Jordan jumped, and tapped her foot with nervousness. SHe bit her lip and held back what was coming. She breathed a moment and nodded.
"Yeah. I have. And I'm insane because of it. I'm not a normal Hufflepuff. I'm only human, I can't not fight for my sister. Her father hits her, I hit him. It's....right, right?" She looked up at him with a timid look in her eyes.

*Pyro looked at her for a moment than looked up at the sky*
"aye, you arent a natural"
*He fell silent for a moment*
" I suppose I can see where your comming from tho. Its a shame about your dad tho"

Jordan laughed.
"No, I'm not. I admit it. No, shame." She said after a moment. Then she slipped her cloak back on before saying, with disgust in her voice.
"No. He wasn't my dad. My dad left me when I was 3. He was Katie's. We adopted her, took her in from him." Jordan's hatred for the man resurfaced and she had to count to ten to calm her nerves down. Once she was done she sighed and shifted uncomfortably in her spot.

*Pyro nodded*
"ahh I see how that works. So you killed her old man, huh?"
*He lowerd his gaze back down at her*
"Now that is totally unlike a hufflepuff. So, how did it feel?"

She raised an eyebrow.
"Pretty good, until I realized I had killed a human being. Taken someone's life from them, and nearly killed Katie in the process as well." She answered with a sarcastic tone of voice.
"But, when I killed him, before all that guilt stuff came in, I was...happy I suppose, for lack of a better word." She added with a small but sad smile.

"you really are a Slytherin aren't ya? Cold blooded killers. Down to the core. Ah well. I suppose that's okay. At least you aren't attacking me like any other Slytherin out there." Jordan said with a small laugh and a kick of her foot against the snow.

*HE nodded*
"I suppose I fit the slytherin description, but im not a cold blooded. I wont kill for the heck of it, ill have a reason before i kill"

"Well, yeah. There is always a reason to kill. One; revenge. Two; because you're bored. And three; it's fun. Or so I'm told." She laughed again and twirled her hair around her index finger.
"I swear, I was told that. I have only killed one guy. Count them, one!" She added quickly.

*he said that last part with a smile, showing he was joking*

She pointed her finger at him,"Tsk tsk tsk," she said waving her finger back and forth,"that wasn't very nice. Then everyone in the world would be dead. No ones pretty."
She brushed her hair out of her face and smiled before kicking up more snow, it was becoming a habit.

Faith glanced at the person who had spoken to her.
A Slytherin. Typical.
Before she could open her mouth another person's voice interrupted the cold stillness.
It was feminine this time, and Faith could recognise it as Jordan Cortes, a Hupplepuff in the same year as her.
She decided to keep her mouth shut and let Jordan handle it instead. Slytherin's could have nasty tempers with anyone who stood up to them.
Faith smiled at Jordan's comment and gave her a grin as she sat down beside her on the bench.
She shook her head at the boy's retaliation. Another standard Slytherin comeback, quick and insulting.
Jordan wasn't much dettered.
"Toushce," She said, getting up and dipping a hand into the fountain. Faith noticed an odd stillness in her eyes. Thinking it nothing, though she was about to return an answer to Jordan's question but was beaten to it by the Slytherin.
Sighing, slighlty she picked up her bag, slipped her book inside and got up from the bench, that was now unoccupied.
She turned on her heel and started to walk out of the courtyard towards the grounds.
Before she could get very far she could here shouting from behind her. Faith wheeled round again, her hand tracing the usual path to her wand in her back pocket. She dropped it, when she saw that it was Jordan shouting out of annoyance and anger instead of an attack. Still, Faith though5t, have to be prepared, don't you?
Faith listened to Jordan shouting as she walked, gradually her pace got slower until she was trudging a snail's pace.
The conversation had turned darker, much more disturbing. Faith heard the word homicide once or twice.
Should she keep walking?
She did, but, though her head was down, her eyes darted across the path infront of her and her earsa were on high alert.
"Let's just say, I've been down that road," Faith heard Jordan say.
"You've been down that road?" The Slytherin said, "You've killed someone."
Faith stopped in her tracks. The boy's vocie was deady serious. This was no joke.
They didn't seem to have noticed that she had stopped walking.
"Yes, I have," Jordan replied.
Faith's brain started to clog up with overuse. Jordan's other word's were becoming blurred.
Was she really sharing a school with a murderer?
Faith started to walk again, faster this time. She reached a large oak, just inside the courtyard, close enough to listen, far enough away not to be seen. She darted behind it and listened.
For five or so minutes she listened to the conversation until she started mulling over things in her head.
She stared at the badge on her cloak, it was the Gryffindor lion emblazed in red and gold.
"Loyal and brave," She said to herself.
She stepped put from behind the shelter of her tree and started to cross the courtyard towards where the two were standing.
"For Christ's sake!" She half-shouted, half-hissed, "Keep your voices down! Anyone could hear, and some of them are stupid enough to tell people!"

Jordan nearly jumped out of her witts when Faith appeared out of no where. She blinked, she had forgotten the Gryffindor had been there. Jordan closed her eyes and looked at her. This was not good, at all. If Faith had only caught snips of that conversation she wouldn't understand what had really happened.
"Hear what? The whole killing thing? Um, self-defense Faith. He was going to kill me and Katie. It's alright, it's already been handled by the authorities. I'm not a rampaging killer, though he is." Jordan told her as she pointed her thumb at the boy, she had never caught his name. Then again he had never thrown it. Jordan shrugged and attempted a small smile.
"Any quesitons?" She asked with a sincere gleam in her eyes.

*Pyro blinked in amazment. 'what the heck is she thinking, Ive never killed anyone*
"hey, dont point at me. Ive never killed anyone."
*He turned and looked at the gryffindor girl who he had almost forgotten about. He shruged his shoulders at her*
"and besides, its no skin off of my neck if anyone overhears"

Jordan looked at him, raised an eyebrow.
"Know what the word sarcasm means? Did you hear it in my voice?" She asked him with a sharp snipe of her tongue. Her anger was coming back, she couldn't control it. Lately she had been lashing out at everyone, all at unsuspecting times. She turned her attention back to Faith and smiled warmly.
"If someone overhears and spreads it around the school, it'll be just fine. No one really knows what happened besides me, and I've already been dealt with; questioning and all so I can't get into any legal trouble, wizarding or not. If someone spreads it, it'll just be a malicious rumor until I say the truth." She added simply with a small shrug of her shoulders.

"Oh no, I have no Idea what sarcasm is. Could you please teach me?"

Faith looked between the two. They were staring at each other with spiked malice, and, she couldn't help it, she laughed.
"You should see the looks on your faces," She said, shaking her head.
Faith dropped her bag on the ground and shook her hair back, still laughing.
It was pretty amazing that, just like that, Faith had changed from being worried and scared to laughing uncontrolably. But she did, and all of a sudden things were back to normal and, instead of standing in a courtyard with two homicidal maniacs who it took all her courage to confront, she was just sharing space with a stranger from Slytherin and 'that Jordan girl from Hupplepuff'.
"I'm Faith Oraco," She said to them, and then to Jordan, "Sorry about that. I won't question your motives. Let's just forget it happened right?"

Jordan smiled widely and shook her head as if to say, no worries!
"Okay, deal." Jordan told her with a nod. She then turned to the boy and shook her head and said,
"You just used sarcasm, do you want to sit down? I know it hurts the first couple of times, but that pain eventually goes away." She laughed lightly and kicked some snow...again.

*Pyro looked at Jordan..He ment to come back with a quick remark..but when he open his mouth no words came to him, instead he laughed. He laughed for short bit and than grinned at her*
"Tousche, as you would say."
*he turned to the Faith*
"the names Pyro, slytherin if you havent guessed yet."

"Oh so now I know your name." Jordan said after she stopped laughing. She swept aside some snow with her foot and sat her cloak down so she could sit down on the ground. She liked to sit on the ground, for some..odd reason.
