What Am I Doing Here?

[Charmaine Zsigmond]

Charmaine had just gotten over the event that recently happened in the dungeons. And it was all thanks to a friend she had made, therefore, here she was again, having the time of her life. After spending quite some time in the student lounge and library earlier in the afternoon, she had decided to have another adventure of the castle, only now, deciding to avoid the lower levels of the castle as she had no intention of having another encounter with the same person as before. It had been hard the first time, and she surely didn't need a second time at the same week, besides, classes were about to start and she didn't need distractions at the moment.

The young girl started her adventure at the fourth floor of the castle, the most cheerful it was deemed and it partly proved to be true as many groups had often hung out there and it was very cheerful indeed with all the laughter and chattering that could be heard in almost every corner. After many minutes of walking around, she had decided to come down one floor. The third floor had seemed to be quite of a buzz with all the students scurrying in and out of the hospital wing and many other places found in the said floor and as busy as it was, she decided to just come back later as she made her way down to the second floor. Charmaine then began to walk around, taking a peek at every room she could find and one particular classroom had caught her interest. She decided to check it out and maybe she would find something totally unexpected and interesting within the abandoned classroom.

 

[Blaine Matthias]

Blaine Matthias smirked as he walked beside of his best friend, Vladimir Zhefarovich. The Slytherin and Ravenclaw were hard to separate, even while on the grounds. There was only so much that one could do when it came down to school. Someone had to entertain themselves somehow. And this was the best way that Blaine knew how. His best friend could do something and be entertaining enough for the Ravenclaw. Blaine walked along the corridors, chuckling about their manipulating of one Hufflepuff that was entirely too much fun. Blaine looked about the area and wondered where else they could go. It seemed like they had been everywhere in the castle but then again everything looked the same. The paintings did not, but who gave two hoots about them. They could be so rude and whatnot but Blaine always threatened to set them on fire when he learned the spell, and that normally sent them into silence.

Blaine was stopped short when Vladimir pointed at a classroom that seemed empty except for some girl that was in there. Well, that would be something interesting. A girl, a lone one that had to be in some pathetic house with the way that she was dressed. Blaine whispered, "You wanna start in on her or should I?" Vladimir motioned to let him, and Blaine decided to make himself known with an introduction, or so to speak. Blaine coughed and he announced, "Look what the cat bagged in, a mud crawler no doubt. Lost?" Blaine looked over at Vladimir and knew that he would end up being a bit more vicious than he would. Blaine was not used to starting in on someone, it was normally Vladimir but Blaine was getting used to it all.​

 

[Vladimir Zhefarovich]

Vladimir Zhefarovich continued to walk next to his best friend, Blaine Matthias. He might have been a Ravenclaw but that did not mean that he was some nerd that focused on books. No, Blaine was so much more than that. Blaine was amazing, in every sense of the word. His sister was okay too, but sometimes Vladimir thought that she was a bit too stuck up. However it would be nice to get to know her. Every now and then that is. She was so vain with her looks. Well, she was beautiful. Vladimir would not mind to get into that, but that was his best friend’s sister, and he would never cross that line when it came down to best friends and whatnot. Vladimir was only a first year too, so he did not need to know too much about crushes and love. He was taught that it just slowed people down. Very few would actually found one that would keep them strong.

However he looked over at the classroom and he saw some pathetic girl in there, alone. He stopped Blaine from walking and he nudged the Ravenclaw to look in there. He nodded at Blaine to get started on her before he would end up with something a bit more vicious. What Blaine said made Vladimir smirk, but he stood in the doorway, to prevent the girl from leaving if she tried to run. "Oh do not be like that, Blaine. Not everyone can be gifted and not diseased with dirty blood. You can just tell by looking at her." She was not a half-breed, so they were going with what they could go on. Not everyone could have a strong family background like the two of them. Well, his side was almost wiped out once, and his side was still flourishing strong.​

 

[Charmaine Zsigmond]

Charmaine had practically entered the classroom without hesitation. After all, it was abandoned as it seemed with all the dust that had gathered in every corner of the room. It seemed that everything was left untouched for quite a period of time. Along with it were some broken furniture, like chairs and tables that looked like they were almost the same age or maybe even older that her! Indeed she was fascinated by all of this for who could really know if she were to find something quite valuable within the confines of the four corners of the abandoned classroom.

The young Hufflepuff was going through her search on the tables when she suddenly heard a sudden cough coming from near the entrance of the room. Raine nearly jumped in surprise but her heart was beating erratically from the sudden shock she had experience. She then turned around to look at the face of the source of the sound. It was a boy seemingly around her own age, only, in a different house. Being the not so smart child she is along with her cluelessness she possessed, she only did understand the question of said boy. "Uh... No, I was just looking through stuff," she said a little too uncomfortably as she decided that it was probably time for her to go. "I... uh... Think that I better go now," she said as she started to make her way through the door, only that there was another boy blocking the way and making a conversation with the other boy as if they were talking about her. "Excuse me?" she asked in the midst of their conversation because of her obvious confusion.

 

[Blaine Matthias]

The fact that the girl was not getting what they were saying, Blaine could not resist smiling and laughing, all at the expense of the girl. Blaine showed his true colors when he was around Vladimir, so it was only fair that she would get to see these things. It was quite funny for the Ravenclaw. She would have to learn from experiences that she would not the in the best crowd that one would really want to be in. Vladimir's family had connections, though one might not want to get involved in their family. He heard the stories. The Matthias reach was mostly in Russia. She was uncomfortable, and that made Blaine smirk even more. It seemed as though Vladimir was loving this too. "Oh really? That's the thing though, isn't it? I don't believe you. I think that you are actually up to something that would potentially harm the, what you would call upper class."

Blaine was really having fun, and the fact that she was trying to leave just made him want to go at her some more. Slowly his hand reached within his clothing and he pulled out his wand. He held it lazily at his side. "Why leave? It should be an honor for you to be in the presence of two outstanding fellows of pure-blood. That is, before the likes of you breed so much that the pure folk will be nothing short of a legend." Blaine looked over at Vladimir and he wondered if he was going to add in to anything, or if he was just going to stand there and look like the handsome devil that he was. Blaine had secrets of his own that he was keeping from Vladimir though.​

 

[Vladimir Zhefarovich]

Vladimir made sure that he was blocking the girl from leaving. People like her would want to run away from attacks such as this, and Blaine was really laying it on her. But it could be worse. Vladimir was a lot harsher than Blaine was, but that was the way Vladimir was raised. He could do more than just hurt someone with his words. Vladimir looked down upon the Hufflepuff girl, and he raised an eyebrow. At least she did not seem as pathetic as that one Slytherin girl that should have been aborted the moment she was conceived. People like that made him roll his eyes. Only those that were worthy to hold themselves with pride were the pure-bloods. Salazar Slytherin wanted Hogwarts to be filled with pure-bloods, and that was the way it should be. Vladimir heard her whimpering, or what was whimpering to him. She seemed so sad, it was hilarious.

She was trying to leave, and she was saying those two words that did not make sense to him. Vladimir was not used to hearing things like that. He raised an eyebrow before he said, "Excuse you from what? Living? Leaving? How about no to all the above." But the girl seemed to confused. It was almost cute. If Vladimir knew what that was. He looked over at Blaine and he stated, "Wait, Blaine. She doesn't know what the hell we are even saying. Since she doesn't know, that means that she is either ignorant, or the first in her magical line. Born from muggles. The lowest you can go." His onyx eyes shifted down to the Hufflepuff girl, and this time was he talking directly to her, his cold voice stabbing through the air, "How right am I about you?"​

 

[Charmaine Zsigmond]

Charmaine had no idea what to do. She was trapped by two boys in an abandoned classroom in a nearly abandoned floor! It was like she was back in non-magical school, only, she didn't know what was worse. Magical bullies or non-magical bullies. She did hope though that the ones in her previous school were worse since they would sometimes resort to physical bullying, but in Hogwarts was different. People knew and had magic. They could probably use it on her anytime they wished and she had little to no idea about the witchcraft that she could possibly throw to protect herself. She let those thoughts leave her head as she began to think of a way to escape the classroom especially with one boy blocking the doorway. Her head swiftly turned though at the other boy's remark, which was a Ravenclaw from what she could see in his robes. "I would never do anything to harm anyone," the Hufflepuff defended. Why were they thinking like that about her? Was it evil to wander around in the castle and search for adventure?

Charmaine had next to no idea on how she would escape this little trouble. Especially with a Slytherin boy, taller and bigger than her was blocking the only way in and out of the place. Going through a window seemed pleasant, but she didn't want to damage school property, even though it seemed pretty damaged already. She wanted to leave especially with all the words being uttered that she could barely understand. Perhaps, it was a better idea to have read something before she even came to the castle and perhaps she would not be as bullied as she was now. "Upper class? Pureblood? Muggles?" she questioned, her face in utter confusion. "I don't understand." It was not surprise since she could barely understand anything about the magical world and it might have been a good idea to have someone tutor her before she went on little adventures. "What are you talking about?" she decided to ask which might not have been a good idea. She let her hand wander into her pocket and take hold of the stick, or wand as they call it. Maybe she could use it? Throw it or something since she had no idea how it works, there was no battery or buttons. Yep, throwing is good. To whom should she aim it though?

 

[Vladimir Zhefarovich]

Vladimir looked over at Blaine who seemed to be confused because the other girl was confused. That in turn made Vladimir know that Blaine's work would not be enough to crack the girl. If she was this ignorant, he would have to show her exactly what was what. Vladimir might even have to get physical, and would keep Blaine to keep a look out. The last thing he wanted was his uncle, either one, to catch him in the act. Professor Styx would be worse than Professor Zhefarovich, but the latter would take him to the first. Professor Styx was also the head of the family, like he would one day be. He did not need to get in trouble with him and ruin his chances. By that point, there will be two, and one of which was his own cousin. "Keep an eye out for professors, Blaine. I'll handle this." His voice reigned cold and commanding. The girl did not know that she would not harm anyone. The poor sod. She would one day know of the damage she may indeed inflict. And, he felt as if it were his own job to help her out in the only way he could.

He moved so that Blaine could take his place near the door. It would prevent them from being caught, and prevent this Hufflepuff kid from leaving. "You really don't seem to know, do you. How stupid are parents nowadays if they are not even educating their children?" Sighing, Vladimir clinched his wand in his hand, showing that he was somewhat annoyed by this. Teaching was not in his forte, but perhaps he could add a new twist on it. "Muggles means non-magical folk. Pure-blood means blood that is not infected with muggle or any other magical creature. There is a hierarchy of status you need to be aware of. Muggle-borns, and use your brain to know what that is, are typically on the bottom and pure-bloods are on the top." That should be a way to tell her that she was on the bottom, and that he and Blaine were far above her. He raised an eyebrow and wondered if she would understand that bit. Vladimir sighed and he stated. "Do you understand that, or do you not understand English?" Vladimir raised an eyebrow before his eyes fell to her wand, wondering if she would even attempt something with that.​

Out of Character:

Answering as both is exhausting so I hope you don't mind.
