Welcome to Gaia! ::

As they headed towards the hall, Leandra looked back. "I feel like I've just discovered the meaning of life. And also just surprised everyone. I love doing that," she sighed and laughed happily. "And you seem to have changed, too. Eventful day, huh?" She sighed again. "I can't believe it took me seven--more than seven--years to get over myself and not be all grumpy for no reason." She started to skip a little.

"Heck yes," Leandra agreed as they entered the Great Hall. "It's always a blast to be unexpected."

Then she looked around. She had been planning to take the chance and sit with Luna today. But Luna wouldn't really care if she didn't sit with her that day, especially now that she finally knew someone she could eat lunch with and not want to retch.

"So...do you want to sit with me today?" she asked Abigail hesitantly.

((sorry gals...i no longer have a computer so i have to get on my boyfriends' parents after they've gone to bed every few days or so...sometimes i'll be able to get on at my library or something. there may be long entervals where i'm gone and i'm truely sorry for them *hugs*))


She attempted to make a slit with her eyes so that she could see her attacker, but when she did she couldn't see anything but fuzzy outlines. "Help! Please stop!" eventually she quit screaming knowing that if she screamed they would only find satisfaction. so she endured the white hot pain not only in her head, but in her back, legs, and arms. Her chest was the worst part of her body in pain. Suddenly, all at once the curse was lifted and she panted heavily on the ground. when she opened her eyes no one was there. "how long have i been out here?" she thought to herself. It was dark outside, and as she looked up through the clearing the stars shone brightly. Slowly, she got up off the ground and dragged herself back to the castel and into her common room where she proceeded to fall infront of the fire and pass out from exhaustion.

((Mm yeah don't worry about it at all!))

Leandra followed Abigail's concerned gaze. "Huh, I don't know... You think it's anything important?"

Then she remembered the way Raven had been acting...and how she'd never really gone into the castle...and her predictions of Voldemort, coming for her...

"You think she's in trouble?" Leandra gasped suddenly.

Raven opened her eyes slowly to the glow of the fire in her common room. There was no one around, but when she looked over her shoulder there was Draco. He looked worried, bu he had a smile on his face. " I've been looking everywhere for you love. I was starting to get worried. When you didn't come into the school I didn't know where to start looking. Where were you for such a long time?" He laid down behind her on the hearth. She didn't know if she should tell him about what had happened in the Forbidden Forest or not, but she decided that in the long run it was for the best that she tell him. " I was in the forest, and...someone was with me, but i don't know who. They used the Crucatious (b/c i can't spell) Curse on me and left me for dead in the clearing in the middle of the forest. There are spiders out there!" She looked intot he fire. She knew that Draco was worried, but then again she was his girlfriend so he had every right to be worried about her."Why didn't you just come into the castle with me Rae?" He said solomnly. " I needed some time to think about what i need to do Drac. I'm sorry."

Abigail and Leandra made there way to the common room. "I hope they're both there." She was worried. They made their way through the dark passage.

((no biggeh))

Leandra stepped into the common room, and was relieved to see the very two people they were looking for.

"Raven! Draco!" she gasped, laughing a bit. "Where have you guys been?"

Raven and Draco smiled at them as they walked into the common room. "i've been in the forest. I was doing a little bit of meditating. I guess my Uncle Regulus used to do it before he died. It helps me calm down, but i think it makes me more vulnerable" she added that last part under her breath. " But to answer your question Abigail you have to come sit over here so that i can mostly just whisper it to you. Leandra you come down here too. You're both my family now you need to know what happened to me in the forest." she looked at them seriously.
