The pressure is on to act like nothing is happening.

Samir watched Gemma from the cabin porch, quietly smoking. He knew better than to stand in front of hr wand when she was in this mood and his lips quirked into a small smile as the boy fell to the floor.

When the speech was over and everyone disbanded, some standing around talking whilst the students made their way back to the school, Sam walked up to Gemma and gave her a silent applaud. "Even if they aint truly devoted they're going to be too piss scared to do nothin'" he grinned, lighting another cigarette. He'd been chain smoking all day, excited. The school would have noticed he was gone by now, and he was doing well at suppressing any urge to warn his actual friends about what was going to happen. "Tonight is finally the night, sugar."

Gemma couldn't help the small smile that formed on her lips. Part of it was because of the fear and anxiety she knew was pumping through the veins of the Revolutionaries and part of it was because she was looking forward to finally taking down the school. They had been there for so long, waiting on the edges and poking. It all started last year when they set the bombs off in the school parking lot at homecoming and now it would come full circle, start a true revolution. They would take the school tonight and in a few weeks, they would take on the wizarding government.

"It's been so damn long," she said quietly. "It'll be nice to finally make a move out in the open. I don't want to hide anymore Samir," she smiled, a hint of madness in her eyes. "Tonight will be brilliant."

"We'll have to organize the students first thing in the morning every morning to make sure they're all accounted for. We need to allow them little freedoms while really we're crushing the resistance out of them. Soon enough... soon enough they'll follow, all of them. We'll give them a reason to follow or show them the dire consequences for resisting."
