They were relaxing and generally went smoothly with little drama. But then he heard a loud, recognizably high-pitched and annoying voice not far from him, saying something quite... daring and provocative. The culprit was Alyssa Nott, who he didn't know well, but knew of her and witches like her. He let out a long sigh, observing the scene, for the first time noticing the young lad she was angry at, probably a clueless first year.<br/><br/><em>The only filthy one is you covered in butterbeer you pure-blood supremacist slag,</em>Jay thought, staring at Alyssa with contempt. What followed only made him burst out laughing. He couldn't help it, even though he knew Alyssa was a Slytherin Prefect and all that. Karma did seem to exist after all, what a night this turned out to be. She was now wet and disgusting after falling into the lake because of the lad. The fiery look in her eyes made Jay stop laughing right away though, especially when she took out her wand and pointed it at the lad.<br/><br/>Before he could do anything, a witch he didn't know stepped in, probably a first year too, maybe a friend of the lad. Valerie had taken out her wand and looked ready to fight.<em>What is this? Duel club?</em>Jay wondered, grinning. A big Slytherin lad named Lyre then stepped in, trying to calm Alyssa down, drying her robe with a quick spell, before telling the kids to bugger off.<em>What a bell-end,</em>Jay thought, looking at the 6'2" student with an unimpressed look on his face.<br/><br/>He quickly glanced behind the Slytherins at Fergus, not actually knowing who he was, but still tried to remember his name. "You alright, huh, Curly?" he asked him, but didn't wait for a response before turning towards Valerie and pleading her with an intense look to stand down. "You got a death wish, mate?" he muttered between his teeth, after Valerie went on a tedious moralizing tirade towards Alyssa. He then faced Alyssa and Lyre again, expecting a hex coming his way at any moment.<em>Will I die and be known as "Jaywant the first years protector, first of his name"?</em>he wondered, offering them his brightest smile.<br/><br/>"How about everyone relaxes, yeah? You two stay here playing '<acronym title='Wordplay on the game snakes and ladders; Laddie means a small lad/guy referring to the 1st years; Snakes are Slytherins"'>snakes and laddies</acronym>' with some other unfortunate souls while these two," he started, then moving his chin to refer to Valerie and Fergus, "will come follow me to the other side and won't be in your way anymore? Wow, it's almost like, I'm a genius, right? Bloody hell, ha, who would've thought?"<br/><br/>He had a quick dry self-mocking laugh, before grinning and pivoting 180 degrees on his heels. He then slowly started walking towards Valerie and Fergus, hoping they'd just follow him without making this more complicated than it already was.
