They Might Call Me Crazy, For Saying I'd Fight Until There Is No More

Gryffindor Tower.

The place where all the Gryffindors came to hang out and be together. The place where only they could go. It should be a safe haven for those of them who wanted to get away from the students in the other houses. Not only that, but it should be a place where they all felt safe no matter what. So then.. Why did she not feel like it was? Maybe because last year(?) the Gryffindors were left without a place to go because their tower was destroyed in a battle. Her image of the tower being the only safe place for Gryffindors came crumbling down along with the tower as she looked at the remains afterwards.

Now it seemed fine. But the thought that it could come down again scared her. Mostly because she knew it could. That's why she sat on the couch in the common room, her legs curled up against her chest as she stared at the fire before her. Her work had been finished the day before and she had nothing else to do but sit there and watch as the other students came in and out, rarely paying attention to her, with their friend and equipment for whatever they were planning to do.

She watched a group of first years, two girls and a boy, came down from their dorms and discussed what they were going to do. The boy wanted to play Quidditch but the two girls wanted to explore the castle. Obviously the exploration would win because it was two against one. Once he agreed, he turned his head away from his friends and pouted. Until he noticed Hitame was looking at them, that is. She smiled at him, telling him that exploring wasn't so bad. He stopped pouting and returned her smile quickly before looking at the two girls. "Later we'll play Quidditch though, right?" He asked.

The girls nodded, almost reluctantly, and the three of them headed toward the door. The boy stopped for a brief moment, looking back at Hitame who had turned her attention to the book that was on the table in front of her before taking a deep breath and running out of the common room. The Gryffindor girl reached out to grab the book, glancing in the direction of the kids and smiled gently to herself as she rubbed the cover of the book with her thumb. "I wonder how long they'll stay like that." She asked herself, thinking of when she was a first year.

She'd met her older brother that year. But she hadn't known that and the two of them became best friends. She wondered what ever happened to that. Now she didn't even know where he was. She assumed he was in school, but she never saw him. He did a damn good job at hiding from her, considering they were in the same house. She tightened her grip on the book, murmering, "I miss you Xem.." Softly as her vision starte to blur with tears.

Cecilie was barely lately in Gryffindor tower. She was most of times near the lake or in library or she spent it with her boyfriedd now. She walked into the Gryffindor tower. She looked around and did smile for a second. It was good to be her for awhile now. Her smiled faded when ahe saw Hitame crying.

Cece walked to the girl and looked at her. "Hey Hit," she said with worried voice. "Is everything okay with you?" She asked there and was really worried that something bad have happen with Hit now.

She haven't really been lately good friend. Actually she has no idea how to be good friend. Mostly all her friends who she thought were it now ignore her or she does it. She knows that she should make soke new friends. Basically Hit was good friend, who she now have ignored.

"Is there any way I can cheer you up?" She asked now ith vuriousity. She didn't want to see her crying here now. She coukdn't stand people crying she alwats wants to cheer them up then. Mostly when it was her friend. She really would like to see everyone happy all the time but she knows it's not possible all the time.

She herself was happy right now most of times. She had first time ever a biyfriend. Who was two years younger than her basiaally but she didn't mind it at all. Love never askes ages. But now at the moment she was also worried about her friend Hitame. She wondered what had happened but shw couldn't tell at all.

She had always been the kind of person who hid her feelings from any and everyone. Hitame never liked anyone knowing how she felt, and there were two reason for it. One reason was that she was afraid to be hurt. She always thought someone would take advantage of her feelings to hurt her, just like when she was younger. It was easy to take advantage of a naive little girl.

The other reason was that she never liked anyone asking why she was feeling a certain way. She was bad at explaining herself and acting one way all the time kind of helped her avoid all the questions. But then again, so did hiding from most people. Of course, she wasn't like that when she was alone. When she was alone was the only time she could let all her emotions out.

But it wasn't a good idea to when she was in the common room. Especially when someone walks in on you. Hitame jumped slightly when she heard someone talk to her. She blinked the tears away and looked at who had spoken to her. "Oh, hi CeCe.." she said softly, wiping the remaining tears on her face away. "I'm fine.. Don't worry. I was just thinking about my brother." she explained.

The Gryffindor smiled when the other girl asked if there was any way she could cheer her up, but she shook her head. "Don't worry, it's nothing. You don't have to do anything." she smiled sadly, her face still a little wet from where the tears had fallen.

Leave it to Xem to be the one to make me cry in front of someone. And without him being here too. She nearly laughed at her thoughts. Her brother was always the cause of her ever-changing emotions.

Cecilie didn't cry usually do around people. Actually she usually didn't show very much emotions too, she could smile and so on but usually didn't mean that she did mean it really. So far for sure John have seen her cry and it was last year basically. Her family might have seen her cry maybe. She isn't sure about it.

Cecilie had no idea why she didn't show usually any emotions or feelings out. She just was like that. Now she slowly more and more shows them out. She still won't cry in front of people with no reason.

She looked at Hitame when she said that she was fine. She didn't really believe it but she didn't want to push her talk there too. She did understand that Hit doesn't wanna talk about it. So she didn't ask anything. "Oh okay," she said and did take a seat in one of these armchairs there now.

"I hope it's nothing for real," she said there now. "I don't like to see people crying," she added then there with a weak smile.

"So how you have been?" she asked there now. They haven't talked actually for awhile now and it was good to know how other did do. She hoped that Hit had been good or okay at least. She herself had much better life already.
