Faith dumped her bag on the stone bench and sat down beside it. She sighed slightly and reached into her bag for her book. Taking it out, she shook back her hair and glanced around. The courtyard was deserted. It was around eight o’clock at night and was a crisp, cold evening. Most had retreated to their common rooms for warmth but Faith, uncharacteristically, had come in search of some peace and quiet.
She opened her book to the right page, marked by a crumpled piece of parchment and began to read. There was no sound except for the trickling of the fountain infront of her and a the rustling of leaves on the ground, as they were blown by the slight breeze. She smiled to herself and pulled her cloak tightly around her arms to keep her warm.
Fifteen minutes on and she was nearing the end of a chapter. It was getting much darker, the only real light was coming from the window of the great hall. Just then, she heard the sound of footsteps and glanced her pale blue eyes away from the page and to the person coming down the steps…<br>

*Pyro stormed out of the archway that led to his common room..he slumped against the wall and grabed his head*
"My Gosh! that place is a constent Headache!"
*Pyro swore that if he had had to spend one more minuet in that room with those imbocils running around and yelling he was gonna start killing...He needed to talk a walk to calm himself so that he could go back there and get to his dorm.
He walked down along the corrider looking at the ground and not really watching where he was going...he looked up when a cold breeze came by and stung his cheek, he noticed that he was standing infront of the courtyard..the place was cold and he was only in his normal robes. He didnt mind the cold tho, he kind of prefered it, it gave a body more reason to keep moving.
he scanned the courtyard and notice a gryffindor girl who looked about as old as him....'Great' He thought ' standing out here in the cold and all i got is a gryffindor'...He walked down the steps onto the courtyard*
"Well well, what is a gryffindor doing out of her common room at this hour?"

Jordan wasn't up for sleeping, not at this time. She looked down from the window of her dormitory to the still night. Her eyes wandering over the snow covered grounds, she suddenly had an urge to go out there and play in it, or at least sit in it and think. She sighed and grabbed her cloak, not really needing anything else considering she hadn't changed for bed, and made her way out of the third year girls dormitories. She crossed the common room and left silently so she wouldn't attract attention from the other insomniacs.
Her footsteps echoed lightly behind her as she walked from one point of the castle to the other. The dim glowing of the candles in their holders were casting eerie if not more than eerie shadows on the wall and Jordan shuddered slightly as she continued to walk. Her mind was full of thoughts that she would much rather like to have out of it but, knew they weren't going away any time soon. She sighed as she neared the entrance to the courtyard. Debating with herself to actually go out into the freezing cold. She was about to turn back when a voice made her stay.
It was a Slytherin, Jordan could depict that by the boy's voice and how he spoke to the other person in the courtyard, who seemed to be a Gryffindor. Jordan tilted her head as she listened on. When the boy asked what the other person was doing out of her, so it was a she, common room at this hour, Jordan didn't want to be silent any longer. She stepped into the entry way and leaned against the door frame, her brown hair flying in her face from the sudden wind.
"I really don't see how that is any of your business...do random people come up to you ask what you are doing out here?" Jordan asked with a small smile of amusement on her face. She shook her head and tucked some hair behind her ear before stepping completely out into the courtyard. She crossed her arms and walked over to the Gryffindor girl, sat down beside her and looked at the book. Wondering what she had been reading, but didn't ask. Instead she looked up at the Slytherin with an upraised eyebrow.

*Pyro jumped slightly as a new voice spoke...He looked around and soon spotted the girl who had steped out into view and sat down next to the gryffindor girl...He looked at her robes and identified her as a hufflepuff. 'great' he thought, 'a hufflepuff' pretty soon this place was just gonna fill up with other people from different houses. if there was anything Pyro hated more than the slytherin common's usuall batch of idiots, it was large groups of other house members.
He considered the new arrivals question. 'well well, kinda pushy there are we? this might be amuesing?'He looked over at her*
"I suppose its about as much my business as your question is any of your business."

"Tousche." Jordan said with a slight nod. Jordan stood up and ran her fingers through the water of the fountain, it was oddly warm but, that didn't faze Jordan..she was slowly going insane. She pulled her fingers out of the water and looked at the other two people.
"Out of all seriousness though, what are you guys doing out here? It's blistering cold..." She asked with a confused expression on her face. But before either of them could answer, she sat down again and started kicking snow. She was bored, and needed something to do, something to keep her occupied. And that rarely was easy to find.

*Pyro grinned. He watched her as she put her finger in the fountain. 'bet thats freezing'. He was starting to shiver slightly from the cold, but he didnt care. he sighed as she asked him a question*
"Felt like going for a walk, My common room is filled with nothing but dunderheads. had to get out before I started to maim people*
*He began to pace slightly so that he could get some blood flowing in his veins, he looked at her*
"And may i ask why your out here in the cold?"

Jordan shrugged, if she told him the real reason why she was out here that would mean explaining her past and that would mean going into the whole Katie thing and Jordan didn't want that. So she ran some words through her mind and looked up before responding.
"The voices in my head told me to." She laughed lightly and shook her head before grabbing a handful of snow and blowing it off her hand, making it fall and swirl in the night wind. Jordan looked up again and thought of another reason why as to the reason she would be out here.
"It's snowing. I like the snow, and the cold. Compared to the warmth of my dorm and the crackling of the fire." She settled on a sane answer and ground her teeth, making a small noise. She then stopped and looked up into the darkening sky.

*Pyro nearly fell over at her response*
"um....voices?"
*he watched her for a moment and than heard her other reason and winced..She prefered the cold? Oh great, he had something in common with a hufflepuff...all of a sudden the cold didnt seem so enjoyable to him...than he nodded*
"aye, I have to agree with you, the cold is much better...the cold trully tests a persons strength"

Jordan laughed as she watched him stumble. She couldn't help it. It was amusing. She touched her temple and tapped her index finger against it, while nodding.
"Yes, voices. You know the kind that tell you to push people? Ridicule them, scream at them, taunt them," by now she was pacing and ticking things off on her fingers," you know, those sorts of voices." She replied with a smile. She tucked some hair behind her ear and looked up at him. When he said he agreed with her, she stopped pacing and looked at him intensely.
"Exactly. I'm sorry-but, did we just agree on something? Or...was that my imagination? Because, Lord knows the voices play tricks on me." Jordan tilted her head and looked even more confused.

*Pyro shook his head in exasperation..'well this proofs it, people from other houses are crazy and you should avoid them at all costs..he noded at her*
"Yes im afraid we did agree on something, as much as i hate to say it, we did"

Jordan shook her head and looked at the fountain once more. Her eyes nearly boring into the concrete work. The water just flowed freely, no care at all. She wondered what it was like to have no worries, just to be free of hard times. She sighed knowing she would never know.
"Don't go thinking I'm insane. I'm not there yet." Jordan told him after she saw him shake his head out of the corner of her eyes. She turned to face him, crossed her arms, and hunched up her shoulders as she usually did when she was getting cold or anxious.
"You know what's stereotypical? Everything about this school! Who says Hufflepuffs have to be sweet and loyal all the time? And who says Ravenclaws all have to be smart? Who says all Gryffindors are brave? And who made up the rule that Slytherins had to be mean and nasty to everyone? It's like we're living in some whacked out place that I can't even begin to imagine!" Jordan practically yelled. She looked at the ground after wards, feeling quite foolish for her little outburst like that.

*Pyro stoped pasing and thought for a moment, she did have a point, he had seen plenty of gryffindors, hufflepuffs, and ravenclaws who did not fit their respected description....he looked at her and raised an eyebrow*
"well who ever said that slytherins had to be mean and nasty, from what i heard from the sorting hat it said we are cunning folk who do anything to win? nothing about mean and nasty in that description"
*He began to shiver again so he started to pace again*

Jordan tilted her head.
"Tousche...again. But, what I meant is exactly that! You Slytherins, will do anything to win...including homicide. I don't know what you last heard, but homicide is definitily under the mean and nasty categories. You can't just skim the surface of a good book, you actually had to read in depth into it. Understand? You can't just listen what the Sorting Hat was saying, you have to go deeper into what it means." She said after a moment of deep thought. She sighed and shrugged.

*Pyro chuckled and grinned*
"now now, You give us to much credit. us slytherins would only commit homicide If we could get away with it.
*he looked up at the sky*
"and besides, would it be mean and nasty if we killed a raging phsyco who was killing people?"

"Must give credit to where it's due." Jordan simply replied as she took off her cloak and set it on the bench. She was much warmer now, and if she got to hot she would overheat. So she took her cloak off and crossed her arms to keep the body heat within her.Then she pondered his question, and nodded.
"Depends, are you the raging psycho who is killing people? Or is it someone entirely different?" She asked in response to his question. Her brown eyes watched as stars started to appear in the dark sky, and she suddenly wished she had her sketchbook.

*he stoped pacing and thought it over for a while, running scenerios in his head, smilling during particularly fun ones.*
"I suppose it will be someone else, ill be the one to kill the ragin phsyco, did i just perform something mean and nasty?"

Jordan sighed as she thought this over. She sat down and put her cloak on her lap, before raising her eyes to meet his.
"Depends, again. Did you enjoy it? Or do you feel immensely guilty afterwards?" Jordan asked. This was a touchey subject, considering she had been there. Killing a psycho. And enjoying doing so. She remember it clearly. She remembered hitting him, and she remembered his blood on her hands and the lamp on the floor. She remembered smiling. She remembered all of it.

*He thought it over again and than grinned*
"well, that would depend on if i get a reward, if i dont get one, than I guess ill feel guilty for kiling someone and getting nothing in return, but if i got something than i guess I would enjoy it"
*he narrowed his eyes and looked at her*
"why? I thinks its kinda wierd for someone to ask quiestions like that"

Post by JordanCortes on Jan 23, 2005 7:13:33 GMT
Jordan shook her head no, "No reward. Just protecting someone you love." She told him after a moment. Then he asked why and she immediately looked up at him. Her eyes slightly widened. She sighed and shook her head.
"Let's just say, I've been down that road." Jordan whispered lightly. She then looked to her right, and a gust of wind blew her hair back. Jordan looked down and snapped a rubber band that was around her wrist.

*He looked at her, his eyes becoming serious*
"Youve been down that road? youve killed someone?"
