the only hope for me is you.

Cassie sighed, saying nothing.

Lyssa looked down at her feet.

Cassie rounded a corner and stopped suddenly as she nearly walked into someone, someone wearing a cloak that looked very like a wizard. From the corner of her eye she saw more people.

Lyssa, who practically lived on edge even now, was quick to have her hand on the handle of her wand, not trusting the sudden appearance of more people.

Cassie who hadn't really realized that as much as she disliked her wand it was safer to have it on her, shifted her weight from foot to foot, as the watched the people warily. "If it isn't the little Gryffindor cubs," One of them said watching the two of them.

"What do you want?"

"Take a guess," Regan said softly, the end of the sentence sounding like a hiss. Cassie watched the Death Eaters warily, her eyes glancing from one to the other. Cassie narrowed her eyes at the Death Eater. "I'm not guessing, leave us alone." The Death Eater looked at her amused. "And why would I do that?"

"I'll hex you into next week if you don't," Lyssa replied.

Regan laughed. "Malfoy dear, look around. There is, two, well, one. Considering your friend here is stupid enough to walk around without her wand. And, how many of us are there? Or can't you count that high?"

"I don't give a fuck how many of you there are."

"Language Malfoy, didn't your mother teach you it's bad manners to swear?"

Lyssa rolled her eyes. "Hahaha," she said sarcastically.

Cassie was feeling extremely uncomfortable being surrounded as they were. "Didn't your mother teach you it's bad manners to threaten someone?" Cassie asked, biting down on her lip. Regan looked at Cassie. "No," She said simply. "She didn't, and Evans. I'm not threatening. I'm doing." She raised her wand.

"You have five seconds to lower that again before I kill you, Regan," Lyssa hissed.

"Hm," Regan said tilting her head to the side in mock consideration. "No."

Lyssa didn't even wait five seconds. As soon as Regan's mouth was shut again her wand was up and she was saying the words.

Regan stepped sideways, glancing behind her as the spell hit a wall. "You missed," She said. Cassie's eyes widened as she watched the green light fly past and hit a wall. "Lyssa!" She exclaimed staring at her friend. "You. What. You just." She blinked. "But that." She shook her head.

Lyssa scowled and rolled her eyes at Cassie for a moment. "That thing you don't want to talk about. It doesn't go away," she said, locking her attention on Regan and debating if she should try again or what.

"Yeah," Cassie said. "But that's. You know," She gestured wildly into the air. "Oh," Regan said with a laugh. "This is priceless, some one is having moral issues here."

"Why are you here exactly?"

"I thought I told you to guess, and, before you tell me to screw it and try and kill me again," Regan said with a gesture of her head to another Death Eater who stood closer, their wand pressing against Cassie's neck, who froze. "Move at all, and you can say bye-bye, to your little friend over here." Regan had her wand pointed at Lyssa again. "Same goes to you Evans, any funny business and well," She gestured towards Lyssa. Cassie let out a string of swear words.

Lyssa froze in place, not even so much as uttering a word. She just glared at Regan with as much hate as a face could hold.

Regan smiled at her, not seeming the slight bit fazed at the look of loathing she was getting. She flicked her wand, disarming Lyssa.

"Sam will wonder what's keeping us..." Lyssa muttered.

"Oh shit," Cassie exclaimed. "Oh shit, fuck, fucking shit fuck fuck. She is so going to freak, oh fuck shit." "Language Evans," Regan said with a smirk. "The mudblood has already lost one child, I'm sure the loss of a second won't cause as much grief." Cassie scowled. "Don't call my mum a- Ow!" She exclaimed as the wand was pushed harder into her neck.
