Visiting Dumbledore [Dumbledore && Yuliya] « Thread Started on Aug 29, 2007, 6:40pm »
Snape had about had enough of this girl by now. How could Dumbledore not have the girl expelled, she was the most annoying student ever. He led the way, sweeping down corridors until he reached Dumbledore's office. He announced the password and the stone gargoyle sprang to life and leapt aside. Snape and Yuliya stepped onto the revolving staircase and Snape knocked twice on Dumbledore's door, waiting to be allowed entrance.

Dumbledore was leaning over some papers spread around his des, but as a knock on the door greeted his ears he peeked up, still leaning over the desk with a quill in his hand avidly writing away. He didn't really mind the forms and such, they were part of everyday life but being interrupted sometimes bothered him. However, today he welcomed intrusion. Today he wanted a break, not that he would ever let on about that.
"You may enter," he said, flicking his wand toward the door in order to open it slightly. He stretched his hands slightly and leaned back into his chair, resting his back for a moment or so.

The door swung open and Snape stepped inside, sweeping over to stand in front of the Headmaster's desk. "Headmaster," Began Snape, trying to keep his voice level and free of anger. "This girl," He pointed behind him at Yuliya, "Has been dueling in the grounds, trying to use the bat bogey hex on another student." He explained, keeping eye contact with Dumbledore at all times.
"I intervened and asked her to lower her wand, but she did not obey orders. She has been rude, back chatting all the time." He spat, unable to keep his voice calm anymore. "She has tested my Patience. She will not have a civilized conversation with me without being cheeky. Ever. I've had enough." He said finally, his hands clenched into fists as he glared at the headmaster.

"Hee hee hee, you're funny," was Yuliya could say. She balnced her weight on one foot and crossed the other one over, which was how she usually stood. Her hands lay boredly at her side and her eyes traveled the room slightly, going from one odd intrument to the next. Everything about her showed relaxation and bordom. She yawned slightly and inconsciously stroked Streak, who still sat upon her shoulder. Streak, howeverm was extremely tense, glaring at Snape with his falcon glare.

Dumbledore resisted the urge to rub his temples, today he felt particularly tense for reasons he could not explain. But he calmly listened to Severus as his eyes bounced from Snape to Yuliya.
"Now Professor, I agree with you. That must be particularly stressful for you, but I'm sure this can be dealt with reasonably." Dumbledore watched him carefully, taking in his stature and attempting to judge the situation fairly. Quickly, though, he flicked his blue eyes to Yuliya.
"Yuliya, I believe that it is your turn to explain the situation to me?" Dumbledore was amused by the girl, her careless nature was something that he didn't often encounter among his students, let alone the Ravenclaws. But he had met something similar in the Weasley twins, who had managed to stress out a fair few teachers in their time at the school. But although he had to suppress a smile at the girl's very nature, he had a job to do. And if Professor Snape was bothered by the girl and she had in fact been rude to a figure of authority around the school, something would indeed have to be done.

"Well, first my mother decided to marry my father, and then nine months later they has me. Being a Cossack, as a baby, I was very cherished. from the day I was born I have worn this horsehair bracelat, made from the horse-manes of my grandmother's horse, on my mother's side. I lived rather happily. But when I was three, our camp was raided, and many of our horses were stolen, including the mare that was meant to be mine..." Yuliya went to explain her life story, explaning every meger detail, leaving out the bit about becoming a Screamer.
"And then, just a little while ago, I decided to take a walk outside. Then this one guy named Jaxon decided to come and insult animal, so I got angry. Then he cursed me so I tackled him, but then he cursed me again so I cursed him, and it went on like that for awhile and then Snape came and said to me to stop cursing him otherwise I would lose points unless I stopped and I said I wouldn't stop because I didn't care about points and I also said that he knew perfectly well that Jaxon attacked me first and that he was biased and that Slytherin's points would be in the negatives if it wasn't for him and then he called me a brat and said we were coming here and then I said it takes on to know one and then I became the moon and he became Uranus and the Almighty Decider said to revolve around Uranus so I revolved around him," Yuliya finished.

Dumbledore allowed a small smile to dance across his face, while he patiently and kindly listened to Yuliya speak. It was better than filling in forms all day, and he always did like to hear a good life story every now and then. While he listened to her speak, he found himself vaguely interested, his interest peaking at the mention of the Cossacks. He knew very little about them, but that didn't mean he couldn't feel interested and that he couldn't listen.
As her story progressed, he would turn and look to Severus every now and then, just to see if he was calming himself or not. He did seem haggard to Dumbledore, and quite stressed. But he knew that Snape had a tendency to get himself worked up.
When Yuliya finished, Dumbledore nodded, even though he was confused by Yuliya's last few words about the planets.. He didn't like to judge, but he had a feeling that what Yuliya had said about the Slytherin points was correct, but Dumbledore had no proof and he didn't want to drag the Slytherin boy up to his office.
"Well, professor," he said, turning to Snape, "what should we do about this terrible mishap?" Dumbledore's smile reached his eyes, and he patiently awaited Severus' reply, though Dumbledore himself was already deciding on what to do.
Fists still clenched he waited and listened. He found it very hard not to interrupt Yuliya when she was speaking. She was a strange child and he couldn't help sneering at times. However he kept quiet and waited until Dumbledore allowed him to speak.
"I think," Snape spoke instantly, allowing not time to be interrupted himself. "That she should lose certain privileges, taken off the Ravenclaw quidditch team for example. Suspension from the school could also be a possibility as detentions seem to be having no effect on her." He snarled.
Dumbledore considered Snape for a moment. If detention's really had no effect on her, then something else would have to be executed, Dumbledore knew that. He didn't like punishing the students, he always had a certain sort of fondness for each one.
"I don't know about being taken right off the Quidditch team. I'm thinking a suspension would be fine." Dumbledore paused. He was certain Snape expected more, but Dumbledore was unfamiliar with the girl's record. But suddenly, he had an idea. He knew the girl had a falcon, and he suspected that she was close to it.
"And I believe that she should be allowed no extra visits to the owlery for one week." Dumbledore did rub his temples this time. The story had actually worn him out. "What do you think about that, Professor?"
"If you take away my falcon, then I leave this school to never return," said Yuliya sharply, retrieving her liking for the headmaster. "And, do you really think Streak lives in the owlery? As if!" She said, stroking Streak with a rough fondness. Yuliya started backing up to the door, heavily breathing, eyes wide. A flash errupted her mind, galloping.
Not now, anytime but now...they'll take Streak while it happens...
She slammed herself against the door, and then came another flash that lasted longer. Burning, trapped...Yuliya screamed as her vision of the real world escaped her. Her arms shot out as her body became blind and deaf. She sniffed desperateley for Streak or Okozir or someone she could trust. But the memory took hold of her...
Dumbledore looked at Yuliya closely, ignoring her first statement.
"Yuliya, you are speaking to the headmaster. I require a certain amount of respect from my students," he nodded, "and when I agreed to allow Streak into the school, part of the deal was that he stay in the owlery with the other birds. We do have a few other hawks or so flying around here. I made exceptions for a select few of you for my own reasons, other students do not get such privilieges."
Dumbledore was angry, and his voice was deepening and raising in volume very slowly. But when the girl began to have what he saw as a fit, he stopped mid-way in standing up, and sat back down.
"Severus," he looked at the professor, "do you have a potion for this?" He inquired calmly and smoothly, like he often did in times of stress and crisis.
Yuliya screamed again while Streak in the real world heartily defended her against the two teachers, glaring at them with his black eyes. Yuliya curled up right by the door, slamming herself into it.
"Yuliya!" The flaming arrow shot Arrow. She hid her face in his black mane as the mighty stallion tripped, fell, landing on top of her. She was crushed by the burning body of her closest companion, who was dying quickly.
"I can't lift him! I have to get help!"
"Don't leave me!" she screamed. "Stop, it hurts...can't move...blood...BLOOD! Fire..." Yuliya writhed like a snake, tears pouring from her green-grey eyes.
"You see." Snape said triumphantly watching Yuliya with dislike. "Insolent, with no respect whatsoever." He spat. But next moment the girl had become very strange. He watched with interest at first it was almost like she had become cursed.
His eyes narrowed but not because he was angry, because he was slightly scared by what was happening, he glanced at Dumbledore who spoke. "Yes." Snape answered tersely and pulled a tiny bottle from inside his robes bent over the girl and tipped a few drops into her open, screaming mouth. Eyes still narrowed but now with concentration he pulled out his wand and muttered an incantation, waving his wand over Yuliya.
"Stop! Trapped...come back..." Yuliya screamed once more and scuttled away from the teacher, whose scent she noe recgonized. Streak flew up and made to bite the proffessor if he moved closer towards her, making moves that obviously meant, "Don't go near her!" Streak looked around in desperation for someone that would help, someone that could help, some that would understand, but the two professors showed none of those qualities. There was only one way that Yuliya could truly be taken away from the memory, and Streak couldn't do that. Streak could only forcibly remove her from it for awhile.
