"oh," she said blushing. "You just throw it into the fire then step in and say your destination. All you'll need to say is Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Hufflepuff, my personal floo is connected to all of theirs alone." She smiled. "You got all that?"

She smiled and kissed him on the cheek.
"Have fun." she said before kneeling in the middle of the room wand arm outstreched. This was going to take some time. Calming her mind she could feel the wards of the castle, reaching out to them slowly, like grabbing onto a slippery rope she began to chant lightly. She nashed her teeth together when the wards wobbled and chanted a bit louder, dimly she was aware of the sweat the was trickling down her forehead and off the end of her nose. Finally, she managed to tap into the wards, relaxing now knowing that she was once again in control, she began chanting again. This time she could see in her minds eye a thin line of gold melding with the silver color of the wards, concentrating harder now she forced the two line to meld together. The color flashed before settling back down into it's normal silver. Knowing that she was reaching the home stretch, she started chanting faster sealing off the wards with a snap.
She fell backwards and landed on something soft. Opening her eyes she saw Roux standing worriedly above her and she realized a pillow had been placed underneath her.
"Hi," she croaked.

"I'll feel better if I know he's gone." She said sitting up slowly.

"I never really got to find out," he admitted.

Well theres only one way to find out," She stood up and stumbled forwards, frowning, she forgot how draining changing the wards could be.

Roux swooped under her and wrapped his good arm around her waist to steady her. "Just don't squeaze my shoulder," he smiled.

"Ready?"

"Just tell me where to go."
"Easy, easy... there." Zack dropped a shoulder under Viv's arm as well and stared calmly at the baffled expressions he got. "I savvy," he said simply.

(when did he wake up?)
"Zack!" she squealed flinging her arms around him, well more like collapsed against him. She blushed profusly and grinned sheepishly at him. "Hi." she said softly.

(Just now, but he heard enough to know what happened.)
The breath wheezed out of his body, but he miraculously managed to stay upright. He stroked her hair and smiled happily. When she looked up bashfully, his grin grew wider. "Hey, babe."
Roux shuffled slowly backwards, trying not to intrude. Shooter's accusations were still fresh.
Zack pulled away from Viv gently to stare at Roux. "Thanks for taking care of my girl."
Roux nodded, saying nothing.
"You did well."

She held on to him enjoying the feeling, knowing that it was completely him. She half listened to the conversation going on around her. Something was up, but at the moment she just didn't care. She hummed happily into his chest and closed her eyes. Things were looking better already.

Zack extended a hand which Roux took firmly and smiled briefly. "Don't worry about the close contact. I can dig it."
Roux felt worse inside, but he hid it well.

"Um I'd still like to make sure Shooter can never get to my students again." She said.
