She gestured back toward the castle not in any way looking for a hostage situation.
Lia could already feel the hot tear welling up in the corner of her eyes, begging for her to let them fall. Not that she would. Not here. Not now. She wasn't about to give any of them the satisfaction of seeing her cry.
Though what she had said, wasn't what she had meant to said, the words had been true. There was no taking it back. The response while it was a desired one, hadn't been expected. It was much welcomed and she was going to take the offer before someone changed their mind and told her she couldn't leave. There was noway she could allow that to happen.
Without wasting another second, the Ravenclaw cast a quick glance at her bestie her eyes sad but she knew he would understand. Whether or not he followed her was up to him. Silently slipping off the chair she had been sitting on, Lia made her way out of the circles of seats and headed back towards the castle.
