Interludes

 

Peesey strolls to the dark corridors where the Slytherin common room, where he finds Riala sitting in one corner of. He take a few steps towards her and says "Riala, I got the letter, and well, of course I don't think you murdered Joss, I think someone totally different did it. I was there just after you did whatever you did." Riala looked nervous "I.." Peesey pauses for a moment, he swallows and says "would love to go to the ball with you!"

Riala almost gawked at him, she I had really NOT expected this, the whole point in the letter was so she didn't have to face him when he rejected her but now that he was NOT rejecting her she had no idea what to say. So after a few seconds silences she got her brains back and got up gave him a hug for response, then just laughed a little and said, "So, you have a costume yet? or any ideas for one?" not only was it a relief to get a date but..he *believed* her.. That almost but her heart in her throat just thinking about it(familiar feeling!)!

Morticia walks around Hogwarts to find Egreen.

"Where IS he?" she can be heard muttering. "This will be the worst-ever day in my life! I was the first one to ask a boy, and that boy doesn't have the slightest interest anymore to even SEE me!" She wanders throughout corridors, getting sadder and sadder. Finally she sits down, leans against a wall and stares at the opposite wall.

"It's all been going downhill since Joss died", she says silently to herself, "and since Papa was here and Nathan... it's all got to do with me! I saw Joss' death and my family screwed things up even worse." She starts to cry.

"I'm so sorry, Joss! It was my fault cause I didn't remember my dream!" She sniffles and forces a smile. "Well, at least I'll have the most stunning costume! No more pretty-looks for Morticia, it'd be a lie anyway considering the mood of people here."

Joss had been wandering silently and secretly through the halls, she knew exactly where she was going she was just taking her time to get there, waiting for Kat to figure out she's looking in the wrong place(s). What surprised her was to hear Morticia...in a way talking to her, though obviously not expecting any response. She came quietly, and if she'd had any tears to spare she would have cried for this girl who could have and most likely, would have been a great friend that ended with only an acquaintance.

Josslin did owe Morticia...after all, who knows when the WOULD have found her body if it hadn't been for her, because nothing could have stopped her death, at least that she knew of. The emotion involved in Josslin's overwhelming sympathy must have wavered her self-control because Morticia looked up rather suddenly strait towards her. Joss looked down on her, and through her mumble of words the only ones to be understood were: Morticia, not, your, and fault. But this was all before Joss realised she broke her Vow of secrecy, and faded away before Morticia could even wonder if she was dreaming.

Even though Morticia wasn't sure that she'd really seen Joss, she somehow felt better. "Joss?" she asked silently. "Are you here? I... I hope you're okay, you know... at least as okay as a ghost can get. I'm really sorry about what happened. So... if you need to talk to someone... I'll be there. I just fear that I wasn't much help to Kat about the riddle..."

She sighed. "Gosh, I must look stupid talking to myself here!"

Kalidor set off in the direction Kat had vaguely pointed. He just about knew his way to the (ugh!) potions room. (What *were* the use of potions anyway - inferior magic! Pah!). He got the feeling that from there on it would be an experience. A shudder ran down his spine as he contemplated that he could, indeed, be wandering around the dungeons for ever. Or even longer for that matter!

Either that or he would have to hope to bump into a friendly looking Slytherin... Actually, on second thoughts, he probably had more chance of finding the place himself than that happening....

On his way through Hogwarts, Kali almost stumbles over Morticia who sits on the ground and sobs. "Hey, look out, will you!" she grunts at him.

When Kali explains about his quest, Morticia sighs. "Alright then, won't hurt anyone, I guess. Come on!" She leads him to the entrance of the Slytherin common room and whispers the password. "Here you are, Kali. Good luck." She climbs in after Kali to explain that she led him in and he is not an intruder, but a guest.

Winifred (who is sitting in a chair in a corner of the common room) notices Kali enter the room. She contemplates whether or not to go talk to him...

Winifred stands up, placing her things in the chair. She approaches Kali and says, "You probably shouldn't be in here. Some students aren't so keen on people from other houses." She motions for Kali to follow her out. "Perhaps we should head back to the third year common room and see if they have solved anything yet." Kali, still slightly distraught over the whole getting asked to the ball thing mumbles something that sounds like an "okay". The two of them make their way back from the dungeon without uttering a word.
