Taking the destruction for what it was worth -he [i]was[/i] a Slytherin after all- he raised his wand and concentrated on his task. With a flick of his wand, two [i]Confundus[/i] charms sailed through the air and hit the two Gryffindors in theit backs. Both stilled and shared a look between themselves, snapping his fingers and moving forward, Kieran flickered his wand once more. The last was lifted into the air and a happy giggle drew Kieran's attention away from the squaking Hufflepuff boy. 

"Kieran! I wondered where you'd gone off to, need some help?" The familiar voice was laced with curiosity and a hint of mischief. Kieran frowned and with his free hand, he folded all his fingers but his index and middle. Snorting softly he watched from the corner of his eye as she moved forward and turned her attention to the two bullies that still stood there. "Are you leaving?" She asked sweetly, both paled and bolted down the corridor, rolling his eyes and flicking his wand, the Hufflepuff was sent flying a few feet away before Kieran ended the spell. The boy took off just as his feet touched the cobblestone. 

[i]I didn't need your help Rina[/i] His fingers signed, Rina huffed and rolled her eyes as she neared him and placed both hands on her hips. 

"Right, and might I remind you that I will protect you from those who see fit to tease you? Merlin, Kieran, you can't do everything on your own." Her lips were thinned and her eyes had narrowed, Kieran knew the signs of his cousin'a anger, but right now he didn't need to be babied. 

[i]I can as long as I-[/i] His fingers stilled as Rina moved forward and placed her hand again his chest, he stiffened as a faint flare of pain filled him. 

"No. Now, shall we thank your helper? Professor Denier told me to find you. It's time to receive our timetables." With that she turned and paused when she spotted a new face, Kieran turning to far the boy still on the ground. "Ah, Michael, come on then, best not keep everyone waiting." Rina gestured the first-year with a flick of her wrist, Kieran crouched down and offered a sheepish smile. Lifting his wand and waving it, blue mist began to form in the aor between them. Most people didn't know sign-language so Kieran with help from his uncle, created a spell that formed words from a bluish-mist. [b][i]Are you alright? I'm sorry you got involved.[/i][/b] The words formed and remained in the air, he shifted on his feet and the gaze he could feel on his back. Rina wasn't a patient girl, the fact that she'd been chosen as Perfect was odd, though she was smart and dependable when needed so he could understand how she'd gotten the title. She was a month older and loved to brag about it whenever she could, Kieran endured it with a smile, beside she and their uncle was the only family he had left now. [@Sunflower]
