this is a RP, please join in! :D
ahhh....*it's a quiet clear night at the lake with the full moon hanging bright and high. In the distance she could hear a werewolf, but she's not troubled. She dove in the lake, changing shape into a graceful mermaid. Her green hair billowed out behind her as she swam.* this is the only place where i feel truly free...
*He was by the lake watching the waves bob up and down when he saw something that looked like a mermaid in the water.*
*she surfaced, and saw a figure standing beside the lake*who could it be, here at the lake so late at night? *she wondered. Frightened because she didn't want ppl to find out she was a mermaid, she quickly dove back in the lake again*
*He stared because he thought he was seeing things. When he blinked it was gone.So he quickly turned invisable and walked around the lake looking for the thing he saw.*
*after a while, she surfaced, and seeing no one around, she changed back into a witch and walked back to the castle*
*He turned visable again and saw that the mermaid had changed back.He couldnt tell who it was though.*
*the next day, she was hurrying to Transfiguration. she sat down, and behind her was a boy with long red hair. she blinked, thinking he looked slightly familiar.*
*He looked at the girl in front of him.He had never seen her before but he didnt care.He was still thinking of the thing he saw in the water the night before.*
*prof McGonagall came in and said "today we're learning about Animagus'. There is a natural kind, where people are born with powers to change into other creatures, and the kind where you have to learn how to. As well as normal animals, you can also change shape into magical creatures such as unicorns, phoenix, or mermaids.*
*she felt her face grow hot and sank down a little lower into the seat*
*He saw here sink into her chair *Well theres a good thing and a bad thing about this.The good thing is i can see better.The bad thing is shes getting nervous.*He thought for a second.Ill help her out at the end of class.*
*MacDongall went on:"also, in rare occasions, a magical creature, such as a mermaid, can change into humans"*
*sank even lower*why am i so embrassed? *she wondered angrily*Because i don't want to be more diffrent than i already am *she answered herself sadly. Luckily, MacDonagall stopped talk about mermaids. The class ended and she gathered her books to go*
*He walked to her nervously.*Are you ok?
yeah *she smiles weakly*
*He was sure something was bothering her but he couldnt put his finger on it*Well we need to go.Charms is in a few minutes.
what? oh yeah, right *she hugged her books to her chest and started walking away quickly. she was confused. she desperatly needed a friend, but who would when they find out she's a mermaid? they would think her a freak*
*He came up beside her*You can tell me anything.Ill tell you im an animagus.I turn into a wolf.
*she looked at him, surprised.* wow you would just tell me your secret like that, when you don't even know who i am?
its not really a secret i thought you would know by now.And i can also turn invisable.None of these are secrets really.
*she sighs* ok, i'm a mermaid.*she looks up anxiously at him.* does that sound wierd?
He looked at her with curiosity.*Really we only had one mermaid in Hogwarts.It was 1 hundred years ago.Cho your Animagus power is rare nothing to be ashamed of really.
*she smiled, relieved.* thank you *she says softly and sincerely* oh, i don't even know your name yet. I'm Cho. *she sticks out her hand*
*He grabs her hand*Im Josh Weasley.*He was starting to sweat.*Ok we need to get to Charms.
yeah...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
next evening
*as usual, she went to the lake at night for her swim. she heard a wolf in the distance and she smiled. she changed her shape and dove in the lake. Then she gasped. Right in front of her was the giant squid, and he was acting unnaturally. His eyes were red and he grabbed her with his tenticles. she screamed...*
*He thought he heard a scream when he drinking water from the lake.He dove in looking for the source and saw squid had a mermaid.At that point he knew it was Cho.He turned into human form and dove under.He grabbed Cho by the arm and tried to pull her up to the surface so he could breathe.*
*Was sitting in the forest doing a quick mind sweep and relaizes where her brother and a girl are* Oh no, I thought he was over that hero stuff! *she dissapears and reappears beside the lake and serchs the surface* ~Josh? What's going on?~
Its the squid hes acting weird.*He kept trying to pull her away.*
*she said a strange word before blackness claimed her. But very soon other merpeople appeared*
*He couldnt hang on anymore so he let go before he drown and swam to were Ginny was*
*Ignors her brother and dives in, not even taking a breath as water is her element. The water seems to move for her and she holds out her hands toward the squid and uses her telekinetis to push him out into the air. She forces him into unconciousnes, leaving his arms to droop*
*He came out of the water soaking wet.He watched as Ginny sent the squid in the air.*
*She throws it onto land and walks up to his head and starts to talk to while giving it a once over* What is wrong with you big guy? I thought we took care of that cold, eh? Well, lets look at you eyes, ok? *She pulls one of the eyelids back and peers into the eye all the while talking soothingly*
*free, she floated gently in the water. the merpeople took her away*
*Looked at Ginny.*Weres Cho?
*glances at him* Probley with her people. They'll take care of her. If you'd like, go down there. *she flicks her hand at him* No need to worry about breathing either, I've put a sheild over your head.
Thanka Gin ill be back before classes.*He dove into the water.When he was down there he looked all around for her.Then e found a little opening in the ground.He peeked in and it was like a tunnel.He started to go down.*
next day at common room
hey guys im back. i think i know wats wrong with the giant squid! the merpeople thinks it's voldem0rt...wait, where's josh?
*He comes in the common room soaked from being in the water.*I was looking for you in the lake!!*He looked mad and he was cold.*
*stares at Cho and raises an eyebrow.* They seriously think the old man could pull this off? Stupid! *she looks at her brother and snaps her fingers, making him dry* It's not Volm0rt, the squid is sick. Trust me.
*When he became dry he immdieatly stomped upstairs to his dorm.*
*She watches her brothers back with a wierd face then shakes her head*
whats wrong with him? *she rose an eyebrow at josh's back, turning to Gin, she said* and i don't think the squid's sick. He is posessed and i think voldem0rt's after me, because-*she stopped*
*When he was in his room he layed on his bed.He thought it should be good that she was ok.He smiled thinking of how mad he made everyone else and found out he was never mad at Cho.*
*she rolls her eyes* No, Voldm0rt isn't able to posses anyone at this time. *She smiles wrily* That power of his has been cut off. But, I being the highest authority on the subject, assure you that the squid isn't being possessed by any one nor any thing. Something may be after you because of what you are, but that dosn't have anything to do with the squid at all. *She stands, her voice raising slightly* And further more, this may be a good time to inform all of you of what Dumbledore is to announce at dinner tonight; No one is allowed in the lake with out a teacher or myself around to make sure nothing goes wrong! Punishable by detention for two weeks, and a night in the cells! And never contradict me! *her anger at being questioned on her knowladge is near the boiling piont as she herself dissapears swiftly.*
*He came downstairs walked passed Cho down to the Great Hall.*
did you hear? no one's allowed to the lake without a teacher/ginny! that's so not fair! how am i going to swim? i need to be in water everyday or i'll get sick! bath water can only do so much; i need lakewater!
*He turned around*Well i dont know how your goin to figure this out.If were getting in trouble im out.Ive been in enough of it.Or you could just have Ginny come with you.
*taken aback*ok ok grouch geez whats wrong with you *walked away, angry at the world and especially herself*
*He didnt know what to say he didnt mean to sound so mean.*
at dinner
*Before they began, Dumbledore made an announcement. "no one's allowed to the lake without a teacher, or Ginny present. Unless of course you are an animagus, though even then you would need a Protection Charm." He looked straight at her.* what did he mean? *she wondered to herself. she decided to go to the library straight after dinner*
*Was sitting at a table in the library looking up defense charms and a protection charm.*
A few minutes after dinner, Ginny walked up to Dumbledore, struggling to keep her temper with the old man. She talked to him in a low voice then growled in frustration. "Whatever." She said glaring at him. Then turned to the crowed. "An animagus who needs lakewater daily, follow me. I'm putting protection on you." She said, walking out into the hall.
*She did not hear Ginny's instructions, unfortunatly. she was already at the library. she trailed her finger along the spines of the many books on the shelf.*protection charm... *she muttered to herself. then a book caught her eye. It wasn't a protection charm book, but it's called: "Mysteries of the Deep". Curious, she took it and opened it. Immediatly, she was not in the library anymore, but in the Atlantic Ocean-a million years ago.*
Ginny froze in the hallway, and the few students behind her looked at each other."Oh no!" Giny whispered before she dissapeared to the library. She saw the book and groand. "d**n! I hate time travel too, I don't even know what centry. Now I have to do this the hard way. Non-psychihcs are not ment to time travel!" she yelled before closing her eyes and dissapearing once more, this time to another demension so she could find traces of who ever had left.
*He had tryed to say something to Ginny but it was too late she already disappeared.*Oh my God.Why am i always too late?
~Josh, you just had to try harder! Geeze!~ *she located the left behind particuls and frownd.*
*He hoped Ginny was still listening to his thoughts.So you know she opened a book?*
(Josh, when your thinking to me, use these thinging's ~, k?)
~Yes I do. I'm tied into all the psychic energy in Hogwarts. That book was supposed to be in the restricted section.~
(oh ok)
~ok do you want me to take it to a teacher?Or back to the restricted section?~
~Take it to the restricted section. Do not open it, Josh. You havn't time traveld, and I'd rather I was with you the first time.~
~Gotcha~*He went to the restricted section.Looked at it one more time and put it in a shelf.*
~Okay, now that thats done, you are coming with me.~ Josh felt his body dissapear and next thing he knew he was standing beside Ginny. She nodded to him, put her hand on his shoulder and opened a time portal. ~Ready?~
*meanwhile, she was exploring at the Medteranian Sea millions years ago. She felt like she's in the underground ocean in the book "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne. Primative weeds floated gently around her. She saw a undersea dinosaur-she forgot the name-swim by. It was eerily quiet. Then, she heard a soft chuckling behind her, and she knew she's about to see whoever brought her here.*
*Was looking a little shocked *Ready when you are.
~Don't worry about brething. Water is my element, so it bends to my will. Ok, here we go, little brother.~ Ginny closed her eyes and the time portal envoloped her and josh, and they landed in the ocean. Ginny whispered something to the water and they began to move.
*He looked around he thought it was so cool.*~So how do we find her?~
"like this." Josh could see a waver in the air, moving away from him. They slowed for a moment then speeded up, going fast.
*He smiled*This is si cool!
"Sometimes." She sucked in air, still angrey that someone didn't put the book where it belonged.
Ya know we have to search the whole ocean.
"Ya know that we don't have to because I know where she is. The water is taking us there, little brother."
Oh this is even cooler.*He looked at his sister.*
She knew he looked at her and she continued to stare stright ahead."If you want to say that."
*He looked ahead.*I think ive figured out my elementel power.
"And what is that, Josh?"
*He looked back at her*I think its earth.
She nodded. "Good."
*He looked ahead.*I just hope itll be a good use.*
"It will."
*He smiled wondering how long it would take them to find Cho*
(Josh, we're gonna have to wait for cho for this one)
(Ya hope she gets on soon lol)
(hi im back sry i went out of town this weekend ;D)
*she twirled around and saw a figure with a snake head and a sharks body. It was grotesque, but she requonized who it was- Aquaminius, the Dark Lord of the ocean. So it wasn't Voldemort after all, she thought, but his ocean equivilant. She had faced him before, though he likes to change shape of diffrent ocean animals in combos.
'You're on my turf now, Selena" said Aquaminius, calling her by her ocean name, baring his fangs.
"You didn't get me last time, and you never will. Your little squid trick failed" she said, braver than she felt.
"oh i don't think so, " he replied. "you're going to give me the Pearl or you won't like what's going to happen to you"
"I don't have it"
the last thing she saw was a dark greenish liquid shooting out of his fangs and she fell into blackness
The waves stopped and Ginny looked around agitated. "Show me what happened!" she commanded the water, which procceded to show her what had just happened. ~Cho, no matter if you are concious or not, I know you can hear me. I want you to wake and tell me where you are!~
*she woke groggily, in a dark chamber. she heard Ginny but she had no idea where she was. she felt so weak that she can't even move her arms. she couldn't see anything it was too dark. she smelt an sickly sweet odor that made her retch. she vomited all over herself but she can't wipe anything off. It was disgusting. flies landed on her but she can't slap them. she heard a soft chuckle and knew Aquaminius is watching her. The torture had began.*
Ginny was losing paitence fast and finally she swore. "I hate this! If we go back without her, Dumbledore will suspend me!"Ginny hit the surface of the water then closed her eyes, locationg Cho on her own.
I hate when something like this happens you can never find the person especially when your in the middle of the Atalantic Ocean!!
Ginny opened her eyes and smiled."C'mon Josh, we get to go diving!" She pulled his arm then snaped her fingers, now she wore a swimsuit and a spell flew over both of them. Now, not only could they breath underwater, the pressure wouldn't crush them. She dove down into the depths.
*He dived in after her.*
*had enough?" drawled Aquaminius
she suddenlt found she could move. she wiped off the volmit best she could. "i don't know why you want the Pearl. You can't even use it. Besides, i was telling the truth, i don't have it."
"of course you do. it's inside you. do you think i'm stupid, that i think the Pearl is something you carry in your pocket? I'mgoing to extract it from you eventually, but i just need to have some fun with you first."
she knew he's trying to weaken her spirit, so it would be easier to extract the Pearl. But that doesn't matter, she going to die anyway, when he does it. she grittes her teeth. i hope ginny finds me soon
"give me your best shot" she said to Aquaminius*
Ginny swam in cricles it seemed before she swam into a cave, swimming up.
*He followed her the whole time.*
They came to a shore inside the cave and came out of the water. Ginny snapped backinto her normal cloths and waited for Josh.
*He came up after her.*
"Come on." She walked further in, toward an ominous rock.
*He followed her.*Where we goin?
"To this guy's place. Where Cho is."
*He nodded his head slightly*
Ginny stopped before the rock and contemplated it for a mere moment before she forced it to open and walked through the new opening, following the dark, dank path for awhile before stopping andholding out her hand to stop Josh. She could hear the man speaking.
Aquaminius yawned. "this is getting tiresome. I think I'll extract that Pearl now. Then I'll rule the whole water world, Princess Selena." he bared his teeth in a grin. "this won't hurt a bit"
he waved his hands over her. She felt a terrible pain from her head to her toe. It was so terrible it hurts even more than a knife chopping her up. She wished she was dead. i'll get my wish soon she thought ironically. Aquaminius was laughing, it is a horrible sound. Blood gushed out of her every pores. she no longer felt the pain.
weak, so weak... in her cloudy vision,she saw The Pearl, a glowing ball, rising out of her.
"Stop!" Ginny jumped out from behind the cornor, pantherlike. She growled and the pearl froze in mid air.Ginny sent a quick heal to Cho. It was nothing like when harry healed, as her's only took enough pain away for Cho to see and think clearly. Ginny smirked at Aquaminius. "I don't think your goign to get that pearl." She opeaned her hand and the pearl zoomed into it and Ginny smirked once more as she closed her fingers around it.
*cho's vision became clear again. She heard Aquaminius growl angrily and leap at ginny. "quickly, give it to me!" she shouted with the remaining of her strength. "I can't survive much longer without it!"
Ginny ducked away from him and threw it to Cho, turning in time to get practically knocked over by Aquaminius. She held him off, using only pysichal strenght.
she caught in and started to mutter quickly the sacred words. the pearl begin to melt within her. Aquaminius couldnt move, but he muttered words, and a huge serpent appeared.
*He smiled *Ill take care of the serpent.*He changed into a wolf and chased the snake.*
Ginny slipped her foot behind his ankel and pulled, causing him to fall on his back. Ginny shifted her self so her knee landed in his stomach when they reached the ground. She held his wrists and she also murmmered something. His mouth closed immediatly, and he tried to continue speaking, but his lips held together like glue.
"Hurry up Cho!"
*He was barking crazily trying to scare the snake.*I cant stall him anymore hes not scared!*His voice echoed through the whole cave.
the pearl continues to melt and finally with a flash it's gone! she returned to normal. unfortunatly, there's still the problem of Aquaminius and his snake. Aquaminius shape changed to a shark and bit Ginny. The Snake tried to attack Josh. Cho closed her eyes and a huge whirlpool started to occur. she protected Ginny and Josh from it. her green hair spread like a fan around her head. she opened her blazing voilet eyes. Aquaminius and his snake started to vanish. 'I'll be back!' he cried.
'just like a really bad cartoon," Cho muttered. she went to see if Ginny and Josh were alright.
Ginny jumped up immediatly, conjured up a peice of cloth and wrapped it around her bleeding wound. It immediatly started to heal because of the magical healing properties she had installed on the cloth. She ran to her brother and helped him up.
*He stumbled back*Im okay.
*she smiled shyly* thank you
"No problem. We'll be fine." Ginny smiled at Cho then tightened her bandage. She smiled at her brother, proud of him and smiled at Cho, happy she had gotten the pearl back.
