They say bad things happen for a reason (Reg)

Well it seemed that she still had at the very least a little bit of good luck, Fate it smiled upon her and gave her a first year who was least willing to help her find the missing earring. However within the ten minutes of his prodding questions like why she lost the earring in the first place, and why did she come back from the dance so early and why was she crying.. Well with little Travis prying questions she found herself honestly thankful when he became cold and returned to the castle to get warm..

She had lied to him, and she would have to face the music that come the morning light the record of her humiliation would be made public. Everyone would know most knew now but come morning the rumor mills would finish the job and even first years like Travis would know that she was humiliated and ditched right there in the middle of a packed dance floor for all to see.

She attempted to put the pestering thought from her mind, because what was done and who would find out and what it would do to her when they did was just something she would have to deal with then, she knew full well that worrying about it wouldn’t help.. She knew she would be the laughing stock, frankly that wasn't what was eating at her, no what was eating at her was the fact that she had allowed it to be done, the same mistakes that she seemed to make a habit of. That trusting nature of her's seemed to make it a point to screw her over constantly. She had hoped that she would learn from tonight and not to be so openly trusting, sadly she knew herself enough to know that in spite of her best intentions it was simply her.. She was kind and trusting and if they took that away from her then they would win.

Looking out across the across the path that lead to scene of her humiliation her wand lighting the path brightly but not as brightly as the large moon that shined above her bathing her in pale light that made her hair shine like spun silver. Her blue eyes wide, and searching for the glimmer of gold. Tilting her head she caught the glimmer of something in the midst of a large patch of over grown grass she bounded to it heart racing and hopes high...

Those hopes were dashed the moment she picked up the crinkly piece of candy wrapper the cellophane shimmering wickedly and mocking.. She heard a noise from behind her she turned wand out in front of her, she winced as she saw the figure advanced on her.

Regulus had not really wanted to go to the ball, the only reason why he had wanted to go in the first place was because of Emmelia. She was supposed to be his date for the ball but that hadn't worked out at all since she had decided to go out with his brother instead of him. Needless to was he was a little bitter to say the least. And had been either a state of anger, really wanting to hex whoever bugged him, or sadness where he was unlike his usual badass Slytherin self and was dead quiet. He felt as if there was a little black cloud following him everywhere, he just couldn't get out of this funk. It was annoying, how could one girl do this to him?!

Being at the ball by himself hadn't been great. In fact he'd stayed there for maybe a half an hour before he decided that this wasn't a good idea. He couldn't stand happiness right now, he hated seeing people smile and enjoying themselves. It was just so annoying to him, it made him feel sick almost. Therefore he'd skipped out before he could run into his brother and Emmelia or anybody else he really didn't want to see right now.

With a sigh he had decided that it was too early to adjourn to the common rooms, he didn't want to be the first one in there and asked about why he had left so early. So he figured he should take a walk, maybe it would help free his mind a little bit. Walking with his hands shoved in his pockets, he wasn't too sure where he was going but then again he really didn't care either. Seeing somebody running across the grass, he was curious, great something to get his mind off of everything. Following whoever this was at a distance, he honestly didn't care who this person was he was just letting his curiousity get the better of him. As he got closer, he realized it was a girl, definitely not somebody he'd met before so probably not a Slytherin he was guessing. What was she doing?

Though he stopped when she turned around, her wand out. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you," he said with a smirk, well this wasn't weird at all. "What are you doing out here?" Though it wasn't any of his business and yeah he didn't know this girl. But whatever, he could care less right now about anything.

More questions?.. Great.. Just great..

Hannah visibly winced a little bit as he asked her what she was doing. She honestly wasn’t exactly sure what to respond after all did she want to tell a complete stranger that she had ran from the Dance in tears and tripped fell over face first cause her stupid shoes were a size too big and in dirt and the grass here she manage to loose a snow flake earring that belonged to a Professor..

She looked up at him pondering if he was indeed was that tall and imposing, or was it that she was still kneeling down digging with one hand in a patch of grass with her other hand holding a lit wand.. She wasn’t sure if it was the glow of the moonlight, or just the fact that she was out there by herself. Just out there in the light the boy who was obviously harbored some handsome features still looked sinister and in a bad mood which Hannah was positive not a good thing.. The sheer look on his face screamed that he was not in the mood for most things and probably on that list of things that could possibly annoy him would be her…Growing nervous she did what she normally did when nervous she babbled.

“ Ahhh ... just looking for an earring or possibly my dignity or better yet a usable weapon to kill Lily Evan’s with..” Frowning that she had just honestly said that last part out loud for the world to hear much less this boy who she barely knew who could think for a moment that she was indeed serious.. Frowning she glowered at the ground. “ Sorry not really I wouldn’t kill her, I Promise! I would just like to see her properly flogged..” Ohhhh how she hated hearing herself saying something so vile and mean.. “ Sorry I’m a bit ticked.. That Tart in the course of 5 minutes ruined my night and publicly humiliated me.. “ She looked back at him.. “ I’m hope your night has been better than mine, Come to think of it.. It had to be.. I honestly think Nearly Headless Nick would govern his death day a better time than this night has been.. “

[equivocate]

So what was there to do when the night was at it's all time low? He wasn't really sure just what could be done to raise this night to better spirits. Drinking? Maybe, but that could have the complete opposite effect and just make him a miserable brooding drunk, or a violent drunk, which could then just turn this night from bad to crashing and burning. He guessed he could just see where this went and attempt to go through this night in a slightly healthy manner? Healthy for him, maybe not for any first years or anybody that annoyed him.

He couldn't help but smile as she said she was looking for a usable weapon. This girl sounded like the perfect person to talk to right now. "Well... hopefully karma kicks in some time, hopefully sooner rather than later," he said doing his best to be nice. After all he didn't want to scare off this new acquaintance with his little black cloud personality. "Wow, she definitely sounds like she needs some karma. Well why don't you do something about it? It never hurts to get a little bit of revenge, if she really deserved it. What did she do?" He asked, karma was nice but revenge was always the best answer to these sort of problems. Karma took far too much time and it was very difficult to be patient and let things take it's course. He definitely knew that first hand since all he really wanted to do was kill his brother and god knows what else.

Taking a seat down next to her, he figured he might as well join her on the ground, although he did feel kindof weird messing up his nice clothes, it was something that he rarely ever did. "Doubt it. The girl I was dating told me that she was dating my brother at the same time, and my brother and I don't get along at all. She decided to choose him over me, for some stupid reason. And she was the only reason I was even going to this thing." He said with a shrug, he was more annoyed with the idea of Sirius and Emmelia going to this ball and not really caring whether or not Regulus there. He was sure that Emmelia's guilt was nowhere to be found. How he hated them both right now. He took a deep breathe to try and calm himself down a little bit. But at least he was talking to somebody who was having equally a bad night. Well the night couldn't get any worse right? It was weird for this little beam of positivity to be coming through the black cloud that was Regulus' personality, maybe it was just the niceness of this girl. Maybe it was slightly rubbing off at him, he tried to shake the thought of his head, he didn't want to think of anybody influencing to do anything, especially being nice.

It seemed that affairs of the heart were the main problems tonight.. “ See that right there is why stupid dances like this should be out-lawed.” She looked at him as he took a seat. It seemed she would have to find her earing later, right now she would share in the company of someone who was in just as much pain as she was.. Her jaw clinched as he made mention of just extracting revenge on the one that had wronged her..

“ I don’t need to lift a finger”Hannah’s voice took a softer quieter tone, it sounded confident.”Muggle borns like that they play on our playground, their ignorant of the rules, and because they are Muggleborn and supposedly don’t know better we coddle them. We praise their adequate efforts even to the point where we lie and say it is extraordinary, just cause they didn’t know our world till they were in their teens.. They grow arrogant, and entitled my mother said often that their attitude of entitlement will be their down fall.. I didn’t’ think she was right till tonight. But I see it now. I never once found justification on the attack of Muggleborns , but now I don’t know the human race is a flawed one.. Their children come into our world flawed their selfish and cruel and then we teach them our powers and expect them not to __________________________”

Her eyes widen with shock and horror.. “ Well that is topper for the night.. I also get the pleasure of sounded just like my mother, Could you just kill me now “

She ran a pale hand threw her golden hair before lowering her head to rest against her knee.
She looked at him and sighed..

“ Some girl did YOU wrong?...Now that is unfortunate.. and not just to you but for women.. It means there is some retard ruining our chances for being treated with dignity and respect. Hun do us women a favor when you out grow your appreciation for tart phase, and find a good woman don’t compare her to what this girl has done.... I mean we hear of men cheating all the time, but personally I think women cheat more. We just get always with, where you can’t cause you guys get caught doing dumb stuff… but women.. “ She smiled softly “ we are slickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.. The reason why we get away with it is cause of you men and your fragile ego’s.. Men don’t think their woman will cheat on them.. but that is a fools notion, never underestimate your opponent. I’m sure countless men have gone to their graves thinking they were the only one..”

She looked at him and frowned..

“ I hope you have the sense to know to let them go.. Some people come in for a lifetime and some for a season.. Let her go..Oh whatever she is running after, She will see what she had, but by then it will be too late. You will find half these people your upset about two three years you won’t even recall their last name…Your brother well that is different you will remember him, but he is not near the man you are... She tisked softly to allow a woman to come between you… No decent women would ask of that, then again no decent woman would cheat with brothers.”

She drew a long breath her vision blurred and her head felt funny. “ Well gosh now I really want to maim something. Where is the nearest Muggle town I say we go extract a bit of poetic justice, then again I’m a good girl I’ve never done anything vile before. Kay plan b.. Lets go get that brother of yours I’ll hold him down you beat his ass..”

Dances should be outlawed, they always just led to drama. It was always such a let down, people always thought these things would be so much fun and then there was drama by the end of it and it was just a horrible night that everyone wants to forget. "These things are far too much drama. I mean it can be fun, but there's always something that goes wrong at these things," he sighed, he couldn't think of one dance or event that something bad hadn't happened. It was just the way things were.

Was this girl really saying what he thought she was saying? He was definitely blown away, he only thought the Slytherin's spoke like this. He couldn't help but smile as he listened to her, this was just making him so amused right now. "Your mother is a very smart woman if she thinks like that. My mother's like that too though. But I mean it's kindof true. It would be a lot easier if we didn't let the purebloods in and got rid of everyone else. Just kept everything pure, it would make things much less confusing for everyone." He said with smile, though he rarely spoke about his ideals with just anybody but since she had started the conversation he didn't feel too awkward speaking his mind.

He couldn't help but laugh as she mentioned the tart phase, but it was pretty true. Maybe he needed to find a girl that wasn't one of those crazy whorish girls he always seemed to be drawn to. But then again at least the whorish girls didn't seem to like being attached and that's what he loved. Maybe he had to try and find someone better than that... even if it maybe meant commitment, the thing he was most afraid of. "Women do get away with it, you girls are much sneakier than us. I have no doubt about that, plus girls are much better actresses and can get away with that." Though he had cheated in the past, he had never been the kind to try and hide or sneak around. That just seemed a bit silly, he didn't care about any girls at that time and if he lost one over it than whatever at least he had a backup, it was no real loss to him.

"Oh I'm completely done with her. We had a pretty big fight over everything so I highly doubt she ever wants to talk to me again." Not that he minded, the last thing he wanted to do was to speak to Emmelia after all that she ahd said to him. He would never trust her again, she had completely betrayed him. Well my brother is barely in my life anyways, so hopefully that'll stay that way. Especially after all this, I really could care less to speak to him again." He shrugged, he had no problem with ever seeing Sirius again. Though before never seeing him again he would love to kick his ass just once just to get him back for everything he'd ever done to him.

He was definitely liking this girl's thinking. Maiming his brother sounded like a wonderful idea right now. It would at least make this night much much better. The thought about it was good enough though, he doubted he could really find his brother with all the festivities going on right now. "Sounds like a wonderful plan. Though I don't know where we could find him. So what plan c, my dear?"

[abbott]

“I honestly think that we should be allowed in dances like this in dueling apparel, Or at the very least quidditch gear.. I could have least used a beaters Club tonight with Lily Evans. Then again don’t know if it would have went with the dress but the sheer satisfaction that would have came with beating the crap out of that tart would have made the fashion blunder worth it.”

Hannah looked at him, as a small smile pulled at the corner of her lips. Her blue eyes glimmered in the moonlight.. “Ohhh you of little faith..” She chuckled as she shook her head and tisked at him.. “ Tisk, tisk, tisk….It isn’t like we are searching for lost city of El Dorado. “ She whispered softly. “Just an immoral sleaze of a brother, and a bimbo.” She managed to stand up without toppling back over to land on him in spite of her seeing double.

Straightening out her clothes she tossed her mass of blond curls back over her shoulder. Leaning over him she offered both her hands in open invitation to help him up.. “ We just have to look in the places that the stupid and desperate go.. Sooo, shall we check the carriages first or the docks..” She crinkled up her nose a bit as she looked at him with an impish grin. “Ohhhh, come on.. You know we have a fifty fifty shot with either of them.. HELL, I got caught in the carriages my forth year. Its worth at least a decent poke about.. Come on”

Realizing that he wasn’t going to warm to the idea of mangling his brother she put sighed and chutted off the first thing that came to mind.. “ fineeee, no maiming blood then.. Plan C we have an a truly endearing Squib..” She whipped out her wand, and in the midnight air she drew a miniature drawing of Argus Filch it was cartoon ish to say the least as the bow in his back was more pronounced “ Well after being reminded of how he used to have the power of whipping flesh off un-grateful brat’s like me’s backs I figure a bit of justice is in order.. And as he is squib and therefore stupid it would be real easy to lure him out of the safety of his castle and to the forest were we can use him to bait a werewolf with..” She looked back at the boy and winked a sly wink and mocked Argus’s voice and words perfectly “ You could hear the screaming for days..”

Then she saw the glimmer of light and looking up she saw the steady stalk of a professor approaching.. “ Ohhh Look tight McGonagall is stalking up here" . She with a twitched her wand and the little cartoon of Argus faded into darkness.. “Better day perhaps.. Revenge like everything will have to wait..
