*Faith opened her eyes and groaned* Can't I go five minutes without ending up in this shithole? I should just move in, I practically live here.

Madam Pomphrey looked over at Faith when she heard the girl speak. She humphed softly and spoke "Well maybe you should be more careful with yourself then Ms. Malfoy. That way you won't keep ending up here." She humphed once more and went into her office.
McKenzie bit back a laugh, glancing at Faith with a smile while Madam Pomphrey was still in the room. Once the woman left she turned to Faith and spoke with a hushed voice. "Faith, we need to talk."

*Faith glanced around the room to make sure it was empty before getting out of bed. She grabbed McKenzie by the arm and pulled her out into the hallway off to the side* What's so important Wallace?

McKenzie glanced around, knowing she would see no one, but it was force of habit. She looked back at Faith. "They're canceling the dance because of the death and they may have to close the school if the deaths continue. Dumbledore is announcing it now." She knew the girl needed to know and it was best to do it when no one was around to see the reaction.

*Faith clenched her fists tightly until her knuckles began to pop. She wanted to hit something right then. She knew what fate awaited her if the school closed. Even her brother couldn't protect her every moment of the day. She closed her eyes and took a long deep breath before speaking* There's only one way to keep the school open... *She headed back to the dorm and started to pack her things*

McKenzie had followed the girl back to the dorm and watched with horror. Before long McKenzie stormed over and slammed down the lid to Faith's trunk, a look of outrage on her face. "This isn't going to fix anything Faith. It's not going to help you. And... and... " She flailed her hands about, trying to find the right words, but failing. She sat on the trunk with a huff, shaggy hair hanging over her eyes. "Please... think of something else..."

*Faith bit her lip and grimaced as the trunk lid was slammed down onto her fingers. She managed to pull them free before the woman sat down. She shook her hand and bent her fingers to check for broken bones, finding she had none* What other option is there? If I stay more people die. That can't happen if I'm not around to kill them. So, tell me what it is I'm supposed to do.

McKenzie shook her head before sighing and looking up at Faith. She didn't want to say what she was about to, but it was necessary. "You need to learn to control your temper Faith. Everytime a death has occured it's because you've been pissed off. And... it's my fault.... " She mumbled this last part, putting her head in her hands.

No. *She said, turning her back to the girl.* Believe it or not, it isn't your fault I take after my old man. I know I should control my temper, but when you've endured a lifetime of s**t like I have it becomes your means of survival. Dominate your opponent before they have the opportunity to attack.

McKenzie listened, eventually looking up at Faith. She slowly stood and walked over behind the girl, gently resting her head against Faith's shoulder. "There's gotta be another way though... I... I want to help you... if I can..." Her voice became softer as she spoke, eventually dying out. She didn't want to loose Faith if she could help it. She found her voice again, but it was soft. "You're the only person that's meant anything to me... I don't wanna loose you..."

You may not have to. *Michael said from the doorway* I just spoke to Dumbledore. I explained that the wolf attacks were most likely a ploy of our father's. He knows Dumbledore would close the school if it meant keeping the students safe. But, in doing so, it would place Faith at an even greater risk because she would be away from a place of refuge. *He walked over to Faith and handed her a vial* I did some extra studying in Potions and made you a stronger wolfsbane potion. Tonight is a full moon, so you'll need it if you're going to the dance. Dumbledore is making the announcement right now. *He said with a soft smile and was responded to with a tackling hug*

McKenzie watched, her shoulders relaxing at the news that the school wasn't going to close. But the countering comment that the dance will still be held confused her. She bit her tongue though and kept the thought to herself. She really didn't want to go. She looked up at Michael with sad eyes before going into the bathroom and shutting the door. She needed a little privacy to think.

*Michael waited a few minutes before going over and knocking on the bathroom door* Are you okay? *He said softly, opening the door a crack to avoid disturbing her privacy in case she wasn't in a decent state of dress*

Kathryn stayed in the shadows for a long moment, carefully watching over Faith and McKenzie. She didnt know why, but she was drawn to these two. With a sigh she went to her room.
Taking a large bit of potion and doign some healing spells on herself she undressed her wounds wincing as she felt her bones crack with every movement as the spells she casted went about mending the damage.
For the life of her she was going to the dance even if it killed her. She thought about the fact that Dumbledore wanted the girls to dress in dresses and winced. Hell no.
Taking a long shower she used the time to think. The common room of RavenClaw was a-buzz with the news of the latest attack, as well as the fact everyone was getting reading for the big ball.
She snorted. Looking in the mirror at herself she slowly started to get ready

McKenzie had been leaning over the bathroom counter, letting the tears she couldn't control fall. She didn't want to talk to Michael or see Michael. So when the sound of the door opening hit her ears, the hairs on the back of her neck prickled. She looked over to see the door open a crack, not caring about the tears, a low growl eminated from her. "Leave me alone Michael." Her eyes shifted in colors as she glared.
