Darkness enveloped the forest. There was a sliver of moon, and dark clouds covered the stars. Most of the lights in the school were off, indicating it was way after curfew. Now and again, when the clouds weren't blocking it, moonlight shone on a lone figure in one of the trees.
Ginny's bright red hair, pulled into a loose ponytail, shone like fire in the pale light. Her eyes, normally bright and full of life were shadowed by something. Anxiety maybe. She was crouched on a sturdy tree limb, with one hand touching the thick trunk of the tree to steady her. Her long sleeved black shirt, along with her black pants made her look Gothic.
Ginny's eyes swept along what she could see of the grounds. She wasn't just doing a visual sweep, but also a mind sweep. Not to mention, the occasional animal in the forest might be an ally of hers. It seemed that with Ginny and her friends around, getting to the school would be hard work for intruders. But that didn't set Ginny's mind at ease.
The moonlight left again, and now only those with a light, or night vison could see with thier eyes. Ginny used her mind to see. She kept the power low and no one would see her or notice her even if they walked right under her. It was as though Ginny wasn't there.
((ok, are you a mod or a M.O.M.?? In two different posts I see you a mod and a M.O.M..... :-X ))
(I want to join just tell me how though.)
((I won't tell you how, that's part of the game! I'm the forest board moderator and a m.o.m))
((And I'm deleting the non RP posts in a couple minutes))
Sarah was sitting next to a tree drawling on her pad. It was one of a lake with the mermaids sitting on the top of the lake.
"Well this looks great." Sarah then saw something in the shadows but was not sure what it was. "Well I better stay quiet."
Sarah then stood and looked at the person there.
(It is you ginny but Sarah is not sure about it.)
((I know, kiddo.))
Ginny focused on Sarah, instantly knowing who it was. She didn't say anything, but watched. The clouds uncovered the moon once more, shining slightly. She looked past Sarah, at the lake. It glimmered, creepily. But not magically. Ginny was apprehensive about Sarah being out here.
What would she do if her feelings proved true on this dark night? She had to fight off any intruders, possibly killing them. She doubted that Sarah would come out of this without nightmares. Standing with ease, she jumped out of the tree, landing on the grass without noise. Softly she walked towards Sarah, with the intent to send her inside.
Sarah smiled as finished her picture. Sarah then looked and drew the moon sitting on the lake with her, Cho, and siruis all sitting there.
"Well this is great." Sarah siad as she got up and headed to the lake. She then started to touch the water with her hands and moved it.
"I think I will walk for a little bit." Sarah then looked back but did not see anyone so she took off her shoes and socks. She then walked ankle high and started to walk in the water and finish her picture.
(Oh sorry there. I will keep going though)
"You know...the school is the only safe place at night...." Ginny's voice was soft, not to avoid startling Sarah, but to avoid being heard by others. She stood, looking at Sarah, with her arms at her sides, limply. She seemed very tired, and was. In fact, she was exhausted. She taugh by day and guarded by night. Not to metnion, she hadn't seen Xaver around recently, and although that was normal it still worried her.
Wind whipped through the trees, causing loose strands of her hair to float in front of her face. Even as exhausted as she was, she still looked slightly imposing.
"Ya I know but I just felt weird tonight." Sarah siad as she turned to face her teacher.
"Don't ask me why but i just had this feeling that said that I needed to go to the lake and draw what I felt."
Sarah did not relize that she drew a picture with a stange figure there getting ready to attack in the backgound of her pictures she was not sure who it was though.
Ginny looked at her and opened her mouth to answer. She was going to ask her to go inside. She was going to tell her to lock her dorm doors. She was going to tell her to go to sleep. But she never got the words out. For once, Ginny was caught off guard. A beam of light zapped into her arm, along with the cry for the crucio curse.
"Oh..."Ginny said, before closing her mouth as she went down on her knees, pain evident in her eyes. Other then that, however, she didn't cry in pain. She was on her feet in no time holding her left arm and breathing haggardly.
"Sarah, get down, onto the bank, now!" She yelled, reaching for her own wand.
"Okay." Sarah siad when she got to the shore and went to a tree.
"Ginny what is going on." Sarah siad as she had her wand ready.
(want to say that they are trying to get Sarah but we get rid of them some how)
Ginny growled and crouched down as several people crowded around her. Someone grabbed Sarah and pushed her towards Ginny. Ginny hissed at the people. They snatched her wantd and snapped it in half, doing the same to Sarah's.
"What do you want?" Ginny snarled.
"Something to bargin with." One of the cloaked men growled back, reaching for Sarah's arm. Ginny reached out and slapped his hand.
"Didn't your mama teach you it's not nice to grab people?" She asked, a sarcastic tone in her body.
((You'll see what happens))
"Ginny what is going on. I promise I will stay in my dorm if your doing this as a joke." Sarah siad starting to get ready.
*Well lets see maybe I can help by useing my powers* So Sarah start to think of how to do this.
"Ginny I mean it what is going on."
"Shut up." She hissed. Ginny had known this would happen. She could kill them all in just a few moment, but she didn't want Sarah to see that.
"Just do as they say..."She muttered, softly, for only Sarah to hear. Unfortunatly, one of the men heard her.
"Be on guard, everyone. The mighty Ginny Weasly is giving in! She's got a trick up her sleeve." He said, knowingly.
Ginny smirked. "And you would just love to know it. We'll go with you...on one condition. You keep your hands and minds off of the kid." Ginny said, angrily.
"Ginny what is going on." Sarah siad trying to close her eyes and clear her mind so no one could get in it.
*Breathe sarah. Breathe* Sarah then started to breathe and draw what ever came to her mind.
One of the men nodded, slightly.
"Fine." He said, darkly. Two men took hold of Ginny's arms and one poked Sarah with his wand.
"Get moving." They said.
Ginny didn't struggle, but she wasn't beat. She was waiting to kill them when Sarah wouldn't see. So Sarah wouldn't be like her. So Sarah wouldn't think killing was normal to be powerful.
The men pushed the girls towards the forest, being careful to keep an eye on each other them.
~Sarah, just stay calm. Don't worry, we'll be out of here in no time.~ Ginny sent to her, telepathically.
*Ginny what you need me to do* Sarah siad asshe sent a message back. Sarah kept walking as to not get hurt.
*Sorry I came out here*
Cho was walking around as she couldn't fall asleep and saw several people walking by the lake. Cho thought she saw Ginny so she sent her a quick message*Ginny where are you now?*
~Cho, stay back. Sarah, when I give the word, I want you and Cho to run into the school. And don't look back.~ Ginny's words were clear and she knew the girls would do as she said.
"What's going on in that ugly little head of yours?" One of the men said, poking Ginny in the side.
"Ah, shove off, dumb butt!" She snapped back, suddenly calm again.
*Ginny I will just tell me when and I will try*
"Hey leave here alone and let us go. please let us go."

((LOL, dumb butt, nice one....LOL))
*Ok...then, but- never mind, I'll listen to you.*
((Haha, you should see me insult people in real life. You'd think I was in the first grade instead of high school))
"Leave her alone." Mocked one of the men. The rest laughed, and Ginny took that moment.
"RUN!" She yelled, punching the man in Sarah's way in the chest. He fell to his knees and coughed, blood spilling from his mouth onto the grass. Ginny gave Sarah and Cho nice long looks, her last telepathic words ringing through their minds. 'Don't look back.'
She hoped for their sake they wouldn't.
In moments Sarah and Cho were in their rooms the doors dead bolted behind them.
"You can thank me later." Lavy said and then reappred in a tree above Ginny. If she needed help, Lavy was ready, but from the looks of things Ginny was fine. She watched on with little intrest. Now Lavy understood what Ginny was saying about her not wanting Sarah to see her kill people. It would screw her for life, just like Lavy.
Ginny knew Lavy was there, but the girl had already seen death before, so she didn't mind. With the girls gone, and safe, Ginny was in control. Three of the men were felled by her fists alone. She didn't need magic, or telekinesis. She knew just the places to hit if you wanted to kill. These men died painlessly, compared to the rest.
Ginny wasn't, by nature, a killer. But when you have to kill or be killed, you learn fast and well. Ginny moved with calm anger. She flicked her hands at the other men, suspending them in mid-air.
"This is why you were warned not to come onto school property." She muttered, holding her closed fist in front of her. She opened her fingers, one by one, and as she did parts of the mens bodys would impload. Mayb e an arm, or a leg, or just a finger. When all five fingers were raised and Ginny seemed to be looking at her palm, the men were dropped, and with no legs or arms to catch themselves, they broke their necks.
"Now I have a mess to clean up..." Ginny said, softly.
((......I didn't know you would literally kill them.... ::) :P ))
Sarah was back inside but kept staring at the picture that she had drew before they were caught.
*Ginny what is going on. I need to know or you can't keep stoping me. What if they come back* Sarah siad as she sent a message to her teacher.
*I have so many Questions who are they. Why were they after us.* Sarah said in her thoughts but she did not know they were open for people to hear.
"Oh I can help you there." Lavy waved her hand and everything was gone, all traces of bodies and blood.
Sarah then sat down on her bed in the commom room and stared at the picture just wishing she could figure out or someone could tell here what was going on.
"Thanks."Ginny said, still speaking softly. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. "Come on, let's go talk to the girls...." She said, dissappearing. She reappeared in Sarah and Cho's room.
"hey kiddies."
"oh hi what in the world is going on. Who were they." Sarah siad scared.
Hey Ginny,Hey Lavy. Who was with you? I'm more confused than Sarah...LOL. ::)
Sarah nat confused she was just scared why were they after her and things like that.
Lavy sat down on a bed next to Sarah and Cho. "I;m trying to think of the best way of telling you with completely freaking you out. I don't know." Lavy said with an irritated sigh. "Maybe Ginny can do it better. I'm not use to trying to explain things to people because usually the people who need to be explained to are already dead."
"Wel okay I'm listening start explaining." Sarah siad looking at them.
"Those guys were part of one of the many smaller groups that want to overthrow our government. We all know about Voldemort, and sadly, no one teaches you about these other groups. They came to the school because we are the only wizarding school in Britain, so if we are destroyed, all our students that is, then who's next to run the country. Their leader would have risen and pretended to be greatly saddened by this and would have offered to take care of everything. It's the same trick old Hitler used in Germany to gain compleat dictatorial power."
Even though she said alot, her voice remained soft and steady. She didn't cry for the men she had killed.
"I see now." Cho said still alittle worried.
"Oh so your trying to say that we are safe no matter where we go." Sarah siad getting even more upset and starting to get mad. "I don't like this at all."
"You we're never really that safe to begin with unless you were inside these walls." Lavy said. She looked over at Ginny. Ginny looked very worn out and this saddened her that her friend didn't have much help.
"Ginny," she said softly and casually, although what she was about to say was far from casual. " Would you like Neo and I too take care of the rest of them? We'll gladly take over what's left."
Lavy didn't want to scare the other two. She hated it when people knew what she could do to other human beings. Horrible things. Things that would keep any sane person up at night.
"I think I want to go home. At least there with my muggle family they might not find me because I will live like one." Sarah siad as she start to go around an pack her bags.
"I don't feel safe in this room. I love to walk outside. I will go crazy if I can't walk the forest and lake at night. What ya don't know is that I've been sneaking out for like the past 4 weeks." Sarah siad as she started to get worried.
"how do we know that they we stay outside the castle and not come in. We don't."
Lavy sighed. She hated this part of the conversations. "You can't go back to your family. You'll get them killed. Trust me I know. I've seen it a million times. Some poor sap thinks they can hide out until the coast is clear. They stop paying attention to what's going on around them and before you know it they're looking at their mother dead in a ditch. Do you really want to put others in danger like that?"
Lavy didn't even wait for an answer.
"And beside, we do know for a fact that they wont come inside. I know you didn't see what Ginny did tonight, but that's not even close to when she really mad. Oh and I'm not really all that nice when I'm pissed, also."
"Nope your not going anywhere kid, and if you try we'll bring you right back. We ourselves can't let you risk the lives of thousands of muggles cause you don't want to be here. So your staying."
"Oh so you can keep me hostage here now." Sarah siad sitting down mad.
"But what about this summer what are you going to then. What if I decided not to come back what then." Sarah siad she was so mad that she just wanted to go some where.
"I hate this why in world have to happen it is not fair. I did nothing wrong and now I'm being coop up." Sarah then started to cry she was scared and that is why she was mad. So she pulled her legs to her chest and cried.
"No, you are being cooped up after curfew. During the summer, we disguise the homes of muggle-born students. The charm only lasts so long, and you still need taught magic. If you'd rather not come back after summer, that's your choice. But be warned, you are putting your family and friends in alot of danger." Ginny said, her voice calm, steady, and soft.
"This castle has more charms, spells, and hexes than you could imagine. Not to mention protective barriers not even the most imaginiative mind can see." She sighed and shook her head, "You don't understand, Sarah. These things happen. We are fighting a war."
Now she turned to Lavy and a bit of emotion showed through. "No. I don't want you or Neo to get the rest. It's not your job, and it's not Neo's. Besides, I'm going straight to the source on this one. I;ve had enough of this particular group as of tonight." She was slightly pissed.
Lavy nodded to Ginny. "I understand." she said simply.
"Fine I promise to not go out but can I aleast go to the libary." Sarah siad as she started to drawl a girl standing at a door but not able to go out. Then she started to drawl the back greound the girl was standing on the dark side and the other was good and she knew know way of getting to the other side.
"I hate being a witch. Why was I picked all I do is run in to trouble I want to help get rid of them. Please." Sarah siad looking at Ginny.
"You can let me help some how or I could be the witch that drives everone crazy." Sarah siad looking at them wanting to know a way to help. *If I don't get to I'm running away later when they don't know it*
Ginny suddenly looked pained.
"Don't think that." She said softly. "Please don't run away. Truth is, if you do, you'll die. I can't let you help. If I do, you'll see the kind of things that will never leave you. You'll never sleep a full night after that."
"Please Ginny let me help. What you don't know Is I'm already not going to sleep good knowing that people are after me." Sarah said as she looked At Ginny serious.
"I mean who would after being taken away and then locked in a room and told that there is nothing they can do." Sarah then tried to think of a way to help.
"I mean come one if I feel stuck here and being like I was held hostage and can do what I want. Why are they better then you. I mean they want to kill me and you want to treat me like a caged monkey." Sarah then felt dad about what she said but it was true.
"So See this is me the girl standing with the evil but just wants to get away." Sarah then showed Ginny the picture before turning her back to them and crying. She was scared, mad, and upset with Ginny and everyone else all at the time and she did not want them to see it.
Ginny looked at her for a moment.
"Sarah, you have no idea. They arn't just after you. They are after anyone they can be. Anyone we deem valuable enough. As a student, as a living person, you are valuable enough to the good side." She shook her head, slowly and sadly.
"You don't know what getting mixed up in this is going to do to you. You think being locked up in a room at night is going to drive you crazy? Try being locked in a f*cking crawl space for several months! Try having your body and mind tortured, painfully, and slowly. Try having the people you love dissappear, or even die in front of you! You don't know what crazy is!" She broke out of her trance-like state and yelled her last few statments. She was upset, but not just angry. A single tear slid down her cheek, and was barly noticable.
"Sadly, you will grow up, but enjoy being left in the dark for now. Because once you see how horrible the world really is, your going to wish you could have stayed in that darkness forever."
"Fine Because I know I won't be able to fight you I will stop for tonight." Sarah said turning to face her.
"I'm going to shower soon and then come one day. I will not be left in the Dark. I have always been in the dark and well I don't want to know more." Sarah siad as she let tears fall down her face.
Ginny looked at her for a moment.
"Sadly, your right." She turned and left the room, by way of the door, and walked slowly. She was sleepy, but she knew she wouldn't sleep tonight. Too much work, too much worrying, too much insomnia.
If they wanted a definition of over-worked, all they had to do was discribe Ginny.
((Yes, I am skipping ahead to the next night and yes, they are sending another group))
Ginny walked slowly around the grounds, for she knew another gaggle of guys would appear sometime tonight, hoping to catch some student disobaying curfew. She was ready to go straight to the source with these guys. The leader had no clue that his men would lead her to him, and neither did the men.
Tonight she wore jeanes and a dark red hooded sweatshirt. Her hair was down, and blew softly once and a while when the wind blew. She yawned after compleating her third lap and sat down on the steps leading into the school.
(did you get my message for the idea or not I need to know so I know what to write.)
Lavy's soft steps could be heard coming down the staris. She sat a few steps above Ginny, looking out over the grounds. "Peaceful." she said leaning back so that her elbows proped her up.
((Sorry I was reading your posts and Ginny it's you're not your...sorry, but I hate it when people make a mistake like that.))
Hey Sarah, calm down, the world is cruel and this place is safe. GInny and Lavy are just saying that it's not that sae to be alone outside of these walls. If you want to go to the lake or forest, you can always bring me. ;D
"Oh okay thanks Cho but i don't think it would be that fun."
Well our lives aren't in jeopardy so I don't care about fun....LOL
"well I want to thank you Cho for being a great friend but I think I will stay here and drawl." Sarah siad as she drew her alone by the lake at night with no one evil there.
((First off, Cho, if you want to get picky, don't do it with me. You ain't perfect with your spelling or grammar, and I hate when people correct a few mistakes that I occasionally make. When you can post perfectly, then I might take the time to listen to you. Secondly, yes, Sarah, I got your message.))
"For now." Ginny said to Lavy softly. She looked up, and tonight the stars could be seen. There were so many of them tonight, one could hardly see the constellations.
(well do you think we should use the idea or not I'm asking because it seems that is how i will post later)
((Yes, why else would I have fast-forwarded??))
Sarah had waiting until the next night when everyone was asleep to sneek out.
"Okay now where can they be." Sarah siad as she put in her cloak over her head and started to walk around she hoped to find someone.
She was walking when she ran into some people she did not know from school.
"Hi there guys do you think that I could join you guys please." Sarah wanted to be away from the school.
((Am I the only one lost....sorry Ginny, everyone in my school says I'm a picky person too....LOL))
((Yes, your the only one...))
Ginny had nodded off, her head on her knees and had slept. She didn't know for how long and she jumped awake. She immediatly sensed the groups arrival and transported to where they where. She was only half surprised to see Sarah.
"Recruiting? Got news for you guys, that's not allowed." Without waiting for an answer she held up her hand, her fingers pointing towards one of the men. A burst of blue power shot from her, hitting him in the chest and killing him instantly.
"Ginny leave me alone okay." Sarah siad trying to them.
"I asked if I could join maybe if I did I would not have to worry about having to do things I don't want." Sarah siad as she stood there next to all the men people she was going to join.
"I am going to join and you can not stop me." Sarah was mad that she was caught.
Ginny looked at her, long. The men were silent and then one laughed. He smiled, icily.
"See, Weasly? She's like you in strange ways." He said.
Ginny folded her arms and rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She turned to Sarah. "Just so you know. You join them, and you'll die like them. Nothing personal, but anyone who takes a vow to hurt students is going to be killed. By me."
Sarah looked down at the ground she was so confused on what to do.
"I know you right. I'm not going to join them. But I'm not going to go back inside like a good little girl." Sarah siad as she let her cloak off her head.
"I tried to listen to what you said but Ginny it don't work. I'm not like the other students and you know it." Sarah then sat down where she stood.
"I tried to be but it won't work I can help you or not, but I will not go back to that school till I'm ready." Sarah stood there she wanted to join them but how could she. Sarah did not want to die yet.
"Fine. But you won't sleep for a long time after this."
Ginny's words were the last thing she said for several minutes. As then men chose that moment to attack, and Ginny didn't even move. The men were a few steps away when a howl was heard, stopping them in thier tracks. Ginny grinned, evily, he teeth showing.
She gave them a little wave as a big, gray, furry...thing, jumped on some of the men, ripping them to pieces with it's teeth. Blood was everywhere. The other men continued to advance on Ginny, and she still didn't move. One leaped forward to grab her, and Ginny moved faster than the eyes can follow, seeming to appear behind him and twisting his arm until a loud pop was heard and he fell to his knees in pain.
Sarah stood there not able to move.
"wow I did not know you could do that." Sarah siad standing there. She almost died like the rest of them.
"I'm sorry Ginny it is just I hate being treated like a little girl. I can sort of take care of it myself. Hey if you would have waiting I might have been able to tell you where their boss was."
"This one's still alive." She nudged the one who's arm she had snapped out of place. He was on the ground, crying from pain, but she ignored him.
"Come here." She told Sarah.
"Okay." Sarah siad walking over to Ginny She was not sure if she should though.
"Ginny what did you need. I can help I promise." Sarah was now right next to her.
(man i guess i should come her more often i'm always so far behind, lol)
Lavy appeared in front of the man. She snapped her fingers very impatiently. "Man, I always miss the fun."
Cho rushed out to see several men lying dead in their own pools of blood. Cho managed to stammer,"Umm...what happened?....."
Ginny's irritation grew, and she grasped Cho's and Sarah's arms, making them link hand. She held onto Sarah's hand and grabbed the man's wrist. She nodded at Lavy, telling her without thought or words that she didn't mind if she came along. Then they dissappeared from the school.
They reappeared in front of some kind of office building and Ginny made the man stay up.
"You, take us to the big guy." She told him, twisting his arm to cause him more pain so he wouldn't talk back. She glanced at Sarah and Cho.
"Stay close, you two."
Cho nodded her head still confused and closely followed Ginny.
((Harsh.....))
*Well Cho you missed a lot. I almost witch sides. Well this person is showing us how to get to their boss* Sarah siad wishing that she was more a help then a person in the way.
"You're not in the way. From this point on, you're learning how to deal with these kind of people." Ginny said, gruffly, pushing the man ahead of her as he whimpered. Having your arm popped out of the socket hurts like hell, and Ginny was making it worse.
The man led them in the building and through several hallways, and up two staircases. He stopped in front of a doorway and motioned his head. He bit on his lip as Ginny pushed him away from her and opeaned the door.
The man landed in Lavy's arms and she gave him a hard look and sent him something that made him start to shake his head in fear. She let him fall the rest of the way to the stone floor and stepped over him.
"Bi*ch." he whispered.
Lavy just smiled. Not like she hadn't been called worse things. She pushed Cho and Sarah forward so that she brought up the rear. "Come on you two, let's not let this take all night. These people are not our only problem we need to deal with."
Cho followed Ginny.
"well I'm not sure I don't think I want to do this now." Sarah siad trying to back up and get away.
"Well I'm reallly want to leave please."
Cho asked her worriedly,"What happened Sarah?"
"Well nothing I want to talk about. I don't want to see it any more either." Sarah siad trying to esacape from them.
"Sarah it's safer with other people." Cho said still confused.
"No, you wanted to come. you can't back out now. It's too late for that." Lavy gently pushed them both forward. The door slammed and locked behind the four of them.
"Can't you be a little more origanal then locking a door behind us?" Lavy asked, annoyed at the people in the room with them
"Um Lavy who are they?" Cho said looking around at the people in the room.
"Ya Lavy who are they." Sarah siad as she decided to stay but nevous.
Cho was getting frightened by the atmosphere in the room, a deadly atmosphere.
((Sorry, guys. Been hanging out with my boyfriend.))
"What do we owe this pleasure? Two young ladies and the lovely Ms. Brown. And oh! What a sweet surprise. Ms. Sulai herself. Oh, I'm sorry, you went back to your maiden name, I believe. What was it again?" A voice said. The way the lights were, none of the people's faces could be seen.
Ginny scowled at the mention of her ex-husbands last name. "Weasly."
((LOL))
Cho stilled looked confused looking around at the dark room.
((Well, school was out on Friday, so I stayed at his house, then he stayed at my house, and then we went to his house again. Tuesday, we both have finals, in the afternoon, so he's trying to borrow one of his parents cars for that. There ya go, now you know something about me!!))
"We didn't come to chat, Duncan." Ginny said, still scowling. She had already been in a sour mood, and the fact that this creep remembered Conan made her mood worse. Because if he remembered Conan, he knew of the divorce.
"No, of course not." Duncan's voice said with a sigh. He seemed to want to chat very much. Duncan shifted forward, allowing them to see his face, even if it was shadowy. He looked like anyone they could walk past in the street. Perfectly average, andtherefore, hard to describe and remember.
((Don't ask about the name. My brother insists he's going to name his first born son that, and it kinda stuck.))
((yep you and your bf go to each others houses alot....LOL))
Cho asked softly to Ginny with a more puzzled look on her face,"Who the heck is Duncan?"
"Ya I think I'm out of here." Sarah siad as she walked to the door.
"I'll see you guys outside."
Cho tugged on her shirt and said,"Sarah, you can't go outside, these people whoever they are might not let you, it's safer here."
"Stay here, if you want to live, Sarah." Ginny instructed, in a no-nonsense tone. She glared at Duncan.
"Why are you attacking the school?" She asked him, her voice even, with a hint of malic behind it.
Cho just looked forward and watched as Ginny communicated with these--people...
"OKay I will." Sarah siad standing there waiting for someone to tell her what she needed to do.
Cho stood there patiently but still a bit afraid.
"Why do you think?" Duncan asked, trying to play mind games. Poor fool, for him to try this was like a mouse trying to win against a giant cat. That only happens in cartoons.
"Puh-lease!" Ginny spat. "You did it because you want to recruit students, idiot!"
Duncan looked surprised, "That's right...."
"Of course it's right."
"Well I think that this is not fun no more." Sarah siad sitting down on the ground.
"I just want to go back."
Duncan and Ginny both looked at Sarah with raised eyebrows. Duncan grinned and stood. He came around, into the light and walked to Sarah.
"You are the student who wanted to join, right?" He asked, kneeling so his face was level with her's. Ginny smirked, she had been aboput to snap at this guy, but if Sarah was willing, she was going to let Duncan play.
"well ya but I'm not so sure now." Sarah said getting a little worried.
"I don't want to fight and die."
Bbut to fight and die for something so dear to you is an honor!" Duncan said.
"Yeah, but you don't see him out there risking his life, do ya?" Ginny said, passivly. She smiled, toothily at Duncan as he shot her a quick glare.
"Well I'm not sure what I want now." Sarah siad she was so confused.
"I just want to help and not feel like I'm locked up like a caged animal." Sarah siad to Duncan since he was asking.
"But you can't help if you don't know what you are doing." Ginny pointed out. Duncan realized suddenly how exposed he was. Ginny grinned as he seemed to go stiff and he said nothing. He didn't appear to be breathing.
"I'm willing to teach you guys, but you have to do what I say, when I say it." She told the younger girls.
"Well When you going to teach us." Sarah siad as she walked away from Ginny.
"Your always busy with Xaver or something esle. I hate being locked up but you don't care." Sarah siad getting mad so lost on what to do.
Ginny shook her head.
"Ever realize that I'm always busy saving someone's butt?" She said, angrily. "Not to be egotistical, but without me, the others would be overworked and the school would collapse. The last safe place would be gone."
With a wave of her hand, Duncan and his friends collapsed, all brain dead.
"I'm a busy person, and you are still a kid. I live in a world where murder is the norm, and peace is a scary thing. I hesitate to bring you into that world." Ginny seethed, she was getting angry. As she walked around, vanishing the bodies of the brain dead, she scowled.
"I don't tell you to hide because I think you can't take care of yourselves. Hell, I've taught you most of everything you know. But I'm burdened by many things, and I don't want to wish such things on you guys yet."
"Fine I get it I'm sorry." Sarah siad dropping to the floor.
"I so stupid I try to help be I can't I'm just a nobody mudblood." Sarah siad talking to her self in a mean way.
"Would I waste time teaching you if you were a nobody?" Ginny snapped, still angry. "No, I wouldn't. You are going to be a great witch, you just need to wait."
"We just want to protect you while your still young. We don't want you put into a world were your always killing someone. Don't feel bad that the vote is against you. I wish someone would have been there to stop me from jumping head first into this mess."
"We'll teach you as much as we can in the time we have left with you. Your getting older now and we can't always be there to stop whatever's coming to you. so you'll get you're chance, soon. To soon maybe." Lavy added with a grim expression. She knew what was coming to them all.
"Oh okay fine you do that. But what is to say that i will not make the wrong chooses later in life." Sarah siad.
"I guess I'll wait."
Lavy actually laughed. "Do you really think that Ginny and I got here, by making a right chocies in our life? Not bloody likley; we got here, alive, by the grace of God. You're never going to know if you've made the wrong choice until it's too late. It's what you do after you see what you've done that matters. Don't be to worried about making the wrong choice in the future, When it comes it comes, and that's when you deal with it."
Lavy sighed. "Well those are my words of wisdom. Shell we get out of here?"
Cho looked back and forth at the heated discussion between teh three of them aparently still lost in the conversation. She heard words echoing in her mind and quickly replied,"Let's get out of here....please?"
"Yeah. I need some sleep." Ginny said, turning and pushing them out the door. No one bothered them on their way out the building.
Cho simply nodded her head and followed Ginny out of the door silently.
Sarah followed Cho and Ginny out but keep quiet.
Sarah thought that everything was all her fault so she wanted to just stay out of the way and not do nothing to hurt anyone. Sarah started to cry lightly but whip it off hoping no one say anything.
Cho grabbed her arms gently noticing her soft cries and led her out the door.
"Hey thank I just feel weird." Sarah siad as she headed with Cho.
"I feel like no one cares. I can't wait for us to get to help out more though."
Once they were out of the room. She snapped her fingers and they were back in the dorm rooms. Lavy flopped down on her bed and pulled a pillow over her face. She was tempted to scream into it but that might rise some unwanted questions so she just laied there, very still.
Cho softly said,"Well I guess you're tired....then I'll ask those unanswered questions tomorrow."
"You and Sarah should go to bed. Tomarrow, I'm getting you out of all your classes." She told Cho, nodding over at at Sarah too.
"Night." She turned and walked out, heading to the common room.
Cho simply nodded her head and went to her common room dazed and confused. She fell into a nearby couch and fell asleep.
Sarah went and layed on her bed. She did not sleep though. Sarah wished that someone out there was just like her that she could talk to no one here understood.
((can we skip to morning now??))
Morning dawned, bright, crisp and clean. Ginny lay on a couch, her legs over the edge and her eyes staring at the ceiling blankly. She wore dark blue shorts and a light blue t-shirt, which made her hair seem even redder.
Students walked past in varying states of dress, getting ready for classes.
((LOL....well that answers my question...))
Cho sees Ginny lying on a couch and said cheerfully,"Hey Ginny!"
Ginny's eyes went from the ceiling to Cho. In one motion she rolled off the couch and stood. She streached her arms above her head and sighed.
"hey kiddo."
Sarah having had no sleep decided that the best thing to do would to go take a shower. She came back in from it and saw Ginny and Cho awake.
"Hi there guys did you have a nice night sleeping." Sarah wanted to seem like she was nice and caring but really she just did not want to talk about herself.
"Didn't sleep." Ginny said, softly. Her oice ws slightly hoarse, as though she had been yellig all night.
"Oh okay I hope that you are able to sleep sometime." Sarah siad as she started to put her hair up and smile.
"How about you there cho. How did you sleep."
Cho smiled and laughed. "Slept peacefully even though I think someone was snoring in the dorm next door...."
"well I'm glad that you did I'm going to go eat something see you guys later." Sarah said as she started to head outside.
"Don't forget, you arn't going to any classes today. meet me back here after you eat." Ginny told her, firmly.
"ya sure what ever." Sarah siad as she headed out she was going to eat and then go drawl by the lake before she went back.
Cho went to eat and came back to find Ginny after she ate a quick breakfast.
Lavy was there also pacing back and forth. She was wearing army green carpi's and a bright yellow tank top. Her hair had grown back from the last time she had cut it so it now flowed easily over her shoulder and down to her mid-back in gental curls. Her feet were bare. She looked up when she heard the door open.
"Oh, hey Cho." she said with a smile. "Have you seen Sarah, lately?"
Sarah was sitting down by the lake and sat there drawling thing like normally kids.
"Wow for once I am alone and able to have some time to drawl by myself." Sarah siad as she lied down on the ground and drawled.
Ginny was sitting in an armchair, watching Lavy. She had changed into black loose pants and a gray T-shirt, her hair was pulled up and out of her face. She looked up at Cho and smiled slightly.
"I'm looking for her too. She's supposed to meet me here. You arn't getting out of classes for nothing, you know." She pointed out, in a pretty good mood. She had talked to her mother about 15 minutes ago (transportation) and felt pretty good.
"And I just hate it when people cut my class."
Sarah had decided that is was about time to go back in so she stashed her thing in there normally place in a tree and headed off towards the castle.
She was sweating when she finally got back to her dorm.
"Hi there guys."
Cho softly laughed and smiled. "Hey Sarah, where you've been?"
"well that is an interesting story. I was sort of outside." Sarah siad as she set by her bed.
Cho said to Ginny and Lavy,"Well I like missing class and all but you guys want to tell us something?"
"ya well I want to know what it was or I might decided to go back to class." sarah siad as she held onto one of her other drawling pads.
Cho said softly,"Sarah, you should wait until Lavy or Ginny says anything....anyways we're supposed to have class right now."
"well I was waiting but I don't want to wait for that long. I mean DADA was at this morning." Sarah said as she smiled and sit on the bed.
I have potions this morning, glad to miss that class.
"funny I was actually was going to skip the class and not go, but I hate sitting here." Sarah siad as she pulled out a quill and started to drawl.
"Your the one who wanted to help. You think I'm gonna let you help without training you first?" Ginny said to Sarah, her eyebrows raised.
"Oh well I thought maybe you would for the first day." Sarah siad she could tell that Ginny was getting a little anger at her.
"But what ever you want is fine. Sorry I was late. Lost track of time."
Ginny nodded, "You should get a watch, dear. Of course, it wouldn't help matters once you start losing sleep." She paused then looked at them critically.
"Alright, we have to go outside."
"Well I don't really like watches. I forget to look at them." Sarah said as she started to head outside with everyone else.
"Understandable. I used to do the same thing." Ginny said, walking down the steps. They passed classrooms full of students who looked up at them. A few teachers peeked out the doors of their classrooms and smiled at Ginny. No one said anything to them.
Cho walked behind Ginny and then asked,"Why are we going outside?"
"Because, I can't teach you hand-to-hand combat inside the school" Ginny said, glancing at Cho to see her reaction.
"Oh wow." Sarah said as she looked at them she had no clue they were going to be doing that.
Ginny smirked.
"Have either of you ever actually fought hand-to-hand?" Ginny asked. She herself didn't know any actualy martial arts, but she had fought hand-to-hand several times.
"Well I have not. I mean I can't even do spells right. I have slaped people before though."
"Well, this'll hurt your enemies alot more than slaps. It might even kill them if you do it right."
Ginny pushed open the giant doors, walking out into the sunshine. She streached her arms above her head and kept walking, heading towards the forest.
"Wow. I never wanted to kill anyone." Sarah siad shocked.
She then follow Ginny into the forest.
"You're going to want to. After all, many people will want to kill you. I've come way too close to death too many times to not want to kill." Ginny shrugged slighty as they came to a clearing and she turned and looked at the girls. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail, sop it wouldn't be in her face and smiled at them.
"I think I want to be normally again and go to class." Sarah was now scared.
"Does it have to be me."
Ginny laughed, "Yeah, it does. You started it." She smiled, "Don't worry, you're not fighting me. Not yet. And your only learning enough to protect yourselves."
She turned and waved her hand, making three stuffed dummys on sticks appear.
"Well I'm not so sure I can do this I mean I can't even do spells right."
Ginny nodded, her mood improving by the minute.
"It's okay. Just be happy your not me. Way back when I was a first year, I had no clue how to protect myself. I had to have Harry save me." Ginny shook her head, smiling slightly.
"Then I decided to improve my magic and psychic skills. But one time, I was almost killed because they blocked my psychic powers and took my wand. I had no choice but to fight with my fists. I got away, thanks to an old friend, but then I had to learn how to fight. It's proven useful." Ginny tilted her head slightly.
"Don't worry, I'm going to teach you better skills in magic too."
"well okay good." Sarah walked over to one of the dummies.
"Well I still wish I knew to stay out of everyone elses business."
Ginny smiled.
"It happens. Now, first things first, you have to learn how to punch right. Pick a dummy and hit it a few times, as though you were hitting a real person."
"well wait I don't like fighting." Sarah siad as she punched the dummy like she would a real person.
"I didn't either. But you have to learn so you don't get killed." Ginny watched her hit the dummy.
((We should wait for Cho.))
(Ya)
Sarah continued to hit the dummy getting harder.
(Hey what about me :'( lol. sorry i've been gone so long. my job is killing me)
Lavy stepped out of the trees and sat down on a large stump. She took note as to what Sarah was doing and her technic. She remembered her training which seemed like a life-time ago.
((Would have held out longer, but didn't want the RP to die. Your an oldie, you know how to put yourself in RPs! lolz))
Ginny smiled slightly as she saw Lavy, but kept her attention on Sarah. She was keeping mental notes on how to help the girl improve.
( that's is so true, i've been here for like two years now i think. AWWWWW. i'm so old lol)
Lavy smiled back.
"Ginny I can not do this." Sarah siad as she turned around and sit down.
"Oh, come on, you just need training. You can't give up on the first day."
"Yes I can. I can drawl and get a job some where else I don't need to fight." sarah said as she sat down on the ground.
Lavy stood up as she sat down. "The only place your not going to have to fight is heven, and I'll gladly send you there if you don't just shut up and listen."
(i decided to put Lavy in a bad mood cause she hasn't been in one in a long time)
"Fine I'm going back to class." Sarah siad as she go up and turned to leave.
"I would rather mess with Draco. He always makes me want to fight." Sarah then started for the castle she wanted out of this and if she had to this was the way.
Ginny frowned and in a movment faster than the eye can follow, she jumped ahead of Sarah and placed a hand on her chest, pushing her backwards.
"You are the one who wanted to help. You are the one who begged. Now you are the one who's going to do it. Because now you are the one who's going to have to protect your loved ones!" Ginny growled, her eyes bright.
"This is nothing compared to what some of the evil people out there are planning on unleashing upon our school. Upon your friends, family, everyone in the world. They don't care if your magical, muggle, mortal, or immortal. They are going to try to end the world, and since you wanted to help, you get to help stop them. Now stop acting like a five year old brat!" Ginny's words were hash, and she was growing angry.
Lavy crossed her arms and started tapping her foot. "Would you like to see what you're up against?" she didn't even wait for a reply, she was so fed up.
"Ginny, would you like to demonstrate with me?"
"Fine I'll help but you are the ones putting me to fight since I stink." Sarah said as she walked over there and started to hit the dummy hard that it was ripping.
"I want to go back to class they are diving me insane." Sarah siad under her breathe. She did not relize that it was when she got mad. Which was hard to do that he could fight.
"Fine, then you can learn how to hit right." Ginny walked up to a dummy and laid one hit on where it's chest would be. It went flying backwards into a tree, exploding sawdust everywhere.
"Aim for either the head, or the chest."
Sarah was so mad that she was having to do this since she opened her mouth that she listened to ginny.
*When is this going to be over* Sarah siad to cho in a mental message. She then went to hit the dummy in the spots she was told to and so hard that she was starting to bleed on her fists.
"Don't hurt yourself, trying to kill a dummy. wait for a real person." Lavy said waling over to her and healing her hands.
"Fine. I won't." Sarah siad sort of mad at herself for saying she wanted to help.
"So I can fight what is up now."
"Correction, you can hit. If you wanted to see a fight, you'd have to watch one. But don't worry, you can have a break if you'd like." Ginny said, her frown still in place.
"okay I'm going to watch." Sarah siad as she sat down.
"Come one Ginny don't frown smile."
She turned her eyes on Sarah, and flashed a quick smile. But it wasn't a true one. When she was truely happy, her smiles lit up her eyes. She rubbed her eyes, thinking about how tierd she was and wishing she could just leave now.
Not yet, she reminded herself. She had to make sure no one would get hurt because she left. Soon though.
Ginny looked up into the morning sky and sighed, before looking at one of the dummies. Without a second thought, she side kicked it, knocking it over. She didn't look too happy.
Sarah sit down. She had decided a long time ago not to mess with Ginny.
So Sarah just sit and watch GInny.
Cho nodded her head and pretended to be fascinated but was still a bit confused. "Why hand-to-hand combat?" Cho asked cautiously. Then she added some sarcasm,"Well hand-to-hand combat is good when dealing with Draco."
"Cho be quiet. Hand-to-hand combat is good for me." Sarah siad as she looked at her friend.
"I can never do spells right. so it is good. Ginny contiue." Sarah siad smiling.
Cho ignored Sarah's comment to be quiet and asked Ginny,"Who were those dark figures from yesterday, and who is Duncan?"
"That is a good question I want to know too." SArah was really listening now.
"Duncan was the leader of a would-be rebel group. They were for an anarchy in the magical realm Those were his followers. They are all dead now." Ginny shrugged, waved her hand, and the dummy sat back up. Ginny tapped it and it became animated, almost like a real person. It swung at her and Ginny ducked, punching it in the stomach.
It swiped at her legs with it's feet and Ginny did a backwards handstand, and twirling on her hands, took it's head off by swinging her feet. The dummy fell to the ground.
Sarah sat there shocked. She was never going to be able to do that. All Sarah wanted to kow now was what she got her self into and how to get out.
"That was great ginny."
"Thanks." She smiled, checking her pulse. She paused and looked at them both.
"No worries, few of your oppenets will ever be able to do half of that."
"UM." Sarah siad as she tried to think of what to say.
"Ya that is good. Since I can't fight and do spells unless you want to be like a fish when I try to make you talk again." Sarah thought about when she did that to draco.
Ginny smirked.
"Yeah, we're gonna work on that after a while." She nodded, knowing Sarah could use the help.
"Ya that is a good Idea." Sarah siad as she thought. She stunk at all thing really.
"I would love help."
"We'll do that in a day or so. Unless I say, we have class every other day." Ginny told them, streaching her arms.
"Oh well that is fine. When ever you want to teach us is fine." SArah siad she really would like to have it very little.
"I'll help you also when Ginny can't."
"Fun I can't wait." sarah said smiling. *Ya right I could wait for ever.*
"Did you forget that Lavy and I can both hear your thoughts?" Ginny asked, smirking.
"Man I forgot about that." Sarah siad as she put her hands on her head.
"Now you know that I really could care less right now."
Ginny laughed, "You think you don't like this now? Wait until we have you working hard. You're going to hate me, if not Lavy too."
"Oh Great. I think I better learn how to hate someone." Sarah siad she never hated anyone but she thought that she could start.
Ginny grinned, "You'll hate many people. Why do I get the feeling that I'm corrupting an innocent?" She said the last to the sky, shaking her head. Ginny herself hated many people.
"Well I will learn but that gets hard when you want to like everyone." Sarah siad as she thought on how to hate people.
Ginny smiled, slightly. She was still aggrevated, but she'd get over it.
"Keep trying to like everybody. It's a good quality."
"Oh okay I will do that. I think that might be easier."
"I'm glad it's easy for you. It's hard for me though. I like students, and I like people in general. But I've seen too many people turn on each other." She said, shaking her head. She scuffed her sneakers in the forest ground, kicking up some dirt. She smiled.
"Ah, well. You know how to punch, so you can beat people up now." She laughed.
"oh that could be fun maybe Draco will leave me alone." Sarah siad smiling.
"I doubt it, he still hasn't left me alone, and I've beat him up a few times. But he may be more afraid of you." She laughed.
"Ya he trys to leave me alone when I have a wand because I ment to let him talk again. Well I did but it sort of turned him into a fish." Sarah siad laughing.
Ginny snickered, "A fish, eh? I've seen him as alot of things, but never a fish." She laughed outright and sat down on the ground.
"Ya it was pretty bad. I mean I did not mean to and I did not know how to fix it. It was a human body and fish head. I was pretty funny." Saraj siad laughing to.
Lavy shook her head and laid down.
Cho sat down next to Lavy and asked softly,"Tired?"
"You have no idea. As soon as they get out I'm going home, to sleep."
Cho nodded her head softly chuckling.
"I think I might actually sleep tonight." Sarah siad looking at them.
"I won't." Ginny said, somewhat sadly.
"well I hope that you have a good night then." sarah siad to Ginny.
Cho looked at Ginny confused. "Why? Something bothering you now?"
"I never sleep." Ginny said, shrugging, "I can count the nights I've slept this year on one hand, possibly two."
"Wow you need to get someing that will just knock you right out."
Ginny smiled, "Lavy, you know better than that. Nothing works. I only sleep when my body fully needs it, or I feel 100% safe." She explained again, for the benifit of the younger girls.
Lavy shrugged. "From the look of those circles under your eyes your going to need it very soon."
"Possibly, but I can still think corherently, so I'm ok for now." She stood, and streached, looking up to the sky again.
"You shouldn't push yourself like that Ginny."
"I don't push myself." Ginny said, looking at her, with slight amusment.
"If you wait till your nody is running on empty I think you do. But if you say so."
"Lavy is right, not about you pushing yourself but you should get some rest."
"No. I was right about both."
Ginny laughed, "Who cares whose right about anything? In the large schyme of things, does it matter?"
Cho laughed and nodded in agreement.
((we need some action/drama here.....))
((Don't worry, we'll get some. I always feel kinda bad for our poor characters...they rarely have boring lives.))
Ginny looked up, into the forest, and although none of the others heard anything, she seemed to have. She had heard a low howl, one of which many wolves make when calling each other. The howl erupted again, this time, loud enough for the others to hear. Ginny turned her head to the side, listening carefully.
Ginny looked past the girls, into the depths of the forest, her eyes distant as she searched with her mind only. She knew the howl, but she didn't know why such a howl was being uttered.
((wow nice turn Ginny ;D ))
Cho looked where Ginny was looking. "What happened, something there??"
((I'm a writer, what do you expect?? Actually, all of us are writers, some with more practice than others, but all the same.))
Now growling was heard, rough barking, more howls. Birds left the trees in groups, loud squaking marking the indigience for being disturbed. Without wasting a second, Ginny took a step closer to the others and a visable force field rose around them.
Just in time, it seemed, as an entier pack of wolves, and one human crashed into the field, all falling backwards. The human, a man, jumped up, looking utterly terriffied of the pack of wolves now cornoring him. Ginny watched silently, for a moment, trying to figure out who this man was, when it clicked.
"Mundungus," she breathed, angrily, before the force field fell, and Mundungus, who had been back up against it fell on his back.
"Stand down." She called werily to the wolves.
Cho just stood a little shocked and afraid.
"Ginny we can help." Sarah siad as she stood against a tree like she was told.
"No, you stay there you two. Don't move." Lavy moved forward. She was slow to do so. Even though Ginny had complet control over the wolves she still din't have complet faith in them.
"Fine we want to help you though." Sarah said as she sat on the tree.
"It's nothing, actually. Just an idiot." Ginny said, stalking over to the man. She grabbed the back of his robes and hoisted him to his feet.
"Mundungus....what the hell is wrong with you? You could have been killed! If you were trying to get unicorn hair again, I swear to god I'll let them loose on you!" Ginny yelled at him, shaking him. The wolves, who had sat down on Ginny's order watched with what seemed to be grins as their tounges hung out. Mundungus only covered his face.
"Rather like Molly, you are!" He said, his voice muffled through his arms.
Sarah sit there watching *how does ginny know everyone*.
Sarah had decided that she was not going to help.
"Mundungus was part of The Order of the Pheonix. Thats how I know him." Ginny said, shaking mundungus a few more times before letting him go.
Mundungus stumbled before standing still, and looking to face Ginny and the others. He fumbled in his pockets, before pulling out a black pipe. He lit it with his wand, and green smoke soon surrounded him.
"No smoking, Mundungus!" Ginny snapped at him.
"Ah. Righ. Sorry Moll-I mean Ginny." He said, putting out the pipe and stuffing it in his pockets. He grinned at Ginny, "Rather like your mum, you are!" He excalimed.
Sarah sit there and giggled that man thought that Ginny was her mother. Someone Sarah never meet so she did not know.
"What are you doing here?" Ginny asked him. Demanded, rather. She had always thought Mundungus was funny, but he also annoyed her quickly.
"Ah. Righ'. Fred and George 'av been tryin' to get 'old of you."
"I know. I've been ignoring them. Why'd they send you?"
"Said that you can't resist muh charm." Mundungus said, grinning. Ginny scowled, and his grin slid off. he muttered, "Rather like your mum-"
"Yes, Dung, we've already gone through this. You think I'm like my mother." Ginny said, rubbing her forhead and scowling.
"Ginny I think we might want to get back to training." Sarah siad trying to help her out.
"yes. Dung. Leave."
"Wait! Gred and Forge, I mean, Fred and George wanna see you." Mundungus said, shaking his head. Ginny scowled at him.
"Why?"
"I dunno." He shrugged.
"Ginny go see your famliy." Sarah siad as she walked over to her.
"I can take care of the forest and school for one night." Sarah then looked at her.
"I mean you told me I was getting good."
Ginny turned and smiled at Sarah.
"No. I'm not going anywhere. I see my Mum and Dad every Sunday. It's the twins own fault for not coming." She told them, smiling. She looked back at mundungus, "You tell them that if they want to see me to close the shop for the day."
"Righ'. Will do." He turned to walk away and they heard him muttering, "Rather like her mum."
Ginny shook her head and looked at the others.
"Ignore him. I think he's crazy."
"oh okay what do you need me to do." Sarah siad as she looked at ginny they had become close friends.
"Nothing. I just wanted Mundungus out of here." Ginny said, grinning.
"okay just rember I'm hear to help you out with what ever." Sarah siad as she stood there thinking about mybe trying to go to sleep.
Cho laughed and said smiling innocently,"Mundungus you should leave....I warn you....Ginny can be dangerous at times."
"WEll Ginny I think I'm going to leave talk to you tomorrow." SArah siad as she headed to her room to sleep.
"Bye Sarah, see you tomorrow."
"Bye" Sarah said as she went to sleep she did not feel good and was tired.
"Ginny training's over for now right? When is the next time and location for training?"
*Hey Cho tell me the next time to train.* Sarah sent a message she was about to sleep good when that thought came.
now though Sarah was asleep and dreaming about fighting armys of people.
"Couple of days. I'll tell you the day before." Ginny told Cho.
Sarah woke up after her dream and was sweaty so she went to the shower.
"This is great. I'm tired but can't sleep no more."
Cho smiled and said,"Ok, well I'm going to sleep." She turned to leave to her room.
Sarah walked back into their dorm.
"Oh hi there Cho." Sarah siad as she sat on her bed.
((different houses remember...))
Cho fell asleep peacefully well with alittle mumbling by the doorway.
(what I though we were both Ravenclaw)
Sarah was not tired any more so she sat in there window and drawled the moon and clouds moving.
((nope remember I'm in Gryffindor....LOL))
The next day Cho woke up. *I'll meet you in the Great Hall Sarah.*
(oh okay sorry)
*OKay see you there* Sarah siad she had already gone down there and ate some cereal. Now she would just wait for her friend.
Cho found Sarah already eating. She got some oatmeal and quickly ate.
"HEy you don't have to eat that fast."
"I have to go somewhere." Cho said smiling slowing down abit.
"oh okay is that all I can know/"
Then Cho got a signal. "Oh wait never mind that's tomorrow....so what are you up to Sarah?"
"WEll nothing. I'm just eating." Sarah siad as she smiled.
Cho softly chuckled and conjured up some lemon iced tea and drank.
"Well I don't know what to do after this." Sarah said as she was happy.
"I don't know.....I was thinking about walking around the school maybe go see the quidditch game today."
"that is cool. I might go to the game." SArah said as she laughed.
Cho softly laughed and said,"Well then I'll see you there."
"Ya See you." Sarah siad as she went to eat her food again.
Cho got up and left to the Quidditch Game.
Sarah said there. She was going to go there soon.
She sat down comfortably on a chair and soon all entrance doors closed and the game began.
Sarah mad it there just in time but she could not find cho.
*Are you here yet Sarah...the doors just closed.*
*Ya I'm here. Where are you.*
*Third section to the left of the Main Entrance.*
*okay I'm coming*
Sarah started to walk towards the area Cho was in.
Cho was watching the game very attentively.
"Hi Cho." Sarah said as she sat next to her friend.
Cho turned and saw Sarah. "Hey Sarah!"
"I told you I would make it." Sarah siad as she sat down and watched the game.
A few rows away from the two girls, Ginny could be seen. Sitting beside her on each side were men in dark dragon skin suits. These men looked exactly alike, they should, they were twins.
Fred, George, and Ginny were leaning forward so they could talk quietly with all the noise of the Qudditch around them.
Cho caught a glimpse of red hair and realized it was Ginny. She decided to address her presense later because the game was almost over. Cho turned to smile at Sarah. "Yep."
"Well that is could. So do you know who Ginny is with." Sarah siad as she smiled.
Cho shrugged and simply said,"Approach her later."
"Ya that is the right thing to do." Sarah siad as she looked back over there. She had no clue who they were.
After the game was over, she realized Ginny and those strange people were mingled in with the crowd leaving. She left through the nearest exit.
Ginny and the men were not in the crowd, actually. They had made their way down to the Quidditch pitch, which was now being abandoned by the teams. The three people stood, looking up at the sky and talking quietly, and laughing.
Cho looked down and saw Ginny and the other strange people.
Ginny and the men sat on the grass, still looking up. Before more then three people had left, firworks exploded in the sky. They were huge, beautifully colored fireworks, and many of the crowd turned right around and sat back down, oohing and ahhing at the wonderful display.
Cho despite the sound shouted,"Hi Ginny!" and waved at her hoping she would see her arms.
"HEy there. Where did you go." Sarah siad as she caugh up with Cho.
"Oh hi there Ginny."
Cho smiled at Ginny. "So what are you doing here Ginny?"
Ginny looked up at them and smiled. The firwoeks reflected in her eyes and she laughed. The two men beside her looked at Sarah and Cho with slight intrest.
"Hi you two." Ginny said, still smiling as the fireworks kept going off.
((wait Ginny, you set up the fireworks right?))
((Not exactly, the twins did most of it. Ginny just asked them to.))
A lone figure stood at the base of one of the ring poles watching the fireworks, far away from the others. Devon for the most part was just to shy to approach many people these days, being new to Hogwarts and all. The Sixteen year old was a new transfer from Durmstrang, from which he was a transfer from the north american academy for Witchcraft. Moving around alot had made it hard for him to make many friends.
"Well I better get going. Nice to see you ginny." Sarah siad as she headed to the school seeing some one new.
"Hi there. Not to sound rude but are you new. I mean I've never seen you around." Sarah then stuck out her hand.
"I'm Sarah."
Runs a hand over the goatee on his chin looking Sarah up and down as she approached, and raising an eyebrow as she speaks to him. "Im Devon, Devon McGonagall. Nice to meet you" he exclaimed shaking her hand.
Ginny turned back to the exploding fireworks as the last few went off. Then her and the two men stood, exchanging hugs before the men walked off, towards the school. Ginny gave Cho a smile and started walking towards the forest.
"If you don't mind. What brought you to hogwarts." Sarah felt sorry after she said that.
"Sorry I feel like such and idiot now." Sarah smiled as she took her hand back.
Cho waved bye to Ginny. Then Cho smiled warmly at the new boy."Hey my name is Cho, and you are Devon Mcgonagall....am I correct. Ms. Mcgonagall told me about you transferring to our school never told me reason though...how was Durmstrang though?"
Sarah smiled as she stood there. Him and cho looked like they knew to each other.
"well I think that I will leave." Sarah siad as she went to go to the school.
Sarah left leaving Cho and Devon standing awkwardly on the field as fireworks were still displaying above them.
"Well at least those arent being set off in between us, then people might start talking" He chuckles at the slight whit.
"You dont have to go Sarah theres enough of me to go around......ok that sounded a whole lot worse then i meant it." He sighed. "Im here because of what happened at the Triwizard Tournement, i was here during it with Viktor."
Sarah smiled as she turned around.
"Well it did but I can forgive you. It seems you are there for Cho." Sarah siad as she joked around.
"Oh well that is cool. I felt bad about it. So you like this so far." Sarah siad as she smiled.
"Im anywhere someone needs help.....Im like superman....without the glasses or his funky powers." He chuckled, unsure if either of them would actually get the refrence. He shakes his head. "Hogwarts is cool so far. It would figure the moment i show up nothing terribly funky would start to occur...some might wish i came years before." He chuckled again.
Sarah laughed.
"Oh really. I though superman looked good in the glasses." Sarah siad as she joked with him.
"Well we might have become closers friend." Sarah siad as she smiled.
Never know what may happen in the future.......Take one day at a time i do, ever since my mom.....nevermind.......life is too precious these days, especially with the war on.
"Oh well that is a great way to put it." Sarah siad as she smiled.
"I spend my time drawling. It is the best way to spend some time."
Nods. "So Cho your awefully quiet? how are you?"
"So you know she is normally the quiet one anyways." Sarah siad smiling.
chuckles. "Well thats good to know."
"Ya so I don't mess with her when she is like that."
Smile "I tend not to mess with wizards as a rule, unless they mess with me or my kin first"
"well when I feel like jokeing around I do." Sarah siad as she smiled.
"she is fun to though."
Cho shook her head but smiled. "Yes I'm quiet....trying to let you guys get along....."
"cho we already get alone." Sarah siad as she smiled.
Cho nodded her head and said smiling,"Well I can see that now."
"well fine." Sarah siad as she stuck out her tongue.
"So what we want to do."
Cho said,"Sarah are you okay?I didn't say anything offensive to you anyways...."
((You have to read my posts....it looks like I said something offensive.....))
"yes I'm fine. just bored. I mean the game was great and so was the fireworks but what is there now."
Cho said,"I don't know....I've been with you guys this whole day already....."
"Fine I'll go practie and leave you alone." Sarah siad as she turn to pretend to leave.
Cho had a confused look as she looked at Devon.
has a confused look on his face.
"what none of ya are going to stop me." sarah siad as she turned around and walked back to them.
Cho said softly,"Too tired...to stop you...." Her vision had gotten blurry and she was trying to keep her balance.
"Cho are you ok." Sarah siad running to her friend.
Cho slightly nodded her head and tried to smile at the blurry figure which had to be Sarah.
Out of no where, it seemed, Ginny appeared beside Cho. She grabbed her arm, supporting the younger girl and frowning, slightly.
"Cho, hun, you should come with me." Ginny said, softly.
Cho nodded slightly and suddenly collapsed into the grip of someone.
Surprisingly, Ginny held Cho without easily. She gently picked her up, walking towards the school.
"Devon, Sarah, come with me. I think you'll want to be there when she wakes up." She told the other two, looking back.
((Ginny can you tell them a reason why I collapsed so I don't have to think of something....LOL))
((Yuppers, I'll think of something. Let's wait for them, though.))
Lead the way Professor Weasley.........or Ginney.....Geez what am i supposed to call you?
"Ginny outside of classes, unless otherwise told. Professor in classes or when I am with other teachers." Giny told him, walking up the steps into the school and opeaning the doors without touching them.
"Exhaustion or something else?" he asked walking at her side.
"Not sure yet. We'll find out soon." Ginny said, opeaning the door to the Hospital wing and setting Cho on a bed. She pulled up two chairs, one for Sarah and one for Devon.
remains standing pacing back and forth worried now.
((Time to wait for Sarah and Cho.))
watch out for the spagetti :P))
"Ginny what is going on." Sarah said as she sat there.
"I mean is Cho going to be okay."
Healing magic is not my forte' unfortunately. Not remotely close, i tried to learn once....but i ended up bleeding for a week after trying to heal a cut on my arm.
"She'll be fine." Ginny said, smiling at them, "I am fairly good at healing. Had to be."
"okay. But what happened." Sarah said as she was now standing up.
"I want to hwlp some how."
"There's not much you can do, except be here when she wakes up." Ginny said, shrugging. She turned to Cho, touching the girls forehead. Cho would feel a bit better after she woke up, that was for sure.
"It is mostly exhaustion, but it seems she also has the flu or something like that."
"oh okay." Sarah said as she sat back down.
*Cho you better wake up soon. I mean I need pratice you know.* SArah sent to her friend hoping she heard it.
"well there went to late pratice. I've been doing it a lot lately." Sarah siad to herself out loud.
Ill be d**ned, if dark wizards dont get us...frig, I'll laugh if one of us is put out for a while by the flu.....its not funny but more ironic you know what i mean.
"Ya I know. We are ready to fight and you know the frist one they will go after is Cho." SArah siad on the inside she was worried for her friend more then herself.
Cho's mind was rushing with memories....moaning because of the pain she was in.
((Ginny....ideas.....LOL))
"cho are you okay." SArah siad running over to her friend.
((umm have to wait for Ginny....or do you have an idea why I fainted....))
Sits down next to her bed and takes one of her hands trying to be a comfort, not really saying anything.
Cho began to stir turned slightly and saw a blurry figure holding her hand and someone who looked almost like Ginny and Sarah.
"come on cho you can do it. Open your eyes." Sarah siad sitting there.
((do I have to explain when I wake up...or should I keep being sick...or whatever I'm doing....ooh or should we have Voldemort randomly in my head?))
(Voldy is quiet old. Besides, he's only intrested in his daughter, Kiara.)
Ginny tapped Cho's forhead, "Wake up, kiddo." She told her, softly.
Cho all of a sudden woke up with a bewildered look. "Where am I?" She looked down and saw Devon holding her hand, she quickly grabbed it away. "What happened to me?"
"You fainted." Ginny told her, simply. She shrugged and out of no where a small pouch appeared in her hand. She reached inside, "What do your perfer, Cho? Cookies...apples...muffins...?"
Cho smiled and said,"Well if it's chocolate chip cookies...I'll take some."
"Sure." Ginny smiled, and pulled three cookies out, handing them to Cho.
"Eat them all. They have medicine in them."
Ginny had once, long ago, taken classes to be a healer. Although she didn't do it as often anymore, she made healing potions for common ailments and baked them into treats.
Cho didn't care if they had medicine in them she just wanted to eat some chocolate chip cookies, which she loves so much. She gobbled them up quickly.
((you want to make it that the cookies have sleeping draught....or can I leave now?))
((You can leave, now. I'm going to make Ginny go back to the forest.))
Ginny smiled, and patted Cho's head.
"Good. You all be good, understand?" She told the three students, raising her eyebrows slightly, but still smiling.
Cho smiled warmly back and said,"Thanks for healing me Ginny. Bye."
"cho why you saying bye. Don't you think you should rest."
Cho stood up and stretched. "Nah need a walk."
"oh well then okay. I'm coming just in case."
Cho softly laughed and said,"Okay if you want to.....Devon you coming?"
Yeah sure. Lead the way.
Cho walked by the lake taking in the wonderful scenery.
Sarah walked behind them so that they could have some time alone. She could tell that they liked each other.
Cho turned to Devon,"So how do you like it at this school so far?"
Its cool so far
Cho softly laughed and saw Sarah lagging behind. "Hey Sarah...we're here."
"Hi there. Ya have fun." Sarah siad as she smiled.
Cho looked alittle confused and just shrugged.
Sarah smiled. She knew that her friends were having fun so she was staying back.
"Well what are ya t alking about."
Cho said softly laughing,"We're just talking about how Devon likes this school so far."
"well duh. I know that. Everyone likes this school."
Cho said chuckling slightly,"Well maybe for a few teachers...."
"Ya I can't stand snape though.'
"Snape is definately something else. Tho i can't say i don't like him"
"YA I like him as a teacher. I don't as a head of house. He plays favorites."
Cho coughed a few times and then said,"I'm not going to say anything."
"What it is the truth." SArah siad looking at her friend.
Cho said,"Sorry I've had this cold for the past few days...."
Laughs. "Ssssuuureee a cold"
"well Cold if you had it. Why are you outside where it is cold." SArah piped in.
"well if your cold i could warm you up" he smiled to her.
Sarah stood there. SHe felt so out of place. She knew that Devon liked Cho.
((No i dont...shes my enemy.....this is how i treat my enemies.....confuses the hell of them its sooo funny......LOL kidding))
(okay now I'm lost.)
Cho rolled her eyes and said softly,"Well I do have a cold....and you can warm me.....I do feel alittle cold...." She smiled and laughed softly.
"Well guys. I think I feel stange. I mean I know how you feel Cho. You know when it was just me and Siruis and you." SArah said looking at them.
Devon steps up behind her and rubs her shoulders softly, staying very close to her and leaving a quick kiss on her cheeck.
Cho blushed and felt warmer not just because his arms were around her but because he just kissed her. "Thanks Devon, I feel so much warmer."
Sarah with out them knowing decided to go to the lake and sit. She felt so out of place.
Cho said softly,"Left alone again...." She turned slightly and quickly kissed him on the cheek still blushing.
blushes brightly as well. "they always seem to do that"
Cho shuffled her feet on the floor and asked softly while looking at her feet,"So....what do you want to do now?"
i dunno what do you wanna do?
Sarah was sitting at the lake as she drew it with the waves moving.
Cho just blushed and conjured up some sweet cakes and tea. She shrugged and said,"I'm hungry..."
smiles, and conjures them up a table to sit down at, with candle light and everything.
Cho smiled and said,"Well Bon Appetit!"
smiles to her. Conjuring up some pumpkin juice, and some butterbeer, if she wanted some.
Cho took the butterbeer accidentally and got alittle drunk. She conjured more butterbeer and got more drunk than ever but she just dazingly smiled at Devon.
((haha what are you going to do now Devon?))
((LOL))
"Ok beautiful, i think thats enough butterbeer for one night." He smiled and conjured the butter beer away.
Cho looked up and groggily said,"You know Devon....I like you....I really do...." She got up and then lost her balance landing at Devon's feet.
smiles and helps her up. "I hope thats not the butter beer speaking. Comeon time to get you back to your bed." he smiled and disapparated everything. Then appaparated the two of them to her room, casting a powerful confudle spell on the alarm so it didnt go off when he appeared in the girls dorm. A blindfold over his eyes to stop himself from seeing anything like a good gentleman. He took her to her bed and tucked her in.
Cho groggily said,"I really love you Devon....." Then she slept peacefully.
smiles and brushes some hair out of her face. Leaving a kiss on her forhead he appaparated out of the dorm room removing the spell on the alarm as he did.
Cho smiled and went to sleep.
