She had been watching Dru at the time, but her attention had been on the young man. She could feel the rage pulsating through his veins and her mind flashed with feelings not unbeknown to her. Pulling herself up to her full height she looked down upon the seated pair. "I must tell you now that I do not want you taking the law into your own hands, so to speak." She began, her words directed at Chase more then Dru. "I can understand your pain, your.. Anger, but it will not help the situation. I can sense you are worried that it will happen again, but I will do my utmost to stop him. Now, I request you send Savannah to me. I shall need to speak to her about this and see what she has to say. However, I urge you both to stay away from Emilian. Do not even let him know that we have spoken of this." Frowning, Hells stepped back from her desk and made her way around to were Dru sat, placing a warm hand on Dru's shoulder. "Dru, you have done the best thing and we will make sure that this will be dealt with quickly and appropriately. I just don't want to be expelling more then the one student from this school."

Expulsion. Only if he got caught. It didn't at all occur to Chase that the Headmistress might know more than had been said in the room, so his thoughts continued unabated. As far as he was concerned, it would just be a matter of who got to the bastard first.

Dru didn't know what had brought on Hells' words, but she nodded and accepted them without questioning, though she did glance over at Chase. It was only then that she remembered their conversation in the hospital wing. Would Chase go after Emilian? She watched him as she stood, praying that he'd just let Hells handle it.

Stepping back, Hells watched over them as they stood. She knew this situation would be difficult, especially if Dru's friend was anything to go by. She could feel his anger and tension flowing out of his pores to fill up the room they stood up in. He was oblivious, of course, to her knowing and Hells did not need a crystal ball to see what he would be planning should he get the opportunity.
"You may go now." Hells started, sweeping her heavy lidded eyes over the pair of them. "But please send Savannah to me and.." She said as she made her way back behind her desk, "I hasten to remind you to stay away from him for now. I will deal with this, not those hellbent on revenge." Lifting her chin, she let her attention stay on Chase. "I am sure if you hear anything concerning Emilian you will come straight to me?" Hells asked him, lifting her chin defiantly as she spoke. "I can always be found if needed."

It had been a few days since the unfortunate encounter with Emilian in the forest. Almost a week, in fact. Betting on the fact that she was standing in the doorway now probably meant that Dru had come to the Headmistress after the forest. She had been told to come see the Headmistress a few days ago, but ignored the message. She sighed, finding it odd that she was even here to begin with. She didn't necassarily want to be here, but she was on her way to missing another class when she found herself in the very spot she is in now.
Vannah said the password and headed on up to see the headmistress.

Hells sat at her desk, her mind a flurry with information. She hadn't had the most easiest of weeks, but then she hadn't expected it to be. But this? Had she really expected the school to be in this much of a disarray? Anyone else would have turned around and left, but Hells was made of much sterner stuff. She wasn't going to allow this sort of behaviour to run amok in her school. Death eaters were one thing, but rapists? Even the word itself made Hells shudder.
Suddenly Hells lifted her head, the sound of the staircase alerting her to someone's presence. She knew who it would be. She had been waiting for a few days for this meeting and wasn't looking forward to hearing what the girl had to say, if she said anything at all. Pursing her lips together, she sat closer to her desk, her hands clasped and laying on the leather padding that covered most of the old oak desktop.

Vannah stopped abruptly when she came to the door. She placed her hand on the cool knob and took a deep breath. She exhaled as she turned the knob. For one reason or another, Vannah was nervous. She was pretty shook up about the incident and was finally starting to get over it. She had the misfortune of reliving the horrid memory over the past few days. For a moment when she was in the Forest, she thought it might happen again but it didn't.
Vannah stepped into the office and coolly walked over to the desk where she saw the Headmistress waiting. "I was told to come see you." Vannah said, keeping her tone the usual stiffness. She stood a few feet away from the desk as if she needed permission to come any further.

Hells watched Savannah as she walked into her room. She could sense the nervousness of the student and smiled encouragingly at her.
"Please sit down Savannah." Hells said softly, motioning towards the chair opposite her. She wasn't sure if Savannah was going to confirm what Druscilla had told her or deny it all. "Would you care for a drink?"

Vannah walked over to the chair slowly and sat down. She felt small in the chair and almost wish she could stand. She shook of the thought and focused on Hells' words. "No," Vannah said and then after a while she added. "Thanks," It was a word she was unfamiliar with but decided was appropiate. Vannah wanted to get this over with. She was still a bit unsure of what to say and in her mind wanted to run out, but she was there already and nothing she could do to change that.
Vannah looked around the huge office. It was a bit cluttered with all sorts of magical objects and tools. She looked up at the pictures of previous Heads, and some were glaring back. She turned her head away from the knowing eyes and back to the Headmistress.

Hells waited for Savannah to be seated and settled before she began. Brushing her hair back away from her face, Hells studied the student momentarily, noticing her unease under the glare of the portraits. Turning her attention to the portraits herself, Hells nodded at them, giving them the silent order for them to leave whilst she sorted this delicate situation out. The less audience Savannah had, the easier it may be for her to open up.
Unclasping her hands and letting them rest softly in her lap, Hells looked back at Savannah. "Savannah." the headmistress said, addressing the girl once again. "Do you know why I requested your visit?"

Vannah let the question sink into her mind. She convinced herself she knew what the meeting was about, though there was something in the back of her head telling her it could be anything. She certainly had no intention if discussing what happened in the owlery anymore. For all she knew, she had closed that part of her memory off few the past few weeks.
"Not particularly." Vannah partially lied. She had an idea and was pretty sure it was the right one, but if she didn't need to say anything about the incident, then she wouldn't. She turned the claddaugh ring on her finger so it was centered. Vannah then placed her hands on her lap and crossed her legs at the knee. She looked straight at Hells when she spoke.

Raising an eyebrow, Hells surveyed Savannah a moment, before she spoke. "The reason why I asked you here," Hells began, her eyes positioned on Savannah's face. "Is that I heard some veryserious allegations concerning yourself and a boy at this school. The allegations I was notified of, was the fact that you were made to do something you didn't want to with a student called Emilian."
Hells eyes remained on Savannah as she waited for a response. From the way Savannah sat, anyone would think she was calm, but to Hells, Savannah only looked strong on the outside. She had noticed the playing with the ring previously, yet Hells knew that she was going to have a tough job with this student.

Vannah closed her eyes, but for such a short time that it seemed like a blink. She was tempted to say that many "serious allegations" had gone on, just for a laugh, but she kept her mouth shut. She was also tempted to walk out the door. She wasn't sure which temptation was stronger: to lead her enemy to his doom, or to leave and forget anything had happened.
"I don't understand." Vannah said innocently, though she unsderstood completely. Her eyes were wide and her face had a confused expression on it, though it was anything but.

"Savannah." Began Hells calmly. "Don't mess me around. We both know what is being talked about here and I am here to help you. Now Druscilla told me about what happened between yourself and Emilian. Before I can continue with what I plan to do, I need to verify with you that what I was told is correct. You do not need to answer my question with any details. I just want you to answer yes or no. That way you do not need bring up that awful time again." Hells continued to stare at Savannah, her eyes wide and severe as she studied the child's face. "Were you raped by Emilian?"

Vannah made a mental note to track down Dru later. She crossed her arms over her chest and waited for Hells to finish speaking. Her anger began to swell up inside of her. Her mind felt like it was being filled up with a cloud of smoke. Different thoughts raced through her mind, but none of them were clear enough to recognize. Even after Hells stopped speaking, Vannah was silent.
Then she finally spoke, "Yes. I was. I was raped and nearly screwed up my life because of it. I shut myself up away from everyone else. For the first time in a very long time I lost the fight I fought hard to win." Vannah willed the tears that threatened to leak out of the corner of her eyes away.
