Cassie ran up the stairs to the seventh floor, sweat and tears washing her face. Perhaps for the first time in as long as she could remember her hair was a down right mess but she didn't care. She just needed to find her best friend and that meant she needed to get into the Gryffindor Common room. If only she could find it.

Frustrated and heart broken she slid down against the wall and pulled her knees up and cried soaking the knees of her jeans.

She really needed Brynn.
