Harry walked in the door, frowning. He had had a very bad day. First, that prat Malfoy had decided to start a food fight. That is to say, he had walked towards the double doors to the Great Hall, and as he was leaving, dumped a bowl of oatmeal on Harry's head and down his robes. And none of the teachers saw it. It was useless trying to prove it though, since all the teachers knew of their rivalry. And Malfoy was the golden Gryffindor who could do no wrong, since 'Daddy' was the Minister of Magic and all.

After that lovely incident, Harry had had to rush back to his dorm and grab a clean set of clothes before taking a shower. But when he got to the bathroom, he forgot the password and spent 10 minutes trying to guess it, during which time the oatmeal hardened in his hair. Finally, he gave up and made a note to ask a prefect. In the meantime, he had to use the regular showers that everyone else used. It took him 15 minutes to clean his hair, and another 5 to clean his body. This made him late for his first class of the day, Transfiguration. Since he was late, Professor Julius had docked 10 points from Slytherin and given him a detention tomorrow to boot.

On top of everything else, Harry managed to turn his Draught of Living Death bright orange. It was supposed to be a light purple! Then his mom had docked him 10 points and given him a 0 for the period. After dinner, he had Quidditch practice. His whole team must have been having crappy days as well, because not one of them could play right. After 20 minutes, he had called it a day. Before he left, though, he yelled at all of them, called them useless gits, and reminded them that their first match against Gryffindor was in two weeks.

So here he was. He growled angerly a a random first year to move the hell out of his chair. The first year took one look at him and scampered. With a sigh, he sank into the chair and threw one leg over the arm as he always did. Harry massaged his temples and waited to see if anyone was going to show up.

Riskia's head turned from its position in the chair when she heard something slam. Her back arched as she tried to get a good look at who it had been. The pale, almost liquid paper skinned girl was laying in a chair, her back on the part that most people sat on, the back of her neck resting on the Armrest. Her legs where thrown over the back of the chair at an angle, her body angled at her waist. Her black, waist length hair was pooled on the floor, at the side. God forbid someone step on it, there would be hell to pay. After arching her back far enough, she was able to move her head enough to see who it was...Oh, just Snape. D.A.D.A. and Potions kid, if she remembered correctly.

Her knowledge of the students at this school was limited; She had been home-schooled in witchcraft and wizardry by her parents, when they where home, and Stacey and Lace when they went traveling. Although she was home schooled in W&W, she had gone to a muggle school, since the district they lived in was up-tight about that crap.

Hmm...And to think...if maybe, maybe she hadn't gone, she wouldn't be dealing with this problem.
I am not a "problem" as you put it so lightly, nor am I a condition, I am a part of you, and that's that.Ugh! Enough of this, we have this conversation everyday for crying out loud. Then we go on to the 'they only way for me to get rid of you is suicide, and even if I could do it without killing myself, it would still be form of suicide, or something like that...Just get over yourself and go away. Yes, Riskia had a split personality, or an Alter-ego, call it what you will. Although it prefers the name "Vera." Apparently she is what results in getting in a alley way fight with some stuck up preppy brat.

She thingyed one of her delicate eyebrows when Snape growled at some kid, her eyes amused,a slight shadow of a smirk tugging at the corners of her mouth; the 1st year had ran like the devil himself was chasing after him. Well now someone had a bad day. She thought amused at the fuming male across from her.


Bad day, huh?

Her words had the very distinct southern, or, more specifically speaking, Texan accent, a slightly amused tone to them. The words also weren't a question, they where a statement. Anyone could tell he'd had a crappy day by his face, and the gossip girls help considerably.

Some 4th year k now-it-all preppy girls start screeching excitedly about something, but when Riskia righted herself to glare at them, the second they saw her ice gaze, they shut up. She then sat back down on the chair sideways, her head back on the armrest, her long legs hanging off the other end.


"What to talk about it?"

Again her voice had an amused southern accent, a hint of a musicality to it. She knew once she got started, the only way to calm down was to talk about it, but she had had her sisters for that.

Without looking up, Harry growled at the girl, "No, I don't want to...oh." The words died on his lips when he saw who it was. The den Adel girl. She was in all his classes, he ought to know who she was. His face took on a weary look. "Yeah, sure, why not? Maybe it'll help."

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before speaking. His words seemed to flow out of him like a broken dam. "OK, so it all started this morning. I was in the Great Hall, minding my own business, when that prat Draco 'I can do no wrong' Malfoy decides to dump a bowl of oatmeal on my head and down my robes. Naturally, I was pissed. And none of the teachers saw it, not even my mum or dad. I sent a Pus Hex at him, but I missed and it hit one of the Hufflepuffs. Not that they would do anything to their precious Gryffindor anyway. Not with Daddy being the Minister. Frankly, I'm surpried they do anything to me. My dad, is, after all, the Deputy Headmaster."

"After that wonderful incident, I had to run back here to grab a clean set of clothes before taking a shower. But when I got to the bathroom, I totally forgot the password and spent the next 10 minutes trying to guess it, during which time the oatmeal hardened in my hair. Finally, I said screw it and used the regular showers. It took me like 15 minutes to clean my hair, and another 5 to clean my body, which made me horribly late for Transfiguration. Since Professor Julius tends to be strict, he docked me 10 points and gave me a detention. You were there, you saw it."

He paused before continuing. "So then I had Potions, right? So I'm working on Draught of Living Death we were supposed to be brewing today, and I was so not focused, because my potion turned a bright orange. Orange! it's supposed to be a light purple. You saw my mum carrying on at me, well that's what she was mad about. And I got a 0 for the period."

"Then after dinner, I had Quidditch practice. Well, either the whole team was having bad days as well, or they were just having an off day, because not one of them could play right. A couple of them actually fell off their brooms. After about 20 minutes, I called it a day. But before I left, I yelled at all of them, called them useless gits, and reminded them that our first match against Gryffindor is in two weeks. At the rate we're going, we won't be winning the Cup this year. Either of them."

As Harry finished his story, he opened his eyes, His green orbs seemed to burn into her. He let his breath out in a whoosh. "So, that's my day. Oh, and when I finally get here, hoping to relax, I see some lowly first year in my chair. I mean, come on!" A weak smile came to his face. "I feel better now." He stretched before asking, "Have you seen my dad around lately? Oh, and how was your day?"

She had prepared herslf to a firery come-back when he started growling at her, and then cooled jer jets when he saw it was her. Then he agreed, and told her about what had happened to him; She\'s been there for the lessons and the oatmeal, but not the other things. Her lips where pressed together to keep from laughing. That almost topped the day when Riskia had missed the bus to school, forgot her luch and choir money on the counter, had gotten her monthly \"gift\" at school, had left her cell phone at home, AND had had painful cramps all day, which was saying something because she has an alarmingly high pain tollerance.
Dear god...That almost tops this one day I had in the 7th grade...Almost, though.Virtually everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.She just shook her head, amused at both his crappy day and her own three years ago. But...Okay...She had to admit it...The expression on his face when Mister President dumped the oatmeal on his head had been priceless.
Your day sucked. You should have stayed in bed. Good thing you didn\'t have the toliet paper in your shoe thing, or you might have lost your mind. ANd my day wasn\'t near as \"eventful\" as yours. Although my potion was bit lighter then it should of been, but I guess she didn\'t notice.The look in her eyes clearly conveied the \'because she was too busy getting on your tail about your potion being orange.\'\"And no I haven\'t seen you dad after D.A.D- For the love of Christ and all things holy; will you three please shut up?!
She hadn\'t seen his dad since after class, then those three little brats started schreeching about something or another again. God that hurt! Some people\'s ears where realy sentive about the high-pitched squealing. She had grabbed the head of the chair, and whipped her self up, and apperntly Riskia\'s glare and the tone in her voice -used mainly for the horses that where in trouble during riding lessons- had made them scamper off to their room. She settled back into her chair. Just then her Calico came prancing in, tail raised high, and hoped into Riskia\'s lap. The cat rubbed her face against Riskia\'s hand, then jumped over to where Harry was sitting, and started rubbing against him.

Well now that wasn\'t something you saw every day. Abbeyy had willing gone up to another person, without the intent of clawing their face off. She was such a fickle thing. Abbeyy was truley the Slytherian Princess, no matter what anyone else said. Soon after though, Abbeyy got bored of the boy, and jumped back to her misteress, shoving her head under Riskia\'s hand, demading attention.
Sorry about that, my ears are sentive to loud high-pictched noises, and those girls wheren\'t helping any. But no, I haven\'t seen your dad. Odd...Abbeyy actually likes you, that\'s a first.

Harry laughed, a real one this time. "That day could not have possibly been worse then today." He gave a cheerful grin. "You're right. Although, then I would have got more detentions for skiving off class. Maybe I should go to the Weasley's joke shop and buy some of the Skiving Snackboxes. They look brilliant!"

Harry groaned. "You have no idea how much I wanted to go punch his face in. I'm pretty skilled in Muggle defense. But hey, I have to have some way to defend myself outside of school. Besides, most witches and wizards rely on their wands. So if something happens and my wand gets taken from me, I can still hold my own."

Harry just shrugged. "At this point, it would have just been the icing on the cake." He pouted for a moment. "Either he's just super-busy, or he's avoiding me. I'm not sure which. And yeah, short of blowing up the dungeon, I don't think she would have noticed anyone else."

Harry looked over Riskia's shoulder and roared, "HEY! KEEP IT THE BLOODY HELL DOWN!" In his anger, he fired off three Stinging Hexes, and saw at least one hit the mark as the brats scampered. He saw the cat jump into his lap and smiled as he petted it. "Hey there, kitty." He checked under the cat's tail before asking Riskia, "He yours? Oh, guess so."

The cat had jumped from her lap, to him, back to her. "Abbeyy? Unusual name for a cat." He sneezed. "AH-CHOO! Sorry, cats make me sneeze. I'm more of a dog person, myself. I've got 2 Great Danes at home, a fawn and a harlequin. Their names are Bentley and Boo, respectively."

Riskia scoffed when he said it couldn\'t have been worse then his day.\"Okay, well, I was suppose to wake up at 7 Am to get ready for school and get to the bus by 7;35. Well, i woke up at 7:30, needless to say I missed the bus...In my rush to try to make it, I forgot my lunch and Choir money on the counter. The night before that I forgot to finsh a major project. I had gotten a not-so-pleasent-suprirse at school, I\'ll leave you hanging on the deatils there, had ot run run 3 miles in gym in the bitter cold, and had forgotten my cell phone, all while dealing with painful cramps that made me want to curl up i a ball and cry. Which is hard to do by the way. Go through that then come talk top me about a bad day.She smiled as she said that last part. That smile grew wider as shye imagined Malfoy with his pretty face smashed. She wined as he yelled at the girls, and choked back a laugh when one of his spells hit one.
\" Idouby he\'s avoiding you, but then again I know little to knothing about anyone. But from what I\'ve seen, it\'s rther hetic right now. And he is the Deputy Headmaster after all. And yes, they6 Royal brat is mine. Oh, there she goes.\" The calico jumped off her lap, and pranced off, tail raised. She muttered a \'Bless you\' when he sneezed. Hm..Only two animals? Well, then again, most of her animals where horses, minus the 3 dogs and 3 barn cats.
Really? We haveb three German Sheaperds, 3 other barn cats, and roughly 45 horses...and of course Taco the donkey. Don\'t.Say.Anything. I oculd list all the names, but we\'d be here for quite a while...it takes 5 minutes to get the horses names right, and we just had 6 foals before we moved to England, so that throws everything off. But yeah, as you can guess, I\'ve groen up around a LOT of animals myt whole life...I don\'t know what I would do without them.\"She laughed then. How it sounded like she was trying to out-do him! Well, she wasn\'t, she was just telling it like it was. Anyway...

She rolled her eyes when he said they'd tied, whatever, no use beating a dead horse, or so the saying went. She recounted after he sai 56...She knew that wasn't right...
"No, the foals count into the 45...wait that's not right...Ugh my head! I forgot that we had moved here..Hang on..okay, after Indy there where 40 horses...Four where boarded, and two died, leaving us at 36 before we came here; Then add the foals, and thats 40, Taco makes 41, the 6 cats and dogs make it 47. And I told. you. not. to. say. anything. And show some repect; He's your elder by one and 1/10th of a decade; That's 11 years if your slow at math. SO obviously I'm not the one who named him. Smart ass."
She had scowled when he made the hungry comment. The horse was 11 years her elder, she had no ontrol over what her parents had named him. She couldn't help but 'insult' him with the slow at math thing, but hopefully he knew she was just kidding.

Harry rolled his eyes. He was fairly good at reading people, and unless they were experts at keeping emotions hidden, he could usually tell when someone was joking and when they were serious. That being said, he knew Riskia was joking. He said casually, ""Believe me, if I thought you meant to truly insult me, you'd be on the ground."

Then he laughed. He would never hurt Riskia. Ever. He was just teasing, anyways. Harry shook his head. "Wow. How'd you afford to keep all of those animals? Moreso, when did you find the time do do anything else?" Swinging his leg, he said, "OK, were your parents hungry when they named him? On a real note, though, is he nice? Taco, I mean?"

She just arched an eyebrow when he said he'd have her on the ground in a second.
"Psh, please, I've ridden things scarier things then you."
That comment was true as well, when she'd been 13, she'd been riding Zen,one of the meaner horses, who should have been a Rodeo horse rather then a show horse, and had been bucked off, and had hit the fence post of the Arena, breaking her back. At the memory, her lower back had a sharp spazm of pain, and she moved to a more comfortable postion, her hands going to whereher back hurt. The pain wnet away, and she heard him wonder how they maintained that many animals.
"Well, it's not like My parents, my two sisters and I take care of them by ourselves,we have -or did have anyway, my parents are probably looking for some right now- Hired help, we had atleast 3 differnt people come every day to take care of them, 19 of the horses are school horses, so we make quiet a bit of moeny from that. Then the rest are either boarded, so we get money for keeping them, or are private horses, used for showing. And we only show the best that we have, so we most of the time make a place high enough for some money reward to be a prize. SO, with at least 3 people at the barn form 5:30 A.M. to 7;30 P.M., we have enough to time ot have a social life. And I wouldn't know if they had been hungry or not. He was nice when he was younger, I guess, but now he's just a grumpy old man. Although I have made it my personal business to see to everything that happens to one of the horses, because she was suppose ot die when she was born, but she pulled through, and is a very promising Reiner."

Harry grinned. "OK, have it your way." He looked at her with admiration. "I could never have that many animals. I simply don't have the patience. But if...Taco..." (here he had to hold back a snort of laughter) "...if he is eleven years my senior, and I'm 16, that makes him 27, yes? How long do donkeys normally live for? And what's a Reiner?"

I apologize for disappearing, and I know Isaid I'd rely, but I'm tired,so here is a nifty link for you tolook at
Click for information on reining
She listened to him just surrender the aurgument; Smart boy. He asked how long donkeys could live. She remebered this summer about her dad saying he didn't know what he was going to do when Taco died, and their stale hand, Edaward, had said something abut Donkey's living until they 35.
"In all honesty, he could die tomorrow, or live to be 35-ish. The old brat won't go out quietly either, I can promise that. Such a silly little thing, Taco.
And then he asked the dreaded question; What is renier? The port didn't get quiet as much publictiy s others, such as cutting and Berrel racing, but it was still tons of fun to perform.
" A renier is a horse that performs in Rening compitions;and, since I know you will more then likely ask anyway, I'll explain it. Reining is a Western style horse sport, graded on a set number of performances and moves, and how well the moves are performed. The moves are the slide; Where the horse ges from a dead gallop, then halts immedialty, drops it's backlegs, sliding, and "walks" with it's front legs; A good slip sends dirt flying in all directions. A spin, where the horse spins around it's back right or left leg, the other three going around it, and you have to spin for a ertan amount circles, and get points reduced for stopping before or after the ark where you started. Circles, either slow ones at a cnter, or fast ones at a gallop. Normally people do figure 8's to do their circles and flying leasd changs where, for a lead, a horse either takes it's right or let lead at a cante,r and gallop, a flying lead change is when you have the horse flip the leads from right to left, or left to right, in mid-stride. Again, points are tken off if it takes more ten one stride ot it, or if the horse flips it's front legs, and not it's back legs, and vice versa. SO people will do the figure 8's since they can kill two birds with one stone. Change the leads at the center of the , etc,etc. A backup is retty self explaotory, the horse backs up at least ten feet in perfect -or as perfect as possible- line. A roll back is whn the horse goes from a slide, and turns around t an 180 angle, and canters, without any hestation at all.

Harry just sat there, amazed as Risika spewed all this information about reining. He had no idea she was so knowledgeable about horses. It impressed him. Even though he loved dogs--Great Danes in particular---he had never bothered to learn much about the breed.

He spoke to Risika. "That's pretty cool how you know all that. Very impressive. And, I hope Taco lives to be, like, 50." He stretched and said, "Hey, wanna go play a prank on Professor Julius?" Harry grinned. "He's pretty good natured, and we'll all have a good laugh."


((S'alright. And I read the link too. That's pretty cool.))

She jut rolled her eyes when he made the comment on him living to be 50. She then grinedlike a Chesire when he made the comment on puling a prank on the prof.
Much as we may hope so, tat is highly unlikely...And sure..why not?...! Wait right there for a second... Never would have thought I'd be needing the fishing wire, but whatever."
The last part had been said quieter, more to herself, then Harry.She darted up the stairs to her dorm, black hair trailing behind her, and went to her room, and then went striaght to her trunk. Digging through it, she shifted trough clothes, books, makeup, and just about everything else she had in there, she finaly found the fishing wire. She raised it above her head like it was a holy handgrenade (gotta love Monty PythonXD) celebrating her victory.

She walked down the steps, taking them two at a time, and plopped back down in her chair, holding it in both hands. She said musingly, tossing i inbetween her hands;


"We can use this if tripping is involved...or running..which normally leads to tripping... Fishing wire is invaluable for Capture the Halter...Which is a game the staff and everyone play at night at the barn."

Capture the Halter..like Capture thr flag, but they would devide the property in half, one team getting one side, the other getting another... On the School side of the barn, where the students tack, adn the school horses where kept...her team had tied fishing wire on their sides of the stalls, opening th door to narrow the hallway...The look on Riskia's face when she had scred Brent -who had been on the other tem- into running through the wire...my God..it had been pricless when he flipped like a burger.

She looked up at him, a ischevious glint in her eyes.


I am back in action
