Well, her first meeting with Raven could have gone better. Not that she really blamed Raven for reacting the way she did. Had the roles been reversed she probably would have reacted the same way but that didn't make her feel any better. No, Rian had been her last shot and it was obviously not going to work. But with the papers signed, at least she was away form the muggles right? Maybe she could find another place to live during the summer? She didn't have to stay with Rian and Raven. Keira was no stranger to nights on the street, it was only 2 months until school started again, the team would take care of her during the day right? This was just a minor set back.

She walked through the grounds avoiding eye contact with people. She wasn't in the mood to exchange pleasantries. Since returning to school she had gone back to keeping to herself. It wasn't hard really. People knew she wasn't talkative and usually they left her alone to her thoughts. It hadn't gotten out yet that she was a strategist so she was still able to work for Grayson and she threw herself into the job and her studies. It had been a week and Keira hadn't attempted to make contact with Rian or Raven, avoiding the owlery like the plague and refused to go near any owls with letters attached to them. Sure, a few notes had ended up on her bed from room mates who go tired of the pecking at the window but she hadn't opened them. It wasn't the most mature way she could be handling herself, but she was only 16, she didn't have to be mature all the time right? It wasn't like her leaving messed anything up, at least, in her head it didn't.

It was getting late in the school year and the heat of the sun felt good as she climbed the stairs at the Quiddich Pitch. This was the place that made Keira feel the most at home. The wide open space, the stale smell of the old wood benches and most of all the emptiness of the space when there wasn't a game going on. The small Ravenclaw wouldn't be caught dead here during an actual game; Way to many people in close proximity. No, this was her favourite place to come and be alone, to think and work. This also happened to be the place where she met Rian for the first time, but that was neither here nor there. Taking her normal seat in the bleachers of the pitch she pulled out her parchment and quill and went over some of the notes she made on the Slytherin team. As the players took the pitch she sighed and slipped back into her norm.

’Apologize.’

“If you’re half-cocked to think that I’m going to be the one to apologize, Lewis, you’ve got another thing coming to you! You can’t just expect that you can start going off and making these irrational life-changing decisions all by yourself. We’re supposed to be getting married for Merlin’s sake and I just-“

‘Rave.’ His voice normally soothed her. And it would have if she had been in her right mind. She was vile - livid. Soaking in the bathtub with bubbles up to her chin, she looked as if she needed a stiff drink…or three. Rian couldn’t expect her to idle and relent when he had quite literally plopped a child into her life and expected her to roll with the punches. ‘Rave, look at me.’

She raised her hazel eyes ever so slightly with an indignant turn of her chin upwards, “Lewis, I swear if you even try to-“

He pressed his lips to hers, silencing her with a mere kiss. She knew he was right. She could be mad, but in the end, this girl needed Rian and she needed to be there for her. She could mend the bridge…at least, as best she could.

Straightening the lapels of her fur jacket as she walked through the corridors of Hogwarts, Raven Monroe tried her hardest not to feel as if she was walking down a hallway full of shame and lost dignity. Here she was on her way to apologize to a bloody child. She turned quickly into the next corridor, hoping that she would avoid most of the students. The red-haired reporter didn’t need rumors circulating about what she was doing in Hogwarts a mere few weeks before her wedding day.

That was when it hit her. The girl wasn’t even inside the castle. Rave turned and booked it in the other direction, heading toward the grand doors that led to the grounds and then making her way toward the Quidditch pitch.

The stairs were a hike - especially in the five inch heels that she had opted for this morning. In fact - with her overly large sunglasses, fur, and pencil skirt, she rather looked like she was going to a modest gala rather than confronting her future husbands ‘child.’ As she reached the top of the daunting stairs she finally found the girl, “Keira!” She spoke more loudly than she had intended, although she was certain it would rouse the girl from her parchment and quill long enough to have her actually look at her.

Stepping over the benches with careful cautiousness and in an effort not to fall, Rave managed her way to the same bench that the girl was on, “You haven’t returned our owls, you know. Rian was beginning to worry.” She realized a little too late that she forgot to tuck her own name into the concern, “And of course, I was ever the worried one as well.” Merlin, this was off to a wretched start. She sad down next to her and tucked her ankles as she placed her hands delicately in her own lap. Apologize? Not yet. First she had to feel the girl out.

The practice was ending as the other figure appeared in the stands; not that Keira noticed at all. Her nose was too far in her book as she finished making her notes give to Grayson. She was too focused to even hear the sound of Raven’s heels clicking up the wooden stairs. The Slytherin team was good this year and Ravenclaw would need to pick up their game in order to have any chance in winning the cup. Glancing from her notes to the pitch and back again she had no idea that Raven was even there until she spoke.

The sound of her name ringing out from an unfamiliar voice made her practically fall off her seat. She instantly thought that the team had caught her and sent someone to take care of it. Gripping her wand she peered over the bench and sighed at the site of the red head. Great, what did SHE want? Taking her seat on the bench again and double checked that no one on the pitch had heard the woman. Lucky for both of them, the team seemed too enthralled with what their captain was saying to have taken any notice.

As Raven approached Keira braced herself for a reaming and immediately started to plot her retort. She figured Raven had come to tell her to stay away; she wouldn't blame her if she did. Keira would have done the same thing if Rian had been her fiancé. Not that it have ever crossed her mind before, or that she even though of him as that. No, Rian was like a big brother, an authority figure that she could actually look up to. And Raven was…. Well, she was a woman that Keira didn't really want to piss off. No more than she already had anyway. Keira didn't even know why Rae had been so mean in the first place, it wasn't her fault Rian hadn't spoken to Raven before bring her home. She eyed the woman a little, not really sure what she was supposed to do.

“I've been busy….figured you were too. I didn't want to bother you with anything.” She spoke passively, not really wanting things to get heated while the Slytherin team was still on the pitch. She raised her eyebrow at Raven’s added statement. “You don’t have to lie to me you know… I know you don’t like me, it isn't that big of a deal.” Keira wasn't the type to sugar coat things. She called things as she saw them and didn't let how other felt bother her.
