Controversy Crisis((Mary))

[Julius Lionheart]

I don't wanna waste my time by becoming another victim of society thought Julius Lionheart. He sat in thoughtful silence among the beautiful scenery that was the Hogwarts courtyard. He was sitting on the ground, his back up against the fountain that flowed in the middle of the hypnotizingly beautiful scene. He was almost imperceptible to the naked eye in the darkness. It was well past curfew, but what was new for the rulebreaker? Nothing; he had spent half of his school life out after hours, exploring the school, uncovering secrets that hadn't been seen in a few decades.

Of course, he hadn't snuck out this time. This time he had simply stayed where he had been all day, in the courtyard, lost in thought. Nobody had paid much mind to him, truly none of them had really noticed that the young man had even been sitting there. He had been thinking about his life and what direction he would take after school. He had so many things to consider: Auror, professional Quidditch, stand up comic, musician, or anything else he wanted. Really, why did he only have to be one? Maybe he could be all of them? It would an hard an undulating task to achieve, yet it would be quite a meaningful achievement.

This was what had taken up the entirety of his day, yet now he had nodded off somewhat. His eyes were open, something he had learned to do in the wake of the pranks that had been pulled on unsuspecting sleepers in the Gryffindor dorms. If someone were to walk up right now, they would surely be surprised at the unresponsive, open eyed Gryff. As it happened, there were footsteps in the quiet of the night that didn't awaken the slumbering Seventh Year.

((Sorry that it's short, will make up for it with a compliment, such as, you are so very beautiful Mary!!! ))

[Mary Evans]

As if Mary didn’t have enough to deal with in her seventh year, NEWTs, quidditch, and school in general… as Head Girl she had to patrol the school some nights. Long gone were the days when she would try to get to bed early, now she was lucky when she got 5 and a half hours a night. Thankfully she didn’t have to wear her winter cloak now, back in December she would have to wear it even when she was staying inside so late at night. Now however, she had on a somewhat warm cloak and decided it was a nice enough night she might as well do a quick check of the grounds as well, just to make sure no one else was enjoying these warmer temperatures with late night dips in the lake.

Her heels clicked through the halls as Mary preformed ‘homenum revelio’ every little while non-verbally so as not to give it away. No one, the castle was quiet. Again on the grounds everything was quiet, thank goodness. It was always such a fuss getting people reported or put into detention or whatever she did, depending on who it was she found out at night. Deciding to return to the castle by way of the courtyard Mary took a slight turn and found her heels now clicking on the stone path.

Finally the spell found someone and Mary sighed as she went searching for the culprit. Knowing what she was looking for Mary was pretty quick to find a boy, about her age, sitting on a bench apparently totally spaced out. “So,” Mary said sitting down next to the boy, hoping to startle him “out after curfew are we?...” Wait, she knew him, where did she know him from? More than classes surely…

Then it hit her, Mary just remembered Kris pushing her out of a fight that wasn’t hers while he and Perseus took over the duelling… Mary had been avoiding this boy for years now… and here he was and she was sitting so it was too late to walk away… best just hope he didn’t remember it.

[Julius Lionheart]

Julius awoke with a start as he heard the words burst through his dreams. Something about curfew....after....oh, he was out after curfew. Shaking the cobwebs from his head, he looked to his left, where the voice had come from. He was somewhat taken aback when he realized that it was a girl, and what's more, she had once been somewhat of an friend. This girl, Mary Evans he recalled her name, though she was no longer by any means a girl, a young woman yes.....Julius began to lose his train of thought, so he switched the rails. Yes, now he was back on the right destination; Mary had once sided with Perseus and himself, against Dawn and some of the other Slytherin's. He hadn't talked to her in quite a while, though the memory of it had always stayed with him.

Smile still on his face, Julius recalled the fact that Mary was Head Girl, Quidditch Captain.......basically the Slytherin House's pride and joy. Hadn't she changed her ways though, turned into a bit of an angry woman? Maybe she had, yet maybe she remembered that fight when she had sided with him. Surely she did, it wasn't somethingto be easily forgotten. Her eyes showed signs of recognition in them, so either she remembered playing against him in Quidditch, or the lights had just flickered on in her dormant memories. She hadn't really fought in it, but he remembered that Crabbe, or was it Goyle, had attacked her even though she wasn't involved. " Been a long time Mary, and yes, I guess I am out after curfew." he said, voicing the lines in his mind.

He had no idea if she despised him or not, yet he hoped she didn't. Was she the epitomy of an ardent Slytherin? Did she, like most of her ilk have that hate of Gryffindor? These were the questions that could only be answered by conversation. " Well, Mary, I guess this means that I'm in your power, are you gonna spank me?" he said, his voice playful and innocent, but the smile on his face was michievous. " Don't tell me you've forgotten the grand 'ol time we had when we were younger." he continued. His eyes searched hers for something he couldn't quite identify yet.
