The birds and the bees... not a good thing to know

[Lottie]

Lottie, Kasey and the two boys headed down to the lake after leaving the corridor from the Hufflepuff common room. The small, brunette girl of the pair seemed to be scared to a state of paralysis, while the older, black haired girl pushed a twin stroller with a dark haired baby boy in it.

Taking off her cloak awkwardly and wrapping it around D'Argo to make sure he wouldn't get a cold thank to the chilling wind that greeted them, the small Hufflepuff headed to the one place she knew she could gather her thoughts. The lake.

Taking in a huge breath as she got there, all Lottie wanted to do was curl up and cry somewhere, forget it had all happened, maybe climb in a tree and only go back down when it was time for dinner. Sitting down on the cold, slightly damp grass, Lottie pulled D'Argo onto her knee. "C'mon you. Let's get you all wrapped up so your Mummy doesn't shout at me," the brunette whispered, a lot of shakyness still evident, and obvious fear behind the almost silent words.

Kasey walked slowly beside Lottie, with her son Demetrius snuggled into the stroller silently watching the wind swirl leaves and various other objects around him. She smiled as Lottie wrapped D'Argo in her cloak to prevent him from catching a chill from the cool wind that had settled in over the grounds.

She parked the stroller and sat down on the slightly damp grass near Lottie and placed one hand on the stroller so Demetrius knew she was there, and so she knew if he needed her. She looked at the pale brunette, some colour was coming back to her cheeks but quite slowly and there was still some evident shaking.

Tucking a free flowing lock of jet black hair behind her left ear, she crossed her legs and began to try and find out what had happened to turn such a bubbly girl into an emotional wreck.
"What happened in there Lottie? Did someone try to hurt you?" the nurse knew this couldn't be possible as who in their right mind would want to hurt such a wonderful girl and of all the Hufflepuffs she knew, they would never dream of doing such a thing.

[Lottie]

What happened in there, Lottie? Did someone try to hurt you?

What had happened? Why had she freaked out so bad? Oh yes, it was all coming back already. Letting D'Argo sit on her knee and lean back against her, Lottie began fiddling with a piece of hair. "No... no one tried... to do that... I don't think.... They were..."

How could she explain it? Forgoil had heard her say something earlier that day and so... "They were telling me about.... about the birds and the bees," the brunette girl almost whispered, her voice evidently choking once more. "Forgoil told me that something I said earlier today was an... an.. innueto?" she explained. "I'd only offered to show a new guy round..." Tears began to spring to her eyes again, prickling painfully as she spoke. "But apparently he could have taken it wrong and... and done what... what... what he did..." The final words were nothing more than a squeak as she uttered them. Remembering was the worst thing ever.

"The birds and the bees?" Kasey said raising a brow, then a laugh erupted from the nurse
"Oh god" she said shaking her head. The laughter soon resided as she saw the fear back in Lottie's eyes, she listened to what Forgoil had said and she frowned.
"Hmm...I know he is protective of you but this is ridiculous" Kasey wrapped an arm around Lottie's shoulder's and gave her a sideways hug.

"I think I may have to have a chat with Forgoil, he has jumped to a rather silly and so it has turned out a rather serious conclusion" the mother ran a hand over Lottie's head once more,
"You didn't do anything wrong love, to be honest I would have said the same thing you did as I am sure many students have, and there is nothing wrong with it".

[Lottie]

Lottie nodded repeatedly as Kasey reassured her she hadn't done anything wrong. "I don't want to go back in there, Kase... they'll all think I'm stupid," she managed to reply, the tears from before settling down, but giving way to the quieter, calmer fear that lay inside. The fear that would paralyse Lottie completely and take over, entering her thoughts in both wakefulness and sleep.

So long as she didn't wake up Faye, it was fine.

Piping up, Lottie asked something she never thought would escape her mouth, and something which would likely shock Kasey, too. "Can I stay in the Hospital Wing for a few days? I could help? And sleep on the couch? I really don't want to go back, Kasey..."

[K~Bear]

Kasey smiled down to Lottie,
"They won't think your stupid Lottie" she told the brunette,
"And I'm sure they would understand and be happy to help you out". She then listened as Lottie protested going back into the Common Room, as much as Kasey knew it was a good idea that she went back what the girl had gone through today was just too much,
"Yes you are welcome to stay there if you wish, but I want you to tell everyone that you are ok, I'm sure they are all worried sick about you after you ran out like that".

[Lottie]

Lottie nodded. "Thank you," she replied quietly. She had no problem with Kasey telling them all she was okay. However, she just needed a night away before going back and facing them again, going back through what Forgoil had said, recalling herself running out.

"Promise promise you won't tell them why, Kasey? Please? Promise promise?" Lottie asked, or rather pleaded. If word got out about why she was so scared, the brunette wouldn't be allowed to be left on her own with any other males than Wyl and Forgoil. That much she could see...

[K~Bear]

Kasey smiled to Lottie and nodded
"I promise promise" she said letting her arm slip from around the girls shoulders,
"You will be ok I'm sure, but I think someday you may have to tell them what happened, but not untill you are ready of course".

[Lottie]

Lottie nodded, looking down. She knew that by the end of the week, it was likely Faye would know, but the brunette would tell the rest of them in her own time, as and when she pleased. Knowing herself as well as she did, it was likely none of the others would ever know.

Rubbing her arms to try and warm them up a little underneath her school jumper as she pulled back a crawling D'Argo who was headed towards the water. "Not that way," she whispered, "otherwise you'll be back in your buggy," Lottie nodded, ruffling his hair gently.

[K~Bear]

Kasey smiled as D'Argo tried to make an unsuccessful escape,
"I think we can spot the difference in these twins" she said with a small laugh as she looked at Demetrius who returned her look, with what could have almost have been made out to have been a raised brow at her and his brother. Reaching over Kasey unbuckled the brunette boy, who seemed to be saying 'about time'. She cuddled the little boy in her arms and stroked his little hand.

"You know Lottie, seeing we are talking over things, I'll be honest I'm really worried about me and the kids. I don't know if Zeion is ever going to come back, I know I have two fantastic babysitters in you and Carmen, but you have your own lives to go on with and things might get hectic as I am thinking about going back to work soon. Maybe I am just overreacting but I cant deny that I am scared", she knew that this might be a lot for the young girl to take in, with her own issues and all but the nurse had to tell someone and at this moment she felt best with Lottie.
