Promise paced, her face a mask of cold, stony anger. Charm was sitting on her shoulder with her claws dug into the skin in rage and Promise was too preoccupied to notice the pain induced by Charm's claws. She could KILL Luca. Not only had he treated the whole situation badly but he'd ruined the reputation of her two closest friends at Hogwarts. Not only that but she was powerless to help either of them. She hated being helpless.

In anger she burst into the nearest room, which happened to be Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, Yelled "GOD DAMNIT!" then stormed back out leaving poor Myrtle to pout and wonder.

Promise continued to stalk all the way to the Piano room on the first floor and started to pound out a very loud and intense sounding Fur Elise. She pounded the song out, and it soothed her. It was amazing how it could be such a relaxing song but could be played in such a frustration-relieving way. She didn't care if all of the lower three floors of the castle could probably hear her, for she was playing with a lot of intensity. It felt good though, she felt her anger fading with every key.

After doing that she felt much better and stood to go outside. Eclipse would love to get a run in, and it would let the rest of her rage drain away to ride her. The fresh air would feel good.

Cho was on her way back to her room after the office incident to think things over when she ran into Promise. "Promise! Hey!" she said very relieved to see her.

Promise immediately looked relieved. "Well you're not in hysterics so I'm guessing that you're not fired. Thank goodness." She smiled at Cho, "I was pretty upset. I may yet kill Luca...don't tell on me if he mysteriously disappears ok?" She winked at Cho.

Cho was happy she had someone to talk to. She sighed and said, "The only reason she didn’t fire me was because she couldn’t bring in anyone else for the job. Isn’t that crap? I mean, Blaise explained to her the truth, and she STILL thought to fire me." Cho frowned "I bet you, right now, Luca isn’t even being punished for his article. We have to do something about him…and quick. He’s bad news, Promise…I’m not even kidding."

Promise bit her lip. She didn't want to dislike McGonagall. Her mother had told her Headmistress McGonagall was someone to be respected, but she was finding it hard. She took a deep, calming breath and moved on from that, it was best to ignore it for now.

"You're right about Luca. I'm very upset with him. I wanted to like the kid very much but now I just want to tear off his face with my bare hands. I don't care what his excuses are. He knew he was going to cause damage to not only both of your reputations but YOUR career."

Promise's eyes were flashing angrily. She'd had just about enough of Luca's meddling.
