Time Would Tell - Elizabeth, et al/Gail

The start of this RP can be found here.

Gail accepted the comforting hold Elizabeth offered as they left their common room and made their way back out into the castle.  Her own arm wrapped naturally to rest around her friend’s lower back.  “I’ll look forward to every letter,” the younger witch promised as they walked. “And reply as soon as I can find time.”  In truth, she’d make time, even if her studies suffered a little for it.

“As for not saying anything…”  Gail hummed softly, trying to choose her words well.  “I promise not to be the one to start anything.  I’ll - “  Another pause.  “Try to keep my ears closed, I guess?  But if anyone starts anything directly with me… I don’t know if I can just ignore them.  But I’ll try, okay?  Don’t worry about me.”  Gail’s skills at defense were better now thanks to her friends, but she knew she’d barely started learning.  And any of the older kids could best her easily if they decided they wanted to.

Why couldn’t this blasted war just be over already?!  And why did there seem to be so many in her own House who couldn’t see the wrongness of what was happening?  Gail kept those comments and worries to herself.  She’d likely spill them all out to Aaron in her next letter.  Anything to get the trouble off her chest for a bit.  But now wasn’t the time.  She needed to support her friend.  That was the most important thing.  

That declaration of loyalty got a little smile out of Elizabeth. “I’m sure you’ll be fine,” she said softly. “I wouldnae ask you no’ tae fight back if someone else started it. Actually, I’d tell ye tae jinx their nose off.”

The playfulness helped, a tiny bit. She gave Gail a gentle squeeze as they went up the stairs, grateful for her friend even if she felt a bit guilty for putting all this on a second-year’s shoulders.

Professor McGonagall was waiting in Slughorn’s office to take her home. The last thing Elizabeth said before she left was, “I’ll be back soon as... everythin’ gets sorted out.”

It was three weeks later when she arrived back at Hogwarts; three long weeks where the details of the awful event had spread throughout the school like wildfire, with most people raging about it - who would be sick enough to target a trainee Auror? - and a few laughing at the idiot who’d deserved it for going against the Dark Lord.

When Elizabeth Argyle reentered the Great Hall, however, nobody seemed inclined to start anything either way. The warmth and playfulness was gone, replaced with a gaze of icy steel and a certain rigid set to her shoulders that suggested anyone who bothered her would be needing the hospital wing in short order.

She did give the few people she trusted a brief smile, however - Gail among them.

“N-no, m’a fifth year,” so he hasn’t even had any practice trying. All he’s had is side-along. Which has never been very fun and, if he’s entirely honest, he’s been happy to avoid whenever given the chance. Not obviously, his gran would be more insistent on doing it if so, but just enough that it’s not the most common travel method he knows. 

Ever so grateful that he’s being held onto, Neville manages to not trip and make a further fool of himself. For once. Determined to do better, to be better like he’d wanted to, he keeps his wand raised and himself alert to their surroundings. “I don’t- I don’t know where’s safe.”

Jason blew out a breath. This seemed like a situation where bringing a relative unknown to an Order safehouse would be justified... but at the same time, it would get him torn a new one.

“I’ll take you back to where I’m livin’ right now,” he said finally. “It’s safe enough, an’ we can get in touch wi’ Dumbledore an’ your mum an’ dad from there tomorrow. Trust me, aye? I’ll keep you safe.” He moved them further down the alley away from the fight as they talked. “Hold on tight, I’ll have tae take you side-along.”
