Apollo stalked up the stairwell to the Owlery, groaning he finally made it to the top. He didn't understand the point of everything being so da.mn high in this school. He had to climb at least 50 fights of stairs a day. But at least he was in good health. He shook his head, trying to get the incessant rambling in his head to stop.
He sat down when he finally reached the top and pulled out a quill and some parchment:
Dear Mum and Dad, Just wanted to let you know that everything's been alright at Hogwarts. I'll let you know when I know something more about Artemis. Apollo
Short and sweet and to the point. He had never been one to give out more detail then was demanded of him. His owl flew down and he began tying the letter to his small foot.

Faith was singing softly as she made it to the top of the Owlery. Her 'love letter' was clutched tightly in her hand as she trailed along the banister.
"Yoohoo, Polka? Letter to James." Polka flew to her and took the letter in her beak, only travelling a short distance. "Make sure you wait for his reply." The owl gave a screech as she headed out of the owlery and Faith sunk, ready to bunker down and wait.
"Oh..." She started as she saw Apollo for the first time. "I'm sorry... I didn't know anyone was in here..." A feint blush crept onto her cheeks.

Apollo looked up from his owl and stared curiously at her for a moment. Something about her seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He continued staring until he realized what he was doing. He blinked a few times and looked away.
Then he led his small owl to the window and watched her fly away before actually saying anything, "Who's James?" He asked curiously and leaned against the windowsill so that he was facing her, "Brother? Dad? Boyfriend? Husband? I figure he must be one of those relations, right?" He wasn't one to just strike up a conversation with someone, but she looked...friendly.
"Then again...You never know. Could just be a code name...sending a letter to a correspondent." He shrugged. That was exactly what he had been doing, so why not? Stranger things had happened.

Faith blushed even deeper as she pulled her knees up to her chest. "No... he's not my boyfriend. He...well...I..." Faith had no clue how to explain it so she took a few deep breaths.
James was the guy she had been in love with ever since she came to Hogwarts. Something she had just gotten up to courage to send a letter but still. "He's a friend." She summed up as she looked up at him.
"And who might you be, dare I ask?"

Apollo watched her blush and felt himself grow more confident, "Apollo. Apollo Foale." He said and extended a hand towards her, "Surprised you haven't heard of me. Then again..." He looked at her robes. Hufflepuff, "I guess that I'm not really that surprised considering we come from two different sides of the social spectrum. You are....?"
He suddenly withdrew his hand and picked up his bag, "Just a friend then?" He said, returning to the James comment. He looked at her sitting down, looking like she was desperately waiting, "Are you really going to...sit here and wait?" He raised an eyebrow, "Desperate much?"

"Faith, Faith Anderson. Guess that's true. Wait... nope doesn't ring a bell..." Faith laughed as she eyed him warily. Slytherin, probably not a good match She let her eyes trace his body and shrugged slowly as she moved back up to his face.
"I've been in love with him for years, so yea, I'm pretty desperate, What else do you expect from a Hufflepuff?"

Anderson. The name rang a bell, but it didn't register with Apollo yet. He smiled and pushed some of his hair away from his face, "Love is a stupid institution. You should just give up now. Settle for people you expect to hurt you and one night stands. They're easier." He said and shrugged, "What else do I expect from a Hufflepuff? I hardly think that stereotyping is fair....but if you insist."
He thought about it for a moment, "I expect you're either a muggle born or a very sad half blood, loyal, perhaps idiotic, maybe too dense to even realize that I'm simply joking with you..." Apollo pushed his bag out of the way and sat down so that he was perched on the windowsill, still looking at her, "Anderson." He repeated and then it dawned on him, "Hmmmmmm. Any relation to Charity, then?"

"Me? Pureblood. Loyal yes. Idiotic yes. Dense no." Faith laughed as she looked up at him. He wasn't half bad but he wasn't Jaime. "Love is what us Hufflepuffs believe in. It gives us... Faith..." She grinned easily but stiffened at the mention of Charity.
"Yes, Charity Anderson. She's my twin...." Faith shifted, basically begging for her owl to come back.
"What are you doing in here, Apollo?"

"Twin. Interesting. Wouldn't have thought it." Apollo said and shrugged, "Faith. What a clever name you have. Do you believe in things without any proof?" Based on her description of love, he thought that must be the case, "Sounds...positively awful. I'm more of a man for stone cold proof and tangible evidence."
He pointed at his disappearing owl that was flying further and further out of view, "I was just sending a letter to my parents. I'd like to think that they were worried about me and my sister, Artemis. But, truth be told, they're most likely drinking themselves into a stupor as they try and pretend that they're valuable to the Dark Lord."

Faith managed to glare as she stood up and planted herself in front of him. "You mean do I believe that if I pray hard enough and push you out of this window that God will catch you? Goodness no. But I do believe in stupid things like love at first sight and all that junk. I don't believe love at first sight lasts but I do believe in it."
"I'm sure they do care about you. Every parent loves their child even just a bit. It's like a law..." Faith shrugged as she looked past Apollo and out the window. "Be happy you have parents to write to. Not many people do ever since the war started. "

Apollo stood up and pressed his back against the wall at her comment about pushing him. He would rather not fall to his death so early in his schooling career, "Fair enough then, Anderson. You make a valid point. Love is too good to last. Eventually, someones going to do something to screw it up. And then what? Both people involved are sh.it outta luck." He exhaled and then looked at her, "The world is a much better place when you don't worry about love."
"Lost yours then?" He mused about the war comment, "Charity didnt say anything about them either." Then again Charity didnt say much at all as I beat her up a couple of nights ago, He shook his head, trying to leave that memory behind. He knew what he had done was wrong, but for some reason, he couldn't stop himself.

Faith moistened her lips as she took his spot on the sill. "Thanks, Foale." She muttered as she crossed her legs. "You're right. Suddenly I'm quite hoping he says no. I mean, one night stands and drunk kisses sound a lot better than being faithful at the moment. So... maybe lust at first sight." She mused as she put her chin on her hands.
Faith parted her lips and sucked in a few breaths before she shrugged. "Charity doesn't know. We ... I figured it'd be best to let her continue on with the Dark Lord instead of... I honestly have no clue how Riddle would react. I mean, she's so up and down lately."

Apollo leaned down so that their faces were only a few inches apart, "If it's drunk kisses and lust at first sight that you're after, I know that my sister keeps a bottle of fire whiskey in her drawer at all times." He said with a wink and then backed up to sit on one of the benches in the middle of the Owlery, "Then again, your owl could come back at any moment with a letter from your precious beloved."
He tapped his foot against the ground, "Were you close with your parents then?" He asked. He raised his eyebrows, "What's Charity's deal anyway? Seems very...connected to the Dark Lord." He mused aloud.

Faith smiled and shook her head. "No need. There's Fire Whiskey in my bag right now. I'm just too lazy to get it. I'm actually quite tempted to send another owl saying it was a joke. " Faith laughed lazily and she leaned against the side of the window.
"Connected, ehh? Bonded is another word for it. Didn't she tell you? Charity and the Dark Lord are married and have a child. How did you not know that?" Faith laughed humorlessly as she shook her head. "Man you're behind for a Slytherin."

Apollo opened his mouth for a counter-attack, but seeing as he had none, he closed it. He hadn't even considered the fact that Charity might be closer to the Dark Lord then he had originally anticipated. He had been rather behind as of late. He was more caught up in what Serene/Artemis had planned, "I guess you could say that I've been slacking. I'm not exactly in the Dark Lord's inner circle. Not everyone is, you know." He said matter-of-factly and shrugged his shoulders, "That's gotta be one messed up child...I can just see it now....Red haired with no nose....terrifying." He mock-shivered and then smirked.
He grabbed Faith's bag and dug around in it until he pulled out the whiskey, "Ah." He opened in and took a deep swig, "I hope you don't mind. I figured that it was an open invitation." He winked and then offered the bottle to her.
