Lissa ruffled her feathers, not pleased with his tone and demeanor. She smirked internally, opening her wings so she could move to sit on the chair directly across from him. With one last look at him, she changed back to a human. "You." She responded to his question, crossing her arms over her chest. "You got a problem with that?" She asked, raising her eyebrows with an innocent smile on her face, but her eyes held challenge. Her voice was still heavily accented from where she came from. She wore a hooded jumper with a silver and purple crest on it. There was a serpent-like creature that looked similar to a dragon, but it had fins and there was water curling around it. It was the crest of her house back from her school in Australia and one of the few things that she was able to keep from her time there. The young Slytherin said a very unsavory word as the bird morphed into a human girl right before his eyes. Stupid Animaguses. His father always said they were dirty, and rude, and didn't have much self-respect, turning into animals like that... "Yes I do," he said after a moment, glaring daggers at this Animagus, Australian girl, "I'm the Slytherin prefect, and I'd like to know what you think you're doing back here?" It was playing on his power. He knew that it was. But, he didn't care. Having just become prefect, he wanted to test it out on someone, and wouldn't the new girl be the best target?

"Oh a Prefect!" She said in a high voice, returning the smirk. "I don't care. We're not at Hogwarts yet, you can't do anything to me." She crossed her arms and crossed her legs, sitting back on the seat. "But if you must know, I'm a new student heading towards your school. My family moved to England recently, so you and your school are stuck with me." She gave him a wide grin. She reached out and pulled er silver and green tie from her bag. "And as a Sylthrien, you even more so."
(Ehhh... this post could be better sorry.)

"And as a Sylthrien, you even more so." (Ehhh... this post could be better sorry.) "Don't worry, I'm sure we won't be seeing much of each other," Draco said with a roll of his eyes and a click of his tongue. He hated first years, and this girl was essentially a glorified, egotistical, annoying first year. Just because they were in the same house didn't mean that they were going to associate beyond this right here. " But, I'm sorry to inform you that prefects have authority even on the train. Since, you know, you don't know Hogwarts' rules yet." [[ it's okay! ]]

Lissa shrugged. "Whatever you say." She responded with a shrug. "You did choose to come into this cabin with me, so I can't be as bad as you're implying." She gave him a small wink and a cheeky smile. Yes, while she didn't know all of Hogwarts rules and such, she had been updated on the situation and some of the rules in her acceptance letter. "By the way that you're speaking, it seems as though you didn't earn your position." Lissa didn't know this, she didnt know how prefects were meant to act - she was making an assumption that would possibly get her into a lot of trouble.

"All the other cabins are full," Draco informed wit ha long roll of his eyes, turning himself away from her to stare at the front of the comportment, feet put up on the seat in front of him. He rolled his eyes again at her little assumption though, looking back to her before saying, "Of course I earned my position. How else do you become a prefect? What are they teaching you in Australia?"
[[ ah, that was crappy. ]]

No! It's good!!))
"Obviously more than you, considering your reaction to my Animgus form." She responded bitterly, ready to defend her school at the drop of a wand. "Likely more than your lot considering I was able to take animal form in my second year." Lissa reached over into her bag and pulled out her wand. It was a sea-serpent-mane core with a touch of the scale shavings. It was a deep blue colour with dark brown wood grains. "Why don't you show me what you can do?" She asked, eyes shining with challenge.

Draco grumbled something under his breath. For a second, for a second, he really thought about being the bigger man and keeping his wand in his pocket, refusing to mess around with this... with this idiot of a girl, but that pompous part of him snapped, and he drew his wand out, pointing it at the suitcase in front of him, and giving it a deft, decisive wave. The suitcase squirmed, rocking back and forth, spouting hear and a nose and four legs, and suddenly it was a little brown dog, which barked and ran to Draco, tail wagging. He gave it a pat and said, "Transfiguration and nonverbal magic. Your go."

Lissa eyes widened. "Impressive, truly." She said sincerely, living her want to her own bag. She pondered a moment before giving a quick swish. The bag did nothing for several moments, but she held eye contact. The bag shuddered, before it turned into water. It almost lost its form, but Lisaa flicked her want and it changed into the shape of an angel. It froze over like an ice sculpture. Lissa waited another moment before turning it back its true form. The bag looked a little damp. Lissa grinned, "water transforming and manipulation." She grinned.

"...Impressive," Draco complimented right back after a moment, turning his head back to tell the dog to sit, giving it a reluctant pat on the head before turing it back into a brown leather case with another swish of his wand, muttering the incantation underneath of his breath this time instead of putting in the extra effort of nonverbal magic. Once he had moved his luggage back to its correct spot again, he asked, "Why do we have to play this game? Big ego much?" He knew that he was one to talk, but she didn't know that. Yet.

"You tried to bad mouth my old school." She responded. "Even though I'm not a student there anymore I will defend it to my last breath." She grimaced, "that sounded far worse than I actually meant." Lissa sighed, "a how about we start from the beginning? My name is Lissa Harley. It's nice to meet you."

Well, it looked like she wanted to be friends. "Draco Malfoy," he introduced as he turned to face her again, trying not to be a complete and utter asshole, "nice to meet you too." He was silent for a moment, and then another. He wasn't even sure he wanted to be talking to her, but after his pause he asked, "Why'd you move here?"

(it's okay! Really.)
"Malfoy? As in Lucius?" She looked away, tapping on her leg with a contemplative look on her face. After a moment, she looked up. "Dad got another job at the Ministry here, working mostly with helping people turn into Animgus, making sure that people do it right and don't kill themselves. Mum wanted a new chance with magic and such. It's more difficult here because your muggles aren't allowed to know about magic. In Australia muggles know that it exists, but they're not allowed to see or exploit us." She was still tapping on her leg. "I met Lucius Malfoy when I was in the Ministry with my father. He didn't seem too pleased about dad's job." She shrugged. "But we don't let it bother us."

"Well, I think they were brought here after the incident; since I doubt Ross would have left them lying around." Clint walked around the table, looking at the devices from various angles. They did remind him eerily of the Tesseract, and that was something he didn't like. Besides, when did anything go right when those glowing, extra-terrestrial things were around? T'Challa, however, was busy asking someone for any information when he heard the phone ring; politely nodding at the rest of the group before taking the call. "Are all of you okay?" The question left his lips in a controlled whisper; but he kept his tone formal.

He felt... awkward, to say the least. This girl thought that they were going to be best buddies or something like that, but in-between his dad, and the fact that he himself didn't really like Animaguses (because of his dad)... "He's never pleased about anything. Ignore him." Well, it wasn't a lie, and it wasn't the truth, but it was fine.

The question left his lips in a controlled whisper; but he kept his tone formal. Natasha just nodded at Clint, sighing with relief as T'Challa picked up the phone and saying in an equally soft tone, "Yeah, we're all fine. We just found something... weird. It looks like technology, but I don't think it's from Earth." Just like those creatures they had seen in the forest. Were they connected to the Chitauri? Were they the Chitauri, but just a different breed? They never knew if they'd actually killed all of them. "What should we do with it?"

T'Challa listened intently to the explanation, before covering the screen with his hand out of habit and turning to the rest. "They found something; and I think it may relate to the Manhattan incident." His voice still a whisper, he mulled over Natasha's question as he formulated an answer. "Well, if it is related to the Chitauri as you have said, then it would be unwise to touch or transport the devices without some sort of container. I assume Stark must have something to conceal them in? Or should we meet you there?" While the King was growing weary of the discovery, he kept his neutral tone present; just to make sure he wasn't sounding out of place. Besides, this will hopefully benefit their search.

"We might be able to get it contained, but I don't know about transporting it back to your place..." Natasha trailed off, thinking, and then said, "if you can, try and make it up here. We might need help."

"Oh!" Lissa flushed, covering her face with her hands. "Sorry I didn't meant to insult you. Really. I have nothing against him, I've learnt not to hold grudges." She gave a shy grin, "and I ramble a bit too..." She trailed off and peaks out from behind her hands. "Y'know, you don't need to be polite to me if you don't want to be. I know that a lot of people don't like animguses..." She sighed, dropping her hands into her lap as as looked down at the patterned seats. "I've learnt to deal with people who don't like us and shun us. Even back home when it was a norm, there were lots of people who were against it."

"You didn't insult me," Draco informed in a very insulted sort of tone. But, really, that was just the way he talked. He'd been taught to talk like that, and as he got older he knew that it was wrong, but that didn't mean that he was doing to stop. "And sorry, but yeah, you're right. My family's not the biggest fans of... your sort of people." He smiled slash grimaced at her as he said that. It was more of a grimace, actually.

Lissa raised her eyebrows as if to say 'I beg to differ' but didn't speak her thoughts. "It can't be helped. I suppose that is just how you're raised." She shrugged a bit, seemingly completely fine with it. "Surprisingly, it is muggleborn wizards who are more okay with it." She mused absently tapping on her leg again.

T'Challa waited for a few moments, before sighing. As much as he didn't want to go to New York, the safety of everyone would be guaranteed if they didn't try and move the devices from where they were stationed. Since they didn't have any idea why their friends had been taken, it was better to tone down on any rash thinking. "You're right." He started, before adding. "I'll organize a quick flight there; just stay safe." [[Oh! No problem at all! You take as much time as you need; because that is more important than a long post uwu ]]

That good old pureblood pride... he didn't think that he'd ever be without it either, even if he wanted to. It was an annoying thing, actually, being taught to always bring it up, but he couldn't change. [[ idk xD i'll think of something during school. ]]

She owed him a lot of ones, mainly cause she'd kicked his ass after promising to help him multiple times, but that was besides the point. It was fine. He was coming. "I'll see you when you get here." And with that, she hung up, putting the phone away. "He's grabbing a flight up." [[ aw, thanks <3 ]]

"So am I." She responded with a grin, rocking forward as she crossed her legs again. "No one in my family has ever had a relationship with a muggle or otherwise. We're all animgus too. It's a tradition." She glanced out the window. It was starting to get darker. "I know that it's too cold to swim this time of year ... but if it wasn't ... do you know of any place that I could swim?" She asked, a little shy now.

"As I said before," T'Challa let a hint of humor grace his words, holding the phone close to his ear. "Anything I can do to help, I will do it. Hope to see all of you soon." He gently pocketed the phone, looking back towards the group that surrounded him. A moment later, he looked towards a window and nodded. "Looks like we're taking our search to The States." Clint, meanwhile, had taken out his own phone and, with slight grumbling, started to take pictures of the devices. "That's good; though it's times like this when I wish we had better sources." While he agreed that the 'old SHIELD' was riddled with fakes, he did miss tapping into the archives whenever it was needed.

Draco knew that she was changing the topic, but... he didn't bring it up. He found that he didn't want to really. Strangely. "The lake's not that cold," he said after a moment, shrugging one shoulder, "I heard that there's a spell on it, keeping it warm. You're not the only person around here that goes out to swim."

[[ ugh it sucks xD how are you though? ]] "Well, with S.H.I.E.L.D. gone, it's hard to do much," Natasha mumbled, taking pictures with her phone as well. She glanced up as she heard Bucky wander into the room, calling, "Grab some gloves," and looking back away from him as he did. She didn't quite know how to feel about him, and she suspected he felt the same about her. When they did speak it was fleetingly, or in sarcastic tones, but she remembered him, and she knew that he remembered her. It was going to be some time before they talked about it though. "Until T'Challa gets here, we should probably search the rest of this place." [[ i hardcore ship nat and bucky in the comic universe omg. ]]

[[I'm doing pretty well, for once xD My mock exams start on Tuesday, and I only have about two more sections to study. Plus we have finally finished all the work I need to know for my finals in October, so that's some bonus time for studying ^^ ]]
Clint regarded the two out of the corner of his eye, fingers swiping on the phone screen to view the pictures he took. While some were blurry, most were relatively good, in his opinion. He, however, didn't know how to address the two in front of him. Sure, he knew Nat the most, and he was sure that she was one of the few people he would trust with his deepest, darkest secrets, but he knew she didn't tell him everything. While he was sure the tension was because of some information that was not related to him, he decided to try and clear the air. "That would take him some time, depending on where they went off to, so I guess we should also make ourselves comfortable." He offered a smile, before pocketing his phone. "Pretty sure Tony won't mind...that much."
[[Omg yaas! I heard a rumor that they may address that ship as the MCU goes further and I got so happy xD ]]

"We used to live here," Natasha chuckled, "he wouldn't care." Wherever he was. What if he was dead? No, she couldn't think about that right now. It would only freak her out and make it harder for her to do her job. She was already having enough trouble focusing with Bucky in tow. She was pretty sure that she kept catching him glancing in her direction. She knew that he knew that she noticed, but neither of them were gonna say anything. "Hopefully he hasn't moved our stuff anywhere," she mused with a smirk, elbowing Clint gently as she turned around, brushing past Bucky and walking for the door as she tugged off her pair of gloves.
[[ omg pls if that happens i'll be so happy. ]]
