I drag my feet all the way to down to the kitchens yawning in my light blue teddy bear pajamas with matching slippers. "Why am I so awake, when I know I'm tired?" I sit down on a stool in the kitchen and ask for an apple. I lean against the wall with my apple in my hand as I take a bite.

I yawn from my little corner where I'm sipping hot cocoa.
"Because the world hates us..." I reply in a groggy voice.

I look over and see a girl who was as tired as I was. "Probably true..." I say with a faint smile. "I'm Shelby, but you can call me Shell or Shelly."

I nod. "Oh, yeah... you're the ravenclaw chick I invited to... the thing." I wave my hand in the air to explain what 'the thing' is. Then I cover a yawn. "I'm... A-a-andra," I say. Alexandra, Lexi-Andra.... And I sound drunk." I laugh, and take a sip of cocoa.

I laugh slightly. "So, who am I helping exactly?" I ask as I drag my stool over to where she was sitting.

"Say again?" I ask, taking another sip of cocoa. "It's too early to be cryptic...."

"With your invitation thing...you said something about helping someone find their mind..." I say to her.

"Ooohhh..." I nod and roll my eyes. "It's too early... um... well, you, me, Peter Pettigrew, and Chance... what's-his-name... are the sane ones... although Peter hasn't replied yet so I don't know if he's coming. And we'll be pairing off with Laken Maywood, Yumi... something... Rowan Hunt, and Rowan's brother, whatever his name was again. They're the crazy ones."

I nod. "Sorry, about asking. No matter how sleepy I am, I still ask questions. So, what year are you in?" I ask her.

I smile. "I'm a sixth-year. Gryffy, though I think you know that. I can't wait to be of age."

I smile. "Just don't do what I did..." I say laughing slightly. "I'm a 7th year Raven, with four kids..."

"Uh..." My mouth falls open, then I laugh but try to stifle it. "I... wow. You and Peter...." I shake my head. "You like being a mom?"

"At first I was terrified, because I was so young..." I say softly. "But once I had the first one, it came so easy..."

I smile. "How old are they?"

I think for a moment before I begin. "Okay, Jenny is the eldest, she's turning three in a few days. Next is Zoe, who's about 27 months, my youngest daughter Ashlyn who's 16 months, and Isaiah, my only son was born really early and is 5 months.

"Wow," I say again. "It's nice that they're so close... for them anyway. Probably. Do they stay here in the castle, or...?"

"They stay here..." I say to her. "I tried to raise them at home, but I never went home when I was married..." I trailed off.

"Ah..." I say cautiously, not sure if I just brought up something painful. I take a sip of cocoa and then stare into my cup.

"I'm pretty sure he's dead..." I say staring at my lap. "I haven't seen him for four months..." I say to her.

I look up at her, startled, then go back to staring at my cocoa. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's sorta bad though, I really like someone else already..."

I laugh before I can stop myself, then stare into my cocoa again in embarrassment. Probably not the best response.
"Oh, yeah, who?" I ask, shrugging.

I slightly smile at her reaction. "Rowan Hunt..." I say trying not to turn red. "It's horrible, I just became a widow a few months ago.."

I wince slightly. "Yeah, I guess...." Plus Rowan's a death eater murderer... who's also Andra's friend... isn't he, Andra?
I shake my head after that confusing thought. God, I need sleep....

"I know why you're wincing..." I say to her softly in response to her reaction. "I'm in the order, I should hate him, but I can't..."

I laugh. "Yeah, I know what that's like..." I shake my head. "I told him I believe him and I trust him... that he didn't have a choice... and I do..." I shrug. "But I just... can't help having all these nagging little thoughts that I should hate him."

I nod my head. "Yeah, but my feelings took over..." I shrug. "...and then I kissed him on the cheek..."

I raise my eyebrows. "Well," I say, blinking. "And how did he take that?"
((Lol... evil me. He hasn't answered yet so you don't know!))
