Indifference.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny wasn't shocked. She knew such things happened every day. What she was upset about was that Lavender had never told her. And, as a rule, Ginny didn't dive into her friends minds. She stood there and watched.
~Lavender, that was long ago. It's over now, and you don't have to protect yourself like that. Beleive me, if you did, there would be far more killings around."

[LavyBrown]

"Ginny's right."

[_Lavender_]

In Lavender's first instinct, she tensed, with a sharp intake of breath at the sudden arms, of which wrapped around her. She wanted to break away; to run and find herself a warm cave, curl up and fall to a deep slumber, and forget about everything.
But why? What was it that fluttered about the girl? Was it pity? Or, was it something else? ...

Out of instinct, she backed away. She backed out of the girls arms, and backed away from all of them.

She would have leaned her forehead into the shoulder of the girl, though she had not known her long, who genuinely, actually, cared, and she would have wept, silent sobs of pain, of hurt, of no understanding. She would have reflected a child again, weeping into the night, pained, confused, and with no mother or dear friend, to help her dry her tears. And reflect confusion of being suddenly with friends, which would wrap their arms around her, and care for her. Her voice would have been pained, hurt, and, yet, hopeful.

But no, she backed away from them. She had known she should have not said a word. Now, she had confused herself..

"You are right Ginny," she said tonelessly, quietly. "Such things do happen every day. But, such things, one doesn't just tell another... Those thoughts were locked away from me. In that, they were locked away from everybody else."

Her midnight black wings twitched nervously. No, she was afraid not, but bringing up such thoughts left a cold effect, of which seeped into her bones, gratingly.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny stepped forward slowly.
"Of course. But you know, nothing will happen here. Not with all of us around." She said this softly. Her face showed she was worried about Lavender.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy felt what Lavender felt and she sat down giving her the space that she needed right now.

[_Lavender_]

Her ember red eyes widened slightly, as Ginny took a step foreward, and she retreated yet another step, mirroring a deer in the headlights.

"You don't know that..." she whispered. Though, her tones were not their regular - they were reflections of the child within her, that had been brutally murdered, so many long, long years, ago. If she was ever to accept that, her child self, would need to, just as deeply..

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny smiled, trying to calm her.
"It's okay Lav. I do know. You forget, I can see the future."

[LavyBrown]

Lavy looked at goblet who was steel just laying there. "Are you going to be ok." *no answer*

[numbingpayne]

Payne sat down out of shock. She put a hand to her head as visions of her own past flew in and out of her head. When they stopped she looked at Lavender"I'm sorry..." She got up and left.

[goblet_fulla_fire]

Goblet felt like he wanted to leave too, but he couldn't move very well from his injuries, he just layed down and and started to rest.

[LavyBrown]

"I'll be right back." Lavy siad to him and walked out of the room.

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"k" replied Goblet feeblily.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy came back in with a bottle. "Here, drink this it will help you heal faster." Lavy said handing him the bottle,

[goblet_fulla_fire]

"Thanks." Goblet chugged the bottle fast. "WHen do you think I will be able to walk?"

[LavyBrown]

"An hour or so."
