"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.
Alexa's eyes followed the girl as she got up from her seat and folded her arms. Good to know the girl was starting to think. She slouched a bit and ran her fingers through the water as she waited for her to sort things through in her head. Critical thinking was key right now.--HUH? Wait...she
wanted her to tell her more about those mummy curses and stuff??? Ahem. She could so do this.
"Well they usually happen in like Egypt 'cause that's where most mummies are and you see most curses are in these things called pyramids which actually have dead people in them. Now the scary thing is that the dead people can curse you if you go snooping around in their graves." Which was why they needed to be careful when they were snooping around with this curse thing.
She straightened a bit as the girl told her of the Potions Mistress fainting then the discovery that she was pregnant. Seemed like quite a bit happened before she got to the school.
"...That's uh...that's pretty interesting..." Who the hell thought it would've been a good idea to make that woman a mother?!?!?! Had the whole world gone mad?! All she could do was nodd at that last part while she thought. So she was still sick. Pity.
Lex nearly hopped up when she heard her say there could be no exception--NO; Vivi was always the exception! But then...it seemed Cassia was making an exception to that whole exception rule. She could calm down.
"Good. Glad you agree...besides..I don't think she's got the curse anyway..." The girl was anything but boring! Now that that was settled.
"Right! We can't give up on them just yet! They still need us!" And she wouldn't stop until the curse was gone. This was serious business; they couldn't afford to slack off.
Cassia sitting again meant she might have been thinking even straighter. Lex shook her head slowly at her question.
"Nah...we're not sure who's infected and we don't wanna risk anyone finding out that we know..." Her eyes widened a bit.
"They might get vicious..." Most older kids were vicious and adding the curse would've made them worse.
