Behind the mirror is a secret passageway. Unfortunately it doesn't lead anywhere because of a cave in.

He too followed her example and inspected it. He pulled the edge of the mirror and was surprised to find that it swung open. He smirked mischievously. "Of course." he said as if it never occurred to him to not explore.

He grabbed her hand and pulled out his wand. He whispered a "lumos" and headed in. The air felt a bit stale... which meant it probably didn't go too far... but, it did at least go further than his wand lit.

Marilyn was in wonder at the large piece of glass. He'd said something about the library...Of course Carter didn't go to the library. He was a Quidditch star now. If Marilyn had talent like that, she'd never go to that awful place again.

"What do you suppose we'll find?" Her hand was sweating in his, a sign of the Slytherin's nervous energy. Excitement was coursing through her body. Many didn't know that she enjoyed a bit of sneaking around and exploration. She couldn't help the giggle that escaped her throat..."How gallant of you to go first..."

Carter chuckled. "Probably nothing. I'm pretty sure this school has been cleared of anything remotely dangerous years ago." he said. But still, a hidden passage that lead to nowhere was still a hidden passageway.

He laughed again as he crept forward with his wand held high. "Well, I had to be put in Gryffindor for a reason." he said with a smirk. If there was one thing he was good at it was doing idiotic things first.

He was extremely aware of how dark it was. All of a sudden he was grateful for the darkness. "So. What were you asking me about earlier?" he asked deciding to cash in on the situation. "If I've ever... thought about the past?" Since it was dark he'd be able to hide whatever reaction he had to what she had meant by the question.

Marilyn gave Carter a look and then followed him into the darkness. "I suppose I'm just as foolish for following. Curiosity did kill the cat, you know..." She bite her lip. It wasn't really that she was scared of dark, cramped places...It was being scared of the unknown.

"I must say, you are being very Gryffindorish right now." As they were engulfed by black with just Carter's wand tip, something became immediately apparent to the blonde. In turn, Marilyn smacked herself in the forehead. Literally.

She had forgotten her wand....

When had the Slytherin EVER done that...

Not mentioning it because the blonde felt entirely stupid...~~and hoping he hadn't heard her smack herself~~...she focused on his question...Why had she asked? "Well...you know...when we were together?" Marilyn was so glad Carter could not see her face...because if the heat was any indication, she was tomato red. "...I was curious...You know, because I've...um, been thinking about it."

Carter smiled. "Good thing we're not cats..." he said happily. Of course, being a lion he was related to cats. But, there was no need to mention that.

"Why thank you." he said. That was a compliment right? He was used to snakes throwing around the word 'Gryffindor' like it was an insult. Of course, he'd never taken it to mean that.

He stopped moving for a second after he heard an odd sound. But it soon disappeared and he continued walking.

Although, he was entirely expecting that she might be wondering about their history, it still caught him off guard to hear her say that. And because of his surprise he wasn't paying attention to where he was going.

He walked right into something solid. He rubbed his face where he hit it. He then held his wand higher and examined his surroundings. "Looks like it caved in..." he deduced.

Right. Anyway...

He turned to face her. "Thinking about it... in a good way?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. "Because... I may have been thinking about it too..." he added.

He'd pretty much been thinking about it since she told him that 1) she wasn't over him and 2) she and Rafe were over.

Marilyn held her breath, walking closely behind him. Obviously she'd need Carter's light to see...What a genius she was. Being this close to him, however, was doing some pretty weird things to her. Carter's warmth was radiating off of him like a heater. Of course, she stopped herself before she moved closer.

He just got his heart broken, Marilyn...Carter doesn't need thi-...

Marilyn's train of thought stopped abruptly as she crashed into his back. Her hands darted out to grab onto something before she made the ungraceful fall to the floor. Carter was the only thing close and the blonde grabbed a fistful of his shirt, steadying herself. Muttering a quick apology, her eyes sought out the problem.

"Hmm...I'm guessing battle of Hogwarts..." She added.

Carter turned on her and was saying those words...He'd been thinking about it. She exhaled slowly, trying to calm the giddiness of finding a new place...and the satisfaction of hearing him say that he'd been thinking about it, too. "I mean, in a good way...I try not to think about...the bad parts."

...Not that there had been many bad parts. In reality, Carter and Marilyn had had a great relationship. No fighting, no bickering. "I just miss how easy things use to be." with you...

She was biting that lip again...Chewing on it, really. Her poor lip...

Carter was apparently not the only one not paying attention because Marilyn soon ran into him. He shrugged looking at the wall of rock. "It could be even earlier." He doubted that there was a record. This place was kind of away from everything else. He doubted whether people even knew there was a mirror back here.

He continued staring at the wall as she talked. She thought about him... in a good way. He couldn't help but wonder if she was possibly thinking that same thing he was. Perhaps... they ended prematurely?

"Easy... because we were kids...? Or easy... because we were good together...?" he asked. The answer to that question made all the difference in the world. He wasn't sure whether or not there was a clear distinction between the two. He, himself, couldn't distinguish them. But, on the other hand, they seemed to be getting along just fine recently. So maybe it had nothing to do with their age?

He dared another look at her. She was biting her lip. He remembered that she used to do that. He'd always thought it was cute. ~~And it usually meant that she wanted to be doing something else with them... And considering the current conversation, he guessed yelling was not on her mind.~~

Marilyn looked at the pile of rocks, frowning. Hogwarts, the school itself, had been through so much...just like it's students. But through all of that...the structure was still standing.

It was a testament to how much one could endure...like Marilyn had endured. She knew that what went down was not her fault. It'd taken some time, but she knew that now...However, the Slytherin was grateful. Grateful to have learn such a valuable lesson...Grateful for the rude awakening that changed her life around.

Accountability...for all the people she'd hurt...which had brought Marilyn back here. Here standing in front of someone the Slytherin just recently realized that she'd missed terribly.

Had they been young and immature? Childish, even? Yes, they had...but none of that could take away from the fact that they had been wonderful together. Amazingly wonderful. No fighting, no petty jealously...No fears.

"To be honest....I think...it's equally both." Of course she was biting that lip again, noticing how Carter was looking at her in the dimness of the wand light. His look was searching. "I really...miss that."

We're all the same. We can all do magic, heck, even Muggles aren't so different," he said, nearly laughing at how silly the whole thing seemed. But when he remembered that his own friend had said that about her best friend's father, he thought about it very hard. Finally after a rather long pause, Christopher said thoughtfully, "So does that mean I'm a mudblood with no morals, or what? Because I certainly do have morals, just as your father certainly does. I also find it incredibly hard to believe that Elektra would say something like that. She seems like such a nice girl. Spunky, but nice."

The more they spoke of it, the more Christopher actually wanted to drive. Especially with his hopefully soon to be sister. "Come on, Sel! I've ridden in those things hundreds of times! Muggles use them just as much as wizards apperate and use Floo! Cars are made for safety, there even about a bazillion laws just for auto safety! Please Selina, you'll never know that you hate it or like it if you never even try!" he said, trying his best to persuade her.

Selina nodded, "Oh no she is very spunky and awesome. She's one of my best friends and I adore her. She doesn't mean any harm by it. Honestly." Prejudice was just entwined in the Magical world. It wasn't a big deal to Selina, it was the way she grew up.

"NO!" No driving for Selina. She hid her face behind her hands and said, "Selina isn't here."

"But Selina, you shouldn't have to deal with all this prejudice. No one should! I mean, it isn't acceptable for Muggles to do it, so why should witches and wizards?" he asked, wondering why people always had to think that they were better than others. Social classes, blood statuses, segregation; all of it was just ridiculous and flat out wrong.

Chrisotpher laughed. "Okay...... I guess Selina isn't here..... Maybe I'll just have to move in with Violet then instead...." he teased, pretending that he was walking away, in a very goofy manner.

Carter grinned. "Funny. I was thinking the same thing." He turned his attention back to the caved-in passageway for a second. "You know, if how things are between us now is any indication... I'm not sure age would have made a difference between us. I'm not sure about you. But... it's almost like we've... I dunno... picked up where we left off."

Marilyn had always made him feel carefree and almost invincible. Even now, despite having a million things on his mind, he didn't feel any of the stress and worry that had been there minutes before. In fact, he felt more than ever, that things would be fine and he made the right choice.

He put his arm around her shoulders. "Well. I think we can work something out so you won't have to miss me so much." he said with a smirk and a wink. "Although, I hope you won't get tired of me. We do have to stuff a few years of missed time in the time we have left."

"It's just the way it is. It's always been that way and saying it isn't right really doesn't mean anything. People do what they have been raised to do. And Elektra was raised by the worst of it."

Selina broke into hysterical laughter, "Yeah okay, like Violet's Dad would let you live under his roof with his daughter who is madly in love with you. Good luck with that plan, Christopher." He was out of his mind thinking that Mr. Harper would allow him to move in with them. They were a nice family... but he was Violet's boyfriend. That was that.

With the way he was looking at her and talking...She couldn't be sure...

"Carter?" She'd meant for his name to come out a bit stronger...but all that was managed was a weak whisper. Thank Merlin it was dark...and he couldn't see her face clearly. She cleared her throat, trying to abate the heat rising in her cheeks. "What did you have in mind?"

"Advantage of you? No way. I know much better than to attempt to take advantage of you." Carter said with a little chuckle. "The situation. Well... I might be using that bit to my advantage."

Hmm... what exactly did he have in mind?

"Well... I mean... you're enjoying this right?" he asked. "I mean, spending time together." ~~And not necessarily in abandoned corridors.~~ He felt a slight pang of guilt. He was sure that this is not what Rafe had in mind when he asked Carter to watch after Marilyn. But then again, they were broken up. That meant Marilyn was free to pursue other Gryffindors, right? And by other Gryffindors, Carter was of course referring to himself.

He ran a hand through his hair. "I'm not saying that there has to be anything official or anything... I'm sure your faith in guys isn't the strongest at the moment..." He was rambling.

"You know how you told me that you weren't over me yet...?" he asked. "What would you say if I told you that I didn't want you to be?"

Marilyn smirked when he said the part about not taking advantage of her...She thought that Carter had to be the only teenage male in existence who'd ever even uttered those words. "The situation? You mean having me all to yourself in this dark, deserted nook." Because Carter wasn't able to see her face, the blonde could disguise her voice as light and playful...when in reality she was desperately hanging on his every word.

There was a strange silence growing in the small, confinded area...as Marilyn fully took in everything Carter was saying.

He hadn't wanted her to...

That had to mean that...he wasn't over her yet, either.

A stupid grin broke out over her features...and once again she was grateful for the darkness. Taking another minute or two to calm the spike in her heart, Marilyn sighed. "Are you being completely serious right now?"

Her heart felt strange in her chest, making weird palpations. If Carter was playing with her right now...she'd hurt him.

"Or having you alone in general." Carter said with a smile. "What can I say, I enjoy being in good company. And having said company all to myself makes it even better." He gave Marilyn a playful little nudge.

He smiled. "Completely." he said. Plus, it wasn't really his style to joke about such things. "I just think things feel..." Too right to be wrong? Like they shouldn't have ended? Like there was a reason things didn't work out with Marie or Caroline? He wasn't about to use a dumb cliche.

He turned to face her. The view from his lit wand had never looked so good. Marilyn looked as beautiful as ever, despite the limited blue-hued lighting. He immediately lost his train of thought. In fact, all that was on his mind was her and how he felt that there was way too much space between the two of them despite him currently having his arm around her.

Way. Too. Much. And he wanted nothing more than that to change.

"Hey, now...No damaging the goods." Marilyn laughed, bringing her hand up to gently massage the place he'd touched...Something was stirring in her chest. She hadn't experienced it in a while...and if the blonde were being honest with herself, she'd almost forgot what it felt like...Adoration.

When he'd uttered that one word, Marilyn sighed. A feeling of perfect calm was washing over her entire being. Completely...

"Carter?" She was scared to ask...and then he'd shined the wand light a little higher. To get a better look at her, most likely. The blonde shied away, immediately, though. If Carter looked her in the face, he'd see everything she was thinking at that moment. Marilyn was unsure if that would be a good idea. She knew she'd hurt him...but she didn't want to get hurt herself. What if the Gryffindor was just joking around? What if this was just a joke and he didn't mean it?

She was biting her lip again, still looking away from him. "You shouldn't play with girls emotions, Carter..." Her tone was meant to be playful...but failed.

Carter chuckled. "I'd never dream of doing that." he said. She was joking around. That was a good sign, right?

Did she really not believe him...? He felt a sudden urge to tell her everything that Rafe had told him. The he knew everything and understood if she was scared.

But he didn't. He didn't want her to know that he knew. If she had wanted him to know already she would have told him herself. But he wanted her to know that she didn't need to be afraid anymore.

"How would you like to get away from the castle, and magic, and everything this summer?" he asked. "I can't promise it'll be super exciting, but I'm sure it would be fun. That dream you've never had about traveling the country with a muggle family will come true." he said with a cheesy smile.

He took her hand. "You don't have to decide now though. On anything. And both things -- or either -- stand whatever you decide."

"How would you like to get away from the castle, and magic, and everything this summer?" he asked. "I can't promise it'll be super exciting, but I'm sure it would be fun. That dream you've never had about traveling the country with a muggle family will come true." he said with a cheesy smile.

He took her hand. "You don't have to decide now though. On anything. And both things -- or either -- stand whatever you decide."

Had Carter just invited her to spend the summer with him...and his muggle family?

Marilyn was stunned. No one had ever really asked her to spend vacation with them...and he was telling her how much he still cared for her. Her face reflected her shock. "You really want me to go with you and your family?"

She was a little disbelieving...A lot of things had happened to her...and she just lacked trust. "You aren't just doing this out of pity, are you?" The blonde gave him a playful look, masking her suspicion. "This is a big step, you know?"

Selina broke into hysterical laughter, "Yeah okay, like Violet's Dad would let you live under his roof with his daughter who is madly in love with you. Good luck with that plan, Christopher." He was out of his mind thinking that Mr. Harper would allow him to move in with them. They were a nice family... but he was Violet's boyfriend. That was that.

Christopher found it rather agitating that Selina wasn't bothered in the least that people were being judged and facing prejudice because of their blood status. Didn't she care about justice at all? "Selina, things don't have to be that way! Have you seen my mother? She raised me, and I'm not like her! Not at all!" he said, determined to prove his point. She thinks anyone that's different deserves to be punished by death. She gave birth to and raised Elyon. Need I say more? Just because you were raised a certain way, that doesn't mean you can't have your own ideas about things."

Christopher took up a blush and gave a nervous laugh. He was really uncomfortable when she said that Violet was madly in love with him. It just felt so wrong. He wasn't even sure what love was, he was only fourteen years old for goodness sake's! It made the boy think of how much he was putting her though, and that he was dragging her down. He was so afraid Vi's dad would hate him, and that was before he'd have to go to the funeral.
