going back to that giant killer plant of his when he sees a familiar Slytherin looking at something. He wonders if he should just turn around and pretend he saw nothing, but he's both curious and suspicious...

inspects the egg as he wonder what kind of creature that could be waiting to come out. it's too big to be a dragon's egg. maybe a serpent?hoho that would be fun, letting it roam wildly through the school.

his curiosity get the better of him and walks closer towards him, trying not to make a sound though.

kneels down, leading in to place his ear against the hard shell. he hears something move inside and hums. pulling back, he takes in the size and colour of the egg. hm.. all the devilish plans he can do.

leans a little closer to see and egg-shaped figure on the ground. He scrunches his eyebrows and takes a step forward, accidently snapping a small branch.

doesn't make an effort to turn. he instantly flicks his wand out holding it above his shoulder as he points it at the noise from behind him. "not very nice sneaking up on someone".

gulps, standing frozen. Though he had acted brave against him before, he probably wouldn't even get the chance to take out his wand before he did something to him. "I...was not trying to sneak up on thee..." -

he claims.

smirks. "oh is that so? then what exactly were you trying to do?". he doesn't make a move, still examining the how known egg. oh is he ever glad he actually went to that creatures class. it came in handy.

"I...was simply curious...what is thou looking at so intently?" He asks carefully, though he was sure he would answer that it was none of his business.

do the opposite. he sighs. "Looking at an egg obviously". he notices cracks and smirks wickedly. oh looks like it'll hatch pretty soon, good timing.

surprised and uses the opportunity to move a little closer to look at it. He sees the egg and gasps when he realizes what kind it is...

retracts his wand, he's a tad surprised at the other's boldness but shrugs it off. his attention is on the fine basilisk egg siting right in front of him.

(O.o)

stares in shock. What would a basilisk egg be doing here? How did it even get there?

doesn't have the slightest clue either but he's highly fascinated by it. besides, he can't just leave a basilisk egg lying around now can he.

doesn't think it would be a good idea to move. Every egg has a mother...

that's not a smart mother to just leave her egg out in the open.

if this could be some sort of trap from her...the egg cracks a little more.

doesn't know, but it'll be fun to watch the school go chaotic with this lovely creature roaming the place.

looks at him. "How could thou think of doing that? That's more than just a silly prank. People could get hurt!"

points his wand at the egg. "you shouldn't jump to conclusions. a person who would really let a basilisk roam freely should be considered insane".

wouldn't be surprised to see a Slytherin have that amount of insanity...

might be a Slytherin but knows there's a highly clear line between a prank and a dangerous idea. It's not like you know him to know about that anyways.

flinches as he sees the crack become larger. "What to do about this...it'll hatch...it would not be wise to just leave it like this..."

smirks devilishly. "There's a simple way to fix this problem". he says nonchalantly as he stands up and takes a step backward from the egg. he didn't expect it to hatch this quickly.

looks at him, confused with what he plans to do, also taking a step back.

sighs. he points his wand at the egg. "Avada Kadavra". uses the Unforgivable spell that kills, green light streamed from his wand. the egg explodes with smoke around it, the shell gone, leaving a died basilisk.

flinches again as he witnesses an Unforgivable curse being used. However...the basilisk was dealt with...he stands frozen, staring at the unmoving body.

doesn't finish there. "Incendio". the remains of the decease basilisk are now engulfed in flames, the ashes scatter in the wind. now it can't be reborn or healed since it was reduced to nothing.

watches the ashes fly away. Now they could only hope the mother doesn't come back for revenge, not that they would probably care. "I apologize..." He mumbles, still looking at the air, not really stating what-

he was apologizing for.

puts his wand away. he hears what the other had mumbled but shrugs it off and turns to head back to the castle. "You coming or just going to stare at space for the mother to get you?". he says, looking back at-

the other.

blinks a few times out of his blank state and runs to catch up to him. He had been sorry for accusing him for being insane just because of his house.

Figured. He'll take the apologie, it doesn't bother him anymore. Since it happens so often, he's gotten used to it.

walks next to him as they head back, feeling a little awkward. "Ne, what was thou doing out there?" He tries to start a conversation.

Thrusts his hands into his pockets. " just wondering, skipping class.". History of magic is a waste of time when all you have to do is read a book. He looks to the other.

sighs. "Really now. Continually skipping will only give thee problems later on..." Not that he probably cares.

shrugs. "I care enough to only skip class when i feel it's necessary". he's somewhat in the top of his class, he just gets bored easily.

can't help but nod in agreement, only because he knew what that was like. "It does get a bit tiring...having to learn something thou already knows..."

hums as he nods. "it seems rather hard to find something that amuses me". the days have been so dull lately.

keeps looking down. "So...that's why thou causes all that mischief then...?"

finds that question interesting. "hm... I guess so, adding the fact of influences maybe?". he's been doing it for 6 years, that's the same time he met Belphegor as well.

hums in thought. He won't comment on what those other influences may be. "When I am bored, I usually just read...but I guess most do not find that very entertaining..."

Sighs, "it also has to do with the people you choose to be around you". He says bitterly, recalling his corruption in the first year. Sad life.

somewhat of a loner...well that explains it..."Is there something that interests thee that dost not hath to do with breaking the rules?"

starting to feel that this Slytherin is a much better person than first impressions let him off to be...

*lead him to be

Hums at the question. "I guess learning spells and creatures are the only thing that wont get me in trouble". Of course other activities as well.

smiles. "Sometimes I go out to see the animals that we learned about in the Car of Magical Creatures. Hast thou ever done that?" The professor trusts him enough to leave him alone with them.

looks at the other with interest. "No actually I haven't. but i would like to".

's smile grows wider as he senses his interest. "I could take thee there now, if thou would like."

nods. "I wouldn't mind, it's not as if i have anything to do". plus he would really like to see that, but he won't admit it.

nods and turns to the right to head towards the field where classes are held. "Then, follow me."

does so, he walks along with the other as he follows.

arrives at the field, walking over to the cage that held the creatures they were currently learning about: nifflers. He opens it and takes one out.

watches with interest as the other takes out the creature. seeing that it was a niffler, he was glad to have not worn anything shiny.

holds it out to him. He had already observed his lack of shiny objects so he dubbed it safe. It sat contently in his hand, staring up at Kikyo with tiny, black eyes.

pulls his hands out from his pockets to hold the creature. when he saw that it took to him rather quickly, he unconsciously smiles at the display.

smiles as he watches them, letting out a small laugh as the niffler climes up Kikyo's shoulder to try to bury itself in his long hair for warmth.

felt a tad nervous when the niffler roams through his hair. making sure not to make a move. upon hearing the other's laughter, he couldn't help but feeling a bit embarrassed.

decides it was time to help him as the niffler didn't seem tot want to move and the other wasn't moving, but definitely looked uncomfortable. He moves up to him, reaching up to untangle it, though it would-

probably take a few minutes. Since he was a bit shorter than the other, he had to lean in close to see, which made things a tad awkward.

blinks in a bit of confusion to see that suddenly the other male had come into such closer contact. ending up just staring at the other's eyes in a brief moment of dumdfoundedness as he wondered what the other-

had been trying to do.

catches the other's eyes for a moment and sees confusion. He quickly looks back to his job, trying not to think of their awkward position. "Just trying to get it off..." he mumbles. It was almost untangled...

blinks. he realized with the pulling of the hair and lowers himself, though it might have been too late. "You could have said something, maybe a warning?". can't just randomly do that, it'll freak anyone out.

glances at him again and then looks back. The niffler was just about free. "I would hath thought it to be obvious. Why else would I do this...?" He untangles the last of his hair and grabs onto the creature,-

but it suddenly jumps off Kikyo's shoulder and pulls Basil foward with startled cry and making him crash into the other.

groans slightly from both the niffler pulls his hair from jumping off his shoulder and Basil all of a sudden crashing into him. he had grabbed the other in reflex, a hand on his shoulder while the other on his-

back. "hm, looks like you're not the only one that acts without warning". he said referring to the niffler.

shakes his head, rubbing his forhead which had hit his chest. "Sorry..." He says and suddenly realizes how this looks. He quickly moves away from him, embarrassed.

tilts his head slightly at the other's reaction. only to let out a chuckle, realizing the situation. "oh no need to be sorry". he says with a smirk.

blushes lightly with embarrassment and tries to hide it by walking behind him to the niffler who was sitting on the ground grooming itself. He carefully picks it up. "I...think this little guy hast caused-

enough trouble for now..."

snickers to himself. catching a small glimpse of Basil's tinted pink complection. he foldes his arms lazily cross his chest. "Looks like that's one thing the little guy and I have in common". trouble is one-

thing he seems to attract or be.

puts the critter back in its cage and looks at him, letting out a small snicker and smile at the comment. "I guess that's why he seemed to like thee so much."

chuckles at Basil's comment. "That could really be the case". he says as he looks at the other.

keeps smiling. "Ah...these art actually the only creatures here right now...but if thou ever wants to come back, I would happily take thee." It would be odd if a student who wasn't part of the class came by-

himself.

smirks. "That would be lovely, i'll definitely take up your offer on that". it seems like a good way for him to kill his boredom.

nods. Well, it was starting to get late and the last classes were over by now. They should probably head back.

can take you back to your dormitory area. he doesn't feel like getting to the Slytherin dorm in a hurry.

ponders it for a moment before nodded with a small smile. "Sure..." He says.

retreats his hands into his pockets as he turns. "Shall we then...". he says, referring to going back to the dorms.

"Right..." He starts heading back once more, staying slightly in front of him so as not to look at him. He really misjudged this student and he wanted to say something about it.

glances at the other from the side occasionally. he has a feeling that Basil was holding back something but doesn't pry. he'll remain silent until the other saying whatever they have to say.

waits until they were almost at the Ravenclaw dorm before saying anything, making the trip very quiet. "Ano...I thank thee...for walking me here..." He starts off.

Nods "it's was no problem at all". He notices they were near the Ravenclaw dorm as the silence was broken.

"And um...I want to apologize once more, but...for a bigger scale this time. We certainly did not get off to a good start and it is mostly because I jumped to conclusions about thee because of thy house and-

actions...I misjudged thee and that was wrong, so I apologize..." He kept glancing up and down at him while speaking and he glanced up once more to see his reaction.

Wasn't taken by surprise by the statement. Instead he acted very nonchalant, sighing as he rubs the back of his head. "it's quite alright, I'm used to being misjudged due to the stereotype of my house... So-

Apologie accepted". He gives the other a small smile to express his appreciation to the matter.

smiles back, immensely glad he was forgiven. "Then uh...I should head back. Til next time." He say walking off with a small wave.

Waves off as well. "have a nice night". He says with a small smile, as he starts to walk back as well.

(gotta love how wrong this plurk started seeing as a Basilisk egg is just a chicken egg hatched under a frog and doesn't even have a mother...lol)
