reading on a bench in a random hallway.

walking down a hallway when he spots basil.

doesn't see him, being so into in his book.

smirks. oh this is favourite tactic. he uses his wand to make the book levitate.

his book start to rise and blinks, unconsciously holding onto it more tightly to stop it.

snickers. he makes the book whip from side to side.

"Wah!" He cries out as the book suddenly starts moving faster from left to right, making his grip on it slip and he ends up falling to the floor from the inertia.

holds his laughter back. he makes the book level to basil, before flying back up just as fast.

sneaks up and Kikyo and smacks him hard across the head with his own textbook. "Stop Bullying Basil-san!"

ducked in time not to be hit. but was distracted enough to lose the hold on the spell. "Im not bullying him, just getting his attention".

tries grabbing his book when it was close to him only to have it fly out of his reach. He sighs with a frown. Not again...

gets hit in the head as his book falls on him...ow...

frowns and smacks Kikyo lightly. "Basil-san! Are you ok?"

wouldn't have let the book fall on him if you didn't distract him for the record.

you still should't of bullied him

I wasn't bullying him, i was teaching him. /true/

taps foot against the ground. "Teaching him what?"

@__@

feeling dizzy.

rushes to Basil and tries to help him stand.

sighs. "defending and attacking with spells". he walks up to where they were.

"Is this true Basil?"

holds his head. "Eh? Uh...yes...I did ask Kikyo for help with that..." He didn't expect this to happen though. Well, unexpected attacks were more realistic he supposed.

wouldn't be lying about something like that.

frowns. "Sorry for hitting you Kikyo-san. I hope I can make it up to you?"

smirks. "We can discuss that later". oh the wicked thoughts~

looks away. He doesn't want to think about that...

blinks and tilts his head wondering if he said something wrong.

's smirk widens.

"Ah so...dost that mean thou will help me with the spells now?" He asks, trying to change the subject. They can do whatever they want when they're alone.

nods at the question. "Yes it does mean I'll help you".

smiles and bows to Basil. "I'm sorry for interrupting. I honestly thought he was bullying you."

smiles. "It's alright..." Actually, he thought it was a bully at first too...he won't admit that out loud though.

nods and steps to the side to watch.

getting bullied by magic is the same at using it to fight.

so too, though fighting usually has a darker intention. "Should we really do this in the middle of a hallway?"

shakes his head. "No, shall we go to the courtyard?". more space.

nods. That would be much better.

nods, he walks into the courtyard.

follows them quietly.

follows him, picking up his book the way. That just happened to be his Defense Against the Dark Arts text, so everything was still fresh in his mind.

turns on his heels when he's standing in the middle of the yard. wand in hand. "Ready?".

takes out his wand after putting his book down and gets into position. He nods, he eyes becoming serious.

smiles. he flicks his wrist as he says "Flipendo", a spell that is to knock the opponent back. he uses this spell as a start up.

automatically had a defense spell in mind. "Protego!" He shouts, with his own wave of the wand, sending spell back to Kikyo.

knew that would happen, he steps aside in time and says "Finite Incantatum". stopping Basil's spell instantly.

takes advantage of the time he uses to do that to try another spell. "Immobulus." He says, trying to render him imobile.

upon hearing that spell, instantly points his wand at himself "Point me". turning himself invisible. can't make things immobile without a target.

frowns. Now how was he going to attack him. He stands still and quiet, listening for any sounds that could pinpoint him while he thinks of a spell to counteract that.

watches intensely wondering what will happen next.

doesn't even move from where he was. instead, he flicks his wand and whispers "Incendio". he leaps into a different area at the same time, knowing that the spell would give him away. using the flame as a decoy.

immediately looks at where the flame starts and uses a spell to put it out, at the same time, sending a blast of water to knock him down, even though it was useless.

using the same tactic, this time he whispers the spell "Petrificus Totalus" before leaping again.

hears a voice behind him, but before he could turn around, his body suddenly feels as if it's tied with ropes and his limbs are pressed together. He clentches his hand tightly to keep hold of his wand.

Expelliarmus /aiming it at Basil's wand/

trys to stop it. "Finite Incantatum..." But it was too fast, not mention Kikyo was behind and since he couldn't turn around, he couldn't aim the spell. He wands flies out of his hand.

undoes the charm on himself, making his appear behind basil. his expression very professional. "I'll admit, you had me going there".

glances back as much as he could, still under the binding spell. "It hardly seems like I stood a chance though..." He says with a sad smile.

walks up beside him so that they could see each other properly. "Relashio". he says, releasing the binding. "it's nothing to worry about, i am two years above you". it's natural.

smiles and claps. "That was good you guys!"

nods. "Ne, what was that spell to make thyself invisible?" He had never heard of it before.

hums. "It's not a spell, it's a charm.".

"Charm then..." He still wanted to know.

can explain. "It's an invisiblity Charm that I put on myself. i just say the word and it works". very handy.

to try it!

you should take it one step at a time first.

blinks and agrees

sighs and calms down. "Alright...is there anything thou thinks I should work on?"

hums in thought. "my only advice would be to learn more advanced spells. since you're only in 4th year, that'll come naturally".

nods. He's been having some trouble casting certain spells though.

you'll get better with time and practice.

agrees.

sighs and accepts their advice. Now just to do something about that prefect so he doesn't come after him.

smiles. "Maybe Kikyo can teach you the charm?"

sighs and accepts their advice. Now what to do to make that prefect not come after him...

hums. well, you could always set traps in advance.

doesn't think Basil is that kind of person

laughs nervously and stratches the back of his head. It's true, he wasn't.

against that prefect, might as well.

blinks. "shouldn't we be fearing our prefects as well?"

doesn't think his own houses prefect is that scary...

"Xanxus is mine..."

doesn't care about his, he does what he wants.

laughs.

looks at Kikyo. "That invisibility charm would really come in handy with him..."

sighs. "I honestly would... but i don't even know how I put the charm on myself". he was a first year.

blinks. "How odd...it still works to this day?"

blinks in surprise. "You learned that high level charm in your first year?"

sighs. ".... i didn't learn it....a second year put on me when i was careless...and he did it wrong, so it remained permantent". though it turned out pretty useful.

frowns. "I''m sorry..."

for a moment. "Maybe we could use a spell to find out how he did it..."

shakes his head. "It's alright. besides, i've been using it for so long it's turned into a style for myself".

fowns.

frowns

used to misfortunes happening to him.

still thinks that is cruel.

as if it's normal. though, he blames Belphegor, but he won't admit it.

looks at Asari with sympathy. "I am sure that if he wanted to get rid of the charm he would hath found a way to do it by now."

nods.

shrugs. "Like I said, it's my style. you can take the snake out of the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the snake".

chuckles.

smiles at the phrase.

smirks. well it's a true statement.
