Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Oops," Leandra half-laughed, eyeing the fallen burger. "You okay Raven?"

"Yeah," she said looking at the Ravenclaw girl. "I'm fine. Just your story about your family made me miss mine something fierce. Also hearing you, Leandra, talk about people only being human...yeah it opened up the channel that used to be my old mind set, and I thought How could I be that way? Seriously...I thought I had it bad, but you guys...'specially you Ky...have it worse off than I ever did. I think it's awesome that you guys are so ballzy about how you view what normally people see as a way of life. All my life I wanted to be a Death Eater, until I met Draco. He changed me back in year 3 when he told me that he didn't want to be what he was destined to become. I'm almost glad that my parents aren't alive today to see me now. They wouldn't like what I have become..." She smiled a half a smile and began to down the 6 replacement burgers Doby placed before her.

Abigail put down her burger. She just listened to the girls. They all had stories. She didn't think hers was all that compelling. She folded her hands in her lap. Out of pure instinct her hair went a almost black plum color and grew long. It did this slowly as the girls talked and bonded. For some reason she felt as if she was out of the loop once again with the older girls.

Abigail looked up. She brushed some of her new hair behind her ear, "Well only that it harbors some of the most dangerous and powerful creatures in the wizarding world. Other than trolls and giants of course. I heard a rumor once that... um.. someone had seen V-vo-voldemort in there." Abigail was a bit startled by Ky. And so she rambled. She looked at the three girls. A few of the house elves gasped at the mention of Voldemort.

Abigail looked around before looking back down at her hands. Her hair fell as if to shield her. 'Why am I acting like a damn nervous first year? What is wrong with me? Well they probably wish I was still unconscious in the infirmary. And this Ky girl probably thinks I'm a bigger freak then Granger, Weasley, and Longbottom combined. I should never be a loud in public like the nuns say.' She kept thinking in this way. Her train of though negative. She even had a few thoughts of leaving.

Abigail slowly looked up as Leandra brought her out of her train of thought. She looked around and it felt like all eyes were on her. "It's nothing.... It's just you all have these stories about your family. And...... and well I don't have any...... I never even knew my parents." She said the last sentence in a whisper. She fiddled with her hands the whole time she was talking. She felt like an outsider in the conversation.

Abigail wasn't really convinced by what Leandra said but she got what she was trying to say. "Really I don't have one. In fact no one ever really noticed that I didn't have parents or cared to ask. I get picked up by a nun every year and no one notices. Before today no one really talked to. I mean actually talk to me like a person. I thought quidditch would get me a few friends, but that didn't work." She stopped talking. She could here herself rambling.

Raven looked over and Abigail. " No you have us...and you got me through Quidditch, well sorta. We are your family, me, Leandra, and Draco. And if you want to join in our our small little family we got going on Ky you are more than welcome." she beamed over at Ky when she said this last part. " Abigail, I hardly knew you until this year, and unfortunately this is my last year here, but i'd give anything to stay here at Hogwarts and remain with my friends. I know that i'm so said one of the most popular Slytherin girls, but that doesn't matter to me. The students in our House are not my family. The ones i hold near and dear, Leandra, You, and Draco are my family. Now that my parents are dead, slain by the hand, or wand so to say, of Voldemort him self, and my uncle Regulus has been dead for 6 years now, I don't have a home. Yeah i'm going to live with Leandra's parents, but what good is that going to do me? My parents are dead. I'll never get to see them smile or have a good American burger again. We are FAMILY. I'm part of YOUR family Abigail. And i always will be. I promise"

After said speech, Raven got up and hugged Abigail tightly. Everything she said was true. Family. She sat back down after a minute and turned to Ky. " I don't know why I feel that I should trust you, but I feel compelled to tell you this. " she paused. " I was attacked by someone in the Forbidden Forest just yesterday. I was attacked with the Crucaious (sp) curse out of no where. What do you think?"
