A Change of Pace: RoA

Lyssa was at the back of the crowd, standing next to Cassie, trying to see what was going on in the middle of the room, since they'd gotten pushed back by the adults in the heat of battle. Then everything froze. She looked over at Cassie, suddenly incredibly anxious. "What just happened?" she asked, still trying to see.

"I don't know," Cassie said, standing on her toes trying to see over the adults. Giving up on that, as it wasn't working she jumped up, using Lyssa's shoulders to help her get higher, much to the girls disgruntleness. "Oh crap," Cassie said getting a glimpse of the scene. "Come on, we need to get out of here before people start to act." She grabbed Lyssa's arm, pulling her out of the great hall. She didn't want to be inside the school when Voldemort started to take full charge now that Harry was dead. "Harry died," She said in explanation to Lyssa. "And while I don't like that jerk, now Voldemort just about has free reign."

"Oi!" Lyssa hissed when Cassie used her shoulder for jumping and then when Cassie started to yank her along. And she about stopped dead in her tracks when Cassie said Harry was dead. But, she kept going because Cassie was pulling her. "You're not serious..." she muttered. "Slow the hell down before I fall! Or let go!"

Cassie let go of Lyssa's arm. "Yes I am serious, and I would rather be no-one near Hogwarts once it sinks in to Voldemort that he is dead, because then we are screwed. Which can't end well." Cassie didn't stop walking, her mind reeling around what was going to happen now, what they would do.

Lyssa followed behind Cassie, though not as fast as the other girl was walking since that would just make Lyss unbalanced. The two passed the gates finally. "So just what are we going to do?" Lyssa asked. "Because we can't very well just run."

"My aunts place," Cassie said the thought just coming to her. "She died last year and left me her house in her will. Lizzie had a fit. But that's beside the point." She blinked, getting an idea. Which was probably a rather stupid one but she didn't care. "I have an idea," She said turning to look at Lyssa. "I'll tell you about it when we get to a safe place."

Lyssa nodded then looked back toward the castle. "What about everyone that's still in there? With him. What are they going to do," she was truly concerned, because quite a few people she'd gotten to know over the years were there, and an important family member.

Cassie shrugged. "I don't know," She said with a slight frown. She was a little worried about them as well. But there was nothing that she could do about it.

Lyssa frowned. "So, where are we going?" she asked. "Or are you just to side-along me there or something?"

"You can side-along," Cassie said. "It'll be easier anyway." Also to the fact that Cassie knew the place but didn't know exactly where it was.

"Fine with me," Lyssa said, taking a step so that Cassie could grab her arm to get them there. She had a feeling that Death Eaters would be around to guard the school gates soon and they were standing right in front of them.

Once Lyssa was holding firmly onto Cassie's arm the girl picture the place in her mind and apparated outside the wards of her aunts place. She was going to need to make some new wards to go with the ones already up, just to be safe.

Lyssa looked at the house. She could see it pretty well, from the moon, even though it was nighttime. "Not a bad place," she commented.

Cassie nodded slightly, entering through the wards and towards the house. She tapped the doornob murmering a spell under her breath causing it to swing open. Her aunt hadn't bothered with keys, she changed a spell slightly making it her own to use as the key for the door. Cassie opened the door, allowing Lyssa to walk through.

Lyssa followed Cassie into the house, still looking around. It was quite the nice house. "So," she said looking at Cassie, "what's this plan of yours?"

"Well," Cassie said shutting the door and walking into the loungue room. the house was somewhat dirty, as all the dust had accumulated since her aunt died. "You are probably going to think I'm being stupid or something. But, I think that we could, and by we I don't just mean you and me. Anyway, I think that we could make our own...army..to y'know. Fight Vol-"

Lyssa was listening and nodding until Cassie went to say Voldemort. Then she swiftly put her hand over the other girl's mouth mid-word. "Don't say his name," she hissed. "It's tabooed. He would find us if you did."

Cassie was startled enough when Lyssa put her hand over her mouth that she stopped talking. She nodded slightly at Lyssa, thinking that from the Death Eaters point of view it was actually quite a good idea, but frustrating from the other sides. "Alright," She said, trying to drill it into her brain not to say the name.

Lyssa nodded. "Continue with your idea, without using his name, or I will put my hand over your mouth again."

Cassie nodded. "So, I know that there is the Order, but they won't let us join because we are 'too young' so I was thinking, to do like a spin on Dumbledore's Army in a way. Though, to change it, and the name adn that crap. Cause that was Harry's army. Anyway, but to make it an army made of people our age, and of the older years at Hogwarts and the ones who graduated just a few years ago."

"So basically make an army to fight you-know-who where the younger people who want to help can actually help?" Lyssa asked to clarify.

"Yep," Cassie said with a nod. "Exactly that."

Lyssa thought it over for a minute. "I'm in," she said with a smile.

Cassie grinned. "Awesome," She said.

"Although, you neglected to explain how we're going to get people in this army, when all the people are trapped at Hogwarts."
