Maybe She's a Masochist

[Gemma Rae Starr]

"Right, because that clearly sounds like a wonderful idea. Although I'm sure they'd love to have us over for dinner."

Rae smiled, knowing she was being a bit stupid but not caring; stupid worked for her. "I'm sure they would; it has to get lonely, being a snake in the Forbidden Forest. I mean, if it's forbidden, it can't be a very social place, can it? Nobody is allowed to visit. It's almost sad," Rae said, frowning. It really must be sad. On some level ,she could identify with that loneliness. She'd have to go and visit there sometime. She didn't suspect the snakes would be too nice and didn't fancy actually meeting them, but perhaps, if she brought them something good to eat and sprinkled it in the grass, they'd at least know that someone was thinking about them. Rae liked to think that someone, somewhere was thinking about her. Maybe her father, whoever he was. Or maybe even her mum; she hadn't always been hateful to her. She had some days where she saw in Rae her little baby girl.

Or at least, she could count on her aunt. She hoped Rosie was thinking of her; Rae didn't think anyone at Hogwarts would.

Rae suddenly stopped and looked around, taking in their surroundings. They were no longer in the dungeons at all.

"Hey, we're in the corridors! But...where are we heading exactly?" Rae turned to Caitlyn with a puzzled expression, then her eyes widened and she began searching her sodden robes for her schedule. She found it in one of the pockets...but it was soaked and completely illegible.

"Oh no!" she cried in dismay, dropping her robes and trying to unfold the schedule and turn it in a way that she could read it. It didn't work. "I...what am I going to do?"

[Caitlyn Wren Clark]

"I...what am I going to do?"

Caitlyn rolled her eyes. "I told you sitting was a bad idea. You should have listened to me. Have fun figuring out your schedule. Seeing as you don't need me, I think I'll head to dinner." After all, if Gemma didn't know what other classes she had, how was Caitlyn supposed to help? ...never mind that she still remembered most of Gemma's classes. She wasn't in a particularly helpful mood, and Gemma wasn't going to just remember them if Caitlyn showed her.

So Caitlyn pushed past her to head to the Great Hall. She was feeling kind of peckish, anyway. Hopefully the Slytherin they'd met earlier wouldn't show up for dinner while she was there; she didn't have the stamina for another fight. Spell exhaustion and Gemma's persistence had worn her out for the night.

Speaking of Gemma's persistence... Caitlyn sighed and cast a look over her shoulder. Might as well get this part over with; she wasn't going to argue with her to leave yet again.

"Well? Coming?" she asked impatiently.

What? Just because she was going to let Gemma tag along didn't mean she had to be nice about it. Not one bit. She still wanted Gemma to sod off and go get eaten by a snake or fall in a ditch or something equally disastrous. But that wasn't happening today, so why prolong it? After dinner, maybe she could finally get to her room and have some much-needed peace and quiet. In fact, during dinner, she should be able to at least get away from Gemma; they were in separate houses.

Taking another look at Gemma's schedule, Caitlyn sighed. She had to accept some responsibility that Gemma's schedule was all but scrap now. "Maybe you can talk to the Headmaster afterward. He should know what to do, at least." She would have tried some sort of drying spell, but it looked like the ink had smudged and smeared on the parchment too much for that to be of any use. Besides, she didn't think she could cast much of anything in her current state, and Gemma didn't seem like the type to be particularly gifted with spellwork. In fact, she seemed to have come from a muggle home. Figured.

"I told you sitting was a bad idea. You should have listened to me. Have fun figuring out your schedule. Seeing as you don't need me, I think I'll head to dinner."

Rae watched Caitlyn pushed past her to leave and felt her heart sink; she couldn't think of something to say to keep her around. She didn't know what classes she needed help getting to, and she couldn't expect Caitlyn to remember her stupid schedule. And she was obviously hungry, and after exhausting herself, she had to eat something. Gemma couldn't, in good conscience, keep Cait away from food. Still, a part of her figured that she wouldn't ever get to talk to Caitlyn again. What would she do then? Her debt would go unpaid.

"Well? Coming?"

Rae's heart suddenly soared and she grinned like the idiot she knew Caitlyn thought her to be. Caitlyn was inviting her along.

Rae hurried her steps and caught up to Caitlyn, her schedule all but forgotten. She was going to end up getting lost on Monday anyways. She'd just have to follow her fellow classmates. They were bound to know where to go.

"Maybe you can talk to the Headmaster afterward. He should know what to do, at least."

Rae nodded. "Maybe!" she agreed, wanting to thread her arm through Caitlyn's like she'd seen girls do in movies, but she refrained because she knew how Caitlyn would likely take that, "Do you know how to get to the Great Hall from here?"
