Dark Arts Classroom

[Caden McGinnis]

"Coaxing 'em slowly," Caden mused at what Theodore said. Glancing at the Carrow brother, he gave a shrug, "Though, there's also the good ole' Legilimency, you could use it to really tap into the victim's head, see what their weaknesses are, and how you could exploit those weaknesses. Might even be the access you need to follow through with what you said," here, he gestured to the Slytherin boy. "Everyone has a different breaking point, after all, and a master legilimens will be able to determine exactly what a certain individual's is, and how to follow through with that."

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna slipped into her seat quietly when Amycus gave his permission and fiddled with her wand under her desk. She cleaned the blood from her robes then looked down at the raw marks over her palm. Her eyes flicked up to Theo for a moment and then turned her attention to the teacher, just letting everyone's words wash over her.

[Theo Nott]

Theo caught the look from Leanna, he would need to talk to her after classes. He was not exactly fond of what he had to do to one of his oldest friends.

[Alexander Chevalier]

Alex resolved to stay silent on this matter, deciding against enticing the man's direct attention. That had been extremely unnerving, the way the Carrow had analyzed him. He saw the debate within the dark eyes, the battle between catching onto his underlying spite and accepting his answer as the truth. Either way though, he didn't want to push his limits.

He glanced to Caden as he provided the man with an answer. Yes, it was definitely a reasonable reply.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco too opted to stay out of it this time, instead he turned his attention to the others in the class and away from the psyco leading it (well, not completely away, he didn't have a death wish).

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaise slips into the room and silently takes a seat hoping that his tardiness had gone unnoticed.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy gazed at their Professor, wondering what kind of right answer she could give. Obviously the man wasn't easy to please.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus scoffed lightly, casting the boy a musing glance.

"Legimensy is an inexact art, the precision you are talking about would be missing from all but the most skilled... however I'll give you points for thinking outside the box," he offered in an unusually fair moment, smile turning unpleasant. "And for having the spine to talk up when all your fellows have lost their tongues."

Before the man could continue however, they were interrupted by the sound of the door, the Death Eater turning to lock eyes on the hapless student as he slipped in.

"Zabini, isn't it?" he all but purred, prowling forwards to meet the young man as he made his way to his desk.

[Saka (M.H.)]

"Sir," Blaise responds glancing toward the professor, following his progression with impassive eyes. "It is, yes."

[Theo Nott]

Theo looked up from his spot beside the desk, surprised that the professor had left his comments alone. He watched as the man made his way towards Blaise and sighed, for a moment it seems that his ire was directed elsewhere. Theo thanked Merlin for this bit of good fortune.

[Amycus Carrow]

(Ack, sorry Theo, missed your post... assume Amycus is just ignoring him right now)

Amycus flashed the dark skinned boy a wolfish grin as he crooked a finger to summon him closer.

"Come here, sweet child... and explain to me why it is you're late..."

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaise takes in a deep breath before moving toward the professor and stands in front of him. "Well," he says licking his lidt to stale for time. He really could not tell him the absolute truth as that would lead to more troubles. " I was detained in the hallway." It was actually one of the closets but that again was something he was not getting into. "I was so hoping to get to your class early sir; but try as I might I just could not."

The Death Eater's grin turned into a smirk, hand lightly sliding around the boy's neck to pull him in close - intimately close as though they were sharing secrets, his long fingers absently caressing the skin despite the less than gentle hold.

"Detained how, darling boy?" he breathed to him. "I'd think long and hard before you answer... I would hate for you to mistakenly tell me something false. I do so hate being lied to."

[Saka (M.H.)]

"There was water," Blaise says softly his eyes drifting to the floor. "Obviously someone must have slipped and dumped their bucket or something. ANd when I was rushing to get here on time I was forced to slow down as someone else decided to cast a freezing charm on it." So most of it was the truth. He could not be held responsible for someone else misdeeds. He was not going to mention that he was posting a message to his moom.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Hmmm...." Amycus mused , finger still caressing, face still uncomfortably close to the other. "A plausable story... though I'm curious... why none of your classmates suffered the same delay if that were the case?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

"We went separate ways," Blaise says with a shrug if his shoulders. He was getting slightly uneasy with the professor so close but resolved not to show his distaste, he was already skating on very thin ice as it were right now. "I also lefgt before them, not my smartest move to date but I shall indiver to do better in the future":

[Amycus Carrow]

"Mmm," the pale man mused, his head shifting to lean his forehead against the side of Blaise's own, a small, laughing smile tugging at his lips. "Perhaps... but I'm confused Zabini... are you not a wizard? Did I have that wrong? Are you a squib after all?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

'of course I am a wizard," Blaise snarks in irritation. "I would not be here if I were not." Blaise fights the flinch at his tones knowing he had more then likely gone too far but he was overly irritated at this point.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus let out a soft chuckle, his hand slipping around to the front of Blaise's throat in a gentle caress.

"If that's the case..." he crooned, grip abruptly tightening, lightly squeezing the boy's larynx in a playful warning for the tone. Silly silly boy... "Why was a spot of ice such an issue for you sweet thing? Hmmmm?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

:I momentary was distracted by another issue," Blaise says softly keeping his eyes down cast. "Sorry, sir. It wil not happen again."

[Amycus Carrow]

"Another issue?" he echoed idly, eyebrow arching up. "What pray tell was so pressing that you deteriorated your thoughts to that of a lowly muggle?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

"Personal matters," Blaise says brisseling at the implication he was anything close to a muggle. Blaise was sure if the profesir were ti be worried for his sister that he would be diustracted, then again he may be granting to much credit to the older wizard. All he knew was that he was not goingto give the others the information he was after.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus's smile grew a moment.

"Good news Nott," he called over to the other boy lightly. "Looks like you just won yourself another chance to impress."

Just as he finished the words, the man's free hand came up to lash over the dark skinned boy's face in a vicious backhand slap.

"You need to learn some manners, Zabini," he informed the boy pleasantly. "When your Professor asks you a question, you answer without hesitation."

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaise nods his head slightly as he bites back a gasp at the slap/ "Yes, sir," he mutters softly.

[Amycus Carrow]

The dark haired man cocked his head arching an eyebrow as the boy yet again failed to answer him... He was begining to think the kid was slow... Honestly he would expect this behaviour from a Gryffindor, but that it was a Slytherin was just an embarrassing reminder how far wrong this school had gone.

Letting out a breath he rolled his eyes, before snapping his fingers to summon Nott closer.

"Theodore... lets see your mastery of the other unforgivables. Why don't you show Mr Zabini here what happens when someone tries my patience."

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaises eyes grew in size slightly before he takes a deep swallow. "It was not school related, the only one involved was smyself," Blaise tries not daring to move from his spot. He was not going to telll them he was in contact with his mother, it was bad enough the guy wanted her to change everything else, move back to Italy for him.

[Amycus Carrow]

The man actually scoffed as he glanced back at the boy, hand tightening around his throat again.

"Do I look like someone that gives a damn about your privacy, dear Blaise?" he asked him pleasantly. "I ask a question, you answer, straight away, with more detail than I even want."

Shoving the boy forwards, he flicked his gaze back to Theo, giving him an impatient gesture.

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaise stumbles slightly at the push before straitening and locking his knees. Things could not get any worse then this could they. Wait he remembered now Theo was to demonstrate an unforgivable, on what and which one.

[Theo Nott]

(No worries about the post it happens. And sorry about taking so long for this one.)

Theo watched the exchange between Blaise and Amycus. He was certainly glad that the professor was focused on someone else at the moment. With his eyes on the floor, he was still coming to grips with what had happened earlier and the insight into the correct use of the Imperious. His father had never gone into that much detail on the spell, just how to use it.

His eyes snapped up to the Professor when he spoke to him. Noting the gesture to come closer he moved toward the professor his wand coming up to point at Blaise. Hesitating for a moment he steeled his resolve as Blaise was shoved in front of him, he took a steadying breath and aimed his wand. Knowing that the professor did not want to kill the boy, at least he hoped so, he cast the other that he had not used yet.

"Crucio." The spell slipped from his lips almost as it was pleasurable. His entire focus was on the desired effect of causing Blaise to scream in pain, his eyes locked onto the other boys.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna watched the interaction between Blaise and Amycus, her eyes flicking to Theo as he moved forward. Her eyes narrowed, seeing the almost happy look on his face. She'd seen it often enough outside school. She hated when he used that expression. Her fingers fiddled lightly with her wand, resisting the urge to shoot a hex at Theo as punishment for enjoying what he was doing to his housemate.
