Monica Nodded. "I'm sure it will be fine!"

"There looks like a lot of stuff to do around here," Excelsior said. "It looks like we could have a lot of fun." He could see that, not to his surprise, Jason enjoyed a lot of games and activities of various sorts, he thought he even caught a glimpse of a bowling alley down the back stairs!

" Of course ,if ceartain studnets do not show up at the castle, I will re-arrange the roomate situation, I promise Monica and Delilah" Jason told them Let's play darts, ot is right here in this big room" Jason told everyone there.

"Come on in Barry, we are about to play Darts" Jason told him

"Hey Barry." Lilah said in greeting. "How are you?"

" I talked Excelsior into coming here for the summer Barry' Jason told him

"Hey, Barry! Yes, I'm free for the entire summer. I don't have to leave for Texas yet, not until the beginning of term," Excelsior said. "I plan to be here for a while yet." He walked over to the room where the dart boards were and took a look at them. "What interesting dart boards," he said. "I've never seen any quite like these before." The dart boards had the faces of various Death Eaters painted where the bullseye would normally go.

Lilah took a look at the faces and gasped when she recognized one face. She backed up slowly hoping her friends didn't notice her reaction.

" You know me, always the good one" Jason tells everyone. " He opened a big dartboard revealing the Dark lord and his son as the bullseye. " This is the dart board we are using." Jason told all there. Jason closed all the other dart boards except the big one.

Lilah looked at the board Jason closed and slipped out of the room. She walked toward the laeving room and slumped to the floor.

"Jason, I think Delilah is upset about something she saw on one of those boards," Excelsior said, noticing she had left the room. "She looked like she was really disturbed about something as she was leaving the room."

Monica walked out the door and joined Delilah, She put an imperturbable charm on the door and took her friend in her arms. "I understand sweetie." She murmurred softly. After all there were pictures of her Malfoy and Black family all over the room and it made her feel odd too. Almost as if it were being thrown in her face.

"One of the death eater pictures, was Brandon." Lilah said softly not being able to look up. Her dad had been a death eater? How could that be? It was all too weird.

Monica held Lilah tight. "I know sweetheart. I saw a lot of those people when my uncle Xavier kept me captive. His picture is up there too along with my great Aunt Bellatrix, My grandpa Lucius and My grandma Narcissa. I know." She whispered.

Delilah hugged Monica back. "I can't believe my dad would do that. He was always so nice." Lilah said, hurt.

"Delilah listen to me please, because I know what I am talking aobut. It may be that he did not have a choice. He who must not be named and the son of He who must not be named were both infamous for placing people in their service, foricing them to be there. And also Your dad might have been on a mission for the order of the Phoenix. Remembe, the Longbottoms have been longtime members of the order, the same as the Blacks."

Delilah nodded, Monica was right. That must have been it. "Thanks Monica. Should we join the guys before they wonder where we are?" Lilah asked placing a smile on her face.

Monica pulled out her compact and helped Delilah make sure her hair and makeup was straight. "Ok let's rejoin the boys." She nodded, together they entered the room.

Melinda turned to Delilah, her head was doing lots of spins by the moment, her head was pounding really hard. "Umm..sorry for the lateness on answering, I would love to..." Melinda said, with a slight smile on her face. She looked at the pictures around the mansion, her family, long before her dad, were there, it seemed like if she was being watched by them, something she just couldn't resist. "Sorry, I...will get my stuff to our room..." Melinda said, and walked towards it. Arriving at the room, she found three beautifully decorated beds, an enormous window, that was next to a nice table you could always be reading on and a large couch you could sit on anytime. She left her stuff on the bed closest to the window and went to sit on the couch. She was to think about too much, too much.

Delilah stood in the back and watched the guys throwing darts at Voldemort's face. Lilah smiled at MElinda. "Its okay." she watched Melinda leave and turned to Monica. "Do you think she's alright? Or do we need to go check on her?"

" Ok, let's go bowling instead" Jason yelled to the girls. " The picture is not Brandon, Delilah" Jason told her. It only looks like him. "That happened to be his twin brother, Bruce" Jason told her. "Brandon was always on the good side" Jason told her. " Monica, , the Blacks in this pictures are not yoru relations." Jason told her. "Remember, my grandparents and my cousin are Gryffindors and they fought Voldermore, so you know I how I feel about everyone and so put in dartboards of their pictures." Jason told them. My mother was a HufflePuff and my father a Gryffindor so I am really sorry about my attitude against the bad people all around here" Jason apologizes to all there. Excelsior knows all about Jason's feelings.
