Conflicted (Open)

[Noah Malfoy]

(I forgot when I last used Noah... And he needs new friends.)

Noah had been torn ever since his cousin Roland had died. The entire Ferrera side of the family had suddenly been shut off from school. He hadn't seen Jamie since right before the Yule Ball, when he had been walking with his new girlfriend. And Amandine seemed a lot paler then when he had remembered.

He had been afraid to talk to his mother or his father. The idea that his father might have had something to do with the travesty hadn't crossed his mind, but the idea that his father might have kept the information from his mother had. If Noah had tried to write to Emelia, would she just find find out? Or would she not care, thanks to Blake's careful manipulation of her mind? Whose side was he on?

Noah decided to let his useless brother think his own thoughts, rather then discuss any ideas with him. Noah was certain something had gone wrong wtih the littlest Malfoy's mind, anyhow. He never seemed to have any loyalty for his father, like Noah had. Blake was very important to Noah, in a paternal way. Who had been Noah's rolemodel? Blake, of course. With his cold ways, and the idea that woemn seemed to love him. Of course Noah respected him and wanted to please him.

Noah made his way into shallow parts of the Forbidden Forest. He wanted to be distracted, find something to take his mind off everything.

[Severus Snape]

Severus had slipped out of the castle, It wasn't so terribly hard as it was terribly risky. He scoffed as he stepped onto a path into the forest. If it was so forbidden, why were there so many paths? He decided not to think on it to deeply, the forest had plenty of creatures and plants that were useful.
Even it was late in the afternoon, there was a chill in the air, Severus wrapped his cloak around him a bit tighter. He heard something ahead of him, and he froze, trying to hear where the sound was coming from or to guess what it was. There were tittering birds, the sound of maybe something falling to the ground, like a dead branch. He shook his head and walked further ahead. He was hearing footsteps. He thought about calling out to whomever it was, but scrapped that line of thinking, they could very well be a professor or something else.
He crept around a tree and spotted the blond hair of the 'other' Malfoy. He released a breath he had been holding and called out . "Hello Malfoy." he stuck his hand in his robe pocket, in case he did need his wand. He never knew if someone was going to hex first and ask questions later.
