Tears threatened to fall as Elliot rambled on about family secrets and the like.
"But Elliot, we're friends! Or so I thought...." She mumbled, looking up at her friend sullenly.
"I thought they trusted me. I would have been there to help them in a split second!" She groaned, putting her hair back up into a more secure, more business-like bun. She could never think right with her hair down.. and it was getting so long!

Jez knew that Jayden was angry because she didn't understand the full extent of what had happened over the summer. Part of Jez wanted to keep her happily, if a little irritatedly, innocent, but the other just wanted to get it over with.
Jez started at the beginning. "My brother is kind of ... I don't know what you'd call him. I used to call him a freelance Auror, because that's the generalised job description. He was working for someone in Australia with his colleague Jaime, who as part of their cover story was his girlfriend. They disappeared a few weeks into the job, and Jaime's body was found in the outback. She'd been murdered via the Killing Curse." Jez took a deep breath before ploughing on. "The people Keegan was trying to stop had found out about him and Jaime, and used the Imperius Curse on him, making him kill her. He managed to escape them, but was on the run from the Australian Aurors and Muggle police as well. He didn't know that they'd sent their assassination group, Team Wolf, over here to track down his family. They blackmailed me into persuading Keegan to come back to England. They said they would kill my little brother. When Keegan came back they held him hostage too. They slowly killed off my parents, three of my brothers and one sister, including ..." Jez drew her knees into her chest, finally letting her tears spill over. "Including my little brother," she said quietly. "Than was only ten, he didn't deserve to die like that." She pressed her face into her knees, thinking about everything that had happened since; the horcrux, clinically dying, being attacked by Jared, Nate getting hurt ... Jez's life seemed to be full of negatives.
"I think we are all making this a bit more dramatic than it should be!" Jayden cried, her eyes flashing with fury and hurt.
"We're only twelve, Jez! We shouldn't be in this much trouble!" She whined, biting her lip nervously as she looked over at her friends and turned to look at Jordan.

"You're telling me you had no idea any of this was going on?" She hissed, her cheeks turning a light shade of pink.
"You weren't in on this at all?" She asked, her voice growing quiet.
"I just feel hurt, and so left out! I trusted you all!"
And then Cael showed up and came to the rescue...
Finally. Quote:

"Jay..." he laid a tentative hand on her shoulder, wary of making her more upset, "Are you alright?"
He gave a nod to Jordan. Maybe the other boy knew what was going on.
"No. I am not alright!" She cried, shrugging his hand off of her shoulder.
"Your... My.... Frien.... These people...." She pointed, glaring at each of them for a few seconds in turn.
"Have been hiding things from us... and putting each other in danger, and they didn't think to notify us or tell any adults... like the Headmaster. He should know." Jayden blurted out in a huff.
"I don't even know what to do right now. I thought we were all friends... now I'm not even sure what we are anymore with all these secrets!" She sobbed, looking up at Cael with tears in her eyes. Even though the world seemed to be caving in... Cael was there. Cael was calm.
