Felicity paced back and forth, her hands clasped behind her back. An internal battle had been raging inside her all morning, and Bray had obviously noticed. Maybe Ash had noticed. Ah well, who cared anymore.
Fay sighed and flopped down on one of the benches. Well, she'd just have to tell her, not like she could keep it hidden forever. Because, in dire need, Felicity would of course use her charm. Actually, if that happened, how would it affect the other members?
She stood back up and started to pace again. Well, maybe Girty would come out here on her own, and Fay wouldn't have to find her. She'd probably look like a maniac running down the corridors searching for the poor girl. Girty might die of a heart attack if Fay tries to find her like that.
"Oh please just let her stumble out here already before I implode."

“Who do you want to stumble out of where?”
Girty walked up behind Felicity whit a bemused smile on her face, she placed her hands on the back of the bench where the Ravenclaw sat and glanced around the courtyard trying to see if there was anyone obvious that Felicity might want them to fall over. However apart from the odd student dashing from side to the other they were quite alone.
Girty knew that all the Hufflepuff’s where in the common room, that was why she had left. The sound of everyone talking, the warmth of the fire and the smell of soot from exploding snap and roasting marshmallows had made her stomach turn. She need fresh air so thought to preserve her own sanity she would go to Dax’s hut and see if he needed a hand with anything (she was also craving some of his fairy cakes) but clearly she had not got very far.

Felicity squeaked and jumped as Girty's voice suddenly appeared behind her. She whirled around, wide eyed for a moment, but relaxed once she confirmed it was Girty. A grin flashed across Felicity's face. Whoever was the higher power must like her.
"You actually. Not so much stumble, as in fall over, but happen to stumble across me."
Alright, so Fay was starting to sound a little insane, but didn't she always? With a small shrug on her own behalf, she looked back over at Girty. "I actually had something I'd like to talk to you about." Her gaze flicked around the courtyard, no one else was there. "I think it might help." She looked back at Girty and silently hoped that the girl wouldn't freak out.

Girty was slightly taken aback when Felicity said that she had been waiting for her, she knew her mother always said ‘Speak of the devil and the devil will come’ but Girty never believed that sort of thing, it was just a very lucky coincidence. But it seemed like it was going to be a very lucky coincidence when Felicity said she had something she wanted to talk to her about something important and Girty guessed what it was about.
Walking around to the front of the bench Girty thought she would have a little joke before they started to talk about business and so purposely tripped herself up. As she fell to the ground Girty positioned herself perfectly and dropt into a forward role straight away and as soon as the world was the right way around she spun herself around and sat cross-legged on the floor in front of Felicity with a wide smile.
“Ok then. Let’s hear your idea.”

Felicity almost freaked when Girty fell. Almost. Just as the girl sat back in front of her she rolled her eyes and shook her head. Fay sighed and placed her hands behind her head. "Alright, just promise you won't freak." She sat down in front of Girty and started to tug on her sleeve.
"Well, I think I can help the er, well you know. Not just with my magic, but, um, something else." Fay looked up at Girty, then back down at her boots. She hoped Girt wouldn't faint or something. Felicity swore that Bray almost did when she told him.
"I'm half veela." She looked back up at Girty. "Mom's a veela and dad was a wizard. I can charm guys to do pretty much whatever I want. Except for Bray and Ash. Ash because well, he doesn't like girls. And Bray because he's fought against it and become kind of immune to it."
"I was thinking that we should have a training session or something with the members. Because I might need to use my charm if I'm in trouble or something, and I don't want to take the chance of catching some of the members. So, I think we should have them train or something to fight the veela charm." Felicity took a breath then bit down on her lip and looked at Girty again.

It would be a lie to say that Girty was not slightly worried when Fay mentioned that she might end up freaking out. That was never a good sign of how a conversation might lead to and the Ravenclaw was also on edge, Girty was half expecting to hear that she had handed in all the name of The Guild to van Haestregt, but luckily it was nothing that serious. Felicity was a Veela.
A frown spread across Girty’s face as she looked at the Ravenclaw as she ran over everything she had said in her head. It would explain her beauty and how she always turned heads in the corridor and one of her closest friends was gay, but Girty always though Bray was straight but then it would not be the first time she had been wrong. Girty suddenly became away she had been looking at the girl in silence for a while just frowning at her so she thought that she best answer and the frown was replaced with a grin.
“You’re a Veela….that is fantastic. We could use that special ability of you’re quite a lot…it would tie in with the plan….” She drifted off and started muttering to herself her mind whirling and thoughts racing across it at 100mph. “So you want people to train, what does this entail?”

Felicity started to feel anxious when Girty didn't respond, and just frowned at her. She bit down on her lip and waited for Girty to say, well, something. Fay released the breath she had been holding when Girty smiled at her again.
"Well, that's where I'm at a roadblock. I think I need to talk to Bray to see how he fought the charm, and then he could help. Pretty much I would just need all of the guy members to be in a room with just me and Bray. And, if you have plans on anyone else helping us, they might want to come too."
Fay blinked slightly as Girty mentioned some sort of plan. "Plan? Might I ask what that is?"

A training season would be need for the male members of The Guild, that could be arranged as Girty was sure some of the people would be happy just to be doing something seeing as Girty had been rather secretive since her meeting with Professor Everritt. However Girty did find it interesting how Felicity sad that Bradyn had managed to become immune, so maybe he was got gay like Girty had just thought, but this did not matter what did matter was getting everything sorted.
“Ok well I shall leave that up to you and Bray to arrange that then. Spread the word around and we have to just hope people will turn up. I will advice a few people to go however I do not think everyone who will be helping us will be er….able to come along.”
Girty had to think about how to say the last part, it would have been funny to see a group of rouges and convicts walk up the castle steps and walk freely around the castle without being attacked by every ministry official that was crawling around in the woodwork of the castle. But it was then Felicity asked about the plan, things had still to be finalised seeing as she had not heard back from the rouges in a while.
“There are basic ideas, but so far it is just us pushing van Haestregt to her limits. There are a few Professors who will give back the points when they get taken away so we only have to worry about her detentions.”

Felicity nodded and blew some hair out of her eyes. "I'll try to get a date and place set, my mum might be a big help with that one." She smirked, then looked back over to Girty. She caught on instantly as Girty mentioned 'the few others' that wouldn't be able to come. "Well, just at least warn them at least, so they can be prepared if the situation does arise."
Fay placed one of her elbows on her knee and put her chin on the palm of her hand. "Terrorizing? I can do that. Detention isn't all that bad anyway." She made a face. "But with that woman I might be forced to hurt her."

Girty nodded her head in agreement as Fay spoke, she was going to leave this in hers hands Girty had enough to think about and deal with. That is not to say she will not help, she will whisper the right words into the right ears and get the message spread, she may even pop along just to see what the lessons where like. Girty also was in agreement about warning the others, she would pass the word onto the rouges using their contact in Professor Everritt but she guessed that the most experienced of the rouges would have some experience in defending against a veelas charms.
“Well I am glad you are up for the terrorising.” Girty laughed as she saw the smile on the Ravenclaws face. “But think twice if you are going to hurt van Haestregt she might bend the school rules a bit.”
Girty winced at the thought of some possible punishments that she could give, that was a problem with Girty she would let her imagination run away with her on far to many occasions and end up losing track of what is going on or scare herself so much she back out in fear that a wild dragon would swoop down and eat her. Snapping out of her dream world Girty looked back at the Ravenclaw with a small smile.
“Well as long as you do not hurt any Huffepuff’s then you will be fine and can cause people as much trouble as you like.”

"Oh you know me Girty, I won't hurt her too severly." Felicity laughed. Of course she was joking, she wouldn't go around attacking Ministry officials randomly. Maybe Bray's sister, but that was it.
All right, so Fay needed a room, a day, and she needed to force Bray to come along. It wouldn't be too hard, hopefully. Her mum would just be all too eager to help. And for once, Fay was happy about that.
"So, once I get the details hammered down I'll tell you so you can pass it along all right? Sorry to put this on you, but I don't know everyone involved." Fay grinned innocently.

Girty laughed with Fay as she joked about not hurting van Haestregt, it would take a brave person to stand up to that woman. She had heard about the detentions and the punishments she gave out and although Girty wanted to fight for the cause getting stupid detentions and your name down in her little black notebook really did not seem to the be correct way forward….for now.
The whole prospect of The Guild actually doing something filled Girty with anticipation and excitement. She just wanted to get everything going and help the rouges and bring down the corrupt sections of the Ministry, but a group of ten students would not be able to do all that much, so instead they would have to be a small cog in the downfall.
“That is fine Fay I can pass along information, just be careful when you are getting the message to me and talking to Bray. You never know who might be listening or watching.”
Even the thought of it sent a shiver down her spine and she looked around nervously but she could see no one else in the courtyard, there were no silhouettes of fingers in the windows peering down upon them and there was nobody in the bushes. They were safe for now.
