Lex nodded reflectively as the girl mentioned that they would have a difficult mission. "You're right...and if we're not careful we might end up cursed too--kinda like in those mummy movies where those people go down into the tombs and end up getting themselves cursed." She didn't like that thought one bit. "Let's uh...let's make sure that never happens, okay?" Mummies she could handle but being boring she could not.

The next thing Cassia said made her skin crawl. She'd never thought of it that way before but the girl was right. If anything happened to Cassia it was likely to happen to her too. Gulp. This just made her even more determined to find out a little more about this curse. It would help if they knew who cast it in the first place and just how strong it was. They were only 11 and 12, at this point their magic might not be enough.

Oh?

"She did??" Why was she always the last to know everything?!?!? "I had no idea! Is that why she was being all sick and stuff then?" Because that would have made sense...wouldn't it? But anyway, "I guess we shouldn't bother her then..." The woman was vicious, she didn't wanna know just how much more vicious she could get if she felt she was being bothered right after having a baby. Yeah...she could do without finding that out...

Alexa didn't appreciate Cassia's tone when she began talking about the work they'd have to do. NO! "Listen here, we will not be thinking like that! No matter what we have to do, we will find a way to get rid of this curse before it gets anyone else. Yes I agree that we should avoid them--er...well...except for Vivi you see because she's awesome and I can't avoid her." It was true, avoiding the girl would have left her torn. "It should be easy to spend very little time with the others though I suppose." Then she thought about the girl's question. Boy, Cassia just knew how to freak a girl out didn't she. "Umm...let's not think about that part yet or I might change my mind about solving this." She'd had enough of contagious diseases that seemed to only affect the higher years.


The second year rose to her feet and crossed her arms across her chest facing the fountain. She needed concentrating now…They might get cursed! Cassia nodded at Lex saying that they needed to be careful.Then the girl said something about mummies..tombs and stuff. She tipped her chin up and looked at Lex. "Ehh….I do not know what you are talking about.." She said not sure. Was it a common thing that everyone knew about it and only Cassia was clueless about it like always? "Tell me more about this." She said to Lex though she knew she wasn't going to like what she's gonna hear but if this thing was important to help them understand this situation then she needed to know about it.

Cassia wasn't surprised that Lex didn't know that Lafay just had her baby. "Last term's feast she fainted and stuff then we found out that she was pregnant." Cassia told Alexa. And it was the first time she had told someone something they didn't know. She liked the feeling. Then at the mention of sickness ,Cassia paused thinking of the situation. "Actually, I think she is both sick and pregnant." She was a first year then and couldn't keep up with the gossip. "But now I guess she's just sick." She shrugged. Yeah who cares there were more important stuff now. And yeah they shouldn't bother her for their own sake more than hers anyway.

The Slytherin swallowed hard afraid of her own assumptions. She really knew how to freak her own self out. And seeing that Lex was convinced too, made Cassia sure that this was real serious and creepy. The twelve-years old shook her head and sighed, "Though there must be no exceptions," She said. "I think interacting with one cursed person won't be that bad." Wow that sounded creepy. Change her mind..Cassia was a couple of steps to do that! But she needed to feign courage. "N-no..We can't bail on Hogwarts," She said her voice shaking a liiiitle bit. "I-I-I mean we're the school's only hope." Even she found a trouble keeping a straight face saying that.

"Okay, so we should set our strategies." She said sitting on the edge f the fountain again. "Do we tell anyone?" She asked looking up at the lioness.
