Closed Meddling with the Future

[Tempest Vero]

Tempest looked inside the trophy case and stared at the plaque that bore her name from her one successful feat at duelling. She had sucked the past few years, but the Slytherin was determined to kick everyone else down these last two years. She had the guts, she just needed the determination. The Slytherin glanced over and saw the Halloween costume winners, the one time she and June had one, and let out a disgusted sound. Her cat costume was awful, and she can't believe she was seen in public like that. The sixth year really wanted to just steal the plaque so no one would ever know and stared at the case, wondering if she should just break the glass or attempt to unlock it. It couldn't be that easy, could it?

 

[Santiago Torres]

Santiago wanted to get out of the castle. He needed some fresh air and he knew cutting through the trophy room could save him some time. He wasn't sure where his final destination was, the lawn? The lake? Maybe he'd go all the way out to the cliffs. But as desperate as he felt he slowed and eventually stopped when he saw Tempest looking at the trophy case. He didn't know her well but he had seen her hang out with June before. He knew he should probably ignore her but his curiosity got the better of him. He walked up behind her quietly. "Reminiscing on past victories?" he asked smugly when he spotted the dueling plaque with her name on it.
