She was a moment shy of blocking his silencing spell, which would of course make things more difficult. Once the spell hit her she was no longer able to speak, rendering all verbal incantations useless. And while she had performed many non-verbal spells in practice, she had yet to try while someone was firing curses left and right at her. This was going to be interesting. And as she had expected Rystain, the cunning boy he was, had not wasted a moment in sending another curse her way. She went for the easiest charm she could think of, which was another shield. Many times more difficult now that she had to focus her entire self into casting the Shield Charm without speaking, she was able to minimize the impact of his curse. She only felt a faint tickling in her stomach, one which wouldn't have caused laughter even if she was capable of making a sound. Finite, she focused again solely on the spell she was casting, to relieve the curse Rystain had hit her with.

Rystain wasn't about to stop there he was enjoying watching that fire look blooming in her eyes. He liked watching her concentrate, her chest rose when she did it and ... he released the next spell.. "Incarcerous!" ... and one more for good measure, missing only a moment to correctly flick his wand... "Mobilicorpus!" .. the end effect hopefully being her tied up and hanging in the air... he was a man with a plan and concentrated hard.

He was firing spells so quickly she barely had time to respond. Would she even have been able to counter them all if she had had her voice to assist her? Rystain, the sneak, liked to play that he was not very good at Defense. But Lyra knew better, and here was the proof. With both spells unblocked, she was now wrapped tightly in thick ropes and hanging in the air. Her wand laid on the floor below her and her fingers wriggled through the binds to try, in vain, to reach it. She still could not speak, which was a good thing or else the string of obscenities she would utter at him now would have lost her well over 50 house points.

Rystain gave his most charming smile as he very slowly, and almost casually walked up to her, held her wand to the floor with his foot just in case and leaned down and kissed her while she couldn't do much about it, while the teacher wasn't looking of course. "I win, darling." He was close to her ear and he whispered softly, "..but for the effort I'll let you win part of the bet for at least one evening anyways." He stepped back and grinned before picking up her wand and putting it in her hand so she could find a way out by herself. He had no doubts she could get herself out now that she had her wand back, even if it was non-verbally.

Of all the kisses she'd had in her life, she had never had one while being tied up, levitated, and muted, all in a very full class. If she wasn't so annoyed by the whole thing she would have been flattered at his obviously planned high-jinx. Of course, once his lips were on hers she almost forgot to be aggravated by him. They had exchanged a few pleasant pecks here and there over the years of their friendship, but she hadn't thought anything more of it. Until now. He was definitely in the top five on her best kisser list, maybe higher if it had been slightly longer and she'd had use of the rest of her body.
When he stepped away he placed her wand in her hand, giving her the chance to release herself. She took half a second to clear her head from the kiss, then focused all her engery on releasing herself. Finite Incantatem. All at once the ropes vanished, her voice returned, and gravity again took hold of her. And she hadn't thought to conjure a pillow to catch her fall. Great.

Sam didn't miss the interaction between the two and she would have helped Lyra but Ry had given her back her wand she saw the girl eliminate all jinxes and opened her mouth to warn her about the fall, but there was nothing to be done. She smiled at Seth and put a finger up as if to say "one moment" before she headed Lyra's way.
"Hey, love...impressive wasn't he?" she asked with a small smile as she offered her hand so Lyra could stand, "You'll get him next time of course."

"Hmm...impressive..." Lyra took Sam's hand and pulled up from the ground. "Thanks," she said absentmindedly. She rubbed her bum where it had met with the floor so harshly.

She gave her friend a smirk, "It didn't look as if you disliked it *that* much." she said as if teasing because she saw the kiss. She was still smiling though, if Lyra could find happiness then all the luck to her.

Rystain walked over towards Seth the moment that he noticed Sam headed towards Lyra. He wasn't gloating on the outside but he was grining from ear to ear on the inside. She had actually kissed very well, even under durress. He'd originally meant it to taunt her but he wouldnt mind finding out what else she had experience in. He didn't turn his back on the girls though just in case but as he reached Seth he stood where he could watch both and still talk to him.
"Hey Seth, how's your spar against Sam going?" He hadn't noticed anyone else around them until he'd been about to kiss Lyra just to make sure the professor was looking the other way. No need to have them loose points over it. So he was asking in sincerity but he was still watching the two beautiful slytherin girls.

"Mind your own business," Lyra replied jokingly, playfully pushing Sam away. Though Sam had correctly pointed out that she had not disliked the kiss. But it hadn't been expected. She wasn't planning on anything coming from it, other than his promise to her for a one day servant. But should she deny it since he had so clearly won? No. She would be missing out on too much fun.

"Oh like you mind yours?" she laughed knowing the girl was a snoop as well and anytime there was something new and gossipworthy about Sam Lyra had to know, heaven forbid Sam tease Lyra the same way.

"Course, our duel isn't nearly half as fun as the fun you and Lyra are having over there," Seth teased. |

"eeh.. a few more years and I'm sure you'll be able to do the same. Besides it's more fun when you can enjoy a duel and catch them off guard. If they expect you to to do one thing and you do the other, you have the upper hand. It's like playing wizard's chess... you just have to think a few steps ahead." He happened to be very good at wizard's chess too of all things, which he knew was normally a Ravenclaw favorite.
"Oh and .. practice your defense spells the most. If you can stop an onslaught you can win easier when you get the offensive. Because they are thinking offensively instead of defensively, and usually you can sneak in the one that makes the difference." He actually got along with Seth even though he was a few years younger. He kind of reminded him of himself at his age in some ways.

"Defence, got it," Seth nodded, taking Rystain's advice. He liked having Rystain as a friend. He didn't really treat Seth like some dumb 4th years like a lot of other people did.
"You any good at Wizard's Chess?" Seth asked. He liked the game, personally. It was the only thing he and his father could agree upon, and that was that Seth would always beat his father in chess.

"I wonder what they're talking about now." Sam said nodding towards her their partners as it seemed they had switched. She sighed, "So have you given any thought as to who you're going to take to the Yule Ball Lyra?"

Rystain nodded to Seth, "yeah I'm okay with it, I enjoy the strategy behind it. But I won't lie, I don't always win.. but.. I enjoy it. You wanna play sometime?" Rystain had a hard time finding good wizarding chess opponents in Slytherin and would be interested if Seth actually liked it too. It would be good to find someone he could play against.

"Let's join them what do you say?" she asked, " I don't know if I trust Rystain's influence on Seth." she teased although she liked Rystain very much, she liked Seth as well, but Seth had his heart on one girl and one girl only and that was sweet to her, "Another Heartbreaker is the last thing Slytherin needs."

Lyra looked over at the boys, she had no idea what they were talking about. The room was so loud with the other students still practicing their counter-curses, if you weren't being spoken to directly it would just blend in with all the other sounds. Lyra shrugged and said, "I have no idea. They're probably just talking about quidditch or something. I can't imaginethose two have much in common."
To Sam's next question her response wasn't much more creative. "I really haven't given it any thought. The Yule Ball seems so far away right now, even though its really not. Do you have anyone particular in mind?" Certainly Sam could have her pick of any of the guys in the school. Even the older ones.
Lyra shrugged again but this time said, "sure. Rystain would definitely have his work cut out for him if he were going to try to turn Seth into a heartbreaker. Seth's too sweet for that." She headed in their direction with Sam. "Comparing victories Rystain?"

Rystain winked conspiratorially at Seth making sure the girls could see it. "Oh nothing, just comparing strategies on.... things" He wasn't about to tell them that they were talking about wizarding chess of all things, he had an image to keep up after all. He hoped Seth would play along with his story. He liked the kid, probably because he was different than most of the others in Slytherin and despite his own reputation, he knew there were qualities of himself in Seth and he got along with him regardless of what others might suspect.

"I have someone in mind." she said with a secret smile when asked about the ball.
As Lyra walked over Sam joined her and winked at Seth. She liked him too, he was a decent person surrounded by snakes but managed to remain nice, he was going to turn out great and she didn't want anyone to ruin that. Sending a smile Rystain's way, she didn't think he would ruin Seth, Rystain was admirable in his own way. He at least kept his affairs private, and he didn't go chasing girls but rather sat back and let the girls chase him.
