Oh no, Rachel thought as she watched Patrica. There was something seriously wrong. Rachel had seen the same expression Patrica had on herself a million times. The one that hid everything, the one that wanted to cry out for help but didn't know how. Rachel felt her tough exterior soften as she looked at Patrica in concern. Not knowing what else to do, she suddenly gave Patrica a hug. She then took a step back and looked toward the wall, her guard up again.
"Do you want to go somewhere else? Like maybe go back to the dorms or something? We've had a big night," she said, smiling weakly. She hated being like this - Rachel had made it her life to be hard, and all of a sudden she was softening up. What was wrong with her? But Patrica was her friend, and something was wrong. Just this once, Rachel vowed as she gave a genuine smile to Patrica. I'll be nice just this once.

Patricia nodded and headed to the dorm. Patricia ran to her bed and laid down staring at the picture of her family, and tears trickled down her faced. She moved her hair behind her ear. And more tears down her soft pale white skin, the tears slid all the way down and touched her lips that were soft and cracked. She hated for Rachel to see her like this. Sobbing showing weakness. She never cried, at least let people see her cry. She looked up at Rachel then back at the pictures and wiped her tears “ I hate him” she scowled holding the picture tense “YOU HEAR THAT, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU. SLIMY BASTERED!!!” screamed and through the picture as hard as she could to the ground. She then ran her hand through her curly hair and brought it down to her face covering her black eyes. ‘’ She then began to cry softly.

Rachel watched silently as Patrica broke down, shouting and crying. Forgetting who she had made herself become, and she sat down on Patrica's bed, rubbing Patrica's back and making soothing noises. Rachel wasn't an idiot - she knew exactly what was happening with Patrica. But she had been weak in trying to make herself forget it.
"Please, don't cry," she whispered, as a tear fell down her own cheek. Then, she decided that the reason both of them were like this was because they had denied themselves the right to cry. She stood up, her eyes blazing.
"Yell at him! Scream at him! Make him wish he had never been born!" She screamed, ignoring the strand of hair that had stuck to her cheek. She pulled off the ring her parents had gotten her for her birthday last year and glared at it.
"Tell him that he can't stop you! Tell him it is not through his stupidity and cruelty that you're like this, it's because of your stregnth that you're alive!" She flung the ring to the ground and stood on it. Straightening, she wiped away her tears.
"Tell him if he ever touches a hair on your head, he's going to have to deal with me," she said, her eyes narrowed. Rachel pulled out her wand and raised her chin.
"And you don't ever want to have to deal with me."

Patrice laughed at what Rachel did, and let out a soft laugh. She cheered her up. She has never seen her like this, “Make him pay” She laughed. And spun around. Rachel was right, he couldn’t boss her around, She was at Hogwarts. Nobody can touch her there. “Next time I see him, I’ll kick him wear it hurts. “She laughed. And made a punching motion. “No wthat will get his panties in a twist now won’t it.” She said with watery eyes and a laugh.
She sat down on the bed and wiped away her tears. And smiled… a real smile. “Thank you so much Rachel, but do me a favor don’t tell anyone one…. please” she asked with puppy eyes, very serious.

Rachel sat down on the floor and stared at Patrica. She was glad that she had been able to make her laugh, and maybe even get her to be able to not be afraid anymore.
"Patrica, I may be a lot of things. I'll have a cat fight with another Slytherin for kicks. I'll go into the Forbidden Forest with my friend and make my house lose 110 points," she smiled, but then became serious again.
"But I will never, ever tell anyone about your Dad. However, saying that, I also will never, ever stay silent if I see you go home and come back covered in bruises again. This has to stop. He can't do this to you anymore, or your sister, or your mum. I'm your friend, Patrica," she said. Rachel would hate to tell somebody about Patrica's personal life, but if her friend was being beaten, then she had a responsibility.

Patricia smiled “Thanks. And I know it does, I will, try to get him to stop, besides I won’t see him again until the year is out. And well. I just worry for my sister mainly is all. She is young, and well. The worst part is….she is not Slytherin, material. I worry for her” Patricia’s face went in a sad motion. “And that won’t go well over with him…You see my whole family has been in Slytherin, and if she gets in another house other than Slytherin…..well” Patricia put her head down at the thought. She couldn’t bare the thought. Of her sister being disowned by the whole family at 11. It would just be too bad for her and after all Sierra was Patricia’s life. Her father would certainly hurt her, badly maybe close…to killing her.

Rachel shook her head sadly. She felt raw, uncomfortable and exposed, but she was just glad that Patrica was feeling better. That was all that mattered. Looking up at Patrica with tears in her eyes, Rachel licked her lips. It was unfair. Life was unfair. Normally she would snarl, "get over it!" but she couldn't get over it. Rachel wouldn't get over it.
"Parents are so stupid! Houses are so stupid! Everyone in the whole world is STUPID!" She cried, hitting the ground. Standing up, Rachel wiped her eyes.
"We'll protect Sierra. I promise you, she'll be OK," Rachel vowed. Then, kneeling back down, she gave Patrica another hug.
"Are we the only non-stupid people in the world?" She asked, trying to get Patrica to smile. It had been a long night, and all she wanted was for her friend to be happy. If only for one night.

Patrice smiled at what Rachel had said, they would protect her, defiantly. “Oh but of course love; we are not stupid… we are perfect,” she said with a laugh, trying to liven the mood a little. It has been a long day
First they sneak out to the forbidden forest and then, they get caught, and lose 110 points for there team. “Look at us, we are sitting hear crying, when, we should be sleeping, after all we did lose 110 points for our house.” She laughed at the thought. “Just wait till tomorrow at breakfast. “We are so dead mind you”

"But of course, darling!" Rachel said, imitating her mother. Then, she rose.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight," She said smiling. Today had been one of the most scary, excilerating, awful, wonderful days, and the last thing she wanted to do was sleep. But if she was going to be subjected to angry Slytherins tomorrow, then she wanted some rest.
"I'll see you tomorrow, OK? Maybe for...the last time," she joked, before opening the door. Giving Patrica one more smile, she slipped out of the room and made her way to her dorm room.

Patricia smiled at what she said and produced a giggle of excitement. “Goodnight love” smiling at Rachel as she watched her leave. She then stood up and picked up the picture on the floor of her family and put it down on the table by her bed. She stood in front of the mirror and brushed her long blonde curly hair and walked back, and laid down on her bed….and dozed off into dreams
