Amelie never once took her eyes off him, as if she feared that looking away would make him worse. Marilyn would stroke Amelie's head as a gesture of comfort, but it did little to assuage her worry. At first, Marilyn thought it was best if they had kept Kalder's condition from her. The young girl was probably better off without knowing but word spread so quickly that the decision was out of her hands. She gave her little sister credit, though, not a single tear was shed, she still went to her classes, and was caught up on her homework. For Marilyn, it had been less than a day and she felt like she was already going crazy. How could she have not noticed how pale Kalder was? How sullen his face looked? Sure, he had been moody, but damn, Kalder was always moody! She should have noticed when he started hanging out on his own. Despite said moodiness, he was still very social, so him suddenly moping around in the common room was already a red flag. The curtain moved as Rosalyn stepped into the space, her flushed face giving Marilyn much annoyance. "[color=gold]Madam Appleton says it isn't too serious, but he's still not awake,[/color]" Marilyn said, gently patting Amelie. "[color=gold]She says it was an accident in his Potions class, but that sounded odd to me. I always thought Kalder was good at Potions.[/color]" Amelie nodded, leaning her head against her older sister. Rosalyn would take a seat on Kalder's bed, being careful not to stir him. "[color=gold]I've been trying to pinpoint the cause of this 'accident',[/color]" Rosalyn informed them. "[color=gold]I did not know snogging Bradley Humphreys was a way to get information, I'll keep him in mind come N.E.W.T. season.[/color]" Marilyn feigned astonishment. Rosalyn rolled her eyes. "[color=gold]I'm being serious. From what I've gathered, apparently his Gryffindor partner kept screwing up,[/color]" She said. "[color=gold]...that, or he's gay for his friend Noel Jameson, but admittedly I think there's a low chance of that.[/color]" "[color=gold]Are you serious?[/color]" "[color=gold]Well, if he is gay, Henry owes me...[/color]" "[color=gold]That's not what I meant![/color]" Marliyn scolded her. "[color=gold]This is serious! I want to know who is responsible for this.[/color]" "[color=gold]I don't know, Mari, no one knows, there was a change of partners that day,[/color]" Rosalyn said. "[color=gold]You'd have to ask someone that was there.[/color]" Amelie sniffled, and both girls ceased their bickering for a moment. To her surprise, Amelie hugged her tightly, lower lip quivering. "[color=yellow]Why would anyone do this to him?[/color]" She asked quietly. "[color=gold]I'm sure it was an accident,[/color]" Marilyn assured her. Rosalyn couldn't help but scoff. "[color=gold]From a Gryffindor? I doubt it,[/color]" She muttered. "[color=gold]But I promise, I [I]will[/I] find who is responsible.[/color]" [hr] [center][img]https://78.media.tumblr.com/705b3a8b2e2b0e69448229c81ee0ce69/tumblr_o32cvvmxI11swwx3co2_250.png[/img] [img]http://txt-dynamic.cdn.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjM2LjIwN2UyMC5UbTlsYkNCS1lXMWxjMjl1LjAA/smoother.regular.png[/img][/center] [hr] As much as he insisted that he was in control of the situation, Noel had to admit that he was somewhat jittery as he made his way to the library. The halls were mostly devoid of stragglers at this time of night, with anyone that was walking now having a definite destination in mind. He would greet a few professors as he walked, only coming to a halt as he finally reached the library. Many students were packing up, having finished what they could and deciding to call it a night. The few that remained were buried in their books, eyes focused on their parchments with worried expressions. Noel was glad he didn't aim for perfection, but he had a mission to accomplish. Once he managed to look around, he spotted Demi at the corner. Her supplies were already out, with Demi herself staring out the window. The way the moonlight hit her hair made it look shiny, giving her a mystical look. Intentional or not, it certainly gave her allure, and as Noel approached the table, he found himself trying to take in every aspect of her beauty. Her eyes, her skin, her lips--he found himself wondering what they tasted like as he noticed the sheen to them. Clearing his throat, he made his precense known, not wanting to scare her. "[color=green]Ready to learn![/color]" He announced, happily placing his belongings down. Looking at the seats, he decided to make his first play so to speak, choosing to sit next to her. This would make things a little more tempting, as the close vicinity gave him a good whiff of her perfume. He tried to focus, choosing to examine her notes. "[color=green]How shall we go about this?[/color]"
