Then the Slytherin started to speak again. Then it seemed like a good turn for Nika to say something, but what to say she didn't know. She could have spoken up with the expected, "Yeah!" But Nika was not what everyone expected anyway so being abnormal in her response wouldn't have been too odd either.

She just stared at Samira. Well a part of Nika felt guilty for saying all of those mean things. Even guiltier for getting Samira to say those mean things too. She just wanted her old friend back, the one that went ice skating with her on the great lake, the one who taught her some charms, the one who was there through everything. Not an enemy. She looked up at Samira and took a deep breath. She waited for Samira to say more because Nika certainly had no idea what was going to come next.

Leave her? Surely Nika's own intentions hadn't been that bad. She only wanted Emily to know how upset she was then maybe in a good month or two... or three... or five they'd make up again. Even if they had to make up via owl. She wasn't planning on losing her old best friend over a stupid fight. "I-I guess so." Nika was falling for Samira's little act though. No matter how much she loved Emily before her friend had made her very upset and even angrier than she had ever been since her first term. Samira had been nothing, but loyal this year so she owed the snake in a sense. "I remember." She said almost wincing thinking about it. Taking another deep breath she looked up again.

"No I don't." Nika murmured in agreement. Samira's words yet short and quick had started to circle in Nika's mind. "You'll get hurt again.... Better off without her.... Forget her... Hard enough time... She will hurt you..." It was as if Samira were whispering the words in herself in Nika's ears. How was Nika supposed to make the decision. At this point it was like choosing between Samira and Emily. How was she supposed to make that choice? Emily her best friend from first year who broke her heart one to many times, then Samira the slytherin friend who stuck by her through and through and was loyal until the end. How was she supposed to pick. If anything Nika felt like more of a jumbled mess than she was when she first walked towards the slytherin table. She just needed time to think. Maybe in the train she'd be able to find an empty compartment. Maybe she'd be able to find someone who could help her out, someone who was impartial on the matter. Maybe a random hufflepuff or something?

This just became a whole lot more complicated than it needs to be.

A tiny, almost unnoticed part in Samira squirmed with guilt. She couldn't help but feel she was ruining the friendship between Nika and Emily. But, no...Samira's own words had convinced her. Emily would hurt Nika again, one way or another. Either she'll unexpectedly move, or say something hurtful, or something. But Samira knew Emily couldn't be trusted. From what Samira witnessed this past term, Nika's emotional state was fragile, and she could be hurt easily.

Samira wasn't like that though. If something happens, she just trains herself to let it roll off her like waves. In a way, they made a rose. Nika was the soft, delicate petals that were so easy to pluck and manipulate and hurt. Samira, well, Samira was the thorns of the rose. Innocently laying there, unnoticed until she pricks, protecting the petals. Yes, that's what Samira was doing. She was protecting the petals from the greedy hands that belonged to Emily Smith. Nika would thank her one day, she just knew it.

Samira held her breath as she watched Nika think it over. Her ability to con people coupled with her persuasive and acting skills meshed with the sincerity in her to make the perfect plan. She couldn't stand it if Nika got hurt again. After all, the Gryffindor didn't know what she wanted. The poor girl was obviously confused, and Samira was like a big sister there to help guide her, whether Nika knew it or not.

The Slytherin resisted the urge to cheer in triumph. Samira-1, Emily-0.

Oh, how quickly Samira could turn on her allies! Wasn't it just yesterday that Emily was teaching Samira that charm to color her bag? Well, this is why she liked being a Slytherin. She didn't have to be bothered by remorse.

Thinking this had gone on long enough, Samira silkily changed the subject. "I can't believe term is over," she commented smoothly, not a hint of guilt in her voice. "I'm excited to be a third year. One step closer, you know?"

Oh, yes. One step closer indeed.
