*shad appeared on the train,a dark hood over his head* *he went into a compartment and shut the door*
"Hi." Ginny said, opeaning the door and leaning against it. She was looking at the list in her hand.
"What's your name so I can give you a scedual?" She asked.
Don't need one.*he kept his hood up,and didn't make eye contact with ginny*
"Listen, I don't have time to mess around. Tell me your name, or I'll take it from you." Ginny said. It didn't matter if he had been willing to make eye contact, since she was still looking at her paper.
Unless your going to make me appear on the list,I don't think it makes a diffrence if I give it to you....I go by "Shad".*he lowered his hood and glanced at ginny,a neutral look upon his face*
She sighed and snapped her fingers, making the paper dissapper.
"Alright then, Shad. What are you doing on this train?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips.
*shad couldn't help but smirk*Just here for business reasons.I can sense your quite powerful,and I'm not particularly in the mood for a fight.So,perhaps if I were to befriend you,you would let me stay on the train?
"Alright, for now. But you attack or attempt to harm any students or teachers, I'm going to harm you." She said. She didn't trust many people.
*shad just nodded...he didn't trust many either.At the moment,he was on the run from someone*I won't attack anyone unless provoked.*he stated,simply* *he rubbed his hands together.*D**n its cold. *he created a large glass orb and sat it on the floor* *he started a fire within the orb,rubbing his hands together*
"Yeah, it gets cold in England." Ginny said, pulling her sweatshirt tighter, then sighing.
"I have to get back to work. When I'm done, don't be surprised to find me walking around here."
*shad lowered his head slightly*I'm sure you will, ginny.
She nodded, her eyes narrowed slightly and walked out. She could tell he was gonna get on her nerves.
(Can we speed up time? lolz)
(yeah,but I g2g,lets continue 2morrow.)*shad was sleeping,looking quite innocent in his sleep a few hours later*
Ginny leaned against the closed door, now. She had appeared, not walked in. She stared at him, wondering who he really was then sighed. She'd have alot on her hands with this one.
*Shad yawned slightly,and jumped as he noticed ginny,having opened his eyes an inch*um,hello,Ginny,I think?*he sat up*And,Just so you know,Don't expect getting to much information out of me.*he layed his head back slightly*
Ginny ignored his last sentence.
"Yes, my name is Ginny. Ginerva Weasly, but you call me that and I'll hurt you so hard., you won't be able to walk." She said, calmly.
I had no intention of calling you that..*he stated,simply*So,what brings you back here?*he said,grinning slightly*
"I'm done with my job and there's nowhere to sit. Plus, I'm not sure about you." She said, shaking her head.
*shad raised a brow*Sure about me?Can you ever be sure about anything?What exactly is it you need to know about me?
"Your last name, your age, your wieght, the first time you fell of a bike." She smirked and took the seat across from him.
"Or, you could tell me what business brings you to Hogwarts."
hah.I'll tell you two,actually.I'm 18 and Its not so much business as it is evading danger.*he said,his head still layed back.*
"So your in danger? From whom?" Ginny asked, "Becuase if I won't lose my job by doing so, I'll help you."
If I told you I'd put you in danger.*he said*Lets just say,some people I'm fighting against aren't to happy with me.
"Fine. But if I knew, I could help you."
*he sighed*You are persistent,aren't you?fine...I'm known as "Shadow" in the muggle world.I'm a hacker...Not that a wizard would know what that means.
"Hacker?" Ginny's face showed slight confusion for a second, then she nodded.
"You mean with the computers?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.
*shad nodded his head*yes,I hacked into a goverment system...I found something out they didn't want me to.*he said,making it sound less complicated then it really was*
She laughed.
"Wow, nice job getting caught." The train started to slow and Ginny stood.
(I g2g,sorry...)*shad sighed*Its much more complicated then that.They're going to kill me....
"Simply genius." She said, laughing.
"Well, you should be safe at Hogwarts,"
(bye)
*he sighed...she clearly had no clue that he wasn't just some crazy kid hacking for fun.* *he looked at the castle*as nice as I've heard..*he headed toward the entrance...*
"Yeah, guess you could say that." She shrugged and walked inside as well, going to the Great Hall.
*shad yawned a bit and dissapeared*
"Hmm, why the hell he do that?" Ginny wondered outloud. She shrugged and walked into the Hall, sitting down.
"Hey Gin," Lavender said softly, appearing behind Ginny from a mob of wandering second years, kissing a bruised index finger.
In the form of a small kitten, she had been wandering tiredly the corridors. d**ned Peeves, found it to his amusement to drop a great sized vase upon her, crushing her, and more directly, her right paw. Her index finger felt awkward, still. She had cured the break, but the bruise wouldn't go away.
She smiled over to her friend, even after being jostled and nearly ran over by a few spooked second years; not angry, for they had looked even more scared, after a slight yelp of exasperation of hers, which had made her quite a bit more uncomfortable.
"Hey Lav, what's up?" Ginny asked, smiling.
"Oh, the same, really. You know."
Lavender shrugged a thin, but strong shoulder, tucking a strand of her raven hair behind her ear, wagging her finger back and forth.
"And I think Peeves might have really screwed up my finger.." she said as an afterthought.
Ginny shook her head, "Yet nother messed up part of you Lav." She smiled.
*shad reapearred in between them,not saying anything*
"Hey." She said to Shad. She grinned at both of them, putting her elbows on the table and her head in her hands.
*shad looked around*so,did you miss me?
"In your dreams." She said, rolling her eyes.
*he laughed*You know,Your just promoting a stereotype about red-heads.
"Which stereotype? I've heard a few." She laughed.
(Actually, I dye my hair strawberry blond, and it looks more red then blond and I've gotten a few comments about those stereotypes.)
Actually,I'm not familiar with any..I just talk sometimes(yeah,I wasn't really meaning that.I really was just rping.I really have no clue about "Red-head" stereo types,I actually haven't heard any.)
(I have, lolz)
"Wow, talk and talk and talk and maybe you'll shut yourself up."
Doubt it..My mom said I never stopped talki...*he stopped talking,and got a somber expression on his face,lowering his head*
"Your Mom?" Ginny asked, softly. She glanced at Lavander, then looked back at Shad.
nothing...nevermind.*he kept his head down,not looking at them*
(better wait for Lav.)
(okay,good idea..when did she get on the other night?just curious..)
(I don't remember, really.)
{{Thanks guys ^.- }}
Lavender scowled in Ginny's direction, and mumbled a short, "You're probably right," staring at her trembling finger with a detached amount of annoyance.
She listened to the conversation, her stomach aching, but not hungry, her body throbbing in a dull, almost numb sense. She seemed to listen a bit more intently, as the 'plot thickened'..
(No prob Lav)
"Alright. I won't press unless it becomes and issue. by the way, this is Lavander." Ginny said, nodding at Lav.
*shad saluted lavender*Hey.Nice to meet you.*he still seemed slightly depressed from bringing up his mother*
Lavender tilted her head in interest of the new male, and then winked, her dazzling green eyes amused in a detached sense.
"Greetings, Shad."
Lavender watched him with a gentle curiosity, as if without truly understanding, even, knowing, of his emotions..
Ginny smirked at the two and looked up at the head table without moving her head.
*shad smiled in lavenders direction*Have I seen you somewhere before?
Lavender frowned slightly, and again, tipped her head to the side, tapping her index finger {her uninjured index finger} to her full, smooth lips in thought.
"I don't recall..." she began, though she soon shrugged. "Perhaps. I have seen and tried to memorize many faces. I must get to know you again, however, if I had once known you."
(lol,interesting description of your lips?Oddly specific,lol)*shad nodded his head looking thoughtful*memory...The mental faculty of retaining and recalling past experience....*he shrugged*I don't know if you would want to get to know me...
"Why not?" Ginny asked, looking back at the two.
{{lolz, odd? I dunno. In real life, 'tis something I do, tap my lips, or bottom lip in thought, though sometimes I miss and hit my cheek, or nose, and lose my train of thought, thinking now that I'm a total dolt. Lmao. But Lavender is supposed to be mysterious and graceful. Not like me, lmao.}}
"You can be no worse than my worst enemy.."
Lavender shrugged, and picked up an apple, taking a bite, and leaning her elbows upon the table with a thoughtful expression, in her tired state, forgetting to finish her sentence..
(lol,well...thats pretty much what shad is,the oppisite of me.But he is a character of my book,so maybe there's a bit of me in him)*shad looked at her*wow,who the h***'s your enemy,Your beautiful and...I can tell your quite powerful,who would be foolish enough to get on you're bad side?
(Ginny's alot like me, lolz)
"I do sometimes,but I'm not her enemy." She grinned.
{{lolz, cool ^.^}}
Lavender had heard only a few times, from others, that she was beautiful. She didn't think it, in fact she disagreed, for other than being comfortable with herself, and being able to move with fluidness, she paid no attention. She didn't understand all the fuss with those certain people so obsessed with their looks. She could dress up nicely, and she could maintain decency, but her main focus was comfort, and movement. She didn't get it, and didn't know how to respond to that.
Lavender blinked at both Shad and Ginny, swallowing her apple piece, her many shaded green eyes revealing nothing, simply taking in and grasping all she needed, but letting out, not a thing.
"Myself. I am that way," she said after a moment, quietly, gravely. "I am my own, worst enemy."
"Arn't we all?" Ginny questioned, looking back at the head table as the first years were brought in.
"Probably.." Lavender agreed, taking another small bite of her apple, her eyes not once moving to the head table, watching instead, the solid outlines of her neighbors plate
Ginny sighed as McGonagll began the sorting. This stuff took to long.
*shad watched as others ate* *he sighed,remembering he forgot to take care of something,and dissapearing*(g2g)
{{okays. TTYL ^.- }}
Lavender finished her apple in the time it took to finish the sorting, and nearly the entire ceremony. Once it was finished, she rose from the table, and wandered off, finding herself in the Gryffindor common room later, curled up upon the chair closest to the fire. She rested her head upon her knees, her side slouched against the back of the chair, her being beneath a checkered blanket. She closed her eyes, and was soon, asleep.
Ginny was patrolling the halls, softly. Normally, the first night back was quiet, and she wanted it to stay that way.
*shad reappears in the gryffindor common room* *he glanced down at lavender*
Beneath the aged blanket, Lavender was utterly still. Her being was as calm and relaxed and drowsy as it had been when she was far off in true sleep. But as soon as Shad had arrived, her dazzling green eyes had flickered open. She glanced from him, to the dancing flames, wordless.
*he nodded his head in her direction*I didn't disturb you,did I?
"No," her fine lips murmured after a quiet moment.
She snuggled close into the plump chair, warmed by the blanket, and brisk fire, her temple shifting to set upon a different area of her knee, her pale hand tucking a stray strand of raven hair behind her ear.
"You did not bother me. No worries."
*shad sat on the floor,and practicaly passed out of exaustion*
Lavender peeked curiously over the side of the chair, a sharp eyebrow arched in interest.
"Are you alright?" she asked quizzically, resting her chin on the arm of the chair, turning to face that direction, to create a more comfortable position.
No,I'm fine,Really...Just...*he yawned,barely keeping his eyes open*a little tired...
Lavender smiled slightly. 'Just a little tired', usually meant drop-dead-exhaustion. A large, fluffy silk pillow appeared upon his lap, and a warm, smooth large blanket appeared, set over his shoulders. He was suddenly on the couch, just a little to his, and her, left, all excess books and quills and such suddenly gone, the cushions as soft and newer-looking. Lavender's face disappeared from the arm of the chair as she lay back, curling up in the chair, in the form, now, of a small black kitten.
*shad had fallen asleep a second after the blanket had fallen on him,after muttering something that faintly resembled a thankyou* *he woke up a few hours later*
Lavender had checked to see that Shad was still asleep every now and then for the hours after he had fallen asleep. When he awoke, she had already long-since aroused from her unsuccessful nest of sleep on the chair by the fire, returned to her human form, and was seated upon the gaping, open windowsill, her legs dangling over the side of the tower. Her hands were still, in her lap, and her head rested against the stone side of the sill, as she dozed in that most interesting, and dangerous of sleeping places.
*shad yawned and opened his eyes* *he jumped slightly*w-what?! *he looked around* (G2g)
Lavender did not react to his sudden discomfort. She continued to doze on the open windowsill, unaware, for once, lost in sleep.
"Well, one of you is awake." Ginny said, from where she sat against a wall. Since it was nearing morning, she should have been asleep, but she'd sleep later.
"I used to wonder why'd she sleep in the strangest places, it's a bit funny though."
Lavender mumbled incoherent mutters as she slept, her full lips moving to form unique words, perhaps not words at all, but sounds, as her thoughts drifted from one random thing, to another. She remained sleeping at her awkward place, oddly comfortable, for the moment, seemingly hearing nothing of the outer world..
*shad wiped his forehead*uh...yeah. *he got up and stretched a bit*
She looked at him and smiled.
"So what are you going to do today?" She asked, "It's not like you have any clasess."
*he flattened his hair a bit*I'm probably going to be plenty busy anyway....*he said,vaguely*
She smirked.
"If I find you messing around, I'll put you to work, so find something constructive." She said.
oh,Not here....*he yawned and stretched again*
"In the forest. I can fins plenty of jobs for you to do." She said, as the light grew stringer.
no...I mean,I won't be busy here...I'll be somewhere else.*he said,being vague again*
"Whatever." Ginny said, frowning and standing up. She streacher her arms and shrugged.
"I'm on breakfast duty." She said, walking through the portal.
Really?I'm on new-guy training duty...*he dissapeared*(g2g)
Ginny shrugged. She didn't know why, but Shad being vauge bugged her slightly.
*shad returned in a few hours,concequently,Next to ginny*
Ginny happened to be talking to a first year about not running, and Shad's sudden appearance stratled him. Ginny shot Shad a glance and sent the student back to class.
"Hi." She said.
hey.*he stretched a bit*
(Don't be surprised if I suddenly leave)
She started walking down the hall, glancing at the classrooms she passed.
*shad followed looking around with a slight curiusity in his eyes* (okay..)
{{I fixed that, no worries, Ron. Eijah, or whatever, please do NOT control anyone else's characters. Make your own, and Role Play with them. Do not try to move anybody else.}}
Lavender awoke in the common room, many hours later, slightly flustered and embarrassed that she had slept so long, but re-energized and, awake again, once more. She stretched, and yawned, still very tired, and leaned foreword, purposefully letting herself fall from the window, down, down, down, quickly toward the ever approaching earth so many feet below.
Her arms spread wide and loose, her eyes closed, she laughed, ever so softly, her being transforming at the very last second, to a finely formed black bird. She spread her wings and swooped upward, spiraling gaily, her soft, melodious song ringing through the still grounds. She swirled and dived, and went high up, then quickly down, dancing freely in the loose wind...
Ginny walked onto the grounds, catching site of Lavender. She knew it was Lavender only because of her free thoughts. She smiled slightly, then continued to walk.
*shad glanced at the bird and recognized it instantly*huh.Never seen a person who could transform into a bird...* he floated slightly,just above the grass*
Lavender danced and spiraled, and floated, her small, yet big wings sometimes spread wide, sometimes held close, as she fluttered across the ever-changing brisk skies. Over the middle of the lake, she spun at great speed, down, her wings tucked at her sides as she bulleted ever closer to the waters. Mere seconds before she fell into the waters, her form returned to her usual, and her fall slowed. It was soon, very soon after she had changed, that she plummeted into the bone-chilling waters, clad in a mere, black bikini.
Lavender did not surface, instead, she swam to the bottom, her eyes closed, as she let herself loose as she moved with the underwater currents, lost in thought of the random things, that consumed her mind...
"Lav can transform into many things. She's skilled in animagi magic." Ginny said, continuing on the path she was walking.
Oh...*he put his hands on the back of his head*
Ginny glanced back.
"You like to say 'oh' alot."
*he shrugged*I guess...Sometimes I have nothing better to say.
Ginny rolled her eyes, "Then why say anything."
*he shrugged again,looking perplexed by her attitude*You sure are sarcastic.
"I know. It's how I get by without hurting people."
huh.Thats how some do it....*he yawned a bit*...*he thought for a moment about a mission he had to help **** through*
"I guess." Ginny shrugged, then stopped and turned on the path.
"Are you so bored your following me?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. It was true, he was walking behind her, and had been for several moments.
No,I'm just...Interested.Since you seem to think I don't do anything worth while,I'm just curious to see what you do.*he blinked for a moment*
She rolled her eyes and turned, walking down the path into the forest.
Shad smiled,following*
Ginny stopped at the forest edge and put her fingers in her mouth, whistling loudly to her wolf. Moonlight came bounding out, and slowed, comming to a stop at her feet. He stared at Shad with his yellow eyes, but made no move at all.
(Right to enter,please,lol)*shad looked down at the wolf,his eyes calm*
(Rephrase that?)
Ginny patted his head, to tell him it was alright, she knew Shad was there. The wolf took the hint from Ginny, and then ignored Shad, turning. Her put his front paws on Ginny's legs and looked up at her. She nodded.
"Ok, I'll do a check up oon her." Ginny's voice was low, almost a whisper.
*shad just listened,he wasn't the type to ask quetsions.* (I mean,right to enter the forest.Nevermind.)
Moonlight put his paws on the ground and nodded, walking on the path. Ginny glanced at Shad.
"Follow, if you must, but don't get lost. Today is the packs day off, and no one will be able to save you." She said, walking after the wolf.
"Especially if Ginny gets in the right mind to murder you. Then, you are what many say, 'screwed'."
Lavender dropped gracefully to her feet behind the two, ending her soundless dancing about in the treetops. Now out of her black bikini, she wore her PJ's; black and red checkered shorts, and a black tanktop. She did not feel the cold, or the rough earth beneath her bare feet - Lavender in originality, was just, as she was. Lavender was complex, yet simple.
Ginny smiled, genuionly, for Lavender had that effect on her. She laughed slightly,
"No, if I want to murder him, I'd do it out of the forest so I didn't have to clean the mess." She laughed again, then lost her smile, still walking after Moonlight.
*shad remained quite neutral*....this forest is beautiful...
"Yeah, it is. It (I had I, lolz) used to be more so, but students are normally allowed in this part as long as the wolves are on duty."
*shad nodded thoughtfully-*
Ginny turned off the trail. (I'm going to assume Lav is following us, is that okay lav??) She walked, climbing over dead tress and such till they neared a rocky area.
{{Yup, lolz. I'm following, I swear :P ^.-}}
In a light mood, tiredness and bitterness hovering away from Lavender's temperament of the moment, Lavender followed, as she walked, her form changing to a small, black kitten. She clawed her way up a random tree, and catching up, she leaped from a thin bough to Shad's shoulder. There she settled her tiny paws. Wobbling at each of his movements, maybe, but she felt brief relief of her own strained muscles.
Ginny glanced back.
"Wow, such a smart kitty, Lav. Your lucky none of the wolves want to eat you." She said, stepping into a clearing. All around were the opeanings of caves, laying around, rolling on the ground around, and sleeping by the caves were wolves.
Lavender hissed, and in an attempt to stuck out her tongue at Ginny, she slipped, and fell, landing flat onto her bottom. She returned to her normal form, and frowned, successfully sticking her tongue out at Ginny this time, folding her arms in a pout.
Ginny smirked at Lavender.
"So graceful."
"Meany."
Lavender mumbled, and stood, brushing herself off..
Ginny smirked again then walked to one of the cave.
"You two stay here, I'll be right back." She said, disspappearing into the cave before they could argue.
*shad stayed put,yawning a bit*
Ginny came out a moment later and smiled at Moonlight who had waited outside with Lav and Shad.
*shad glanced at ginny*so,what you been up to?
"I had to check up on a wolf that was sick." Ginny said, not looking at him.
"Come on, I need to check on the prisoners."
*shad followed,looking interested*
(Once again, assuming Lav is following)
Ginny walked back into the dense trees.
(Assumed ;) ) *shad followed,looking quite cozy,having hidded out in several forests before,magical-and non.*
(........Okay,every one's done?I guess...Ouch. :-X)
(waiting for Lav)
(who isn't going to reply....oh well,I guess I've been done here for a while now.)
