"Yea-huh,"Natalie glared at him. "And I suppose that as soon as I let you out of your hamster ball, you'll jsut MAGICALLY change back into Lagorovitch?"she asked, sarcasm heavily coated. "Not a chance, hun." She stepped forward, poking the bubble softly. "Though I must say. I'm rather loving this new product,"she grinned, poking it some more.

"Nats..." Jake sighed. "You're right. I have no proof that I'm telling he truth...I have no proof that Lagorovitch won't come back...I have no proof that I'm not just someone else with a Polyjuice potion...I've got nothing," he said simply. "But give me any way to show you I'm telling the truth, and I'll do it. Even if I have to take the stupid Veritaserum again." He rolled his eyes.

Natalie gave a sigh and hung her head. "I'm not saying I don't believe you,"she said, choosing her words carefully. "I'm just saying. I think it may be....safer... If you were kept inside this ball. At least until Lagorovitch won't be able to take control anymore." She looked back up at Jake. "The ball isn't THAT bad, is it? I mean. It's even got its own food compiler,"she grinned.

"Fine," Jake said simply. "But Lily's going to come after me with murder in mind if I don't show up for practice, or worse, a game. So we need to figure this out fairly quickly..." he added, not wanting to argue with Lily about not being able to play Quidditch inside a bubble, and not being able to leave the bubble to play Quidditch. "It has a food compiler?" He added after a second.
Aaron almost argued that it probably wasn't even Jake, but by Jake's last comment, he decided that it must have been true. "Yup, it's him alright."

Natalie laughed and took out the small controller. She pressed several buttons and the bubble seemed to gloss over again. She jabbed the bubble with her wand and with a loud *POP* the bubble poofed and shrunk, ejecting Jake from its inside. She bent down and picked up the small marble ball, pocketing it again. "Yup. Figured it was him."

Jake looked around fearfully as he was thrown out of the bubble. "Keep that out..." he told Natalie. "Just in case..." he added, which wasn't really much of an explanation, but was all that was needed. Then he walked over to Aaron and knelt down next to him. For the first time, he saw what Aaron really looked like and winced. "Bloody hell..." he murmured. Anthony's going to die a painful death for this, was the thought running through his mind. Suddenly Jake backed away from Aaron, rigid. "Natalie, get it out..." he ordered, shaking and clutching his head again. He seemed to lose his balance and fall to the floor, trying to hold off the other presence in his mind until Nats could enlarge the bubble.

Natalie immediately dug into her pockets once more and pulled out two tiny marbles. She threw them at Jake. She bent down and picked up the controller from the ground.
((Blaah.. I'm sorry... x.x;; I can't think.. ))

//I hate writer's block.//
Jake lay on the ground, writhing, until he felt one of the bubbles surround him. Then he let go, and Anthony took over. After a minute, Jake looked at Natalie. "So...little blood traitor figured it out...I'm impressed...two blood traitors and a Mudblood really CAN think..." He smirked. ((The blood traitors are Jake and Nats, cause they don't only talk to pure-bloods, and the Mudblood is Aaron, although it's actually his dad that is...))

Natalie's eyes narrowed. "Shut up Lagorovitch,"she growled. "Now why the hell are you leeching off Jake? Like the sick parasite you are,"she spat, balling her fists up. "That's really disgusting you know,"she continued. "I don't want to be kissing my boyfriend and then half-realizing that I might be kissing a psychotic freak like you."

"Don't worry, I wouldn't want to kiss you either, blood traitor. But, as you've realized, I hope, otherwise you really are as dumb as I thought, ickle Jakey can't fend me off. I can read his every thought like a book. And except for the occasional slip-up, or not being able to use elemental power to its fullest, I have complete control." Jake smirked. "So there are a few choices here...Jakey stays in this bubble 24/7 so I can't do anything...You kill him so that I can't possess him...I kill all of you...Jakey commits suicide to save all of you from me, being the brave idiot everyone thinks he is...or I kill Jake on my own within this bubble, which I really don't want to do. I want you and Mr. Hufflepuff over there gone, too, and I can't do that as easily without ickle Jakey...although I will eventually. So, in the end, Jakey ends up dead, and possibly takes a few others with him." Anthony obviously had this all planned out. "As for Puddlemere...I guess they're going to have to find a new Chaser, or you're going to have to let me out." 'Jake' sent Natalie a look, though he seemed to be drilling holes into her with his stare.

Natalie felt herself shudder involuntarily. Her eyes bored back into those of 'Jake'. She bit her lip, eyebrows furrowed. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists, taking a deep breathe. Natalie opened her eyes, glaring at the Anthony-Jake. "I think.."she said, breathing in and out heavily, "that I'll keep Jake inside the bubble." Her eyes narrowed. "If Jake were here, he would want me to keep him inside the bubble, too,"she continued, more confidently.

"You're right, you wouldn't want him to hurt anyone. After all, by staying in the bubble, he can only get hurt himself...and there are more important things than a one and only chance at winning the Quidditch World Cup. I'm sure it might come again. It's not too likely that Puddlemere will fall apart next year like the Cannons did, and go on a complete losing streak. They'll still be next year for him to try..." Jake said, smirking. It was an odd thing to hear 'Jake' talking about 'himself' in the third person.
"Puddlemere won't fall apart," Aaron said. "Will it?..." he asked, looking at Natalie.

She rolled her eyes and snorted. "Nice use of sarcasm there, Lagorovitch. Now are you just going to stand there and bluff or are you actually going to do something?"Natalie rolled her eyes and continued, answering both Aaron and Jake. "I'll sub in for Jake's position if I have to. I might not be able to do the same tricks as he does, but I'm...decent,"she said, grimacing slightly. "Lily's my cousin. I'll be seeing her a lot anyways. So why not let her train me if Jake's in no condition to play?"

"Ah well, I guess you're not going to let him out...but I have a little trivia for you, blood traitor. Do you think that curses can be done through Legilimency? Or do they have to be done in person?..." 'Jake' said, smirking widely.
"If you even dare, I will come in that bubble and rip you to shreds..." Aaron growled.
"No you won't. You'll rip ickle Jakey to shreds while I sit back and laugh," 'Jake' replied smugly.

Natalie winced slightly, but still kept her eyes on him. "I don't know,"she gulped,"but I have a feeling that you do,"she whispered the last part. Her fists were clenched tighter, but she felt no pain. "There's no smegging way that I'll get you out of that bubble anyways."

"If you insist..." 'Jake' smirked. "Actually...there's no way to do it...according to those pathetic books people read. But I know a guy...and let's just say...I won't feel a thing," 'Jake's' smirk widened. Suddenly he fell to the ground, writhing in agony as the familiar pain of the Cruciatus Curse coursed through him. It carried on for about ten seconds before Jake came to rest. He immediately began laughing and stood up. "Hmm, would you look at that? It works."

"JAKE1"screamed Natalie, stepping forward. Her hand reached out, barely touching the bubble. She stopped, and pulled back, biting down on her lower lip. She was shaking violently, now and almost lost her balance.

"You b@$t@rd," Aaron swore at Anthony. He wanted to go over to Natalie and support her, but that was kind of difficult when you can't walk...
"Shut up, Mudblood," Anthony spat at Aaron. "Actually, I'm glad I'm in this bubble. The air is cleaner in here, with none of your dirty kind," he continued, making Aaron madder by the second. Seeing that attacks to Aaron himself weren't getting a reaction, Anthony continued, "It's too bad I have to wreck the calmness in this wonderful little bubble...Crucio!"
Jake cried out, falling to the floor of the bubble again, twitching and clutching his head. This time Anthony held the curse longer, and it wasn't for almost 20 seconds that Jake finally lay still, breathing heavily.

"STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!"cried Natalie. She dropped to her knees, sobbing. The tears rolled down her face rapidly. "DON'T... JUST STOP.... PLEASE JUST,"the redhead stammered, trying very hard to enunciate through her sobs.

The curse stopped. ((Repeating it, but whatever... )) Jake stood up, eyes bright, and then they immediately dulled again as Anthony took over once more. "Stop? But I thought you wanted ickle Jakey to stay in the bubble...have you changed your mind?" he asked tauntingly.

Natalie stayed quiet, letting a few hiccups escape from her lips. She grabbed a fistful of the grass beneath her and clutched it tightly. She shut her eyes, refusing to look at Jake in the bubble. "I don't know,"she whispered, shaking her head furiously. "I don't know,"she repeated.

"Well, I guess you should make a decision," 'Jake' said, and then fell to the ground once more, writhing in pain.
Aaron crawled painfully over to Natalie, stopping beside her. He tapped her and indicated for her to hand him the remote. Jake was still on the ground, and Anthony was unaware of what Aaron was doing. The curse had lasted a little less than ten seconds so far, and was continuing.

Natalie wiped her tear-soaked face with her sleeves. She gently pushed the controller towards Aaron, discreetly. She pushed herself off from the ground, standing up shakily. "Stop it,"she said, darkly. She clenched her fists tightly. "Please stop."

Jake stopped lurching, and Anthony once again took over. "I'll keep doing this all night if I have to. I don't feel anything..." he said, shrugging.
Aaron put a hand up. The other was still supporting his weight on the ground. "OK, just stop! You win," he said simply. "What do you want?"
"Well, since you're being so generous...you and Jakey stay out of the way while I kill a few people...Brent Tripp, James Potter, Claire Malone, maybe Kat Potter too if I'm feeling in the mood...and then I won't bother you again," 'Jake' said.
Aaron heaved a dramatic sigh. "OK, Lagorovitch, I guessed you've earned this. He pressed a button on the controller, and suddenly red light lit up the bubble, and Jake's body fell to the ground, eyes closed and motionless. Aaron handed the controller back to Natalie.

Natalie turned around to face Aaron. Tilting her head to the side, she raised an eyebrow. "Which function did you use?"she asked, toying with the controller in her hands. She looked up and back at Jake in the bubble, then turned back to Aaron.
