found out that he was actualy very talented in potions, among other subjects. He walked down a flight of stairs and turned to go down the next flight, when out of nowhere he felt someone run straight into him, knocking him down and spilling the contents of his bag. glring he stood up and said " What the.. watch where your going, imbacile." He pulled out his wand and started to accio all of his parchment and books and put them back in his bag. He looked back at the person who had run into him and said " Watch whrere your going, otherwise next time you might fall down the stairs." He took off without a second glance at the other kid and left.

He rached the first floor and headed for the dungeons. He walked down the steps and waled down a corridor until he reached the entrance to the Slytherin common room. Saying the password, he entered and saw that he was'nt the only one in there. He saw four silhouettes and the bodies to go with 'em. He walked over to the small group and said " Hello to all. I was wondering if I might join in your conversation?'' in a questioning voice.

[Mary Evans]

Pyro continued flipping about her going threw his bag and Mary simply tuned him out. She lay back down and began to sing softly “My hopes are so high, that your kiss might kill me. So won't you kill me, so I die happy. My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury, or wear as jewellery, which ever you prefer…” as Kris and Pyro went on about the scarf. Mary had quite frankly lost interest and her mind was now floating somewhere off in space. She looked over at Pyro as she felt the scarf slip out from under her. Just then the door opened and someone walked in. Upon noticing who it was Mary looked up with a goofy little grin, which almost instantly turned into a blush as she sunk further into the chair. She quickly whipped it all off her face as he approached though and she shoved all indecision aside.

He asked if he could join them and she sat up further in her chair so she could be more easily seen. “Hey handsome of course you may.” She said with a flirtatious grin she reached up, grabbed his hand and pulled him down in the chair with her. Hand still grasping Jason’s Mary entwined their fingers and rested her head on his shoulder; a slight shade of pink crept up her cheeks. “So how has your day been?” she asked him forgetting the others were around.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

*Pyro caught the scarve in his hand...He looked over at mary and noticed she wasnt even paying attention to him anymore. 'What is with her?' He thought ' She goes through my bag, confronts me with stuff, and than doesnt even care'

He looked over at the new boy walking in. 'great, more poeple'. the boy looked to be about his age. He opened his mouth to say something to the boy but mary beat him to the punch..“Hey handsome of course you may.” She said..Pyros words caught in his throat. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "man oh man. How many guys does she play this game with?'

Pyro shruged and sat down on the char...he suddenly noticed the scarve in his hand...without a second thought he flicked it into the fire...He grinned to himself.'well, at the next gryffindor match a fan will be really frantic'..He suddenly remembered the wand...he turned towards mary*

"So. Can I have the wand back?"

[kris]

Kris just shrugged, as Pyro seemed to snap at him. He didn’t really care about the scarf anyway.
Kris smirked widely, as some new guy approached them and Mary pulled him to sit next to her, with the words “Hey handsome, of course you may”. Mary liked to flirt and was rather good to it. Kris didn’t mind at all, as Mary was a bit like a younger sister to him. He would certainly let Mary have her fun, but he would kick the guys teeth in, if he would hurt Mary.

“Well, I won’t comment about the handsome part, but it’s hardly a private part,” Kris drawled with mirth shining in his eyes as he raised an eye-brow towards Mary, sending a calculating glance to the new-comer, to remember his face…. Just in case he would have to pick up some big-brother duties.

He watched as the Gryffindor scarf burned as Pyro threw it in the fire and glanced at Mary at the Pyro’s question. The glance was a bit warning – he wouldn’t’ say anything yet, but Kris knew the look had been enough to Mary. He wouldn’t interrupt, but he wouldn’t let the wand to be destroyed and in the end he would make sure it reached it’s rightful owner. Wands were connected tightly with their owners and sometimes no other wand could ever replace the broken one.

[Redneck]

Looking down as Mary said hey handsome of course you can, he felt himself being tugged down into the chair with her. Blushing slightly, he felt her intertwine her fingers with his and rest her head on his shoulder. Blushing a little more now, he heard her ask how his day was. He replied saying " Well lets see I almost knocked a kid down the stairs, had an excellent potions class and just sat down with a pretty girl in the common room." Blushing, but grinning he said " And hows your day been?" in a inquiring voice.

[Mary Evans]

Focusing on the fire Mary willed herself not to blush. She was a flirt and made a joke about things more serious than holding hands so what made this so different? ‘Because its Jason’ her mind responded and she mentally rolled her eyes at herself. She giggled as he told her about his day; not that it was funny but she couldn’t help it. Well… maybe pushing kids down stairs is funny, but that’s definitely not why she was giggling. Her blush returned tenfold as he mentioned now sitting with a pretty girl in the common room.

“Well… my day has been just lovely. Morning was typical, classes went well, afternoon was fine, and then here I am; ergo everything’s great.” Mary said with a flirtatious grin. Just then she realised Pyro had asked her about the wand while Jason had been speaking. She had heard and she had noticed Kris’ look although she had been too preoccupied to pay attention at first. She knew Kris well enough to know he wouldn’t stand for anything happening to the wand; but he knew her well enough to know he did not have to worry.

She got up and casually brought the wand back to her dorm room. “Now; you tell me where you got it from and what you are planning on doing with it and I will consider giving it back.” She said to Pyro with a smirk while sitting back down in the chair with Jason grasping his hand once again.

[kris]

Kris sent a smile and a nod to Mary, as she returned form taking the wand to her dormitory, before turning his eyes to Jason and smirking lightly, moving into the big-brother mode. Even though Mary wasn’t exactly related to him, for Kris she still seemed as a little sister.

“So, as you have already joined us, would you mind introducing yourself to the people, who aren’t your year, like me and Jersey here?” Kris addressed Jason with a raise of his eye-brow, “Or are we all supposed to call you ‘handsome’, like Mary does? I wouldn't really fancy that nor holding your hand.” Kris nodded towards Mary's and Jason's linked hands with a small smirk.
Kris smirked waiting for the younger boys answer, as he moved himself to a more comfortable position, reaching his long out and crossing them at the ankles.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

*Pyro watched Mary take the wand to her dorm with narrowed eyes. She came back and linked hands with the newcomer once again. Frowning pyro stood looking at them for a moment. He sat down with a "Hmpf".

"I mean really, why do you have to know what im doing with the wand. Not like its your business"

*He turned and looked into the fire at the remains of the gryffindor scarve*

[Redneck]

Jason grinned as Mary told him about her day and he said " Sounds good." , then she grabbed his hand and he could'nt help but blush. Just then he heard the other guy and said " I'd prefer you not to call me handsome, but I do'nt mind if Mary does though. Anyways, I'm Jason Strife Jr., and you are?" He then looked back at Mary as he waited for the older boys answer and said " Nice friends you have here, but that one over there seems as though he needs to take anger mangement or something." indicating Pyro, but then again he knew that most of his fellow Slytherins were a bit on the tempermental side.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

Pyro stared into the fire. Watching the dance of the flames as they flickered from side to side started to calm him down. He barely listened to the background noises. Than One of the sentance sprang to the front of his mind. "That one over there seems to need some anger managment or something". pyro didnt need to look at him to know he had ment him. Pyro slowly turned in the seat to face him.. He arched an eyebrow at him.

"talking..about me?"

*He added a fake grin to the end of that sentance*

[Mary Evans]

Mary looked down blushing something awful as Kris asked for Jason’s name and commented on her calling him handsome and holding his hand. She looked up at Jason and giggled as he said he would rather not be called that and grinned a goofy little schoolgirl grin as he said she could though.

“Yes” she said to Pyro simply when he asked if she had to know why he had the wand. As she was listening to Pyro Jason had been asking Kris for his name. “Oh don’t mind Krissy Bear he’s just a little grumpy; missed his nap today.” She said to Jason sending a flirtatious grin at Kris.

As Jason commented on her choice of friends Mary simply rolled her eyes. “Sad thing is, I think he’s in them. Yes we talking about you. If you have a problem with that then you can tell me why you have that wand, after that you don’t have to pay attention to us any longer.” She then stuck out her tongue at Pyro and rested her head once again on Jason’s shoulder. “Don’t worry – or do maybe. They are like this all the time.” She whispered in his ear so that only he could hear.

[kris]

“Strife,” Kris muttered half-closing his eyes, trying to remember from where the name came from as familiar, “Angel Strife your mother, by any chance? I think I have seen her in France at the Ministry. International Cooperation I think.” Kris shrugged – Meredith and Julien, who were very influential in the ministry often gave Kris and Dana little things to handle like giving some wizards or witches from other countries a tour or helping out somewhere. Nobody minded though, as Dana an Kris could do a good job and Julien would likely be the next Minister of Magic in France.
“And a Strife works with dragons. A girl – spend a month in a camp where someone by that named worked about 2 – almost 3 years back.”<br>
Kris answered to Mary’s smile, but didn’t comment on her remark, instead just introducing himself to Jason: “Kris Graas.”<br>Kris cocked his head watching Mary curiously, as she leaned her head on Jason’s shoulder, before drawling slowly: “Mary, here is somewhat of a little sister though. So as a kind of an older brother I guess it would be only fair to give you a fair warning. If you hurt her, I’ll hurt you. And don’t get me wrong – it’s not a threat,” Kris waited until he caught Jason’s eyes before continuing calmly, “It’s a promise.”<br>
Kris smirked towards Mary, going along with her light teasing tone: “Well, what can I say? You weren’t here to read me a story, so I could get to sleep. So if I’m grumpy, then you can blame it on yourself.”<br>

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

*Pyro threw his hands up in frustration and sighed*

"Oh! my god!! you really wanna know! some stupid first year decided to leave it stranded on a table, I decided to teach them a lesson in proper wand care"

*He than narrowed his eyes at her*

"and I do not need anger management, just need to stop hanging around bozos"

*He sat down and looked at the fire..listening to them in the background...he rolled his eyes as kris gave his 'big brother' speech*

[Mary Evans]

Mary sat up slightly taken back by Pyro’s outburst. She had been expecting something like this to happen since they meet in August and was quite frankly surprised it was this long in the coming. None the less she was slightly startled when he just started screaming over something this small. A self-satisfied soon replaced the look of shock though as she watched his miniature explosion and mentioned that he hung out with bozos. “I swear we had a discussion before where you claimed that you spend all your time alone so… I guess you can’t change your company so anger management classes may be the best option.” Mary said to him good-naturedly with an innocent smile on her face.

As she was speaking she half listened as Kris gave Jason a big brother speech. She smiled while blushing a deep shade of crimson; she appreciated the sentiment but really did not want him saying that to the guy she had a crush on. After his little speech though he turned back into the Krissy Bear she knew and loved as he chastised her for not being around to read him a story. “You need to learn to be a big boy Krissy Boo and press the play button all on your own. I'm not going to be there forever you know.” She said in a mock motherly tone to her “older brother”.

((OOC - Pyro dunno if you got my request so I will put it here as well. If you still feel the need to run out please please please don't go to far so Mary can come get you ;D))

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

If steam could emit from the human body, than pyro's nostrils and ears would be steaming at this precise moment. his eyes narrowed to slights on his face. His fist clenched so tightly at his sides the knuckles turned white. His entire body trembled with rage.

"yea, well I remember that when I used to be alone. Life was a lot less stressfull!"

*letting out a long and frustrated growl he sat back down on the couch, he turned his back on mary and her little lovebuddy and crossed his arms and put his feet up and looked into the fire. Ignoring anything that happened around him*

[Redneck]

Jason looked at Pyro as he turned from the fire. Well he was talking about him, so he thought that he might as well tell him. " Yeah," said Jason, " I'm talking 'bout you, but you really do act a lot like my cousin, he's a real hot head." It was true, his cousin, JUstin Lionheart, was always one with a hot temper, but then again ever since this summer he had cleaned up his act, just a little bit.

He heard Mary talking about the older boy, and cocked an eyebrow at the name "Krissy bear". He stiffled a laugh at the name and tried to make it sound like a cough. He listened to what she had to say about Pyro and he remembered something that Pyro had said earlier. He had a quizzical look on his face as he said to Pyro, " Wait a second, you stole a wand? Why?". There was silence for just a second, and then Mary whispered in his ear that he should'nt worry, that they always acted like this. If this was true, then his meetings with this group would be quite lively.

Suddenly the older boy spoke again and asked if Angel Strife was his mother. " Yeah, she's my mom. You met her in France? Oh yeah I remember when she went there, I had to go with her." said Jason. Then heard the boy speak of his sister and he answered this with, " Yeah, that's my sis. She loves Magical Beasts." As the boy introduced himself as Kris, something stirred in Jason's memory. " Nice to meet you Kris, I just realised that I had heard your namer before. My sister said that you were pretty good in that camp thing." He heard what Kris had to say and he replied, " Do'nt worry, I wo'nt hurt anybody, espicially not Mary." He then sat there listening to what everyone else was saying.
