Care of Magical Creatures Office

Located inside the Castle, on the first floor. With a large window that oversees the Grounds.

You'll find Armando Casillas here.

Or if not here, try the Ancient Runes Office. *winks*

Darien rapped sharply on the door.
"Professor...? Someone's here to see you..."

_________

Inside the office, Calista rolled her eyes.

Armando chuckled as he pulled away from Calista, "At least they remembered to knock."

"Who is it?" Armando called out. "I am busy at the moment."

"Darien, Diana and...Nick."

Calista glanced at Armando, watching his reaction.

"Nicolas?" Armando mouthed to Calista. "They must have told them."

"Alright come in then." Armando said.

Darien pushed open the door and moved to the side.

Calista watched Nicolas warily, wondering how he'd react. By the fact he hadn't turned up at court, she doubted he would be friendly to her.

"So it's true then," Nicolas said. "You are alive."

His voice was emotionless.

Diana shifted uncomfortably at the balls of her feet.

There was an awkward silence as Armando tried to find something to say to the young Gryffindor.

Darien folded his arms. "No one ever believes me! Even when I'm telling the truth!"

Calista almost laughed, but waited for Armando to speak.

"Who else knows?" Nicolas asked calmly as the silence stretched.

"The Headmistress, and everyone in this room." Armando said.

"And Ana." Darien muttered.

"Yeah," Diana said. "And Ana."

"So I'm the last to know?" Nicolas said there was an unfamiliar tone in his voice, it sounded like hurt and anger yet neither of those things.

Armando sighed.

"Where you even planning to tell me?" Nicolas said, his voice slightly higher but other than that there was no change in tone.

"Nicolas," Armando said slowly, "I was not sure..."

"¿Que usted podría fiarse de mí? You could trust me?" Nicolas finished for him.

Armando folded his arms. "What would you have done if you'd known."

"Probablemente no joder llora para usted. Probably not f****** mourn for you." Nicolas shouted.

Diana sighed, 'Here we go.'

Armando looked at Nicolas. "Nicolas calm down."

"¿No, usted dijo todo el Vaights que jode aquí y falló de mencionármelo a mí? ¡Y todo este mientras pensé que usted estuvo muerto! No, you told all of the Vaights here and failed to mention it to me? And all this while I thought you were dead!" Nicoals yelled.

"Nicolas please..." Armando begged.

"Jódale Tío. F You Uncle." Nicolas said and he turned on his heel to leave.

"Nicolas wait," Diana tried to grab his hand.

"Let go, cousin," Nicolas said steely.

Diana let go.

Nicolas left.

Darien winced, but for once said nothing. Mostly because he had very little idea what Nick had actually said, as he spoke no spanish. But even he couldn't mistake the angry tone and storming out for a happy reunion.

Calista sighed sadly. She couldn't help feeling this was somehow her fault.
"Armando? He'll come back won't he?" She stepped forwards and touched his arm.

Darien stepped towards the door. "Should I go after him? He already hates me...And it's mutual hatred."

"I..." Armando sighed distracted. "I don't know..."

"No," Diana said to Darien. "I think he needs to be alone."

Calista tried to think of something to say...and failed.

Darien nodded. "Alright...Do you reckon we made a mistake telling him?" He asked Diana.

((lol Calista.))

"I don't know," Diana said honestly. "I hope not."

"I have to talk to him," Armando said standing up. "Before he does anything... I have to make him understand..."

((lol...))

Darien winced slightly. "So do I..." He muttered.

"Shouldn't you leave him to...chill or something first?" Calista asked.

Armando shook his head. "I'm afraid he might do something..."

"Alright...Want me to come with you?" Calista asked.

"Yes," Armando said. "I think you should. Diana, where does he usually go?"

"Er..." Diana said. "I'm not sure... maybe try the Lake?"

((Is the Lake taken?))

((Dunno...it has been silent for a while.))

Calista nodded and followed Armando.

"So...I guess we'll just stay here and wait." Darien said to Diana.

"Yeah," Diana nodded. "I hope everything's okay."

Darien grunted in response. "I thought he'd be you know...happy."

"Nick's..." Diana tried to find a word for it but ended up with. "weird."

Darien raised an eyebrow.
"Weird?"

Diana shrugged, "I couldn't think of a better word alright."
