"thanks Cormac...you do to" she smiled slightly

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 5:50 am

Cormac hugged her again. "How have you been?"

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 5:52 am

"ummm...great" she gave him a small smile. she thought over everything that had happened since he'd left, knowing that was a lie.

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 5:54 am

Cormac smiled again. "Just like old times, why don't you tell me how you actually are."

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 5:55 am

"I'm actually doing better...now..." she looked down at the ground

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 5:57 am

"What WAS the matter then, I would like to know! Are you still with Marcus?"

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 5:58 am

she nodded "yes. yes I am. that-that's not the problem..." she shuffled her feet "I uhm...I well..." she bit her lip nervously "I was raped..." she said quietly

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:00 am

"Raped?" Cormac basically yelled! What the hell was with all his 2 friends being raped. "Who? Grindelwald?"

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:01 am

she shook her head. "no! no. um Barty...i don't know if you know him..."

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:03 am

"No I don't. Are you OK?"

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:04 am

she nodded, still staring at the ground, feeling stupid again. "I'm doing better. Marcus has been great...it's just really scary"

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:06 am

"That's good. It's good Marcus is helping.. I guess." Cormac smiled.

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:07 am

she nodded and looked up at him "it is. i don't want to lose him..." she trailed off, feeling awkward

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:10 am

"We all lose sometimes." Cormac looked directly in to Penny's eyes. "I guess."

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:11 am

Penny felt that familiar pang of hurt looking into Cormac's eyes "i'm sorry" she whispered

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:13 am

Cormac smiled again. "It's nothing Penny." Cormac thought for a second. "Hey, are you busy?"

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:14 am

she shook her head "No...why?"

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:15 am

Cormac picked up his Nimbus and placed it in front of him, "Hop on." Cormac got on his broom and waited on Penny.

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:16 am

Penny hesitated. why not? she walked forward slowly and straddled the broomstick "where're we going?"

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:18 am

"Just, up." Cormac flew up and up to reveal the sight of the lake that they had seen only what a month ago together. The beautiful sunset overlooking the lake.

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:19 am

Penny sighed. it really was a beautiful landscape. she bit her lip nervously as she snaked her arms around his waist to keep from falling

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:22 am

Cormac smiled as he felt Penny's arms around is waist. "Remember this Penny?"

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:23 am

she nodded "yes." she couldn't say much more

Cormac McLaggen June 16th 2010, 6:25 am

Cormac just sat there staring at the sunset. Penny's arms around his waist, head clear, he was truly happy.

**Penelope Rosier** June 16th 2010, 6:26 am

"Cormac...I...I should go..." she bit her bottom lip again
