"THAT SOUNDS FUN," said Pandora with intrigued eyes after the whole Horcrux-thing had been explained to her by Claudia and the others. "I want to help. Making a spell is quite the idea, Rosamund."

"Thank you," Rosamund replied curtly with a small little nod.

"Are you sure, though, Dora?" Regulus asked. "About helping us? Because even if it doesn't seem like it, it is quite dangerous after all. Or, at least it can be."

"Like I said," Pandora smiled. "Fun!"

Regulus chuckled slightly at her optimism as Claudia sat up straighter in her seat with worried eyes.

"I was thinking about something," the brunette girl said quietly.

"What?"

"It's just...the vision implied that some of us will meet unfortunate fates. That innocent blood will be spilled. And I just...I just think that everyone should truly decide for themselves wether they still want to do this or not."

Regulus frowned, "Do you want to stop?"

"No! No, absolutely not. I don't want to stop, not at all. But...I also don't want any of you to feel like you have to help. This is, after all, not just play and fun. Some of us might..."

"I think we've all thought about it," David assured. "If any of you want to get out on this, just tell someone, alright? No one's forcing anyone. That being said, nothing is certain, Claudia. Sometimes visions aren't what they seem."

"Yeah, I know," she mumbled. "It's just...some of us are so young. Maybe this isn't supposed to be our job. But then again it isn't supposed to be you older people's job either."

"Did you just call us old?!" John scoffed, turning to Cora with wide eyes. "She just called us old!"

"Older, John," Claudia chuckled. "Forget I ever said anything, I-"

"You're right," said Nicolas. "We are young. But sometimes young people get further than anyone else can. Not saying that makes this fair, but if all of us still feel like this is the right thing to do, let's not dwell on it too much. Let's just kill that arse."

Regulus chuckled, "He's right, Dia. Let's just kill that arse. And be careful in the process."

Nicolas smiled encouragingly at Claudia, and for just a moment there his eyes flickered to the boy with dark locks, staying there.

For just a moment.

"Okay," Claudia nodded. "Let's kill that arse."

"That's my girl," Regulus smiled, patting her on the knee as Nicolas finally took his eyes off of him.

"Okay, so how are we going to start?" Asked Pandora.

"What do you mean?"

"Well...what's the plan?"
