The calm before the storm [Katarina]

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect

EVERY ACTION IN THIS WORLD WILL BARE A CONSEQUENCE

Noah found himself pacing back and fourth on the covered bridge. This was the evening his father had trained him for his whole life. Noah knew the risks of agreeing to this, but he much rather do this then to have his father be disappointed in him. Noah's whole life he was trying to seek that approval, it hurt his ego to think all he worked for could vanish. Noah wasn't like his siblings he was naturally numb to emotions and doing the 'right' thing. It wasn't like he didn't have feelings because somewhere in his empty shell of a man, he did. It just seemed so important to impress his family. Noah knew his family was part of the group that killed Harry Potter, the conspiring often took place in his own manor. Noah had been young when he first was trained to duel. He suffered for many nights at the hand of his father, but when Davin was placed in Ravenclaw he vowed he'd be his father's number one son. There was nothing like that well needed action of making Rabastan Lestrange a proud father. Noah stood on the covered bridge watching the ran fall. Storms made him very uneasy after his quidditch accident a year back. Noah remembered that lightning and it was suppose to happen on this important date. The trauma from the accident made it hard to focus on the goal.

The game plan, Noah was suppose to cause discomfort in the school. To cause a death of a muggle born child. Why was it always the filthy mud bloods that caused an uproar in the wizarding world? It was like they got more attention or something because of what they were born. Noah would wait til after dinner, he knew the target's schedule. Noah tried to calm his mind and get into his emotionless state but it wasn't easy. To preform the death curse was unforgivable, and he had never done this before. It would have been much better if he got to kidnap the child and give her away. No, Noah had the hardest job of all. It wasn't easy being the son of a death eater, it was far too complex sometimes. Noah often felt like he was forced to grow up too fast. Where were those frail childhood moments? They had gone into making him this shell of a person. Noah would never complain about his life now a days, but he still wondered what it felt like to have parents that wanted to 'play' with their children. Suffering the cruatious curse was hardly playing. Noah sighed and stared off blankly into the distance where lightening lit up the sky.

The sound of thunder caused him to become irritable. Storms were always a reminder that he couldn't do the one thing that he enjoyed. Noah was very selfish, but he had sacrificed a lot for his father. Giving up on his own dreams of playing quidditch to follow in suit, of the man that he worked so hard to please. Things were complicated in life because of storms. The little bit of emotion he did have, was the excitement and pleasure he got from quidditch. Noah could remember it like it was yesterday. The boy had been flying high, scoring the winning shot, then distracted by the lightening the bludger ended his career. It could have been worst he guessed, it could have knocked out his memory. Noah was getting off track, he reminded himself of the muggle girl. What a night this would be. Noah heard a set of foot steps and he frowned to see Katarina Vane. Why did that women always show up when he was in the midst of pure insidious mischief? She'd try to talk him down from it if she knew so he chose to just play it off as if nothing at all was on his mind. When she was close enough he smirked to himself. "Kitty Kat, long time no see." Noah stated calmly. She knew his disposition and the way he felt about storms, so he wondered if she came looking for him. He normally calm to the bridge to watch. "Did you come looking for me? What can I owe the pleasure of this encounter to?" Noah asked wondering her motives.

Kat sighed softly to herself as she read through her book. She had just gotten to the part where the prince and the peasant girl fall in love. it was one of those sappy romance novels about a handsome prince who has to go into disguise to avoid being captured by his uncle's guards – his uncle wants to overthrow him so he can become king – and meets a beautiful peasant girl that helps him without knowing he is the prince of her lands and the one who has imprisoned her father because he couldn't pay the ridiculously high taxes. It wasn't really the prince though, which is why Kat still likes the character, but she doesn't know that. It was his mean uncle that was doing it, but it was being done right under the prince's nose. Stupid uncle. Stupid prince too, if you think about it.

Kat personally has never been into romance or falling in love. As far as she was concerned, there would be plenty of time for that later on in life, after she was done with school and done being a teenager. Right now, all she cared for were her studies and becoming a professor herself one day. The rest, she felt, could wait. Besides, it wasn't as if the person she had feelings for in more than a platonic way felt the same way about her. He didn't show emotions at all, to anyone. He was usually cold and emotionless, though he did sometimes show that he could act like a normal guy when he was around her. She wasn't holding her breath though, even if she knew that they would one day be married. She only hoped it would work itself out by then.

A soft rumble caused her to look up from her book at the sky and she saw dark clouds rolling in. she closed her book, one of her fingers still holding her page, and kept her eyes skyward. It was going to rain soon, which made Kat mentally tell herself that she would have to get inside soon, but she knew she had somewhere else to go first. She took her bookmark and placed it in between the pages where she had stopped reading and then closed her book. She rose from her seated position on one of the stone benches in the courtyard and began to make her way to the covered bridge where she knew he would be. That's where he usually was when there was an impending storm so she didn't see why today would be any different.

Sure enough, as she neared the lone figure standing on the bridge, she saw that it was him and she smiled to herself. He must have known it was her too because he didn't react to her presence until she was close enough to hear him speak. "It hasn't been that long, has it?" she asked him with a smirk as she approached him. "I did actually," she told him when he asked if she had come looking for him. He asked what he owed for the pleasure of her company and she smiled at him, shaking her head slightly as she did so. "I was just coming to see if you were okay," she said before breaking eye contact with him and looking up at the sky. "It looks like it's going to be a bad one," she said before returning her gaze to him. "Is that why you're out here?" she asked curiously.
