He felt horrible, why the hell did he go and ruin the dance, especially before he was getting everything together to take over the school. Groaning Rab rolled out of his bed, he needed to talk to Integra, he needed to make things right with her. Pulling on a green t-shirt he shook his head, why did he think this way? Why did he think that that was the right way to act, it clearly was not.
Making way down to the common room, he was lucky that it was a hogsmeade weekend, everyone would be going, well the majority. Coming down the stairs he looked over the railing and saw Integra standing in the back corner of the room. "Hey, Echoes!" He called out to her, "I need to talk with you, it's important." It was important, very important. There was no way this little thing Rabastan's Regiment would work if he was down one of the people he really needed. "Please." It was a word that barely came from his mouth, ever, so it must've been sincere.
Finishing the rest of the staircase he looked over at her. "Come on, seriously."

She had all intentions of simply ignoring him as she pulled the sweater around her shoulders. That was until it left his lips. "Please" God damn it. She turned around and he was standing level with her now as he'd come from the stairs. Taking a deep breath she clenched her teeth before slapping him hard across the face. "You're lucky the slap is all you get and not a hex." Licking her lips she looked away then looked back.
"Make it quick Lestrange. I haven't got time to be insulted, attacked, or disrespected in general. In a sense.. I simply don't have time for you." Folding her arms she made a note of where her wand was and felt a chill wash over her as she stared into slightly glassy eyes.

The hand came fast and he stayed where he was hair over his face and the shame and guilt all over. Horrible was an easy word that grabbed onto him and he took in a sharp breath the supress his anger toward her. He didn't need to make a bigger scene. Rab knew that there were others watching the fight unfold in the common room. He hated it when eyes were upon him. The cheek where her hand connected burned hot and he could feel it radiating off the heat. "Mean....but understandable." He whispered more to himself but knew that she had heard him.
Standing up a bit more straight he fixed his long hair and looked at her. "I wanted to say I was sorry for being a complete irrational twit toward you, you didn't deserve what I delivered." He wasn't lying, he didn't even raise his cold hand to cool the burning sensation on his face. "I'm sorry for being an ass." It was about all he could say, he really didn't mean what he did. "I think I just lost my cool, not being in complete control of the situation, I don't like what happened at the dance, and I feel that it's only going to get progressively worse, but I need you. How else am I supposed to pick this school up and prepared?"

With a sigh she looked at him. He was talking a lot for being in public. With a quick flick of her wand she muffled both of them out. He was divulging more than she wanted him to. "Listen, You lost a lot of respect from me that night. Because believe it or not, I had a lot of it for you. You could be a really amazing leader for us but if you keep fucking things up... No one is going to want to follow you. And besides you behaving like a facsimile of a leader..." She took a breath the rest of it was going to be a little more personal and Integra never felt comfortable getting all personal and such. "You were a terrible date. I was nice, I looked presentable, and I didn't drink. I did everything EVERYTHING you wanted me to do. I changed my entire persona... And for what? To still be insulted and shoved around."
Shaking her head Integra looked away and blinked a few times before turning back to him. "You might need me Rabastan but its pretty apparent that you don't want me. So don't worry, I won't be bothering you anymore. I can take a hint even if the giver is truly insane. And people call me mad..." She swallowed a little and stared coolly at him with a level face.

He stared at her, waiting until she was done ripping him a new one. Rabastan didn't know how to handle this situation. Trying to think of what he should say to her next, he could fuck everything up and go from this to something else in a matter of minutes. "Listen, I'm pissed off about it as much as you are. I have no FUCKING clue what the hell had gotten into me last night. If you've lost respect for me, fine that's cool, if you don't believe that I need you, that's cool too, because you will be missing out on a hell of a lot, and I mean a shitload of a lot. Do you understand what I'm saying? No because you don't have the pressures of your older brother weighing heavy on your shoulders, and you aren't looked upon like I am. You never will be!" He was becoming fed up with her, he couldn't stand to be around her without freaking out. "Do you get that Echoes?" His voice was sharp and quickly to the point.
"My entire family is at the beck and call of Voldemort, my brother is dating Bellatrix, what the fuck does that do for me? I will NEVER be as good as the two of them, in my entire life, I will not be good enough. Do you understand that? Probably not, you do not have the pressures weighing on your shoulders. You do not have the slightest sense of what it is like. Parent's are different when you're the younger sibling. Not only that, but I was selected to run this fucking club because of the good words of my brother and Amycus Carrow. You're not the one tied down with all these people, you could easily walk out of this room without a scar. One, I have to take precautions, I HAVE to watch over Alecto, I PROMISED Colle that I would pretty much secure his future, and I CANNOT let my brother down and I cannot let Amycus down, and I definitely cannot walk out on all of this because I would be signing my own death wish in fucking blood. You? I can leave you on your own, I could turn away and leave you the fuck here with no bloody direction! I can leave you here to rot, without any alliances, without anything but your own slutty self." Perhaps that was a low blow, but at this point the bitch that was ripping him a new one wouldn't get away with out a Lestrange rant.
"Echoes, if I didn't think this would be better for your future, I wouldn't be talking to you, I wouldn't of said I was sorry, but instead I do something no other fucking slytherin would have the balls to achieve and I go out of my damn way to talk to you about what happened. You go off on a tangent about respect when you hardly respect yourself, nor other people that could be very essential allies. Do you at least understand that? There is more than being in charge than aimlessly murdering, hexing, or cursing people. I, unlike you, have to help people and I have to get them to side with me. I will not stand for being walked on especially by those under me, and those to be guided by me. I've had enough of your attitude, and if you want to end up on top, you follow me, if you choose to head the other direction then there isn't much I can do," Rab threw up his arms and looked at Colle for a moment, even though it was the back of his head h still looked at him. "There is to much to do, and sadly there isn't much I can do about it. You make up your mind and talk to me when you've gained enough sense not to tear into me like a chimera."

She should have known he wouldn't take her argument very well. Actually, he had taken it better than she really should have expected. Her chin fell toward her chest as he spoke and she took deep breaths too keep calm at some of his more harsh words. Something he said in the beginning of his little rant wouldn't get out of her head though. He didn't know what happened to him the other night. Some how that seemed weird for a Lestrange. Never the less she continued to listen to him. He had a LOT of "my brother is better than me" issues. Something Integra knew nothing about as she had no siblings. That was probably for the best.
Looking up at him she sighed. "I can't just abandon you. I have to take your side." She shifted a little and sighed. "Word has gotten to some of the others that you're running the show here. Well...My mother owled the other day and said that if I didn't get in good with you and your plan....Well lets just say its not going to be pretty." She couldn't help but smile a little and laugh as if slightly embarrassed. Something happened to her around him and she was not fond of it. "Look you all think I'm totally bat shit crazy... You've not met my mum."
Laughing again she ran a hand through her hair. "And for some ungodly reason...I'm terribly compelled to stick around to see what happens. So you can count me in. But you can't treat me like I'm dirt. Stop looking at me as if I'm just legs and no brain. I'm a lot more that you have been known to give me credit for." He had said sorry. And it kind of made her feel like he was going fucking soft. The other part of her felt like he was putting his neck out there to get her to listen as well as simply taking the time to man up and approach someone as a leader in a way he thought they would agree with him. A fantastic tactic.
She was watching every inch of him. He seemed far too uncomfortable. There was a long moments pause before she smiled at him. He needed to chill!! To just relax. "You need to blow off some steam before that psychotic little rubber band snaps again and you never come back... Like me!!" She grinned a little sickly. "I have somewhere to be tonight... A little... errand... For my father. You should come with me." Her strangely warm eyes poured into him as she took a step closer and looked up into his hard set face. "Please?"

Once the threat of her hating him for life was over, Rab listened to what she had to say now. Everything was now very clear and he hung onto every last word she spoke. "I'll tolerate you until I am convinced, how does that soind?" Wih a nod he looked at the large clock and took in a sharp breath, "not only do I need you, Integra, i want you. Though i cannot grant myself that pleasure until most of the plan has filled out and come together." Lifting his hand, Rab pushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"Im meeting my brother in Hogsmeade, perhaps we could get a drink after so I can mull over you asking me to help you. Only as friends right now, but keep an open mind." His habits began to unfold in front of her as he rubbed his nose withthe back of his index finger. "Be there or I am not going. Oh and Integra..." Rab flicled his wand so that the muffling charm ended. "I hate you."

She blinked and pulled away as he brushed her hair back. Her lip curled a little. Inside she wanted to melt and other idiotic girly things. Wait... Did he ask her to have a drink with him? He was loosing his mind. Taking in a deep breath she nodded. "I'll be there." He did want her around. News to her. Never the less she was not going to even read into it at all. He'd change his mind by morning. That seemed to be the pattern with him. Lord only knew what was wrong with men these days.
As the muffle charm wore off and he let out his disapproval of her she grinned. "Fabulous... Because I'd rather drink my own throw up out of a disgusting old boot than have any care in the world for you." She leaned in only slightly and whispered. "Sorry... too much?" She winked at him then shoved passed pulling her hair up and shoving a pair of glasses on. "Oh... uhh.. Tonight.. If you are going to do that thing.. with me....Bring rope. I'm going to pop by the library.. have a look at 18th century execution tactics." With a sultry but still nefarious little grin cast back at him over her shoulder she disappeared into a small crowd heading out the door.
Comments: Sorry its short, uh we can continue here that way we don't have to make a new thread?
