Evening Stroll ((Aden))

[maddiemalfoy]

Maddie scoffed and smirked at the small first years scurrying past her. Those small children annoyed her so. Running around the castle like some small lost dog, laughing and chattering up the halls as if they owned the place. "Honestly," she murmured as she pushed a first year girl to the ground as she walked past. "You would think that they would at least know what they're getting themselves into, messing around with a Slytherin." However, all of those new first years... and even the second and third years still didn't quite understand that concept, and still dared to pass Maddie or any other Slytherin, as if they weren't aware that they were there. Maddie scoffed off the thought, as she pushed open the great wooden doors that lead outside.

Maddie didn't necessarily know what had brought her outside this evening, but she certainly wasn't going to stay cooped up in the common room, with all that complaining about the extra homework that some of the bunch had received in Charms today. Maddie rolled her eyes. Yes, Slytherins were supposed to throw fits and complain about things, but those younger children were just driving her mad.

Maddie sighed deeply, as she began to make her way over the courtyard entrance. Perhaps a small stroll around the courtyard or grounds would do a bit of good. Maddie didn't care anymore. By now, Maddie had reached the courtyard entrance and began talking a short stroll around the courtyard, not really doing anything in particular, just minding herself as her feet took her around the grounds, her eyes wandering over the surroundings. There wasn't many students out, so that was always something that Maddie didn't mind at all. She continued to glide slowly throughout the courtyard, walking mostly where the other grounds and the courtyard stone concrete met.

[Aden McGrogan]

((Dreadfully sorry for the delay))

The halls were beginning to give off a faint musty smell. It was sickening to the senses. Not to mention the stench of Muggle was also thick in the air. Aden had just left the library. School work was really starting to get heavy and he had needed to finish a potions essay. There was no way he was going to get any work done in common room. So he had risked a trip down to the library. Luckily, there had been no muggles down today. Walking down the hall the dark scene, the stone walls, the torches, the dusty smell was slowly starting to get to him. It was time to get outside and clear once senses.

Aden swung his bag off his shoulder just as a first year was passing by. He slammed the bag into the kids stomach and without slowly moved past the kid. "Go to the 6th year dorms. My bed is the 4th one on the left. Place it there." Aden moved a few more steps. Without even looking he could sense that the kid was about to discard the bag. "Oh, and if you don't deliver it to where I told you. I will hunt you down and you will find certain conditions have been placed on you, and I promise. Not even Madam Pomfrey will be able to reverse what I'm going to do to you."

Aden smiled as he heard the hurried footsteps of the boy move away. His threat had been a partially empty one. He hadn't even bothered to look at the boy so he wouldn't be able to find him even if he tried. Not that he had any doubt that his order wouldn't be carried out. First years were to scared and easily persuaded to what you wanted. Most people walked out of the big doors into the courtyard, but Aden had discovered a better passage way.

Aden tapped a certain brick and the wall slowly dropped away. A tunnel was revealed and he stepped into it just as the wall came back up. "Lumos." He said as a light came out of his wand. It was a short walk from there. He came to a dead end and pushed up on the ceiling. It quickly opened and a staircase popped out from the wall in front of him. He walked up the stairs and stepped into the courtyard as the ceiling closed and the stairs disappeared. He scanned the courtyard. As far as he knew no body else knew about that passage. Today though, there was a girl that just happened to walk by. It seemed as though she hadn't spotted him yet.

He looked at her. Slytherin, by the color of her robes, and pretty young looking. He smirked. "Little late for someone like you to be outside don't you think?" He said to her.

Maddie continued on with her short but steady walk, until she heard the voice of an older boy from up above herself. She listened to his words, and immediately turned her head up, almost glaring at the boy, eying him up and down. The boy was a Slytherin, she could see by his robes. The boy looked a few years older than herself, two... three years at the most. It was a boy that Maddie had never personally met, by she vaguely remembered him... and she thought that she might have recalled meeting him once, back in her third year. The first name escaped her, but most people in Slytherin knew about his older sister, Dawn McGrogan. So... therefore, he was a McGrogan. She shrugged slightly in her mind, still slightly glaring up at the boy.

"Excuse me?" she asked, not expected an answer. "Personally, I do not think so." she added, replying to his own question. She shrugged, that's what most of the older boys went on about, anyway. She cocked an eyebrow, as she began again. "I do not believe that we've formerly met. I'm Madison Kenacheak, a fourth year. McGrogan... am I correct?" she drawled out.

While Maddie waited for McGrogan to answer her, she thought about his question. It was a bit late... but she didn't care. Too many students were too afraid to go out after dark. Now that it was getting into the winter season, it got darker much sooner now... and the time really wasn't but about six o'clock. She shrugged again, as she looked back up to the boy with a coked eyebrow.
