Crixus listened silently as Ceres said good night to him she spoke of darkness and things in which she truly did not understand, if she truly knew what she had seen when he showed her what he saw day an night then she would not be so quick to dismiss the darkness in his own soul. Then again who's fault was it that she was not aware of what the colors represented, or what he was truly talking about, or even what he was trying to say? Why was it so hard to just open the gates of his own life for people? Why was it that he couldn't even bare to tell even the most smallest thing to anyone? Why did he find it so hard to trust people, especially the ones who trusted him with their lives, he was not capable of giving the same back. Why... why does the past haunt me so and why can't I let it go? Crixus reached over into his black bag and removed Basil laying him on the bed, with a couple gentle strokes he realized that this serpent miniature knew more about him then any human alive and that was in it self a horrible realization and then again it wasn't at the same time.

Reaching back into the bag Crixus removed a large parchment of paper and lay it upon the bed, with another reach into the seemingly endless bottomed bag he pulled out a [url=http://pm1.narvii.com/6055/1b325a37f98f4a88281580bd37424670dfa6a8c1_hq.jpg]wand[/url], it was quite different from the one that lay attached still to his forearm. Taking it in the opposite hand he flicked his wrist, the wand on his forearm freed from the holster and slid into his outstretched hand. Letting the handle of the wand rest against his palm the center went through his fingers and rested between his middle and pointer finger. Taking the second wand he placed it in similar fashion in his other hand. Raising them both up he swished them at the same time, both wands lite up at the tips with a brilliant white light which covered the room intensely. Raising both wands out fully extended to the sides Crixus tensed his arms and brought the wands back to his body breath slowly then extending his arms back out the orbs of light at the bottom of each wand flew into the air as bright white orbs, bringing his arms back in the balls of light flew to him and stopped just a few feet in front of him. He stared at them intensively his eye's visible against the black enchanted glass which was illuminated through the light.

Crixus sat silently for almost an hour as he concentrated on the two orbs of light, he almost seemed in a transfixed state as he sat on the edge of the bed. Turning his attention to the parchment on the bed next to him he lowered one of the wand and swished it, thinking a certain phrase as he did so the parchment came to life and formed a map of the entire school. Looking down at it he viewed the tower he was in and quickly located Ceres, she was unmoving in one location, she must have been asleep by now. Crixus brought his wands down as the glowing orbs dissipated cloaking the room back into the firery shadows. Picking up a black shirt layed out on the bed he slowly pulled it over his head and went to the door. Placing one wand in the hem of his pants he his it under the shirt and replaced the other in its holster. Opening the door he peaked out there was not a sound, it seemed everyone was out for the night, exiting the room he made his way down the stairs quietly and slipped out soon enough through the entrance to the common room and into the night beyond the castle.

Crixus yawned to himself as he sat layed out on the couch in the common room, the sun had already risen high in the sky and he could hear the rest of the Ravenclaw students hustling a bustling. With another even longer yawn he got up and returned to his room, taking off the black shirt from before he silently got back into the Ravenclaw robes he had been given. Today was his first official day of going back to class and learning, oh that was going to be so much bloody fun. Crixus was sarcastic to himself, knowing there was still time before breakfast he silently fell back into the bed and propped his foot up on the edge and closed his eye's. Almost immediately he had drifted off into a rather deep sleep. When he next came too Crixus jumped up looking around, one of the other students was poking their head through his door.

[b]"Its time for breakfast sleepyhead!"[/b]

Crixus smiled and nodded as the cheerfulness was enough to drive him into a coma this early in the day. Placing his feet back onm the ground he gave Basil another couple quick rubs on the head and walked to the door.

[b]"Keep the place safe Basil and try not to hunt anyones pets, I don't want to explain how someones pet cat ended up disappearing Basil."[/b]

Basil flicked his tongue out and lowered his head almost like he was sarcastically bowing to Crixus upon his command. Crixus merely rolled his eye's behind the sunglasses and walked down the stairs. Waiting for Ceres he was starving again, he hoped breakfast would be a bit less violent then the opening dinner. Then again... spreading mash potatoes over that pure blood snob was rather fun, maybe there would be biscuit and gravy this time to knock on her. Crixus chuckled to himself at the thought, Ceres would get a hell of a laugh out of that and he liked to see her laugh and smile.
