They had sat down in the kitchen, on the stools around the island with cheese toasties and chips and ketchup.
"We're going to have to talk about the training session, and Margo, I want to know the details of your dream. Like, extreme details." Ginny widened her eyes the slightest bit, and Margo knew that Ginny figured out that she was hiding something.
"Okay." She kept calm.
Don't let them see that you're hiding something, Margo, the first aspect of war and tracking is always mental.
She pushed her father's voice out of her head, and looked back at Ginny, a challenge in her eyes.
"What dream?" Sapphire Rose dunked a chip in ketchup.
"I forgot how behind the curb you are." Margo said. "I had a dream where I got killed or something, wasn't that big of a deal." At the mention of the word 'killed' Sapphire Rose started choking on her chip and Ginny had to clap her on the back before she spoke again.
"Killed?! Forgive me, but, you don't strike me as easy to kill." Sapphire Rose said, as she pushed her plate with the French Fries on them away from her.
"I'm not going to forgive you for that, I'm going to thank you."
Don't let the image you give your enemies be one of weakness, make it one of strength.
Get out of my head! Margo thought. It had been years since her father had said those things to her. It had been in one of the dark training rooms in the dark mansion that she called 'MM.'
In the place that she fell in love. In the place where she went through terrible lessons so that she could do terrible things. In the place where she learned not to trust anybody.
"Margo, helllllloooo." Margo shook her head and the the voice of her father out of it.
"Yes?" Ginny looked at her worriedly, as did Harry and Sapphire Rose. "What? I'm still alive, aren't I?"
"We said your name three times before you finally answered. You looked lost, or really dazed. It was scary." Ginny said. "Are you alright?"
Even if you are bothered or physically hurt by your opponent, don't show it.
"Yeah, I'm okay. Did you have a question for me?"
"What did Charlie talk about in the dream? Or what did he say, at least." Ginny had developed the look of a worried parent.
"He just talked a lot of non-sense. About the last time I saw him and a lot of other crap. Nothing huge- why are you looking at me like that?" Ginny and Harry at least, had developed shocked looks, while Sapphire Rose looked confused, probably because no one had bothered to tell her who Charlie was.
"The last time he saw you?! When did he see you last?" This time, Margos shock did show on her face. She hadn't even realized she'd said that, divulged the information that would snap their trust in her to bits.
When in doubt, Margo, lie.
This time, she listened to the voice of her father, even though she hated it. "It's no big deal guys. He used to know me and my mum and Lindsey before he went all evil. I hate the bastard, hated him even then. He was always awful to my mum and Lindsey. But, he was really, really close to my dad, so mum had to go with it, and had to live with him being there."
Ginny looked at her skeptically. "Okay, Mar, if you say so." Ginny took another bite out of her sandwich, then wiped her hands off.
"You really shouldn't do that, Gin." Harry said, with a gross expression on his face.
