Twilight was out in Hogsmeade. Surprisingly the streets were quiet and he guess was that many of the students had piled into the Three Broomstick for lunch. The weather was starting to get colder. Temps SLytherin scarf was wrapped around her neck, keeping it warm along with a baggy black hoodie and a pair of jeans. Although the smart idea would have been to hide in the glorious warmth of the student friendly pub her sweet tooth won and she marched over to Honeyduke's.
Her pale, small hand reachedout and grasped the handle, before pushing open the heavy door. Instantly she was hit with the strong smell of cocoa. Twilight entered and shut the door behind her before taking a deep breath and letting the intoxicating smell dance around her nostrils. She stood there for a mere moment before taking off down the aisle beginning to pick up some sweets. Fudge's, bars, lollipops... she even picked up osme blood pops for Rydell.
As she moved around the shop looking in the small basket at what she'd picked up Twilight came across the jelly section. Up on the top shelf sat her favourite treat. Jelly slugs. She set the basket down and got on her tip toes to reach the jar. She was so close. Her fingers grazed the class as Twilight stretched out, . Oh what she wouldn't give to be taller some days.

x Come and lay right on my bed, sit and drink some wine I'll try not to make you cry.
The boy walked down the street, he would always stand out from the crowd everywhere he went, If not because of his looks then, in this particular situation that he wasn't in classes, because of the way he dressed. He was now wearing a dark blue suit with a pink shirt under it and on top of it, a long beige jacket that gave him a sophisticated look. A multi colored scarf hanged on his chest and moved as the young Weasley walked, his blue eyes looking from one side to the other, searching for something interesting to do. Nothing crossed his mind at the moment, the three broomsticks would please him as well as a nice firewhiskey but the number of students that was inside the small pub made the place too noisy for him to enjoy it.
Stopping, Louis looked to the other side of the street, there stood the honeydukes sweetshop, he wasn't the biggest sweets fan around, but once in a while one wouldn't do any harm. Opening the door, the smell made him smile lightly and with it, he started walking around, the store didn't had many people so there was no need to rush. From the corner of his eye, Louis spotted a girl trying her best to pick some kind of candy from a shelf way too high for her to reach. Not recognizing, he walked to her and raising his arm he grabbed several sweets "Here you go" he said with a charming smile, but it didn't last long "You?Oh god..." he said rolling his eyes, waiting for her to accept the candies so he could leave.

Twilight was about ready to give up when someone had caught the jar and brought it down from the shelf. Temps smiled broadly and turned to thank the kind stranger, coming off her tip toes. The grin dropped when she saw who it was and heard his greeting. Even the amazing colours and smells of Honeyduke's could not right the wrong that was Louis Wealey. Her hair which had been blonde change to a jet black and her eyes a firey red. This was almost a routine thing when she saw Louis. Her emotion took over [so she could not control her power] and she often ended up lookinng demonic.
"No Weasley I'm not God. If I was I'd have probably been able to get the jar down by myself." she pointed out to him. Twilight then continued, "But if you want to call me that carry on, at least you know I have more authority than you." A small smirk was placed on her face. Her red eyes boring into Louis. She realised that the jelly slugs were in his hands. Twilights eyes changed to a blue colour as she reached out for them.

x Come and lay right on my bed, sit and drink some wine I'll try not to make you cry.[/font][/size][/right] As the girls hair turned from blond to black and her eyes to red, Louis raised an eyebrow "Here we go again" he claimed in a really low tone to himself. Lou went along with almost everybody in school, nobody had any complains and one needed to piss him of big time to make him act like he did with Twilight. He could honestly say he wasn't even sure when it started and why it started but one thing was for sure, as the years went by, he started enjoying those small encounters, the way she turned her appearance every time she saw him and the way they picked on each other, was rather...cute.
"But if you want to call me that carry on, at least you know I have more authority than you."
Laughing gently with an amused smile, he started moving the jar of sweets from one hand to the other "The only place I would let you have more authority than me, would be in bed, and even so, we would have to establish some rules" he teased laughing gently watching as her eyes changed color to blue. When she extended her hand in order to grab the jar, he moved it further from her "How bad you want them? he stated, starting to walk around the store, looking for something to take with him, people around had their eyes on them, it seemed their little scene was amusing them "And please..." he said over his shoulder with a grin "Don't go all purple on me" he teased about her ability to change her appearance, laughing while bitting his lower lip

She let out a short shaprp laugh. "There would have to be something seriously wrong with me to even consider me, you and a bed." Yes, she was a flirt, but she'd knocked Louis back a few years ago and ever since the arguments had been growing. And she enjoyed them. There was always a sense of satisfaction and warmth, whether the fight was won or loss, afterwards. "And even if I was crazy enough...rules are made to be broken. So who cares what you say." Twilight said simply.
Temps goraned mentally as he moved along the store with the sweets. Oh why had she gotten into the fight. Well one thing for sure; Twilight Tempest was not going to back down and leave without her jelly slugs. "Weasley just give me the sweets. It's not like you actually want them." Twilight sneered. She heard his little comment and changed her hair purple. "Oh I'm so sorry. Am I not colour co-ordinated for this fight, pretty boy?" It was obvious that he took pride in his appearance and he was extremely handsome. Temps wouldn't say it out alound, A) because she would never admit it and B) His ego didn't need the extra feeding.

x Come and lay right on my bed, sit and drink some wine I'll try not to make you cry.[/font][/size][/right] "There would have to be something seriously wrong with me to even consider me, you and a bed."
"You'd give everything for the pleasure of sleeping with me, luckily, I have good taste" he replied with a grin, she was very good looking but obviously Louis wouldn't let her know that he thought that, otherwise he was sure she would use that argument for the rest of her life just to pick on him. "Besides..." He stated turning his head to her, looking to her from head to toe "You wouldn't last 5 minutes, I'm just too much for you too handle" he added running his fingers through his hair in a seductive way adding a wink just to piss her of. "Rules are made to be broken?Uhh I'm such a bad girl, I bet you don't use matching socks just to show people how bad you are" he said sarcastically while shaking his head.
"Weasley just give me the sweets. It's not like you actually want them."
"Who told you I don't want them? I'm thinking about taking the whole jar " he claimed raising the jar to the level of his eyes, turning from one side to the other "Who knows, maybe they don't taste as bad as they look" he added with an eyebrow raised looking to the jelly slugs with his head slightly tilted to the side and a rather disgusted look "Only you to like these kind of things. Have you ever thought about eating something that not only tastes good but also looks...like food?" rolling his eyes he took the jar from the level of his eyes and moved the it from one hand to the other. From the corner of his eye he saw that the girl had turned her hair purple just to piss him off "Of course you have to be color coordinated, I can only be seen with good looking people, I have a reputation to maintain you know?" he teased doing a pose of superiority.

"No it's not that you have good taste darling. It just that you are actually smart enough to realise you could never get me, and so you don't try." Louis seriously made her want to tear her hair out. At times she wanted to just rip chunks out of him and show him she was just as tough as anyone else around the castle. "I don't need to prove I'm bad Louis, unlike some." she hissed. Oh what she wouldn't have given to turn around and scream she was with the junior death eaters. That she could easily have him killed. But she had more sense with that....and deep inside she was unhappy with her side. Twilight shook that off and listened to him.
She rolled her eyes. "To each their own alright?! I like jelly slugs so leave me alone." Twilight had sounded very childish but she didn't care. Her hair faded back to a blonde colour as she stood there looking up at him. "Oh dear Lord. Hw vain can one person get?" Twilight asked to the higher power. "Yes you can maintain your rep if you must not that I give a damn. You probably spend more hours in the mirror than I do."

Louis turned his head to her with an eyebrow raised and an amused smile playing in his lips. Walking to her he leaned forward staying just a couple of inches apart and with two finger he ran her cheek gently "I could If I tried" he stated almost in a whisper, feeling her breath against his lips. With a wink he leaned back and started walking around the store once again. "Are you saying I'm trying to prove I'm bad?I think you're confusing me with my cousins, I'm not the one playing pranks and having bad grades" he replied without looking at her. He was actually a very nice guy, never got himself in trouble and besides his night outs in the three broomsticks he did nothing against the rules. He wanted to be something great in the future and he didn't need to hang around with childish things he did in school in his curriculum.
To each their own alright?! I like jelly slugs so leave me alone."
Laughing he turned around and walked to her "Fine, here you go" he said with a charming smile happy her hair had turned blond again, that had never happened before in his presence and he was glad it did now. He really didn't want those sweets, he just wanted to tease her, and he had been able to. "Well, the only reason I spend a lot of time in front of the mirror is just because I love what I see. My beauty is natural" His mother was a quarter veela and his grandmother half so Louis good looks were somewhat magic, maybe one of the reasons girls felt for him so easily.

Twilight stood there, anchored to the spot as he had topped and was mere inches away from her. Louis had this intoxicating scent about him. Twilight will her body not to do anything stupid. For how easy would it have been to lean forward and press her lips against the ones that were currenty infront of her and taunting her. She was melting inside but held strong and kept a stern look upon her features. "I'm not getting confused." She knew he was the all around nice guy and flirt. There probably wasn't one person in the castle that didn't know Louis. Especially if that person was female.
Twilight grinned as she had gained the Jelly Slugs. "I knew you didn't want them." Her sugar thirst would now be quenched.Twilight then nodded, she kne Louis had some type of Veela in him. "Yeah and I bet you love the fact that it gives you an advantage with nearly every girl you meet." she said walking to the counter. And that was one reason Twilight had never shown her interest in Louis. He was part Veela. Able to get who ever he wanted and she refused to be one of those people. "Any and every girl you want fawning over you. Blessed by the smouldering look of Louis Weasley." Her tone was slightly sharper than before.

Louis didn't smile neither did he laugh, he just watched her as she went to the counter, how wrong was she. Following her, he picked a lollipop on the way "I don't..." he stated still without laughing or smiling "Why do you think I run from any type of relationship? How great do you think it is to be wondering If the person you're with likes you for who you are as a human being or she just likes you because you have veela blood and are popular? he stated without looking at Twilight. Taking several coins from his pocket he placed them on the counter "Thinking that maybe If I wasn't born among one of the most famous families in england, If I didn't had a mother quarter veela. The girl that's sitting across me wouldn't look at me twice. How can I have anything serious If I'm not sure about if they like me for who I am or for what I am?" he added rhetorically.That had been a tough subject to talk about, It seemed the 'oh so great' Louis Weasley had his own issues after all, he wasn't as strong as everybody seemed to think.
Smiling warmly, he turned his head to the blond girl and winked "Still, I'm better than you" showing his tongue in a rather childish way, he left the money on the counter and with a wink he started leaving the store, unwrapping his lollipop and placing it on his mouth...strawberry. "hmmm"

Twilight had paid for her goods and stuffed them in her bag as she listened to Louis. He features softened. Maybe life wasn't as easy as she had though it was for him. She looked up at him with a soft gaze and part of Twilight wanted to telll him that she liked him. Liked him for his quick wit and sharp tongue. Loved his cheeky personality and that the looks were just an added bonus. His fmily and his bloodline didn't bother her at all. Temps was seriously contemplating it "....Well I..." but she was cut off.
Louis' next comment had brought her back down to earth and she raised an eyebrow, " And hear I was beginning to think you were human. Louis only in your dreams would you be better than me." she said moving after him. She didn't want him to win this argument. Twilight wanted to come away the victor today.

Louis laughed gently with the lollipop in his mouth as the girl rushed behind him to counter-attack his last statement "Well..." leaning his upper body slightly back, he looked to her 'lower back' and continued walking "I guess your ass is better than mine" he teased grinning without looking at her as they left the store "Other than that, I guess you're living in my dream, because there's no doubt I'm better than you" he added. Their fights could continue for hours if they wanted to, neither one of them wanted the other to have the last word and would say anything just come out on top, it was funny how these two acted and everybody around school already knew what they did every time they came across each other.
Once they had had a fight in the great hall at dinner, one sitting on the slytherin table the other in the gryffindor, nobody spoke as they both continued their argument. It was more than a simple house competition, what they had was more personal and not so harsh.Looking to the girl and then back to the street they were on he spoke after taking the lollipop from his mouth "Are you following me? he teased pretending to be shocked.

Craning her head around she looked at where Louis's focus was. She glared slightly as he commented on her rear end. "I wish you would just give up, because I know deep down you know I am better than you by miles." SHe could sense they would move in circles with the argument but this was just routine. Honestly, Twilight was almost certain that many of the other students could mouth the comebacks each would give to the other. Twilight would never give up because she didn't want Louis to win and she loved those moments of talking to him even if they were harsher words.
"Following you?" she scoffed. "Do not flatter yourself...It just so happens I'm..." But Twilight stopped as an owl flutted around her. SHe calmed it down but the colour drained from her face. Temps knew wheere the owl was from and tore the letter away from it's leg. The official seal on the back of the envelope only confirmed her fear that it was from St Mungo's. Twilight didn't dare open it. To open it was to unleash the chaos into her world. If she didn't open it she would never know for sure.

Louis didn't reply, instead he kept walking by the girls side, shaking his head for a moment with a light laugh. There was no chance of being able to finish that discussion, both of them would continue saying they were better than the other one no matter what. It was funny how things turned out to be, at first their insults were rather harsh and had the intent of hurting the other one, now they were just playful and to get on the others nerves. Even though Louis wouldn't admit it, he had grown to feel something for her, he wasn't able to move his eyes when she passed by him with a light smile on his lips, and when he saw her with other guys a little of jealousy hit him.
"Do not flatter yourself...It just so happens I'm..."
Louis looked to the girl with an eyebrow raised waiting for the rest of the answer but instead she was looking up and he did the same, an owl started flying around her. He stopped and saw as the girl lost all her color. With his lollipop in his mouth he watched as the girl seemed reluctant to open the letter, the sign on it belonged to St Mungos and he questioned himself what did that had to do with Twilight. "Are you ok?" he asked in a warm voice.

Twilight heard the question and managed to shake her head. She felt so numb, as if everything around had kept going and there she was, lost to the world. Temps dropped the bag of sweets and tore open the letter. Maybe she was wrong. Perhaps it was good news after all. Tearing the envelope Twilight pulled out the parchment and her stomach dropped at the words printed upon the paper. Dear Miss Tempest,
We regret to inform you that your father, Zephyr Tempest, passed away on, September 13, 12:52 pm. We had done all we could to help your father.... The letter went on to explain the situation and twilight was shaking by the time she had finished. She had paled considerably and he blue eyes had welled up with tears. The one constant in her life, the person she trusted and knew her inside out was suddenly...gone.
