Next Generation: Their Story
Lorcan
"C'mon, give me all you've got. I promise I won't scream." Lorcan said winking.
"I'm not sure about this. I've been practicing with Roxie and I won't go easy on you." Liza replied shaking her head. The day had started out easy enough. Lorcan had been bored and his brother was in the hospital wing and Roxie was with him. And honestly, he was hoping that they'd confess to each other if they were alone. So, he had looked for Liza and found her in the Great Hall participating in a game of wizard chess. She had been soundly whipping tails, but had left easily enough. Lorcan had been teasing her about it when she threatened to hex him. So, that was where they were now. He was standing a few feet from her, wanting her to throw a curse at him. They were in an empy corridor and Liza kept glancing around nervously.
"Just do it already, or we'll get caught." Lorcan snorted rolling his eyes,
"Alright," she mumured. "But no complaints later." She shot a quick Bat Bogey Hex and simultaneously a few laughing Slytherins came around the corner, behind Liza. Lorcan, not noticing this, deflected the spell and hit an errant Slytherin. There was blinding silence for a moment, before the Slytherins all whipped out their wands and started firing spells. Liza and Lorcan, had anticipated this and fired their own spells. They worked well together, despite the arguments they were constanly in. They stood back to back when the Slytherins surrounded them, in hopes of knocking them out.
"Duck!" yelled Liza as a spell came at her, to fast for her to she and Lorcan ducked and turned, switching opponents. The spell they had both avoided, hit a dueling Slytherin, right in the face. It was a Stunning spell.
"Well, shite." Lorcan mumured catching a glimpse at their opponents.
Suddenly, Liza plunged a hand in her robes, and pulled out some powder and threww it on the floor. Darkness enveloped the corridor, and the spells stopped. Liza grabbed Lorcan's hand and tore off down the other way, and ran around the corner.
"What was that?" Lorcan yelled as they ran through crowds.
"Instant Peruvian Darkness Powder! Roxie gave it to me!" she shouted back.
"Why do you have it with you?" Lorcan asked puzzled, as they started to stop.
"Roxie and I were going to prank her cousin James, but I figured that we should get away." Liza panted, her hands on her knees. Lorcan grinned and pulled her up.
"Well. it was bloddy brilliant. Didn't know you had it in you." he said winking at her again.
She flushed and looked down.
"I didn't use to be so good. But, when I went to Roxie's for the summer we practiced." Liza explained her breath evening out.
"Wel you very nearly got me. But, I deflected it." Lorcan bragged.
"Yeah, and you got us in this mess in the first place. You know that they're gonna find us later, right? They hold grudges, those Slytherins." Liza fretted.
"Well, we can take them. Plus, we're loads smarter, what could go wrong?" Lorcan said.
"Lot of things! You ought to know better than to say that! Everything could go wrong." Liza said seriously.
"Aw, don't be like that. Anyway, I'm hungry. What time is it?" Lorcan asked, slinging an arm around her shoulders. She made no move to remove it. Instead she glanced at her watch.
"Almost time for dinner, just another hour. I wonder how Lysander's doing?" Liza asked absentmindedly.
"Wanna go see? The only reason he's still there is Roxie and Madam Promfrey." Lorcan replied, diverting their direction for the hospital wing.
"Really?" Liza asked, her eyebrows raising.
"Oh yeah. Roxie was all `Lysander Scamander? If you leave before you're absolutely better, I curse you into oblivion!'"Lorcan imitated. Liza laughed and Gave Lorcan a significant look.
"When will they finally get together? All this dancing around the hippogriff is just silly." Liza said, rolling her eyes.
"I'm with you on that one. Bloddy annoying they are. For two Ravenclaws, they're pretty ridiculous." Lorcan said shaking his head. They were at the hospital wing and Lorcan opened the door and let Liza through first.
"Urgh. Stupid Slytherins. Don't worry Ly, I'll get 'em. Oh, hey Lorcan, hey Liza!" Roxie said looking at the two.
"Hey. How are you Ly?" Lorcan asked his head tilted towrds his brother.
"I'm alright, really." Lysander said offhandedly, though his voice was hoarse.
Lorcan knew that he was lying. In Herbology, a Slytherin had tried flining undiluted bubotuber pus at Roxie, but she'd dropped her quill and had bent to pick it up. Lysaneder was hit in the face, and hands. His face was still covered in bolis and sores, and worst of all, he'd swallowed some by acciddent. He was much better than he'd been at first, but he would be in the hospital wing for a few days. Proffesor had been so beside herself with anger that she'd taken off thirty points from Slytherin, and given Montague(Roxie's would-be attacker) two weeks of detention.
"You are not alright, that bloddy git, flining bubotuber pus everywhere! The nerve. You save me Lysander. It would've been me her in the bed."
"Looking quite terrible." Lorcan added. Roxie and Liza gave him angry looks.
"He's all right. He once helped dad fight off a shpinx. It was awesome. Frightening, but awesome." Lorcan grinned at his brother.
"Honestly, you'd think that you would care more. Your brother is in the hospital wing, and he won't be better for a couple of days!" Liza exclaimed indignantly.
"Now, really! He needs quiet." Mamdam Promfrey fretted. GIving Lysander some medicine. He coughed a bit and thanked her.
"I'm fine really." Lysander said, shruggin, and wincing a little.
"I'm sorry that you got with with the pus. If I'd've knowm you'd be hit, I would have stayed where I was." Roxie promised. laening in. Lorcan snorted.
"You didn't even know it was coming at you." Liza pointed out.
"I know, but. . . ugh, I'm sorry, okay?" she relented, looking quite harassed.
"C'mon. Let's work on that Herbology essay," Loracan mumbled, knowing that his brother would like to be alone with Roxie. "See, you guys later." he said waving. Neither of them looked away.
The walk to the library was short and uneventful. They worked in silence, and helped each other occasionally.
"You know. You should take Ancient Runes, with Roxie, Lysander and I. It's kinda fun." Lorcan intoned, breaking the silence.
"Oh, I don't know. I enjoy Arithmancy. It's amazing." Liza replied, her eyes glazing over. Lorcan shook his head.
"It's just numbers." Lorcan deadpanned.
"Very interesting numbers!" Liza argued, her face flushing. Lorcan laughed, quietly. He didn't want Madam Pince to harass him.
"Well, you just examine all these old symbols. Are you ever going to need that?" Liza snorted, he rface still very pink.
"What's the point of Arithmancy anyways?" Lorcan asked genuinely curious.
"Well what we do is-" her words were cut off by a snarlin, angry voice.
"Well, look what we have here. The Ravenclaws who think they can curse us and get away with it." the boy said, his eyes, flashing with steely anger.
"Urgh, why do we keep running into you?" Liza said exaspperated.
"What was that? You got something to say?" a Slytherin asked, stepping forward. He looked a mess. It took her a moment, but Liza recognized him as the Slytherin she'd hit with her Bat Bogey Hex. She cursed under her breath. Just then, Lorcan stepped forward, his voice persuasive, and his smile charming. The Slytherins didn't seem to think so.
"Listen, this can all be resolved with an intelligent discussion, down byt he lake. How 'bout it gentlemen?" Lorcan said looking at each person in turn, though he lingered on the obvious leader of the people who stood in front of them.
"We don't wanna talk. Unless it's with our wands, of course." one replied.
"Well, gentlemen, I assure you that we won't be doing anymore dueling today. I'm rather tired of you lot, and I quite think that I'd have moer fun with an actual challenge." Lorcan explained.
"Why you little-"
"What are you doing! Are you fighting in my library? How dare you?" Madam Pince wailed, glaring at the Slytherin's wands, that were out, unlike Lorcan and Liza's.
"W-we weren't." A Slytherin pleaded.
"OUT! OUT! No respect for the library!" She yelled, makuing books chase them out, yelping as the books hit their marks.
She turned on Lorcan and Liza. Her nostrils were wide, and her mouth white. Her eyes were bulging, making her look quite mad.
"We were just leaving!" Liza interjected and grasped Lorcan's hand dragging him out.
"You know you could have gotten us killed? Why'd you taunt them?" Liza demanded, her hair standing on end. Lorcan looked at her for amoment before bursting into laughter.
"You, l-look so, cr-crazy! Your h-hair!" Lorcan gasped between guffaws.
"What? What are you talking about?" Liza said reaching up to touch her. She gasped.
"You look, ridiculous!" Lorcan exclaimed.
"Damn," Liza mumbled, and let her hair come down. "You know, you're very mean, don't you?" Liza sighed, though she was grinning.
"Oh, but, dear, you don't care." Lorcan answered, slinging his arm around her.
"Eh." Liza snorted. Lorcan rolled his eyes, and led Liza to the common room.
"You know we forgot our bags right?" Lorcan said grinning.
Liza's etyes went wide, and her mouth dropped open. "Ugh, can we just summon them?" she pleaded, not wanting to go back.
"Okay. Anything you want." Lorcan said.
She smiled. He winked.
