495 RELUCTANCE

~ Flashback ~

"Except for the Dark Arts, there is another way to revive the dead. When I was in Louses, I did some research. 

"They had information about the elves. Elves have the ability to revive people. You must have an idea, don't you?" 

When the question was directed to Veronica, Catherine looked at Veronica.

"Ver?"

Veronica looked away. She couldn't look at her friend.

Catherine grabbed her shoulders and shook her. 

"Ver, say something!"

Veronica frowned. "Things like this have a price, Cathy. And, it's not a simple price."

Catherine's eyes lit up with hope. 

"What do you mean? You know a way to save him?"

"It's more like bringing him back."

Veronica was reluctant to mention it further. 

"I don't care about the price. Tell me. What do I have to do in order to bring him back to life?" Catherine urged her.

"Even if you don't care, I care!" Veronica snapped at her.
