Mary was walking down the corridor toward the Green Houses when she trips over a foot and her books sprawl across the floor. Not even bothering to look to see who tripped her she starts to pick up the books, only looking up when a hand picks up her last book before she could. Standing she turns to face Erik who was reading the back of the book.

"Why would you want to read a book about some muggle girl's father defending some black dude?" Mulciber asks even though he really wasn't interested in the book at all, "What does that have to do with a mockingbird anyway?"

"I didn't know you could even read, Mulciber." Mary says sarcastically and holds her hand out for the book. "Now I am quite busy, so just give me it back and I can be on my way."

Erik holds the book high over her head, "What are you going to give me for it?"

Having more dignity that what he did, instead of jumping for it she just moves her hand to join the other in hugging the books she had in her arms. "How about a hex… or maybe you want four holes in your other arm to match the first four?"

He moves the book to behind his back and with his other hand he fingers her hair with a smirk. "I was thinking something more personal, something that you don't mind sharing with half the other guys in this school."

"You'll have to Imperio me before I shagged you, git." Mary says in disgust. "You know what. Keep the book. I can get another copy."

She turns away and goes to walk away, but was stopped abruptly when Erik grabs her arm and pushes her against the wall. Pinning her there he leans in to whisper in her ear. "I will get you McDonald, and when I do they will find you dead in the forest."

Mary's expression turns to one of hatred and brings up her knee into his groin. When he pulls away in pain she takes the To Kill a Mockingbird book from him and continues on her route to the Green Houses.
