Dark Arts Classroom

[Theo Nott]

Theo winced as the professor grabbed him by the hair and pulled him tight against this chest. The look in the other man's eyes was terrifying, it spoke of pain, and promised long bouts of it. He nodded as best he could in response to the homework assignment.

Once he was released he waited for Blaise to answer, he heard the reply and sighed. "That can't be all of it Blaise, that would not cause you to be late, the letter would have to be something more than a bit of bad news." he commented, though to be fair he was assuming in this situation, he knew Blaise was protective of his mother, but was he that willing to be tortured, to be made an example of in the class of a Death Eater.

His wand raised, but the fatigue from the two previous castings of the spell prevented him from actually casting it a third time, even as he spoke the incantation. "Crucio." The spell had little to no effect.

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaise bites his lip not willing to scream yet again even as the curse hits him weaker then the last two. What did he want from him. He had told the truth. He had to answer his mothers post as soon as possible. A whimper escapes his lips as the spell is held even lomnger.

[Theo Nott]

Theo's arm fell to his side and his shoulders slumped in exhaustion, the spell ending. He was done, the magic while pleasurable had taken its toll on him, his eyes were now on the floor as his breathing was ragged.

[Saka (M.H.)]

BlaISE GRITS HI TEETH NOT DARING TO GET UP EVEN AS THE SPELL ENDED. The way things were going he was going top end up here again, and next time he may not fall as well. He was spent and at a lose of what else to say. He told them what he was doing and why, or most of it. Then again Draco had been the only one to actually care that he was in Italy all summer, which was an abnormal;ly for him, they usually spent the summers here. It was hard with his mother there and him here; but it was for the best he supposed.

[Amycus Carrow]

Amycus let out a snort of disgust, rolling his eyes as he hit Nott over the back of the head with a harsh blow.

"Idiot boy. What did I tell you about being a one trick pony," he sneered at him. "There are other spells to use to interigate someone, exhausting yourself on one is pointless and foolish. Get to your seat, and add learning how to think for myself to your homework. Next time I see such a flagrant display of idiocy I'll show you *personally* how to vary your technique, understand?"

That done he shoved the boy away and snapped his attention to Blaise's prone form.

"Last chance to talk sense boy or I loose my patience properly. No more games, no more dancing around the point or it wont be little puppy spells thrown at you any more. What note, what letter?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

Blaise takes a steadying breath before turning his head to the Professor as he pushes into a kneeling position. "My mother sent a note to me this morning expressing her intent to stay in Italy with her latest boyfriend," Blaise says deciding to give most of the information. "Having met the gentleman this summer I wanted to express my concerns and I suppose well wishes. It is nice that my mother has someone to look after her but I still worry after her." Any that knew his mother or had even heard of her knew she had a tendancy to move rather quickly from one to another.

[Theo Nott]

Theo doubled over at the blow, he knew it was coming, but could do nothing to stop it. He listened to the professors verbal attack and stumbled slightly when shoved, but did manage to make it to his seat. He nearly collapsed into it, but was able to slide in instead. "Yes sir." he said raising his eyes he watched Blaise and Aymcus.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna looked over as Theo sunk into his seat and leaned over to wack him over the back of the head, hard. "Didn't you get the memo about changing up what you do when it was me up there?" she hissed at him, as quietly as she could manage. "You and I need to talk."

[Theo Nott]

"Fine fine." Theo muttered even as his head rocked forward from the hit.

[Leanna Barker]

Leanna scowled at her friend then settled back into her chair, turning her eyes back to the front of class.

[Amycus Carrow]

Leaving Nott to stumble off, Amycus instead prowled over to where Blaise's trembling form knelt, his head bowed as his shoulders heaved with ragged breaths.

A large hand cupped the boy's jaw, gently, almost tenderly tilting his head back until dark brown eyes met with icy black, the Death Eater's lips curving up in a small, pleasant smile.

"Now sweet child... was that so very hard?" he asked him, tone falsely light as his thumb stroked the teenager's cheek.

[Pansy Parkinson]

Pansy's mouth was dry and her heart was beating fast but she stood still and watched. Her eyes followed Theo until he sat and wondered why her friend allowed the Ravenclaw to smack him.

[Saka (M.H.)]

"N..no," Blaise stutters out through raged breathes as he tries to rain in the tremors raging through his body. He was defiantly going to have to work on his pain tolerance and find a way to protect his mum. "It went against everything I have tried to do since I was old enough to know what it meant to be separated from my only remaining family by borders; but it was easier then I thought."
