the only hope for me is you.

"I guess..." Lyssa sighed. "Except, I know she hates me. You didn't."

"I don't know Lyss, she may be acting yeah but," Cassie shrugged. "I dunno."

"She told me that if she could swap my life for someone else's that she would were it not for you. That's not exactly conducive to being nice to me."

"Yeah true," Cassie ran her hand through her hair. "I think she might have been referring to Liz there. She'd swap just about anyone's life for her." Cassie shrugged grabbing another handful of popcorn.

"I know she was, but that doesn't change the fact that she said that to me."

"No it doesn't, but honestly, I don't think she was paying attention to the affects she was having on you at that point."

"Well, it had a major effect on me. You saw that."

"I know, which is why I think she's wasn't acting then, cause she saw that." Cass shrugged.

"Suppose not, although you'd think she'd be glad if I did kill myself. Get her daughter's murderer out of her house."

"Lyssa," Cassie said. "She doesn't want anyone dead, she may want you out of the house, but she doesn't want you dead."

"I still say it'd be better that way."

"Believe me, it's not."

"Says you."

"Yes, says me. But I'm sure I'm not the only one."

"you're the only one I'm hearing though."

"Okay, I'll take you to your mother and Draco then," Cassie said. "Then you'd be hearing A LOT of them."

"You do that then."

"Okay, let's go."

"Go?"

"Yes go, I'm going to convince you that I'm not the only one that thinks you need to keep living."

"So we're going to the Manor?"

"Yep."

"Lovely..."

Cassie went upstairs and grabbed her wand. "Mum," She called. "We're going out." "Okay," Sam said, an edge of worry in her tone. "Be careful." "Yep. Come on Lyss."

"Cass, do we have to?"
