Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ryan looked at his surroundings, impressed. "I guess I'll never stop discovering stuff about this school," he said, his neck beginning to cramp from ducking down. Well, a neck-cramp was preferrable to banging his head against the dirt ceiling.

"I'm a Ravenclaw," he said, answering Neylie's query. "Fifth year. Those of wit and learning will always find their kind, so the Sorting Hat said. Can't say much for my wit, though." He continued walking in a hasty, odd-looking crouch. "I hope Headmaster Baradun is recovering."

((Hope that's a good enough name.))

"Me too," Neylie said looking around, "I'm in Gryffindor, kind of fits me. My whole family hates me though, you do like semi-smart though," Neylie looked over at Sapphire and Darius. Now that she mentioned it, where were her other brothers?

Sapphire gasped shock spreading through her body. "What! The Death Eaters are hear? Darius get ready." Sahe whipped around her wand at the ready.

(( Aww.. and here I was about to name the Headmaster Windlepuff or something. xp I'll post tom. It's late... ninja ))

(( Hahaha. It seems a bit undignified though. Windlepuff could be one of our professors then! blaugh ))

Summer woke up in Garafena's room. She had fallen asleep immediately after she finished discussing the recent events over with Garafena. She noticed that dawn was barely appearing through the window. She got up to stretch and caught the blanket before it fully fell to the ground. Shaking it out, she folded it up and set it in the big lazy chair she had fallen asleep in.

There was a lot of information to assimilate and understand, so Summer silently made herself ready for the new day. There were only two or three students up, but they were already staring at her. She quickly left before the rest woke.

She sat at the Slytherin table in the Hall, waiting for breakfast as she carefully composed a letter to Sapphire.

I hope this reaches you well. I'm almost right as rain. All I really needed was a good night sleep to erase the stress and fatigue from yesterday. Unfortunately, it didn't stop the nightmares from coming.

Garafena assures me that she'll find a way to help my condition, which I implied that you shared as well to hide my shame. Anyways, she says the situation is quite rare and therefore, she is unsure of how to proceed but she'll ask the relevant professors to help. Her advice goes as follows:

- We must find the direct cause and source of the problem. (the how)
- Why it is happening and to what end.
- How the ailment can be cured. (Will probably answered when the first two are.)

I'll try my best to do research here. I wish you and your families are well.

Summer read it over one last time and hoped they would understand her shielded letter. With a prayer, she sent it off with an owl. Watching it fly away, she sighed. Now she had to go back and face all those students whispering around her. How it even escaped into public knowledge is beyond her. But now it wouldn't be so easy avoiding people like it was at breakfast when she left before the rush.

"Stupify!" Neylie yelled, aiming her wand at the death eater who had grabbed Sapphire. She tried that several times but it didn't work so she tried some others ,"Someone help me, they can't have her! They just can't!"

Completely forgetting the situation, Ryan ran over to Sapphire's limp figure. "Damn," he swore, "you're supposed to invincible, Potter." He rifled through her pockets. "What stone is this, anyway? I thought the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed!" He pointed his wand at her chest. "Ennervate!" he said, hoping he could make it work. "Wake up!"

Sapphire was coming back. "I guess I'd better tell you about the stone and me. The stone's a Wisher stone, it can bring back people or destroy them. And I'm a capsule for a horcrux." She grimaced. Her secret was out, and they were going to hate her for life.
