"The obvious, and not quite so obvious. It's easily apparent that while most every guy in Slytherin wants her she's playing her innocent princess routine up to the hilt...what isn't so obvious is that one of you are actually succeeding where others have failed. What's it like to come close to the unattainable?"

He decided to play stupid, for the time being.
"I'm really not sure what you mean, Charlotte." It was safer seeing what she knew, rather than giving her new information to play with.

She gave him a look, she was losing patience, why was he playing dumb? "You were seen kissing her in the library. I think you've gotten closer than most...well at least that I know of."she shrugged casually done playing games for the moment.

Ryan frowned. "Yes, I suppose I have," he murmured quietly. "And how is this of any consequence?"
(Sorry so short!)

"It's just surprising that's all. I've known Sam for a very long time, she isn't one to let her guard down...let others in. I was wondering how you managed to break through to the princess." she smiled softly, " Call it curiosity but I've seen hundreds try and fail, what is it that you have...that they didn't?" she asked but she was more or less talking to herself as she sized him up.

"Tact?" Was the first thing out of his mouth. "And I didn't try and get in her pants the first second I saw her."
His goal wasn't to bang her, and she probably sensed that. Sam was a smart girl, and it didn't seem like many people gave her the benefit of the doubt.

She scoffed a bit lightly, " Tact...? That's your answer." then she sighed she thought he had something else to offer, the point was she knew exactly what kind of temptations hit Sam and when, and this...boy, pureblood yes, wealthy yes, but other than that an all around nobody, managed to steal inside the little witch's heart. How Damn it?!
Then she realized however, " Well I suppose that's a dandy way of it...not trying to get into her pants...what are you trying to get from her?"

Ryan shrugged. "Nothing. Maybe that's why she lets me in... I have no motives where she's concerned, and that means a lot more trust from her than for the guys that want to do her and the girls that hate her because of it."

Charlotte laughed, and this time it was sincere perhaps even a bit sinister, " Oh my poor boy..." she shook her head, " It won't last...she's curious about you that's all. Sam isn't the angel she pretends to be and the fact that you're not glued to her side like some yappy puppy who wants to worship the ground she walks on has her intrigued. She'll get bored soon enough, through ...no fault of your own mind you. I'd imagine you could keep a girl entertained for quite a while, but not Sam." she sighed a bit ruefully, " No Sir.." she gave him a once over, a cautious glance.
" Be careful Ryan...she's swallowed guys like you up for breakfast without a second thought...I've seen her do it...whoever could offer her more. It's amazing to watch her work...she goes from arm to arm making connections quicker than you have a chance to breathe...look what she's accomplished here all ready...give her enough time...she'll rule this school like she did Beauxbatons. With an iron fist and if you cross her..." Charlotte paused to look at Dorian there was a bit of fear in her eyes, " Or get in her way...she'll destroy you."

"I'm not worried if she gets bored of me," Dorian said, almost rolling his own eyes. "I'll try not to let it hurt my feelings, since you're so worried.
He caught something in her eyes that made him wonder what she really knew about Sam, about what she was saying to him.

Charlotte smiled but it was a bit brittle, she had tapped into long ago buried emotions that were rising a bit too close to the surface and she needed to keep her head although now she felt weary. She wasn't a monster...not really, in fact before Sam came to Hogwarts she was almost likable in a slytherin fashion, but Sam terrified her and she had a good reason to be afraid.
She listened to Dorian's flippancy towards the matter and sighed a bit, he didn't know what he was getting into, none of them knew what they were getting into, and they were the logical ones of course. Who would be afraid of a fifteen year old girl? Charlotte was, and anyone who had been at Beauxbatons on the wrong side of Sam's wrath would know better.
Charlotte didn't buy this "changed" routine, she knew how good an actress Sam really was and she knew that underneath all those smiles and all that charm there was no heart no average soul only darkness.
Shaking out of her reverie she nodded at him, " Of course you won't." then she quirked a side smile, "Maybe I am a little worried." she shrugged, " But you're a big boy, you can handle yourself is that it?"

"I still feel like you're trying to get at something." Finally, he came and sat near her on his bed.
"I'm a guy, Charlotte. I'm dense, and I'll never get it on my own."

Sighing she shrugged, "You should be careful around Samantha Ryan...I mean that." she shook her head, she knew some people viewed her as "a little intense" but Sam had really been the cause of that tension. The girl had so thouroughly destroyed Charlotte's reputation in the past causing her to nearly be disowned by her family, if her mother hadn't plead in her defense who knew where Charlotte would be now?

"Why are you warning me, exactly?" Ryan asked.
Not much of this made sense to him, but he was reeling, trying to follow her. Why was Sam so dangerous?
"What part do you have in all of this?"

"I just...want you to be careful that's all." she said a small smile on her face, " Sam's a real piece of work and most people wouldn't see it, she's a brilliant actress...." she laughed a bit at his second question, " What part? I guess a pretty useless one, I saw her take over Beauxbatons...would that I could warn hogwarts the wicked witch of the west were coming I would try, but no one would believe me."

That intrigued him greatly, and he leaned forward a little, a certain selfish interest in the conversation.
He could see why no one would believe her... everyone loved Sam.
"What makes you think *I'd* believe you then?"

"I was actually quite certain you wouldn't believe me actually, " she laughed a little, " I wasn't sure how far Sam had gotten her claws in you..." she raised a brow and seemed to inspect him, "You seem to be fairing well, unscathed at least, for now. But..." she sighed, " I was half way expecting to be thrown out to be honest."

"I'm better than that," Ryan said, still unsure what to make of her. The whol situation was a little odd.
"I'm at least willing to give you a chance. I'm still curious though... I'm sorry. Just, not a lot of this makes sense, you realize."

Charlotte wore her best hopeless expression, and where Samantha was concerned she didn't have to fake it. "You just seemed to be getting close to her was all." she shook her head, " Which is strange. I mean, I've seen guys fall all over themselves to be with her and she doesn't give them the time of day, yet still manages to crush them. You're the only one I've ever seen breaking through that perfectly calm routine. I have to admit just a small bit of anger towards her. " she gave him a look, "Fine." she admitted, " A lot of anger towards her. I think I entertained ideas of revenge, but then you'd be caught in the frey and...it'd be unreasonably cruel to involve someone who hasn't done anything."

Well, that was even more intriguing.
"Oh, so now you're warning makes more sense." He wondered why she harbored thoughts of revenge, but didn't ask.
"You're not warning me against Sam at all... you're warning me against yourself."
