Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not just a place for looking at Uranus (The planet, you pervs!) anymore! Feel free to observe the planets, or the person next to you, up close.

-The night sky was an inky black. Small pinpricks of light filtered in through the black velvet sky. Telescopes were set up every few feet, but it wasn't like most people bothered to use them. From the highest tower in Hogwarts, you could see everything happening on the side of the castle, and that was generally what the telescopes were, if ever, used for.-

(I figured we can always use another RP place, so, voila! Here it is. Oh, and please pardon the pun above sweatdrop )

~Bella had walked up the long stairs to the Astronomy Tower thinking hard. See hadn't seen Lina all day since breakfast, and this place was the only place she could think that Lina might be. Bella sometimes came up here occasionally to think, so she guessed Lina might be doing the same.
Bella quietly pushed open the trapdoor to the tower, and walked out onto the top of the tower.
Spotting Angelina standing by the edge, Bella slowly walked over to her, and realised she was crying. Worried that she was wrong about Draco being mad, Bella walked up behind her, and wrapped her arms around Lina. Bella hugged her tight, letting her know without words, that she was there for her...~

~Bella continued Lina's sentence for her, "Is being a jealous git, who needs to get over himself and realise that you're taken. Don't give him any leeway when he tries to ruin your relationship with Draco. Show him that you're happier now than you ever were with him." Bella gently released Angelina, and quickly conjured a comfortable looking couch. She helped Lina to sit and then sat next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Draco is perfect for you, and you're perfect for him. Don't ever let anyone try and tell you otherwise."~

~Bella looked at Lina, and felt like her heart was aching. It was so hard to watch her friend's total meltdown. "You're starting to doubt yourself, Angelina," Bella said softly, wrapping her arms around the crying girl again. "You're not sure of your love for Draco now for some reason. Why? Has he said something to you that made you feel as if he doesn't love you?"
Pausing for a moment, Bella plucked up the courage to ask her friend the question she had been wanting to ask all along, "Lina, has Draco ever told you flat-out that he loves you? Or has he always been the one who says it after you do?"~

~Bella's right hand was itching to smack Lina upside the head, "Lina, what Draco says, he means. Slytherins are taught from birth to lie their way around everything, but love is one thing we don't fool around with. It's power is too great to abuse. If Draco said that he loved you, even if it was only once, he means it. I'm sure of it. That's why when I finally get to talk to Harry once he's out of the hospital wing, I need just to tell him straight out. Love is something everyone needs to take seriously. When love is taken lightly, people start getting into trouble."
Bella gave Lina another quick hug and then stood up facing her. "Lina," she said matter-of-factly, "you need to realise how perfect you and Draco are for each other, and then go and tell him you love him. Not as a joke, but as a true statement of your feelings. Just say it right now, out loud and then listen to what your heart tells you."~

~Bella took a breath, trying to stop herself from grabbing Angelina and shaking her. "Lina, listen to yourself! Your over-analizing the situation and getting yourself into trouble! Catch your breath and say, "I love Draco Malfoy", that's it, just four words. Just say them outloud and hear yourself say them. Let your brain finally catch up with what your heart has been telling you all along." Bella slowly knelt in front of Angelina and took Lina's hands in hers. Looking up at her tear-stained face Bella said softly and slowly, "Angelina, take a deep breath, and say the words. Say them, and hear what your heart has been screaming at you. Say them, Lina..."~

~Bella noticed Draco, and quickly spoke to Angelina, "Trust me, Lina. Just close your eyes and say the words out loud!" As Lina closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, Bella whipped her head around to glare at Draco mouthing, "I will kill you if you ruin this!"~

~Bella felt the tears start to fall as she watched the couple embrace. Laughing quietly, Bella stood up and then hugged them both. "My work here is done," she said giving a nod to both of them. "Don't let your head take control of your heart too often, Lina," Bella called over her shoulder as she began heading down the steps, wiping the tears from her face. She was so happy for them. Now all she needed was for Harry to get better...~
