⑤ The First Dance - It's time for the first dance. Are you ready?

⑦ The Courtyard - Need a break from dancing and people? We get that. Go into the courtyard and get a breath of fresh air. Just be sure no teacher catches you making out with your date.
⑧ Wardrobe Malfunction - The absolute worst timing, a wardrobe malfunction! What do you do?
⑨ Chaperone - Are you a chaperone for the evening? How'd you get stuck with that gig? Better make sure the Marauders aren't creating havoc or spiking the punch!
⑩ Free Choice - You know what, you do your thing!

"Maybe you can trust those? Since they're from me? Anything you got while with Hagrid or others from the school you can't trust. Your trunk and robes, your books." She pauses a moment. "I am not sure about Hedwig either.'

She hates telling her that but it's definitely a chance.

Gathering her things, she pauses to look around, considering the options.

"Anything else we need, we can buy. I have some of the family jewelry and we can sell them if we need to." Not the earrings but other things they could sell to help them get through things. "We're... we're ready then?"

The fact was, Cassie was already thinking along the same lines as Draca was regarding what she could bring and what she couldn't. "Do you know of any spells that will reveal trackers," she asks, looking at her as she considers the one thing she couldn't and refused to leave behind. The invisibility cloak.

Hedwig, as much as she loathed to leave her behind, she had to... for now. A snowy owl that nearly everyone would know was hers? Wasn't subtle, especially when they needed to leave in a hurry.

"Okay," she nods and places her belongings in Draca's trunk. She nods. "We'll need to make sure we change out of these gowns as soon as we get to a suitable place. We won't blend in for very long if we don't."

[dracabelles]

It's hard to think about giving up so much of their things, but how could they know what was safe and what wasn't?

She sighs as she works on packing all the things they might need and ensuring they have it all.

"True, but we should keep them. I... there may come a time we'll need them. Places we might be able to get into with them. I've snuck into a lot of parties I shouldn't be at by dressing the right way."

While Cassie had grown used to having things of hers since coming to Hogwarts, it's times like this that she didn't have as much.

She nods in agreement with Draca's words. "I agree," she says and looks at her. "We'll keep them. Are we ready? We need to get ready for Professor McGonnagal's cue."

She reaches over and gives her hand a squeeze.

[dracabelles]

She took Cassie's hand, giving it a snug squeeze. "I'm ready. I... Before you came this was my dream. To get away from them. As they started talking more and more about this war, I knew I didn't want to stay. I'm glad I'm leaving with you."

Maybe she never would have. Not without Cassie. Now she'll leave because if she won't protect herself, at least she'll protect the woman she loves.

[minhalilia]

Cassie smiles when Draca gives her hand a snug squeeze back. Then she raises her eyes to the woman and raises her eyebrows in slight surprise. She knew they'd always played up the Slytherin Princess side of who they were and while they were undoubtedly that, she was glad that they both realized what side of this war they wanted to be on.

"I'm really glad we're leaving together," she says after a minute. She would do what she could to protect the woman she loved and... eventually, if they learned everything they needed to, then maybe others. Maybe she'd have to come back, eventually but not until they were ready.

She closes up Draca's trunk and with a wave of her wand and a murmured charm, she shrinks it down and hands it to her. "Let's go, I don't think we have much time."
