She felt Fred nudge her side. "Hey, something wrong?" he asked. "Oh, no nothing's wrong. Just a bit out of it today," Riane replied with a smile. Fred smiled back and then started on a joke about Flint. Everyone around them laughed. Malfoy looked over, not sure whether he should laugh or not.

Nessa slumped and let her head fall against the lunch table with a resounding thud. "What's wrong, Nessie?" Al asked, looking curiously at all the "Big Kids." "It's nothing, Al." She said, faking a smile. He bought her explanation and went back to listening to Fred and George. "Ness, what's wrong?" Finn whispered to her. "I had to show Snape Ma-a's body." She whispered back. Finn winced. "Will you be okay?" Nessa opened her mouth to reply, but was cut off when the doors to the Great Hall opened and two brown haired dwarves, one male and the other female, stepped in. "TALEC! KETA!" Al screamed, jumping up and running over; throwing his arms around the man's neck. He laughed. "'Lo Alaric. How are you?" Al just grinned at him. "To what do we owe this honor?" Dumbledore said, rising to his feet. The female spoke. "We are here on behalf of Lord Gawain, high chieftan of the Dwarven nation. I am Keta, and he is Talec." Dumbledore nodded. "Would you care to join us for lunch? We may speak after." Both dwarves nodded and sat down at the Gryffindor table.

Riane turned her head, trying to get a better look at the dwarves. "When was the last time you saw dwarves in this castle?" Riane said with an edge when George gave her an odd look. She straightened herself back upright and listened to the twins joking around again. At one joke about Pansy Parkinson, she threw her head back and laughed so hard she nearly fell off the chair. Fred caught her just before she slipped back. "Thanks Fred," she said smiling. "Hey, that's my Riane! You were acting so glum, it's good to have you back to normal," he said with a smile on his face. "You know, you didn't really lose me, I was just...........taking a break from being Riane. I think I was acting like....." She stopped for dramatic pause. "Harry!" she said, starting to laugh again. Harry glared at her for a minute, biting his lip to stop himself from laughing. "Oh, come on, Harry! You know it's true. Laugh a bit, god! You act as though you should be, I don't know, emo or something. Oh my god, Harry let me see your wrists!" Riane joked. Harry couldn't stop himself anymore. He broke out laughing. "Finally, a lighter mood from you, mr. I'm-so-depressed," Riane said, laughing. "Whatever, Riane. God, having you for an older sister is worse than just about anything else I can imagine," he joked. "Now, Harry, quit being so....negative," she retorted smiling. "Whatever, Riane," he said, looking back down at his plate. "Just promise me that if you kiss Cho Chang again, that you'll tell me! It's kinda hard to keep secrets from me, you know that. The longer you wait to tell me, the more upset I'll get," Riane teased. Harry's face turned a brilliant red. "How did you find out about that?" Harry said. "That's for me and the twins to know and for you not to," Riane said back, smiling even more.

Nessa left the Great Hall early and ran to the Gryffindor common room. She checked to make sure everyone was downstairs and finally relaxed. "Francios!" She called out. A black form phased into the room, taking the form of a pale, slightly pudgy man. He bowed. "M'Lady." Nessa sighed. "Get up, Francios. You know I hate it when you do that." He grinned, but stood up anyway. "How can I be of service, M'Lady?" "I need you to tell the Vampiric Council that they have their amnesty, as long as they follow my terms." Nessa took a small, jagged knife out of her boot and cut her palm open, holding the wound out to him. Francios looked at her in shock. "M'Lady?" "You may as well Francios. It's already there." He sighed, but leaned down and kissed the cut. He stood up, his lips bloody and his eyes red, and grinned, exposing his fangs. "Thank you, M'Lady." He said, phasing out. Nessa sighed and looked at her hand. "I don't have time to heal this." She quickly ran into her room and pulled out a roll of gauze, bandaging her wound quickly before running down to class.

Isabel went to class. There were only a few hours left until 7. Finally it was time to put her books away. She went up to the common room to do some homework before dinner.

Riane finished up her classes. "Well, boys, this day is seeming a bit bleak. I feel like livening it up!" Riane said. "Oh my god, that's a great idea!" the twins said. "Come on, I've got a couple ideas," Riane said. She grabbed both of their hands and dragged them back to the common room. "Ok, I've got it!" she said, grabbing a bag and pulling them down to the Great Hall. They set up the prank and walked out of the hall just as the first people were walking in. Malfoy walked up. "Oh, Draco, you don't want to go in there quite yet," Riane warned. "Why not?" "Because I don't think you want pink hair." He nodded and stood with them.

Nessa took one look at Riane, Fred, and George and knew. "You set up a prank, didn't you?" She said, sticking her hands in her pocket and avoiding Draco like the plague. Riane grinned. "Yup." Nessa sighed, taking her hand out of her pocket and running through her hair. "Just like Finn." She muttered. "Nessa, what happened to your hand?" Draco asked. "Well, THAT didn't work." "I made an offering and I didn't have time to heal it." She said calmly. "What do you mean, an offering?!" Draco yelled. Nessa quickly shushed him. "Do any of you have a problem with vampires, werewolves, and the like?" She asked. "What does that have to do with anything?!" Draco asked. "Just answer the question!" All of them shook their heads. Nessa sighed. "Good. Now to answer the question, I made an offering of proof to the vampires that I sent the messenger I sent. They know my blood." "Why did you send something to the vampires?" Fred asked. "They're one of my allies. They asked if they could move closer to the school, to guard me better. I told them they could. Don't tell anyone, okay? I don't want this getting back to Fudge somehow." They all nodded. "Okay. Now I need to get in there, so I have an idea." Nessa grinned. "Finn!" He apparated to her. "What?" "The door's jammed, could you open it?" He nodded and opened the door, his hair turning pink in the process. "That was cruel, Ness." He said pouting. "Yup." She said, as she walked inside to change clothes.

Riane smiled at Finn. "Sorry about that. We didn't expect her to make you touch the door," she said with a nervous smile and walked into the great hall without getting pink hair. "Sorry, dude," the twins said in unison and followed Riane. They all sat down, looking at all the poor saps with pink hair. "Do they ever learn?" Riane joked. "No, I don't think so," Fred replied jokingly. They all pulled some food on their plate at began to eat.

Isabel went down to the Great Hall for dinner. She was very hungary. Finally when dinner was finished, she walked over to Nessa.

Nessa smiled as she saw Isabel walking over. "Hey Isabel. Would you mind doing me a favor?" "No, what is it?" "I need you to spread the word for me. Tell everyone to get the pictures of thier relatives and meet me at the Room of Requirement right after dinner, and that I've extended the invitation to Snape. And tell Riane, Fred, and George that if they pull any pranks on him, there will be Hell to pay. He's grieving just like the rest of us." Isabel nodded and walked off. Nessa sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "Now to begin the fun."

Riane listened to what Isabel told them. She pulled the twins up to the common room. She went and got a picture of her mom and dad from her dorm and walked back down to them. "Com on, guys!" she said and headed to the room of requirement.

Nessa and Finn separated after dinner, Nessa to get the pictures and Finn to retrieve Proffesor Snape. They met back up at the Room of Requirement and walked inside to see almost everyone there. "Is Lupin coming?" Finn asked curiously. "We really need to talk to him."

"Oh, sorry," Riane said and ran out the door. She reappeared through the doors moments later with Lupin following behind her. "Sorry 'bout that," she appologized. She walked away from Lupin and went to stand with the twins. She knew that if during this session she started to cry, they would comfort her.
