Halloween Haunted Castle Event! Open to Everyone!
While she wasn't particularly keen on parties, she was set on saving wildlife. Everyone else seemed to rake in the galleons by throwing large events, no matter the scandals that erupted from them, so why couldn't they? Nora had conservatory's committee for quite some time now, and being the youngest by a good forty years, had devised this plan as a new and fresh way of funding. It helped greatly that she had friends that had access to some of the best party planners (or that she could twist Charlie Spinnet's ear until he helped her out), and things seemed to have turned out well. So far.

For the brave at heart, there was a grand maze that made its way throughout the haunted castle. Guests would be offered clues to get themselves to the ballroom, and if they were truly lost (as Nora was sure was to occur), for just a small donation (it's for charity), any money dropped into a clue box would light up a blue path down the correct route to lead the way out. With all the Gryffindors that Nora had put on the guest list, she was sure they were going to triple their goal.

There was a simpler route than the maze, which was simply to walk through the double doors to the dance floor. Nora was currently wavering between the two, having run out of pamphlets to give out at the front entrance therefore giving her no excuse to join the festivities. She felt rather exposed, as Delilah had stolen her cloak, and when someone tapped her shoulder she jumped nearly a foot in the air.

"Bloody hell!" she let out, spinning around. "You scared the life out of me!"

Seth had to admit that he was pleased to hear Larkin following after him stuttering out her excuses and tripping over her words as she confirmed that he was right on so many counts. It wasn't until she started attacking him that he stopped an turned, a line being crossed.

"Me of all people," he repeated incredulously. "You're not talking to me of all people about this. And what the hell is that suppose to mean." He spat, his temper at the whole situation reaching a tipping point. Did their friendship mean nothing. Obviously not as she went on to degrade his profession on top of everything else.

"Oh excuse me, I was unaware retrieving gold was such a noble life changing pursuit. Does your high and mighty profession prevent you from writing letters? Do you use all of your good judgement in your work that you have none left to apply to your personal life?" Seth seethed unable to hold back. It wasn't as if Larkin didn't know. She had to know that Michal had been practically in love with her since their days at Hogwarts.

"He loves you, Larkin. He has for years and you go and do this? Does he even know you're back in the country?" He shook his head so disappointed in everything. "Maybe you should have left me in the Turkish Prison. Then again, maybe Michal should have left you in Jordan." He bit out the words before he could stop himself. After everything Michal had done for the witch standing in front of him, and this is what he gets in repayment.

"Yes you of all people!" she snapped, her hands retracting to her sides. Not wanting to ball them into fists, Larkin quickly crossed her arms over her shoulders. What exactly was Seth thinking? Had he forgotten their numerous broom closet rendezvous all those years ago?

"It means I'm not sure I feel like talking about my most recent sexcapade with a former one!" Her face had turned hot, not out of embarrassment, but out of anger. It really wasn't--- everything she uttered, every move she made here, it would make it back to Michal, wouldn't it?

"And of course you're bloody best friends, not like that makes anything awkward at all!" Best bloody mates, practically attached at the hip for how many years now? A cool wind rustled up behind her, and Larkin then remembered where she was; in some halloween-themed maze with who knew what lurking at every corner and here she was, being forced to talk about something she had properly avoided for many months. What had she been thinking coming home? Acting as if nothing had happened?

Larkin dug her face into her hands as Seth revved up, seething on and on about her poor judgement and mistakes. She found it quite absurd that Seth though Michal was capable of loving anything that lived and breathed, and frankly hypocritical that he thought he had the right to be nosing his way into a delicate extraction situation. Apparently it hadn't occurred to Seth Wadcock that perhaps Larkin was ignoring Michal in an effort to not give him false hope, to at least help in the smallest of ways to-- Seth's final words shot Larkin out of her own thoughts, and quickly she jumped to react.

"He should have!" Larkin let out suddenly, her hands falling from her face to look at Seth fiercely. "He had no right doing what he did! I was perfectly happy in Jordan, certainly didn't need him mucking everything up with his ridiculous feelings for m---" She caught herself, eyes widening slightly. No, she couldn't admit to Seth that she recognized Michal's affection for her, that would tear apart so much more that had already been torn---

Pulling out her wand, Larkin sprung to close the distance between the two of them. "Don't you mention a word of me to him, Seth." She pressed her wand dangerously close enough in a way that could very well be perceived as a threatening matter. "It's better if he doesn't, to help him get over.... do you understand me!"
