Patricia sat there, on her bed. Contemplating the letter. Should she open it? What if it was bad? "Well of course it is bad" She thought to her self.
"Well hear goes" She clossed her eyes and gently ripped the seal and then the letter flew up infront of her face. And there was a deep Horrifiing voice that made you cringe (her father)
"PATRICIA ANNEBELL DAWSINSON!!!! HOW COULD YOU? YOU LOST 120 POINTS FOR YOUR HOUSE. AND NOT JUST ANY HOUSE....SLYTHERIN TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU KNOW VERY WELL YOUNG LADY THAT IS A DISCRACE TO OUR FAMILY NAME. WE COME FRoM A LONG LINE OF SLYTHERINs. AND THIS....THIS IS PROPOSTERIS. I AM HURT THAT YOU EVEN WOULD THINK OF THAT.

YOU WILL NOT BE A VERY PRETTY LITTLE GIRL ANYLONGER TO SAY THE LEAST.
the letter closed up and Patricia stared out into space, stunned at what just happend, her eyes began to fill up with tears

Rachel walked towards Patrica's room, humming softly. She was a bit bored, and hoped her friend could entertain her for a while. Knocking lightly and entering before Patrica could respond, she smiled.
"Hey Trish, what's u...." the words died on her lips. Patrica was sitting on her bed in tears. Swearing softly, Rachel rushed over to her.
"Trish, what's wrong?" She asked, before spotting the howler.
"Oh no. What was on it?" Rachel asked in trepidation, biting her lower lip. Pausing, she gave Patrica a hug. She hated seeing her friend like this.

Patricia didn't even Notice rachel come in untill she asked her what was wrong.. Patricia sniffled. "He- he -he is furious" she handed the letter to Rachel to read. "He said he would send for me to come home and never return If it happened again, or something like it. He said, That I am lucky to be hear, I would be in serious trouble if I was home." She put her head down wiping the tears away from her eyes. "He said that I will not be a very "Pretty girl" as he put it. When I return form this coming holiday" she said with a gulp. "I think he is taking it out on my mum and sister, and that is what i am worried about" She then sniffed a little more and turned to Rachel with her tears slowly dieing away but still very seen. "I should be there Rachel to protect her" She said as she cover her face with her hands.

Rachel watched Patrica, and felt like crying. This was not fair. It shouldn't be happening. She walked over to Patrica and sat down next to her, hugging her briefly.
"It will be OK," she said softly. Then, realising that there was no way she could know that, she looked at the door.
"How can you protect her from here?" She asked, trying to think of a solution.

Patricia looked up at Rachel. Whiping her tears "I can protect her, when she comes to hogwarts but that won't be for two or three more years. " She sniffled adn looked at the letter. "i could try and speek to Dumbldore....see what he has in mind"
she put the letter down on the bed. "if we are lucky she could come earlyier"
she then put her head down "but I doubt that will happen" She sighed

"Well you have to try," Rachel said, standing up and pacing around the room. She wrapped a piece of hair around her finger and bit her lip. They had to do something.
"Talk to Dumbledore. Tell him everything, and maybe he can do something," she said after a minute. Rachel was determined to make sure Patrica's little sister was OK, and when Rachel put her mind to something, she rarely didn't succeed.
"Let's do it, Trish," she said, looking at Patrica sternly.

Patricia looked at Rachel. She knew she had to do something for Sierra. She couldn't just let her stay with her so called Father.
Patricia looked down at her feet, then back up at Rachel. Her blonde hair covering most of her face. She lost her tears and was now very serious. She thought. She was being week by crying about.
What was that going to do, other than make people feel sorry for her. She wasn't going let that to happen. She wouldn't have it. She looked at Rachel very serious mind you.
"Were is Dumbldore?"

Rachel thought. She had no idea where Dumbledore would be, but she had to think. Sierra and Patrica were counting on her.
"Ummm...OK, I'm not really sure," she said sheepishly. Then she narrowed her eyes.
"Who would know? Maybe one of the prefects," she said slowly.

Patricia ran over to Rachel and put her hands on her shoulders. "Can you help me find one?" She asked tense. She really needed to find Dumbldore..and fast

Rachel felt Patrica's hands on her shoulders, and she turned to face her.
"Yes, of course," she said briskly. Rachel knew they had to act quickly, and Rachel was determined. Everything was going to be OK.

Patrica sat down by Rachel. A worried expression ran across her face. "Rachel......what do we do?....I doubt we can't do anything. I have spoken to Dumbldore before. He said he can't do anything at all.....So why should I ask again?"
She looked at Rachel then put her head down as her blonde hair fell in her face.

Rachel didn't know what to do. She was at a complete loss.
"I don't know," she said sadly. There had to be something that could be done, it was up to them to decide. Rachel paced around the room, trying to think.
"Please, please, think of a solution," she muttered.

Patricia Stared at Rachel as she paced. Patricia new there was nothing they could do. She knew Rachel really cared, and wanted to help.
"Rache" She said. and stood up and walked over to her. "It is OK. There is nothing we can do for her. I even asked Dumbldore. He said that there is nothing he can do, at least until she is old enough to come to Hogwarts." Patricia looked down, with worry "but if she gets in Gryffendor....than." Patricia looked away from Rachel as her eyes began to water. She walked over to the bed slowly and sat down.

"Well, let's just make sure she doesn't then," Rachel said finally. Then a thought struck her.
"Wait, even if she does get into Gryffendor, what can your dad do about it? She'll be here, not there," Rachel thought aloud.
"I mean, there's holidays, but surely he'll have settled down by then. But maybe I'm naive," she said, biting her lip. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know if there was anything she could do. Rachel sat down on the floor and closed her eyes.
"I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what happens," she said.

Patricia ran over to Rachel. "You don't get it Rache. If she is in Gryffendor. Witch she will be. He will disown her at elevan. And I will never get to see her again. She will be considered. A blood traiter along with my aunt who..." Patricia put her head down. "Who-" she stuttered "Is dead"
"She was in ravenclaw....Just think if She was in Gryffendor"She cryed out

Rachel bit her lip. She was more naive than she had thought. This situation was serious.
"Well, then we'll just have to make sure she doesn't get into Gryffendor," Rachel said. She didn't know how, but there must be a way.

Patricia bit her lip "I don't think that is Possible. She... well." Patrica than ran her fingers through her hair.
"She is against the whole thing with" She gulped "You-Know-Who." She whispered "And well if my father finds out about that well. She is as good as a muggle"

Rachel looked at Patrica in concern and sympathy.
"I'm really, really sorry," she said, staring at the ground. What could she say? Nothing she could do would make this better. And that was the most humbling thing she had ever experienced.
"I don't know what to say or do, Patrica," she said honestly, running her own hand through her hair.

Patricia face dropped. She turned.
"Well best not to worry until it happens."
She then layed down on her bed.
"She isn't evan coming to Hogwarts for, at least two more years" She said a with a sort of not so happy chuckle.
"Well I better Go Rachel..." She stood up and walked to the door.
"Don't want to be late for detention.....and lose more points" She sighed and walked out of the common room.

Rachel smiled. Patrica was right - there was no use worrying about something until it happened.
"Yeah, I'd better go too. Have fun in detention," she smirked, before collecting her things and standing.
"See ya, Trish," she called before turning and watching out of the Common Room herself.
