Welcome to Gaia! ::

Raven shook her head. "You're always welcome in my room. No matter the time." she said with a smile. "And I know you're freaked out. I am too. We're all going to fix this, and things will somehow work out in the end." She said solemnly. "Have a seat." She said as she gestured to the many chairs and couches in her room. That was the one thing Raven liked about being a prefect best; a room to herself, and lots of room for furniture. She pushed play on her wizarding CD player, and Disturbed started playing. It was the kind of music that got her thinking, and got her pumped as well. She sat on the couch closest to the fire, and motioned that there was plenty of room for Abigail to sit. "What's on your mind?" she asked.

Raven grabbed a tissue from the stand beside the couch, and handed it to Abigail. "We're going to try and protect everyone from getting the mark. I was just thinking about it myself right before you knocked." She paused. "And you know that we're not going to let anything happen to you. You may have been the ghost, but in the end no one was safe from Voldemort. Having friends may just keep you safe in the end, or at least alive." she said grimly but with a little hint of a smile. "Besides, I couldn't think o f any one I'd rather be talking to right now. If we hadn't of met then I don't know how much longer I could of stood being with Crucus. He hurt you, and that gave me another reason to leave him. We're a team now, and I know I'd understand if you wanted to get out now, but would there be much of a point now? If he wants you marked, wouldn't that just be another reason to stay with us? Also, Carrow has been coming on to me as well. He even went as far as to hint of marriage. If he does that to you let me know, and the rest of the group. We'll figure this out one way or another. We don't want you to be afraid." She said puling her friend into a tight hug. As she was hugging Abigail she added, "Maybe we can find a way to keep you guys from getting marked that would be beneficial to me getting it." She pulled away from her friend here. "You know. To make his thoughts more keen on me being the best choice, and somehow removing you all off the list of those to be marked."

"You have a very valid point." She said glumly. That had been her only good though, but now she was back at square one. "I'm still not going to throw it out the window, because we may be able to branch off of it or something at the next meeting." She said with a shrug. "Do you have any ideas?" She asked curiously, not trying to be rude or anything.

The whole day, for Vacona, was so exciting. And for once in a really long time she had forgotten about the grief of the recent deaths of her parents. Vacona started to toss and turn, flashbacks of watching her parents die came back in her nightmares. And in her nightmares... she could see herself in a dark hood and scary silver mask, like the ones that had killed her parents as she hid in the closet. Flinging herself upward she screamed a blood curdling scream, that could probably wake the dead, as she awoke from that horrible dream. Vacona looked around, and she shivered in a cold sweat, she curled up into a ball and started rocking back and forth silently. Vacona had no more tears to cry...

"Yeah I herd it. I think I know what room too." Abigail lead the way out of Ravens room and up the hallway to the girls dorms. "I think it was this one." She said pointing to the third door to the right. She hated that she couldn't remember all the girls that roomed in there.

When Abigail saw Vacona she knew it was the right person. She stood close to the girls, worried about her.

Raven glanced over at Abigail and then back to Vacona. "Don't beat yourself up over all this. I don't blame you for screaming or even having the nightmare. It's a natural part of life, muggle, and wizard alike. In truth, I only came out to inspect the scream because that's my prefect duty; to keep all things calm with in the common room and dorms, and in the halls as well. Since I had Abigail with me we were able to locate the scream faster, and therefore find you, and help you. If we've actually helped at all." She said nervously afraid that she was talking too much. "Vacona, if you ever need someone to talk to, or don't want to be alone you can always come down to my prefect dorm. You are always welcome at any time of the day or night. It's like I told Abigail." She said hugging her friend.
