Victor was currently stuck on one of the moving staircases, being moved the opposite way he wanted to go.
"Victor." Andrew said as he looked up at him from another staircase not too far away.
"Oh great, what do you want?" He growled.
"I thought you might want to know that Dahila and I have broken up, considering your obvious hate for me."
"Oh so you're giving me an excuse to beat you up?" he asked him sarcastically.
"No, I just thought you'd be happy to know, because you hate me and you think I'm untrustworthy and just a terrible person. So to finish she and I are broken up, so you don't have to be jealous."
"Jealous? Why would I be jealous?" He asked him with crossed arms.
"I'm not sure, you tell me." He murmured.
"I'm not jealous at all. I don't know why you think I'd be jealous of anything," he responded.
"Alright whatever you say." He said chuckling as he started to walk away.
"Did you break her heart? I swear, if I see her crying I'll hunt you down..." He said angrily.
"We both agreed it was for the best." He murmured with a sigh.
"Did you honestly even care at all about her?" he asked him carelessly.
"You're really have the nerve to ask that." He said as he turned around glaring at him.
"Yeah I do," he said glaring right back at him, "I don't think you even gave her a second look."
"Why don't you go to hell." He said.
He quickly took out his wand and pointed it at him. "You're getting me very angry right now. I suggest you apologize and leave Dahlia and I alone."
"Apparently you're not getting the message." He said walking towards him and quickly punching him in the throat.
Victor coughed up some blood then pointed his wand at Andrew, muttering 'Sectumsempra.'
He cursed and staggered back.
Victor coughed up more blood before staggering over to Andrew and looking down at him. "You deserve this," he said as he stepped on his arm to cause more pain then left quickly.
"Why's that?" He asked looking at him with a groan.
Victor had left before he could answer. "Andrew!" Dahlia shouted with a gasp as she ran over to him quickly, "I'm here, I'm here, hold on! I'm looking for the spell to heal you!"
He cursed again and sighed standing up, shakily.
"Stop it! You're making it worse!" She yelled at him as she looked for the spell in her bag, "please sit down!"
He sighed and sat down closing his eyes cursing again.
She took out a small sheet of paper with the Ravenclaw crest on the corner. She muttered the healing spell and instantly his blood began to return into his body.
"Thanks bird." He said sighing and standing up.
"Bird? Wait, where are you going?! You need to go and rest!" She exclaimed.
"I'm going to find Victor again." He said weakly.
"No, stop," she said softly as she ran in front of him and placed her hands on his chest, "You need to go and rest. Please, you're weak and look awful. Let me take care of you. Forget about that idiot."
He nodded and sighed. "Alright." He said softly.
She smiled softly and kissed his cheek, grabbing her bag and helping him up to the hospital wing.

The breeze made her tan skin shiver and she tightened her coat around her body. There weren't many people who sat in the steps that day, but even those few had come with friends.
Myriad was alone again.
((Bella, Myriad is a Gryffindor, 7th year))

Ruby dragged her legs across the stone entrance of the castle. The huge gate was bright open, as if it was toying with her, telling her you can leave anytime you want, only you can't.
She sat down on the first step, and sighed as one of the first spring breeze blew and made her black hair dance. Her hands were bare. Her sleeves were rolled to her elbows and she wore no gloves.
She was getting week again, and the red blood spots were still vividly engraved in her body. She wondered why. Why was this happening to her, why was she still there. She longed for her brother, her mother. She longed for a life.
Her tears felt as rivers that were violently coming down her face, unstoppable.
Well, go figure. It was about time. I haven't cried in years.

Bryssa was walking up from Care of Magical Creatures.
She passed by a huddled figure who was whimpering on the steps and she stopped.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" When the girl turned her head, Bryssa shrieked.
"Ruby!" Dropping to her knees, Bryssa put an arm around Ruby and wiped the tears from her face.
"What- What's wrong?"

Willa walked towards the entrance to the castle with her usual, expressionless face. She thought it would be nice to get some fresh air. When she got outside, she noticed a figure sitting at the top of the steps. Her clothes are unfit for the weather, was Willa's initial thought. This girl's arms were probably going to freeze off anytime soon. Now usually, Willa didn't approach people, especially ones that looked like they wanted to be left alone. The audible whimpering coming from the girl's direction was enough indication of that. But Willa still had a heart. She could feel worry just like anyone else. Maybe it was all the drama going on lately, but she felt this girl was an exception. Willa walked over to the first step and sat next to the girl, deciding not to talk until the girl noticed her.

However, when she turned to face the person sitting next to her, it was a stranger.
She seemed kind but uncomfortable, as if she didn't do this very often.
"I'm sorry." said Ruby. She unrolled her sleeves fast so that the girl wouldn't notice her red spots. Too late.
Willa didn't want the girl to feel uncomfortable, so instead of staring at her, she looked straight ahead. She did catch a glimpse of strange red marks on the girl's arms. Something sounded familiar about this situation, and her mind was trying to grasp the memory, but it kept slipping away. Like a word at the tip of her tongue. "What for?" She asked, almost wanting to laugh. That phrase was so commonly used by people who cry, yet it doesn't make sense. Crying doesn't really cause trouble to anyone. "I would ask if you were okay, but it seems like such a silly question. One you might not feel like answering anyway."

"Life. That's what I'm crying for." she said looking at the scenery. The view was spectacularly appealing. Ruby wanted to start walking that small path and never stop.
She looked at the girl next to her. "I'm Ruby." she said, and smiled a little. She must have thought that Ruby was a freak.
Willa returned the smile with the same amount of cheerfullness Ruby did, to show she understood. "Willa," she said quietly, still not being able to recall what she was missing. That frustrated her.Willa didn't want to pity Ruby. She remembered how much she hated people doing that. It made her feel like her problems were worse than they actually were. "What brings you here?" she asked softly, wanting to show interest without prying too much.
