It was true, Celina had been their far longer than her friend, but as for knowing what passages led where...well, that was an entirely different tale. Celina knew of them, but not anything really about them. She had never used them, but if they could get up the stairs, Celina doubted that they would need them. The Deva seemed centered around the first floor. If by chance they did actually get up the stairs, Celina figured they could just go wherever they would need in order to find a way out of the castle. Celina was horrified...this was already a horrendous idea.
"You're not about to change your mind, are you?" Celina asked, desperate of an answer that told her Felicity would soon come back to her senses. If she didn't agree to help her, she knew Felicity wouldn't stop there. Her friend was too damn persistent for her own good, and Celina couldn't bare the thought of Felicity getting herself killed because she went at something alone. Especially, since Celina wasn't sure if Felicity had her wand on her or not (not that that would help her much, anyhow.)
"And if we got upstairs," Celina wondered out loud. "What then?"

Shaking her head defiantly, she wasn't anywhere close to changing her mind about it. How could she dare to change her mind? There were so many things that needed to be done right at that moment, that she could hardly face the fact that it meant leaving the younger children behind, but no, she wasn't about to change about face and not go through with the idea. Felicity needed to leave, she needed to go somewhere, and while everyone else did as well, she just needed out.
"Once we're upstairs is there much question of what happens next?" she inquired back. "There are many brooms in the dormitories it wouldn't be hard to get ahold of at least one." This plan really was not of the topmost quality, and really, she didn't care. Felicity just wanted to leave and didn't care how horrible the plan sounded outloud, because to her mind it sounded something wonderful, it meant a chance of leaving and that's what she wanted. "It would be easier if we had a wand, well...if you had one, I think if I had one things wouldn't be all the grande, you know that. But that way we had one just in case something happened, such as they are allowed to use their wands but haven't not because of orders but rather because they just didn't feel the need to. But even without one, it wouldn't be hard to do this Celina."
Wiping a few spare tears from her eyes, she gave a pleading look to her best friend. "Will you do this with me?"

Celina periodically nodded her head as she listened to her friends outloud thinking of their grand, rash escape. She had gone mad, and Celina knew that by sitting there and listening she was just encouraging it, but by leaving she was encouraging Felicity to only do it and take on all the risks by herself. This was insane, but as it was just that, she knew her friend all too well. It had only been a few months since they had met, but Celina could tell that Felicity was seriously thinking about going through with what she was planning. Celina knew there was no way what that Felicity could do it alone, and with Celina's help there was only a slim chance...but then again....
Celina pulled out her wand revealing it to her friend, but not saying a word about it. "I know where Jax keeps her broom in the common room. Actually, I don't think the girl sleeps without....Old Brokback....Trustol.....Old Tutu.....well, whatever she calls it..." Celina trailed off, distracted in thought about what the young raven called her broom. Who gives a name to a broom? Out of all the years Celina saw her brother with a broom, she was sure that Alfonz had never named his. Was Jax that lonely? Poor thing....
Celina's thoughts trailed off with the words and she only came back to when she noticed Felicity's movement out of the corner of her eyes, for she had turned her head to think. Bustee? Was that the name of the broom? Celina turned toward Felicity and saw her wiping away tears of grief and suffering. Her pleading look was enough to kill Celina, and reluctantly she gave in without a word. Celina nodded and looked at the tiled floor of the bathroom.
"You said dinner? I'll be ready..." Celina whispered, knowing now more than ever that Alfonz had to be informed.

There was a small ray of hope in the plan after all, Celina had been hiding it all along. Felicity wasn't upset about it, rather, she was giddy with excitement; it meant there was a much better chance of getting out of there. Taking a moment to breathe, to let her stomach settle a little, neves beginning to get out of hand at the mere thought of escape, she tried to think things out a little more. Either of their dormitories would work, both she was sure had an abundance of brooms stored places.
"We can go into Ravenclaw, or Gryffindor, either or would work. You know how to get into your common room and I know the password for Gryffindor, I'm sure it hasn't been changed as of yet," especailly without someone to change it. It didn't matter to the blonde which way they went, as long as they went together and one didn't split from the other. "All we have to do is find a broom and go to the edge of grounds, it wouldn't be that difficult to complete, I'm sure."
Really, the pale look on her face wasn't entirely confident, though she was sure they could escape one way or another. After all, Celina had a wand, and she wasn't half-bad with one, so their chances had greatly improved.
"Yes, dinner. At dinner, you get up to make a run to the loo, and I'll follow a few moments later to do the same. They know I've been in here an awful lot, they have to have noticed. With my stomach acting the way it has been, it would be hard for them not to, right?" Things were still being calculated in her mind, and she knew if there wasn't magic involved, the whole process would've been so much easier. "And from there we'll make our escape, we just need to be faster than whoever follows."

Celina nodded still periodically but this time never made eye contact with her friend. Her confidence about this was slim to none and she could barely contain the overwhelming fear and doubt she had about it in her own head. She could only hope that Alfonz would be their key, and maybe he'd leave with them. With a Deva on their side actually running with them their chances would improve even more. Even that thought though didn't crack a smile on Celina's face.
"Alright then, loo and then we'll run. Got it..." she trailed off....it was obvious her heart wasn't in it fully. "Shall we go back to the great hall then?"

The words from her friend's mouth were disheartening, though the blonde hardly heard past the meaning of the words formed together. Each syllable was what she needed to hear, an agreement, a willingness to go into it, that was all she really needed. The plan was made, not a good one, but one none the less, the timing was set, all that was left to do was follow through with the plan.
Shaking her lank blonde locks in answer, she hugged her stomach again. For whatever reason, this time around was being a horrid pain, and she couldn't believe it. "No..." she trailed off, looking at the toilet. "I think it'll be best if I stay here for a while longer. My stomach doesn't really feel all that much better."
Cluching a little tighter, she knew the reason why she wasn't feeling so well. Everything just seemed to happen at once, and not barely eating, just made things so much worse for the nerves residing where the pain came from.
"You go ahead, I'll just be a little longer, not much though, I think." Felicity gave a wane smile to her friend, wishing she could give a genuine one, an encouraging one even.

Celina shook her head. She was afraid her legs would wobble to much out of anticipation for her to leave either, not to mention her friend was sick and needed someone. "No, I'll stay and keep you company..." Celina said, a small smile appearing on her face. Celina would have hugged Felicity at that time but didn't know if her stomach would have killed her more if she had done so, so she didn't.
Celina then decided to place her hand upon Felicity's and she squeezed gently. Everything would be alright. Celina knew it would be.
....she hoped it would be....

And there was the genuine smile, touching her lips as she looked at her friend. The words were kind, Celina didn't seem to have a very strong stomach, something Felicity had thought since the day in Care of Magical Creatures class with the maggots, and she wasn't sure if a strong stomach would be needed or not at that moment. But, with her friend's willingness to stay by her side, how could Felicity begin to argue? One reason why she knew she wouldn't have to ask Celina not to tell the plan to anyone, because she wouldn't.
It was nice to have someone she felt she could trust so much in the situation as it was, and really, Felicity knew she couldn't have asked for anyone better; not even Drew. The Ravengirl might've been a bit crazy, but at least she was a good friend.
"Everything's going to be fine, right Celina?" she asked quietly, something she'd been asking since night one of the disaster. Corey had answered as well as he could, and she knew from being around Drew how he'd kind of felt, but she'd hardly spent any time with her best friend, and she hoped the girl in the stall with her was holding up well enough.

Celina couldn't answer. She had no idea what and if ever anything would be alright for Hogwarts again. She had known about past incidents from books and archives that she had read from the library, but this was different and out of everything Celina didn't even know if she would fully recover from all she had learned in the past few days. Would everything be alright? "Sure," she said just as quietly if not even more.
As Celina sat on the floor she thought of all of the things that could go wrong with their plan. Shaw could find out and prevent them, or worse....kill them. Or even worse would be that off the handle Deva finding out and not even consulting Shaw before firing the killing curse at them. Yea, everything would be just fine. "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Celina asked one more time hoping that Felicity would snap out of it.

Was it a good idea? If Felicity wasn't in the state she was in, she might actually have told the other girl it was a horrid idea, something she could hardly believe Celina was willing to go along with merely to appease Felicity and so she wouldn't be alone on it. However, with the state she was in, it was the best idea in the world.
Looking up blankly at the Ravengirl, the blonde wasn't sure why she was asking. They'd agreed, hadn't they? And Celina was willing to go along, so it had to be a good idea, right? Celina was fantastically bright and she wouldn't do something that wasn't a good idea, would she? Of course not.
"Y--Yes, it's as good idea as any," Felicity answered, not sure. "I mean, what else is there to do?"

"We could get help! I don't know....talke to Raynor or something...." Celina trailed off and shook her head. "No...maybe not..." Celina didn't know what to do, so going along with it....but she could tell Felicity about Alfonz....He was there to protect her, maybe Felicity would understand...
She didn't. Alfonz told her not to. So, she wouldn't. "Should we at least get help?" she asked, not knowing what else to do.

Help was good. But, there was hardly much help where they were. The professors had already proven what would happen to them for standing up, and Krissy was running around throwing potatoes, but no one else seemed to really be doing a whole lot. And while Hiro was still there, and he could finish executing the plan Drew and he had set up, she didn't like that plan and wasn't about to ask him to carry on with it.
And talking to Raynor was out of the question. Felicity was not in the mood to talk to the woman, for many reasons, the main one being the subject of Drew. However, before Felicity could even begin to form a sentence that could be coherent, Celina was already disagreeing with herself over that choice.
"Help is always good," Felicity agreed, but only if it didn't involve Raynor at the moment. "But there really isn't any we could get from here. I mean, I'm sure Drew and them have already gone for help now that they're out of here, so where would that leave to turn for help?"

"That's what I said, Felicity!" Celina argued persistantly. "That Drew was taking care of us....well, I don't mean us per say, but the school. Ya know? He wouldn't leave just like that...." Celina was almost positive that she had argued before that they didn't have to do anything because Drew was sure to have a plan of somesort. Even if Celina wasn't too fond of the hero types, that didn't mean they didn't exist and they sometimes didn't really save people.
But she sighed and shrugged...."Nevermind...." she said.

Drew was hardly taking care of them by being told to leave by Raynor, and he wasn't taking care of them by getting help, but that wasn't really what she'd asked her friend either. While she loved the girl dearly, even if at times she was quite jealous of her, she hadn't answered her question. And Drew taking care of them was nice to think about, but in reality, Felicity could take care of herself, she wasn't dependent on him to do that.
"We're still doing it, right?" she asked in confirmation. While it'd only been a minute before that the Ravengirl had agreed, it didn't mean she wasn't about to change winds and turn around. If they were going to do it, it meant they had to go through with it. And whether Celina was with her or not, Felicity couldn't stand to be there hardly any longer, the only reason why she was willing to wait for dinner the next day.

Celina reluctantly nodded seeing in her friend's eyes the determination and the stubbornness of a born Gryffindor. Celina didn't want to. She had faith that Drew was doing all in his power with the others that had left with him to get them free and out of there. Celina didn't expect anything less from him actually. As much as she hated the guys who had to be heroes, she lingered in the thought of how safe she actually was just staying put. Between Alfonz and Drew, Celina was probably the safest person there....she only wished she had apologized to Drew before he left for kicking him...Celina sighed out loud. She knew though that she may have slipped her brother's name...
Not that that mattered much anymore....thanks to Brady.
"Yes, we're still doing it....I'm sorry, I just am....I'm scared Felicity...." Celina looked at her friend, concern flooded her expression as if she were about to cry but she was holding it in.
