The Steps
Annalise looked over at her friend, to see tears in her eyes. Great, now she had brought about sadness to her friend. She hugged Gen, as tears gathered in her own eyes. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I understand why he means the world to you. He means the world to me too. And if he chooses you than- than I guess it just wasn't meant for us to be." Anna said, trying not to sound upset.
Gen gagged "For goodness bloody sake!" she said exasperatedly "If he 'choose.'" she made air quotes "me then I'd tell him to go to h***," she flushed, "sorry.
Gen gagged but hugged her friend back fiercely a tear slipping down her cheek for Anna, she surreptitiously swiped it away and continued "For goodness sake! If he 'choose' me." she made air quotes "Then I'd tell him to go to h***," she flushed "sorry. But what I'm saying is, you love him, he loves you. You're both happy. And you didn't hurt me." she groused annoyed and sat back on the steps.
Anna laughed. "Sorry. I guess I am being a bit stupid. You're right." She said, shaking her head to clear it. "Sorry I assumed all that, but well you two have been spending a lot of time together."
Gen smiled, "You don't know the half of it. Too much time if you ask me." she said smile widening into a broad grin, it was a genuine grin like the one you wore when you had a honest to goodness friend. She clapped Anna on the back "I hope you don't Eriq too much of a git when you see him next though." she teased.

((Ohhh. Sorry Halle that is one of many times I leave out a word. What I meant was "I hope Eriq isn't too much of a git when you see him next though." Apologies!))
((It's fine! Just wasn't sure what you meant there! Thanks!))Anna laughed, resting her head on Gen's shoulder. "He probably won't be, at least he usually isn't."
((Yep.))Gen smiled and gave Anna a hug "Probably not." she agreed "But you never know with gits." she went on in a teasing tone. "He's passable at least with you." Genevieve laughed. "I'm glad you understand." she said in a quieter voice.
Anna smiled, and returned the hug. "Yeah. I'm glad you've been there for him Gen. I tried to be, but I guess he preferred somebody else." She said shrugging.
Gen stiffened "Oh no. So much for un-" she cut herself off "He doesn't, I swear Anna." she beseeched and sighed "Listen, first chance you get Annalise go and talk to him okay? And," a grin quirked at her mouth "a good tongue-lashing from me. Alright?"
Anna laughed, but was wondering what Gen was going to say before she cut herself off. Oh, well. She wouldn't push it. "Okay, Gen. I will."
Gen smiled and sat up, standing she stretched and looked to Anna "I'd best be going." she looked out to the grounds and to her pocketwatch "Blast. Ancient Runes in a few moments. I'll see you soon!" she called over her shoulder as she turned and dashed through the doors.((Exit Genevieve.))

Jordan walked around the place and sighed. She looked around the place.
((Right sorry!))
"I love your accent." He said.
"I love your accent." He said.
((Okey-dokey! Don't be sorry as I didn't mean it as a order :|))Siobhan laughed and smiled down at him on the step below hers. The music from the summoned orchestra drifted across the flat-relatively flat grounds and onto the stone, "Thanks," she said softly, Siobhan's mind drifted back to her home, cozy little brick cottage and ivy on it, pond perfect for skating.
When she blinked she realized her eyes had tears in them.
Zach nodded and smiled, then realized she had tears and squeezed her hand. "Are you alright?" He asked softly.
((Burn. Be back!))
Siobhan hurriedly scrubbed a tear from her face and looked up brightly. "I am." she confirmed, "Just thinking of home," she put her fist on her chin and looked around, "not gotten homesick in a while." she murmured and straightened her shoulders. "Where are you from?-besides boring old British." she smiled.
Zach nudged her and laughed.
"I'm from Brighton." He answered. "I lived there until I was 11. Guessing you don't want to hear my backstory." He shrugged.
"I'm from Brighton." He answered. "I lived there until I was 11. Guessing you don't want to hear my backstory." He shrugged.
Siobhan creased her brow and frowned, "I do." she said stubbornly, scolding Zach. "Why wouldn't I, goodness knows." her face cleared, "Ah! How is it there?" she asked, "Bright, sunny, vacationers abound..." she started.
"Lots of tourists." He laughed. Then Zach sighed, and thought for a moment. "Alright. I'll tell you my backstory.
I have four brothers and four sisters. Im the only one blood related to my mother, everyone else either came with my stepfather or were adopted.
When I was young, my magic would get pretty out of hand. If I ever got upset or mad, I would be pretty destructive. My mum never knew why, until we received our letter from Hogwarts. My mum sat me down and talked to me about it, asking whether or not I'd like to go. I loved being with my family at the time, and to be honest I was scared. I was scared of being on my own. So I got upset and... I nearly burnt our entire house down. Not on purpose of course. But after that my mum sent me packing and I came here. I've been working on my temper problems ever since, but it's hard." After he finished, he sighed.

Siobhan had went down a step and put a hand around Zach's shoulders, in her mind she was reflecting how handsome he looked on the steps.She didn't know what to say. "I hope you don't regret confiding that," she said. "I'm glad it was remedied by the Hogwarts letter." she said sincerely and squirmed, "I can't offer much feedback. Sorry." she told him, awkwardly.
Zach smiled and put his arm around her waist. "No need for words. But thank you." He said. "Want to know something though? I haven't had a whole lot of trouble controlling my temper since I met you."
Siobhan caught her breath. "You're welcome." she answered quietly. "Thank you. I feel glad to hear that." she sighed and tucked her skirt around her legs bringing them back to the steps, she swept hair from her eyes and then took it behind her head into a bun, puffy like a cloud or a balloon. "What? Don't tell me I'm that ridiculous in it." she said defensively, a smile starting.
Zach smiled. "No, no, of course not!" He winked. "You look beautiful."
Siobhan flushed and started to speak a few times before she regained control of her vocal capacities, "Oh," she made a little ee-ing sound, "Thanks! You look handsome too." she replied in kind.((12:30, I've got to go. :(. Thanks for RPing Andigirl! I'll be back on when my eyes recover and my literary appetite is sated ;)))
(And maybe when we return from shopping.)
((Backity back!))
Becca walked out onto the steps, and immediately she was bombarded by the paparazzi. 'They must have already heard,' Becca thought to herself. She stood on the top of the steps while the reporters quieted down. "Ms. Andrade, we heard about your divorce; how are you taking it?" Someone asked. "I feel fine. Yeah it stung a little, but I'm fine. I don't hate Mr. Jackal or his girlfriend," Becca answered calmly. "Your entire family fortune and your adopted daughter were literally ripped away from you. How do you and your family
*cope with this stress?" "We are doing great. We needed to work a little anyways. And as for my daughter, she's taking it step by step," she answered. "What's next for you, Ms. Andrade? Do you plan on getting married again?" "Um, I'm not sure where I'll go from here. And I don't plan on getting married at all. Its just too much emotional stress for me," she replied. "How have you been so strong these last couple of days?" "I'm not strong at all. I just knew I had to forgive and forget. For my daughter, my family, and the relationship between Mr. Jackal and his girlfriend. I know that its my responsibility to make sure my daughter is living in the healthiest environment she can, and me crying isn't exactly something I want my daughter to see." "You said you had to "forgive amd forget", does this mean that you've definitely lost that love you shared with Mr. Jackal?" "Well I'm not even sure what we had was even real, but I know that what I felt was real. But like I said, its very immature to end up hating people. So I just decided to push out those memories and make room for the memories with my daughter, my family, and my friends." The reporters snapped millions of photos and parchment was scribbled on furiously. Then they left in a large herd. Becca sat down and took a deep breath. She let it out in a quick exhale and slouched down. "Well that was interesting," she muttered.
A one-legged Judas with crutches on each side of him walked well more like hobbled up the steps. His head down, clothes tattered and the clothes themselves were just rags to begin with the only way one would recognize him is when he talked. Slowly he glanced around some looked at him some looked away from him.
Becca looked at the young man on crutches. "Um, would you like some help?" She asked him politely.
"I'm fine, thank you though." Judas said looking at her knowingly.
Becca nodded and started to walk back in the castle.
And Becca." Judas said looking at her.
Becca turned around confused. "How do you know my name? I've never seen you in my life," she replied quietly.
"You just don't recognize me." Judas said. "No surprise there though I've changed a lot since our last time meeting."
Becca realized his voice. "Judas? Oh my God, Judas!" She said while running to him. "What happened to you?" She asked him with worry.
((yep))
"Calm down I just got attacked by a dark wizard the one who controlled me but he's dead though if your wondering how I killed him." Judas said in a monotone. "Other than that I've been hiding away from some people not going to say there names though word spreads quickly around here, can't risk it."

Andi walked down the steps and saw Becca. She smiled and waved, before realizing that there was a boy beside Becca. She walked up and smiled.
"Hello Becca." She said and looked at the boy. Why did he seem so familiar?
"Hello Becca." She said and looked at the boy. Why did he seem so familiar?
((Thanks.))Phoenix walked down the steps and saw Becca. "Hey Becca." She said
Becca have them both a small smile. Then she turned back to Judas. "I'm so happy to see you again," she said while giving him a small hug, "you missed so much."
Phoenix looked at andi and raised her eye brows. "Who's that?" She mouthed to andi.
Andi looked at Phoenix and shrugged.
"Hi. I don't believe we've met. I'm Andi." She said with a smile, holding her hand out.
"Hi. I don't believe we've met. I'm Andi." She said with a smile, holding her hand out.
Judas smiled a bit. "Good to hear someone did, so how have you been I mean besides the divorce."
"How do you know about that?" She whispered sadly.
Eventually she sighed and started softly "Okay. Annalise sometimes I think he matters the world to me. Not like you though. You love him," she told her friend, linking her hands across her knees and gazing out onto the grounds in the fading afternoon "I think I fancy him sometimes. But when he is important to me, is when he is my friend." she stopped simply and looked to Annalise nearly in tears.
