Damien walked along the path and looked around.
LilyBelle noticed another person present on the path. She whipped her head around to find Damien. They had not ended on great terms because of the issues with Victor. Lil walked up to him as she smiled and said hey.
He smiled and hugged her, "It's been awhile."
"I know. How's married life?" She asked, happy to be speaking to him.
"Treating me well dear." He said smiling.
((Sorry, I was at rehearsal for musical.))"That's great!" Lil smiled, gesturing him to walk along the path.
"How's your love life going?" He asked walking with her.

Ruby froze as she saw Morth walking the path with a couple of his usual followers next to him. She took out her wand reflexively and held it firmly to her side.
Not knowing if making a scene would be wise, she quickly hid it and grabbed Dimitri's hand. In a swift, elf-like movement she cut through a path on their right, which was basically empty.
Did he see me? though Ruby, going out of her mind.
It was only later that she realized she had dragged Dimitri with her.
Shoot...

The tears left her eyes and she realized she was crying not from fear but from shock mostly.
Her hand still on Dimitri's hand.
"I'm sorry.." she said pulling her hand away from him.
Mod
"Run until we get to the entrance of Hogsmeade."
She started running without even checking if the laughs were those of Morth and his buddies. She couldn't risk Dimitri's involvement in this. Telling him was another story, but actually meeting Morth was far more dangerous.
They ran and ran, until the hid in a street right before the entrance. They stopped to catch a breath.
After while Ruby looked at Dimitri. He was looking at her too, silent and... understanding.
He was the first person who didn't ask her questions about all this.
"Are you okay?" she asked worried. She kept checking to see if they were followed.
Mod
They both walked in silence until they reached the castle's entrance.
"I guess I'll see you in Potions class?" said Ruby, as a farewell.
Mod
"We must part ways now. I have to run to the Common Room. Just.. do me one favor okay? Stay away from Nicolas Morth. You must know him since he's in your year."
Ruby warned him trying to look indiferrent even though everything inside her was boiling.
"Bye."
And then she left, leaving Dimitri behind. She took a turn and didn't look back, heading to her safe haven at last.

His perfectly neat coat was on place, and his green and silver Slytherin scarf was wrapped around his nekc, making it seem it was more like a snake that cloth.
That frozen morning, Nicolas was determined to meet Ruby Thornwall once again. Even if she would come with Mr. Hayden, he had to see her one more time. He stood there, looking the other students heading towards Hogsmeade. Some girls waved at him, and he waved back giving them a smile. They all giggled and left and with them so did his smile.
He felt as something was off. Nicolas knew that Mrs. Thornwall would go to Hogsmeade for sure, but where was she?
((So they way I see it, Morth doesn't know anything about what happened to Ruby. I had in mind that her Father poisoned her while she was in Hogsmeade and Morth had nothing to do with it. Still Henry can meet with Dimitri and inform him or Dimitri could witness Henry confronting Morth and then he would ask questions.))
Mod
Ruby must be coming... he thought, his obsession with her allowing him to feel a bit of happiness.
"Alone in this cold day, Mr. Hayden?" he said to him, with a smirk across his face, his arms crossed and his body stable, not moving to face Dimitri.
((I like it Lyra. Okay, so what if Henry sees them, but keeps hidden to listen to their conversation. Two things could happen. 1. Morth says something that makes Henry think he's the one who poisoned Ruby(which is what he had already thought) or 2. Dimitri says something that Henry misinterprets, making him think Dimitri was the one who poisoned her. Either way I think it work, given that Henry doesn't trust Morth and doesn't know Dimitri well enough to trust him))
Mod
((Okay. That's fine with me, but I'll wait and see what Grace thinks. I was thinking along the lines of Dimitri talking about how they had drinks together and that Morth wouldn't be seeing her ever again--because Dimitri wants to protect her from him, but Henry wouldn't know that. But it would work either way; just wanted to know what y'all thought (: ))Henry walked down one of the busy paths to Hogsmeade, kicking at rocks and scowling at anyone who passed him. He had been looking for Morth all to no avail. When he did spot him, he seemed to mysteriously disappear.
He had been visiting Ruby for the past few days; her condition was still very serious. She hadn't woken up yet, as far as he knew.
Something inclined him to look up. Voices.
Of course it would be that easy. On another path that intertwined with his stood a boy--conversing with none other than Nicolas Morth.
Henry's instinct was to walk up there to confront him. But he had a better idea.
Keeping behind the village houses and ducking behind trees that were along the path, he snuck towards the two until he was close enough to hear what they were saying.

Nicolas smirk transformed into a laugh, his face looing greatly entertained.
"Oh, Mr. Hayden, you amuse me beyond imagination." he said, as he stopped leaning to the wooden door, and turned to face Dimitri.
"I know that you are not afraid Mr. Hayden, but that is the exact reason why you'll never be able to win. Now, who told you that Ruby Thornwall needs a bodyguard?" said Nicolas smiling.
"She'll be fine eventually, and she'll realize that her place in the world is with me."
Mod
"Easy there, Mr. Hayden. I am well aware of your "need" for friends, but you should attach yourself to close to Ruby or you'll end up as collateral damage.
Speaking of whom, she doesn't seem to enjoy your company very much, since she isn't here with you."
Nicolas had to know where Ruby was. And if someone knew, that'd be this person.
Mod
"What makes you believe that I'am aware of Mrs. Thornwall's location?" he said, trying to remain carefree, as if he didn't really care.
She'll be fine eventually...It sounded like Morth knew exactly where Ruby was. Henry's hand tightened around his wand.
Mod
"Why don't you join us if you're so interested in our conversation?" he asked to the figure behind the trees. Nicolas was intrigued.
Who was that?
Henry bit back a curse. Fine. He'd join them.Before Morth could even finish his sentence, Henry was on him. He pulled back his fist, delivering a fast blow to his nose. Training his wand on Morth's neck, he grabbed a fistful of his shirt.
"You think it's fun...to prey on innocent people?"
He didn't worry about the other bloke watching them. Judging by their conversation, Henry didn't have to worry about his interfering.
Mod
Nicolas felt the blood running from his nose reaching his mouth, and turned his head slightly to spit it out. Then he face the other guy. Henry Thorn. He knew him, he'd been transferred from Dumstrang.
"Well..." said Nicolas coughing. "I'm not going to say I'm pleased with your acquaintance, however, I am doomed to ask who on earth do you think you are?"
Nicolas pushed Thorn with his free hand and before knowing it he pulled out his wand and contained himself from lunging it into Thorn's throat.
"Now then, may I ask why the urge to attack me when you don't even know me?" said Nicolas, his one hand holding his wand and his other pulling out a handkerchief out of his pocket to stop the bleeding of his nose.
((5th year Ravenclaw))Henry felt grim satisfaction at the blood coming from his nose.
He nodded to Dimitri without taking his eyes away from Morth.
"Don't pretend," he spat through gritted teeth, "you don't know."
Mod
"Are you completely insane? You go and attack me and you expect me to know the reason?" he said, safely taking a step back from him, his wand still firmly gripped, so that he would be able to see what Hayden was doing as well.
People gazed at them and didn't walk towards their path. More and more students arrived but Ruby Thornwall was nowhere to be found.
"Ruby Thornwall does know who to approach. But she has to check in with their mental state before befriending them." said Nicolas, smiling.
Mod
Nicolas eyes flashed worry for a second. But then it was gone. He simply waited for an explanation.
