A New Corner, Whee....

Rachel then began to sob, and just let out in a sputter, even though she was probably really hard to understand, she didn't care right now. She just had to let it out.

"Guys, I'm no better than some of those pure-blood families! Like the Malfoys or the Blacks or something!" she sobbed.

When Kelsi made it to Ray's corner, she pressed her hands againt her knees and began breathing heavily.
"Wow, did you ever think about joining some relay team or something?" Kelsi questioned as she dropped next to her friend.
She rolled her knees up to her chest and held them tightly.
"What's wrong. Spill it. I don't care if it will offend me. Whatever you're taking against yourself is impossible, since you're technically the most innocent of us all. So, tell me, now. It's been killing you. I would let you be alone if you weren't suffering so much, but clearly it been a pain for you not to let out your feelings. So just let them out, already!"

Kelsi strung her arm around Rachel's shoulders.
"What's your problem with that? We don't care if you're pure-blood! Look at Olivia, look at... Gosh, I dunno! But, what's your problem with that?"

Libby sat down on the other side of Rachel. "Look, if you were like the Malfoys, Nicolas would've broken your nose," Libby said. She put her arm around Rachel's shoulders, too.

"No, you don't understand! You see...." and so Rachel, explained the whole thing about she was shocked to see that Nicolas was able to immobilized Draco, because somewhere inside of her told that people pure-bloods or half-bloods generally learned magic faster and all that.

"...That's why I've been so upset lately. Cause I don't want to be like some of those people. I'm better than that."

"Well, if you're ashamed of those thoughts, then it means that your mind is at work individually. Because, it's not TRULY you, it's just your thoughts spinning around, giving you that impression from all the rumours or what-sort. And, I sort of agree, we can seem a bit pathetic. But, you're not like them, even if you might have mild thoughts. I'm sure everybody has thoughts like that, and yours, compared to the Malfoys and whoelse, is just a droplet. Nothing. So, don't worry!"

Rachel was still feeling crazy, insane and all that. She didn't appear to be really listening. "No don't say that - I'm a horrible person! I'm not better than those stinkin' pure-blood families who think they're all that and all that crap. I really am a bad a person. Stop lying, Kelsi."

"It's probably just mood swings. Puberty, y'know?" Libby said. "I - I won't be of much help, really. I'm bad at giving advice, really. But, I think you're just having mood swings and hormones and stuff. It's a normal part of puberty, Rachel. Just relax. If you were as bad as the stereotypical pure-blood families, Nicolas would've broken your nose. And he didn't. And he won't."

"I know perfectly well about female puberty Libby! Sorry I snapped at you -but still! And ugh! I just need a hug right now." said Rachel, who was still quite shaken up.

Libby hugged Rachel. "I told you, I'm bad at giving advice. But I can listen."

Kelsi gripped Rachel's shoulders, and squeezed tightly.
"No, Rachel. Don't say that about yourself. Imagine; If you really were a bad person, would we be here next to you, begging you to believe we're your best friends, and that you're truly not a bad person?" Kelsi hugged Rachel.

Rachel shrugged, and pulled out a tissue from pretty much no where, and wiped her eyes, and blew her nose with it. With that, she threw it away. "I guess, thank you... you guys are the best,"

Kelsi grinned.
"And, trust me, I get bad thoughts about you pure-bloods too. I mean, nothing against YOU, but- like, when idiots in the hall go all MUDBLOOD HAHAHA, I just get all these nasty thoughts against the typical word, 'pure-blood'. Sometimes I just want to yell back extremely rude stuff against the whole blood thing. Who invented it? I mean, what the heck!?

All in all, please, Rachel. You might just have different thoughts about the individual word itself. 'muggle-born'. 'mud-blood'. Or, you're just shocked that your sweet little shota-sweetie would do such a thing."

Rachel started to sob a little again. "Man, I just want a hug from him now, and say sorry to him." she sniffed.

"Go find him. You're fourteen, you should get a little romance going by now. " Libby said.

"Not till a couple of more months though," but she put on a small smile. "I guess you're right... where do you think he is?" she asked.

"Probably still in the Great Hall."

"Thank you! You guys are the greatest friends ever! I dunno what I would do without you all," and with that, Rachel hugged them both, and she ran out of the hallway to the Great Hall.

Kelsi giggle-snorted.
"I feel special. And we're both fourteen. We need some romance."

"I know," Libby said, and gave Kelsi her bag. "You left this in the Great Hall."

"LET'S GO KISS SOME BOYS AND LOSE OUR VIRGINITY, LIBBAY!" Kelsi began pulling at Libby.

"Oandthanka"

"Guys," called Rachel running back into her corner "I can't-" but alas, she saw that they had ditched her. "Dang it..." she grumbled.

[[they're still there.]]

Libby's eyes widened. "WHAT THE F*CK?!" Libby swore loudly. "I'M NOT LOSING MY VIRGINITY AT AGE FOURTEEN! I DON'T EVEN HAVE A BOYFRIEND!"
