Quinn walked into the Great Hall, holding her head. She wanted the massive headache that she had been feeling to finally go away, however, she knew there was little to no chance that it would. She had been alone last night, and that never boaded well for her. She had sought comfort in an old family photo album and a flask of firewhiskey in her room. She spent at least four hours drinking and crying her eyes out over her murdered parents, possibly sister, and currently captive daughter.
Quinn had ended up with a massive hangover.
She sat down at the Gryffidnor table and pulled her knees up to her chest. She grabbed a small piece of toast and let it sit on her plate as she stated at it.

Xavier strolled into the Great Hall with a small smirk on his face. He liked being able to roam the castle in the day..without getting caught. Xavier scanned the room for people of interest...no one really..until he saw Quinn and strutted over to her and leaned in over he shoulder. "Well hello there!"

Quinn's eyes drifted up from the piece of toast and to Lance's face practically perched on her shoulder, "Well hey there! Look at you...out and about. Isn't this a surprise!" Quinn wiped some of the makeup off from the bottom of her eyes and tried held her head still; she feared if she moved it any more than an inch that she would throw up all over the Great Hall, and that was an embarrassment that she would rather like to save for another day.

Xavier smiled brightly and said. "Indeed...I've been cleared..I can walk around now and attend classes and all the rest of it!" Xavier noticed she looked a bit....rough. "Rough night?" Xavier questioned although he already knew the answer.

"Well aren't you lucky." Quinn returned the smile and patted the bench next to her, encouraging him to sit down next to her and stay a while, "I'm happy for you, Mystery-Man. That's great news! What happened for them to clear you?" She was trying to sound as excited as possible without overdoing it. Then she registered his 'rough night' comment and sighed, "It was indeed a very rough night. Spent alone crying over an old photo album with my good olde friend, Fire Whiskey." She laughed and then drew her knees closer to her chest again. She finally took a bite of her toast.

Xavier sat down and looked at the other Gryffindor's...some giving him funny looks and others just trying to ignore him. "Well I was vouched for...by Eileen..I spoke to Eileen about you by the way.." Xavier said trying to sound non-challant bout it. "I can see why it'd be a rough night...." Xavier spoke like he usually spoke...he wasn't sure why someone would cry over photographs even if they're of dead people.

Quinn's eyes shot up, "Why would you talk to Eileen about me?" Her voice grew hard and she looked at Mystery-Man almost with distain, "Do you realize what you have done? I never ever wanted to see her again. And now she knows I'm here....There was a reason that I've steered clear of her." She said and threw her toast onto her plate with a loud clanking noise, "You have no idea what my night was like, you. You have no idea."

Xavier threw his hands up in surrender. "Sorry...I didn't know she just said you used to be friends and I didn't know you knew each other so excuse me." Xavier didn't say any more as he listened to her but he kept his face completely straight like he didn't quite understand. "I'm sorry...?" Xavier said as an almost default response. "I..." He began but cut himself off he didn't want her getting any more angry with him that she already was.

Quinn tried to relax when he apologized, but her muscles all felt too tense underneath her skin, "Just....UGH." She picked up the toast again and began tearing it into little pieces, "My parents. Eileen was the one who killed them." She muttered, throwing the pieces into a tiny circle around her plate, "Murdered them. While they slept. They never even saw it coming." Her eyes grew cold and she refused to look at Mystery-Man.

Xavier sat. He was stunned, he couldn't move but he tried to speak. "What?" Xavier had wondered where Eileen had learned the dark arts but now it seemed to make sense. Xavier couldn't speak any more although it didn't completely horrify him like it might other people..but it was..something to think about.

Quinn nodded her head slowly and then grabbed an apple and took a bite out of it, "Oh yes, Mystery-Man. She killed my parents. It wasn't just some random Death Eater who I had no connections with. It was a....a girl that was in my wedding." Quinn took another bite and finally managed to look at Xavier, "It was betrayal."

Xavier still sat still and said. "I think I might need to talk to her about that..later.." Xavier spoke much like he always did..like he wasn't bothered although he was...he wondered how much else he didn't know about Eileen...what other things hadn't she told him? What lies had she told him?

"How can you act so casual! We're talking about murder here." Quinn said and stood up. Blood rush to her head. She had to sit right back down and put her head in-between her knees, "I....I don't want to...." She couldn't figure out what she was trying to say, her words were getting mixed up in her head, "I don't want to see her face again. Or see her really cool red hair. Or hear her voice. Or see her stupid smile. Or ANYTHING!" Quinn threw her apple and it bounced and hit Angelina Johnson in the face. She groaned, "Sorry Johnson..." She muttered and bowed her head again. This day was turning out to be a winner.

Xavier turned to her. "I'm not casual! Would you rather me be like this! I am fu**ing out of my mind right now with both worry and I've now just found out the only girl I really care about is a murderer!" Xavier turned back to face the table and his tone changed rather drastically to his usual state. "So what am I supposed to do?"

Quinn jumped when he started raising his voice and she looked up at him. But just as soon as it had started, he was back to his normal nonchalant state, "C'mon, Mystery-Man. You had to realize that something was up with her. Shrouded in mystery, just like you....Extreme knowledge of the Dark Arts....She's-" Quinn couldn't think of what she wanted to say. Truth be told, she just wanted to talk with Eileen. The last time they had spoken had been rough, but it was the day after she had killed her parents. Quinn took a deep breath, "I don't know what you're supposed to do. I'm not your life coach, Slytherin."
