Shawn walked onto the train and looked around. He pulled his trunk into an empty compartment and sat,staring out the window.
Ginny walked past with a list of students in her hand. She winced as she walked. She stopped outside of Shawn's compartment and peeked in.
"Shawn, right?" She asked, quietly.
Shawn looked at her and said,"Yeah, that's me."
She nodded, checking off his name. She winced again and rubbed her forhead.
"Alright, thanks." She muttered, still rubbing her forhead.
"You alright?"Shawn said looking slightly worried, though you couldn't tell unless you were looking at his face.
"Yeah." She said, not looking back up from her list. After a moment, she did, though.
"Here's your schedual, a list of rules for the school, and the rules for the forest." She said, snapping her fingers. The papers apeared on his lap.
He picked up the papers and his eyes scanned them."Thanks."He mumbled then looked up at her."You sure you're alright?"
She lowered her head, her eyes locking onto his.
"Yes." She smiled then, and pushed her bright red hair out of her eyes.
"By the way, I'm Ginny Weasly. If you break any of the rules, mostly the forest ones, I get to make sure your punishment matchs your crime." She said.
Shawn saluted,"Yes ma'am."His voice had a light southern accent.
She laughed.
"That's a good soldier. What year are you in, Shawn?" She asked, tilting her head. She was supposed to be working, but she could run later. After all, the train hadn't even started moving yet.
"7th. I learned everything I missed in my seven years away from magick this summer."
"Cool." She growled slightly as her watch beeped. And she hit a button to shut it off.
"Having problems?"
"It's my bosses. They're telling me to finishe passing out scheduals or I can consider myself fired." She suddenly smirked.
"Of course, there is an easy way for everything." She snapped her fingers twice, making her own paper dissappear, and yells of surprise ring through the train and some students were startled by their sudden scheduals and rules.
Shawn laughed,"That's one way to do it. I was gonna help you but I guess you're a pretty powerful person."
"One of the top ten of the people at school." She didn't say student, though.
"My brother Ron, same year as you, is about match to me. You never know how a fight between us will turn out!" She smirked.
Shawn smiled,"I bet. Top ten at the school? Guess I will have to train twice as hard,huh?"
"Shawn, it took alot more work then you'd think to get that power. Kiara, one of the most powerful among us has had more troubles then you'd think. Lavender, another one of the most powerful has had to live on her own since she was a small child. I've delt with things I'd rather not talk about, my brother has as well, though I never even hear him mention them. All of us have come close to blowing up the school, thoe country, the world, at least once before." She said, softly, her eyes darkening. She sighed and pulled a hairtie from her wrist, pulling her hair up. She leaned into the door frame as the whistle blew.
Neo laughed. "No one can defeate Ginny, believe me, I've tried. How are ya Gin?" He looked over at Shawn "I'm Neo, who are you?"
"Shawn Keris."Shawn said looking at Neo.
"Nice to meet you Shawn" Neo replied, extending his hand.
Ginny smiled at Neo.
"Hi there. People can too beat me. I've never had to fight some people, so we don't know how that would turn out."
Shawn shook Neo's hand and stood, looking at Ginny,"I'm sure you could defeat anything you came across Ginny. You would be a great extentsion to my army."
Ginny laughed. She laughed so hard she fell to her knees.
Neo shook his head. "You got lots to learn about Ginny, dude. I've already tried to get her to join mine. I learned the hard way, she's her own army on her own side."
"Seems that way..."Shawn said looking at Ginny quizzically."Wait. You have an army?"He looked back at Neo.
Ginny continued laughed for another moment before standing.
"I'm sorry Shawn. I'll help you if it's threating to your life, but I wo't join anyones army. I have problems with taking orders."
Neo nodded. "Yep, one of the most powerful in at least the Western world, and Lavy Brown, you'll probablly meet her soon, is my Second in command. Usually I try not to talk about our cause around Ginny since she opposes it."
"He wants to control the population of magic. It's dictaorship!" She said, folding her arms and frowning.
"Hmmmm...Don't suppose you've heard of the Rebellion? Probably not since it on the other side of the world."
Ginny sighed. She hated being ignored. She ran a hand over her eyes, momentairly blocking the light which was hurting her head.
"Sorry Gin. Guess I got to caught up in seeing if anyone has heard of my army."He smiled warmly at her.
~~I heard my name..a while ago maybe, but I was asleep..~~ came a soft voice, melodious, velvety, tinted with detachment, pain, and nothing other than sheer iciness, her voice sounding in their thoughts, non-existant in true sound.
What had been the black shadow in the corner of the cart materialized into the form of a small, thin, cute little form of a black kitten, padding about the floor, leaping gracefully to the table, dazzling green eyes flickering over them both as she sat, ears drooped tiredly, her tail about her legs, a long, uncovered pair of gashes spreading from the spine of her delicate back, to the firm muscles of her finely toned thigh.
She sank to her side, yawning lightly, interested in the new face, sending a soft, sisterly thought to Ginny.
~We're not ignoring you Gin, we're sizing eachother up.~
"Nope, I haven't heard of it. What do you stand for? Oh, and Ginny, that's not what I want, we want to unite the magic and muggle worlds under our government and control until the desegregation is complete."
She moved her hand and peeked out, squinting.
"Yeah. Whatever." She mumbled, blocking the light again and walking over to a seat. She smiled at lavender the kitten.
Shawn looked at the kitten that sat next to Ginny."I...We are just trying to take down the Desert Alliance right now."He said glancing at Neo.
"The what?"
Ginny winced again, then reached over to pet Lavender.
Neo noticed Ginny wincing again. "Gin, whats wrong?" Neo asked, slightly worried.
Shawn looked at Ginny."You alright?"
"I'm fine." her voice came out harshly. She got like this when she wasn't okay, but was trying to convince everyone she was.
"You're not a good lier."
"Actually, I am. And don't try getting in my head again, or you'll get a brain freeze. Permant kind." She said, lowly, her eyes flashing, even as she winced again.
"I wasn't. Listen, we need to get you some help before you hurt yourself."
"Shawn, for one, I don't need anyone telling me what to do. Especially not a student. For another, I won't hurt myself anymore then I've been hurt." She said, darkly.
"Sorry, I'll never worry about you again."He said bitterly.
"Gin, stop being stubborn, you know you need help and that in the end we are going to bring you to the nurse, so how about we just skip the usual routine and go directly to the part where we take you to the nurse? Hmm?"
She growled at him then grabbed her temples, lowering her head.
"Gin, we have to get you to the nurse. So quit being so d@mn stubborn."
"We're on a train and the nurse can't do anything anyways!" She said between clenched teeth.
Neo looked at her with a penetrating stare. ~Ginny, my physic powers are not as advanced as yours or Lavy's, but they are still powerful, don't make me go in your head to find out whats wrong.~
Shawn closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He sat down and stared out the window. Fine, see if I care.
"Shut up Neo! Shawn, stop thinking and I'll be fine." She said, closing her eyes.
Shawn summoned a fireball and threw it up and down to stop himself from thinking.
"Fine."
~_Lavender_, I need you to help me with this, can you convince Ginny to let us help her? She'll listen to you.~
{{'Tis just Lavender or Lav, dear. lolz ^.- }}
The black kitten growled, before it materialized into the form of Lavender, dressed already in her crisp, black robes, a solid black cloak set over her collar, concealing her firm, toned, thin form, though her finely honed features were very evident. She wore unique blacks, that in themselves, were not at all relative to school clothing. Lavender never really cared about such things.
Her raven hair was down, silky smooth, reaching to the lower part of her back, her metallic green eyes watching, forever curious, from her pale being.
"Your psychic powers may be so strong, but if your thoughts are leading you to places where you do not belong, and are not invited, you are sadly mistaken, male, if you are wishing to continue freely."
Lavender's icy tones rang out will loss of their former melodies, dangerous, testy.
She faced Neo calmly, though there was an unregistered detachment - about the pain eminating from her mauled side, and true worry of Ginny's being. She knew Ginny would listen to her - maybe not hear her out all the way, but she would do as Lavender would do, had done, not too far back. She seemed to watch them all, her features blank.
Ginny fliched as Lavenders gaze wandered over her. She would listent to lavender, only because if she didn't Lavender was able to make her do it.
(lol ok)
"Don't even try and intimidate me Lavender, this is for Ginny's own good, leave your mental line in the sand for another time and for someone who cares, we need to help her right now" Neo growled back at her, tense, ready for anything which might happen.
Ginny sighed and stood, pushing past lavender and eo, making her way into the hall and leaning against the wall. The trains rocked her slihtly.
Lavender watched him with that same lost, blank detachment. An utterly chilling calm had seeped into her very being, and just as she was annoyed by his childishness, she had no feeling of it. She shook her head, too tired to reply, and did what he was probably least expecting: she backed down. Unnervingly odd - Lavender was never one to back down. She never had been.
She turned and went to Ginny, her green eyes meeting hers with a soft, sisterly closeness, intense, worried, and wanting to know what it was that was bothering her. She said nothing, knowing such would reach Ginny anyway.
Shawn stood up and looked at the group,"Maybe we should just leave her alone."
Ginny looked up, through the open door and watched Shawn.
Shawn felt the train slow down as it neared Hogsmead. He nodded at them and grabbed his stuff and left.
Ginny didn't have anything with her, so she just walked off the train, changing her expression. She teleported to the fron of the crowd.
"First years, over there. The rest of you in the carriges!" She shouted, doing her job. She would also have to check the compartments after eveyone departed.
Shawn walked to the carriages and got in a empty one.
The door opened again and then closed but no one stepped in. "Hello." said a voice. "I don't believe we've met."
