Crixus was chewing delightfully on his apple when Ceres passed him by, she patted him gently on the back, he looked up silently as she seemed to smile at him grabbing and apple. She motioned towards Sasha the girl he was desperately trying not to look at and gave him a thumbs up sign. Crixus went to say something but she was already reaching out of ear shot, looking back Sasha seemed to bury her face in the book she was reading, it was clear she was furiously blushing now. It was exactly what he thought then wasn't it, Sasha was eyeing him for reasons other then an interest in who he was. Crixus looked down with a sigh realizing that truth all too quickly, he had known he just didn't want to know, maybe because he didn't want to deal with the fact that he could never infatuate himself with another Hogwarts student. But in all honesty he didn't want to either way, not because he it might get him in trouble but because something else seemed to gnaw on the edge of his mind, something that deterred him, although he was unsure what that might be. Ever since he had arrived at Hogwarts it had been there, in fact it had been there long before he got to Hogwarts. It didn't matter, none of it, Crixus was an Auror, Sasha, Ceres, they were both Hogwarts students and his job was as it always was and would continue to be regardless.

Crixus sighed a breath of relief none the less when another Ravenclaw entered the conversation all hyped up about Quidditch, it gave Crixus the chance to slip away without anyone really noticing his departure. While he felt Ceres was safe within the walls of Hogwarts he still had a bad feeling in his gut that something evil was in the castle, it was unquestionable, Crixus knew better then anyone at the Office how far this group would go to claim Ceres's life. Crixus made his way down the hallway silently, looking at the parchment in his hand Ceres was just a hall over, however Crixus's eye's turned to the other name that was now with her, Levi. Crixus speed up his steps as he came to the corner where Levi and Ceres were. He had arrived just in time to see Levi push her into a wall questioning her about him none the less. Crixus placed the parchment back in his robes as Ceres confronted Levi, Crixus let it play out listening before he acted, feeling his hand ball into a fist he wanted to punch Levi in his smug little face for placing his hands on Ceres, but if Levi was part of the group that is after Ceres then he needed to know more then his feelings wanted him to beat Levi into the ground. Crixus listened to the last words spoken by Ceres about taking him over Levi, it made his heart flutter a bit hearing those words, but he ignored it for it was time to intervene before Levi got the idea to try and hurt Ceres for defying him.

[b]"I think perhaps Levi you should learn to keep your nose out of business that is not yours."[/b]

Crixus made his way down the hallway, he approached both of them but kept a subtle distance between himself and Levi, more then enough space to counter any attack the man might try to throw at him.

[b]"I am not very good at repeating myself so listen and listen well. Who I am is none of your concern, and who Ceres chooses to hang around with is none of your concern. If memory recalls and memory is one thing that I have that is extraordinary, you decided to rid yourself of Ceres for the prissy little rich girl named Selene. The same little rich girl whom I spilled a tray of food on yesterday, which was hilarious by the way. But that little fond memory aside I am warning you now, stay away from Ceres or you will be dealing with me, because if you ever lay a hand on her again if it be a finger even, I will break it, and trust me, not even a proficient healer will be able to mend it."[/b]

Crixus was very cold towards Levi, the harsh tone of his voice was apparent as his eye's were filled with extreme distaste for the man in front of him. Crixus flexed both of his hands as they lay dormant by his sides, he wanted Levi to attack him, because if Levi did raise his wand towards him, Crixus was no longer bound by his job to not raise his own in self defense.

[b]"With that said you have two choices. Levi. You turn around and walk away down that hallway and don't come back or I will make you fly down the hallway. Choice is yours. Decide."[/b]

The last word sounded like a scary threat as Crixus cracked his fingers, he waited for Levi to remove his wand and be stupid.
