Rydell walked up the stairs to the owlery with a letter in his hand, he was sending it to the Ministry's resident vampire trying to find out what he could do to reduce the desire for human blood so he could control himself better. He had encountered student after student and wanted to drain each and every one of them. He was lucky that he hadn't run into anyone up here yet.
Rydell quickly tied the letter to an Wood Owls leg and gave it a small chunk of rat meat as a treat before it flew off. He watched it and sighed before turning to leave.

Twilight moved up the stairs quietly to the owlery. She was dressed in her Slytherin uniform and had a letter in her hand. It was to be sent to the Ministry to see if there was work within a certain department and what it took to work there. The door was already open and as she reach the top step she saw Rydell. "Hey hun," she greeted him with a smile. "Everything ok?" She often bumped into Rydell these days but couldn't really complain since he always seemed to make a smile grace her face.

Rydell looked at her in shock and a little bit of anger. Here was the one girl he really didn't want to see at the moment. He hadn't eaten in a few days and his normally Grayish Blue eyes were a vivid red. "Not really." he said to her, "Just haven't eaten in a few days is all." he said. Restraining himself from jumping at her. "How are you?" he asked her as he moved out of the way so she could send the letter that was in her hand.
Rydell looked away so she couldn't see his eyes for very long. It was a give away to most that the Vampire is thinking of feeding. And he didn't want to feed on his friend. He watched a few of the owls before picking one that might do to get a few squirrels for him.

Twilight was so absorbed with her current task that she was only semi focused on Rydell. She shuffled past him and whistled sharply for her owl. "Oh, I take it you haven't found anything. I'm sure you will though." Twilight reassured him as she tied the letter to the owl. "Off to the Ministry." She leaned out of the window slightly watching the bird fly off. "Yeah I've been alright I guess. Feeling a lot better and trying to get some things sorted for when I leave." Temps pushed herself up onto the window ledge, her already too short skirt hitching up slightly, showing off her pale smooth thighs.
She brushed hair from her face and leaned against the stone frame of the window as two owls swooped out to do jobs. "So what are you doing up here?" Twilight now turned to look at him as the letter was no longer playing on her mind.

Rydell glanced at her, "Nothing yet." he said, "I found some squirrels and things like that out in the forest, but I can't keep living of animals." he said, "I sent a letter the ministry's resident Vampire to see if he had any suggestions for me." he said to her as he looked away. He could clearly make out the veins in her body pumping blood and it was getting harder to resist the longer he looked at her.
"Job things I am assuming" he said to her as he listened. "For after you get done with school" he added as he looked out a nearby window. "I still have another year here before I can really be looking for a job to get out of here." he said to her. "What do you think you might be doing?" he asked.

Twilight nodded. "I guess if anyone knows what to do it'll be him." She hoped that it got sorted out soon. After all, she hated seeing a friend in pain and that was Rydell's current situation. Twilight looked out of the window and down at the grounds. Her deep brown orbs watching the students that were wandering around the grounds, either mitching or on a free period.
"Yeah all jobs stuff. I know what I want to do. Iguess I've known for a while but I didn';t want to admit it while Dad was here. I really want to be an Auror. I know I'd be almost asking for death with the position I'm in but I really don't care." She had always been the different SLytherin but Twilight honestly could not see herself happier in any other job apart from Auror. "If I can get on the course and then get a job you have no idea how happy I'd be."she explained. For once Temps believed she'd be able to do it, because for once it was something she wanted.

Rydell nodded, "You can do it." he said to her as he looked out the window with her. "I have a feeling that you can do whatever you set your mind to." he said to her as he glanced at her once more, looking at her face he fought the beast down some more. "After all, you are talented, smarter then you give yourself credit for and you are really, really attractive." he said to her as he looked at her still.
He waited for a few more moments before looking back down at the grounds from up here he could only see the students, not the blood, not the pulse. It wasn't as tempting as the girl up here with him. "I'm sorry if I sound a little stressed at the moment, But I am sure that you understand why." he said to her as he looked back at her.

"Here's hoping. I just sent the owl asking for some more information on the job." She knew the reply would be leaflets and such that she should have picked up in her fifth year. Hearing what Rydell said she went a little pink in the cheeks. "Thank Rydell." Temps said quietly to him. Wasn't often that people complimented her. He was so sweet and she was glad to have him as a friend. How glad, Temps was now, that they had met out in the courtyard that day,
"Don't apologize." she said simply. "I understand. It's got to be difficult when no one else is going through it with you...and the one thing that's going to calm you is everywhere... I don't know how you do it." Twilight said looking at him. He must have so much self cntrol not to just jump at anyone but even with self control it was cound to be a bit of a struggle. "You know if you ever want to escape from everyone else all you have to do it owl me and we can meet up." Twilight reminded him.

"I avoid people" he said in response to her comment. "I don't go to classes, I don't go to meals with everyone." he said "I do my best to stay alone and away from everyone. Even my friends." he said. "I don't get in trouble because the teachers know what I am. They are afraid I might do something in their classes if I am left to my own methods." he said to her. "They are right in a way. I will eventually hurt someone. Maybe not the someone they expect but I feel it in my bones." he said to her as he looked over at her, His Vivid red eyes taking in her. "And I don't want that to happen." He said.
"Thank you" he said, "I will owl you whenever I feel like escaping. I want you to do the same." he said. "When ever you need to have someone to talk to just send me an owl." he added. "I will be there for you" Rydell said as he turned back to face the owlery.

"Yeah, that makes a lot of sense." she said quietly. "But I still don't feel it's right for you to cut yourself off even if it is good for others." She was torn on the subject. Temps didn't want people hurt and yet didn't want Rydell alone. There was no way to please both parties. She sighed heavily and then heard him speak. Grinning she hopped down from the ledge and hugged Rydell tightly. "You know what...I think you're replacing Nigel... which may not be such a bad thing."

Rydell's eyes flashed red as soon as she hugged him and he had to push her away from him fast as he walked across to the other side of the owlery. he bent down and put his head between his knees as he fought for control over himself. "I..... " he managed to get out as he shook slightly. "I... can't." he said as he looked up and saw an owl nearby he jumped up and grabbed it as fast as he could and took a big breath before biting down on the struggling animal.

Temps was a little taken aback when he pushed her away. But when he had gone over to the other side of the room she realised whathad happened. "I'm sorry Rydell. I wans't thinking." How stupid was she? He was probably able to hear her pulse loud and clear. "RYDELL!" Twilight shouted at him as he grabbed the owl and bit on it. "What the hell?!" The creature wa struggling in his grasp and Temps had to look away. She had sheen grown men squirm from the Cruitatus curse and hadn't flinched but that was bad.

Rydell didn't drain the poor creature. He took just enough to be able to fight his hunger longer. He put the Owl on the ground and watched as it tried to bite him, he pulled his hand back and shoved it into his pocket he pulled out the small bag of rat meat and opened it up. He scooped out two peices and put them on the ground in front of the owl.
He moved across the room toward a window. "I'm sorry Twilight, I am sorry that you had to see that." he said to her as he wrapped his arms around himself ashamed. "I just couldn't hold back any longer." he said to her.

Twilight wouldn't look at him. She looked about ready to be sick. "I've witnessed gross things in my life and I can deal but not cruelty to animals. I uderstand you have to Rydell but could you at least try not infront of me next time. It's not partiularly pleasant watching you feed." she hissed at him. Twilight leaned out the window taking deep breaths. Once she calmed she said, "My offer still stands." Twilight was on about offering herself to Rydell. Once again, she hated seeing her friends in pain and just wanted to help.

Rydell couldn't look at Twilight he was so ashamed of himself. "I.. Can't" he said to her, "I don't want you to suffer because I need to eat." he said to her, all he had ever heard from his family is that if he fed off a human, that human would be changed to a vampire for the rest of their lives. And they would curse him for all of eternity. "I have been in the forest for a very long time because I can't be around anyone." he said to her, "Feeding off of deer and squirrels." he said to her.
He looked at her, his eyes back to normal.. Almost they were grayish blue with streaks of red running through. "I can't do that to you. One of the few people I actually care about." he said. "It would gut me if I did." he added.
