Maria suddenly felt sick. What had she said? She had tried her hardest to warn the boy without revealing anything, but quite obviously she had said something wrong. She scrambled for words - ones that would get her out of trouble.
"Professor Dean?" Maria asked in what she hoped was a curious voice. She could feel the color leaving her face. "I know that he's a little bit creepy, and that he seems to know a lot about Voldemort's time." Maria wondered if Gyan knew Legilimency. If he did, then maybe she could get a message across to him. I'm not allowed to tell. Please don't ask anything. Please!
She twiddled her wand in her fingers slightly. She had heard about the memory charm, but had never had any reason to attempt it. Maybe she could try that if she had to. Maria shivered and shook on the inside, but tried to keep herself still. She couldn't look afraid.

Gyan diddn't know Legilimency, he was only an Occlumens. He suddenly had an idea. He raised his wand and shouted, "Tell me!" He then winked his eye, hoping she would get it.

Maria was still worried. She could tell Gyan was trying really hard to put on a show, but if the Professor really could read minds, then she was in trouble. "Okay!" She shouted, trying to sound desperate. "Okay! I'll tell you. I think the Professor knows Legilimency." She began, trying to come up with coded messages as she went. "And if I tell anything," Maria said, pausing with her right hand in the air, as though she were swearing an oath. Her sleeve fell to show a wristband. "It might be thought of as only a rumor."
She hoped Gyan could figure it out. Then again, she didn't know if she wanted him to understand. What would he do if he realized she was working for the Dark Lord? Maria shivered. "And I'm only trying to protect my family." She muttered.

"Maria, I met him not too long ago. I know everything you've just told me. He attempted to recruit me as well, but I simply told him no, my brother and I are trying to rid the world of dark wizards, and he diddn't argue. He put a little memory charm on me though, but Occlumency kept it from being permanent." He said. "It's just worn off. If your affraid of him using Legilimency, heres a tip. Practice Occlumency, and do not make eye contact. It's crucial to Legilimency."

Maria sniffled. "I had to Gyan. You don't understand. I'm trying my best to avoid what he tells me, but I have to. My family, you know they're Muggles. They have no way to protect themselves. And I'm scared, but I've got to do this. It's how you feel when you're the oldest sibling. You feel like you have to help them out. Like it's your responsibility. And I guess it is."
She looked back at the castle. "I just hope I don't end up dragging anyone else into this mess."

Gyan tried his best to sympathise. He was the youngest sibling. "Maria, this is going to be another war if we don't stop it. And I know exactly how." He said grinning in spite of himself.

Maria nodded. "But don't tell me, Gyan. I'm still fair bait as long as I don't know Occlumency. You'll have to wait. Use me in your plan if you wish, but I don't want to know about it. As soon as I find out, both you and I are in immediate danger."
"And," Maria said. "Could you do me a favor? Maybe you could try and keep my sisters safe. I can't do much for them the way I am. I'll end up recruiting them as well."

"Look, he can't punish you for something I tell you." He said, sitting down next to her. "If you come with me, and gather up anyone else he has recruited, we can go straight to the Headmistress and end this before it begins!" Gyan said. "And yes, I'll help look after your sisters."

Maria was still uneasy, but nodded. "I have to go, though. I think Sophia was wanting to talk with me."

Gyan nodded. "Sorry, I just get really angry when dealing with dark wizards and stuff, my dads in Azkaban" Gyan said before she left. He than turned and walked back to the tree and began to attack it once more.
