Welcome to Gaia! ::

Carina nodded in agreement. "I think we should go find them...but I'd also not want to miss class. They should be in there with us at the least. Even if I can't be too friendly with Neville." She added the last bit with a small frown. "Oh, I'm pretty sure that for now, they are being kept out. But probably not due to magical protection though."

Carina smiled up at Raven. "That would be fun..." She stated, part of her heritage showing through. Sure, she could be mean, she just usually didn't want to be. So, she wasn't. But she usually got upset if someone told her she couldn't do something. That was a big no no. She took Raven's hand and pulled herself up. "Come on, lets go find our men!"

Anna-Marie was kind of suprised that she was asked that question by Aideen. Of course, when she turned to look at the girl, it was pretty clear that she was worried, probably about her family. Anna-Marie knew she was worried about hers. "This Halloween, many of age students who support the Dark Lord will be becoming Death Eaters and be officially joining his ranks. It's not a suprise, really...that's all I meant by it..."

Aideen's stomach dropped through the floor. More deatheaters at Hogwarts? And immature ones at that. There's no telling what they will do. She was in shock. So many thoughts started to swim through her mind as she began to pace around the room; thoughts about her family, her friends, Hogwarts, her way of life. Aideen knew something had to be done to stop the Dark Lord and his deatheaters before the entire wizarding world was changed forever. Aideen looked up at Anna-Marie. "What are going to do?"

Raven smiled. "It's not everyday you wanna purposely hex someone. This could be a little fun. Maybe we can go find someone particularly annoying later on. Maybe your brother, and Pansy? I think Draco would have a fun time, and I bet Neville could bind them with some plant or smething. He's so good with plants!" Raven looked around and whispered, "I'm so jealous!"

Dimitri looked up at Crucius, then to the figure approaching them. The Russian swore. He looked towards the pillars Jake had summoned, "I'll be back for you, mudblood!" he shouted. The Slytherin took Crucius' arm and hurried away from the site of the duel. He couldn't get punished by anybody other than the Carrows, not that they would punish him. The Russian rounded a corner and ran a hand through his hair with a sigh, "I almost had that stinking mudblood, Crucius. So damn close. McGonagall has this amazing ability to show up exactly when she isn't wanted." he complained. Dimitri wasn't happy, but he was also being over dramatic and he knew it. The Russian was now content to a quiet day on campus. He would be perfectly happy just sitting down and discussing the Halloween Ceremonies with Crucius.

Raven smiled. "I've never had a famly duel. I'm an only child. They sound fun though." She said thinking back to her younger days. She shivered. They weren't too pleasant, the memories she recalled.

"Crucio" said in a man's voice. Raven screamed, but no one came to help. It was her father's idea of training. "One day you'll be able to throw it off. You'll be thankful to me." And he was right. Eventually Raven could throw off the curse completely, the pain merely a tingle in her muscles. Now, should she ever face a Death Eater, if that was they curse they threw, she'd be ready. Her father hadalso taught her to duel as well, her skills beyond anyone her age.

Raven shook her head, relasing the memories to the wind. " I think that if Neville becamethe Herbology professor, I'd be glad knowing that our children will be in great hands." She said witha laugh. "Mandrakes." She rolled her eyes. Neville had passed out that school year due to the scream of the Mandrakes.
