Passing the time {Riddle Twins}

[Arroe Kerea]

Arroe Kerea was sprawled out on a chair in the slytherin common room, close to the fire so anyone nearby could see it dancing across her pale skin and copper colored hair. Her long nails were tracing absent minded patterns in her leg as she awaited the twins. They agreed to meet after they were all done with classes and their duties to figure out how best to pass the time, or who best to harass. Definetly fun.
Yet so far, neither twin had entered the common room, so aside from a few fellow students, mainly first and seconds years who Arroe did not associate with, the room was deserted and she was quite bored. She hadn't noticed quite how bored she had been until a voice snapped her straight out of a glassy eyed daze.

[Onyxa Riddle-Lestrange]

The bell overhead rang, signaling the end of class; Potions class. Onyxa and Alyra jumped up from their desks at almost the exact same time, slung their bags over their shoulders and made to leave the classroom. "Alyra! Onyxa!" their names were called out from the head of the room. Alyra rolled her eyes at her sister as they slowly turned around. "Yes, daddy?" they said in unison, the same fakely sweet tone in their voices. Zaire shook his head and pointed to his left arm with a small smile. Both sighed, nodded and hurried from the room.

Surprisingly enough, to both of them, their mother, nor grandfather had nothing for them to do for the day. They headed back to the Slytherin common room, where they always met Arroe. "Perhaps they're actually learning to get off their lazy arses and do things for themselves," Onyxa muttered as she dropped down in the chair on Arroe's left side. Alyra only nodded. "Hey," they said, turning to their friend.

[Arroe Kerea]

Snapping her head up, Arroe blinked quickly to return to full awareness and shot each twin a seperate smile, "hey yourself," she replied as she crossed her legs. Tilting her head to the side she peered at the twins with a smile, "Mommy didn't want you?" she asked, slightly surprised by their quick arrival. It usually took them a little longer.
Peering around the room with a sigh, Arroe wished the other students would dissapear instead of staring like they usually did when either twin entered a room. Shooting everyone a dirty glare, Arroe returned her attention to the girls and played with her bracelet. "so what's today have in store for us?" she asked with a wicked smile, desprate for something to do.

[Malix Riddle]

Both girls heaved a sigh and shook their heads. Onyxa put on a hurt expression, sticking her bottom lip out and making her eyes water. "No, mommy doesn't love us..." she whimpered. Rolling her eyes and quitting the act, she shrugged. "No, she and the Dark Lord were busy and told us to just leave," she said. She shot a glance over at her sister and then looked around the rest of the common room.
At Arroe's words, both snapped their heads back to give their friend their attention again. "Hmm...I don't know," Alyra tilted her head to the side in thought. Onyxa shrugged again. "Same as usual? Torment the younger children, blow up the Astronomy tower, go piss all the professors off in their meeting in five minutes...there are plenty of choices...what do you think?" she smirked at Arroe, waiting to see if she had any other ideas.

[Arroe Kerea]

Snorting in reply to the pitiful act, Arroe shook her head, "oh of course they don't love you," she replied, mocking sympathy to the girls, though highly amused.
At Alyra's suggestions, Arroe lit up in excitement. Finally something to do. With an eager smile she giggled, though it was far from a girly sound, "how about all of them?" she asked with a wink. "Or how about a trip to the forbidden forest?" she asked in a daring voice, as if egging them on.

[Malix Riddle]

Onyxa smirked at Arroe, before nodding in agreement. "But daddy does," she said in almost a baby voice, putting on a overly-cheesy grin. She snorted and quit the acting again. Looking down at her lap, she played with the strap of her bag as the other two talked.
Alyra nodded enthusiastically along with the copper-haired girl. "Yes! How about ALL of them?" she grinned, though it was rather wicked. "We could hurry down to the staff room and eavesdrop, maybe set off some dungbombs or something...then go down to the forest, torture who ever gets in our way, spend some time in their, until dark or so... then sneak up to the Astronomy tower?" Alyra looked from her sister to her friend with the same grin on her face.

[Arroe Kerea]

Arroe found herself nodding back at Alyra, excited by what she was saying. "Definetly!" she replied eagerly, itching to get started on their mischief making. They still had several hours before dark, which meant several hours to harass anyone that came close to them.
"Let's get going then and we can come up with more on the way," she said, nearly laughing with excitemet. She jumped up, grabbing a hand from each girl as she went. After pulling them up she released them quickly and began making her way across the room, deliberatley stepping on a few feet.

[Malix Riddle]

Onyxa and Alyra nodded along, excited as well. Both laughed as Arroe pulled them up with her. They hurried after their friend, being sure to trip a first year or two on their way to the door. Ignoring the yells and cries, they headed out of the dungeons and toward the fifth floor, where the staff room was.
Seeing a huddled group of professors outside the room, Onyxa halted and held out an arm, signaling for the two girls behind her to stop. "We are going to be in such deep shit if we're caught..." Alyra muttered, peering around her sister. All of the professors were filing into the room, the Headmistress stood holding the door open, and Zaire stood next to her saying something they couldn't hear. The second Aramorta closed the door, both twins looked at each other, then Arroe."Alright, lets go," said Onyxa, pulling a bag of fireworks and dungbombs from Zonko's as she ran on tip-toes toward the door at the end of the corridor.

[Arroe Kerea]

Feeling her heart skip a few beats, Arroe paled slightly as she shot a glance around. Alyra was right. Weighing the consequences opposed to the fun they'd have, Arroe shook of her unease. This was worth it.

Following the twins, Arroe grabbed a few dungbombs of her own as they got into position. She peered down at them, grinning madly, the reactions of the teachers were always good... except her mother. Callysra was usually easy going, having been exactly like Arroe in her youth, however as a professor, she had to punish Arroe for her trouble making as long as she was caught.

Pushing aside thoughts of her mother, Arroe gripped a dungbomb in each hand and peered over at Onyxa, waiting for instruction.

[Onyxa Riddle-Lestrange]

They got to the other end of the corridor and around the corner a little, before looking back down to Arroe. Onyxa held the bag open to her sister. Alyra took a couple dungbombs and fireworks, and then Onyxa took the rest. The two of them watched the door of the staff room for a minute, just to be sure that no one was about to come back out.

Sure enough that they weren't going to get caught, at least not immediately, that all the professors would at least have to jump out of their chairs and then probably get caught up trying to figure out who was getting out first, Onyxa readied hers. She met Arroe's eyes for a second and nodded, before throwing the dungbombs in her hand. Alyra waited for a second so Onyxa's could start working, then threw hers. They both waited for Arroe to go next; the fireworks would be for very last, a distraction as they made a run for it.

[Arroe Kerea]

At Onyxa's nod, Arroe's heart just about burst, she held up her arm, readying it to throw, and watched with a grin as the first few dungbombs went off. Once both twins had thrown theirs Arroe threw hers hard, causing it to bounce off the wall. Snickering at the loud thud it had made, Arroe turned back to Onyxa, waiting for fireworks.

[Onyxa Riddle-Lestrange]

Onyxa watched Arroe's last dungbomb go off. Now there was multiple reasons to run as fast as they possibly could. The smell filling the hall was horrid. The twins stared at each other as they listened for the sound of movement from the staff room. There it was, the scraping of chairs being moved and the thud of hurrying footsteps.

A smirk curled Onyxa's lips as she nodded to Arroe and her sister again. She drew her wand and tapped the fireworks one at a time, before tossing them quick. They went off, showering the hall with multi-colored sparks. Alyra and Onyxa turned tail and ran. They didn't even pay any attention to Arroe; they had agreed to meet in the next empty corridor, she would be fine alone.

[Arroe Kerea]

At the sound of all the professors pushing out of their chairs and hurrying towards the door, Arroe let out a short laugh. It never failed. Of course, she knew her mother would probably guess who had been the one to set off the dungbombs, and next time they were alone, Arroe would probably confess and they'd both laugh, however that was only if they weren't caught. IF they were, it made both Arroe and Callysra look bad.

Once the fireworks had begun their show Arroe spun around and ran as fast as her long legs would take her, making her way to the agreed meeting place. Once she reached it she leaned against the wall and doubled over laughing, barely able to look up at the twins to see their expressions. "That was great."

[Callysra Amex Kerea]

Classes were over for the day and Callysra was situated at a long table beside Aaramorta, waiting for the meeting to begin. She absentmindedly played with her nails as the rest of the professors filed in and sat down, turning their attention to the headmistress. Once everyone was in, the meeting began.

Callysra was looking over at Aaramorta, as she was the one talking, when an awful smell began to drift around the room. She recognized it at once. A dungbomb. Realization dawned on the professors faces one bye one and suddenly everyone scraped out of their chairs and shoved past each other, on their way to the door to catch whatever trouble making student had set them off.

Being the first out the door, Callysra caught site of copper colored hair through the smoke before it dissapeared around the corner. Damnit Arroe, she thought with a sigh. Callysra was mentally making a note to talk to her about not getting caught when she realized someone was standing beside her. Peering out of the corner of her eye, she recognized the tall dark haired figure. Zaire. And by the look on his face, he's seen Arroe too. Callysra gave him an annoyed glare, knowing without a doubt he would get her daughter in trouble as a way to get back at her.

The rest of the professors had made it out the door and were looking around frantically for any culprit they could find. "Did you see anyone?" one of them asked Zaire. I crossed my arms and waited to see his reply.

[Zaire Lestrange]

The school day had ended and Aramorta had called for the first official staff meeting of the year. Zaire watched the other professors make their way into the room as he stood talking with Aramorta at the door. The last professor passed them and sat down. Zaire finally went to take his seat, as Aramorta closed the door.

Zaire looked across the table at Callysra, but quickly looked away, at Aramorta instead as she sat down between them, at the head of the table. It hadn't been long that Aramorta had been talking, before she stopped. Everyone in the room was watching the door as a foul smell suddenly began to seep under it, into the room. Their was no doubt what it was. All the professors hurried to get out, trying to push their way out first.

Second after Callysra, he turned his head one way and then the other, fast. A streak of copper hair caught his eye and a self-satisfied smile spread across his face as he made to start down that way, followed by the majority of the other professors.

He froze at the question directed at him and turned to the person asking. He nodded. "Ms. Kerea," he answered, narrowing his eyes at Callysra for a second, before really heading off down the corridor. It was only to come to the next main corridor, to find three familiar faces. It was no surprise to see his girls with Arroe, but it did not make him, or the woman who had stopped beside him, any less angry. Zaire opened his mouth, but closed it instantly at the hiss of anger. "What the bloody hell do you three think you are doing?" Aramorta's voice rang through the hall. Zaire just crossed his arms, not even wanting to look over at Callysra now. "I want a really good answer right now, or I swear I'll send you for a visit back home!" she snapped, knowing that was a far worse threat to them, especially the twins, than any detention. Zaire closed his eyes with a sigh as Alyra's face lost its color and she began stuttering, obviously having a problem forming words.
