Kyle spotted the tie flapping in the breeze. He guessed there weren't many people who'd be hanging their tie like that except as a signal. He grinned, and thought, "How did she not end up in Slytherin?" He took the tie down and walked into the outcropping and found Siobhan. "Hey, quick question, how long do you want to keep up our fight ruse? I mean obviously at least until detention." Kyle leaned against a tree, letting his book bag drop to the ground.

Kyle's potion was just shy of perfect. He wished he could have another go at it. But he bottled it up and turned it in anyway. He and Sam walked to lunch together. Kyle was glad Slughorn ignored him. That was an advantage of the fight, he wouldn't get any extra attention from Slughorn. Kyle could tell that Slughorn didn't like families with ties to Voldemort. Apparently Maggie had heard that Malfoy was annoyed at not having been invited to the so called Slug Club. Kyle hadn't dared mentioned it to Maggie that Siobhan had been, and the only reason she wouldn't be going was because of their shared detention.

Kyle ate lunch quickly. He wanted to walk around the lake again. A part of him hoped Siobhan would go out there too. If she did they'd be able to have a few whispered words before going back to "fighting". He wanted to ask her opinion on how long they should keep the ruse up.

The gathered people stare down at the planet, or is it up at the planet? Spacial differences being subjective in space that is unclear. As they watch, Tessa having pressed forward to see the planet to where she could touch the glass if she desired, the planet lights up. It looks as if all the lights on the planet are turned on simultaneously and then the light spreads. A part of Tessa knows exactly what that means, another part tries to deny it.

Just as suddenly as the lights came on, it is all gone. The planet shows no lights now. A shiver runs down Tessa's spine. Those around her sound panicked. One lady starts hyperventilating, she collapses to the ground and begs a god that is not listening for mercy. Tessa wonders "Is this not a mercy, we are alive on this... space station, and not below on the planet that is gone." A young man tries to comfort the crying woman, but she is inconsolable.

Tessa glances around the gathered people, hoping for a face that triggers something. There is of course nothing. Maybe that is even more of a mercy. The faces of loved ones are unrecognized in the gathered crowd, her heart twists, that means they were on the planet. Tessa spins around and touches the glass. It is cool and unyielding, though being released into space now would be no mercy.

She's just about to say something when a PA system crackles on.

Ah, sorry got distracted last night. I will get a post up today during my lunch.

Kyle walked slowly digesting what had happened. Snape had given them both detention at the same time. That was an odd reaction. He didn't pick sides. Now he'd have to wait until Friday to see what happened then.

Kyle darted into the class claiming the free seat next to Sam just as the bell rang.
"Dude, I heard your fight." Sam gave Kyle an odd look, one between sympathy and 'it's about damn time'. Kyle shook his head, because Slughorn walked in.

"All right today we'll be working on the Cure for Boils potions, please get your things out and start." Slughorn sunk into his chair and watched as the students started preparing their potion.

"That's rich coming from someone who claimed to be a Slytherin." Kyle resisted looking at Professor Snape. He curled his hands into fists "I should have known you were a blood traitor as soon as the hat put you in Gryffindor bunch of muggle lovers."

Snape had, at Kyle calling Siobhan a blood traitor, shifted. His eyes flickered between the two kids. They didn't know he could 'read' their minds, but the limited prep they had put into this made their reactions more real. Siobhan's tears sealed the deal.

"That's enough. McCarthy, for that comment you have dentition Friday." Kyle frowned. Snape had given him a dentition, interesting.

"I just meant that-" Kyle tried to protest.

"I don't care what you meant. You will have dentition with me promptly at six pm Friday night. MacFusty you too better be in my office promptly at six Friday night." Kyle fought back any other comments in case Snape decided the punishment wasn't good enough. "Now both of you go or you'll be late for Potions."

Kyle caught on, Yvette was the mudblood Siobhan had mentioned. "I thought you were going to sit next to me." Kyle's voice was raised and he sounded hurt, "You're going to sit next that mudblood instead?" His heart raced. As he said the word mudblood, he let all the venom he had learned toward muggleborns ooze out into his voice.

Professor Snape, who had just been about to step out of the classroom, paused and watched the pair. Kyle and Siobhan could have no way of knowing what was going through Snape's head. Kyle hoped though that it would be something that would show his treasonous ways.

Apollo has asked me to continue this RP. I will get a new post up tonight to move it along, if everyone is still in.

Kyle nodded, "Okay I'll take my cue from you then." The words had finished leaving his mouth and the bell rang just as Professor Snape walked into the classroom. Silence filled the room with the Professor's appearance.

"We'll be discussing the most basic forms of protection in this class. There are two parts to magic offensive and defensive." Professor Snape went on to explain two important basic spells. The Red sparks and Green sparks spells and how they could be applicable for both offensive and defensive situations. "For homework, practice these spells. Preferably outside, do not point it at each other." Professor Snape's voice at this warning seemed bored. "I also expect a twelve inch essay on the differences between offensive and defensive magic, don't list spells, explain how they are different." The bell rang dismissing the class.

Kyle gathered his stuff, and waited for Siobhan's cue.
