That slimy, sneaky, evil little son of a snake was going down. Ali was madder than she'd been in a long time. She had levels of angry, and this trumped all of them. Set off fireworks? Whatever. Get them in trouble? Like that hadn't happened before. But ruining a party? Unacceptable! This is exactly why no snakes were allowed! They ruined absolutely everything! Which is why they were exacting the revenge that was due.

Letting Al play the 'nice, we just wanna talk' part of their duo, Ali slammed one hang against the window cutting off any chance at escape, wand practically sparking with barely restrained anger though her glare turned into a very dangerous grin which was just as frightening.

"Mind telling us what the hell you thought you were doing last night, snake?" She fluttered her eyelashes like it was an innocent question, but her tone obviously said something completely different.

After the (rather spectacular) events of the night before, Zhi had decided to take it easy by retreating to the library today. No one could really tell him off for seemingly studying, after all, however dubious the topic of choice may be. He was only dimly aware of the two sets of approaching footsteps as he sat where he was, engrossed in an article about sentient fire. It was only at the sound of a voice that he glanced up, not even bothering to raise his head, and it was then that he felt a sinking feeling quite akin to a large, heavy boulder plunging into the ocean

Alfred was a little put-out by the boy's lack of reaction but took it in stride. He glanced over at Alicia as she spat out the question and then back to Zhi when he muttered his quiet response. The blue eyes searched the amber ones for a moment, trying to see any hint of fear and not seeing even the briefest flash. Oh the quiet ones.

He walked over, leaning on the wall near Zhi's feet, smiling at him, the tip of his wand tapping against the ledge Zhi was curled up on. "Ali's right," he said, warmly, "Now I think you really should tell us what you were doing in our common room last night."

"Because last time I checked, you're not a Gryffindor," he tilted his head, watching the other boy with a smile even though his eyes were still cold and calculating, "you're just a slimy, inconsiderate snake."

DON'T HATE ME JAY, CAUSE I LOVES YOU ; A ;

"You'd think even a snake would know to bring backup after a screw up like last night, wouldn't you Al?" Her head tilted towards her partner in crime an evil smile that would make one consider that she should be in colors a little more green and silver rather than red and gold, alighted her face. She tapped her wand against her left hand in almost a thoughtful manner.

"We'd really like to see if you have an excuse that's good enough to satisfy us" not that there would be a good enough answer, really. He'd end up with what he deserved anyway.

I LOVE YOU TOOOOO \3/

Ah, what he had been doing in their common room?

"Lighting the fireworks." And crashing the party. Obviously. Zhi didn't see the point in making an excuse; he had been caught, as had they. Only they had received the bigger punishment, and if he didn't manage an escape pretty soon, it would be his turn for it.

His eyes flicked between the two wands, before sizing up the distance between his seat on the ledge and the space over their heads, and briefly Zhi wondered how long it'd take them to react if he should vault over them and sprint to safety.
