Snake in the Grass {Nik, Liv, Rose, and King}

[Logan Kings]

Logan hummed to himself as he walked the deer trail through the forrest, his disposable wizard's camera at the ready. His parent's didn't believe him that Wizard picture moved, and they wanted to see what the grounds looked like, so here he was, snapping pics of the only place he hd missed so far. The camera was almost entirely used up, for the Common Rooms, Quidditch Pitch, and the rest of Hogwarts had already been shot. Olivia had truly inspired him, and it was no wonder why she enjoyed this so much, though he knew for a fact he wasn't an eight as good as her.
He smiled, widely as he got a picture of a few centaurs, which rolled their eyes at him, and dashed away, one of the mares showing him a rather obscene gesture as she fled. It made him chuckle, loudly.
It took a while for him to realize he wasn't alone. A snapped twig under some other thing's foot made him aware, and he frowned. "I hear ya. Get out of the shadows, I'm not stupid!" He called out, his wand suddenly at the ready.

[Nikita Snape]

Nikita watched silently behing a log as Logan Kings walked into the Forbidden Forest. A plan struck her almost immediately, and she had to struggle not to laugh. She crept after him, not making a single sound. She felt a shadow loom over her, and she laughed rather softly. She knew that Logan wouldn't hear though. She began to pick up her pace, getting closer and closer to her so called friend. She guessed they were friends considering the night in the owlery. She had been such a brat that night, as did Vikki. Niki almost hurled when she thought of her cousin Vikki. She despised that creature, if you could even call it one. She didn't deserve to live if you asked Niki. Focusing back on the trail in front of her, her eyes stared into the back of Logan's neck.

Nikita froze as the snap of a twig erupted. She felt the twig break under her foot, and she smiled softly. Her plan hadn't worked but it didn't mean she didn't have a back up plan. She was wanting to scare the crap out of him by sneaking up on him, but no she just had to ruin that plan! She decided to go with her plan B, which would also probably scare the King boy. Nikita ran toward Logan, tackling him to the ground playfully. He still didn't know it was her, and that made her laugh. They rolled a couple times, and then eventually stopped. Niki was left laying on top of Logan, smiling broadly, and with tons of leaves stuck in her striking black hair. She stared into Logan's eyes, her smile still plastered on her face.

[Olivia Zariah Ryall]

Olivia smiled the cool air wrapping around her muggle clothing, which she preferred to wear anyway. Shuffling through the forests she called out softly for Logan. He told her about the camera that he was using to take a few pictures for his parents. She figured that he might need some help with the whole "photography" part. Allowing him to take her camera previously Logan happened to take a few decent-horrid shots. It was a shame to all photographers in the wizarding world. He did need plenty "help" which of course involved more bonding time. Turning around the bend Olivia smiled at movement her wand still a ready in her hand. Olivia's smile faded watching as Nikita lay on Logan's chest clearly enjoying herself. "Am. I. Intruding?" she murmured eye glazed over with tears. Fighting the urge to let them fall she happened to wipe her cold nose with her sleeve vanishing the trace of tears.

[Logan Kings]

Logan was about to shout again when he was suddenly tackled. Letting out a very loud, almost afraid yell, he slammed into the ground, and shook his head, disoriented. After the white stars disappeared from his vision, a very pleased looking Nikita was on top of him. "What the hell, Nikita?" He asked, remembvering the last time he had seen her. She had kissed him, and then Victoire had spazzed out. Oh, fun times, fun times.
He did his best to push her away, worried that his wand or his camera was broken, when he heard a small, very confused voice. Am I interrupting?
"Oh, god. Nik, please get off" He said, pushing, and making her roll off, ungracefully. He stood, and pulled the Slythertein to her feet, and turned to adress Olivia. "Nah, Liv. S'all good. Nikita's just having a bit of fun is all. Trust me, it's fine" He was a little worried, seeing her face. "Are you okay, kiddo?" He asked, pocketing the whole wand, and clutching the camera. He jumped, realizing his two friends might not know each other. "Uh, Olivia, this is Nikita, Nik, this is Liv"

[Nikita Snape]

Nikita's head turned back to look at the girl who seemed to be close to tears. She snorted at the girl, and spoke clearly. "Who the HELL are you?" Nikita's voice had a sudden hiss in it, which surprised her. She had no idea who this girl was, but it slightly pissed her off that the girl was about to cry over something like this. She rolled her eyes, still staring at the girl and then noticed Logan's hands pushing her. "Ouch!" Nikita hollared as she rolled off of Logan. It was a rough ride, as she hit her head on some twigs. She was suddenly pulled up, as she rubbed her head, and tried to sort all of the leaves out of her hair.

Nikita stared at the girl in front of her as Logan realized that they hadn't been introduced. The girl seemed to smile at Niki, and put her hand out for Niki to shake. Her eyes hard and cold, Niki stared at 'Liv'. "So? What is it, and what is it doing here?" Niki's voice was directed to Logan, even though she wasn't looking at him. She could already tell she wouldn't like this 'Liv' girl. She was interested to know about her though. She didn't want, nor care to be her friend. A smirk crossed Nikita's face as she spat the words out. Her pale blue eyes were striking, and alert. She waited for something to happen, even though she was sure it wouldn't be exciting.

[Olivia Zariah Ryall]

"I'm a good." She said frowning to the words "kiddo". It wasn't as if Olivia was five, yes two years younger, but not a little kid. "I believe he just told you, Olivia Zariah Ryall, Muggleborn." She spat narrowing her eyes glaring at Nikita. "It is helping with his pictures." Olivia spat venom lacing her words. It, how dare she. She barley new Logan after all. Tackling him in the middle of the Forbidden Forest, that's a smart idea. Olivia wouldn’t have been surprised if Logan had hexed her where she stood. Not that she had anything again Nikita, I mean she only first met her. But her tone told all to well, along with her reputation in the DE.

[Nikita Snape]

Nikita raised her eyebrow softly as she listened to Olivia's words. Who did this girl think she was? Just barge in and be a bitch like that? Even Nikita didn't do that. She would give people space, but no... this girl just HAD to be a little fag. Rolling her eyes once more, she looked at the girl and began to speak. "I wasn't asking what your name was, smart one. I don't give a freaking shit about your name. I wanted to know WHAT you were, and what the HELL you were doing here." Nikita hissed at the girl, standing in front of her. "And I do believe I was asking Logan, not you." Nikita snarled at the last word, eying the girl in front of her. "I hope you're careful. You don't want to get on my bad side. Even though you kind of already are. You have no idea what you are in for little child." Nikita smirked, and then glanced at the staring Logan. She returned her eyes to Olivia, and they stared into hers blankly.

[Logan Kings]

Logn chuckled, nervously. Even someone was usually oblivious as he could tell that this little introduction was not going very well. Nothing ever really did at this school, so why would this be different? "Can't you just feel the love here?" Logan murmured mainly to himself, rubbing the back of his head. He didn't know who to side with, for sides were never a specialty of his, and he did his best to put the two at ease.
Grinning, in a very uncomfortable fashion, he walked over to Olivia, and put his arm around her shoulders. "Nikita, this is Olivia, a Ravenclaw, like me. She's one of my best friends, so please play nice" He then held out Olivia's hand for her, and continued on. "Olivia, this is Nikita. We've have a lot of... history. She's also my friend" He reached out for the Slytherein's hand and forced the girls to shake.
"And, I am trying to take pictures. Do your best and look happy" He snapped a quick shot of each of the girls, smiling at what his mother would say, and dropped their hands. "Nikita, no death threats, please. It kinda ruins the vibe. No offense"
He held his breath, worried about both of their reactions, not knowing who he should be more afraid of.

[Olivia Zariah Ryall]

Olivia frowned slightly struggling to lose the scowl plastered across her face. Little child. "Excuse me? Child is one of the things I am NOT." she called heatedly. " Short I may be but probably ten times smarter and twenty times less a bitch than you my dear." A sly smile crawled apon her lips forming into a smirk. "Right," she drawled, " playing nice." Again she shook her head riding herself of more nasty thoughts. Biting back her acid tongue Olivia held out her hand for Nikita to shaking without Logan's help. "Start over?" she smiled, a tinge of bitter sweetness hidden in her completion.

[Nikita Snape]

Nikita scowled at Logan, as his words floated to her. I was playing nice wasn't I? Well, that was nice for me...' Her thoughts scattered as Olivia's words broke in. "Are you sure about that Olivia? 'Cause compared to me, you're still a child. The ten times smarter thing is completely stupid, and false. The bitch thing on the other hand, is true... except that right now you're being a bitch too." Smiling evilly back at Olivia, her eyes wandered to Logan, who seemed to be trying to lighten the mood. She laughed a short laugh, rolling her eyes jokingly. IT would be really hard to lighten the mood at this point.

Niki's pale blue eyes watched as Olivia's hand was in position to shake. "You really don't want to start over do you? I can tell." Nikita just looked at Olivia's hand, and then at her face with a blank expression. She was in no mood to 'play nice'. Especially with this thing. She was positive that girl really didn't want to start over, and she decided to let that go. Niki didn't really want to be her friend, especially after she rudely barged in.

[Rosie Lupin]

Rosie knew that her dearest Ted had warned her of heading into the forest alone before now. She knew it was dangerous and that it was a very risky thing. But, for some reason, she had an urge to that day. The Forest was such a pretty thing, especially on days like today, when the sun was shining so brightly, it seemed as though it'd never stop. And as she slipped through the trees, her auburn-russet hair lilting through the forest at an uncannily short height, she heart voices.

She knew all three of them, although for a moment, she couldn't place them. However, once she reached the clearing, it became completely clear as to who the voices were. Her menace of a cousin, Nikita Snape, who was mean to everyone except a select few, the eccentric little Olivia Ryall, with whom Rosie'd been friends with for a long time, and a confused looking Logan Kings. The sight of the last one made Rosie laugh a little to herself. He was a strong boy, with a good head on his shoulders, and it was rare that she ever saw him look more than perfectly content and sure of himself. However, at that moment, she caught a glimpse of the uncertainties he was having at times like these.

So, she snuck up behind the boy, and making sure she didn't disturb the gist of the fight that was taking place (where she was sure a bitchy girl like Nikita would MURDER a sweetheart like Olivia), and, coveing his mouth, pulled him back into the forest, showing herself to him so that he wouldn't struggle so much on the kidnapping. Once out of hearing range of the two girls, she burst out laughing, a quiet laughter so she wouldn't be detected, and muttered, "Jesus, Kings, how'd you get into THAT mess?"

[/size]

[Logan Kings]

First he was there, doing his best to deter the two girls from utterly murdering the other, adn the next, a hand was slid over his mouth, and Logan was being tugged into the thick, by somebody who was doing her best not to disturb the arugment. He knew it was a her by the hand. Small, and dainty.
He did not struggle, it would be best not to, for if it were Corliss or Kia, it'd make matters worse, or if it was a friend, it would only harm them. Either way, it was a bad idea. But, then Rosie stepped infront of him, and pushed him backwards, still into the deeper foliage. Once hidden from view, mostly, she released him, and giggled, nearly silently, wanting to know how in the world that had occured.
"Well..." Logan started, slightly shocked to see his Gryffindor friend. "I was taking some pics for meh sisters, and Nikita tackled me. Olivia came in to help me with the photos, saw Nikita on my chest -I was trying to throw her off, so don't give me that look, Rosie- and Nikita verbally attacked her. I dunno why, but these things just happen to me. It's a curse, these astounding good looks." He snickered, just as quietly, crouching down, trying to see the girls. "Nikita was already threatening poor Livi after the two minute mark. I'm slightly amazed she got that far. Her reputation truly speaks for itself."

[Rosie Lupin]

All the while she was listening to her dear Ravenclaw friend, she got more and more amused by the whole situation as it unfolded for her in the boy's words. "Logan, deary," she started, knowing how much he hated being called that, but not caring, as his nickname didn't really fit her mood of advice giving. "Hon, most guys would kill to have girls fighting over them. Honestly, just take it as a compliment." All the while, her bright face had been plastered with that sort of grin that only she could truly master.

[Olivia Zariah Ryall]

"Oh really? You can "tell"? Are you sure that's not just your lack of sincerity on your part clouding your judgment. A, correct you are, B, back off." she drew her wand, a furious impulse. "Yes, I look small but I bet you I can wipe that stupid grin of your face Nikita." Her eyes stared back threatening into Niki's even surprising herself with the sudden anger. It felt, good. Allowing her body to radiate such fury, anger which she'd been holding back for so long. "Screw it, Locomotor mortis." As soon as the incantation left her mouth hitting Nikita around the knees she regretted it. It just wasn't her persona, hurting people. "I.....I." Dropping her wand she glanced at Nikita, eyes wide as saucers preparing herself for her wrath.

[Nikita Snape]

Smiling wider as Niki watched Olivia draw her wand, she wanted to laugh. That was her specialty... making others fight first. She absolutely loved being able to break into their world. To simply change them. She listened carefully as Olivia's words flowed toward her angrily. "Wanna bet, bitch?" Nikita hissed at Olivia, as she spoke about wiping the smile off her face. It wouldn't happen she was sure of it. Still smiling Nikita felt the curse hit her knees, and she pelted to the ground laughing. This was just dandy. Everything was going swell, well in Nikita's point of view. This was quite entertaining to her. Especially when she watched Olivia's facial expression change. She cracked up, still on the ground. She grabbed her wand, and then thought to herself. 'Accio wand.' Olivia's wand flew into her awaiting hand, and Niki's smile was still plastered on her face. She clutched both wands, and flicked her's thinking the counter curse.

Nikita was now standing up, carrying herself proudly. "Not, a smart move, child. I wouldn't do it again. I mean unless you absolutely WANT to get hurt. Well, actually... you're gonna get hurt this time too..." Flicking her wrist, red sparks flew out of the end of her wand and hit Olivia square in the chest. An evil laugh escaped Niki's lips, as she watched the girl fall to the ground, suddenly limp. She laid on the grass, and Nikita flicked her wrist once more. "Incarcerous" The words came out of her mouth softly, and Olivia was immediately wrapped in ropes.
