Once referred to as "The Mysterious Tapestry", this wall hanging first came to notice during Draconia's tenure as Headmistress. The passageway which existed behind the tapestry has long since been sealed but, the tapestry continues to be a site of great interest to those familiar with its story or appreciate such textile arts. It also makes a convenient meeting place as there is no other tapestry as grand as this in the castle.

Really? How come I don't know?" Okay.. that was a stupid question since Louisa doesn't really like quidditch.

And there came the tricky question; was she cheering? Well, was she watching would be better or did she know about a match. She cleared her throat and grinned, "To be honest with you, I wasn't at the Stands. I had a very important thing to do.." sleeping that was, ".. and well, I didn't know you were playing." That was honest. Vashti was a player in their team and Louisa never attended a match for her so.. "Who were you playing against?" To let the convo on and wipe any awkwardness...

..yes?

Wait a minute? WAIT a minute? Why was Louisa making Kita wait? Why was she being made to suffer like this?! Why, why, WHY?! She was just about to ask Louisa when she was stopped. By her hand. Louisa's hand, that was poised up in the air... doing what her adopted mother had been trying to do for years. "Yes, i do," she said, shuffling her feet, "Well, i don't know. I thought you knew... Sorry for not telling you earlier." What a great friend she was! The championships were coming up and she hadn't even told Louisa that she was part of the team! Stupid Lewis!

Kita watched Louisa closely. Had the girl been cheering during these matches? It wasn't official but she kind of expected her friends to be there during these matches. Actually, it didn't matter if they weren't. And it turns out Louisa hadn't been there. "Important thing? More important than me?" she asked, smirking slightly, "So tell me, Louisa, what was this important thing?" Nosy! "Ok, i'll forgive you for that," she said, smiling. Uh-oh! How do you explain to someone that you beat their very own house in the previous match? "Er... Ravenclaw," she said, sheepishly, "But they were good!" Scary but definitely good.

"Nah. It's all right. I guess it's because of us not hanging out with each other that much." She nodded agreeing with herself. Weird? Not for Louisa. The thirteen year old laughed at Kita's next comment. "Nope, my friend, I have nothing more important than your matches." She said sarcastically. She refrained from saying 'you' because that would be a lie- Louisa cared a lot about her friends. They were her second family.. sorta.

When Kita replied awkwardly and then defended the Ravenclaws, Louisa giggled. Once again! Who knew that Kita and Dal both made her giggle that much! "No need to sound awkward, I don't really like my team." Her face turned serious when she talked next, "I had a bad encounter with the captain so.." She didn't allow the bad memory to sweep away her good mood SO, ".. but Vashti my friend plays there too!" Which was an irrelevant sentence. Oh well, Kita got Louisa most of the time XD

And... she officially felt guilty. Great(!) Kita knew it was mostly her fault. After all, she was the older one so she was the one who had more homework. And to make things worse, she was on Quidditch team so all these practices she attended tended to take up even more of her time. "Sorry," she muttered, sheepishly, hoping Louisa wasn't going to become mad at her in any way. Kita started laughing at Louisa's sarcasm. "I'm glad. Nothing should come before my matches," she said, holding her head up high.

Kita smiled at Louisa, glad the girl had giggled. Seems like she has been having that kind of effect over a lot of people lately... weird. And then Kita's eyebrows shot up. Why? "You don't like your team?" How was that even possible?! But then something Caroline had said entered her head... the fact that she didn't like her own house team as well. But what was Louisa's reasoning behind this? She was just about to ask the her when the third year said something about the captain... "Bad encounter with the captain? And YOU?! Explain, Miss Carter," she said, folding her arms and smirking. This should be interesting, right? Vashti? Who was Vashti? "Well, you can cheer your friend on," she stated simply.

Louisa rolled her eyes when Kita demanded more about her encounter, "It's really nothing.." Except that he tried to kill her with his bat! Hmph! ".. I was mad at something and he.. crossed my way and we had an argument." She pouted at the memory, "I think he was about to report me for not watching the team's winning game." She scoffed. He could do it. If he was crazy.

"I can cheer for you two both." She corrected Kita smiling widely at her. "But never mind that now. Let's go, I have a surprise for you!" She grabbed her friend's wrist and led her to the corridor where he bouquet of flowers was hidden. Not stolen hopefully.

Kita's eyebrows shot up. For the second time that day, she was shocked! Louisa had an argument! She had not known Louisa to be like that! "Boy... isn't that something?" she said, more to herself, before turning to Louisa and stating, "I have never known you to be like that. I'm glad you got out of that alive." Like the boy would have actually killed her! "Is that it?" she asked, incredulously, "Seems a bit... odd." And this was coming from a weirdo!

Kita smiled back at Louisa in gratitude. It was hard to believe that they had only known each other for, what? 2 years? 3 years? Kita didn't know. But one thing she knew was that it seemed as though they had known each other for a very long time. Wait... surprise? "Oh, i love surprises!" she squealed, letting Louisa drag her to wherever it is she wanted to take her to. "Wait... it is a nice surprise right?" she asked. The girl simply didn't want to be scared. Again.

Odd? Well the captain was odd, wasn't he? It made complete sense. To Louisa. She didn't elaborate on the subject, though. Instead, she led her friend to the spot where the bouquet was lying invisibly. Once they were there, Louisa got her wand out and muttered, "Finite." and instantly a bouquet of white and red flowers appeared on the floor. Green grass stuffed between the colored flowers.

Louisa snatched it and awkwardly extended her hands to Kita. "I made this for you." She smiled uncertainly. Would Kita see it as a weird move? Would she like the flowers? They weren't that beautiful but Louisa knew that they meant A LOT.

In Divination.

SPOILER!!: the flowers and their meanings XD

"I was really touched by your story the other day. And I wanted you to know that you have friends who love you and care about you. You don't have to know your real parents either, the ones who brought you up are the ones who matter." Taking a paused, she went on, "Don't let that thing take away your cheerfulness." There, the speech she practiced finally was out! Phew.

There, the speech she practiced finally was out! Phew.

Kita was still confused. Louisa was leading her over to an unknown, strange spot and Kita didn't know whether to be shocked or excited. So confused it was. Ok, it wasn't like Louisa was taking her out of Hogwarts... then she would have been scared. Imagine if the new place didn't have any chocolate?

Shaking her head, Kita watched as Louisa pointed her wand at a particular spot on the ground and muttered a spell that made a bunch of flowers appear out of thin air. Or something like that. "Wow!" she breathed out, her eyes fixated on the white and red flowers which seemed to be growing green grass on it as she talked, "No wonder you're a Ravenclaw, that was brilliant!"

Wait... it was for her? Kita's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. Up until this moment, she had thought that the best gift anyone could give her was a box of chocolates and maybe some clothes. But now, one of the best gifts she's ever received would have to be these beautiful flowers. Which is why Kita took the flowers and continued to stare at them in awe. Oh right, manners!

But this was one of those rare moments when she didn't know what to say. The girl was actually speechless for once. She looked up at Louisa, a mixed expression crossing her face; one of sadness, happiness and love for her friend. The mixed feelings only grew and grew as she heard what Louisa had to say. The third year was so sweet, Kita was starting to wonder whether the Sorting Hat had considered placing her in the house of the loyal.

Then there was that prickling sensation coming from the corners of her eyes.

And then it was just too much for her. A tear rolled down the older girl's cheek. For the first time in her life, Kita didn't care whether she cried or not. She rushed over to Louisa and threw her arms around her, giving the girl her biggest, squeeziest hugs. Because honestly, the girl deserved it. "Thanks you so much," she whispered, letting go, "It's nice to know that i have people here for me. And if you need anything... anything at all... i'm here." A smile formed on her face.

Louisa got suffocated when Kita hugged her and she tried to hug back... if her arms weren't stiff under Kita's grip. However, she did pat her friend's back and grinned at her. When the tears came to view, she felt how much Kita liked the bouquet- it was a blast! Louisa never knew how to give emotional speeches or anything. She never did it before. Her first time was a success! That should be added to her Proud-acts list.

"I know." She replied. Kita was one of her loyal friends. She felt lucky to have them, and she wasn't sure whether Hogwarts would be this exciting and cozy without them so.. it was good to appreciate them every now and then.

"So.." She took a deep breath, "..where were you going?" Standing there in the corridor was very stupid after the 'mission' was done! "I can accompany you if you like."

Rafe had some letters he needed to write. He had a little bit of a lead from what Marilyn told him. He wanted a quiet place to get to work on them and then he came to the tapestry. There was such a history there, so fascinating and in a weird since relaxing. He sat there and began to write, but his mind kept drifting on thoughts of Marilyn. So, since he was already writing he decided to write one to her as well. But, he had to have a reason for her to come.

"Is there a House Elf nearby?" he called out. He then heard a loud crack and an Elf appeared.

"Isa here master," squeaked a elf.

"Could you prepare a picnic basket please?" Rafe asked politely. "Some sushi please, a couple of butterbeers...and perhaps some sandwhiches with A LOT of meat please?"

"Of course sir," he answered then bowed and disappeared.

Rafe wrote asking her to accompany him for lunch. He folded the paper and made it into a paper crane and enchanted it to fly and find Marilyn. As soon as the letter went soaring of in the air the house elf returned with a basket of food. Rafe thanked him and sent the elf on his way.

Marilyn received Rafe's beautifully constructed crane and came immediately. She knew it was a mistake, the blonde was still angry with him...but like moths to flames, she could not stay away.

For the occasion, she'd decided on a simple hunter green sundress and matching flats. Marilyn didn't want to seem like she was trying to look good for him, even thought that was exactly what was happening. Her hair remained down, the curls more pronounced. She knew Rafe liked it that way.

The Slytherin neared the tapestry and took a deep breath.

This was a bad idea...

MoviegoerKinz · 07-14-2011, 11:08 PM

Rafe didn't have to look up from his current letter to know Marilyn was coming. He could catch her sent the moment she got off the stair. Still working on his letter, he didn't let his eyes stray away, but spoke to Marilyn anyways, "So good of you to join me, lovely." He smiled as he finished his last sentence on the parchment. "I figured the offer could go well whether or not you came. I would either be in good company or with A LOT of good food," he laughed as he finished up. "It also shows you trust strangers or were excited about a blind date because I don't remember signing the letter I wrote," he smirked. He put his quill away and corked the ink well. He finally looked up at her. She looked absolutely stunning. He took out his wand and pointed it to the floor and and white and red checked blanket appeared. "Shall we?" he offered.

Marilyn smirked, amused that he thought himself so sneaky...

"Just so you know, you're the only person who's ever sent me letters by crane. It wasn't too hard to figure out...Besides, with the medieval way of speaking, who else could it have been?"

She looked Rafe over carefully. Her brain knew this was a bad idea. There was too much history between them for it to simply be lunch. Her heart, however, was focusing on how utterly attractive he looked...

Feeling stupid for ogling him, Marilyn sat on the blanket...it not escaping her notice that he'd been writing something when she'd walked up. "So..."

"I might not be the first, but I'm sure I'm the sexiest," Rafe smiled. He put everything away in his satchel and started to take out the food from the picnic basket.

"Sushi for milady," he said as he laid out a variety of different rolled sushi. He then added a little bowl beside it. "Um... the bowl is for the Oy! sauce, or whatever the bloody 'ell it's called." He definitely wasn't familiar with Asian cuisine. And it wasn't a particular favorite. He didn't really consider fish as meat. But, he knew it was Marilyn's favorite, so he wasn't about to complain.

He then continued to pull out sandwiches that were piled high with meat. "Looks like the elves still haven't lost their touch," he smiled. He then grabbed the butterbeers and opened one up for each of them. He held up his bottle to make a toast,"Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same... to Friendship and may it be everlasting," he said with a smirk.

Marilyn smirked. Was he the sexiest? Well, one thing was for sure. Everything about Rafe was...Sensual, masculine. Rafe had that certain something about him that no one else had. Sexy? Most definitely.

"Aww, Rafe. You remembered." She pulled a napkin, and began choosing her sushi. One had to always be careful when dealing in anything with shell fish in it. She put down the napkin and tucked her hair behind her ear. "I'd like to thank you for inviting me to lunch. It was...nice of you."

After he'd toasted to their "friendship", Marilyn began to feel a little awkward. Were they really going to be able to handle that? Could they respectively put there feelings aside and act as just friends?

Rafe felt funny. There was something different about Marilyn, like she'd change in some way. Maybe she was becoming more and more accepting of being single. His heart began to ache at the thought. He just wanted to be with her. He knew she was his soul mate and couldn't imagine loving anyone else. Rafe ran his fingers through his hair.

He knew he might have to start over and show her that he was the only one for him too, but he knew it was going to be difficult. "So, what's new with you?"

"Well, nothing really."

What was she suppose to say? I'm just an emotional mess that is attempting to rebuild her life...and I'm talking to Carter...A LOT...and I don't know what I'm doing...because I miss you.

Most definitely not.

"I've just been attending classes, trying to reacquaint myself with formal lessons and new Professors...I've been easing back into the social seen."

Marilyn sighed...Why did Rafe have to be so...Rafe-like.

"Really? Nothing?" Rafe raised an eyebrow. "I find it hard to believe that there's not something new and exciting in the life of Marilyn Elizabeth Force!" Once a Slytherin, always a Slytherin. He was sure he was spreading her ways or possibly taking someone under her wings. "Professors? Classes? That sounds...fun," he said as he rolled his eyes. He picked up his first sandwich and it was gone in a matter of seconds. "Have you talked to any of the old crew?" Rafe had just talked...well, explain a lot to Carter most recently...and then there was Elektra... and briefly with Lexi and Simon...other than that he'd hadn't really been out and about.

Marilyn bit her lip, wondering if he knew...and trying to decide whether she should mention Carter.

Honesty, Marilyn...

"Well, yes...I've been hanging out with Evelyn and Josh." She was biting her lips again. "I've been trying to make things right with Marie...You know, for what I did to her and Carter...Um, I actually...made up with Carter." Her heart was about to beat out of her chest and Marilyn knew he could hear. "I've been trying to make nice with the younger kids."

Yea, just keep talking. Maybe he won't notice that bit about your ex...

"There was this one boy I met...The kid is an incredible artist. His sketches of landscapes are beautiful..." Moving her hand up, she wiped it across her forehead. The girl was sweating.

Rafe caught that she was biting her lower lip, that always meant she was nervous and holding back. Then, he could hear her heartbeat. What was going on? Why would this conversation make her feel so secretive.

"Oh really? Monroe and Sinatra made up...and so history repeats itself," he said referring to the actual people in which he nicknamed them after. "Anyways, that's good that you and Carter have settled things. He's always been a good mate." Rafe didn't want to think about them rekindling. After all, they did date at one point in time. Now his heart began to race, but he just took in a few deep breaths to calm himself and not think of them alone... talking... kissing...

Rafe shut his eyes as if the vision was alive right in front of him. He just couldn't think that way. He opened his eyes, "Sorry, allergies, they've been driving me crazy since I've come back to Hogwarts the other day. Must be the dust of something." Rafe ate three more sandwiches before continuing on with the conversation. "That's cool that your helping out younger kids...I'm helping with a second year get over her flying issues... I mean being on a broomstick is part of being a wizard...something natural and something you shouldn't be afraid of right?" Rafe nervously laughed.

Why was he nervous? He had nothing to hide or feel nervous about. What was happening? Rafe felt like he needed to escape. Were the walls closing in?

Marilyn smirked at him, understand the sarcastic old Hollywood reference at once. "Ha ha, aren't you a funny one?" She bit into her sushi roll, moaning with pleasure at the taste. Oh how she'd missed that flavor...

Hearing about these allergies, she frowned. "I've never known you to have anything like that..." She lowered her voice even though they were very much alone. "Is everything okay, Rafe?" Yes, she had felt awkward...but now her companion was acting awkward. Thinking he'd picked up her vibe, she sighed. "Listen, I'm sorry if this is getting...strange..."

Was it strange? Well, yes. In the past when in each others presence, they couldn't keep there hands to themselves. Now, Rafe looked...morose...and Marilyn felt confused.

Allergies? Yeah, that was lame. But, at least she didn't inquire more about why he wasn't at Hogwarts. Or did he explain that already? He felt like he was losing track of everything. Must. Change. Subject.

"I'm fine...anyways..." he grabbed a fresh butterbeer and downed it. Much better. "So, I suppose adjusting has been a little difficult with you being away at all. Do you remember anything else about what happened?" Okay, that was a drastic change of subject, but it got his mind of the present and helped him focus on the future...which was finding her father and taking care of him, so Marilyn would never have to worry again.

Marilyn's eyes flashed, hurt and anger...and then sadness. "I'll have scars for the remainder of my life. There's a horrific gash on my side...and on my upper thigh, the skin is ruined." The blonde sighed, once more. "That's probably not what you meant, but...they're bothering me."

Taking another bit, she frowned..."I actually have a question for you...I was talking with Evie a few days ago and she brought something to my attention..."

Taking another bit, she frowned..."I actually have a question for you...I was talking with Evie a few days ago and she brought something to my attention..."

"Do you think I could take a look?" he asked out of genuine concern. Rafe had many, many scars...way too many to count. But, his was caused by magic and he knew there was nothing he could do about it. He grabbed his satchel and dug around in it for a few seconds, and pulled out a small container, "I got this from the nurse a couple of years back to help with my scars, but it didn't help. Since mine are from my brothers on a full moon, they're cursed and will never truly heal or go away...however, there might be a chance for you. I'm not an expert or anything, but it's worth a shot to try. I have more in my trunk in the dormitory too if you'd like to try. Nothing's working for me, but it might be different for you," he said sadly.

Whenever Rafe looked in the mirror, he only saw his scars and felt hideous. How could anyone love something so ugly and from something many considered the worse creature in the world? He took in a deep breath, "May I?" Rafe opened the container and offered to put it on if she'd let him.

While he waited for an answer, he was most curious as to what was brought to her attention. "You can ask me anything in the world?"

Marilyn was practically tearing at her bottom lip. Rafe wanted to see them? A surge of self consciousness washed over her...feeling embarrassed to have such things on her young body...

And then she thought about where the scars were actually located and blush fiercely. He'd get quite a view, that's for sure...Yet, he did have that interesting cream. Perhaps it'd work...

What he said clinch at her heart, though. He honestly thought he was unattractive because of his scars. "Rafe, listen to me...Don't be so hard on yourself. Please." Marilyn was allowed to be hard on herself...but her companion was not. He was a wonderful person not matter if he had scars on his face of not. There was still something so ardently attractive about him that drove the blonde Slytherin crazy...

Wait, he told me he moved on and I'm mentally defending him to myself?

No more shrinks, Marilyn. You're doing a smashing job on your own.

"Um..." Her blush never leaving her face, she slowing inched the hem of her sundress up to expose the outer part of her thigh. The skin was torn and lacerated, scarred over and disfigured.

What had Evie said...Concentrate, blondie...

"Why didn't you tell me you've been away from Hogwarts for just as long as I have been?"

"Why didn't you tell me you've been away from Hogwarts for just as long as I have been?"

"Oh come on...unfortunately for me no tears or magic like the story of Beauty and the Beast will change my appearance...or what I am for that matter," Rafe said solemnly. "I will always remain a Beast." He had certainly become more accepting of what and who he was, but it didn't change what the majority of the outside world thought of him. "Anyways...enough about me," he said with a fake smile, but with a more cheerful tone.

Rafe looked down at her thigh. Inside he was aching. How could someone do something so horrible? He tried to fight through the hurt on his face. "Well, then...that's not so bad." Rafe reached out and lightly traced his fingers over the scar. Rafe thought it looked like a mountain...and a famous one at that and thought brought a smile to his face. "My mom and I liked to travel a lot when I was little, " he said as he began to rub the cream on her thigh, "And I would always beg her to go to Greece and we would. I was always fascinated by the mythology and wanted to live among the gods," he grinned, "So every time I had to climb Mt.Olympus and I always figured they were never home. I never gave up and even though my mom told me it was a fool's errand, I just had to climb that mountain every time." Rafe finished, and then closed the container and handed it to her, "Finished. Keep trying it and if it doesn't work we'll find something else to try and cover it up. Either way, you're still as beautiful as the day I met you."

Rafe then leaned back and waited for her question. He just smiled. He figured it would only be a matter of time before someone brought to Marilyn's attention that he was gone as well. "So you ladies talk about me?" he laughed. "And to answer your question I was summoned, had a duty that sought immediate attention and required my services away from school." He wasn't lying. His duty was to find Marilyn, not out of obligation, but for love.
