Raine

Chapter 2

She looked alot better. She had showered. Her hair had been brushed and pulled back into a long plait. She was wearing sky blue hooded robes, causing him to sigh.

"Raine." If had one he would have been pinching the bridge of his nose. She really was a handful.

"Yes daddy." she tied a matching blue ribbon around the bottom of her plait.

"You have a meeting don't you?" He didn't like the position she was taking in the war.

"You can't stop me daddy, I'm sixteen." She was the only person who even dared to talk to him like that.

"Raine." he said firmly, "I don't like this organisation."

She turned to him, "I don't want to fight in this war. I can't fight in this war. Do you want me getting hurt?"

"No, But Raine. I can protect you."

"No you can't." And suddenly he knew. She didn't feel safe and that's why she had joined the Phalanx.

"Ray..."

"Bye dad." she kissed him on the cheek and brushed past him. He had lost her.

It was a cruel thing to say and she knew it. But she had realised long ago that her dad couldn't protect and that the only person who could was herself.

It was one of the things that Whispher argued about with her. She wasn't as openly affectionate with Tom as Raine was but she idolised him. Whispher adored him and his beliefs and his way of doing things. Raine disagreed with the pair of them. Her father was a hypocrite. She loved him dearly but she couldn't support him. So she joined the Phalanx.

The Phalanx were a secret organistaion similiar to the Order of the Phoenix, yet they were openly pledging neutrality.

The Phalanx had been started years ago by five remarkable people. People whom she respected.

She had never met Lily Potter but she had heard of her and all the stuff she believed in.

She absolutely adored Narcissa and Ted.

Adromeda was so motherly it was painful.

And then there was Sirius. He was her teddy bear.

She brushed the angry tears away. Revenge would come later.

As soon as she was past the Manor's wards she apparated.

Revenge would definately come later.
