Re: Back to school at Last [Vinny] (RP)

Mak saw the compartment door open, and she tried desperately to think of the happy thought she could, she was sitting on a beach with a new friend and they were enjoying each other's company, "Expecto Patronum," she shouted and she started to feel all cold and clammy. She was losing her strength quickly, but at that moment a silvery wisp appeared. She tried to hold it as long as she could, but she had almost no stregth left, "Expecto..Patronum," She tried again. It was very faded and not very confident. Nothing shot out of her wand this time. She was in trouble. She was trying to hold on to her consiousness to save herself and Vinny. Just when she didn't think she could hold on anymore some one else entered the compartment, and she could not tell if it was friend or foe, student or dementor.

Nicholas had hardly had a moment to himself since boarding the train. As soon as he had chucked his trunk into the luggage compartment and pinned his prefect badge to the breast of his robes he had been ushered into the corridors to patrol. He had planned this journey for weeks but it was all falling apart, he should have found and been sitting in Makaiden's compartment by now but no, he was assuring crying first years that they did not have to duel a dragon to determine what house they were sorted in to. Really where did kids hear all this stuff? Wiping a trickle of sweat from his brow he grabbed a few chocolate frog's from the trolly woman, shoving silver coins into her hands in return. He popped one into his mouth then put the other inside his robe before setting off again down the train.

The air of authority that came with the badge was rather empowering, as he walked down the corridor hoardes of young girl's would stop chatting abruptly and whisper as he walked by. Groupes of boy's cowared in their compartments as they saw a Slytherin prefect approach. He ignored it for the most part but he couldn't wipe the smile from his face. This smile was wiped however as he entered the next carriage....

It was oddly cold and very quiet, too quiet. Nick moved over to an open window and shut it. It was then he saw it in the glass of the window. A ghostly black hooded figure in the compartment behind him. Realising it hadn't noticed him, Nick opened the wondow again and slowly reached into his pocket, producing his want. Breathing slowly he turned swiftly, throwing the carriage door open. Conjuring up joyfull thoughts, a practical joke he played on a teacher, a girl he shared French food with, a first kiss on the cheek, he levelled his wand on the target "EXPECTO....PATRONUM!" There was a huge thunder as a white dragon erupted from the wand, intimidating the dementor, spewing white flames at it. Nick was thrown aside as the dementor scurried out the compartment and out the open window. Rushing back to his feet he shut it, so as to make sure it could never return.

Turning to see if anyone had been in the compartment he was shocked to see Makadien. He rushed to her side, diving into his pocket he snapped the chocolate frog he had bought earlier in half and forced her to eat it....

Mak tried to pulled herself up enough to see what was going on. She saw a bright burst of silver and allowed herself to slump over knowing that she must either be losing it or someone was saving them. She could then fell a part of warm hand around her and trying to put something in her mouth. She ate it without much care as to what is was and instantly started to feel better. She looked up a bit blurry eyed af first, but then it became quite clear. Nick was by her side. She smiled weakly, but she was very happy to see him, and said "Thank you."

She didn't know what to ask next, but before she could really get anything else out of her mouth Vinny caught her eye still hunched over on the floor, "We have to help her, do you have anymore of what you gave me?" Realizing that it wa probably chocolate. She began rummaging through her pockets to see if she had any.

Thoroughly pleased that Makadien was recovering, and now well enough to point out there was someone else in the carriage Nick rose to his feet. Taking out as he did so a final chocolate frog, which he split in half to stop moving. Crouching next to the young girl he held her head up with his hand and popped the chocolate into her mouth. Speaking calmly to them both his voice was calm and re-assuring "Its all going to be fine, eat up the chocolate it'l make you feel better. Can you remember how it got in?" It obviously being the dementor.

Mak stopped looking in her pockets as Nick pulled out another chocolate frog. She watched as he was so calm and collected as he tried to revive Vinny. His presence helped calm her as well. She thought about what had happened just moments before. She and vinny had been talking to one another, nothing really important or urgent, and then without any notice at all things started to change....

She continued through the events in her head and relayed them as best and simplified as she could to Nick, "Well I am not really for sure what happened. One moment we were talking about our summers and such, and the next the sky grew dark and things got cold." She glanced over at Vinny and saw her coming to. "Are you okay?" she asked at once, "If it hadn't been for Nick I don't know what would have happened," She admitted. She looked up at him and gave him a smile that said a warm thank you.

Virginia looked up, and gave a start. "Who are you?" she asked, narrowing her eyes. But she relaxed when Mak told her that he had just saved her. "Oh. Thanks, very much." she said. "So, what happened?" she asked, intersted. "The last thing I remember is, well, passing out." she said, blushing.

by Guest Wed Aug 05, 2009 12:45 am

Mak was very glad to see that Vinny had come to and was okay. "That's Nick," she said with a glance at him and a smile. She thought about her next question and figured Nick was the best person to tell everything, but she would start, "Well after you couldn't get the door closed," Mak started, "I tried a patronus charm a couple of times and failed. That is about as much as I can tell you. Nick will Have to fill you in on the rest."

She stood up and walked back over to the bench to be more comfortable and hoped the others would take a seat too. She stole a glance out the window and saw that it too was turning back to a clear blue sky slowly but surely.

Nick returned Makaiden's warm smile with a smile of his own but now was not the time for such things. He listened intently to what she was saying, it wasn't much, it sounded to him like they had been randomly targeted. When he was introduced to the other girl in the carriage, this Vinny, he nodded politely in her direction. Hearing about the patronus charm he spoke soothing words to Makaiden "Patronus's are very advanced incantations, to achieve a silver whisp with your level of learning is something to be very proud of. You never know, that small wisp of joy could well have bought you the vital moments it took me to arrive."

He rose to his feet and strode over to the window's. Nick pressed his face to the glass, looking to see if perhaps the train was being followed by a dark shroud, it wasn't. It was pretty much pitch dark outside though so he could not be sure. He returned to the girls and decided to dismiss any panic they felt, they needed to recover, not worry "It looks like it was just a stray I wouldn't worry about any returning and we should be at Hogwarts in just over half an hour I'd say." He paused then continued "Are any of you hurt? Im not much of a healer but cuts and bruises I can deal with, broken bones are not my field." He smiled, obviously trying to lighten the mood. It was his first real test in his new role as prefect and he felt he was doing ok. Not many prefects had to diffuse situations like this though, it would need to be reported.

"Nah, I'm ok." she said. She stood up, and her right arm really hurt, but she didn't want to bother Nick with it. She sat down and looked aroun. After a minute she got busy un-freezing her frozen drink bottle with her breath. "So should this be reported?" she asked. If what Nick guessed was true and it was a stray, they probably didn't have anything to worry about.

by Guest Wed Aug 05, 2009 1:45 am

Mak was flattered by Nick's praises of her attempts at a patronus. She was sure that it should have been better, but she couldn't bring herself to argue with him. Plus she was pretty sure that he was right. She caught his eye and smiled, "Thanks you are probably right."

She continued to watch him as he stepped across the train and peered through the glass. He looked slightly worried still and Mak picked up on this, but he tried hard to disguise it so she ignored it for the time being. She would ask him later after they had, had some time to recover what his true opinion on the matter was.

Half an hour she thought? That wasn't much time left at all and she frowned. She wanted to get to school, but it felt as though they had just gotten on the train. She still hadn't gotten Vinny to open up any and she had kind of hoped that she would get to talk to Nick for a little bit longer. She sighed. And then hearing him speak again looked herself over. She seem to be untouched for the most part, shaken yes, but she couldn't see any visible injuries. "I think you have taken care of me with the chocolate frogs. Quite lucky that you had some too."
