The Lake

[Alexandria Silverton]

"You f**king b***h!" Megan screamed and felt blood rolling down into the water. By no means would she ever back down from little miss drunken Irish sl*t. She reached down into her pocket and pulled out her wand. She had to use her magic now, she just hoped she won't have to resort to getting herself sent to Azkaban for using a Unforgivable curse. Luckily for her, she knew non-verbals. "Incarcerous!" She thought and it connected to her wand, and she cast the spell, sending out ropes which tied Ceallach up.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

"Oh, stop your whinging. They're just little scratches. If you want, I can give you something you can really scream about. She sighed as the ropes left Megan's wand, letting them wrap around her. Then, they went white hot and disintergrated. "Dear, dear, Megan. What's wrong with you? You silly duffer. When will you get over it? It was ages ago. Seriously, love. Get over it! Move on. You were too young at the time to have actually loved the guy anyway. I'm sorry. There you go. A real apology, from Ceallach o Raghallaigh."

[Alexandria Silverton]

Megan wasn't sure whether to believe Ceallach's apology or not. She lowered her wand slowly, and put it back into her pocket. "Well, I'm sorry for the way I've acted over the years, I just was frustrated with everything and this happened which never helped my situation at all. There's plenty of things you don't know about me and this happens which doesn't make things any easier for me" She said, leaving her hands by her sides.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

Ceallach sighed. "Megan. I'm not going to lie to you, I enjoyed it at the time. And, I didn't even miss you as a friend to begin with. But then I realised I made a massive mistake, but we had already drifted so far beyond reconciliation. I would have apologised earlier, had I thought you would believe me. I don't expect you to forgive me. I wouldn't forgive me. But, you have to understand it's who I am. It's who I've always been. And, I can guarantee it's not going to change in the near future. And I'm sorry I scratched you. Do you want me to heal them for you?" she asked, her expression softening.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"At least you realized that you made a mistake, I believe that its never too late to apoligize, sure the damage is done and two simple words won't change what happened but, its not too late for us to try to be friends again, I mean of course, it'll be slightly more difficult than when we were younger but there's no point in continuing this stupid fight" Megan said truthfully. "I'll be fine, the scratches will heal eventually, you my dear are certainly aggressive" She said, with a smirk.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

"Exactly," she held out her hand, her claws now returned to being nails again. "Truce?" she asked. She laughed as Megan said she was aggressive. "It's my animagus form. A tiger doesn't know how to stay dormant!" she said, smiling.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Truce" Megan said with a soft smile, extending her own hand to shake Ceallach's. At least this whole thing was over, and they could be friends again, of course they could never be like they were before this whole thing started. "You're an animagus?" She asked curiously.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

"Yeah. Unregistered, of course. I'm still too young. White Tigeress. Wild, untamed, aggressive and dangerous. There are times when she takes me over. But, I can usually control her," Ceallach said, smiling happily, very please with herself.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Interesting, so how have you known that you're an animagus?" Megan asked, it was interesting to have a friend that was an animagus, especially since Ceallach's animagus was a white tigress, she had to remind herself that she never wanted to see that again.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

"Umm. I taught myself. Read a whole heap of books, did a whole heap of spells, and a heap of thinking. Now I can change between myself and a tiger as I wish. It's great," she said, smilind.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Wow, that's extremely impressive Ceallach" Megan said, blown away that Ceallach taught herself to become an animagus.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

"Why thank you. I do try," she joked. "So, Megan. What have you been up to?" she asked, setting herself on the grass, her legs stretched out in front of her, kicking her shoes off so they'd dry.

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Not much really, my parents are on the brink of getting a divorce all because of me, they were fighting over the holidays so I spent most of my time in my room practicing my spells, had a bit of fun practicing the non verbal version of the spell Incarcerous, used it to tie up one of my friends" Megan said, laughing as she remembered that day.

[Ceallach o Raghallaigh]

"Aww, honey, I'm sorry. Why because of you?" she asked. "If it's any consolation, my parents sent me here to learn some 'lessons'. They were embarrassed by me. Me! Not even my idiotic brother who acts like a two year old in public. Me. Jeez."

[Alexandria Silverton]

"Because apparently I've become such a mess that my parents are figuring who's fault it is that I've turned out like this and well.. I sort of told them that I'm a bisexual, so.. my dad doesn't agree with it and my mom really doesn't care." Megan said, biting her lip gently after she finished talking. "Oh wow.. Ceallach, that's just terrible, but hopefully you can make your parents proud for a change" She said.
