Face down -- TBD

Vinny and Ian both had a point.  I mean, their fathers were Death Eaters back in the day.  I sighed.  "True," I said.  "Do you think that it's going to get the same way that it was before?"

I looked at the guys and could see that they all looked intrigued except for Stan -- he looked a bit uneasy.  "If it's what you guys say it is, then it will," I said, speaking and thinking logically about the entire thing.  There was no doubt in my mind if this was the start of a new dark wizard, it will be at least exactly like the stories from before.

I was glad that everyone was starting to agree with me.  I smirked.  "That's exactly what is going on and I think it'll end up being the same... or worse," I predicted.

I really did not like the sound of that.  I sighed.  "Do you really think so, though?  I mean... it's not that bad out there," I pointed out,wanting to not even think about more dark times like the stories that I had heard.

I looked over at Stan and rolled my eyes, despite him not being able to see me do so.  "Constantine... really?  I know you're blind and all, but it's bad out there," I pointed out to him.  "You should be able to realize it even if you are blind."

I glared at Vinny for my best mate.  "Now, don't be insulting my main man," I said, defending Stan a little bit.

I rolled my eyes.  "Don't start arguing," I said to the boys, trying to keep things at bay.

"And there's Stan's backbone coming into play," I said, never necessarily clarifying if it was Daphne or Rory, though I meant that it was Rory.  Just as I was Vinny's backbone half the time.

I took a deep breath and tried to ignore the pang of anger at what Dorian said.  "Look, Rory is not my backbone.  But there is no reason to jump to the worst conclusions," I said, my anger clearly showing in my voice.

I smirked slightly at the hostility that was starting to grow in our own group.  "Let's not argue" I said silkily.  "It would be what whatever or whoever is out there would want us to do."

I nodded, agreeing wiht what Vinny was saying.  "That's very true," I said, wanting to keep the peace as much as possible.  "Vinny does have a point, guys, about that."

I stayed silent, watching the dynamics.  I could tell that Stan was a bit hurt by Rory siding more with Vinny than with him.  I bit my lip and tried to think of something else to speak about.  This was going to cause more strife than anything.

"Of course I have a point," I said, scoffing at the disbelievers around me.

I rolled my eyes at Vinny's cockiness.  "Crabbe, knock it off," I said to him, shaking my head.

I smiled slihgtly at the way Rory would talk to Vinny.  "Let's change the topic, shall we?" I suggested, seeing Stan getting more and more put out.
