There was a reason no one dared to piss Ari off; there was reason her hair would change colour by her mood but was Severus prepared for the horror about to unfold or would he, perhaps, find it some sort of challenge?
Ari's wand flew from her grip after Severus' spell, her hair changed from its normal sky blue to a bright red, her fists balled as she glared at Severus threateningly as her anger grew. "I. Wasn't. Going... to. Attack you." she breathed.
"I don't believe you." Severus said, coldly, "pulling your wand out without reason now, are we?" his wand, now pointed at the ground shook in his hand as his fury grew; it was only a matter of time before it grew out of his control. "Your ways really astound me." he sneered as he looked down at her clenched fists. "Going to hit me then?" he sneered. "I could do it, you know..." he threatened as his eyes flickered to his wand. 'You can't attack a wandless student, Severus...' he reminded himself, fighting to conceal his growing anger.
Ari struggled to control herself, the fact she could feel her 'other side' unleashing itself through her didn't help; it couldn't happen again could it? Of course it could... "You asked me what was in my pocket. I was just bloody showing you it was my wand!" she snapped.
"Nothing gives right for a student to pull their wand out at a teacher, Dumbledore!" Severus spat.
"I WASN'T!" Ari yelled. She looked down, her bangs covered her face and her nails dug into her palms; she looked as though she were about to kill him.
"Don't lie. To me; I know your plan, Dumbledore and TRUST ME! You can't fool me!" Severus snapped at her. Severus watched as her hair turned black; he could see a smirk from underneath her bangs; if only he knew...
Severus raised his wand as Ari stood, silently in front of him, smirking at him wickedly, he watched her every move. "What now, Dumbledore? Using some dark magic, are we? I can play at this game too!" he said and readied his wand.
Ari didn't move, "Do you honestly think that innocent, little Ariana would use dark magic?"
"Innocent, little... Ariana..." Severus sneered, "You little brat!" he spat, "if you call giving Alihotsy to a teacher, setting dung bombs and all sorts of Weasley products in a teacher's office, innocent... then you have another thing coming... for you." his lips curled into a cruel smirk, "I suggest you watch your back, Dumbledore."
"Whoever are you talking to, Severus? I surely didn't do any of that." she wasn't Ariana speaking; her 'other side' had unleashed through her anger; possessing her as it did last time with her boyfriend Conner Thanatos; he was the only one who could stop this; he, however wasn't around.
"Don't lie! It was you who caused all the trouble around here; you admitted it!" Severus spat at her; his rage flew through him; he struggled to dismiss the temptation to use an unforgiveable on her; the temptation tormented him, though he knew better.
Ari calmly walked over to her wand, bent down and picked it up with her back turned to him, "You know... you should be more careful who you pick fights with." she said calmly, though, there was something menacing about her.
"You... should be more careful who you're talking to." Through his anger, he flicked his wand, without meaning to or knowing he would, he muttered the words, "Stupefy!" and flicked his wand at her.
Ari merely flicked her wand in front of her and deflected the spell; she turned around to face him; her hair and eyes as black as the blackest midnight sky, matched eachother.
'Another good blocker...' Severus said to himself, surprised by her blocking skills, "Angry, are we?" he smirked, having no idea just how bad of a sign this was. "I shouldn't see a need; I've done nothing... to you." his fury bubbled up inside him as though someone was boiling it in a cauldron deep, within him; the temptation to use an unforgiveable's intensity grew, though he knew he couldn't... unfortunately.
"Like I care." Ari said calmly, "You actually did me a favour. You let me out." as calm as she was, there was still something dangerous about her; she had no fear of him; she knew full well that he couldn't use any unforgiveable on her and would actually fight back... unlike the weakling, Thanatos.
"I let you... out?" Severus asked, intrigued. "Secret identity, are we?" he sneered, hoping he could hold his thirst to use an unforgiveable in. He felt a rush of competitiveness run through him- one only a Slytherin would have, knowing he had an equal match.
"Not really a secret." Ari shrugged and pointed her wand at him, "Stupefy!"
