Trying not to get lost (open)

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

After a momentary internal cringe at the sight of all the blood, Dare glanced up at the boy, one corner of his lips rising. "Maybe I'm a nice guy," he said, then turned his eyes down to the wand motions that would slow and hopefully stop the flow of blood. "I've heard it's Stereotypical Gryffindor Hero Syndrome too, so you never know." Yes, he was a nice guy, despite what people might think because of his appearance, or worse, because of the Daily Prophet. Which, luckily, most first years didn't read.

[Jeremy Martin]

"Oh okay I guess that is true. So..rry for being a bother by the way, even if you say I wasn't a bother I still sorry." said Jeremy looking at his hand. Then he looked at Dare and smiled, "You know you remind me of my cousin Tristan, I don't know why but you just do." said Jeremy but then he became quiet and thought that maybe Dare didn't want to hear what Jeremy thought.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Dare glanced up at the boy and his lips quirked again. "I'm going to take that as a compliment," he said, teasing gently. He turned his attention back to the small hand in his, and when he'd finished, cast a cleaning spell. "You hurt anywhere else?" he asked. He could find out the kid's name when he was sure he was all right.

[Jeremy Martin]

"No that is it, thanks again. My name is Jeremy, nice to meet you." said Jeremy as he looked at his hand. Then he thought about something. "Umm I have question do you know ..where the Gryffindor common room? That is why I made a mess, I got lost looking for the Gryffindor common room." said Jeremy.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Dare nodded, then tossed his head slightly to shift his fringe back a little. It fell into its place almost immediately after, but he hoped the action had disguised the slight darkening of his eyes at the question. He hadn't been in the Gryffindor Common Room for ages. He didn't at all want to go now, but the likelihood that anyone would try anything was probably pretty slim by now. "I can walk you up there if you want. Easier than getting lost again." He knew how easy that was. "And my name's Alasdair. People call me Dare, though. Nice to meet you, Jeremy."

[Tristan Logan]

Tristan was walking around when he saw Jeremy with Dare and also a mess of armor. He walked up to both Jeremy and Dare. "Jeremy, are you becoming a bother to someone like always." said Tristan coldly as he glared at Jeremy. Then he saw Jeremy's healed hand with a little of dried blood. "You got hurt again, Jeremy you are an idiot." said Tristan then he looked at Dare. "Sorry about my cousin I know he was a bother." said Tristan

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Dare's brows lowered, and his eyes darkened slightly. "He's not a bother," he said, then pushed to his feet, towering more than half a foot over the other boy. "Accidents happen," he said. He only broke his gaze to throw an encouraging look down to Jeremy, then pulled out his wand to deal with the suit of armor. He probably could have left it there and let Filch deal with it, but he'd told Jeremy that he'd take care of it.

[Tristan Logan]

Tristan just smiled and looked at Dare. "Sure what ever Jeremy come over here now. Stay close to me next time, I can't believe I have to watch you." said Tristan as he glared at Jeremy. "Jeremy you know that if you do something wrong both of us would get in trouble."

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

"He didn't do anything wrong," Dare said firmly. Who was this cocky little kid? Obviously new and apparently someone who knew Jeremy, but something about him triggered Dare's protective reflexes. "This is Hogwarts, not wherever it is you're from. The headmistress isn't going to punish anyone for knocking over a suit of armor."

[Tristan Logan]

"Well where I came from which was Durmstrang, we would get in trouble for anything. I can't believe I came here during my fifth year to watch over my little cousin and on top of that I get into the same house as him too. My mom is so over protective of you that she forgets what happens to other people who get close to you." said Tristan as looked at Jeremy and just started to ignore Dare.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

"You know, if you think being from Durmstrang is going to impress me, you're wrong." Dare stepped up closer to the boy, purposefully intimidating. Was he braindead? Dare knew how intimidating he was when he tried. He could physically pound the kid to dust if he wanted. Durmstrang's reputation for Dark Magic didn't scare him, either. His fiancé was an ex-Death Eater. If he got his ass kicked in a wizards' duel, he'd be avenged. Dare caught himself being melodramatic, but he wasn't at all used to being ignored, and it rubbed him the wrong way.

[Tristan Logan]

"I wasn't trying to impress you nor do I care if do." said Tristan as he looked at Dare. "I was just trying to tell Jeremy that where I came from how much trouble we get in by doing stuff by accident and I also want to warn you too. My warning to you is to back away from me or else I will have to break that nose of yours." said Tristan smirking.

[Dare Blackwood-Hardt]

Dare laughed in the kid's face. "You couldn't reach my nose," he said. His hand clenched with the desire to break the kid's nose, but it wouldn't be a fair fight, and even if it had been, Jeremy was standing right there. "I suggest you step off, kid," he said.

[Tristan Logan]

Tristan just looked at Dare and then glared at him. "Is that the truth or a lie about me not bring able to reach your nose. Besides I think you are only telling me a lie so, I would back off is that right." said Tristan trying his best not to punch Dare in the face.

[Jeremy Martin]

Jeremy got up and went between both Tristan and Dare. "Please Tristan, stop it. Don't start a fight please." said Jeremy as he looked scared and worried. He didn't want a fight start or someone getting hurt because it was his fault.
