"Oh!" Charles laughed and then bowed a low bow, "My apologies, your graces." He looked up and winked at Hermione, "I had no idea that the Gods had escaped from their Greek temples." He looked up at the triplets, "I'm Charles. Your ever humble servant, Charles Garet." He couldn't keep himself from laughing. He always felt like such a goof ball in front of Hermione.
Karliah jumped at the sound of Caleb's prefect tone. She felt herself blush. She had gotten in trouble by the prefects many times and had often found herself on the other side of that commanding tone. She looked down at her feet and walked over to join the group, unable to look Caleb in the eyes. He was hiding something.

Zeus turned to Poseidon and the two looked at each other for a moment before they looked at Caleb. "Wait..I'm confused..." Zeus said as he looked around. "Isn't EVERYONE supposed to be in class?" Poseidon nodded and Hades moved over towards Charles. "So you're going to make fun of our names?"

Hermione stepped in between Charles and Hades, "No, he wasn't. Just an accute observation." She took a hold of Charles's arm, "right?" Smiling up at him, she gave him a wink. They were very interesting names, I mean her name was Hermione, so she had no room to talk.
Caleb walked passed Hermione and Charles. "Not that I owe you three any explanation, but Hermione and I have a free period and Garet is showing Karliah the castle under Professor McGonagall's instructions. Now what's your excuse?" His voice was tense and he didn't play around when it came to his prefect duties.

Charles held up his hands to signify surrender, "Just sayin, mate. No need to get defensive." He felt a little on edge as Hades got closer to him. For some reason he slipped his hand into Hermione's and then immediately removed it, "Sorry, love-" He muttered and then cursed himself again, realizing what he had said halfway in-between the sentence, "love some good old-fashioned names!"
Karliah smiled at the triplets and pulled some books out of her bag. She handed one to each of them, "Thanks for taking those off my hands." She said, trying to cover for them by fabricating a story. She didnt want to see them to get in trouble, "I'm glad you were able to find me so quickly!"

All the blood from Hermione's body flowed to her cheeks as she flushed redder than ever. How had this boy from the past come barelling into her life and make her heart feel like it's about to beat out of her chest? She wanted to reach out to him, but instead put her hands in her robes. "Looks like their names match their personalities," she whispered to Charles as she inched close to him.
Caleb glared at the three boys before sighing. Karliah had given them an aliby and he couldn't go against that. At least it would get her off his back by playing the offensive. "Well... Alright then... Off to class before I give you detention," he turned to Karliah and pointed at the hall towards the transfiguration classroom. Pulling her to the side, he spoke in a low tone so only she could hear, "at the end of the hall of McGonagall's classroom, there's a statue of a raven. Pull the wing and a door open to a set of spiral staircases that lead directly to the front of the Ravenclaw common room."

All three brothers looked at Karliah. "No problem..." Zeus jumped in behind him Poseidon mouthed the word 'thanks' and Hades held his book but turned back to Charles and Hermione. "Sorry my brothers aren't very easy to live with they've....annoyed me today.." Hades immediately moved back from the two and reformed rank by his brothers. Zeus being the front man for the group mostly said. "Ok sure we'll head to class...right after you-" Poseidon jumped in. "We'll go to class.." The three began to start walking although Zeus walked slower than he usually walked as sign to the prefect of a sort of 'eff you'

"They're due to the library today!" Karliah said before she was yanked away by Caleb. She listened very intently, "Are you saying that you want to meet me there?" She raised her eyebrows curiously for a moment, trying to figure out what he was up to.
"Look at that, they do! Zeus is their leader. RUN." Charles whispered quietly to Hermione and nudged her with his shoulder, playfully, he laughed to make sure that she knew that he was only joking when it came to the running part, "No problem mate." He answered Hades and then smiled at them, "Either way, its good to meet you all. I hope you took no offense in my little joke. I have a hard time controlling myself." He shrugged his shoulders.

Hermione turned her head away from the trio and put her face against Charles's chest to keep from laughing. As soon as she heard the boys to be far enough away, she let out a laugh, her hand holding on to his arm. "You're terrible," she said with a wide smile.
Caleb's eyes widened. "Ummm... no..." he said with an inquistive look on his face. "I was just telling you how to get from your common room to your class." Caleb let out a little smirk, "Why?... Do you want to meet me there?" his eyes gleaming with a little bit of playfulness and flirtation.

Charles drapped his arm around her so that they were in a sort of one handed hug and tried not to laugh as well; he had never been very good at being serious....or conscious of other's thoughts about him, "Oh god. I feel awful..." He said with a loud laugh, "They're going to despise me...but their names are so....GREEK!" He shook his head and smiled even wider because he was so close to Hermione.
Karliah stared at him wide-eyed, "Oh." She felt herself blush deeply, "I wasn't...well....I mean...." She didnt know what she was trying to say. She hadn't been trying to make a move on him, but the suggestion was tempting, "Do you want to meet me there?"

Hermione laughed harder, "I know what to get Hades for Christmas. That three headed dog named Fluffy." She thought of the beast the mythology in the underworld. This day just could not get any better. Usually she never would say anything about their names, but Charles's playful attitude brought out the child in her.
Caleb took a step closer to her so that she had to be pressed up against the wall else, their bodies would be touching. He looked down at her with a sly grin, "I have to make my rounds tonight and I will be there. The question is... will you?"

Charles laughed and buried his face in her hair for a moment, absorbing the moment, "You're awful you know that? You might even be worse than me." He thought about Fluffy and then stopped nuzzling her hair, "I'm pretty sure that Fluffy is around the Forbidden Forest somewhere....feeling like going on an adventure to bring the great beast to his underworld master?" He winked and then laughed, "Or better yet, we could get him a three headed gerbil. That way we could visit it for our own therapeutic purposes."
Karliah felt her breath catch in her throat, "I mean...of course I'll be there...I have to sleep at some point." She was hyper aware of the fact that they were so close and that one fatal movement would cause them to...touch, "What-er-time were you thinking?" Her words were a little rushed and she found herself staring up into his eyes, completely captivated.

Hermione's head leaned back in laughter, "I'm not sure which he'd fear more. A dog named Fluffly who happens to be a three headed monster or the devil's gerbil." It had been a long time since Hermione laughed this hard. Her arms crossed over her stomach as her side began to hurt from laughing so much. "I don't think we'll need therapy if you keep making me laugh like this, we'd need sedatives."
"Does it matter what time?" he asked giving her a subtle wink before turning around. The sound of laughter filled his ears and for the first time in minutes he was able to take in his surroundings. It seemed as if Hermione didn't need cheering up from him anymore. Clearing his throat, he took a step towards them.

"Hmmmm-" Charles thought for a moment, "Unfortunately for us, I do not have any sedatives. That is the one thing that I lack in my satchel." He said, pointing down to his school bag, "I guess we'll just have to try and push through even though it might be the most difficult thing in the world to laugh and have fun." Charles put on his woe-is-me face and then laughed a little bit.
"No." Karliah whispered and then ran her hands through her hair. She didnt move from the wall when Caleb walked away. Instead she looked at the floor, feeling her face grow even more red. It had been ages since someone had suggested hanging out. Let alone someone of the opposite sex. She took a few more breaths.

Hermione sighed, "Ah yes. The dreaded laughing of fun-ness." She heard Caleb clear his throat and she immediately pulled away from Charles, taking a step back. Only then did she realize how close they were, and as soon as she pulled away, she felt cold.
Caleb had one eyebrow cocked, "Not interrupting am I?"

Charles looked at Caleb and then back at Hermione and assumed the only thing that a reasonable man would in this situation, "Oh god, mate...I'm sorry." He said, immediately think that Caleb and Hermione had been on some sort of date, "I wasn't trying to--We were just catching up. Its been a long couple of months without her!" He said with a smile and took a few more steps back. He looked around, searching the hallway for Karliah, but he couldn't find her, "Listen...I'm sorry for interrupting your....erm....date or whatever this is. But, I should go find Karliah. Before she ends up in the middle of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom again attempting to read her palm." He cast one last glance at Hermione.
