Charlie remained silent once again, drawing her arms tighter around herself. Gemma had a point, there couldn't be change without a little bloodshed. During her muggle schooling, she had learned about the American revolution. She supposed it was kind of like the same thing. Although, she didn't think that anyone was really being oppressed, wasn't it more for their protection? She didn't know what to think any longer.

She looked up, her gaze following Gemma's pointing finger. It made her feel better to see the light breaking through the darkness. The mention of Alex made her tense up, did Alex know what Gemma was pulling her towards? She was her best friend, she had to know what was best, right? Who else did Charlie really have left?

"She is," Charlie said with finality. Her jaw was set and her heart was pounding. She had to protect the people she cared about. "I don't want any trouble, I'm just here to protect my family. And Alex."
