Aye.. Gonna have a problem
Estelle didn't understand what was happening to Corvus. She had drawn her wand and assumed a defensive stance in front of her, yet she saw nothing to justify these actions. Was Corvus seeing things she couldn't? She tried to look more closely, but nothing in the landscape seemed dangerous. Estelle placed her hand on Corvus's arm. ”What's going on? Why are you acting like this?"She truly didn't understand and was starting to get seriously scared. Corvus didn't seem to be there anymore, as if she couldn't see her. Estelle became completely alarmed when she saw that Corvus wasn't reacting. She tried to pull her arm, but nothing happened. She wanted to call someone for help but was too afraid to leave the Ravenclaw alone.
Estelle was starting to get very scared; why hadn't she paid more attention in class? She should at least have informed herself about the surrounding dangers! She sat down on the ground, watching her friend, terrified by what was happening to her.
Corvus, please… come back..” The minutes ticked by, and Corvus seemed to have truly left her body. Estelle almost prayed that nothing bad would happen to her; she'd feel so guilty otherwise! They should have gone home earlier... At this hour, no one passed by anymore!

I didn't notice Estelle neither did I pay attention to what she was saying. I saw the dark wizards. They surrounded us. As they came closer, they took off their masks. They had the faces of my old caretakers. Them, who hurt me when I was little... One of them cast a curse on me. One I have read about. The cruciatus curse... I fell to the ground in agony... I couldn't even scream from the pain.
Soon I opened my eyes. I saw Estelles worried face. I soon realised that I had been hallucinating. I slowly sat up. My body was still shaking. I didn't know what happened. If it was due to me not sleeping at night because of my nightmares of my trauma. Perhaps both. Or perhaps this was some kind of twisted magic. Something like this never happened before. I have hallucinated before when I didn't sleep. But not this severe.
"W-What happened?"
I questioned quietly. My voice was shaky, scared. There was still pain in my body. Why did it hurt when I only hallucinated? Or was this no hallucination at all? I tried not to panic, but it was so hard. I tried not to scare Estelle, but it was hard, when I was scared myself.

Estelle rushed to Corvus when she saw that she had regained consciousness. “Are you alright? I think you had a hallucination… In any case, you’d better go to the infirmary!”
She gathered her drawings, quickly stuffed them into her bag, then took Corvus’s book in one hand and her friend’s arm in the other. “Can you walk? It was so violent! I’m not sure it was a hallucination; you really didn’t seem to be there! And you’re shaking!” Estelle pulled her behind her to the castle; she was scared and didn’t want to stay at the scene of the incident for fear that something else might happen to Corvus.
The castle grounds were truly empty this time, and it was almost dark. They were sure to get a scolding from the nurse... or maybe not? All that mattered to Estelle was getting her friend to safety. She wondered then if this was the first time this had happened in Corvus. Perhaps her scars were related? Some seemed to have deepened... or was it just the twilight glow that accentuated their outlines?
As she led her towards the castle, Estelle couldn't help but look at her friend with curiosity and concern. Corvus didn't seem to have recovered from her hallucination (which Estelle was beginning to strongly suspect was a spell her friend was under), so she didn't want to overwhelm her with questions.

"N-No... I-I do not want to go to the infirmary!"
I protested. My body was shaking.
"W-We cannot go!"
I said quietly in a shaky voice. I was panicking.
"W-What just happened? W-Why did it happen?"
I questioned in a desperate and scared voice. My face was even paler than usually. I looked almost like I was dead if it wasn't for my ragged breathing... Why did this happen? What caused this?
My mind was racing, I was scared to go to the infirmary. What if they found out something about me I didn't want to be found out? I didn't want them to label me as a 'freak' or as mentally disabled
I was scared what they would ask me and I knew some nurse would ask about my past.
"L-Let's rather go to my dorm."
I suggested, almost pleading. It was strange to see my usually calculating and serious eyes looking this scared.
I was clenching Estelle's hand, holding it as if it was a lifeline.
"Please don't leave me..."
I murmured quietly...
"I-I don't know what this was... I-I didn't want it to happen."
There was still an ache in my body. As if I really would have been hit with the cruciatus curse

Estelle stopped, hesitant. Despite her friend's fear of going to the infirmary, she didn't want anything to happen to her by not going. “Are you sure? You know the nurse is bound by medical confidentiality; she won't tell anyone. And besides, I'm not sure I'm allowed to go with you, Corvus... Students from other houses aren't supposed to be able to go to other houses..."
Estelle was really worried, her friend seemed to be suffering terribly, so she resolved to bring her at least to her tower and then try to entrust her to a Ravenclaw friend of Corvus (if she had one). She was also seriously considering calling her mother to ask her to give Corvus a potion (yes, she had a Muggle phone, allowed at school).
She smiled at Corvus, “Let’s go back to the castle and make a decision there. It would be silly to get detention when you’re sick just because we took too long leaving.” She gathered her belongings and took Corvus by the arm, leading her towards the castle while making sure she didn't fall (Corvus didn't seem to be in any condition to walk alone).
She tried to talk to her about her mother on the way there, saying, “If you want, we can call my mother on my phone and she’ll send an owl with a healing potion tomorrow?”

I considered her words.
"Who the hell cares what is allowed and what isn't?"
I murmured in a tired, shaky voice.
"You can come into my dorm. I allow it."
I murmured quietly...
"And if some professor says something, I'll take the blame."
I murmured. I leaned against the wall, sitting down. I was exhausted. Severely so. I took deep, shaky breaths.
"Please Estelle. Don't tell anyone about what happened."
I murmured
"I don't know what this was, but I'm going to find out..."
I murmured..
"I'm sorry for scaring you..."
I added quietly. I was silent for a few moments, taking her words in.
"I doubt a potion would help."
I said quietly. I closed my eyes. I just wanted to disappear. I still felt that pain in my body. It didn't want to ease up. I held back a small whimper.
"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be fine."
I said quietly and tried to stand up. I almost fell, but I managed to keep my balance by leaning against the wall. I started to walk towards my dorm, waiting for Estelle to follow me. Even though I was a Ravenclaw, I didn't care about rules.

@Corvus Blackwell@Estelle AllenAngel, unfortunately stumbled upon the two students. "A Slytherin? Ravenclaw?" she said quietly.
She ran up to them fast, like a blitz.
"You guys seemed winded... what happened back there?"
She looked at them scanning them.
She spoke again.
"I just saw a glimpse of two people who seemed sketchy."
She was correct though there was people who didn't fit right in. Probably Slytherins making a ruckus again, or dark wizards? Too late to question now.
She scoffed, then followed a frantic look.
"Do you need help?" she asked the girl worried.
The boy didn't try to nod, but with his demeanor hse either wanted to say yes or no.
Angel realized she didn't introduce herself but she looked over the girl. This one's probably a Slytherin but she doubted she had any part, they both looked winded and hurt.
She went closer and then put out a healing potion.
she sighed "I know potions won't really solve your problem but it's the least we can do to heal. From the looks of it, someone casted Cruciatus or rather known as Crucio, on you."
Her face tensed, this was a unforgiving spell, thinking there was some motive behind this. No student ever uses a type of spell like this! Even worse, it was already hard in this situation. Leave? Run and get to the infirmary with them? No no, it was to tight. She had to be back in her dorm before she got in trouble. But Angel wanted to help, still a wavering sense of hesitantance pulled her back. What can she do?
She made up her mind and decided to help, she wasn't sure what they thought though her mind was racing against time.
"I hope you guys know your lucky, very lucky. This was very reckless of you guys, especially for a Ravenclaw, and perhaps someone who is a Slytherin too." Angel said sharply. It was ironic she too was out of her dorm. But this is exactly why time is of the essence. Sure she'll probably be going down with them but she'd rather go to sleep knowing she did something rather then nothing.

"I-I'm fine!"
I murmured quietly, but I was still wincing.
"I-I don't know what the hell this was..."
I murmured. I looked at the newcomer.
"Do you know what this was?"
I questioned quietly
"I-I was hallucinating... Or was this something else?"
I questioned quietly.
"But it seemed like it was real..."
I murmured...
"W-What was this?"
My voice was desperate yet curious. I wanted to find out what this was, but I was also scared what we might find.
My hands were still shaking. My old scars hurt. They were more visible, as if they have been re-opened. However this once, I didn't pay attention to them. My mind was racing, thinking about everything that happened. Was I insane? Or was this something real? Was I cursed? The only thing I knew was, that I had to find out the reason why this happened. There must be an answer, I knew it.
I looked at the girl who just came.
"W-What are you doing here?"
I questioned quietly, I was too shocked because of everything what happened to get pissed at her remark how reckless it had been to come here alone. Even though in a normal state, I would have found something to counter her statement. Something witty or sarcastic.

Estelle squeezed Corvus's hand a little tighter, surprised by the presence of another student at this hour.Estelle looked at the young Slytherin who seemed to want to help them. Had she already met her in the common room? She wasn't sure, even though her face looked familiar.
When Corvus replied to the girl, Estelle was taken aback. Her friend didn't usually like to talk about herself and would have even put her in her place when she remarked on their presence here... Did Corvus know her?
She looked at Corvus, whose scars were now much more visible than they had been in the park, confirming her intuition that something had made them deeper. As the girl had said, someone had used the forbidden spell on the Ravenclaw....But why?
She smiled at her housemate, “Corvus had a hallucination, but nothing serious, according to her.” Not knowing the Slytherin, she preferred not to tell her too much. "You have a potion? Is that allowed?“ Estelle was about to decline the girl's offer, preferring not to attract more trouble by doing something that was technically forbidden, before remembering how much Corvus seemed to be suffering.
So she decided to accept her offer and smiled at the Slytherin.”Thank you for your help, um... What's your name?"

@Corvus BlackwellAngel looked at the both of them. This will get interesting.
She sighed.
"Well I know very well it isn't. Your friend here is disoriented so it's obvious that she'll be confused."
Angel said bluntly then followed on answering the girl's questions.
"First, no it's probably not allowed to bring positions and especially not being here at all, second my name is Angel Dayes, it's a pleasure to meet you." sarcastically said, she wished she met them under different circumstances.
"Your welcome by the way." Her words trailed.
Angel helped out carrying Corvus. She's glad at least she got to meet two girls her age.
She clears her throat.
It was awkward, when she first saw the girl it seemed like she remembered her, but she wasn't sure how or why.
she thought to herself "Does she know me?"
Angel didn't know, but it was about time the other Slytherin girl would ask more questions.
"Uh what's your name? I apologize I didn't ask earlier." she asked.
She wasn't expecting an answer but they were still walking and were closer to the dorm of Ravenclaw. Wondering how they were able to escape, especially knowing this will cost her trouble. Atleast she got a story. They sat down now, Angel waiting for any questions on her and why she was there.
