we're going down swinging

as katrina stormed out of madam puddifoot's, she didn't notice how dark it was, but it was only then did she really let her anger out. she groaned loudly and was keeping a quick, steady pace as she stormed down the empty street. she passed one block, missing the shadow hiding in it as it slowly came out of hiding behind her. and as she passed a few other shops, about two other shadows joined that first one. she was too concentrated on her footing to pay attention, so when she heard a loud yell as someone cast a spell her way and then she gasped as her book bag soared up into the air. she spun around and saw three old men walking toward her, grins on their faces.

she whipped her wand from behind her ear and held it ouf at them threateningly. it was only when someone called "accio" did her wand slip from her grasp and she became genuinely worried. she froze and her skin paled. she didn't think there was anyone around to hear her scream since she was on the path to hogwarts. she distinctly heard one of the captures saying something like, "ooh, fresh hogwarts meat. my favourite" but kat wasn't paying much attention to what they were saying. she wasn't trained in physical combat, so she became worried as they circled her. one finally grabbed her by the scruff of her collar and she gasped, a small, queit scream issuing from her lips.

Paxton lugged himself outside and shivered, it had indeed gotten colder from this after noon. He hugged his robes closer to him and blew warmth into her hands. It might not have been winder, but it was still cold out there for fall. He muttered to himself about the afternoon he had had, with Katrina O’Neil, the sqeaky clean perfectionist. It was hilarious to him how she still carried a boyfriend. Sighing to himself he looked across the street and saw hoodlums hanging outside of certain stores, harassing any person who came out. Paxton rolled his eyes at them, they had absolutely nothing better to do than harass people for all they had, although the bums themselves had nothing.

As he turned the corner onto a second street he saw Katrina hanging out with Three men, but he knew Katrina better than that she wouldn’t associate herself with people like that. Soon after he saw then taunting her, and they made her book bag soar straight into the air as they passed it between the three of them with the wands. He stepped closer, but kept his distance, so he decided to peer from behind a wall.

Right then a man ran up to Katrina and grabbed her from around her collar and began tossing her around. Paxton was appalled even if it was Katrina. The strange man held his wand right above Katrina’s head, and Paxton didn’t have a clue what to do, so he didn the first thing that came to mind. Revela himself.

“HEY!” Paxton yelled, hopefully he startled the men. They turned to see who called, and saw him. One kept Katrina in his grasp and the other came charging towards Paxton with his wand point “Ava-” but before the man could finish his curse Paxton roared “Expelliarmus!” And retrieved the man wand before any harm was done to anything .

katrina was just about to scream when she heard the most unfamiliar voice she could have ever heard. alright, well it wasn't unfamiliar, it was just freakishly unexpected. she would have gaped and asked him what the hell he was doing here had she not been terrified. the guy who held her wand raised it and was beginning a curse, but paxton cut him off before he had a chance to even finish the first word, though kat knew very well what it would be. his and kat's wand flew into the air. kat caught hers and pointed it at the old bloke holding her. "FURNUCULUS!" she shouted, barely noticing if her aim worked, but she assumed it had since he released his hold on her and she dashed away as fast as she could. but before she had had a chance to get away, one of the other guys grabbed her arms. she let out another sort of gasp and fell back against his chest, terrified since she dropped her wand.

no one seemed to have noticed except for herself. maybe paxton had, but he wasn't showing it. crap, crap, crap, crap... she kept repeating those words in her mind. she was about to try and punch the guy holding her but he whacked her in the head and she felt a little dizzy and stopped all attempts. though, through what she could see, she saw a few flashes of yellow light.

occ: lolz, the icons i'm using are of gaspard ulliel & emma watson... haha, see how sadly obsessed i am with kat? bwuah <3

Paxton watched as the wands floated up into the sky and Katrina caught her. Paxton sighed a sigh of relief, if it had gotten into someone else’s hands something worse could have happened. Thankfully Paxton had acted quickly before the unforgivable curse was fully uttered or something. He ran towards them when Katrina cursed one of them. Good think he thought to himself, but then another man grabbed her arm and pulled her towards him. He heard he gasp and something fell towards the ground. A wand, and it wasn’t any of the other males. Paxton quickly scooped it up and put it into the large pocket of his robe.

Paxton got up and saw two men heading toward him. They seemed about to say something when Paxton called out “Finite Incantatum” hoping to stop incoming spells “Stupefy” Paxton roared loudly, as they stopped in their tracks. However there as still the big one holding onto Katrina. Running up closer to then Paxton yelled “Petrificus Totalus” Hoping to bind the big man, which it did, and as it happened Paxton pulled Katrina up, and handed her back her wand “Are you alright?” He aske,d hoping she was. This was an experience that he hoped wouldn’t happen again, but their battle wasn’t over yet…

bawhaha, I just realize that!

kat heard a rush of spells and saw the ground coming nearer and nearer. she didn't feel like she could stop herself from falling, but as she put out her hands, she saved herself from a bloody nose and having to beg paxton to fix it for her with that one, simple spell most sixth years probably knew by now. kat rubbed the back of her head as she lifted herself onto her knees and felt herself being lifted up. she wasn't paying attention to what was going on until she heard someone's voice, a voice that seemed to be coming from far away and not right beside her. but she saw his lips moving and seemed to just assume it was the man beside her who had said those things.

kat's fingers enclosed around her wand as she clung to whoever this was, trying not to fall over. it was only when she looked up into the usually cold, bitter eyes did she realize that they were warm. she could have sworn there was a little bit of worry in them. she gulped, nodding aimlessly like she couldn't remember anything. but all she did notice was that she didn't let go, and paxton didn't let go either. she let her eyes wander from his eyes to his lips, and very slowly back to his eyes again.

no, no, no this is all wrong. all, completley, and utterly wrong. she said to herself, over and over and over again. she felt her breathing come little fast pants as though she had been running a marathon moments previously. and for about five milliseconds she thought she saw the same thing in his eyes too before it had disappeared and the regular, bitter, cool emotion returned and she slowly felt herself calm down, but she still didn't let go yet.

Paxton stood there watching then men as lay there then looked back down at Katrina, worried. As he looked down he saw her looking up at him and she smiled and slight smile at her. He was clueless why she smiled at him, but it didn’t bother him which was strange. After he asked her his question she nodded slowly, and looked down at his hand which was still clasped to hers. It was strange how she looked just at this moment, vulnerable, scared, uncertain because Katrina always seemed to be certain of herself, well most of the time. This was an exception, she was just attacked by three random males who could have done god knows what to her.

Paxton stared at her a little longer before removing his gaze and saw the three men getting up. While they struggled to their feet Paxton began walking backwards, tugging Katrina with him.
“I hope you can run fast.” He whispered into the air, and hopefully she caught what he was saying. He turned towards her and saw that she was still terrified, and followed her gaze and saw the guys were fully on their feet and had their wand in their hands. Crap… was all Paxton thought at that moment.

The big bloke who had Katrina in his meaty hands was the most stable of them all. He raised his wand and cursed “Diffindo!” before Paxton had anytime to react the spell made contact with his arm and he fell to the ground in pain.

kat tore her gaze away from paxton as she heard a few grunts from behind. her grip tightened as she was pulled backwards, slowly but surely. her legs were a little wobbly, but she thought she'd manage. you hope i can run fast... i hope i can... she thought worriedly. she was never really a fast runner, but right now she hoped she would be. she was terrified as one of the men, the biggest, bulkiest one came toward them, his wand raised. before either of them had time to react, paxton was doubled over in pain and kat's eyes widened in shock. but somehow, that shock turned to terror as she started shooting curses out in all directions. on hex hit the skinniest man right in the face and he began sprouting boils everywhere and another was hit with a stunning spell. whereas the biggest bloke was thrown off his feet and into a nearby tree.

"ohmigosh..." kat muttered to herself, lowering her wand as she stared at the large and bleeding cut on paxton's arm. she quickly helped him up and held him steady as she led them into a patch of trees, right on the edge of the forbidden forest. she sat him down so he leaned on a rock and removed his hand which was covered in blood. kat was shaking now, and she didn't get why she cared so much.. since only an hour ago, she wouldn't care if he got hurt. but for some reason now...? she shook the thoughts out of her mind and conjured bandages out of thin air.

"i-i'm going to let madam pomfrey heal you, since if i do it... well, it won't be a good job." she said, her voice quivering as she wrapped the bandages around paxton's muscled arm. her hands were shaking as she knelt beside him and glanced up at his face. it look screwed up in pain. before she knew what she was doing, she stroked his hair. once though, before she quickly pulled it away. so, it really was as silky as everyone said it was. but before she could do or say anything, she heard one of the bloke's outside of the tree's yell something to the others. she could barely make out a finger pointing in the direction of hogsmeade and the group ran off.

she exhaled a sigh of relief and glanced back at paxton. she nibbled on her lower lip and tucked some hair behind her ear, still feeling open and vulnerable. she felt her eyes well up with tears as she looked down in her lap. "i-i'm so sorry.." she said, letting a tear loose from her now pale blue eyes. she felt a little pink in the corners, but she didn't think it was obvious enough for anyone to see it.

The harsh pain from the curse shot up his arms making him double over in pain, and fell to the ground. He was hoping someone strong enough would come by and save them, he knew Katrina couldn’t save him. As he looked up he saw Katrina send one man into a tree, a hex hit the skinniest man of them all, and she sent a stunning curse at the other. Through his pain, Paxton breath a sigh of relief, at least she paid attention to her classes unlike some people he hung around.

After Katrina finished she glance down at his bleeding hand, the blood was spewing out of his arm fast, and if he wasn’t going to get help soon he was going to pass out. He was in too much pain to do it himself, plus he might not even do it well enough. Katrina helped him up and lugged him over to a near by tree with a rock beside it, and leaned him up against the rock, and he groaned in pain. Katrina took his hand and turned it over to reveal a large amount of blood. He took his hand back and held it close to himself, worried about what she would do. Earlier today she was pissed at him, this was the perfect moment to get back at him. That’s what scared him the most, if she was going to hurt him in such an unstable state.

“That’s the best idea, I was thinking about doing myself, but my hand hurts too much.” Paxton smiled slightly, but it hurt to smile, even if the pain was in his hand. He watched her wrap the bandages and he felt childish, having to let someone else help him, but he didn’t mind… as much. He glanced down at him hand and frowned, before the bandage was on it, it hurt a lot less, the pressure was killing him. His vision was obscured and he couldn’t see straight, and closed his eyes. Before he knew it he felt a hand graze his hair and looked up to see Katrina stroking his hair and looked at her questionably. Why was she helping him or stroking his hair? He thought he hated her. He peered down at his hand and the glanced back at her. “Thank you.” He mumbled quietly an looked back down at his hand. He felt useless sitting there, and he wished he could give those guys a piece of his mind.

When Paxton looked back up he saw Katrina cry and was amazed. He never saw he look anything but mad, nevertheless cry. He stared at her with a strange expression on his face and hear dher mumble I’m sorry. “It’s not your fault I guess. But you really shouldn’t be wondering around so late by yourself.” Paxton announced and rolled his eyes at her.

kat returned the smile and scooted a little further away from him, since she didn't think he'd want her too close to him right now. especially since she was pretty scared and er... traumatized, to say the least. she ran her fingers through her hair and exhaled slowly as she flattened her skirt and hugged herself. she was a little cold and it didn't look like paxton was quite ready to go back up to the castle. she huddled against a tree, tugging her robes a little tighter around her bare arms and kept her mouth shut. she kept glancing nervously at paxton, as though waiting for him to scream in pain or.. or die or something, but he remained quite calm. and again, she felt a flicker of either annoyance or admiration. whichever it was, kat shook it off before she had the chance to act on it.

when paxton rolled his eyes at her, she even laughed a little through her very pink face. she was glad he was back to normal again, so obviously that meant he wasn't... hurt or anything. minus the arm. she pulled out her wand and twirled it between her fingers before she made a few golden sparks fly out of it and sparkle around her, and in a way making her glow. she glanced between the branches of the trees up at hogwarts. she wouldn't say it allowed, but at the moment she didn't really want to go back. she enjoyed the silence, and having paxton about two feet away and not fighting? that seemed to make her feel a little better, but out of habit, she glanced at him.

"are you ready to go back up? or... or do you want to stay?" she asked in a weak whisper.
