29! Hey Tsuki guess what! 1 more and we'll have 30!

A few more days passed by and soon Lyssa's cough had almost completely gone away, which she was grateful for. She was also allowed out of bed now, and could walk around so long as she didn't do anything strenuous and if she came to the medical place at least once a day to get checked over until she was completely better.

"You look better," Cassie told Lyssa open seeing the other girl walking abut.

"I feel better," Lyssa replied.

"That's good," Cassie said as the two girls made their way off to breakast. It was around tenish and although Lyssa usaully slept late being stuck in bed for a while had probably moticated her to get out earlier then she usaully did. Cassie sighed as she bit into a peice of toast, she was incredivly tired of the war and all the fighting, she just wanted it to end so she could get on with her life without having to worry about someone trying to kill her and people she loved.

Lyssa nodded at Cassie, running her hand through her properly blond and short hair. The two girls walked to breakfast where Lyssa got herself some cereal. She could never understand Cassie and toast, preferring cereal herself. But instead of eating the cereal, Lyssa just sort of moved her spoon around in the bowl, not really hungry.

Cassie sighed as she finsihed her toast and started to clean up her plate and the other things she had used to eat her breakfast. Putting the milk back into the fridge she sighed sitting back down at the table and wondering if the Order had anything planned for the day, she also wondered if it would be safe to go and visit her family. She missed her mum and her mum probably wondered what on earth was happening with her, as Cassie hadn't talked to her for a while. She also missed Lizzie, who completly refused to have anything to do with the magical world, it was actually rather amusing some of the time.

Lyssa continued to poke at her cereal, even as Cassie finished her toast and cleaned up after herself. The cereal had become soggy and soft by now, but Lyssa didn't pay it any mind. She was too busy thinking about how much of a mess her family had become lately. Her brother was dead, her mother had basically just betrayed her father and everything he stood for, and her father, well he was a nutter and Lyssa didn't want to think about him. She sighed and stood up to empty out the still full cereal bowl.

Cassie didn't even notice Lyssa's bowl was still full, she had her thoughts on other matters. The Gryffindor girl made her way back to her room that she stayed in at the Order's Head Quuaters and pulled out a letter and quill to write to her mother. She also pulled out some normal paper, a pen and a stamp to write to Lizzie, because Lizzie would not appraite Cassie sending her mail by owl. Cassie wrote two letters, the one to her mum about what was going on and the one to Lizzie trying to talk about her life without bringing evil dark lords and magic into it. Which wasn't exactly easy. In the end she managed and sent the letter off to her mother with an owl, she then apperated to a mail box and slid the letter to Lizzie inside the mail box.

After having dealt with her uneaten breakfast, Lyssa decided she wanted to go for a walk outside. She headed out of the headquarters and to the yard. There was a small garden there that always helped Lyssa to clear her thoughts when they started to get to her again. She sat down on the small, stone path that ran down the middle of it, crossing her legs, and rested her chin on her hand, staring at a small group of Forget-Me-Nots.

Cassie took a de-tour at the Audentia HQ to make sure that everyone there was fine and that she was sorry she hadn't been around much it was just more convient for her to be at the Order because knowing the Order they wouldn't tell her anything unless she was there demanding to know what the hell had happened. She grabbed a few of her belongings that she wanted and made her way back to the Order's hq. She entered the grounds and made her way back up to the room wondering what she would be doing right now if Voldemort had stayed dead. Probably studying like made for her Newts.

Lyssa sat there for a short while longer, until her mind had cleared some. Just as she was standing up she heard the loud crack of thunder, which caused her to jump, startled at the sound. She made her way inside and to her room before it thundered again. Lyssa looked out her window anxiously. She hated thunderstorms. They frightened her to no end, although she never knew why. Probably just because it seemed so dangerous, the storm.

From her room Cassie could hear the crack of thunder, she supposed that a storm was going. Unlike Lyssa Cassie didn't mind storms, just as long as she wasn't out in them. She was perfectly content to watch them from a nice warm dry place inside. The girl pulled out a book she had started and lying down on her bed she flicked to her book marked page.

The thunder had gotten worse, and once the sky had darkened for the storm, the lightning was also pretty bad. Lyssa had closed her curtain, but that honestly didn't help anything at all. She could still hear the thunder and would jump every time she heard it. It was a time like this that she wanted Draco around because he could always find some way to distract her from being scared.

Cassie threw the book onto the otherwise of the bed, she threw it a little too hard and it tumbled off the other side. Stoping to pick up the book and put it on her bed she made her way through the building. stopping a few times to look out the window and watching the rain pour down and the lightening flash across the sky. "You ok?" Cassie asked knocking on Lyssa's door and then opening it. She'd remembered that her younger freind was afraid of storms.

As the storm got worse, Lyssa had curled her knees up to her chest, staring at the window. They really did terrify her, and this one was causing her to nearly tremble. She'd never understood her fear. It just simply was there, with no explanation. She hadn't heard Cassie knocking or asking if she was ok, since right as that moment it had decided to thunder loudly.

Cassie shutthe door behind her and went to sit on the bed next to her best freind. Who kept jumping each time a roll of thunder roared. Cassie wondered what it was about storms that scared Lyssa, butshe supposed she wouldn't get it unless she was also scared of them. "You ok?" Cassie asked her again hoping that more thunder wouldn't blow again while she was talking and have to say it again 'cause Cassie doesn't really like repeating herself.

Lyssa jumped, startled not by thunder this time, but by Cassie's voice. She hadn't even realized the other girl was there until the moment she spoke, too wrapped up in the storm. Turning away from the window, she looked at her best friend with a shrug, about to reply when a bit of thunder startled her again. "No, actually, I'm not ok," she finally said once she calmed down.

Cassie frowned as another roll of thunder crashed through the sky. The two girls just say there until the storm finished talking, Cassie trying to calm Lyssa down whever she got scared because of the storm. Once the storm had finished Cassie yawned. "S'pose I should go to bed." She said yawning again. "Night Lyss."

Lyssa found herself thankful to have Cassie as her friend, as the slightly older girl kept her calm throughout the storm. Once it was over, Lyssa was still a little jumpy, but she nodded to Cassie when the other girl went to leave the room. "Night Cassie," she responded.

It took Cassie a few wrong turns to make her way back to her room, but then Cassie failed at directions when she was half asleep. She also nearly ended up walking into a few wrong rooms. Cassie didn't even bother changing once she got back into her room, she just lay back on her bed, pulled the covers over here and then feel asleep.

Lyssa sat curled up on her bed for a while longer, still listening to the remenants of the rain dripping from the room. Then slowly, she uncurled herself, legs sore from being pulled up so long. She changed into her pajamas, and got under her cover, tossing and turning for a long while until finally her eyes settled down to sleep.

A feww weeks passed and by then Lyssa was completly better. Sometime around that time Audentia got news of another raid and both them and the Order went to stop the DeathEaters doing whatever crap they did at raids.

Lyssa was slightly weary, havng never offiially helped out the Order or Audentia with fighting Death EAters. Sure she'd shown up a couple times but that was befoRe they knew who she was. But things were going well.'then Lyssa saw the girl from the Manor; the one who had caught her, and the one that had made a crack about Draco. Lyssa frowned at her.

Cassie saw a Death Eater and threw a hex at it's turned back, getting reminded of Mad-eye Moody turning Draco into a ferret for trying to hex Harry when his back was turned, though she pushed that out of her mind as her hex missed the Death Eater and the Death Eater turned around to fire something back at her which Cassie relfected.

A thougt came to Lyssa then. What if this girl was the one that killed her brother? Lyssa's frown turned to a scowl as she watched the girl duel. She was good at it, Lyssa would give her that.


(Can't think of how to initiate the duel)
