Ravenclaw Common Room

She placed a comforting hand on his shoulder; Riley had heard more ridiculous death stories before. "How is that your fault?"

Blaire glanced at the sound of Marcus's voice. She frowned and saw Riley walking and then sitting beside him.

"Oh come on Brisa. Let go of him." Blaire coaxed Brisa.

Brisa shook her head and Aiden frowned.

"Brisa please. I am losing circulation in my legs." He muttered

Jenny watched, concerned, as Blaire and Aiden tried to detach Brisa from Aiden's legs. "They don't look to be having much luck." she said to Stefan.

Stefan laughed.

"She's very attatched to him. Not so much Blaire. Then again she grew up with them."

Brisa finally let go and ran to cling onto her sister's legs.

"Ouch BRIS!" Blaire flailed her arms.

Gabe looked up laughing at the scene.

Marcus sighed as a tear formed in the pit of his eye, "I wasn't paying enough attention, and I should have." he wiped his eye before she could see how much of a baby he was being.

Riley glared at Gabe but couldn't help laughing when she saw his face. "Sorry, sorry. Well, there's no way to change what's already happened."

Blaire almost fell over but Aiden caught her smoothly. They were used to catching each other. Especially when Brisa was involved.

"Brisa. Come on." She freed her left leg and wiggled her right.

"Bear. I'm scared. There is soo many people here." Brisa whispered.

Stefan laughed

Jenny laughed, and as if on cue another person stepped into the room. She was small though, couldn't have been more than a second year, maybe even a first (ooc it's valerie but i haven't posted her bio yet...my bad!)

Marcus sighed "I know" he already felt better taking to her.

Gabe looked at Brisa, and smiled she was short and adorable. Then he looked up at Blaire and he laughed again.

Brisa glanced at the opening door.

"Bear. How does it do that?"

"I already told you. As did Stefan and Aiden. Magic."

"Bear..."

Gabe looked at Brisa again, "It's true you know this is a school of magic..." he smiled at the little girl, she looked kinda frightened.

She smiled. "So enjoy yourself! We're at Hogwarts!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Valerie looked around, the common room was full of much older students. She only recognized one girl about her age.

Marcus sighed, already forgotten. he thought. He got up to take a walk, in the halls.

Riley sighed as Marcus got up, and debated whether or not to follow him. She did.

He was faintly aware that the girl was following him, once out of the common room he stopped and turned around. "I'm sorry but I just needed to stand out here or take a walk, im upset so much because she was my only sister, she was a little kid and I loved her more then anything in the world, I was like her hero." he sighed, he didn't expect her to understand. He slipped onto the floor.

Blaire grinned at Gabe.

"See now he's telling you. Please let go." Blaire murmured to her sister.

Brisa stared at Gabe.

"Bear. Who's that?"

"When I was four years old," she said, "My brother took me to a playground. He stopped to talk to his friends and I fell and broke my arm. He felt soooo bad-Peter's still my hero. I can't possibly imagine what you're going through right now. " Riley finished. "But I can sit here and talk to you." She slid down beside him.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenny grinned. "That's Blaire's boyfriend, Gabe, Brisa."

Gabe staired at Jenny, "What?" he was deeply confused.

~!*~!*~*~*~**~*~~**~!~!*!~*!~*

Marcus smiled for the first time, really smiled. "So you kinda know what the bond is like at least from your point of view, she was my world, that little girl, she was"

Blaire's eyes widened.

"Uh. Excuse me Jen? He doesn't even like me. We're just friends."

Stefan laughed at Blaire and Aiden chuckled.

Brisa's big brown eyes grew larger.

"You say that now." Jenny said, laughing. Oh the memories.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well she probably wouldn't be too happy to find you sulking around when you're in such a magical place as this."

Gabe looked at Blaire, he didn't like her he was one step off loving her. "Are you saying Blaire likes me like that??" he was honestly curious.

~!@#$%^&*~!@#$%^&*~!@#$%^&*

He was laughing now, really laughing, the sound of her voice made him so happy.

Blaire frowned. Oh god. What had she gotten into.

"Uh." She looked pleadingly at Aiden who grinned.

Brisa un-tangled herself from Blaire and walked slowly towards Gabe.

"I don't know. What am I saying?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riley laughed along, his laughter was contagious. She suddenly felt a lot better about returning to Hogwarts.

"What are you saying?" Blaire wondered.

Stefan tightened his arm around Jenny and laughed.

Brisa looked at Gabe cautiously.

"Well at least Stef gets it." she said. "Aiden too, I suppose."
