a kiss could be deadly [dimitri]

[persephone]

Persephone looked up at the sun and then gave a cocky little smile as she continued to walk toward the caretaker's hut, she had spent most of the morning at the black lake as she usually did. It was a comforting place for her and she loved to see the black waters of the lake and the occasional ripple of the creature's that lived within its depths. Some of them where curious as to who she was because they hadn't seen her before but it would seem that they had now grown used to her being there. On more than one occasion Seph had started up a conversation with one of the merfolk that lived within the black lake. The merfolk where such interesting creature's, and she enjoyed to listen to their story's of life in the water and she sometimes wondered what it would be like to join them. But all too soon those thoughts faded as she felt a sharp pain in her ribs. She gasped in shock and then looked down at her ribs and then gave a sigh. It would seem that her newest injury from her father had re-opened and was now bleeding through her pure white shirt causing a crimson red blotch to begin and she could feel the blood running down her ribs.

You couldn't tell by looking at the beautiful Care of Magical Creature's professor's face, but her body was covered in marks such as the one on her rib cage. Her father didn't want her to be a teacher her at Hogwarts, he would have rathered that she had become a Death Eater, little did he know but she already was one. She just refused to tell him that little fact. It was the last sign of stubbornness that she was aloud to show considering her father was a Death Eater himself, and a very good one. But her orders didn't come from her father and she was here for a reason. What that reason was, she didn't even know, but her higher ups wanted her here for a reason and she would follow orders even if it eared her beatings from her father. Her father would just have to learn to deal with the fact that his only child was a professor at Hogwarts. She had learned to live with that fact even though she would have much rather spent her time partying it up in Los Vegas with the guys, getting drunk, and dancing, away from all the pain and misery that her blasted family brought to her. It took a lot to break Persephone and she had yet to break, but she was close to that breaking point.

When Seph heard someone behind her she quickly placed her hand over her ribs in an attempt to hid the blood, but that effort was useless and she should have known that she hand would be too small to cover the large blood stain that was starting. She turned her green eyes ahead of her and started to walk again trying to attempt to look like she hadn't heard the person coming. But she did pick up her pace a bit in an attempt to lose the person behind her and to get to her hut where she could spell lock the door. But the added stress of being followed only caused Seph's heart to race and pump more blood which caused her to bleed even more. The young Professor felt her herself growing weak and lightheaded and all too soon her body couldn't support her and she fell to her knee's gasping for breath. This was not how she had been planning her day, and she wished that she had thought to wrap her wound before leaving. Well, too late now she figured.

[dimitri]

Dimitri was out for a walk around the Black Lake. He loved the fresh air. He had came to Hogwarts as a teacher for Defense Against the Dark Arts. The school was full of very pretty female teachers. But one young woman caught his eye. The young and beautiful Persephone Grant. There was something mysterious about her that drew him in. He needed to learn more about her and get to know her. So back to the present. Dimitri was walking and he noticed Persephone at the black lake. But he noticed her sort of walk back to her hut. He smiled deciding it would be the perfect time to get to know her and charm his way into her heart. He ran his hand through his hair quickly and unbuttoned a few of the buttons on his shirt.

He followed silently behind her, admiring her beauty. But he could tell she heard him. For she was running. He simply walked behind her keeping a bit of a fast pace but making it obvious he wasn't chasing her. Suddenly he saw her legs break out and her fall. That was when he ran slightly. He ran around her and kneeled so he was looking her in the face. It was even more beautiful than he thought. But he saw a red stain on her white shirt. He noticed it was blood. He gave her a concerned look. "You okay? What happened?" he asked her. It seemed to be bleeding quite a lot. She needed something else to put on the wound.

Dimitri couldn't believe he was doing this. He took off his shirt and tossed it to her. "Here, tie this around the wound until I can get you to some help." he told her. The shirt might help stop the bleeding a bit. He expected her to do what he said. But he did wait a minute to see if she protested against it. But she would want help, wouldn't she. But if she needed help, why wasn't she heading to the hospital wing, why was she going to her hut? What even caused the bleeding? Dimitri didn't notice anything try and hurt her. It was sort of random. He wondered if it was even as serious as he thought. But she did fall down weakly, didn't she? It couldn't be just some pathetic little paper cut.
