Melodies and Cerebrus

[Ranyr Crenova]

[[ O-o; It matters what he's playing? ]]

Ranyr only vaguely recognized the song, and sat down beside Gyan, slightly relaxed herself by the music.

[[Hmm... I don't have anything else to say. Sorry.]]

[Gyan Salamanece]

"Allright, can you hold this tune? I need to go collect the claw" He said, still playing.

[Ranyr Crenova]

Ranyr cocked her head to the side thoughtfully. She wasn't exactly the best musician though she knew the basics of a good majority of instruments, she still lacked that intuitive rhythmic strength. Staring blankly for a moment of indescision, she finally drew out her wand and pointed it purposefully at the guitar.

"Canzone del gioco," her voice announced with pure clarity despite the loud music surrounding them. Gyan could stop whenever he wanted to now, ... it should play by itself. Of course, she'd have to hold it still and play whenever she could; her spell wasn't exactly perfected and learned through her own free-time. Therefore, she wasn't exactly 'passionate' when teaching herself, nor ever actually preformed it. Thankfully she'd heard this song before and knew the tabs.

Ranyr smiled, nodding to Gyan.

"You're going to go get it now?" she asked, in affirmation of his statement. Her voice had lowered since the musical volume had decreased. Her own charm, it seemed, had lessened the power of Gyan's. "Good luck," she mouthed, though her expression indicated that she wasn't too sure he'd be successful. She had however, collected a few spells that could assist them in escaping the beast if need be.

[[Haha, okay. =3 oh, that's Italian. Couldn't find a latin translator. Oo; Nor did I wish to make something up.]]

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan nodded, and slowly crept up on the sleeping beast. He gently held the tip of one claw, which was about a foot and a half long, and severed it clean off with a muttered "Sectumsempra". The claw fell into his hand and he grinned. "Gotcha" he said to himself. He soon wished he diddn't, for a loud snarl came from the mouth of the cerebrus, resting on it's trimmed paw.

[Xander]

Ranyr held her breath.

"It must've felt it," she muttered, quivering slightly. Due to her distraction, the guitar skipped a few notes and started becoming a little off-key. Startled by the change in music, Ranyr hastily tried to play the guitar, grasping at it with frantic fingers but failed as she struck them unintentionally, dropping it as a loud chord interrupted the once playing song and yelping as it hit the floor.

Standing now, the Ravenclaw looked about for a second before picking up the instrument and holding it to Gyan, hoping to exchange it for the claw before the creature did anything else besides snarl.

EDIT: Sorry, wrong account. xP Still me!

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan reached out to take the instrument, his heart blazing in his chest. Once his hand grasped the neck, the beasts wide eyes opened, and stared directly at them. It lifted it's head and began to lift it's body.

"Get out of here, but don't do anything sudden.," Gyan said calmly, holding his wand out. "I'll hold it off untill your gone. Then I'll fly away!" he shouted, readeying his wand. His Seeker reflexes were about to kick in, and he was ready for anything.

[Xander]

[[still don't feel like logging out...]]

Ranyr stared absentmindedly for a moment at the large beast, watching it shuffle itself into a more threatening position [ie: standing up] before consciousness finally kicked in. Her mouth that had been left slack closed tight as she slowly shifted herself off the floor, walking towards the trap door backwards so she might still face the creature with a wary but solid expression.

"You can't possibly 'hold it off' by yourself entirely," she hissed whilst still making her way backwards, yet the RavenClaw did nothing to assist him for the time being. He was, after all, a convenient animagus unlike herself.

She withdrew her wand just in case, though it was held more in defense of her own person than anything else.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan laughed and readied his wand. "Watch me!"

"Relashio!" He barked, sending sparks into the first head's eyes. It snapped, and bit for him, but he rolled out of the way. "Sectumsempra!" He shouted, and the right head's eye split open. The creature roared and began to trample around.

"Ranyr, go!" Gyan shouted back.

[Ranyr Crenova]

Ranyr dropped her wand as blood splattered in droplets on her arm from the force of the spell. Unable to speak she simply gasped a sharp intake of air, closing her mouth to refrain from it forming into a surprised shriek. The blood wasn't a large amount, but any at all was rather disturbing to Ranyr who would rather have left clean and unharmed.

She inclined her head from it's aghast position and looked to Gyan with a bit of a glare.

"They're going to notice, now!" she retorted, "Are you going to fix that or just let someone wander down and see a large mutt's eye randomly missing?"

Her voice was harsher and louder than before, knowing that eeping herself quiet wouldn't do anything.

Not receiving any immediate reaction or reply, Ranyr huffed to herself, exasperated, and picked up her wand in a swift motion before turning to walk back out, as he had intructed. If he was going to get himself dead or in massive trouble, neither of which Ranyr was fond of, she was certainly not going to be joining him.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan rolled around, casting random spells, distracting the creature. "Noone is going to care about an injured beast. They'll probably think Peeves let it in or something."

He started to fire off stunning spells.

" Plus, It'd've noticed us anyway, even without it's eyes. It has 3 noses!"

He ran and threw the claw towards Ranyr and transformed, leaving the blinded, and enraged animal to trample around, knocking into walls.

[Ranyr Crenova]

"I doubt it, but if you say so. I don't quite think there is another option anyway." Ranyr looked at him, brow lifted and arms across her chest. She felt no need to run away, and felt he had it rather under control. Her panic had left, though it was clear she was still wary of stepping any closer than she already was.

"It already had noticed us, I thought," she added to herself as she caught the claw, turning around, away from the beast, and sprinted out into the passage before it could scent her position.

[Gyan Salamanece]

After a long series of crippling spells to the eyes, nose, and other sensetive areas, the beast backed off with a wimper, handicapped, and just wanted to cower in the shadows.

Gyan flipped his hair out of his eyes and sprinted after Ranyr, a large grin on his face.

[Ranyr Crenova]

Ranyr rested against the wall outside the passageway, the claw held against her chest and a grin across her face as Gyan met up with her.

She looked at him briefly, exasperated but for once... the enthusiasm the event had brought her was rather new for cold Ranyr. She couldn't quite say she enjoyed it, not exactly being the risk taker Gyan was, but it was entertaining, as she had assumed it would be, at the very least.

Exhaling, she said, "So, what exactly is this for again?" and outstretched her hand, holding out the claw so he might take what he came for.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan took the claw and carefully put it in a leather pouch in his pocket. "Cerebrus claw is a really handy potion ingrediant, both solid and powdered. I havent quite found a specific use for it other than nullifying poison" He said a little guiltilly.

"But hey, at least it was an interesting night, eh?" He said with a grin, his steel eyes glistening.

[Ranyr Crenova]

Ranyr let out a fake laugh. "If nearly getting eaten by an oversized mutt with too many heads is interesting then yes; that was interesting." She sighed. "All that trouble and you don't even have to use it for anything."

Her fingers started to play with the edge of her clothing in a bored manner. The excitement had dulled extremely in comparison to the adreniline-rush she had just experienced.

"Soooo what do you want to do now?" She didn't quite feel like returning to bed.
