*awakens on a forest floor, fifty miles away from Hogwarts, and breathes in the moisture coming from the dirt her face is lying upon. Her body aches in pain, slashes that ran four inches wide and sometimes as deep across her chest, stomach, back, and arms throbbed horribly. Her head felt if possible, worse. Her mouth dry, her wand gone, and no streangth whatsoever to leave, she hoisted herself from the dirt, not knowing where she was. It had been a eight weeks since she had run from Hogwarts, and regretted it at thought of the previous night`s battle. More than a month she had been away from civilization, living off the food provided from the forest, but now, skinny and unhealthy as she was, she was never hungry, just thirsty. She looked around the clearing and pulled herself into the stream, letting the cold water rush over her wounds. The water made one of them stand out however. Looking down to her stomach, she found a severly deep, and somewhat siscusting slashg at her left side. Taking off her cloak, she pressed upon the wound, groaning and wincing. She stood and got out of the water, then decided, it was time to go back. She had left hogwarts to clear her mind, but ran into trouble on her way back and had been left stranded in the clearing she stood in. Wandless, she had no way of knowing where she was. Her decision made, she started out of the forest.*
*she dodges twigs and branches, but after several hours, makes it out of the forest. What met her eyes was not Hogwarts, but a muggle town. Cursing at herself, she made her way up the street, gaining more curious looks by the second.**She was lost. looking down the street she came, she turned into an alley way, dropped the cloak covering her deep wound, and turned into a black wolf. Setting into what was another forest, she made it halfway through before she collapsed. Breathing hard, agian she stood, edging her way through it. At the end she saw a light, going faster she broke through it, then, turning back into a human, saw it was Hogesmeade. Even though the knot in her heart loosened, she didn`t smile, or show any sighn of relief. She didn`t care about those things anymore.**making her way through the crowd, she made it to Hogwarts.**goes up the stone steps and into the Griffindor Common room where collapses on couch, blood pouring from mouth and side wound. She blackened out*
§ When she awoke, blood rushing through her veins, she was in a dimly lit room. She noticed the many beds that surrounded her covered in white sheets. Though she didn't care how she got there she knew she was in the hospital wing. When she removed her cloak she found only a slight blimish where her wounds had been.
She then fell into the deepest sleep she had ever had. She was awoken abruptly the next day when she heard the loud shreik of the passing ghost Peeves. When the noise died down she found herself staring at the bedside table where she found a letter that hadn't been there during the night. When she opened it she found that she was in consideration of being expelled for running away from hogwarts. §
(you play your character silly, :-* I`m Lavender, thats cool though. Your tekronman, or Brandon, or summat)
oops sorry im new at this, how did i do
æ One day brandon awoke to the news of his girlfriends arrival. Ron weasly had sprung onto his bed holding the school paper. Under a picture of lavender he read the words, " She returns, the star seeker of ravenclaw has returned, and just in time for the halloween dance."
Then he rushed to see her in the hospital wing, but she was asleep still. He quickly made a card to set on the bedside table hoping she would find it when she awoke. on the letter it said.
dear lavender,
(thats more like it! :-* :-* :-*)
*Awakens in the hospital wing* ouch. *sits up in bed and looks around, then sees the card**opens it and reads it*
æ brandon sat sickly in potions class wondering how his girlfriend was doing. just then he heard his name being called from the hallway. he realized that professor magonagol was in the hallway requesting that brandon join her to the hospital wing æ
*is sitting up in bed, reading the letter*
*brandon enters the hospital wing* he notices the medicine beside her bed and wonders if she is injured
*looks up as he enters* hey! *puts the letter back on the side table* thanks for that *smiles*
*leans down and kisses her on the cheek :-** he then asks her if she has been hurt.
( ;D)
well......*bits lip* yeah......I`m ok though
thats great he replies, but why did you go he says * wincing at the sight of her scarred wrist* and what happened to your arm
oh, Brandon, I`m so, so sorry. I just ent to clear my mind and stuff, but then I was attacked and they took my wand *starts crying* I was transported somewhere and I got lost..I`m so sorry *crys harder*

yeah...*stands up with difficulty, one hand on ribs where they had broken, and walks slowly to him**embraces him in a hug, missing him more than ever* I missed you so much
as did i, as did i * pats her back* then he turns toward mcgonagall and asks to be alone
*Mcgonnagal leaves*
dang this is a tuff one
Brandon then turns back to lavender*tears in eyes* and asks her if she would like to go to lunch with him at the hogsmeade
*nods* of course! *smiles*
*THE NEXT DAY*
*wakes up in Hospital wing, then after Pomfrey securely ties bandages on stomach, gets dressed in robes and heads out slowly to the Griffindor Common Room*
when brandon wakes he heads down to the dorm to find lavender waiting for him,they head out the school on their way to diagon alley
*walks with him and they enter Hogesmeade* where d`you want to go?
he orders two butterbeers and pays i dont know where do you want to go
thanks *shrugs* I dunno..ummm....I have no idea
*shrugs* i guess we could wander the alley and find somewhere
*is walking trying to figure out how the wierd machin in her hands works bumbs right intop Brandon and Lav* Opps sorry guys, I didn't look where I was going....*glars at the machien*Its because of this*holds it up* Fred and George said theyd give me twenty gallons if I figured out how it works
its okay, oh that looks like a transcontinental teleportion device, watch the green button underneath the yell one or you will wake up in austraila
*nods* I know what it is, my brothers just want to know how to make one....*has an indea throws the machin on the ground a a pice of paper pops out of it*Ah Ha!*picks up the paper and pockets it* So, where are you guys going?
we havent decided where to go yet but when my girlfriend gets back from talking to her friend i think we might head back to hogwarts for a nice afternoon alone at the quidditch feild
*grins and winks* Well I'm going for a butterbeer
we just came from there and they are a lot better than usual but that could be that i can taste now that she has come back
*nods* Well, see ya later guys*starts walking the rembers something and turns around* I'd better take this blueprint to my brothers first
see you later ginny tell ron i said hi*turns and walks towards lavender*
*sees him coming over and smiles*
so how does the quidditch feild sound for our first date since your return
*smiles broader* shure!
great but come alone if you can i thought we might watch the slytherin team practice
*laughs a little* yeah, the way they play. *shakes head in amusement then clasps hand around his*
i will meet you there around six i got some supplies to get before i head back or you can join me
*laughs and lets go* yeah, I`ll try to get some Dungbombs off of Gorge. See ya. *kisses his cheek and walks down the street*
*smiles and watches lavender leave* he wonders what misery she had to go through while missing when he decides to make his way to the bookstore
*stops halfway down the road and rubs broken ribs, then buys dungbombs and headsdown to bookstore where picks out about twenty books, all of them black with red lining**walks to the shop owner and he starts to ring then up*
next day
sits down on the east side of the quidditch feild and keeps an eye open for lavender
*walks onto the Quiditch field, holding side as walks**approachs Brandon*
stands up and hugs lavender carefully and sits down beside her
hey *smiles and pulls out large bag of dungbombs and hands it to him* here, I cant throw like this. *grins slyly* try and get malfoy in the face
i will*smiles*so when does pomphrey think you'll recover from your injuries
my wrist is better now, but she doesnt know about my stomache yet. *rolls eyes* thats never stopped me before, I`ve hurt myself muck worse than this when I was six. *grins slyly and raises hand**two brooms appear in hand and she hands one to Brandon* Want a closer shot? *grins and mounts broom then takes off, but stops to watch them play at a safe distance*
*watches lavender fly off* mounts his nimbus 3000 and jets off towards lavender and throws a couple of the stink bombs at malfoy hitting him right in the face and causing him to crash into patty
*laughs hysterically* we should do this every day! *flys and catches the Snitch right in front of the Sltytherin seekers nose**flys away from them, avoiding bludgers, and back over to brandon, snitch still in hand*
thats slytherins weakness their seekers always suck even an injured player could catch the snitch flying backwards before them
*laughs harder* yeah
thats why gryffindor always wins even when harry, fred, and george got kicked off the team last year
yeah, Malfoy`s the worst out of all of them *smiles and flys back down to the ground agian*
*follows lavender* would you like to come back to the dorm with me i have a present for you

Oh! *smiles happily and hugs him tightly* thank you so, so much!

*admires the wand a bit then places it pocket**looks back up at him, the fire reflecting in her eyes*
i hope you like it, it might not work as good as your old one....*notices lavender is looking at him*
it`ll work perfect, its the same as my dad`s , willow and pheniox feather *keeps eyes on him*
*wonders how she will react if he kissed her*

*waves the wand, using magic to scoot closer to him*

*smiles as puts it back in pocket, then looks up at him agian*

*darts into the path of a bludger and gets waylayed in the chest**falls thirty feet and breaks arm and dislocates shoulder* aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
*screams and lys to the ground next to him* oh my god, are you ok? *Mcgonnagal comes out and magics a streacher then puts him on it and starts ff the field**follows closely and helps lay him on the Hospital Wing bed*

*realizes he cant move his arms* my arms what happened to my arms
pomfrey: shhhh shhhhhh dont worry there fine you just broke your left arm and dislocated you right shoulder you can return to school in a couple of days
*comes back around and watches him sadly as the hours pass, untill it turns midnight**falls asleep in the chair next to his bed*
*wakes up the next morning to find lavender sleeping with her head resting on his chest*
*wakes up as he stirrs* hey! how`re you feeling?

*looks sadly at him agian* it was my fault you were hurt, there was no way I could leave you.
*grabs lavenders hand* thank you, but its not your fault its mine i would be fine but if i didnt stop it you would be the one laying in the hospital
Brandon, I cant let you hurt yourself because of me. now I want you to think about this. No matter what happens, I`ll always love you. *kisses him o the cheek and stands* I`ll be back, I have to see Mcgonnagal for a moment. *walks out of the room*
*while lavender is out of the room brandon writes a letter and sends it to his parents telling them that hes fine and that lavender and pomfrey are taking care of him* there now they know that me and lavender are going out but i dont konw if they'll like it

*smiles at him then takes a couple bites of jello, but lets fork fall to plate with a clatter as a boy enters**goes pale in the face and mood sinks like a rock*
what what is it lav
(not really o`course)
Patterson. *sees the look on his face* an ex-boyfriend of mine.
oic well ill c u in the hospital wing l8er thn
*as Patterson advances forward toward her, she stands and walks from the room, tears flowing silenly from her face**walks out to the grounds where snow was falling thickly**walks over to the lake that was now ice and steps slowly upon it to the middle*
waches from window wile patterson gets closer to lav
*they each draw their wands, pointing at eachothers hearst then they both lunge, sending curses flying everywhere, scratching and hitting as much of the other as can**as mist from the spells clear the two are an feet, four feet from eachother, each covered in blood and each shaking fom the cold and the hexes**they each raise their wands and send a curse at eachother, Patterson going sliding across the ice and Lavender going flying into the forest, the branches and trigs ripping her skin as she flys through them, then lands in a particularly rocky area, the impact of the landing making her throat threaten her with throwing up blood**walks, not the way she came, but around as to avoid him, the cold biting her muscles like needles**finally makes it out of the forest behind him and makes him slide across the ice agian before Snape runs out and starts yelling at her, not even bothering with Patterson, a Slytherin*
*brandon seeing the first blow thrown gets the video camera he recieved for christmas and tapes the battle* i knew this would come in handy and snape cant wiggle his student out of this one
*as Snape turns on his heel and walks away with Patterson, face shows the sighns of upmost fury, but,, wincing, reaches to feel the back of shoulder and when looks at hand after rubbing the painful bone, winces agian, then shakes hand, red liquid splattering the snow**turns into black wolf and sits upon the snow, head turned toward the forest in thought*
runs to tend to lavs wounds and help her to the hospital
*growls as he approaches however, the thought of seeing her ex agian making her mood to an all-time low*
stops short of reachin her and looks afraid and confused
lav its me
*turns into self, her face in an expression of fury and pain* WHO the heck does he think he is? *starts blowing off steam* sorry. *shudders* I just cant believe hes at Hogwarts.
are you okay we must get you back to the hospital before that wound on you neck gets worse
*looks at him for a moment, then gives in* all right. *they walk up to the Hospital Wing (HW) and Pomfrey cleans up her cuts so she is as good as new, then as Pomfrey leaves to her office, sits on the ens of bed looking extremely irritated*
you must try to handle your temper or sometime i wont be there to help you
*mouth drops in hurt and anger* you- *stands up, ending the conversation and leaves the room leaving him there and goes up to the Griffindor Common Room where turns into wolf and curls up in the fire but doesnt fall asleep*
sighs and falls asleep on his hospital bed wondering if this was the end of their relationship, and what he would tell his parents when they arrive the next day
*walks into the Gryffindor common room and immediately recognizes the wolf as Lav* hey Lav! *smiles* is everything ok? you seem a bit down. *frowns*
skips breakfast and decides to sleep in
*gets out of the fire and turns into self* its Patterson, you know my ex, the one who hit me. He came back to Hogwarts and let me tell you, it6 hasnt improved my mood. I feel bad for not telling Brandon what he did to me, because now he thinks I just lost my temper on this guy, but I men, dont I have the right?
wakes up and sits on window sill looking out at the school grounds
*gives an evil glare after 'hit me'* yes, you did have the right. where is he now? Patterson, that is. *smiles angelicly*
*shakes head* I dont even want to know...*sighs* I`ll see ya around. *walks out to the snow covered grounds only in black tank-top and black jeans, eyes finding the forest agian*
*eyes flash again and is anxious to suddenly run into him. sighs and walks back up to the Slytherin common room*
(G2G)
*walks around the grounds, then walks to the edge of the forest where looks in, wondering if should proceed*
(k, buh bye :()
*sits down in a chair and falls asleep*
*stands up from the window and slowly makes way to meet parents who are entering the school doors* mom, dad im so glad to see you
*sees figures at the doors and notices who they are**feels bad so walks up to Brrandon*
*is just telling parents that they dont have to worry, that he thought that him and lavender were through when he sees her approaching* *glances at her and then back to his parents*
*hears what he says, but doesnt look angrily at him, just stops as soon as is next t him and gives him a short smile, her features shining, then walks inside, he hair still blowing in the wind**walks into the Great Hall*
invites parents into lunch and sits at the opposite end of the table as lavender
*grabs a few grapes and pops them into mouth, then stands and leaves the hall to class*
when done eating takes parents to hospital where they talk for a couple of hours and then watches them leave the school through the hospital window
*taks arm-load of books from classes and heads to the Griffindor Common room, but trips on the stairwell and books go falling down the stairs**sighs and walks down the stairs where picks them up and walks, agian, to the top of the stairwell and enters the portriat**walks over to table and dumps bag and books, then goes over to the chair by the fire and sits*
*makes his way back to gryfindor to pick up some clothes to where the next day and some more snacks*
*looks around the chair arm as he enters* hey * looks back at the fire*
*doesnt reply heads up gathers stuff and sets it on table then sits beside lavender*
so are we really through, i mean is this the end * waits and then stands up and heads towards portrait*
*jumps out of seat and opens mouth to speak, but as the portriat closes behind him, doesnt know what to do**makes decision and runs after him* Brandon wait, PLEASE! *runs up to him* d-d`you want it to be over?
i dont know, i really dont know, one second your the girl i fell in love with and the next your a savage wolf snarling at me, so i dont really know

runs after her
wait, wait, what do you mean i dont understand,
Brandon *looks at him* it really got to me when you said I needed to control my temper, but theres just one out of the many things you still need to learn about me if theres ever going to be an us. I didnt just attack him out of the blue, he followed me, and I was the one who was always hit when he and I were togeather. Like i said, you have to understand that in my life I havent met the best people *puts hands in pockets as stares at the snow-covered ground*
how am i supposed to learn these things if you never want to talk about them your always running off, i really want there to be an us but i just cant take the chasing you around
I dont know.....mabe we just werent ment to be...bye Brandon....*walks away from hm, tears streaming down her face, itn the girls dorms**falls asleep*

*fingers the soft flakes of snow on the ground, the snow cold and crisp*
