Trying to run from....Parents (Rose)

[Marissa Andrew]

Marissa had been asked home this weekend. More like she was told that she needed to come home for a general talking too. It was one less howler that she was was going to get which had made her happy. However she had been grounded all weekend. At least this was the last day of torment and she had escaped her parents with her things to make it to the Inn at Diagon Alley. She's be able to take the express back to school later tonight. She was pretty much glad for the weekend to be almost over. She missed her brother dearly who was at school.

It wasn't like she had meant to put the guy in st. mungo's but he had pissed her off and wouldn't leave her alone and well. She shook her head and walked into the bookstore. She could take Solice inside of one of the books or maybe in a wizarding game. She was fine with just about anything she touched as it were. Her pets were on her chest in her room at the Inn. She had gotten in really late last night so they were still sleeping. She sighed as she made her way to the back and grabbed a book and began to read not noticing anyone coming in.

Rose desided to leave school for a while. She noticed that someone was gone and that would have to Marissa. She was glad to be at the school yes and couldn't figure out how or why it didn't feel the same without her friend Marissa not being there. She didn't like how she had no one to talk to at the present moment. She took the Knight Bus to Diagon Alley and walked into the bookstore. For some reason something told her to go into the Book Shop and she couldn't figure out why.

When she walked into the Bookstore she looked at all the books they had on hand and grabbed one or two to buy them. She was quite happy to find the books she hadn't had yet. She continued walking in the store when she stopped on one aslie and saw Marissa inside the shop and was reading a book and smiled. "Hey Marissa how is it going? School isn't the same without you there!" she said with a small frown on her face.

Marissa looked up when she heard her name. It pulled her away from the world in which she had traveled to through her book. At first she wasn't sure who it was because her ears and mind had not caught up with each other. When they did she smiled knowing it was Rose Weasley. She and Rose had been friends since the day the met. Rose was like an older sister to Marissa and probably one of the only people that could stop her from flipping out when she was having irrational thoughts. Second only to her brother of course.

"Hey Rose." That was all she could say before the rest of it finally got into her head and processed. It took her time to process things sometimes specially when she wasn't in a good mood. "I was forced to go home and deal with lecture after lecture and grounding because of what happened in the halls. It wasn't my fault the stupid Slytherin was stupid." Marissa didn't hate the Slytherins but some of them were just stupid. "I went off cause he wouldnt leave me or my brother alone and ahhh. I hate guys." She gave a small huff and looked at rose. "Sorry."

Rose listened to Marissa tell her the story of her absentance at school. "That is so unfair." she said with a small frown. She knew how those Slytherins could be like. "I know how tough they are. Trust me I really do. They give me a hard time too because I'm a Weasley and we are known blood traiders." she said for a moment. "According to some we may as well be muggle borns." she said with a small frown. "Well here is where I get them at. I tell them I'm half Muggle and half Witch!" she said with a small smile on her face.

She then looked at Marissa for a moment. "They aren't worth it though really." she said with a small smile. "They are just trying to get us roused up and we don't need to feed into their silly little games Marissa." she said with a small smile on her face. "If we give them what they want they would be walking all over us the rest of our lives and I know I don't want that at all. But it is also good to stand up for yourself Mars." she said with a smile on her face. "For that I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself and your family." she said with a smile on her face.

[Marissa Andrew]

Marissa nodded her head. She knew why she was sent home though. It was for good reason but of course she did not pay attention to her parents lectures because they never really enforced anything. They weren't home most of the time anyways so it was just her brother and her most of the time. Rose made alot of sense though. Marissa knew how the Weasley family was veiwed and of course she didn't care but most pureblood families did. It was true that Rose as half muggle and half witch. It made sense to her anything and probably confused the hell out of alot of the Slytherins.

"Yes I know they aren't worth it. You remember Steve right. The guy i told you I caught watching me in a stalkerish way last year. Well he decided to take that a step further and kept cornering me and everything and when he wouldn't listen to my brother or me well things got bad. He called up his gang and well that's when all hell broke lose. I didn't mean to send in to Mungo's but he desevered it for tryin to hurt Jakub." Most everyone knew that Marissa was fiercely protective of her brother. They were not a pair you wanted mad at you. She stood up and gave Rose a smile. "Thanks. I just can't wait to go back to school is all."

[Rose Weasley]

Rose had to think for a moment about Steve and then remembered that she had told him back then about a guy who kept watching her stalkish like. She nodded her head and edge her on to talk more about it. She was a good listener especially when it came to Marissa. She knew how much protective of her brother Jakub but she has no idea how much Rose was protective of her. And she hadn't told her that she had a talk with Steve which didn't take her warning apparently but then again she knew he wasn't listening to her the whole time.

"Then why even fight them in the first place?" she asked her for a moment. "You could have been the one in St. Mungos Mars." she said for a moment. "I'm not trying to sound like I'm lecturing you Mars. It's just that I care about you." she said with a small smile. "You are my best friend the one who I can talk to and I think you know that by now!" she said with a smile on her face. "When do you get to come back to school anyways?" she asked her. She was curious because she wanted her back at Hogwarts as fast as she can get to come back.

[Marissa Andrew]

Marissa knew full well that with the information she has said she was going to get a slight friendly lecture about it. It wasn't like she had meant to fight and she hadn't told Rose everything because well she didn't want Rose to get hurt. She was sure Rose would back her up with anything and probably do a few things behind her back to keep her safe but Marissa was fiercely protective of those she valued and loved in her life. She couldn't help but keep a few things from them for their own protection at least in her mind.

"Steve cornered me in the Entrance hall and wouldn't leave me alone." She looked down as Rose went on about fighting and the fact that she could have ended up in Mungos with had she not done something probably would have happened. She looked down at her feet. A sign on of defeat and of the fact that she was not herself when she talked of these matters.

"Jakub came up while i was trying to get Steve to go away. He didn't leave and Jakub got into the mix of things and told him to leave. He wouldn't leave and so he tried to push Jakub away and that got me started. He tried to pin me against the wall and egged me on. You know how I am when I get angry and you know how I can't control it." She stopped for a minuet to glance at Rose for a second then back down at her feet and she shuffled them a bit. It showed her true age in a sense. Not the typical mature beyond her age Marissa.

"He called over his group when Jakub punched him. And two of them grabbed me from behind and you know how I feel about touch." She hated to be touched from behind it freaked her out. "The two that grabbed hold of me flew and Steve said he would make me see what happens when I disobey and was having other guys holding Jakub and I lost it. I wasn't going to let him hurt Jakub." Her voice shook a bit and then calmed down. She didn't look up because the tears were coming. Rose next to Jakub was the only person who ever saw her cry. She was trying hard to hold them back. "I get to come back tonight.". Thats all she could say before looking at Rose with tear filled eyes struggling to keep them at bay. She didn't like going off.
