didn't think the ghosts were that scary at all. One of them were just boasting to him about how they scared another student.

terrified of them! Especially when they come from no where!

would think that she would have been used to it by now.

isn't! She may have been a second year, but she scared easily.

only a third year, but he followed the 'expect something at every turn' motto that had led him pretty good so far.

didn't. She didn't expect things like ghosts. So she just sat hidden away and cried trying to calm herself.

that the image is a little funny. But maybe it was just his morbid sense of humor.

would agree that he has a morbid sense of humor! He was an ass for finding this funny!

kind of wants to see this for himself. Totally not because he just wants to see your face. *Totally* not.

wont look at him!

peeks in, looking with a bemused face as the ghost apologizes and explains that he just couldn't help himself.

tells the ghost to fuck off quietly sobbing to herself with her knees pulled tight to her chest.

watches as the ghost shrugs and floats off. "You can stop now. You aren't still scared, are you?", wasn't *trying* to be mean. He was just_

_stating the facts.

still scared, she trembled hearing the voice. "G-Go away.." she thought it was another ghost.

looks around. "If you'd rather be alone.", he shrugs.

looks up at him. "O-oh.. You're not one of the.." Now she felt stupid.

raises an eyebrow, "One of the what?"

flushes darkly from embarrassment. "A-ah.. A fucking g-ghost.."

spreads out his hands. "I am not. There is nothing scary here now.", he says again.

rubs at her eyes nodding. "Y-you're right.."

turns to leave, "So you can stop crying now."

reaches out, she grabbed his robes, he was scary looking but better then a ghost. "D-don't go.."

pulls her along, still walking. "Then don't stay.", he grunts.

gasps as she was pulled, she forced herself up and followed him.

walks out into the -significantly brighter- halls. "No use in crying.", it was better to move on, wasn't it?

nods wiping at her eyes, feeling childish. "M-Mhmm.. Grazie.."

finally notices that she's a Slytherin.

noticed that he was one a few moments ago. She had pretty much stopped crying, and was just sniffling now.

, "Next time you get scared of something, hex it." It hadn't steered him wrong yet.

nods at this. "I-I'll try." She hated crying like this.

started walking away. There was really nothing else for him to do. At least, not that he knew of.

frowns, she didn't want to be left alone, but she let him go..

that if she doesn't want to be left alone, she should find someone to be with, then.

doesn't have anyone. She couldn't even find her stupid sister.

couldn't find his sister either. Why are sisters so hard to find sometimes?

doesn't know. She worried though.. Her sister for all she knew could have wandered into the forbidden forest.

that that's something one would report to a teacher or something. In any case, he's heading to the Slytherin common room.

follows him, she didn't mean to, but she wanted to go back to the common room.

immediately heads towards the seats in the corners of said room.

(( Okay, a crying Chiara is adorable, not gonna lie. -shanked- ))

(She is.. I love Chi >w<

(EJRBSA;FASBG FACE )

(( Ah, you'll have to share cute pictures of her with me, then. = w = ))

(Okay~)

goes to sit in front of the fire pulling her knees back up to her chest.

settled down. There were some other Slytherins scattered here and there, with a comfortable hum of noise in the background. Surely there_

_was no need for her to be frightened of anything in *here*, so he settled down himself, pulling out a book for some light studying, though_

_not without occasionally glances at the door. He had to be vigilant if his sister ever appeared, after all. ((Um, close it anyway you_

_like. I'm horrible with that. XD *overshot it, this time* OTL ))
