Mesedj sighed. "I just wish I hadn't met Gryffin at all," she confessed.

Alea sighed. "It can't have been that bad. At least you're in two different houses, so you can avoid him as much as possible." Alea really wanted to ask her what happened, but she knew she would have to let Mesedj tell her.

Mesedj stared at her. "But that's the problem! If we were anything but Slytherin and Gryffindor it wouldn't matter!"

Alea blinked, startled by Mesedj's sudden outburst. ((yeah, I know you didn't yell, but she's still shy)) "Mesedj, is this about Bella and Lucius, or something else?" You still have a burden on your heart, she thought to herself.

Mesedj looked up at Alea for a moment, then decided to trust her with this. "He... I think he loves me. But if Bella and Lucius ever found out..."

Alea looked at her friend, still slouched against the wall. "Mesedj, I don't really think Bella and Lucius would do much to you. I know they can be...difficult...but it's not like they'll kill you or anything. And, if Gryffin loves you, do you love him back?"

((Ah, I've got to go. I hope I'll be on today again, but if not, talk to ya Wednesday))

Mesedj stared at Alea, eyes welling up with tears again. "Yes! I... and I have to pretend I don't so he won't.... Bellatrix and Lucius would be furious if they found out, and the Dark Lord... Alea, Gryffin is Muggleborn! They'd kill him in a heartbeat!"

((Yay, I'm back! Keep in mind here that Alea doesn't know about the Death Eaters at Hogwarts)) Alea's eyes widened as the meaning of this all sank in. "You mean Bella and Lucius..." she trailed off, seeing the tears in her friend's eyes. "Oh, Mesedj, I'm so sorry!" her brilliant green eyes shone with sympathy.

Mesedj rubbed her eyes again, and as she did her left sleeve fell down, exposing the Dark Mark.

Alea did not gasp, as most people would have, but blinked up at Mesedj, confused. "Mesedj, what...?"

Mesedj looked puzzled for a moment, then glanced down and saw her exposed left arm. "Alea, I..." She sighed. "It's not because I hate Muggles or Muggleborns, it's because they accepted me. I know that sounds strange, but they did." Her right hand went up to twist her hair around a finger. "I was ten when my parents died. For four years afterwards I moved from one wizard house to another. They were all the same- once they found out I had the Sight, they didn't want me around anymore. Finally Lucius asked me if I was interested in joining the Death Eaters and took me to a meeting. I felt at home there."

Alea felt Mesedj go from distraught to nervous and unsure and felt sorry for her. She knew what it was like to not be accepted. "Mesedj, don't worry. I'm here for you. I won't turn you away because you're different. I know what it's like, not being accepted," she said, ducking her head a bit. Once people found out she could read peoples' emotions and see their hearts, no one wanted to know her-the freakish girl who could read minds.

Mesedj smiled a little. "Thanks." Then she blinked. "Maybe if I tell Gryffin I have the Sight he'll leave me alone. I mean, Muggles don't think that's possible, do they? Seeing the future?"

Alea shook her head. "Sorry, Mesedj, but I don't think he'll do that. He loves you, and he was hurt by what you said to him in the forest..." she trailed off, realizing she had said too much about what she knew.
