With the situation in the school as it was, Holly wasn't surprised her parents had been worried, in their place she probably would be too. Never had she imagines her last year at Hogwarts would turn out the way it had. She was now walking down the hallways clutching a letter from her parents in her hand. She was angry with them, in fact, the brunette was not just angry with them, she was furious. They'd told her that if things didn't calm down and only got worse, they were considering pulling her out of school for the time being. What had really irritated her though was that they'd made her out to be some sort of helpless little girl and that circumstances would have been different if her brother was still in school. In her rage, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and walked right into someone.

Valerian himself had also been lost in thought about his family. He was on his way to practice his ballet, and so dressed in tight black sports leggings and a very tight top along with his socks that he planned to switch to his point shoes when he arrived at his usual class room. Doing ballet on his own was... disappointing to say the least. He loved to loose himself in the music but missed doing duets and missed his sister even more so. Scarlet so was so bright and happy and they were so close... He needed her right now, to keep him grounded and to cheer him up despite everything going on. She was planning on rejoining the school for her NEWTs but next year couldn't come soon enough. Maybe they could work something out so she could join the school earlier....
"Oof!" He said, more out of surprise than anything, as he collided with Holly. Being the freakishly tall boy he was he easily regained his balance and stooped forwards, putting his arms around her waist and shoulders lightly to catch her. It helped that he was a good ballroom dancer, catching ladies came pretty easily to him. "Sorry, I cannot believe I was paying so little attention, do excuse me." Valerian apologised, carefully pulling her back to her feet and making sure she was once again steady before taking a respectful step back. "I hope you are okay?"

Being smaller than average, he nearly knocked her off her feet even if he was two years younger. She caught hold of his arms to steady herself. "I'm fine, thanks. Sorry I wasn't watching where I was walking either." She offered him an apologetic smile. "You really are tall aren't you?" She noted as she looked up at him.

"6'10 and growing." He nodded and blushed, reaching up to ruffle his hair a little embarrassed. Ever since he was a baby he'd been big and big had quickly become tall. Since he had been a twin he obviously couldn't have gotten bigger than a usual baby but he definitely took up a worrying amount of room compared to his sister. Scarlet remained a normal height after being such a small child but Valerian was constantly growing and it was exhausting. She's always say that one day they'll be two feet between them and the way he was going, he had a strange feeling she'd be exactly right.

"Well I'll know not to mess with you." She joked. "I'm probably smaller than some of the third years."

Valerian chuckled and nodded. "Just because I'm tall doesn't mean I'm /that/ scary. I promise i won't squish you under my giant foot." He grinned.

"Thank, I appreciate it." She grinned before noticing his attire. "Where are you off to?"

"To practice my ballet." He smiled proudly. "And you? You seemed pretty set of going somewhere."

"I forget you did ballet." She smiled before it faded slightly. "Em, no not really."

"You could join me if you want? You said yourself we should all get to know each other better. I can dance and we can talk about why that letter's upsetting you, or about something else if you'd rather." He suggested a little on the blunt side. Valerian had picked up a few tricks from his sister and found it easier to figure out what people were feeling by focusing on his hearing to determine the little things in the tone of their voices.

"I did say that didn't I?" She smiled. "But how did you posibly know a letter was upsetting me?" She asked him out of curiosity.

"My twin sister is blind and I've picked up a few tricks from her. She always says blind people have a 'sixth sense' when it comes to people and their emotions, so ive learnt to focus on the precise tone of people's voices. I can hear you're upset and I can see you're holding a letter." Valerian deduce with a smile. He was generally always smiling when thinking about his sister and was also glad Holly hadn't gotten defensive about his abrupt suggestions.

"I'm sorry to hear that." She apologised giving him a weak smile. "And yes, your deductions are indeed correct. My parents are currently being ... difficult." She decided on saying.

"Ah." Valerian nodded, gesturing for them to start walking in his direction and making sure to keep his long strides slow enough to be at her pace. "What's going on?"

She turned and followed him down the corridor. "With the attacks that have happened at the school, for some reason, they think I should go home." She explained.
