Luca sat in the Slytherin common room, watching as the others walked by and gave him a few dirty looks from his fraternizing with Granger and Weasley. He continued his studies, cursing his Arithmancy books.

"This is impossible. How am I supposed to learn this when we use..," He stopped himself and peered up, a few of the more curious stopped to listen, the secrets of the Gypsies had an enticement to many. He drew himself out of the chair and shot a feirce glare at many who backed up, one tripping over a first year, who cried out "Evil Eye!"

Luca stormed up to his bed and began to write to his family, how he should be at Durmstrang, to be closer to them, and away from all this You-Know-Who business that ran deep in the hearts of all. He took off his robe, putting on his dark vest, schluffing off his tie, and stretched out on his bed. He pulled his chains and charms from under his shirt, letting the gold and silver shimmer in the midday sun.

Luca folded his letter, and opened up a drawer, sealing it shut with a wax stamp, and rubbing a clove of garlic along the edges as well. Some called him a superstitious fool, but his letters never seemed to get delayed in the post, even arriving early for the most part.

Moonstone walked out, wand in his belt, strolling onto the grounds, as if asking for trouble... he seemed to have a knack at baiting the teachers to anger with his manner of dress, outright refusing at times to keep to the dress code, storming past staff and student to the Owlery.

Promise was walking back from her ride (she has a winged horse there) when she spotted Luca walking to the Owlery. Of course she had been lost in her own little world, fondly referred to as 'Promise Land' by herself, and didn't actually notice him until he was two feet away.

She gasped, startled, and lost her composure and footing for a moment. She found herself nearly crashing to the ground, throwing Charm (her winged cat) off of her shoulder. Luckily Charm was blessed with those pretty black wings of hers, and she spread them, catching herself just as Promise managed to regain her balance. She came diving back at Promise, scolding in angry peeps and mewls.
Promise took a breath and smoothed her frazzled nerves, once again looking composed. She smiled a little sheepishly at Luca, "That'll teach me to journey to la-la land while I'm walking somewhere."

Charm was still scolding and Promise glared at her, "Watch your MOUTH, Charm," She scolded as she held out her arm for the little winged cat to land on. Charm proceeded to do so then crawled up it and settled on Promise's shoulder again, looking cranky.

Luca prepared for it, doing a bit of a dancers spin, around her, catching and dipping her, giving Promise a smile.

"Hello, pretty one, it seems I am having a magnetic personality, no?"

Luca caught a few of the books behind him with a free hand, while still smiling forward, this was much like the plate catching trick his mother and him had performed two years ago while he was on summer holiday.

"Up we go." He smiles and pulled her out of the dip, his other arm moving to place her books in her arms.

"I must be gone, but we shall meet again." He grinned, his accent thick and rich as he laughed, a fancy, theatrical bow for Promise as he turned and began to head off once more, a smile on his face.

Luca stopped and blinked, turning a bit to look at Promise, something about her eyes...

He shrugged and began to run to class...

Promise smiled and shook her head slightly as the boy ran off. She directed her smirk toward Charm, "Too bad he's jail bait, eh?"

Charm snorted in amusement, and Promise winked then continued on toward the castle. She was going to be late for Arithmancy if she got distracted any more.
