Default The Front Gate


Strong iron gates prevent students from getting out while making sure anything unwanted stays out. They can only be opened by the Professors and Staff and are always open on Hogsmeade weekends to allow for passage to the village.

Janice went near the front gate, to see her last year's pine tree growing. She noticed that it has grown over the summer holidays, and went back inside the castle before anyone could see her wandering.

Carter headed out to the Front Gate. He had screwed up... big time... and was prepared to grovel.

That was, as soon as he found the Ravenclaw that he needed to talk with.

He'd already checked the library and saw no sign of his friend... so he was in the next logical spot. Her special "thinking space."

He took a seat on his customary rock and waited for the girl to make an appearance.

...He hoped she'd show up before dinnertime. He was already starting to get a bit hungry.

There was only one place she could go when she was like this and that was just where she was going. It was her special spot and it was always the first place she would go to think. Merlin, did she need to think right now.

Mina didn't like to avoid things and she had promised herself that she would stop it, but she was still rather peeved at the whole thing. She wasn't that silly firstie any more and one would think she wouldn't be feeling like this, but she was hurt more than anything now.

They had gone through so much and this was how she was repaid?!?!

Yes, they had their rows and what not, but never had she been treated as so! She would always have to compete with certain girls throughout her life, but never did she think that her own bestie would disregard her in such a way. Seriously, she thought she knew him and she was obviously wrong.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

She was done with it now. It was pretty obvious that he had made his decision and she had made hers. Their friendship wasn't worth as much to him as it meant to her and the acts and secrets of his summer would end their friendship.

It made her sad, but she wasn't about to go through it again.

Gossip and rumours only lead to heartbreak and she wasn't about to go through yet another year of them. This was going to be their shiny year and if that meant she would have to go it bestie-less, so be it. There were other friends she had and Evan would always be there for her.

Clearing the path, she looked to her rock and stopped. There he was sitting and she wasn't sure what to do. A part of her was happy to see him, but another larger part of her was upset that he would encroach on her special place like so.

Looking around, she had to make sure he was alone. If he would have brought her, the decision to end their friendship would be so much easier as she would know for sure that their friendship meant nothing to him.

"Carter," she voiced curtly as she walked pass and sat a top her rock.

Carter frowned. Mina was mad. Worse than their second year mad. And he knew why. But he had a perfectly good explanation for everything. At least, he thought it was perfectly good.

"Listen... I know you're mad at me. And you... and Anya... and really everyone involved has a right to be. I screwed up. I really did mean for you to be there. You're my best friend. The one person who has stuck by me with all the stupid mistakes I've made since I got here."

He took a deep breath. He'd been rehearsing those words for the past few days now. He just hoped it was enough to keep her there long enough to explain.

"I'm an idiot." he said finally. "And I know you've known it for a long time. And I'm not going to even bother denying it. I do stupid things. It's who I am."

"She found my badge. That's how she found out. I was still hoping there'd be time at the end of the summer... or maybe over Christmas to do it right. I shouldn't have. It was just... after the fight with Marie... and losing Caroline... I dunno... I guess I lost it. I wanted to get as far away as possible from all of this. Just for a summer."

Of course, after Rafe told him about Marilyn there was really no way that he could avoid magic completely. And he'd get to that... eventually. As long as she didn't walk away.

He hoped she wouldn't do that.

He hoped she wouldn't do that.
Folding her arms across her chest after setting her bag down, she looked to Carter. He deserved to get to tell his side and explain himself, but she also deserved a lot too. She had been through hades and back with him and the lies and secrets from their summer only acted to distance them from each other again.

"If you think this is me mad, Carter Scott Phillips. You really don't know me at all," she snapped as she rolled her eyes. She was trying to same calm, but there was still a lot of anger in her at the moment. "Seriously, I think screwed up doesn't even start to cover it and I don't want to hear it how you did mean for me to be there! I wasn't there when I had planned and promised to be there." Broken promises! "You know how much I HATE to break promises!" Yes, she had stuck by him through so much and being tossed to the side once again was her reward. "Yeah, I'm your best friend and that means that I'm the one that gets tossed to the side when the pretty ex girlfriend comes back into the picture."

Having enough of sitting she stood up and started pacing. She would be lying if she said that there wasn't still some nasty feelings brewing inside her from their earlier days at Hogwarts and she had tried to calm them, but after seven years they might have gotten out of control.

"Idiot? Phillips, that doesn't even start to cover it!" she scoffed. She had always known he was one, but this time her had royally messed up and the term was too tame for the mess he was in now. She had always expected that about him before, but there had to come a time for him to learn just what he was doing.

"We can't take back how Anya found out, but you could have handled it better! You should have told me what was happening and not lied to me. I'm your best friend for merlin's sake! But no....I have to find out our whole summer plan was cancelled! Not from you but some other people!" She was livid now as she stopped pacing and stared at her bestie. "You know I know A LOT about being selfish and I have had my moments, but I HAVE NEVER LIED TO YOU!"

There hadn't been a moment where she intentionally lied to him and to know that he had lied to her in such a way, only served to slap her in the face. She had been able to forgive him for so much, but this might take the cake for sure!

"You what you're problem is? You can't be alone! You lost Marie and then you lost Caroline. You messed up but you couldn't just leave it could you! You wanted a summer away from it all, yet you take MARILYN on your summer vacation! Yeah that's really going to solve anything! I have stood aside for you and Marie. Merlin, I'm still slightly threatened by what Marie and Evan had, but never had I felt like a second-class citizen as you made me feel this summer!"

Coming in second wasn't a feeling that she enjoyed and it sure didn't feel great to her the second/third time around and she was at her wit's end now.

"I have never truly put Evan before you and I will never do that, but you CONSTANTLY put her before me and you know what, I'll make this easier for you now! You have Marilyn again, so I'm OUT! NO NEED FOR ME NOW"

Yeah, make it easy on him and just walk away for good. She had reasoned with herself since the train and it was the only way. There wasn't much of a friendship left if she was just going to keep being stepped on.

The small twelve-year-old stood there, her hands touching, but not holding onto the front gate. She stared out, looking at something. She was in her pajamas still, though it was almost nine. Her bottoms were plain black and loose. Her top, quite the opposite. It was white, and fitted, and sprawled across it was her family crest. Her hair fell down in that messy I-just-woke-up sort of wave. Presley just stood there and watched outside of the gate. If a person was close enough, they might notive that she was softly singing. Probably not though, for it was so quiet, sometimes Presley couldn't even hear it. She didn't quite know what she was waiting for, but without motivation to move, to go anywhere or to do anything else, she just stayed there. She'd woken up with that weird feeling. The apathetic one. The kind that persisted all day, or until someone yanked her out of it. She'd wandered down to the gate, and been there ever since.

Yeah, make it easy on him and just walk away for good. She had reasoned with herself since the train and it was the only way. There wasn't much of a friendship left if she was just going to keep being stepped on.



"Okay. Well what do you want me to do Mina?" Carter asked throwing his hands up. "I'm sorry, but breaking the news to Anya was the last thing on my mind at the end of the term." Okay, so that wasn't exactly the truth... more like, the breakup with Caroline was in so much the fore-front of his mind that everything else didn't really matter.

"This has nothing to do with any of my ex-girlfriends. You were not thrown aside. In fact, it's pretty ridiculous to even suggest that. And the only reason she's 'back in the picture' as you say, is because she was there for me during a time you weren't." Mainly, the end of last term when she was continually off with Evan. He understood, of course, that she'd want to be with Evan during their last few months together. But she couldn't blame him for finding someone else to talk to.

His jaw dropped. "I have never lied to you. When I told you that I wanted to get away for awhile over the summer -- that was the truth. The addition to my summer plans happened after that. And that has nothing to do with this." But he wasn't going to go into why Marilyn joined him over the summer. That was Marilyn's business.

"Why do you assume it was me who messed up?" he found himself shouting. "You know what happened with Marie. I admit, maybe what I did wasn't the smartest, but I thought I was doing the right thing." Not that it mattered now of course. He and Marie were never speaking again.

As for Caroline... "Did it occur to you that maybe, just maybe, there was a reason that I was so upset at the end of last term?. Caroline broke up with me. Not the other way around." And yes, it still hurt.

"Yes Marilyn went on vacation with me. Is that why you're so angry? You have problem with who comes on vacation with me? Mina, we're friends, best friends. Maybe I was interested in introducing Marilyn as more than a friend to my family? Does that bother you? Would you rather us do more than friend things together?"

Good thing he said that he never lied to her before he said that.

"Put who before you Mina? What do you think I did? Stayed up late one night laughing to myself for coming up with the perfect plan to get you mad at me? That I purposefully dropped my badge? That I really enjoyed not having my family speak to me? That I really enjoy being muggleborn and everything that comes with that?"

He had more things to be upset about than she did!

"Or are you really upset that Marilyn was the one that was there for me when I needed someone? Even Destiny beat you to the punch there too." Or maybe she was upset that she never got to spend a summer with him?

If she was that willing to just walk away maybe they weren't as best friends as he thought they were.

He sighed. This was going nowhere. Maybe he should just get to the bottom line.

"Yes I canceled our plans. No, it wasn't because of Marilyn. Yes I invited her. But that wasn't because I uninvited you. Nor was it because she's more important than you."

"Yes I canceled our plans. No, it wasn't because of Marilyn. Yes I invited her. But that wasn't because I uninvited you. Nor was it because she's more important than you."

"Seriously, I don't even what I ever expect for you to do!" Mina yelled back. "Of course, I should have realized that you would have absolutely NO tack at all! You just left her with questions. YES, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS WAS TO YOU, BUT SHE'S YOUR SISTER!" Was it really that hard to put someone that was blood before himself. "You should have at least tried to talk to her about it before just running off. If I was her, I wouldn't even look at you for the way you treated this. In fact, I'm not even sure why I'm talking to you now. You handled this terrible and to make it worst, you made me feel like trash too!"

"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TELL ME THAT I WASN'T THROWN ASIDE! I have been constantly looked over in the SEVEN years we have known each other. I'm just poor little Mina, just one of you FANGIRLS. What you didn't think I knew about what they were all saying about me?!?!" Just because she didn't say anything about all the whispers about her being a lovesick puppy, didn't mean that she didn't know they were all talking about her. She wasn't stupid. "And what? You blame me for moving on? I wasn't going to keep waiting in the wings for you! I was there for you all that time and the one time that I want to have for my own, I'm punished for?" Seriously, was he really this blind to see what was going on? "You knew where to find me, but no you NEVER came looking for me, did you? It's was always easier to go to one of them. You did always have a thing for the blondes, but you know what? I still stood by you when each one of them broke your heart. I didn't completely shun you. I was still your bloody BEST FRIEND, but it's over now. I'm through with it all." She never replaced Carter with Evan and she would never do that. There were always going to be things that she could only tell Carter & not Evan and vice versa. She had always thought their friendship was sacred, but she was apparently very wrong.

Turning quickly, she jaw dropped as well. "NEVER lied?" she scoffed as she began to poke him in the chest. "Omission of the truth is just as much! You wanted you distance away from magic. Fine, I can understand that. Merlin, I want that sometimes too! I live in the middle of bloody MUGGLE LONDON, so I understand." Seriously, she spent a lot of her time away from Hogwarts trying to be as normal as she could. She was living amongst muggle and only using magic when needed. She truly understood, but that wasn't what upset her. "I don't care that things changed. What HURT the most was NOT BEING TOLD! I had planned on seeing you, planned on being there for YOU. And you know how I find out about the change? I have to find out from ANYA! I don't hear it from my bestie, I had to hear it from your sister! The sister that I promised I would be seeing. I had planned to so much for use to do and I was looking forward to seeing that little girl. And don't EVEN TRY to say that I had Evan over the summer! I only had TEN days with him! I needed to see Anya, she was going to be what keep me sane the rest of my summer! Do you even know how LONELY I was? Or did you even care?" She knew deep down that he did care but she had to wonder now. This wasn't the boy that she was once in love with. This wasn't the Carter she thought she knew.

Rolling her eyes, she looked at him. "Because you always mess up. You have no tack when it comes to the girls around you and I have told you that many times. You are destined to break the hearts of every girl that you come close to!" He was so dim and at one point she had found it adorable, but now it only made her angry. "Seriously, right by whom? You two royally messed each other up. There is damage there that will NEVER be undone or able to be fixed. You know I never set out to be close to Marie. Merlin, you know how much I hated her before; but I know how damaged you left her and I can't forget how it feels to be made to feel like that. You really did a number on her when you did that. No one deserves something like that and I wouldn't wish that on even my worst enemy." It was true that she never thought she would be defending that particular She-Snake, but it had happened none the less.

"How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine? She dumped you and ended it. She took that power you had to hurt her away before you could use it. Don't you understand? The way she made you feel is the way you make a lot of us feel! That feeling of complete anguish and you can't breathe, yeah I know how that feel. I've had that feeling for the past SEVEN years, but I thought that I could control it. It hurts doesn't it? Well, welcome to my world. I won't be completely heartless and say that I'm happy that you know what it feels like, but what goes around comes around." It was pure karma that he was feeling what she had felt for so long and she hated to think that he was hurting, but she was hurting too.

"If I asked you to pick between the two of us, you would pick her. You always did! That vacation should have been the one you had with ME. You owed me that after all you put me through! I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU FOR TWO YEARS! But you never realized did you? I was in love with you before that stupid love potion and after it, but you never looked at me that way. Just poor Mina fawning over a boy that would never see her that way. You know what being in love with you got me?" She stepped back and lifted her bangs. "A bloody scar from when your precious Marilyn hit me with a set of scales. I can't even look at my reflection without being reminded of what having feeling for you got me! You taking her was yet another reminded to me that I wasn't pretty enough for you, I wasn't blonde enough. I WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU. So yes that bothers me! I wanted you to introduce me to your family as just more than your best friend. I wanted to do more than friends things together. I wanted it all, but you just had to rub it in my face that I would never be that girl!"

Blink....Blink.

Yes, she had just let that all out and before she even let him reply she started again.

"I don't even understand how you can't even start to understand how you make me feel. You put Marilyn before me our whole first year, then it was Marilyn and Marie our second and then Marie our third year. You were always putting them before me. Did you ever think of how I might have felt? That second year, I was dragged to Hades and back! Do you even understand what I went through? And then our third year! I needed someone there for me and you WEREN'T there!" The dam had just completely opened and the waterworks were on their way completely now. "I really don't know what goes on in that head of yours and I don't want to know now. I don't ever want to know. If you ever wanted to now the perfect way to get me mad at you, you have found it and you have been working at it for years. I doubt you would purposefully drop that badge, but it happened and you can't just try to rationalize it away. It happened and you have to deal with it. It could have been avoided you know that, but you choose to just ignore it and not face it when you needed to. She has a right to be angry with you! You think that I'm happy to be a pureblood all the time? You think that I want to be forced into things that are expected of me. Do you even know just because I choose to come back last year, HALF OF MY FAMILY isn't speaking to me! I'm dirtying my life having a boyfriend that is pursuing a life in the muggle world! Did you even know that those summers I was sent away and those two terms I was at Beauxbatons were my family's way of trying to 'cure' me of all this foolishness! They intended to marry me off by now! Being pureblood isn't all roses either, so don't even start to tell me that you are a victim!" Seriously, the world didn't revolve around him and he needed to start realizing that everyone had problems too!

Just as she was starting to control her emotions, she heard the next words leave his lips and she saw red.

WHACK

Lowering her hand, she balled it in a fist and stared at Carter. She had never been so upset in her life.

"Don't belittle me like that! I was there for you all the time, but can you seriously say the same thing for me? When I needed you, where were you? The one time that I needed my best friend and he was off with someone else!" She was sobbing at this point. In the back of her mind, she knew it was only time before she let it all out. She just never expected it to be like this and so soon. "You didn't even give me the chance to be there for you! You just ran off with Marilyn, like you always do. And don't even bring Destiny into this! I can't hate her for being Destiny. It wasn't like she couldn't avoid being there! "

"Of course, I'm jealous and upset for being so easily replaced time and time again. I seriously thought I meant more to you, but you just proved me wrong. Again, I'm just not good enough for you, am I? You expected me to be there but the rare moment I'm not you replace me. When I needed you, you weren't there and I'm sure you blame me for that too. Don't you!" If all the stuff she had already let out wasn't enough, she was about to let even more out in her state of emotions.

"You want to know why I love Evan so much? He was there for me when I needed him. He was there even when I didn't need him and he helped me. I love him because he makes me feel that I'm good enough for him. I'm important to him." Without him, she probably would still be chasing after the thought that one day she could be good enough for her best friend. She knew she should just cut all ties to what hurt her, but she did love her best friend and nothing would stop that. "Every day he makes me feel that what I feel for him isn't wasted. You never made me feel like that; he helped me mend what you kept breaking."

"Yes, you cancelled our plans and broke my heart. You invited her and stabbed me in my heart. You failed to tell me and you just twisted that knife. You made it clear that she'll always be more important than me and there isn't any more I can really do now. I'm walking away like I should have a long time ago. You have made your decision and I hope you know that you'll probably get hurt again, but I won't be around to pick up the piece this time. I can't keep helping you when you keep hurting me."

YES, I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS WAS TO YOU, BUT SHE'S YOUR SISTER!" Was it really that hard to put someone that was blood before himself. "You should have at least tried to talk to her about it before just running off. If I was her, I wouldn't even look at you for the way you treated this. In fact, I'm not even sure why I'm talking to you now. You handled this terrible and to make it worst, you made me feel like trash too!"

"DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO TELL ME THAT I WASN'T THROWN ASIDE! I have been constantly looked over in the SEVEN years we have known each other. I'm just poor little Mina, just one of you FANGIRLS. What you didn't think I knew about what they were all saying about me?!?!" Just because she didn't say anything about all the whispers about her being a lovesick puppy, didn't mean that she didn't know they were all talking about her. She wasn't stupid. "And what? You blame me for moving on? I wasn't going to keep waiting in the wings for you! I was there for you all that time and the one time that I want to have for my own, I'm punished for?" Seriously, was he really this blind to see what was going on? "You knew where to find me, but no you NEVER came looking for me, did you? It's was always easier to go to one of them. You did always have a thing for the blondes, but you know what? I still stood by you when each one of them broke your heart. I didn't completely shun you. I was still your bloody BEST FRIEND, but it's over now. I'm through with it all." She never replaced Carter with Evan and she would never do that. There were always going to be things that she could only tell Carter & not Evan and vice versa. She had always thought their friendship was sacred, but she was apparently very wrong.

Turning quickly, she jaw dropped as well. "NEVER lied?" she scoffed as she began to poke him in the chest. "Omission of the truth is just as much! You wanted you distance away from magic. Fine, I can understand that. Merlin, I want that sometimes too! I live in the middle of bloody MUGGLE LONDON, so I understand." Seriously, she spent a lot of her time away from Hogwarts trying to be as normal as she could. She was living amongst muggle and only using magic when needed. She truly understood, but that wasn't what upset her. "I don't care that things changed. What HURT the most was NOT BEING TOLD! I had planned on seeing you, planned on being there for YOU. And you know how I find out about the change? I have to find out from ANYA! I don't hear it from my bestie, I had to hear it from your sister! The sister that I promised I would be seeing. I had planned to so much for use to do and I was looking forward to seeing that little girl. And don't EVEN TRY to say that I had Evan over the summer! I only had TEN days with him! I needed to see Anya, she was going to be what keep me sane the rest of my summer! Do you even know how LONELY I was? Or did you even care?" She knew deep down that he did care but she had to wonder now. This wasn't the boy that she was once in love with. This wasn't the Carter she thought she knew.

Rolling her eyes, she looked at him. "Because you always mess up. You have no tack when it comes to the girls around you and I have told you that many times. You are destined to break the hearts of every girl that you come close to!" He was so dim and at one point she had found it adorable, but now it only made her angry. "Seriously, right by whom? You two royally messed each other up. There is damage there that will NEVER be undone or able to be fixed. You know I never set out to be close to Marie. Merlin, you know how much I hated her before; but I know how damaged you left her and I can't forget how it feels to be made to feel like that. You really did a number on her when you did that. No one deserves something like that and I wouldn't wish that on even my worst enemy." It was true that she never thought she would be defending that particular She-Snake, but it had happened none the less.

"How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine? She dumped you and ended it. She took that power you had to hurt her away before you could use it. Don't you understand? The way she made you feel is the way you make a lot of us feel! That feeling of complete anguish and you can't breathe, yeah I know how that feel. I've had that feeling for the past SEVEN years, but I thought that I could control it. It hurts doesn't it? Well, welcome to my world. I won't be completely heartless and say that I'm happy that you know what it feels like, but what goes around comes around." It was pure karma that he was feeling what she had felt for so long and she hated to think that he was hurting, but she was hurting too.

"If I asked you to pick between the two of us, you would pick her. You always did! That vacation should have been the one you had with ME. You owed me that after all you put me through! I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU FOR TWO YEARS! But you never realized did you? I was in love with you before that stupid love potion and after it, but you never looked at me that way. Just poor Mina fawning over a boy that would never see her that way. You know what being in love with you got me?" She stepped back and lifted her bangs. "A bloody scar from when your precious Marilyn hit me with a set of scales. I can't even look at my reflection without being reminded of what having feeling for you got me! You taking her was yet another reminded to me that I wasn't pretty enough for you, I wasn't blonde enough. I WASN'T ENOUGH FOR YOU. So yes that bothers me! I wanted you to introduce me to your family as just more than your best friend. I wanted to do more than friends things together. I wanted it all, but you just had to rub it in my face that I would never be that girl!"

Blink....Blink.

Yes, she had just let that all out and before she even let him reply she started again.

"I don't even understand how you can't even start to understand how you make me feel. You put Marilyn before me our whole first year, then it was Marilyn and Marie our second and then Marie our third year. You were always putting them before me. Did you ever think of how I might have felt? That second year, I was dragged to Hades and back! Do you even understand what I went through? And then our third year!

”Don’t pretend you know what’s best for my family or what happened that day.” Carter retorted. ”I have been trying to talk to her about it. She just… overreacted. I’m pretty sure everyone like us does that.” Not that Mina would know about finding out about magic randomly. ”And it’s not like I didn’t want to tell her earlier. You know I couldn’t though. What if they were to take her away.” He didn’t specify who ’who’ was… but there were plenty of people that would have removed her had something slipped too soon. ”She’s not my real sister. I don’t think the same rules apply.”

What are you talking about Mina? Fangirls? What does that even mean?” And why was she shouting that at him? ”What who said about you? Mina I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

And now she was talking about moving on…?

He blinked a few times. Did she just say she was done being friends? For the first time in his life he felt like he might just completely lose it. He lost Marie. He lost Caroline. And now he was losing Mina.

He followed after her. ”I was going to tell you. I tell you everything. It’s not my fault someone beat me to it. What did you want me to do? Illegally apparate and come see you? Send you a letter through the muggle post? I would have called…” If he knew what her phone number was.
”Of course I care Mina. That doesn’t mean I can do always do something about it.” This summer was every bit as much for his family as it was for him. ”I can’t make everyone happy all the time!” So Mina was lonely. What should he have done? That was his last summer as a muggle. He was going and doing something his parents would never understand. Did nobody understand that?

”Why do people continually blame what happened on me?” he shouted back. ”As I recall, as soon as I came to I headed straight for the Slytherin table and apologized. I chased her into the hall begging her to forgive me for something I had no control over!” And nobody ever thought to blame that on Destiny. It was her bloody potion!!! It wasn’t like Carter enjoyed talking in rhymes and singing. Not that he remembered it… Marie was the one that walked out on me.” And since then the girl had done nothing but ruin the happiness he was slowly gaining back.

*blink blink* What did she mean us? When did he ever hurt Mina? When would he have broken her heart? They were friends. They’ve always been friends.

”Is that what you want Mina? Do you want me to choose? Go ahead. Why don’t you ask then?” He would never have asked her to choose between he and Evan. Although it was widely known that he didn’t like the Slytherin, he supported her happiness.

O_o

Well, that answered that question.

He stood there speechless for several minutes. ”Mina…” he whispered quietly. He had no idea. He had no idea about any of it. The whole time he was coming to her with problems about the other girls in his life. That whole time…

Then he got smacked. His eyes watered slightly. Mina hit harder than any bludger he’d come across. So she couldn’t blame Destiny for being there for him… but she had no problem blaming Marilyn? Of course, he was too shocked to voice this. He was really too shocked to react in any way.

It was nearly a minute after she stopped yelling that he found his voice again.

”Mina. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, okay? For everything.” Of course… he knew that wouldn’t be enough. Not after the way she went on…

”Mina. Don’t go. You are important to me. More important than you’ll ever know. Those two terms you were gone… I missed you like crazy.” And it wasn’t just because of what happened with Marie. ”You’ve always been important to me. Ever since the day we met. Yes, I knew then. You’re just special. I don’t want you to walk away without hearing that. I love you Mina. You’re my oldest, closest, and very best friend. You know if you asked me to do anything for you I’d do it in a heartbeat.”

”So go ahead Mina. Tell me what you want me to do. I’ll do it. No questions asked.”

Even if that thing was to let her walk away.

”So go ahead Mina. Tell me what you want me to do. I’ll do it. No questions asked.”

Even if that thing was to let her walk away.

Being angry at him right now was the easiest way that she could deal with what was happening. She wanted to yell and scream at him, have it complete out with him and see how it all would play out. She really did owe it to herself to just have them hash it out. If she would have been strong enough all those years ago, she wouldn't be in the position she was now. She was torn and already on the verge of losing everything she had bottled up for so long. That wasn't the Bennett way, she wasn't supposed to let them see how weak and vulnerable she was. No, she needed to hold it together, but again he always had a way of doing this to her and she allowed it time and time again.

"I wouldn't have to pretend if I was THERE," Mina yelled back. "I know you tried and of course she is overreacting! That's what girls do and I would think you would understand that by now!" Seriously, he was really dim and it only came through more and more each year. "Do you seriously think that I don't understand what kind of pressure you were under? Do you think I'm a complete idiot and think that I didn't think about how you could possible feel about having to keep it a secret? Like I would try to sugar-coat what was happening. I know what could have happened and if it would have been better for me to just tell her, I would have and I would have just taken the blame, but you didn't even allow me that chance did you?" She could have always told Anya that she was a witch and maybe that would have soften the blow but she never did get that chance. "You know just keeping it from her makes her think that everything is a LIE and that you don't trust her!" Hearing the next words coming from his lips, she gasped. "I can't believe you just said that! She's your SISTER still, it doesn't matter if there is blood there or not. How can you even say that about Anya. I'm ashamed at you for even thinking it, much less saying it out loud!" She had blood sisters and she wasn't as close to them as she saw Carter and Anya to be. Hearing him say such a thing only broke her heart more.

Rolling her eyes, she clutched her fists at her side. Was he really that oblivious to EVERYTHING?!?!

"I'm sure you and your Gryffindor friends all had a fun time laughing at the fact that you have all the girls following after you. I'm not stupid and I heard what your own friends called me behind my back." She was pretty sure his 'closest' quidditch friends all called her that and the thought that her own cousin might have known about it stung a little as well. "Don't play stupid with me. I know better! I have brothers and laughing at girls is a past time for them. Apparently stringing them along to get a laugh is as well. Just ask your friends!" Really the only two that she was certain didn't belittle her with the title was Josh and Patrolcus. If they had joined in she would have just stayed away at Beauxbatons forever and forgot about the place she thought was her home.

He was following her now and she just wanted to get away from him. She could have walked away so many time, but she didn't have the energy. This time, she knew it was for the best and she needed to walk away before more was said. She needed to retain some of her self and protect what she still could.

Stopping she turned to poke him in the chest again. "When?!?!? Were you going to wait all summer to tell me that 'oh by the way, I know I wanted a magic-free summer, I'm going to Puddlemere and wait, Marilyn is coming with me.' I understand that making their team was a once in a lifetime thing, I understand completely; but seriously a magic-free summer doesn't involve a city that muggles can't even see! I'm not even sure if you were ever going to tell me about the summer. Know what gets me about finding out the way I did? Once I found out you didn't do ANYTHING. You just let me know. You didn't EVEN TRY to explain yourself to me. You just EXPECTED that it would blow over, didn't you?" She felt completely slighted by his lack of understand where she was coming from. "And you bloody know you could have sent me a muggle post! I LIVE IN MUGGLE LONDON! IT WOULD MADE SENSE!" Dimmer and dimmer this boy got it seemed. "You sure have a way of showing it sometimes. I'm really starting to think that you don't listen to anything I tell you! You don't know how to show you care at all and I'm sorry that I can't keep being around and taking your lack of effort." She had to question if he would understand the effect he had on her or if it was a concern of his at all. "Well obviously! But know what? You can have one less person to try to make happy." She was probably overreacting, but she had needed that summer and it was taken away from her completely. Yes, it was all their last summers with their family, she could understand that completely; but if that was completely true why had she been invited. "You seriously made me think that I was your best friend and I thought you could tell me anything, but you couldn't even be honest enough with me to tell me about this summer and that really hurt me. I never intentionally didn't tell you something about my life and I thought we didn't have secrets, but not even trying to explain to me just sealed it for me. What kind of friends are we really?" She needed to walk away and it needed to happen now.

"Yeah, keep playing the victim Phillips. You are starting to get good at it." she replied as she walked away again. "Remember I was under a love potion before and I KNOW how that feels. I also know how it feels to feel the way that Marie felt when you were acting that way toward Destiny!" Yes it was Destiny's potion and all but it wasn't like Destiny shared the same feelings for Carter as he felt for her under the potion. "If I recall Destiny wasn't returning your feelings was she? You can only blame the potion for so much. Just saying that you are sorry for making her feel like that isn't going to make it all go away. You two damaged each other beyond repair!" Those two would be carrying around those emotional scars forever and that was very tragic in her opinion. Her jealousy didn't allow her to support the idea that the two were together, but hearing about the effect the potion was having on Marie, softened her heart to the She-Snake. She really wished she had been around to knock some sense into him. "If it was me, I would have walked away too! You messed each other up and I'm surprised that she didn't walk away sooner. I'm sure it was hard but holding out would have hurt a lot more." She should be listening to her own advice. He was hurting her just like he had hurt Marie and she kept coming back. He didn't even know what he was doing and it became more and more evident that he wouldn't ever understand.

"I don't want you to CHOOSE! You already have! I'm tired of coming in second. Your actions speak LOUDER than your words!" Constantly second place and it was really annoying her. She hadn't settled for it when it came to the relationship Evan and Marie and she wasn't going to settle for it now with Carter. She had tried to support his happiness like he had supported hers, but at least Evan was understanding of how much Carter had meant to her. Yes, the two of them didn't like each other but it wasn't like Evan would get in the way of the time that she would have with Carter. Their relationship was like that. She wanted her life to include both of them and she had thought the same of Carter wanted her in his life, but again she was wrong about that. She had made room for both of them but it was clear that there just wasn't room for her anymore and this was her exit cue.

Shaking her head, she narrowed her eyes. "Don't even think you can try to sweet talk me with your Minas at a time like this," she fumed. "I was in love with you and I still listened to you and all your girl issues. I was there for you through all of it. I listened to you talk about how wonderful each and every girl was. How you liked them and so on and so on. Do you know how that felt? Do you know that cried inside every day when you looked at them like that and that you didn't find me at all worthy of the same attention?" She didn't think she was ugly or anything but, she would have liked to be told she was pretty from time to time. She wasn't a troll and she was worthy.

Hitting him had felt good and for a nanosecond, she did feel bad about it, but she was still angry at him. She had always put him first before herself and this was how she was being repaid now. It was pure jealousy but she couldn't blame Destiny. That was the way Destiny was for her to just turn her back on a friend wasn't how she worked. That was probably what made her so happy that Patroclus had found Destiny. There was a happiness that those two had and it was special. Destiny wasn't the type she could be angry at. She wasn't a threat to Mina. She was her friend and she could trust her like that. Marilyn was just a different story completely. There was bad blood there and there probably always going to be.

Walking over to her bag, she grabbed it. She needed to get as far away from him as she could right now. She had said too much and she knew it, but there was a part of her that told her it needed to come out. It needed to be known and she would be free of it, but saying it all out loud only haunted her now. She needed to put as much distance between the two of them as possible.

She stopped and stood there. Even though her mind and heart told her she needed to go, she felt she owed it to him to let him explain. Why she thought she still owed him that, she wasn't sure, but she couldn't walk way. Keeping her back to him, she listened.

She couldn't heard this right now. He can't do this to her like this. Hearing what he was saying would only break down what protection she had left. She had tried so hard to not let it affect her, she didn't want to have to feel this way again. Getting away from him was what she wanted, but her feet wouldn't move now. She needed to run far far away from this boy and never look back again. She needed to be safe again and being there, hearing what he was saying would only serve to hurt her more.

"I can't. Carter. I just can't look at you right now. I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at you any time soon." she wibbled softly. They needed time apart. She couldn't be there right now. With it all out there, they needed to think about just what it all meant. She wouldn't ask anything of him in the state she was in. No, she knew nothing good would come of it.

"I'm not going to tell you what to do, not anymore. You're just going to have to figure it out and then maybe you can come find me," she finally replied. He had to work out what he wanted to do. She was completely torn up and she wasn't in the state to tell him anything. She had already said too much.

"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Adam had led the way to the thestrals, JB bounding along beside him and Louisa excitedly. He certainly hoped that the puppy's energetic demeanor didn't scare them off...they were relaxed and timid creatures after all. Once he was sure that they were close enough to the woods that he would be able to see them Adam held up a hand for Louisa to stop.

"Alright...here, take an apple," Adam said, pulling one out of his bag and handing it to her. "I think I see one on the edge there, but we should approach it slowly in order not to frighten it or anything."

Louisa followed the boys yes JB was a boy to the front gate where it was the only place that Thestrals were most likely to be. She had halted when Adam held out his hand and hurried to stand closely by him, in case one of the creatures attacked her or something. "Do you think they know whether we see him or not?" she whispered to him, not aware that they probably were miles away.

Louisa took the apple from him and hugged it to her chest - a gesture of nervousness. "Where are they? Are they old? Are they females?" Since those were the ones to be petted, right? She wasn't going there all by herself, though. Adam was coming along and he was going to stay with her. All right? Good.

She wasn't going there all by herself, though. Adam was coming along and he was going to stay with her. All right? Good.
Adam noticed that Louisa had definitely taken a couple of steps so that she was practically right up against him. He didn't mind though...for those who couldn't see the creatures the idea of just approaching them on one's own could be quite frightening. "I think they can sense us yeah," Adam said with a little nod of the head. Adam shifted forward slightly, looking out at the creatures....it looked like a mother and her young were eating some of the grass along the edge of the forest.

"Alright...there's a mom and two little ones with her...I think if we just approach them slowly and hold out the apple in front, we'll be alright." Adam started to walk towards the creatures slowly, gesturing for Louisa to follow allow it probably wasn't necessary because Louisa was already standing close enough to him, and appeared nervous enough that he strongly doubted she was going to leave his side.

Once they were about two or three feet away from the creatures, Adam held up his hand for Louisa to stop. The mother had looked up and was eyeing Adam curiously. In response Adam held up one of the apples and tossed it across the small amount of space. The mother then presumed to bend down and sniff it before opening her mouth and taking a huge chunk out of it. One of the little ones noticing that he had come bearing good food started to walk towards them. The mother looked up for a moment, but then went back to eating her apple.

"Okay, there's a baby coming towards us right now...why don't you give it the apple. I'll help." Adam took a hold of Louisa's elbow and led her the couple of steps towards the creature. Even though it was a baby it was practically up to their shoulders...Taking a hold of Louisa's hand that was holding the apple Adam guided it out until it was just an inch or so away from the creature's nose. It let out a little snort of air as it examined the apple before opening its mouth and taking a bit, the pressure of the action moving Louisa's hand downwards slightly.

"Ahh...there you go," Adam said, giving Louisa a little smirk. He reached out and began to pet the creature's head, which was rather boney while it chewed happily on the apple.

Sense us.. that was kind of worse than seeing us. Anyways, she just nodded and stared blankly at the same direction he was looking at. When he walked and gestured for her to follow, she jumped on her feet to be stuck to his side, her free hand holding to his shirt.

..what? She was a bit scared. Okay?

Walking with him toward the mother and two of her children Louisa tried so hard not to look at one spot for more than ten seconds - that could be really provoking. "What are they-" She started to ask but Adam had already answered her. He threw an apple to the ground. Louisa's eyes glued on the piece of fruit as it moved on its accord and then was lifted a little from the ground.

Louisa gasped quietly, squeezing the boy's shirt, and was about to protest when he held her elbow and led her on. She followed, anyway. When Adam stopped, she froze, half hidden behind him. Her hand was levitated and then she could feel the air nearby troubled. Louisa let out a small whimper before the thestral took hold of the apple and she felt it move in her hand.

Gradually the almost fourteen years old was feeling better. She smiled and watched the fruit being eaten.. not by something she could see but it was weirdly nice. Looking up at Adam she whispered, "You think I can touch them?"

He did so why not her?

He did so why not her?


Adam had noticed that Louisa had not only pressed herself against him but was also clinging to his shirt with more force than he thought was possible for her to muster. He turned and gave her a reassuring smile as she watched the mother eat the apple. He was glad that as soon as he had led her to the younger one for it to eat the apple out of her hand that she had seemed to relax some.

"They really are very mellow creatures," Adam said, giving the creature a little smile. "As long as they don't see you as a threat they won't harm you." Adam was in the process of watching the little one eat from Louisa's hand when he felt a rather forceful nudge hit him in the back. He stumbled forward slightly, the motion jerking Louisa with him a bit, before grabbing hold of the little one in front of him for support.

Swinging around Adam spotted another little one that had come out of the forest from a little ways down. It was eyeing Adam, almost as if to say "don't forget about me!" Adam let out a chuckle before turning to look at Louisa. "Sorry...apparently this one is feeling a little left out," Adam said with a smile. The creature in front of Louisa had finished the apple and was turning around and heading back towards its mother.

Reaching into his bag Adam pulled out another apple and held it out the creature. It happily began to munch on the apple from his hand. "Here...you can pet this one while he's eating," Adam said with a smile. Taking a hold of Louisa's hand he led her closer to the creature before placing her hand on the top of the creature's head, right in the space between it's two eyes.

Taking a hold of Louisa's hand he led her closer to the creature before placing her hand on the top of the creature's head, right in the space between it's two eyes.


Louisa was still staring at the apple suspended in midair and being eaten by the baby creature when Adam had explained more about them. She wasn't clutching his shirt with the same force but.. she was still leaning on him for protection.

Not for long, though. He suddenly stumbled forward and she stumbled with him, brushing against something on her right - the baby that was eating the apple- and that made her shiver a bit. Touching something invisible was... intimidating. When they both straightened up and were balanced, Louisa watched Adam feeding the other baby. "Wow. They're not nearly as scary as I thought they would be. I mean.. they eat apples?" She chuckled quietly. They were creatures that only can be seen by death-related people! Bones were reasonable meal for them.

Shrugging her shoulders the girl let Adam guide her hand to where the creature was. It wasn't that hard to guess it since the apple was there. Louisa moved her hand slightly forward and touched the bony head of the Thestral. She sucked a breath in surprise before brushing on him/her gently. "Wow. They're so bony. I didn't expect this. They can fly though, right? I thought they had feathers and furs." Although this bony structure elaborated on the death-related creatures. Hmmm.

Adam gave Louisa a small smile. "I think they're misunderstood," Adam said, turning his head to look at the mother that was rubbing her nose against her baby's. "I think it's natural to think creatures associated with death must be evil, but really they're actually very kind." Adam had to feel for them...the thestrals had been rejected by a lot of the society and shied away from due to their nature, but really they were just as sweet as any horse that you'd stumble upon.

Adam looked back down at the apple in his hand, half of it already gone and gave a little chuckle. "They love apples but don't let that fool you. If you give them a steak they will love you for life." At the mention of steak the creature had lifted its head slightly and was looking at Adam intently. "Sorry...I don't have any...maybe next time," he said apologetically to the creature. It gave a little snort, blowing hot air on both of them before returning to the apple.

Adam watched as Louisa pet the animal feeling its bones. "They are boney, but surprisingly they're comfortable to ride on...at least, that's what I've heard anyway. Something about the way that their back bone curves downwards creates a little divot that your butt can fit into perfectly," Adam said with a little chuckle. "I don't suppose they let the students ride on them, but perhaps they'd do it for a care of magical creatures lesson or something," Adam said with a small smile. That would be fun.

"So...what's it like being able to feel the creature and not see it? It must be a kind of awkward sensation," Adam said, getting ready to take another apple out of his bag.

Still brushing on the creature's head Louisa nodded. "Yeah. A lot of people are misunderstood or mistreated." Although she thought house elves were perfectly fine. It was her own opinion, though. Dropping her hand she turned to face Adam as he looked at them and fed them more apples. "Steaks. We should remember that for next time." She was going to come again, of course. It was fun!

As he explained how their backs were good for carrying people, Louisa couldn't help but imagining it like a horse's back. It might be bonier than that but.. she just had this image popping into her head. "That sounds convenient. Maybe they were made to be magical horses of some sorts. Maybe next year when we're heading to the castle, I'll be able to ride on one instead of riding on its carriage." Louisa had a beaming face as she looked toward where the thestral was supposed to be.

At his question she looked back up at him, "It is weird. You kind of feel silly interacting with air but when they respond to you, like the time I petted that one and he or she responded, that justified it." She smiled and added, "I think it's more interesting to actually see them. I've seen pictures of them on books but they were black and white, more like scribbles." No, not good enough for her.

Adam gave a little nod of the head. It was true, but it wasn't all that surprising. People had such complicated brains and emotions that it was no wonder that people had a hard time getting them across or explaining why or how they felt one way about something or someone. All the complicatedness could definitely lead to some misunderstanding. "I do feel bad for them...it's hard to be seen in a caring light when you're mainly associated with death, and are pretty much a constant reminder to those that can see them that they have seen someone or something die." It was pretty miserable...

"I imagine we could get some steaks from the kitchen, right? They don't even have to be cooked...they'll eat them either way," Adam said with a little nod. Even though the idea of eating raw beef made his stomach churn, Adam knew they were animals and obviously had much tougher immune systems than he did. "I'm sure we'd become their new best friends if we keep bringing them food."

Adam gave a little nod. "Yeah, maybe. I imagine they could be quite useful in old time wars if you managed to make yourself invisible, then you could ride in on it...although maybe not since most soldiers have seen death at some point." Hmmm...surely there were other uses that thestrals would be especially convenient for. "I guess they could be good for keeping watch, or just in general...people can't steal what they can't see." People did steal horses, right? Maybe Adam was making that up...

As Adam listened to Louisa talk about the weirdness of the whole thing an idea popped into his head. "It would be kind of cool if we could get a pensieve," Adam said, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "I mean...theoretically speaking I could always extract this memory from my brain, put it in the pensieve, and then you could look at the memory and see what they look like," Adam said, adding a smile on at the end. "Granted I have no idea how to go about doing any of that, but it would be pretty cool if we could figure it out."

People did steal horses, right? Maybe Adam was making that up...

As Adam listened to Louisa talk about the weirdness of the whole thing an idea popped into his head. "It would be kind of cool if we could get a pensieve," Adam said, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. "I mean...theoretically speaking I could always extract this memory from my brain, put it in the pensieve, and then you could look at the memory and see what they look like," Adam said, adding a smile on at the end. "Granted I have no idea how to go about doing any of that, but it would be pretty cool if we could figure it out."


Louisa pondered the sentence he'd just said, 'it's hard to be seen in a caring light when you're mainly associated with death.' She agreed by nodding slowly. "That's right. I think I wouldn't want to be a Thestral." Not that it made sense to be one but she expressed a point.

"We have to. But the kitchen's closed. The house elves aren't letting anyone in. We can try and see that if you like!" She hadn't come down and seen it but overheard it in the common room. Louisa was up for an investigation. Maybe they cleaned everything up and students were allowed to get inside again?

Louisa chuckled. "No. I think using them in a battle would be stupid as you said, most soldiers have seen death." She turned to look at the empty ground around that was probably occupied by three Thestrals already and replied to Adam, "That's another bright idea. Maybe they use them to watch somewhere.. happy." Since a happy place wouldn't include people that encountered death...right? Was there such a place, though? Louisa had no answer to that.

Then came the pensieve suggestion. Louisa faced Adam, forgetting about the invesible creatures around them, and her face beamed strongly. "That's brilliant! Really!" She paused thoughtfully, "I don't know where to find a pensieve but.. do you think we can buy one? They have to be so expensive but I guess Jason would pay for it from his new job!" Yeah, because her stepdad who had magic-phobia would totally understand that. She did have her ways, though. "We need to learn how to extract a memory, though. It's advanced magic, right?" Maybe when they were seventh year students?

Marilyn stood at the front gate, tapping her boot-covered foot. She was waiting on Rafe, who was OF COURSE taking his sweet time. She understood that he was done with her...but this was just childish.

Jasper was expecting them in twenty minutes...

Looking back down at her watch, she gave him another five minutes before she left without him...Deep down, the blonde knew this made no difference. Marilyn was sure Rafe knew were he was going...but STILL!

Rafe didn't really want to come. He would much rather fly out his window then actually be in the presence of Marilyn right now. However, this wasn't about him. It was about Jasper and Tala. He could on the smiles and the laughter, but inside he was hurting. Not because of what he said, but by Marilyn's behavior over the last year.

He took his time. There was nothing like making Marilyn fret and he didn't care. Rafe walked down to the front gate with his hands in his pocket. Rafe rolled his eyes and he noticed Marilyn dressed for the next winter apocalypse. It was just October and not even that cold. Whatever. He was warm with just a t-shirt and jeans. He then stopped right in front of her without saying a word.

Marilyn heard someone approach...but refused to look. She knew it was him. The sound of his foot falls and that earthy smell she'd always associated with everything Rafe wafted through the air. It was strange how his smell was strong to her...

Making sure her shades where in place, she ducked out of the gate...not really waiting to see if he followed or not.

Alice looked at the front gate, her mouth tried to twist into a smile, but she refused to allow it. It took all her will not to burst out into laughter. This was the same gate her sister tried to climb over to escape. The mental image replayed in her head as she went into a fit of giggles. She must have looked like a nut case, but for once she didn't care
