{The Planning}

[drewskit]

((start explaining lol))

[potter_fan122]

((You have the go ahead, Ginny. And please don`t call me Stace. Sorry, buts I hate it!))

[Ginny Weasly]

((Oops, that wa a typo. Forgot the y at the end. lolz, sorry kiddo.))

"Long enough that the nurse informed me of your...incapacitated state."
Ginny's footsteps had been silent, but her voice was anything but. She had a commanding air about her, made even more so by the strength with which she spoke her words. She slowly walked up to the bedside, picking up Stacey's medical chart as she did so. The nurse had been scribbling on it since the moment Stacey came into the hospital wing. She glanced through the pages, then frowned.

"Stacey, what indeed were you doing? Your vital signs were off the charts when these two boys brought you in here."

Ginny already knew the answer, but Stacey was the only one who would know that.  She knew everything that went on in the school and it's surrounding areas without even really wanting to know. People simply told her everything. Ginny also knew who the two boys were, Aiden and Niles.
She hadn't had them for class, but she knew them.

She set the clipboard down and motioned for Stacey to sit up, "C'mon. I need you to let me check your blocks. I think you short circuited them."

[drewskit]

Niles still had nothing to do or say ((aha)) He just stayed concealed in the shadows, with the two little stars.

((Okay, I forgive you! I won`t hold on letter against you. P.S.-- You forgot the S on 'Was.' Thought you`d like to know.  :) ))

Stacey  flinched when Ginny`s familiar voice met her ears. She quickly looked down, like a little schoolgirl being lectured by the teacher. While Ginny was no longer a teacher, she was in Stacey`s mind-- which Ginny could unfortunatly see into.

"I was... angry." She said softly, giving a quick glare in Niles`s direction. She gave a heavy sigh as a wave of exhaustion washed over her. "You know what happened, so why asked." She snapped, not meaning for her comment to be so rude. I`m sorry. She thought quickly, hoping she would understand.

"And I... I don`t know if I can sit up." She admitted a few seconds later. It seemed like it took all of her energy just to talk, let alone move.

Knowing that her old teacher still probably wanted to know what happened, she started playing the scenes back in her head. She started with her and Aiden planning for the wedding, then when Niles came in and started talking to her after being away for four years. She winced slightly, but kept the memories coming until she had passed out.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny sighed, seeing the images of Stacey's memory as if they were her own memories. She shook her head, tsking the three students and rolling her eyes. She reached down, touching Stacey's temples with both hands and quietly transferring a small amount of power to help jumpstart Stacey's own powers.

"You should know better than to let your emotions get the best of you. You know that intense emotion takes away your concentration from keeping the voices out."
Ginny was lecturing Stacey, a deep frown on her pretty face.

"You don't want those people bothering you again, do you? Learn to control your emotions or they'll do worse than just make you pass out. They'll kill everyone around you, everyone you care about, and then kill you. You don't want that, do you?"
Ginny's words were harsh, but she knew they were not a surprise to Stacey. She and Lavy had taught the girl the hows and whys of psychic powers.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey gave Niles a long, cold look. "I know not to let my emmotions get the best of me, but somebody jut had to push things a little too far." She said, her eyes flickering red for a short second. She turned her gaze to Aiden and her eyes instantly brightened. "You know how territorial I can get." She mused, gently squeezing her fiance`s hand.

She knew that Ginny wasn`t a fan of Stacey`s engagement, but she didn`t care what anyone thought. She knew the warnings of bad marriages-- Lavy and Ginny had made sure of that. Stacey just couldn`t see anything bad coming from getting married to Aiden. They had always seemed perfect for each other. That was part of the reason her two elders warned her so.

"And I know about the voices, Ginny, what they can do. I give myself headaches every day trying to silence them." She winced slightly, but it wasn`t because she felt weak. She felt her new stranght pulsing through her veins, she could practically hear it. But it pained her to have Aiden hear and see how much she goes through to seem normal.

[Aiden]

Aiden listened silently to the two of them speak to one another.  He gently held Stacey's hand without saying a word.  Part of him wanted to leave.  Something about what the two of them spoke of seemed private, and Aiden didn't think he and Niles should be here listening to them.  However, another part of him saw how Stacey held onto his hand as if she wanted him to hear this.

Aiden looked at Ginny and listened to what she spoke of.  He had heard about the teacher who used to work at Hogwarts.  He wanted a chance to meet her one day, but not like this.  He figured that she wouldn't think well of his and Stacey's engagement.  So he sat there quietly, and stared at his hand that was intertwined with Stacey's.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them and turned ehr gaze to Aiden. She felt his unease; his thoughts were all too clear with Ginny so close. "Don`t worry, my moon." She whispered, squeezing his hand reassuringly. She locked eyes with him. His eyes were dark, she could see that. But she could tell much more than that.

"You don`t have to leave unless you want to." She offered, even though she never wanted him to leave, especially not right now. She thought she might as well have the offer open so he wouldn`t feel like he had to stay for her benefit. She would feel horrible if he left right now and came back after Ginny left, btu he should hear what was going on, Stacey knew that, she was just too protective of him.

[Aiden]

Aiden stared at Stacey with his dark eyes for what seemed like a long moment.  He needed to be here for her.  Although Aiden knew that Stacey could see the grief in his eyes, he had to stay.  She needed him as much as Aiden needed her, especially now even if it seemed like Stacey didn't want him to know about what she and Ginny spoke of.

Aiden shook his head slowly.  "No Stacey.  I'll stay."  He whispered quietly, squeezing her hand gently.  He looked up at Ginny to see if she would protest.  The woman who used to be a teacher may want to speak to Stacey in private.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny flapped a hand, "No, no, no. Stay." She said in answer to Aiden's unasked question. She seemed busy with one hand still touching Stacey's temple, helping the girl rebuild her mental block piece by piece.

"Stacey obviously has chosen to protect you, Aiden. Whether or not this has been a good choice is not my place to say. Whatever the case, you girlfriend...excuse me, your fiancè, hears voices."
Ginny lifted her eyes to meet Aiden's, frowning slightly.

"It's not as crazy as it sounds. Many people hear voices. But it is dangerous."
Ginny shook her head suddenly, causing her bright red hair to tumble about her shoulders. It was apparent by her manner, by the way she was confident about herself that she was older. But her bodily age seemed so young that even people who had known her all her life had trouble believing she was 21.

She sighed, "Whenever Stacey is upset, whenever she let's her emotions control her, she becomes weaker. More susceptible to having random spirits invade her body. Anything that senses her weakness can enter her body and control her. So far, she's been lucky and able to kick the invading spirit out."

Ginny frowned deeply, glancing over at Niles, "But when she gets too upset, anything can enter her body. They can take over it and control it. And with Stacey's powers, a lot of people will get hurt before it's stopped."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey moaned. Ginny had just said way too much. She knew her old teacher meant well, but she had never wanted Aiden to know about the voices. Let alone this much about them.

"Honestly, though, I can block them out. I can control my emmotions well." She tried to say in a hopeful tone, knowing Ginny would probably just correct her. "Really. He just pushed me past my limit." She jerked her head in Niles`s direction.

[Aiden]

Aiden stared at the two of them quietly.  It took him a moment to take all of this in for he had known nothing about this before now.  He looked back towards Niles who sat in the back of the room alone.  He then turned his gaze back to Ginny and Stacey.

Aiden looked at Ginny for a long moment until he finally spoke, "Do you think you could help Stacey keep them out...permanently?"  His eyes were now a complete shade of black from receiving all of this new information.  Aiden gently rubbed his thumb over the back of Stacey's hand in a chance to comfort her.  He stared at the edge of the bed that she sat on as he tried to register all of this in.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny's busy hands froze, her breathing almost stopped. Instantly, she recalled asking that same question to an older psychic. Immediately she blocked her thoughts from all in the room.

Ginny shuddered and stood straight, her dark angry eyes meeting Aidens and holding them in her fierce gaze.
She moved her hands in a washing motion, shaking her head slowly.

"I am capable of removing her power. But I refuse to."

Her words were spoken with such strength, it was obvious she was adamant about this. She would refuse to remove Stacey's powers, and probably would refuse to explain why. Knowing why was almost as dangerous as actually doing the removal.

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at Ginny, careful not to drop her feirce gaze.  He didn't understand.  He thought Ginny would've wanted to help Stacey.  The two of them seemed like they respected each other.  Respect, yes. However, maybe there was some hidden meaning why Ginny wouldn't help his fiance. 

Aiden's eyes seemed to get darker.  He wasn't exactly furious that Ginny wouldn't help like he thought he would have been.  He was more puzzled and a little angry than furious. 

Aiden lifted his head up at the intelligent teacher.  "Why would you refuse?"  He dared to ask.
