Something told her that Rafe would have absolutely no problems protecting himself if the need arose...It was something in his very nature, something that made him seem dangerous. No thoughts about that right now...
When Marilyn heard Kat and accompanying me, her face blanked immediately. To anyone who didn't know her, it would not have seemed odd. Slytherins will be Slytherins and all that...but internally, her brain was having one heck of a screaming match with her heart. Hadn't she encouraged dating other girls? The blonde had, yes...but she didn't think it would've been this soon. The Slytherin was with someone she truly cared about, yes. Surely Rafe could have the same. You're a hypocrite, blondie. A hypocrite and selfish. You want to have Carter now and keep Rafe all to yourself at the same time. Marilyn shook her head slightly. To an outsider, it would've seemed she was in simple disagreement with something that was said...not that she was mentally freaking out. Hadn't she convinced herself this was for the best? Oh, I see...you're being noble. If you love him so much, why are you doing this to yourself? Her head of blonde curls shook slightly again.
Romania...most dangerous... Her green eyes fluttered shut. She had to get out of here. She refused to listen to anymore of this. Rafe was going on some mission of self-discovery and would probably get himself killed in the process. What a reckless idiot? She wanted to scream at him, hurt him in some way, hurt him like he was hurting her...but she felt frozen on the spot. Her face remained utterly void.
If Marilyn could've found her voice...she would've told him to get himself killed...because if he returned after putting her through this mental anguish, she'd kill him herself.

But he wanted to be with Marilyn enough to ignore the whole situation. He played oblivious nice-guy so well. He took a deep breath hoping nobody would notice. "Be safe, mate." he said. He stole another glance at the now blank-faced Marilyn. Get a grip Carter. She chose you. She's just being a good friend. "I'd hate for anything bad to happen." he said looking at Rafe now. The question was did he really mean that? Carter literally shook that idea out of his head. Great. Now I look like a crazy person too. he thought to himself.
This could be the last time Marilyn and him ever speak or see one another and she was being completely mute.
Fine, he thought,
we'll see if she cares when she won't see me on the train coming back to Hogwarts for next term. Though technically if he didn't know he would never know her reaction, unless he came back as a ghost or something and haunted her!
Rafe couldn't stand it. He smiled at Carter,
"Thanks mate!" And with that Rafe huffed off to head to the train. And so silence was left between him and Mariyn, for what could be their last encounter.
