Harder than it looks (Open)

Adeline Claire Giovanni was minding her own as usual. Orangish blonde hair tied back in a low ponytail, she didn't really have anything left to do today, so instead of staying cooped up in the castle, the black lake sounded like the most amazing thing in the world. The silence of the world was something she always fancied and it was off in the distance so not one person could hear her play. Violin clutched within her fingers, the girl looked up at the sky. Her father made an appearance during Family Weekend and that made her entire year. Sadly during winter break she would be off to Italy with the Mortelle's and what ever crazy shenanigans they would be throwing. As usual.

Adjusting the hem of her knee length dress, which was indeed blue, Adeline noticed movement out of the corner of her eye. Her shoes getting slightly muddied from the tromp down the lawn toward the lake and a smile spread across her lips. 'Bollocks!' it echoed just enough for her to take even more notice and that was finally where she decided to go. Follow the voice, if all else fails and no one was actually there it would be welcomed. If someone was there, that would be welcomed as well. Peeking around the tree, Adeline, in all her glory, stood over the boy who shared the same house and year with herself.

She wasn't exactly the popular type in the slightest, but she did hold a seat on the Quidditch team as a beater, her and Grayson Baxter could destroy, but that was more or less because they worked in proper tandem with each other. When it came to studies, Adeline believed that she could out educate and study everyone in the school, including those in her own house. "Oh! Benji, you look a little frustrated." Leaning over the boy a little, the girl found herself crouching before him with a slight smile. It was disgusting how she found pleasure when people couldn't perform or even achieve what she thought as a simple spell. Perhaps it was the fact she was from a very wealthy English family, where her mother and father were both exemplary aurors.

Strumming her fingers on her crossed arm. Adeline waited and observed the reactions of those around her. Carovski was just pushing her enough to make her lash out. Adeline Claire was hot-tempered as everyone seemed to know, and it was not a great thing to be on that side. Be you a Slytherin or even a fellow Ravenclaw. Noticing that Eileen became much more reserved and Benji seemed to take a step up. There was no doubt something happened to be going on between the two, but Adeline wasn't going to take shit from anyone.

Gripping her wand even tighter Addie turned and with a bright and snarky smile she took a step toward Stasja. "If I'm not mistaken, snakes have fallen pray to the raven, so I would say you are a victim among predators. Weigh your options carefully." Tapping her toe on the ground behind her, the patience of a Giovanni was almost terrifying, but the wrath was even worse.

Once Benji had a small outburst Adeline grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back. "She's not worth your anger." Speaking under her breath as reddish blonde hair swirled around her shoulders, Adeline stepped in front of Benji and Eileen. "Why don't you go back to your kind and leave us be, unless you'd rather be on the receiving end of my own wand." Snapping her fingers against the fabric of her pea-coat, Adeline was prepared for the worst and she wasn't about to let one Slytherin get away with intimidation. It was a skill her father had bestowed upon her, but if all else failed she would bring it to a fist fight.

Being a beater had its perks, but the long summers at the Giovanni Estate with her father and butler were spent training in a more physical manner. As she recalled, Adeline did happen to break one of Integra Echoes' ribs in the last dispute, granted she was bound and dropped to the mud, she did make a mark and the respect factor increased tenfold. Addie would demand that same respect from this Slytherin girl even if it did mean ruining another dress.
