A needed distraction.
She frowned as she listened to what happened to her. Slytherin had always been the house where trouble most often resides, but bullying to such an extent should not be allowed.
She wondered whether it would be wise to tell one of the professors. She knew that that might not fix the issue and it could make things worse, she knew from experience.
She bit her lip as she looked at her. "Well, we are in the same house, so I will be able to walk with you most of the times, this will prevent them from cornering you alone. And I have received top marks in Charms thus far, so I will be able to defend you if the time comes. I am not sure retaliation will be such a good idea, it places a lot of stress on you, and revenge is never a good thing... On the other hand bullying should not be tolerated."
She rubbed her forehead thinking deeply of a solution to this situation, it was difficult, because she might be caught doing the wrong thing, and who knows how the school will punish her.
"What about our house prefect?" she wondered out loud. She was sure they would be able to help, it was their job to keep them out of trouble and to make sure they were on the right road.

Loneliness followed her around like an old friend ready to receive her.

A needed distraction.
Elizabeth pondered what Alyssa had just said. Elizabeth then said "We are not looking for revenge just a group to figure out these boys and their motives and help the students who are being bullied." Elizabeth thought about this and then said "I have been looking for members and I found some who wanted to help but then some girl came over and started making rules an declaring herself leader. I think I may have lost more members but I really need help gaining new ones. Anyone will do no matter what house, race, or gender they are allowed in the group. Just be wary of certain boys who would want to join, same for girls. Just make sure they aren't tied to any problematic events, especially if they were the harasser. I also think we should go to places with more kids, which would also help our cause. I think if we work at this it will be a safe haven for bullied kids." Elizabeth said all this with passion and determination but she was doubtful. "Will I be a good leader? Will people turn against me and start their own group?" Elizabeth pushed all these thoughts away as she said "Now let's go talk to that ravenclaw girl. Like they say, the more the merrier!"
