Rani and Conner walked out of the castle doors without a word. The day was perfect, just enough cloud cover. The clouds seemed like you could grab them out of the sky. The sun was shining and the wind was blowing slightly. It seemed as though nothing could ruin the day. As they approached the lake, Rani and Conner sat down. Nothing really needed to be said, there was too much to think about. There was concern for Aria and Ace, there was the strangeness of Micira, plus classes were bound to start soon. Rani layed back into the grass and watched the puffy clouds and they strolled by.

"There you are...." Micira said coldly, appearing in Rani's vision. She glared down at her and crossed her arms. The usual glare was now back on her face and the aura of badness followed just as clearly. She had an urge to kick her in the face, but the sensation passed just as quickly as it came. It was replaced by an urge to hug her. She scowled herself and ignored the strange urge. It made her angrier.
"What did you do to me?!?" She snapped at Rani.

Rani jumped when Micira came by her. "I- I didn't do anything to you, YOU'RE the one that did something to me, and my friends. What makes you think that you have the right to march up to me asking what I did to you when you seriously injured two of my friends, tease me with my mother's book, make fun of me? Don't ask me why you are being someone I might look at without scowling. I thought that maybe the Grinch came and made your heart ten times bigger, but I guess I'm wrong with the way you're looking at me. Do you even know who the Grinch is ? Why don't you go and leave my friends and I alone. Untill you say you're sorry, I won't speak to you. " Rani turned towards Conner feeling a bit better about the whole thing. She smiled, for once, Rani had stood up for herself.

Conner stood there silent, he felt Rani could take care of her self but just in case he kept a firm grasp on his wand tucked away inside his robe. He might have not been the best duelist around but he certainly had the knack for charms and he would not let either of them get hurt. He knew if he had opened his mouth a charm would have filtered out his mouth and sent Micira flying or worse.
“Let’s just go over here …” He grabbed her arm, interlocked and began to leave Micira behind them. For some reason he had no fear she would try to curse him or worse, kill them, somehow he felt ok with having her behind them.

Micira chased after them. "Don't lie to me! I know it was you. I'm not a nice person, I can't just...ARGH!" She threw her hands up in defeat. "Someone cursed me and I'm betting it was either you or one of your stupid little friends...I'm going to find out who it was...." She looked up at the sky, and sighed. It was so pretty and relaxing....
"Then again, I like being happy...NO! No, I don't!" She hit herself over her head with her heavy bag, looking like a disobient house elf.

" I swear, I didn't do ANYTHING" Rani followed Conner, reaching for her wand. If Micira wanted to hurt either of them, it wasn't going to be as easy as last time. She wondered if Micira was even aware of the consequences of her actions. Still attatched to Conner, Rani stopped at the large tree by the lake. They were probably safe there, so why should they go inside? Rani unlocked her arm from Conner's and pulled out her mother's old book. Maybe this would explain something. Why would Micira decide to make fun of her this year, not any other? Why would she take personality turns like this? Now that Rani thought about it, her mother took a change in personality when she was seven... Maybe there was a clue.

"What is with you and that stodgy book, I'd throw it in the lake if you'd let me." He stood against the tree looking out against the water, peace, tranquility was what he searched, and the water provided
He still kept the wand in hand; ready to withdraw it at any moment, though he would rather not use it.

Micira eyed them. They both had their wands at the ready. Did they really think she would attack them? Honestly, she couldn't even bare the idea of attacking anyone at the moment. Maybe it was the fact that she didn't want to get in any further trouble, or maybe it was because she had truely changed. She stopped in her tracks. Maybe it was time to stop searching for an answer to this unusual behavior...She looked at Rani sadly.
"Fine...."

Cat walked towards the lake, hearing arguing going on and approached cautiously. She didn't understand what was going on but didn't really want to eavesdrop so she watched. The only one she recognized was Micira who shared a dorm with her and was also a fellow Chaser, but she had never spoken to. The other girl always looked as if she would bite Cat's head off if she did so she politely ignored her. The other two walked away and only Micira was there. Cat watched as Micira sudden;y seemed to relax and then Cat summoned up her courage and walked forward. "Hello," she said softly.

" The book was my mother's, she was a gryffindor student as well, and she found it in her old school things the day before my seventh birthday. She skimmed though it and told me it would be a good bed-time story after my family left the next day; we were having a family get together for my birthday. She forgot to read it to me, so I read it on my own. I told her it was weird, so she read it. Two days later, she started hitting me and not really paying attention to my needs, she was always gone. That was when I had to move in with my father, who wasn't much better. The only difference was he only hit me if he got drunk. It only happened once... I don't know. I think there is some connection to Micira's weirdness and this book. " Rani didn't know she was thinking that hard when she said all of that. It all came out of her mouth by itself, she didn't tell her brain to make her say that. She stayed quiet now, trying to keep her thoughts gathered.

"Oh..." Micira turned and looked up at Cat. Her bright blue eyes seemed to become brighter. "Hi, I know you!" Her friendly composition seemed to return instantly. After being denied her answers, she just gave up altogether, and would accept this new personality without knowing what it meant.
"You're uh.....Cat...right?" Micira said, raising an eyebrow.

Cat nodded. "Yes, Cat Miller, and you're Micira right?" she as. The other girl certainly seemed like she wasn't upset anymore, and Cat was supprised that she seemed to be friendly, Micira certainly didn't seem like she was in the past.

"Yup." She said, nodding. She looked over at Rani and Conner and smiled. See, I can make friends too. She thought and smirked. She looked back at Cat. "Come on, let's go sit down and talk." She said, nudging her head towards the lake. They walked past the two and made their way to the bank, where they sat and started to exchange information about their pasts.
"Sorry if I treated you bad before." She said, looking out towards the lake and watching the giant squid propel itself gracefully across the surface.

Cat followed Micira down towards the Lake, happy to know that she could very well make a friend. It was still somewhat surprising, but Cat wasn't going to question Micira's abrupt change. She had made very few friends since she came to Hogwarts and none who were very close.
She sat down next to Micira and upon hearing her apology, Cat smiled. "Don't worry about it," she said. "I really wasn't trying to be friendly either."

Beth left Ace and Aria and headed down to the lake . She had some things to think about and the lake was the most peaceful place at Hogwarts. When she got out side she instantly noticed Rani and Conner arguing with the Micira girl that had hurt Ace and Aria. She didn't know her , well she had never actually talked to her but she knew exactly who she was. She watched as Conner and Rani walked away from her before she walked over to Micira and pushed her.
"How dare you hurt my best friends you stupid despicable fool!" She screamed trying not to punch her in the face.
"If i would of been here i would of killed you for hurting them, where do you get off just hurting people? You deserved to get a lot more then just detention and no quidditch . In my opinion you deserve to be expelled for hurting them" she roared her hand in her pocket ready to pull out her wand but she thought better of it.
"Yeah well at least we aren't psycho" beth spat at her.

Micira's eyes widened. She stepped back from Beth, not exactly sure what to do. Something in her told her to curse her. The overpowering part told her to apologize, but she knew Beth would not believe her, no matter how truthful she was.
"I'm incredibly sorry..." She whispered, in a small voice. "It wasn't intentional..Swear, it was like something foul took over me." She dared not look Beth in the eye. She knew a trip to the Hospital Wing was probably in store for her.

Cat watched confused, yet it didn't surprise her. She had heard about some incident that happened in the courtyard involding Micira but she didn't know the full details. The Hufflepuff girl looked absolutely furious and Cat involuntarily moved her hand to her wand just in case things got out of hand.

He was elated he could finally leave the hospital wing though his hands still wrapped up. He knew water would make him feel better; the pain was not near as bad as it had once been so he headed down towards the lake. Normally he was just alone by himself down but this time it was different it was not just him, no, it was a large group of people.
He recognized all the faces instantly, but the most apparent figure was her, Miciar. He knew better then that, had it not been for his lack of wand he would have cursed her right there pain and all. He saw Beth he had a fear she would do something terrible and he could not face the fact if she had hurt her.
“Beth please, it’s not worth it.” He said in a soft voice, from her reaction she was surprised he would be there “… she is nothing more then a mudblood scum who thinks she is better then others, she finds it quite funny nevertheless this act she is pulling on everyone. I see right through it Micira Blackfern you don’t have to fear me but I wouldn’t say the same for Aria.” He turned around and hugged Beth, making sure he had his hands away from her body so they wouldn’t hurt.

"Ace...." Micira said quietly. When she saw his wrapped hands she felt a tremendous pang of guilt. She felt sick and slightly nerved by his words. Why did nobody seem to believe that this was truely her? She was not acting...and if she was, she was fooling even herself. She took a step closer to them.
"Let her curse me....I deserve it..." She said, just as quietly but now much stronger.

Beth just glared at her and took a step toward her. "Your sorry , your SORRY well you bloody well should be you injured Ace severely you stupid bitch" Beth screamed again " Why are you all soft spoken and afraid today Micira? You weren't the other day when you went on your little rampage" She took another step towards her when she saw Ace and heard him speak
"OH yes , yes it would be worth it , it would be more then worth it if i hexed her ass to the other side of this lake . Id be a happy camper then "She half screamed trying not to yell at Ace but not being able to control her voice all the way . She hugged Ace back but never took her eyes off of Micira . "I swear your gonna get yours if its the last thing i do " Beth said to Micira when she stopped hugging Ace

"Then DO IT!" She yelled. She was sick of this little waiting game. She advanced forward, so that her and Beth were only inches away. "Unless you're a coward, just do it already!" She hissed and sneered.
"Don't just come here to give empty threats...I'm not scared of you or Aria or any one else you're little victim of a friend is willing to have hurt just to "punish" me! Bloody hell, I said I'm sorry! If you can't accept that then get this over with or just leave me alone!" Her eyes drifted momentarily. She saw Cat with her wand out. "No, Cat..." She moaned. "I'm not worth it."

Cat stood up and looked at Micira. "Nobody deserves this," she said quietly. Then she turned to the furious Hufflepuff. "Yes Micira made a mistake, but are you really going to become a hypocrite by doing the same thing she just did?" she asked. "I don't know much about what happened but surely taking out your revenge on her won't solve anything, it'll only make things worse."

He snatched his wand back from Beth who had previously taken his wand to prevent revenge. He pushed her out of the way, stood there, his hands burning with the wood, and pointed at the girl who was named Cat. “Attempt anything and I’ll make that wand snap in two.” He held the wand so strong in his hand, the wounds that had began to scab over started to bleed “Do it, either of you and it’ll be the last thing you do.” He wasn’t going to back down this time, no, he stood his ground

Beth watched Ace grab his wand and push her aside. She gasped when she saw that his hands had started to bleed. She knew nothing she said would do anything to stop him from holding his wand so she pulled hers out and pointed it at Micira.
"First of all you have major issues and second of all one thing you will learn about me is that everything that comes out of my mouth is true. My threats aren't empty ones . What you did was unforgivable and i don't give a damn what your excuse was you need to pay for what you did " Beth said her wand still pointed at Micira.
"and you what are you gonna do ? " she said now directing her attention to Cat but her wand was still pointed at Micira

"What I'm going to try to do," Cat replied. "Is to talk some sense into you, it's totally not worth it. I know you hate Micira, ignore her, never speak to her again, but don't go around treatening to hex the daylights out of her. That kind of behavior is fitting of a Death Eater, do you really want to be compared to one?" Cat declared, still holding her wand out. "And like I said before, I have my wand out to make sure nothing gets out of hand."
