"Pureblood," Serphius said simply, without hesitation. "The de la Ravin family is one of the few long running pureblood families still around in the South of France. We've stayed pure for..." Serphius trailed off, trying to think, "Uh, ten generations, minimum. We're pretty screwed up," He admitted with a small smirk and a smaller shrug.

She nodded thoughtfully. Then parted her full lips to answer the question herself. "I am a half blood. My fathers side was pureblood, but his family disowned him when he married my mom, whom is a muggle" Chocolate eyes looked around at the shrubs as she planned her next question. Knawing on her bottom lip. She really should get rid of that habbit, one day she is gonna make her lip bleed. She smiled again, white teeth flashing, as she turned to him with another question.
"Do you have any siblings?" She started picking at her skirt again absentmindedly as she sat there. Watching him silently, waiting for an answer, with both eyebrows raised slightly. The breeze retourned, and sent goosebumps down her skin as it carressed her lower back. She looked down, and untieing the knot on her shirt, she let it cover her midriff again. Her long lashes nearly resting on her cheeks as she did this. Buttoning the four buttons back. Chocolate eyes looked back up to him, and she shifted her weight on the stone bench.[/size]

Eyes flickering from her face, to her now covered midriff, to her still bare legs and back, Serphius nodded, "Yes, unfortunately. I'm the oldest of triplets. Triplet number two is Felicia de la Ravin, sixth year Lioano, and triplet number three is Asmodeus de la Ravin, sixth year Fina," His voice carried a well disguised note of distaste, "Lets just say...We don't get along very well..."
And the award for understatement of the year goes to...

She laughed softly, the sound coming from her like a trill. "I also have two siblings, two brothers that is, Josh and Kai. Josh goes to a muggle school, while Kai goes here, he is in Fifth year" She smiled as she thought of her two younger brothers. They used to be like her best friends. Now she didn't even really talk to them. Her smile faltered and dropped for a momment. "We used to get along quite well...I'm not sure if we are even talking now" She added on half heartedly.
She licked her lips again, wow soon she was going to need to conjure up a glass of water or something. She thought for a momment, trying to come up with something else that she could ask him. Chocolate curls falling down around her face as she looked down at the stones, set deep in the ground. She closed her eyes for a second, then opened them back up again.
Ash didn't feel much like questioning him anymore. "Thanks for answering those other ones, you didn't have to sit there and take that" She had probably really made him feel cornered. Ash just didn't know how to make friends. They had always found her. She had probably came barging in on Serphius's tranquility. It suddenly dawned on her at how nosy she probably seemed. Consiounce coming in a little too late. She flicked out her wand and mumbled something. Two glasses of water appeared. She picked one up and leaned over the side of the bench. Setting it near Serphius's feet.
"Im totally parched just sitting here...and your wearing black!" She said as she picked up her glass. She tipped it back and drained the water into her mouth. [/size]

"Oh, so I am, will you look at that..." He said dryly, and reached for the glass at his feet. It felt deliciously cool to the touch. With a little groan of relief, Serphius pressed the cold dewy glass to his forehead, knocking off his polka dot trilby as he did so. He picked it up, and stuck it back onto his head
"Mm, thanks for this," he said, after he took a refreshing drink from the glass, sitting it down beside him. "So, please do remind me....Why did you want to know about me? I'm really not that interesting, no matter how...mysterious I seem."
Serphius popped the knuckle on his left hand now as he watched, and waited for Ashlei's reply. He knew it sounded like he was repeating himself, but he just couldn't quite get why she was interested.
"You know what - never-mind. I'm s'pose you're just being friendly." There was no harm in asking a few simple questions - was there?

She watched as he pressed the glass of water to his forehead. When his hat fell of she giggled despite herself. It was rather funny watching that happen. When he turned back to her and asked her that same question she smiled. She parted her lips to answer, then he answered himself. She frowned then said "Well, I guess...in a way. I don't know why I am so interested in you..." she shrugged her shoulders. Suddenly she laughed, "Man that sounded quite...well" she said between laughter.
Chocolate curls brushed against her flushed cheeks. "I like your hat" she said. Smiling sincerely. She actually rather did like his hat. Like him it was different. Not something you see a lot in this school. [/size]

Serphius managed to dig out a genuine smile for her, "Oh, you flatter me so. I quite like it too...A very close friend of mine gave it to me, before he went away. I think it brings me luck of sorts."
Serphius spun the dotty hat in one hand, looking at it fondly. Quickly, he flicked it back onto his head, sparing her the sight of his rather messy hair (he couldn't be bother trying to tame it this morning), and yawned, jaw bones cracking in the most unattractive manner.
"Oh, sorry," He said after, "I didn't get much sleep last night..."

"Nice hair" She said just before he put the hat back on. Her nose was wrinkled, but her mouth was smiling and her chocolate eyes sparkling with laughter. She was just teasing. She could care less what someones hair looked like.
She laughed as he cracked his jaw when he yawned. Ash, growing up with two brothers, was used to things like that. She has heard it all, from cracking your fingers, to shattering your shin bone so that it sticks out of your leg nearly. (Kai had an accident on a broom during Quidditch at home) She smiled and parted her lips to speak again.
"Well, the beds here are so soft, you would think you are going to sink into them and smother to death. I find myself constantly sleeping in a chair or on a couch so I don't have to worry about suffocating in a matress" She was starting to feel at ease. This kid probably wasn't going to get up and run away screaming bloody muder just because she was a little off her rocker sometimes. Thank god. She had enough of those kinds of people. [/size]

"Death by freak mattress smothering. Imagine that - what a way to go...Can't say I've ever had that fear..."
Serphius grinned, and shrugged. He pulled down his hat a little further over his wild mop of shaggy black curls, and raised a sly eyebrow at Ashlei. She liked to laugh a lot. He didn't really laugh much...He didn't smile much, either, come to think of it...
(My friend Layii done that once ((shattering his leg, not falling of a broom...)). He got his leg stuck in the railings at the skate park, and he was there for a whole night before someone found him. he's got this wicked star shaped scar on his leg now)

Ash couldn't help thinking to herself, well he doesn't smile but at least he grins..that is pretty close. Ash is a very laughing kind of person. She tends to find humour in things that really don't have any in them. She loves the exhilerating feeling that laughter brings. This kid here...doesn't seem to laugh. Well...we shall just have to see about that. Ash was now determined to at least make him chuckle. She leaned down and poked him in the side. Right under the ribs. It was a pressure point, if done right it can cause a very weird feeling. Usually people flinch and laugh because it does tickle. However, too hard and you can actually hurt the person. Ash knew exactly how much pressure to use to make it tickle.
She pulled back, her face blank and innocent. Now for the explosion. Either he will totally freak, or chuckle. She didn't expect him to laugh. That would probably startle her if he did. [/size]

Serphius had been totally unprepaired for Ashlei's mad lunge at him. Her finger made contact with the space beneath his ribs, and he yelped, and wormed away from her looking very alarmed, and confused. In his efforts to move away, he'd managed to kick his half empty glass of water. The shards glinted in the sunlight, and the precious liquid seeped into the soil.
"What the help was that all about?"

Ash's eyes watched as the glass broke. Her eyes focused on the little shards, the chocolate colour narrowed. Her head tilted for a momment, caught in the beauty of the glass shards, with little drops of water resting on almost each one. Then her gaze turned back to Serphius. A grin on her face now, quite an evil little one at that. She ran a hand through her chocolate locks and shrugged.
"Dunno...I could say Obsesive Compulsive Disorder...but I don't have that. So I guess I just felt that it was the perfect oppertunity to poke you" She smiled. She pointed her wand at the glass and muttered an incantation, it repaired itself. She filled it with water again and held it out to him. "I'm sorry" She smiled softly. She was a little odd at times, but she was honest. [/size]

Serphius watched her, jaw clenched. He shrugged off the tention, but did not return to his previous closer position.
He didn't smile. He looked slightly edgy.
"Just please, don't do it again..."
(Short, short! My not-so-darling mutti wants on. TTFN x)
