Backup Plan

[LavyBrown]

Lavy rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe that all her planning and yes some scheming as well was about to go to waste. Over some little insignificant detail. She sat down thinking about anyway around it. She needed to use her backup plan. The thought of that sent shivers down her spine.

She knew what plan B intailed. Murder. She hadn't killed anyone, accident or not, in over two years. It came with the territory, she knew, she had accepted that her hands would be covered with blood from what she and Neo had done. But since he and nearly lost his mind, murder, to her relief had taken a backseat. And now it was trying to take the wheel again. Her absolute frustration resulted in her kicking a desk over just as the common room door swung open. 

[Aiden]

Aiden slowly peeked his head through the common room door.  He had heard a crash come from inside the room, so he decided to investigate what it was.  When he looked inside he saw Lavy knock over the desk. Aiden peered around, wondering if there had been a fight, but it was only her in the room.  He pressed his lips together into a line.  Aiden hated seeing people upset.

Aiden took a few steps inside the common room, and closed the door. He looked at Lavy, and noticed she seemed deeply upset about something.  He started to walk over towards her.
"Lavy, whats troubling you?"  Aiden asked, his lips beginning to curve into a frown.

[LavyBrown]

She looked up, startled. She could always hear when someone had eantered a room. She hadn't noticed Aiden at all until he actually said something. That scared her a little. Maybe she was losing her touch.

"Oh, nothing, Aidan. Homework, it's hell you know." She said with a shrug, picking the desk back up. She hoped that Aidain never noticed that she hadn't actually been to class in over a month. There was no need, she already know everything they were teaching, "Sometimes it gets to be too much."

[Aiden]

Aiden looked at Lavy, his eyes now a darker shade than their normal brown color.  He walked over to the desk, and picked it up. He sat it upright with much ease. It may have been heavy to other, but not for him.  Aiden leaned over the top of the desk, facing Lavy.

"Honestly, I wouldn't know much about that."  Aiden said, shining his perfectly white teeth as he smiled lightly.
Aiden rarely ever went to class likehe should.  He'd maybe go once every few weeks, so he barely noticed who he had in what classes.

"If you would like, I could try to help.  I doubt I'd be that helpful, but I might be able to give you a few answers." Aiden offered quietly, trying to help her out.

[LavyBrown]

She felt bad for lying to him but what else could she do. Telling him the truth wasn't a good option right now. She didn't know how he would react to something like that. She didn't need another person looking at her in jugement. She had gotten enough of that from others .

"Ummm....I don't know. I would feel bad asking for help." She said on the spot. She had to give him an answer but saying no might shut him down. She really didn't want to be alone at the moment. She might go off and do plan B if she was.

[Aiden]

Aiden pressed his lips together again.  He could tell something else was wrong.  It wasn't that hard to tell.  She seemed to be much more upset about something else instead of some homework problem.  He leaned closer, resting his arms on the desk and shrugging his shoulders back.
"Is something else wrong?"  Aiden asked Lavy quietly, raising an eyebrow and tilting his head to one side curiously.

The halls were almost empty except for a few people here and there. Stacey was one of those people, except she difted around in a purposefull way instead of just wandering and chating to friends. Her ears were set on the common room; her place that seemed so much more like a home than her mother`s house.

It was only because she was so intent on it did she hear the voices and feel her stomach get warmer. She smiled. Aiden was in the common room. She didn`t notice how her steps became a little more quick-paced.

She slowly and silently opened the door to the common room and peered in, her eyes shimmering blue.

Lavy? She thought, half surprised and half worried. She hadn`t seen Lavy for a few weeks, and she had been rather... upset when she last spoke to her. She took a few quick steps and looked at Aiden, questions in her eyes, but she couldn`t stop the smile that spread across her face even if she wanted to.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy looked up when Stacey entered the room. She took a deep breath, she had to get past the situation without letting them know too much. Letting other people in on what she had to do would only complicate tings more.

"Hey, Stacey," she said cheerfully, ignoring Aiden's question "How are you?"

[potter_fan122]

Stacey tilted her head and narrowed her eyes. She knew something was up; she had spent enough time around Lavy to know. Not a whole lot, but enough.

She took aiden`s hand, twisting her fingers through his. Lavy`s last opinion on them being together wasn`t exactly how things were but that was a long time ago, and she could deal with this much right now.

"What`s wrong?" she asked in an innocent tone.

[LavyBrown]

"My job at the Ministry...it's getting to be a mad house in there," She said. Not a lie.In fact tha was the truth. Her job was forcing her into this corner, "I think I can count the number of sane people left there on one hand."

She looked down at their hands.She chose to leave that alone. They were old enough to make their own decisions. She had made her peace on the subject.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey tilted her head to the side, her eyes glowing a blue-grey with worry.

Lavy, really, what`s wrong? She thought to the other. Aiden couldn`t read minds, so Lavy wouldn`t have to share her secret with him, but Stacey really wanted to know. Lavy had helped her through a lot, it was time that she could return the favor.
