"I'm going to head back to the dorms, I have an early class tomorrow" Steven said to which Aria nodded waving a goodbye to him. She should head back soon too, sure she didn't have any classes until midnight tomorrow but she needed to do some extra studying since she hasn't been for a few days. Although the last few days had been pretty hectic, first acquiring the help of Michael, breaking curfew, being late to class, meeting Steven. Aria just wasn't used to having so many things happen to her at once, but she almost liked the fact that her life was starting to change, instead of just going through the motions of everyday. Finally deciding it was time to head back Aria stood up, stretching her arms above her head for a second before walking out of the dining hall. As Aria walked towards the Slytherin dorms she heard some noises, causing Aria to frown and stop in her tracks.<span style="font-style: italic">No Aria people always get killed when they go towards mysterious noises, haven't you ever heard of 'curiousity killed the cat?'</span>Aria's logical part was practically screaming at her to just go back to the Slytherin common room.<br/>​​​​​​​<br/>But for the first time in a long time Aria ignored the logical part of her brain, she walked towards the noises but just as she was about to turn the corner the noises stopped and it was completely silent. Confused she turned the corner anyway and gasped at the sight, it was Michael but not as she had seen him briefly in the dining hall, no. He was beaten and bruised, unconscious. He looked like she did most of the time after taking a beaten from some people from Slytherin. "Nurse!" Aria yelled as loud as she could, she wanted to run and find someone but she didn't want to leave him here and she wasn't strong enough to carry him either. "Help!" Aria yelled again and this time she heard running footsteps. It was the nurse and Dumbledore, they looked at the scene for a moment before the nurse took Michael and started toward the hospital wing. Dumbledore stayed back and looked at Aria curiously "What happened?"<br/><br/>After Aria had explained to Dumbledore that she didn't she had just heard noises he had nodded and told her that Michael would be fine and that she should go back to her dorm. But she couldn't she felt horrible even though she hadn't done anything what if this was her fault. What if this happened because people had seen him talking to her. So Aria ran towards the Gryffindor dorm, hoping she could catch someone that knew him, or at least knew his friends and brothers. She ran down the halls and finally saw a familiar dark brown haired boy "Potter!" she exclaimed running towards him when his head snapped in her direction. "Who are y-" Harry started but Aria cut him off "Not important, Crowley's hurt and I don't know who to tell, can you tell his brothers and his friends for me please?" Aria asked breathlessly and Harry nodded. "Sure bu-" Aria cut him off again not really wanting to stick around, not that she didn't like Potter she just didn't want him to get hurt too. "Thanks kid" Aria said with a smile before she made her way back to the Slytherin dorms, of course she wanted to visit Michael and make sure he was alright but she wasn't even that close to him, it would probably be awkward.
