Chris sat in a pretty deep and dark unvisited art of the dungeon, he was actually surprised he hadnt run into some sort of giant rat or something as it seemed the kind of place they would hang around. He was wearing his robes, as usual, a lot of students went around in there own clothes but not him, his robes actual suited him and he kind of liked them. In his hand was a guitar, the only thing his grandad had taught him about that he had actually been interested in and now he could play.
Cris actually thought it was pretty nerdy to be able to play a guitar as in the wizarding world there were no need for guitarists, most wizard or witch musicians had ones that played themselves which meant they could sing and dance around and entertain the crowd more easily. Chris shrugged to himself a little then sat down on a table which creaked under his wait but managed to hold him. Chris looked down at his guitar, it had been ages scince he had played it and he just felt like playing it that was why he had made his way into the dungeons this deep and at this time of the night.
Although there was some light shining from a lantern that he supposed had been bewitched to light itself at night. Chris looked back down at his guitar and began to lay slowly getting some of the chords wrong but he was a bit rusty. "Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight, Lead me out on the moonlit floor, Lift your open hand, Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance, Silver moon's sparkling, So kiss me, Kiss me down by the broken tree house, Swing me upon its hanging tire, Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat, We'll take the trail marked on your father's map" he sang into the darkness that was beyond the light of the magic candle.

Samantha huffed angrily as she scurried down a flight of stairs, not quite aware of where she was going. Her Ravenclaw robes were flowing behind her as she reached the bottom, noticing it had gotten considerably colder, and darker. Must've meant she was in the dungeons, but she didn't really care. She had been down here before, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The reason she hurried down here, you may wonder? Well, it just so happened that her cat, Blacky, had run down here. This was completely odd and out of character for her 5 year old cat. It had been in her possession since a couple months after its birth and they had bonded. Her mom had gotten it for her 10th birthday. Blacky had been acting really weird lately, and suddenly now she was trying to run away. This never happened before, so it was worrying Samantha. No one runs from Samantha Ellen Lichtscheidl, she thought angrily, continuing down the dimly lit corridor in the dungeons.
Suddenly, she heard.. music? Was there someone down here? She stopped suddenly, straining her ears to listen to the noise. She began to make slow steps toward where the noise was coming from. It was very... nice, she couldn't help but admit. She stood there for a moment, listening to the boy, so it seemed by the voice. She finally peeked her head around a corner where she saw someone sitting on a table, playing guitar. In the dim light she couldn't really make out who it was.
Samantha was never one to compliment people, but she had to admit, the boy wasn't really that bad. Did she have the guts to say something, though? It would damage her ego if she complimented someone else so openly. She nibbled slightly on her bottom lip. She felt a bit like a stalker, just standing there, listening. That's when her eyes caught sight of a movement right below the table the boy was sitting on. It seemed small enough to be.. Blacky. She wanted to jump out and grab her beloved cat, but she didn't want to interrupt the boy's playing.

Chris got caught up in his playing and singing he didnt notice the cat stalk past him and under the table he was sitting at, he didnt even notice the girl who poked her head around the corner to watch him. Chris just played untill he felt something brush against his foot. Stopping mid sentence he put his guitar down on the table then jumped off it. Bending down to see what it was that had brushed against him, Chris expected to see a large rat but he was met bye two glowing eyes from the dark.
At first he wasnt sure what it was untill he saw a paw slip out from the shadow "A cat" Chris said backing away from the table only to be followed by the cat "Erm.. shoo, go away" Chris said but the cat seemed to be too fascinated by him. Why the heck does it have to be a cat he thought now backed u against the cold damp dungeon wall. "Time to face your fears.. its only a cat" Taking a deep breath and picking the cat up... Chris held it at arms length, he wasnt even sure if he was holding it correctly he was just holding it under its front legs and it just seemed to be staring at him.
Chris just stared back still pretty nervous around it "erm.. this isn't that bad" he thought to himself moving the cat a bit closer to him. The cat had better ideas and scratched his cheek. "Argh! Bastard!" Chris yelled throwing the cat lightly away, it landed not that far away from him on its feet as every cat would. chris remained were he was, staring at the cat with one hand on his cheek.

Samantha realized that he must have seen the cat or something, because he stopped playing and hopped off the table. She kept herself silent, staying hidden in shadow, still peeking her head around the corner to watch what would unfold. Now she could easily just walk over and get Blacky. She stopped any movement, though, holding her breath as he spoke. How dare he tells her cat to 'shoo' and 'go away'!
Wait, was this boy afraid of cats or something? That's what he was making it sound like. She thought that was a little strange, of course. Sam watched carefully as he picked up her cat and just stared at it. He was holding it a little strangely, but it just seemed to be staring back at him. Weird.. they just seemed to be staring at eachother for a couple of moments, until he moved Blacky closer to his face.
That's when the black cat swiped a paw toward his face, scratching his cheek. She couldn't help but gasp as he lightly tossed the cat to the dungeon floor, but it managed to land effortlessly, "Hey! Don't you dare throw my cat, you idiot!" she yelped, revealing herself and taking strides toward her kitty. She reached it before it was able to leap away, and scooped her up in her arms, stroking her head.
She whirled around to face the boy, then being close enough to recognize who it was. Her eyes narrowed at Chris, his had on his cheek, "Well, I'll have to award Blacky when we get back to my dorm," she said, smirking slightly, glad that her cat had caused him pain. She was still a bit surprised, though, for she had no idea he would be the one who was singing and playing that music. She really hadn't expected it.

Chris glared at the cat movementlessly even when a girl did run out from.. well he didnt see where she had come from he had been to busy watching the cat but wen she spoke he couldnt help but feel slightly angry "It scratched me!" he said through snarling teeth ten taking a deep breath in said "The last cat who did that ended up dead, let that be a warning" he wasnt actually going to kill her cat.. well unless it full on started a fight with him but he doubted that was going to happen.
Chris paused for a moment staring at the girl when she looked at him. Samantha He thought glaring at her. "Last time i wasted any energy on you i ended u unconscious in the forbidden forest" Chris said walking over to the table he had been sitting at and then took his place back ontop of it. "So im not going to bother this time, Scoot, Skedaddle, Shoo.. you get the drift?" he said then picked his guitar back up.
He sat there looking down at it for a while then looked back up at the girl and said in a rather sarcastic tone "You still here?" chris was hoping she would just get the drift and go because honestly he didnt want to wake u in the Dungeons the next day with a realy bad headache as that had what happend in he forest, he was kind of glad that some sort of beast hadnt stumbled upon him but he couldnt forget the fact if it wasnt for her then he wouldn't have even been in that kind of danger.

Samantha held Blacky closely to her chest protectively, gently stroking her soft head. So far, the cat hadn't made an attempt to leap from her arms, which was a good sign. Maybe it was just having a freaky mood swing problem. She kissed the top of her cat's head before glaring at Chris once more.
She rolled her eyes at his apparent 'warning', "If you ever harmed my cat, I'd have to kill you," she replied evenly, staring at the Slytherin. She scratched her cat lightly behind the ears, staying where she was as he walked over and sat back on the table with his guitar, "Well, that's not my fault, now is it? You shouldn't have provoked me. I think that was a good lesson you learned that night," she replied with a slight shrug, eyeing him and his guitar.
When she was told to leave, that only made her feel like she had to stay. She wouldn't take orders from anyone, and especially not Chris, "Of course I'm still here," she replied slowly, her tone a bit more polite than she had wanted it to be. She wanted it to sound rude, but it didn't come out that way. She felt a little strange as she spoke, "Why do you insist on playing the guitar yourself instead of letting magic do it for you?" she asked aloud, with a curious tone. For once, she didn't sound like a complete bitch. Usually she only knew of muggles that played the guitar like that. She really loathed anything to do with muggles, mostly because she found it so strange and foreign.

Chris sat on his table woundering why the heck it was she hadnt left him alone yet, chris never stuck around when he wasnt wanted.. unless it was fun but this didnt seem like fun for her so he figured there must be some alternative motive behind it Maybe she wants to knock me out again, oh yay he thought to himself then turned his head to look at Sam. "I'd like to see you try" he said knowing she wouldn't have the guts to kill him. Nobody in there right mind could kill something bigger then a bug.
"Oh yeah i seriously provoked you to knock me out didnt i" Chris said sarcastically shaking his head slightly he couldnt realy remember what had happend that well but he couldnt remember anything that could lead her to knocking im out.. ok maybe he kind of brought a bit of it on himself but knocking him out he was pretty sure a slap would have done but what had happend was a bit over the top. "Well.. is there something you want from me?" he asked curiously woundering why she was still here.
Chris smirked slightly when she asked why he didnt just let magic play the guitar. "Well if you want to listen to music thats fine but if you want to feel the music then you have to play" he said then quickly added "Not that you'd understand that" he did like playing and he just felt good playing even if it was kind of.. well not cool as there wasnt need for musicians in the magic community and he didnt want to be a magician he just liked to play.

Samantha nibbled on her bottom lip slightly. This kid was on her hate list, right? Last time she checked, yes.. It was currently a mental hate list, but perhaps she should start writing all these names down? Chris wouldn't be at the top, though. Naw, she hated that Kaleb kid more than him.
She stared down at her dark colored cat intently as she spoke, "Well, yes, you did bring it upon yourself," she replied bitterly, recalling the night she met him in the forbidden forest. For a moment, she sort of felt bad for leaving him there like that. That was impossible. She never felt remorse, what was this nonsense?! Well, perhaps she had become a bit softer toward him suddenly, having found out he had a talent in music, "You should be thanking me, since I didn't finish you off while I had the chance," she added, smirking in his direction. Sure, she was mostly kidding. She'd have thoughts run through her head of scenarios where she would kill people, but she had yet to actually kill someone. No one had made her that angry yet.
Samantha couldn't help but roll her eyes to the ceiling at his next words. They sounded.. cheesy. Sure, she wasn't a big fan of music. She wasn't obsessed with it like some people, and didn't listen to it religiously. So, she really didn't know what he was saying. She took a few slow steps toward the table he was seated on, seeing that Blacky was almost asleep in her arms now, "Yeah, I probably wouldn't understand," she replied honestly, taking a seat on the table herself. Wait, why did she just sit down? Was she planning on staying for a while? Well, this was a bit out of character. No, she just wanted to annoy him.. yeah, that was it, "So did you.. write that song or something?" she asked randomly, as if she was trying to start a conversation with this Slytherin. Perhaps he would leave before she did.

Cris looked at her with his head tilted slightly wen she said he had bought it on himself "Oh ok then that makes it ok to be left knocked out in the forbidden forest" he said sarcastically still woundering why she hadnt left him and just gone off somewere. Chris almost laughed when she said he should be grateful she didnt finish him off "Did you think i was joking when i said i had a lot of powerful friends who would hunt you down, including Harry Potter?" he asked her rhetorically.
Chris hard her come closer but didnt make much of it but he was just about to reply to her when she sat down next to him ..whats she playing at he thought to himself "Erm yeah.. you wouldn't.." he said looking up at her "I wish i wrote that song but sadly i didnt" he said looking down at the cat who was asleep thank Merlin he thought then looked back up at her "Why are you being so... kind?" he asked curiously she had just suddenly snapped into a different person and it was weirding him out slightly.

Samantha couldn't help but roll her eyes at his words. Sure, she was pretty much all talk and no action, but when she really did get angry, she would resort to magic to punish someone. Knocking someone out was her specialty, and they were usually caught off guard, which she had done to Chris. She snorted in disgust at the mention of Harry Potter. He was so overrated, "Well, you made it out alive, didn't you? No werewolves or vampires got at you, did they? So stop bitching," she replied harshly.
Sam figured it would be a bit pointless to ask who wrote the song. She wouldn't know who they were, anyway. They were probably one of those muggle bands she had heard about, or something like that. Lame. It wasn't that bad of a song, though, "I- I'm not being nice!" she exclaimed defensively. She didn't do nice. Well, normally. So this was way out of character. She had to protect her ego, "I'm just annoying you, obviously," she growled. Blacky stirred slightly in her arms, but didn't wake, "Why are you down here anyway? Shouldn't you be in your dorm doing that stuff?" she asked rudely. Mood swings.

Chris shook his head slightly "Your lucky i did make it out alive" he said imagining all the things that could of happened if he had never come back from the forbidden forest. they probably wouldnt have found my body.. he thought but didnt realy like that version. Chris looked down at the guitar he had lost the urge to play it now so he just placed it on the floor by his feet and sat up straight looking at Sam.
Chris did laugh at how she reacted to him saying she was being nice "you were being nice!" he argued back with a smile. "And i liked it" he told her giving her one of his winks then looking around to make sure nobody else had stumbled in and was rudely listening in which happened surprisingly a lot. "Yeah my dorm mates realy want to hear me screech away" he told her sarcastically. [/size]

Samantha eyed the guitar wearily as he placed it on the ground, like she was expecting it to suddenly sprout legs and run away. Though, most likely it was a completely muggle little artifact. Eh, muggles.. not really her cup of tea. She glanced down at Blacky, who seemed to be in a deep slumber now, but her arms had yet to get tired of holding it.
"I wasn't being nice," she muttered defensively, glaring up at him icily, only to be greeted by one of his winks after his next sentence. Ugh, she hated those stupid winks. She looked down quickly, pretending to inspect her cat again as she felt warmth spread across her cheeks. She nodded slightly when he mentioned the dorm thing, "Oh, yeah.. shoul have figured that," she mumbled, mostly to herself.
Sam felt a bit weird still sitting here, talking to the boy she had left unconscious in the forbidden forest not long ago, but she didn't feel like leaving. It was oddly relaxing, in a strange way. She looked back up at Chris, her curious blue eyes examining him, "So.. you're afraid of cats?" she couldn't help but speak that with a bit of humor in her tone, smirking slightly. She had pretty much drawn this conclusion from what he had said earlier, and the way he had acted.

Chris sat there thinking of what was actually going on around him, he was deep in the dungeons, alone with the girl who had knocked him out in the forest and she was holding a ct who had scratched him This should be a nightmare but im not scared.. he began to wounder but that lead to another thought maybe im not scared of cats any more he decided to test it by looking down at the cat in Sam's hands which suddenly sent shiver u his spine nope.
"Its ok to be nice" he said putting his arm around her, as soon as he had done it though he couldnt help but wounder why he had done it as it was just a habit he had picked up in his days of going from girl to girl. great im going to get attacked or something he thought as it was too late to just not put his arm around her. "dont worry, im not going to tell anyone you were nice" he said giving her a smile as she seemed to be sad or something, well she a looking down so he couldnt realy see her face.
Chris wasnt sure how to respond when she asked him if he was afraid of cats, he could hardly deny it "Ye, yes i am, i know its stupid but i cant help it.. just dont tell anyone" he said looking down almost embarrassed in himself but he couldnt help being scared of cats, if he could turn back time he knew exactly hat he would do, make sure he never even saw that stupid cat in the first place.

Samantha gently placed her cat on her lap so she didn't have to hold it anymore, and her hands were free. It gently stirred, made a small mewling noise, and then fell still once more. She was still curious as to why her cat had been acting strange lately. Maybe it was getting old, though it wasn't that old, really. Maybe it was just going through some strange phase. Whatever it was, Sam hoped it ended soon. She didn't want to be chasing Blacky throughout the castle constantly.
Sam stiffened when she felt his arm go around her, "Just because I'm being a bit nicer, doesn't mean you have the right to touch me without my permission," she stated, her voice cold once more, "The same rules apply. I haven't changed," she added bitterly, turning her head to the side to stare him down. She thought, even if he told people she was being nice, they probably wouldn't look into it that much, or believe him.
She raised an eyebrow curiously, "There has to be a reason you're afraid of them," she stated simply, "I mean, things like that don't just happen, normally," she continued, "Did you have a previous experience with a cat that wasn't all too pleasant?" she asked, studying his reaction closely as she said this, placing on of her hands on Blacky's sleeping head. She wasn't really planning on telling anyone, since there really wasn't a point. Though, it could work as good blackmail in the future, if she ever needed it.

Chris looked at Sam and then at the cat, there was something weird about the cat that he didnt like. Then again maybe he didnt like it just because of the fact it was a cat stupid cats and stupid phobia why cant i be scared of something im never actually going to see like... invisible flying pigs he thought knowing there was no such thing as an invisible lying pig and if there is the chances of seeing one is impossible as there invisible.
Chris smiled slightly as she had a got at him for putting his am around her "There's the sam i know" he said with a laugh, pulling his hand back from around her and resting both of his hands in his lap. "oh i wouldn't want you to change your.. interesting" he said unsure if it was the right word and if she would have a go at him for calling her it but to be honest she was interesting as he found a lot of people boring, it was a compliment realy.
Cris took a deep breath in as he thought for a moment then said "When i was young there was a cat on a fence.. it attacked me" he said then paused a moment looking away from her and down at the floor "I killed it" he then let out the deep breath he had took in a while ago. Chris could still see every second of the event in his head and to be honest the thought of it was making his hairs stand on end and he just wanted it to go away. [/size]
