Music used in the thread:
The Kite - From 'Finding Neverland' Soundtrack - Composed by Jan A. P. Kaczmarek
Kiss the Rain - Composed by Yiruma

The week had certainly been interesting and it took everything Riona was to keep her head above water. It was a delicate situation to make sure she stayed in good face to her friends, both in Slytherin and out. While she truly did wish the Evans girl a swift recovery, she couldn't quite bring herself to admit it to her housemates. It seemed all of them, save for Rabastan, wanted to see that poor girl strung up and silenced permanently. Since when was it a crime to voice one's beliefs? She didn't like the sound of that and before, she had tried to stay away from politics as much as possible. With recent events, that seemed to be a rather tall order. It was a delicate game that needed to played just right. One step out of place and she might find herself in the same situation as Miss Evans.

But today was going to be much better. She was going to meet up with Amycus and just relax, have a good time. He wanted to hear her play and she was more than happy to oblige. There was nothing in the world that made her feel as good as when she was sitting in front of a piano. She had come up with a couple bits of different songs she was working on and wanted to get someone's opinion of them.

She had skipped out on dinner that night, wanting to finish up her homework so she would be free the rest of the evening. But she waited outside the Great Hall, waiting for Amycus to come out. When she saw him, she made her way towards him, a smile on her face.

"Hey," she said. "Still on for tonight?"

Amycus didn't fell like he'd gotten a chance to just sit and relax at all this week and he was looking forward to spending time with Riona outside of the dungeons and away from Lucius. He didn't care what they did or where they ended up which was odd for him. He didn't normally like to leave things open ended the way he had with Riona on her journal when they'd been making their plans.

He looked up at the sound of her voice as he came out of the Great Hall, returning her smile with one of his own rare smiles that reached his eyes. "Hi. I was beginning to worry you'd changed your mind when I didn't see you at dinner," he told her.

"Nah, just wanted to get some homework out of the way. Figured we could stop by the kitchens afterwards and I can grab something. I didn't really feel like being social today either." No, she had too much on her mind to bother with the ridiculous chatter at the table. "Ready to head downstairs? I have a couple new songs I've been working on and wanted to get your opinion!" She was always happy to share her music with other people, but she rarely did so. It was usually just her and the piano late at night with only the cold night air to listen. It would be fun to play for Amycus.

"How was your day?" she asked, piping up some casual conversation as they made their way to the music hall.

"Of course we can," Amycus told her with a smile. "I can understand that feeling," he told her. He'd never been very talkative to most people but he'd been especially quiet the last few days. He'd said a lot over the journals to people but face to face had been a different story. "Lead the way," he told her with a small wave of his hand. Normally he'd have wanted to go back to the dungeon to grab a book to read while she practiced but he'd been serious about not wanting to do anything involving books that night.

"Far too long," he told her as they walked. He'd spent his day worried about what Rabastan needed to talk to him about and trying to avoid Lucius. He still hadn't figured out how to tell Alecto the truth about how long he'd been a Death Eater and a part of him couldn't help but worry that Lucius would tell her for some reason. "How was yours?" he asked, matching his pace to hers.

"At least the day is over with," she said with a smile, shouldering past people as they left for dinner. Dinner was always the best meal because it meant free time after. You didn't have to worry about going to any other classes, the rest of the day was yours. Sure most of it consisted of homework or studying, but it was still up to you. Riona was happy to be spending it in the music room. It had actually been awhile since she had practiced and she knew she needed to keep up with it.

"Mine was alright," she said with a small shrug. "Nothing out of the ordinary or interesting. Although it seems that that's probably for the best now. Hearing all these rumors about attacks and fighting..." She shook her head. Not that those things would actually happen to her. A good pureblood girl like herself? No. Still, she couldn't help but still feel a bit on edge.

They rounded a corner, getting closer to the music hall. It was a wing off to the side, not quite underground so the moisture wouldn't hurt the instruments. Still, she liked the seclusion and felt she could play as loudly or as quietly as she wanted.

"Any homework you have to get to tonight?" She didn't want to keep him too late if he needed to get back to finish anything up. For her, she could get lost in the music for hours, not paying attention to the time. Another reason why she made sure to finish everything up before finding Amycus.

"Very true," Amycus said, stopping for a minute to glare at someone who'd bumped into him. He hurried to catch up with Riona, occasionally having to step to the side to avoid running into someone. He always hated the rush of people around the Great Hall after meals but dinner was the worst.

He stiffened a bit at her mentioning the rumors that were circulating the school. "Good to hear," he said trying to force himself to sound normal. "Those rumors seem to be scaring everyone," he told her. "I think that too much of a big deal is being made of it. She's back now and there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage," he added, trying to find a balance between the sympathy he knew it was smart to show and the disdain he felt towards the girl in question. Personally, he thought that she'd gotten exactly what she deserved but he knew that wasn't the popular opinion.

There were less people around the closer they got to the music hall and Amycus found himself relaxing a bit. He had avoided this part of the school until last year when he'd started coming here with Riona after Michael had died. Michael had asked him to keep an eye on Riona at school after he'd finished and Amycus had almost forgotten about it until he'd heard that Michael had died. He'd talked to Riona a few times before that when they were in the common room and offered to help her with her homework but hadn't really concerned himself overly much with the girl before then.

"Nothing that can't wait until tomorrow," he told her with a smile. Rabastan wanted to talk to him but he'd said there wasn't any rush about it. Plus there was always a chance that his roommate would still be awake when he got back to their room.

In truth, Riona was surprised to hear Amycus speak of the attacks in such a way. Other purebloods were so sure that they were safe from them, and rightfully so, but he gave an air as if he cared himself. She glanced over at him, wondering if that was actually the case. Or just ideal chit chat?

The two had not become fast friends. He was a year older than Riona and he had already distinguished himself as a top wizard. She was sure he would go on to be a prominent member of the wizarding society, helping to ensure pureblood lineage and their rights over those lesser than themselves. Over the years they had grown closer and she had even invited him to listen to her play. Perhaps that marked the moment their friendship became a little deeper. Since then, it wasn't unusual for the two to hang out around the common room or spend a moment or two out in the courtyard. She came to enjoy his company, but wondered how much she actually knew him. She would be curious to see if Rabastan may find anything about Amycus and this group of dark wizards.

"That's good to hear," she said, smiling and leading him to her favorite practice room. It was the third door in and the piano stood in the center of the room. There was little else there, but she conjured a chair for him to sit in. "Please make sure to tell me if I go on too long," she said, sliding onto the bench in front of the keys. "It's easy to lose myself." She grinned and sat on her hands, wondering what to play for him first.

"Do you have any preferences for song?" she asked. "Any kind of feeling or moment going through you now?" She didn't want to be selfish and take up something that she was feeling now. She wanted to include him on it and it seemed natural to try and share that connection with him.

Amycus was glad that Riona hadn't continued on with the discussion of the attack and the rumors circulating around it. It was hard enough for him to hide his true feelings about what had occurred over the journals. He wasn't sure he was up to the task of concealing them in a face-to-face conversation. Riona had told him that she'd been trying to save face in her comments about the mudblood on her journal but he wasn't quite convinced of that. She was still close with that blood traitor Sirius.

He smiled back at her as they walked into the room, laughing softly as she beat him to conjuring a chair. He'd come to know the layout of this room fairly well since he'd started coming to listen to her play, an honor that he didn't think she'd extended to anybody else in their house. "I'm not keeping you from someone you'd rather spend your free time with am I?" he asked, settling himself down comfortably in the chair. "I doubt I'd notice if you did. I like hearing you play," he told her, relaxing a bit more now that they were in the room and he wasn't having to deal with anyone else.

"Something to help me finish relaxing?" he asked after a moment's thought. "And then I want to hear the new song you've been practicing. And after thought whatever you like," he told her giving her another of his rare, real smiles.

It always made Riona happy when she was able to pull a genuine smile from Amycus. He always seemed so broody and upset that she hoped he could relax when they were hanging out. "Something relaxing," she mused, thinking as she set her fingers on the keys. A natural melody came flowing through her fingertips as she played the melody, closing her eyes as she played it. It was simple enough, but she felt herself loosen as well. It was easy to get caught up in the music and she let the last note drift off.

"How do you feel now?" she asked, grinning. She knew she felt rather relaxed now, kind of loose and limber.

Amycus felt the smile lingering on his face as he listened to Riona playing, softening somehow as he relaxed and was able to forget about everything that had happened for just a few minutes. He didn't forget his concern about what Rabastan wanted to talk to him about exactly but it did stop being at the front of his mind.

He watched her while she played, loving the dreamy look that seemed to cross her face as she lost herself in the music. "Relaxed," he told her returning her grin for an instant. "That was beautiful, Ri," he said. He didn't pay compliments lightly, or at least not to her.

"I'm glad you like it," she said, the smile still on her face. "It's one of my favorites. Very simple, but there's just something there that gives a sense of purity and innocence." It was strange for her to play that now, because they were certainly in an age where that seemed to be faded.

"Would you care to hear my new piece?" she asked, her fingers almost itching to play it for him. "I still haven't finished it, but you can hear what I have so far. Perhaps you could give me some advice on where you think it should go from there." She knew Amycus didn't have any professional teachings in music, but she would welcome anyone's criticism of her work. She believed anyone could create music and had an ear for it.

"I can see why you'd like it. I think it might actually be my favorite. Out of everything I've heard you play," he said softly.

He smiled at her question, hoping he wasn't imagining the eagerness he thought he heard in her voice. "I told you I wanted to hear it," he said teasing her gently. His teasing of Riona was radically different than the way he teased Cissy, which made sense because his friendships with the two girls were different. "I don't know how much I'd be but I can try."

She smiled back, taking that as a compliment. She had played quite a few songs for him these past few months, so he had many songs to choose a favorite from.

She shot him a teasing glance, setting herself up for the song she was about to play. She had been working on it since her brother's death, a kind of memorial in his honor.

She took a moment before she began to play. The melody was slow and melodic, but she put everything she had into it.

Amycus found himself leaning forward as Riona played the song she'd been working on, caught up in the beauty of the melody. It wasn't as lighthearted as some of the songs she'd played for him or relaxing like what she'd played for him earlier that night but it still touched something in him.

He didn't say anything for a few minutes after she finished playing, just sitting there quietly looking down at the floor. He looked up at her finally, "That was beautiful Ri. I don't think I could suggest anything. Even if I did know anything about music."

When she was done, she let the last note linger before dropping her hands from the keys and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. Perhaps she should even stop it there? Did it really need to go on?

She got up from the bench and conjured another chair, setting it close to Amycus'. It wasn't very lady like, but she flopped down in it, her legs going over the arm rest. "I'm glad you liked it," she said, grinning. She pulled a strand of hair and twisted it, before placing it under her nose and grinning.

"I've been working on it for awhile. Do you think Michael would have liked it?"

Amycus turned in his chair so that he was facing Riona, grinning back at her and laughing as she gave herself a mustache with a strand of her hair. "Not a good look for you," he told her honestly. He was comfortable being with Riona and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty that her brother's death was what made him realize it.

"Michael would have loved it," he told her, fairly confident that he was right in saying so. He'd had a passing friendship with her brother and had heard the affection and pride in his voice whenever the topic of his younger sister came up.

"You don't think so?" she asked, giving him a little pout. "I always thought I could pull off any look. I suppose I should just keep shaving my upper lip then. I guess pureblooded men like their women smooth." She giggled, leaning her head against the back of the chair. She couldn't really say when she started to grow more and more comfortable with Amycus. He certainly wasn't the most easy person to get to know, but there was something about him that still put her at ease. Perhaps it was his ability to keep things to himself and only allow himself to be polite or joking when he was with her. Whatever the reason was, she appreciated it.

"I'm glad," she said, turning her head to look at the piano. "I wish I could just serve his memory a little better." Well, hopefully that would be soon enough. If she could only get more information on the Death Eaters and find out how to be apart of this elusive group. That would truly live a life in memory of him.

Amycus smiled and shook his head at Riona's pout. "Almost any. But then I've never cared for mustaches on anyone so I might be the wrong person to ask," he told her with a wink. "I've always thought they must tickle horribly when you're eating. Or kissing someone," he said, looking over at the piano. "I think for the most part we just like our women. Speaking as a pureblooded man of course" he told her with a grin. He was much more comfortable talking with her about things like this then the growing unrest in the school. It was easier for him to keep his opinions to himself that way and avoid quarreling with her.

"What do you mean?" he asked, looking at her curiously.

She laughed, but nodded her head. "I will have to agree with that," she said. "I don't really care for beards or mustaches. They don't really tickle, they're scratchy. And that isn't romantic as you're trying to snog someone." She made a face. "No, I like smooth too. A very good call Amycus, as a pureblooded girl to a pureblooded man." She grinned, tilting her head back to look at the ceiling.

She didn't say anything at first, wondering if she should confide in Amycus. Rabastan was going to speak to him about the Death Eaters and even on the off chance that Amycus knew nothing, she didn't want many people knowing.

"I'd like to do something more active," she said, looking over at him. "Not just sit in this music room and write songs for him. I want to do something with my life that he would be proud of."

"I'll take your word on them being scratchy," Amycus told her, laughing along with her. "I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever start thinking about growing a beard," he added, shifting in his chair so that his back was resting against the arm and he could watch her more comfortably.

"Michael would be proud of you. No matter what you do," he told her, returning her gaze steadily.

"Some girls might like it," she said, giving a small shrug. "It really depends. Just make sure to ask whenever you get a nice girlfriend. Anyone on your radar?" She wiggled her eyebrows at him, grinning. It seemed like everyone was a couple nowadays, as was appropriate for pureblood teenagers. She either found they would find a good match here at school or have their fun before their parents arranged a marriage for them. She could only hope her parents would find her a suitable match. Still, knowing them, they would choose someone with a high blood purity and it would be someone who was twice her age. She shuddered to think of marrying someone like that.

She smiled, appreciative of Amycus' words. "I hope so," she said, catching his eye for a moment before looking away. "Ever since his death I want to make sure I live a life he would be happy of. Unfortunately I believe my parents have a different idea of that."

Amycus shrugged in response to Riona's question. "No one special," he told her, not feeling the need to tell her that he wasn't really looking. "What about you? What lucky young pureblood has caught your eye?" he asked with an arched eyebrow. His parents had been going on about finding a wife for the past two years before they found him one. So far he'd been able to avoid his parents matchmaking but he knew it was only a matter of time until he'd have to marry some pureblood witch who'd provide him with an heir.

"Does it help any that I'm proud of you?" he asked, knowing that it wouldn't mean the same thing to her. "I think Michael would be happy if you were. What do your parents want for you?" he added curiously. They'd never talked about her parents before tonight.

"I'm not really looking at the moment," she said, saying what he had left unsaid. "I mean, it would be nice to have someone in my life like that, but what if I don't end up with them? I mean, truly it's my parents who will have a say in the matter of who I will marry. What if I fall for someone here at school, only to be denied their love later? It seems a waste of emotions and time." It was a wall she had begun to build against any kind of relationship. While she was as much a girl as the female population at the school, she kept trying to convince herself that being in a relationship wasn't really that important. Plus, it would save on heartache later.

She smiled at his compliment and nodded her head. "Of course it does," she said, giving the arm of his chair a little kick. "You've always been there for me and helped me through a lot after Michael's death. It means a lot to still have you by my side." She smiled before losing herself in thought about her parents.

"I suppose they want what any pureblooded family does. A good marriage of strong blood purity. I..." She hesitated, glancing at Amycus, but decided to go on. "I suppose I'm just afraid they'll marry me to someone who's twice my age and doesn't really care. I know it's my duty to my family to oblige, but I wouldn't want to live that kind of life."

"That's always a concern," Amycus said, understanding her concern about falling for someone here at school. "So you're willing to deny yourself happiness now, because it might not work out the way you want it too later?" he asked, mildly amused by it. "Not to mention all the men you're disappointing," he added, putting his hand over his heart with an exaggerated sigh before continuing, "And I'm including myself in that." Riona would meet his parents requirements for a prospective bride for him and unlike most of the women they introduced him too he could actually talk with her and enjoyed her company.

Her kick brought his attention back to their conversation and he smiled back at her. "You needed me after his death. I'm just glad I was able to be there for you. I'm always going to be there for you Ri. No matter what," he told her, seriously.

"That's what my parents want. I'm expected to find a young pureblood witch, from a good family, who'll give birth to the next generation of Carrow's. And direct quote from Grandfather 'If you can bring yourself to feel at least a little fond of her things will be much easier'" he said, his voice growing sarcastic as he told her what his grandfather had told him.

His attention turned back to her when she started telling him what she was afraid of and he nodded his head. "Or perhaps worse that you can't bring yourself to care for or even respect?" he asked. "Have you tried talking to your parents?"

She gave him a small smile, kicking his chair again as he joked around with it. It was easy to joke around with it, but sometimes she wondered. She knew she was pretty, she had always used her looks to get things she wanted and to her advantage. But she had always been in control of that situation. If she chanced to go into a serious relationship, she knew she would get lost. And then what? She had always prided herself on her strength and felt like she would lose it all just for a boy.

She did need Amycus. While she talked with many people within Hogwarts, she never really had a close friend. Well, there was Sirius, but she had felt their friendship fading a little bit at a time. She knew they would only grow apart with the future, but she wanted to cling to as much time she could get with him now. She was surprised her parents hadn't forbidden her from speaking to him. Well, it wasn't like she was boasting about it. Better to keep it on the down low.

"Isn't it just wonderful?" she asked, a note of sarcasm in her voice. "How we're expected to live our lives against our will?" She shook her head. She hated it. She wanted to do what she wanted with her life and marry someone she wanted to marry. But that seemed a very slim chance.

She laughed out loud at Amycus' suggestion. "Speak to my parents? I don't know if I've told you this, but I was not the favorite child. Unfortunately he died. I'm just that tag along that wasn't really wanted or needed. So they could give two knuts for what I would want." The bitterness in her voice was obvious and she almost tucked herself into the chair, her arms crossing over her chest.

Amycus grinned at her when she kicked his chair again. It would be so easy for him to suggest that they date since neither of them were particularly interested in dating someone specific. That way she wouldn't have to miss out on the fun parts of being involved in a relationship and there was almost no danger of it getting it very serious. He'd be finishing in just a few months and chances to see each other after that would be few and far between. "What you need to do, is find someone that you enjoy spending time with but there's no danger of it getting overly serious," he said, coming as close to what he was thinking as he felt comfortable.

"The joys of parental expectations," he said, bitterly looking away from her. "There are times I'm not certain I even want to get married but I've learned not to tell them that," he said, the one time he'd told his family that his father had used the Cruciatus curse on him and left him crying in the middle of the main hall of their house.

He heard the bitterness in her voice and stood up from his chair, moving to slide into Riona's with her. He put his arms around to give her a hug, well aware of the fact that he rarely hugged anyone besides Alecto and Rab. "Sorry. I wasn't thinking," he said, speaking into her hair. It wasn't exactly comfortable sitting in the chair with her like this but he couldn't bear hearing her talk like this and not trying to help.

She thought about what he had said and figured it was the right solution. "I suppose you're right," she said out loud. "But what if it does get serious? Or just serious for him and not for me? Or vice versa? There are just so many variants to take into consideration I think I would rather not jump in at all. Plus, I just couldn't think to try and pretend to be in a relationship with someone. I would want to truly care about them, to want to be with them. Although I suppose this relationship you propose would help set me up for my future marriage. If I'm not lucky." She was oblivious to the suggestion Amycus was trying to make between the two of them, but was perhaps for the best. She cared about Amycus a lot, but had always seen him as a brotherly replacement to Michael. Still, if the thought had been out loud, she might have taken some time to consider it. He was handsome enough and she did enjoy spending time with him. It was a smart match.

She wasn't surprised to hear the same tone in Amycus' voice and just shook her head. It seemed no matter the gender, there was pressure placed on you to do your part to honor your family. She wished it could be simpler, but there was no way around it. She envied the few people who didn't care about things like that.

She was surprised when he moved to sit in the same chair as her, but welcomed it at the same time. This was the kind of closeness she wanted from a relationship. She sighed, moving her legs to drape across his lap and leaned her head against his shoulder. It actually made her feel better.

"It's alright," she said, closing her eyes. "If it's alright, stay here a little longer? This feels...nice."

"Of course I'm right," Amycus told her with a teasing grin. "I don't know what to tell you about that. Perhaps tell them right up front that you're not looking for a serious relationship at the moment. Or we could make it very simple and you could just date me. Since I know what the rules would be already," he told her, hoping that the offer came out sounding casual. "No danger of it becoming overly serious since I'm leaving school in a few months and we wouldn't have to change much in out interactions," he added as if the thought had just occurred to him.

He shifted in the chair to hold her more comfortably, wrapping his arms around her and leaning down to rest his cheek on top of her head. "I'll stay as long as you want," he said softly, not realizing all the ways that statement could be interpreted in light of his recent offer.

Riona was surprised by his offer to say the least. She looked up at him, trying to gauge if he was just poking fun now. While he had that teasing smile on his face, there was something else, something underneath it all, that made her hesitate. She thought about it a moment. She and Amycus. He was certainly there for her and having him hold her in his arms was comforting. It wouldn't be anything serious, just something for the both of them as a sort of comfort. And he had another good point of when he left.

"Maybe," she said, snuggling closer to him. "Can I think about it? Although this is nice..." She closed her eyes again, giving a deep sigh.

Amycus relaxed into the corner of the chair they were sitting in as she snuggled closer to him. "Of course you can," he told her quietly. "It is nice," he added, giving her a gentle squeeze. "Even if you decide no, we can still do this."
