The Heir of Slytherin

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Well... thought Arsenio. This is awkward.

He checked again the Contents Page of "Rare Spells and Enchantments", and found again that the label for the final few pages had been scorched off the book.

He sighed, and took a quick glance in the direction of Riddle.

Whoever Dumbledore wanted him to see at 10:34 this evening, he was betting that it would be him.

But perhaps not...

Arsenio found himself undeniably aligned with Dumbledore, for reasons he could not explain.

It was just a gut feeling.

Artus went back to his table and woke his friends up. It was rather late and he was on prefect round tonight. Packing his stuff, he pondered who would be his partner tonight as he had forgotten to check the roster earlier today.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Arsenio sighed as the clock ticked away slowly. As the afternoon wore on and slowly turned to sunset, he left the library to get ready for dinner.

[Q.Araignee]

Reluctantly, Tom finished his sentence- putting his parchment and quill back in his bag. After a moment, he decided to check out the book and finish everything later.

As he left the Library, Tom remembered the Prefect roster- he'd checked it and knew he was on duty, but didn't know who he would be doing rounds with tonight. Seeing as it was half past eight, he decided to go put his work in his Dormitory and check the roster while he was passing through the Common Room.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Arsenio ate his dinner slowly and carefully, moving his cutlery around in a sort of rhythmic motion.

10:34...

So precise.

[Scarlet Lioness]

Mervanai was submerged in an interesting book and didn't seem to notice Arsenio, Artus and Riddle leave the Library and continued to read the book.

The Librarian tapped him on the shoulder. "Time to leave Mr Hogglestone"

He put the book back,packed up his things and left.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Dinner appeared to end suddenly halfway through his course. He jumped when everyone stood up.

He realised that he hadn't taken a bite of his food for at least five minutes. He stayed seated.

Bidding farewell to his buddies, Artus went for his round. On his way, he saw a glimpse of Dumbledore at a corner. It reminded him about his 'spider' homework. He groaned inwardly.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Arsenio finally hurried through the remains of his dinner. He then went downstairs to the Slytherin common room, and realised during the journey that he was hurryiny, and sweating.

For some reason his body wasn't liking the darkness of the dungeons... he'd never had a problem with them before, though.

His body was trying to tell him something.

[Scarlet Lioness]

Mervanai headed to the Common Room after leaving the library.

He was alone.

Joke and Kay were still in the hospital wing, he still didn't know why...

It was lonely being in Hufflepuff Common Room with no friends to talk to.

It would be different if I was in Slytherin...he thought sadly.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

When a drenched Arsenio arrived in the common room, a few people looked around.

He headed further down, into his dormitory.

He was panting, scared. He didn't really know why, or have any control over it.

What was his body trying to tell him?

[choki]

Straight after lunch, Artus headed towards the Prefects' Bathroom. After a day of hard work, he needed some relaxation at the bath. Soaking into the hot bath, Artus closed his eyes and covered his face with a wet cloth. Not a while later, someone came into the bathroom but Artus was too tired to bother about the newcomer.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

Not long after 8:30 Arsenio started feeling sick. It came on suddenly...

By 9:30 he had vomited all he could... and his body stopped that particular symptom.

But then started the crazy visions, and his head felt very light and weak. He couldn't think straight.

By 10:10, he had had enough.

He started walking down to the Hospital Wing.

[Scarlet Lioness]

Mervanai decided to go and visit JOke and Kay- well convince the Matron to let him see his friends.

He left his dormitory and then the Common Room.

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

On his way to the Hospital Wing, the vomiting started back up again. He had nothing left... it came out in blood, and he swayed on his feet before eventually collapsing.
