Jeona bought as many pieces of candy that she could afford. Lately being a sugar rush actually made her feel calmer. It took the edge off the nightmares and took the sting out of knowing something bad would happen without knowing what that bad thing was.
In the sweetshop, seconds after she'd paid for her goodies, she unwrapped an acid pop and started to eat it. Actually, she touched it to her tongue and it was so tart she started to tear up right away. It was all part of enjoying one of these things. Having people watch you eat it from beginning to end and see them tear up as well. There was power in getting others to cry without having to do anything to them.
But in her tears, she started to feel the familiar tingles in her brain that she got with some sort of incoming vision. Her eyes blurred and not from the water coming from her eyes. She tried to blink away the blur but then everything started to look red and drippy. All over the sweetshop. Crimson drips from the shelves, people and all over the floor. It looked like blood. So much of it.
Jeona felt around with her free hand for a place to sit down but she wasn't finding one. This was embarrassing but also getting scary because the omen wouldn't stop.
(ooc- Feel free to step in and make this vision come true if you like. Remember, Jeona's visions are never quite accurate. What she sees and thinks about it isn't quite what happens.)

Kristian entered the sweetshop in all smiles, happy to be out on this lovely day. It was cold, the frost nipping at his nose, but he found it to be an enjoyable experience. Louis was back at school catching up on his homework and he'd promised that it would just be a quick trip to the sweet shop to get them both some snacks. They often studied together, Kris tutoring his younger boyfriend at odd times of the day, inbetween classes and Prefect duty. He found it to be a far more pleasant time when they had snacks.
So a trip to the sweet shop had been in order after he'd finished almost all the chocolate just a day earlier. It was almost his mothers birthday and he wanted to send her some snacks too, knowing that she loved wizarding treats above all else. She especially enjoyed ice mice and every flavour beans, which was what Kris headed towards the moment he'd entered the shop. When he turned a corner, he found Jeona, a slightly younger Ravenclaw girl, looking awfully pale and feeling around for a place to sit. Worried, he grabbed her arm, gently steering her through the crowd, telling himself that this was the right course of action since he was a Prefect and she had looked like she needed help. Still, it was a scary thing to do and he was half expecting her to push him away.

"Whoa." Jeona grabbed onto the person holding her. She wasn't afraid but she just wanted to know who was helping her. She could feel there was a crowd she was being moved through. Hopefully they were getting somewhere near the door. "Who's there?"
She was still seeing a cascade of blood over the aisles and spilling over people. None of these people were clear but all were just soaked in blood. It was so thick she could smell it. Even her rescuer was too bloody for her to see him or her properly.
She still held onto the acid pop that had brought all of this on. Her eyes were tearing up a lot but would probably be worse seeing the bloody spectacle clearly. "Where are we going?" She asked.

He was indeed leading her towards the door, thinking (as they moved through the crowd) that perhaps some fresh air would do her good. Kris wasn’t really good with girls but he’d seen and read that fresh air was particularly helpful whenever someone looked close to fainting. He wasn’t exactly sure whether or not Jeona qualified, but it could hardly do her harm, could it? Unless she was allergic to air, and that seemed a ridiculous thought, even if Kristian had thought it just a second ago. Of course she wouldn’t be allergic to air! He was just making a fool of himself as always.
Realizing that she’d been speaking to him, he flushed, trying to figure out, in the pressing silence, what she might have been asking. He stumbled over his words – much like his thoughts – sounding like a complete idiot rather than the in control Prefect he’d been aiming for. ”I thought...Air.” He gestured towards the air helplessly, as if he could somehow force it all into her face.
”Are you okay?” Another dumb question. Of course she was not okay. If she had been, she would’ve been off frolicking around the store, rather than stumbling out of the door with him. ”It’s Kris” He added dumbly, managing to somehow make three idiotic comments in a row. He was sure there was some sports reference to that, but for the moment it eluded him.

"Oh, hi Kris." She laughed and tried to sound happy even if the blood was just getting more horrifying as they passed it by. "Fresh air sounds wonderful. Maybe you can find a rain bucket outside. Seriously, I want to dunk my head in it. It can't hurt."
She trusted him. She held onto him so tight. Krys was a sweetheart and a lifesaver. Jeona would have to find some way to thank him later. "I'm not sure what's happening to me but I'm having trouble seeing what's around me. It came on so fast. It's probably just the acid pop. I really ought to cut back."
She believed this was really just another serious vision. Jeona had never had such a strong feeling of blood all around here. At least, nothing that wasn't a nightmare. Jeona desperately hoped this vision meant nothing because she had no idea how to stop it or save anyone. Who would believe her?
She held on tight to Krys' hand and tried to see where they were going to watery eyes and gushing blood.

Kris was glad that she appreciated his help, holding her carefully with one hand in hers and his other arm wrapped around her frail shoulders. If people didn’t all know that he was dating Louis, it would have looked rather odd. Kristian was a guarded person and he usually didn’t feel comfortable with touching people, but he hadn’t wasted a second on it this time. Jeona looked like she seriously wasn’t doing well and he felt bad for her. They had never been close, but she was in his house and was always a really sweet person. He was sure that Louis would like her too.
”We’re outside now” He said softly as they passed the door step, leading her towards a little bench just outside of the door. ”I’m not sure about a rain bucket, but I could use a water charm.” Though he was worried that if he sent a water spell at her, people would think he was attacking her. And it was rather cold, what if she froze? What if he got in trouble because of it? ”Is there anything else I can do for you? Get you something to drink?” Kris felt strangely protective over her. He also felt that there was more to it than just the acid pop story, but it really wasn’t his place to pry.

"Something to drink? That sounds excellent." She rubbed her eyes and hoped the vision would go away. Out in the fresh and freezing air she was beginning to feel a bit more grounded. Cold but grounded. Her tingling brain seemed to want to fade away. It didn't like the visions her eyes were seeing any more than she did.
She plunked herself down on a bench and tried to think of how this looked to Kris. He was her prefect. So it was a little weird that he was the one coming to her rescue. She'd always regarded him as somewhat of an official. Sweet, yes, but to be avoided. She felt she had to assure him she was okay even if she wasn't quite there yet.
"I will be better after a drink. I'm sure of it. I think I may have an allergy problem. I should have it looked into. Seriously. I can't go tearing up like this for no good reason. It might start to put people off." She looked to where she thought he was and smiled as innocently as she could. She could still see lots of blood but it wasn't as horrifying. He was covered in it, head to toe but at least it didn't look to her like he was the accident victim.

This was part of his job, but Kris was genuinely worried. It was probably why he made a good Prefect, despite his lack of social skills. He cared about students, tried to be fair as well as sticking to the rules. Occasionally he’d let a student out of bed if there was something important. There were, of course, the times where students were allowed out of bed, when their parents were ill or something big was going on, but he knew how tough it could be to go to bed after a fight with your partner. Some things mattered more than curfew.
Jeona’s words made sense to his slightly scrambled brain and he smiled at her when she gave him a calming smile, obviously trying to make him feel more at ease. He accepted it gladly, looking around to see if there was somewhere closeby he could get a drink. ”I’ll be back shortly then, with a drink. Maybe it will help getting rid of the allergy” He was, in a sense, only repeating her words, not really knowing what to say to make her feel better.
So he just hurried off, into a bar where he paid the kind lady for a large glass of water. As he rushed back towards the younger Ravenclaw he nearly tripped over his own two feet, but managed to thrust the glass into her hands before he spilled too much of the liquid.

"Thanks so much." Jeona took the glass and took a big gulp of it. The vision was disappearing. That was the worst she'd ever had while awake. Usually dreams of blood happened while she was sleeping.
Now that Jeona was out of harm's way, she realized that a giant vision had been dropped on her and maybe, just maybe, something ought to be done about it if it's about to happen. First she wanted to rule out the obvious. The vision of blood wasn't something currently happening in Hogsmeade or everyone would have been screaming. Maybe something in the past?
"Sorry to trouble you." She looked at him, finally able to see his face better. There was still some visible blood on him that only she could see but it looked more like he'd been beaten up. Was Kris about to get hurt? If that was true, what was with the blood all over? Her visions never ever made sense. "Are you doing okay? What are your plans for today?" Jeona, even in her delirium, wasn't going to let Kris out of her sight today. If she could stop this flood of blood in some small way she might be able to feel good about having such an annoying gift.

Kristian sat down next to her, smiling as she drank down the water. It seemed to help and he was rather proud of himself, even if it was a stupid thing to be. He hadn’t helped all that much but at least he hadn’t left her alone as so many others seemed to have done. Just the thought that they had been avoiding her, not wanting to get caught up in drama, upset him. What was wrong with people these days? Did they have no feelings of compassion anymore?
"Are you doing okay? What are your plans for today?"
He turned towards her at the question, looking at her thoughtfully. Was she worried that she had messed up his plans for the day? ”I was just...out to get some candy. For Louis. My boyfriend.” Now that Jeona’s situation was better, he became shy and uncomfortable again, not really sure what to say. Even if they weren’t hiding their relationship, mentioning that the Hufflepuff was his lover still made him blush. ”We study together. I like candy when I’m studying.” Well that sounded absolutely stupid, didn’t it? Honestly, Kris needed to find some Potion that increased his social skills. Maybe then he could get through a conversation without stuttering or feeling like a complete dork.
