"Great," Stacey mumbled under her breath, "Detention, and the forest. What else could make my day even worse?" She heard steps behind her. "Great." Who was coming up the path but......
Leah was walking down the path muttering to herself. *Honestly, I had to use the bathroom after bedtime and the stairs shifted! Why couldn't they believe me for once!* She saw another girl and said, *Oh hi there, do you have detention too?*
Jackie came behind Leah muttering angrily to herself also. "Fine maybe I played with the snitch out on the Quidditch field... without asking... but not like it was any harm!"
*Hey Jackie.* Leah said. *What did you do?* She asked.
"I was only having a bit of fuin with the snitch on the field... or at least that was untill I got yelled at to stop. Now I'm here... Not exactly a first either I should say." Jackie said half muttering.
"Oh, big whoop. I have detention for a whole week just because I went in Snape`s office. I tried to tell him I was in there no get advice, first thing I could think of honestly."
"I was really trying to swipe some kind of root. Still, I wonder what Hagrid`s gonna have us do, clean up after his pets?" Stacey stopped long enough to roll her eyes and for them to change to green, which only happened at night. "What`d you do? Went to the bathroom and the stairs shifted? That happened to me once."
"What about you?"
((Tehe... Having fun talking to yourself? ;D You're new and everything so, try to post everything in one longer post. Ok? ))
"I rather like detention, probably has something to do with my love of animals..." Jackie said sighing a bit. "Then again, look at what I have to compete with! Mira the perfect cousin!" Jackie made a low growling sound.
((No body was answering, so i just said something else.))
"Oh, I see. So, since you have so much experiance with the creatures of the Forest, what do you think he`ll have us do?" Stacy had a worried look on her face and her eyes changed to blue. "I mean, he can`t have us do anything to bad, or we wouldn`t be here."
"Take a chill pill, its never anything too bad." Jackie said.
"Then what do you think we`ll do?"
*Well my sister's been in detention loads of times and she says that sometimes they just have you walk around the forest...* Leah said. She was somewhat new to hogwarts, even though she was 15 (transfered), so she hadn't been in detention yet.
"What`s the point of that?"
Lily was talking to her self, like usual,thinking about how she got into this mess, it was because of a late assignment! Can you believe that!!, anyways, when she came across three girl.
" Oh! hello Stacey and Jackie....oh....i dont think we've met " Lily said to the third girl.
" My names Lily...Lily Malfoy.....soooooooo.....you girls have detention to huh " asked Lily.
" Well... it's not gonna be anything fun..I heard Hagrid is gonna have us walking the forest till mid-nite because of a hurt animal...something called a Nargle...anyways...it involves some dirty work. "
Leah smiled and stuck out her hand. *I'm Leah Hughes! And the point is that it's just to scare us! I mean why would you WANT to go into the forbidden forest at night? But if what Lily says is true then we may have a reason for coming here*
"Ugghhh." Stacey didn`t want to go looking for Nargles.
*Oh come on how bad can it be?* Leah said, thinking about all the worst things that could happen.
"Bad. Do you know what`s in there?" Stacey pointed towards the forest.
" Yea Leah....Stacey's rite...there are creature out of this world in there......like werewolves, vampires, unicrons, giants!......there are too many things in there " To be honest Lily was also scared and wished she had turned in that assignment..
"I`m not scared of werewolves, or giants. It`s the vamps that scare me."
" yea...same here....but the werewolves do scare me too.. "
" So...wat time is detention anyway.....I forgot......I was told to go out to the hut by Snape.. "
"It`s eight to midnight."
" Okay!.......Woo....would you look at the time...it's 7:45..............should me get Hagrid?? "
((lol...It's just like mine! hehe...we'rre doing to forest one's!!))
((yea)) "Yea."
" Okay...... "
(( I guess it's just us since the other two are'nt on ))
((how old are you, im just curious)) Stacey started walking towards Hagrid`s. She walked kind of fast, trying to make Lily concentrate instead of talking. Lily was nice, but clingy and chatty.
((same age as drew...14))
Yes...Lily had to addmit that she was very! clingy but not that chatty...
" hehe...Stacey is walking fast...probally because I talk to much!! lol Um...Stacey....your kinda jogging not walking "
((um...I gtg so i'll cya later...bye!!))
(are u leaving? like, your house? can ur bro get on?)
((no....he's gone...yea im at my house but I have to get cuz of my bro joey!!))
((when will u or ur bro b back?))
Leah hurried after them, and sighed. People were always scared of vampires, but when you are one, typically you won't be scared of yourself. *They just don't understand.* She muttered to herself still way to far behind them to be heard.
Stacey saw Leah behind them, she looked upset.
Leah saw Stacey turn around and look at her, so she hurried up. She caught up with them, and said, *You guys walk really fast!*
"Yea, don`t you want to get out of here?" Stacey realized what she had said. "Well," She said, turning back to Lily. "I`m not really scared of vamps, they just kinda don`t like me most of the time." Stacey hoped that would make things a little better.
Leah frowned, not sure of what she meant. Then she said, *Well you never know. Normal people could be vampires... you should just give them a chance!*
"Yea, I know."
Leah walked along and soon hagrid's hut came into view, even in the darkness.
Stacey also Hagrid`s hut and walked a little faster. She was the first to get to the door, so she knocked on it.
Jackie laughed at all the girl's nervousness. She laughed to herself. All Jackie ever did was sneak off to see the Hippogriffs (sp?). She had become familiar with the Hippogriffs and had a favorite in particular, a small one she had named Rainbow.
((?)) Stacey looked at Jackie, her eyes turning red. She had also grown to like some of Hagrid`s "pets". Stacey turned back to the door and waited for it to open.
Lily saw the door open.....it was dark in Hagrids hut...soon Fang..hagrids dog...came into view.....fang jump on Lily...
" Eh!! you mutt.....get off me....." Lily laughed cuz she knew fang would jump on the others as well....
" Thats a good Fang " said Lily while petting Fang and Laughing.....
Stacey watched fang jump on Lily. "Come on." She said.
" srry...this dog is wacko! " Lily said with a laugh...
Lily followed Stacey into the hut...
Stacey eyes turned orange, which they VERY rarely did. Stacey stepped inside and greeted Hagrid. She sat on one of the wooden chairs.
Lily sat next to Stacey.......
Leah hurried inside the hut and said, *Hello Hagrid! What are we doing for detention tonight?*
" Yea..... hope we get to use are wands! "
"It`s detention, we`re probably not going to use our wands unless we go in the forest." Stacey said in a flat tone, but getting annoyed.
Leah nodded and looked at Hagrid, waiting for him to answer.
"Heh, oh, yea. Wel` you guys are gonna take care of some o` ma pets." Hagrid replied.
Leah bit her lip. *Uhm, what kind of pets Hagrid?* She hoped her nervousness wouldn't show. Leah hadn't hunted in a while, and was actually quite thirsty. She wasn't sure she could resist animals that came to her.
Lily was wondering if leah was scared or wat.....but u could say that lilly wasnt to happy bout the forest thing..
"Yeah, what kind? Like rare ones or what?" Jackie asked with the same tone. She looked at Leah. ~Maybe I should've hunted before I came.~ She thought to her.
dazing off...lily stupidly asked "do u think we will see unicorns?"
Jackie frowned. "I hope not..." She muttered.
*Me too...* Leah said. *They're way too...* she licked her lips but then quickly added, *pretty... you know they'd put us girls to shame* She laughed lightly, and then shoved her hand in her pockets.
Jackie looked at Leah, eyes wide slightly. "Um.. Leah, do you want to come with me I need to talk to you about something in the forest quick." She said.
Leah composed herself and said, *Jackie we're in detention... I think it can wait...* She thought to Jackie, ~I'm fine.... truly we can always just pretend to get lost and go hunt.~ Leah used as many blocks as she knew on that message so that only Jackie would recieve it.
Jackie was ner at the vampire thing so she was worse at controlling the thirst. ~Leah. Whats the worst they can do? Detention again? Expultion? They wouldn't expell me for a matter as simple as survival.~ SHe thought, sniffing the air. She smelt many deer.
As Lily watched leah and jackie walk over to the side...Lily said to Hagrid..
"Hey hagrid...is fang coming wit us??"
((Ok Mira... no offense but you can't be a Siren and a Vampire and really good at reading minds... I don't want this to sound mean, but you've got to pick it's really bugging me))
~You could at least pretend that you care! No, I'd rather get lost... more time alone you know?~ Leah thought back.
((No...No she's a vampire, read her bio))
((So she's not a Siren?))
((No, just pretty))
(((OK... but that sure changes a lot of threads........))
~Don't worry you'll be fine. I'll be sure of it. And plus I know that you have enough self control. I trust you.~ Leah thought to Jackie, not moving. Then out loud she said, *Hey Hagrid, do you ming if we get going? I'm getting cold!* She rubbed her arms for emphasis even though she couldn't get cold.
((Ok, like she has a talent, as some vampires do. Her's is entrancement. Although she never knew and had been lied to by her family about being a vampire. Ok?))
((Good enough for me!))
*Jackie don't you think it's freezing out!!* Leah asked, rubbing her arms more ferociously.
"Uh... n- Oh, yeah... Freezing?" Jackie said, somewhat confused.
*Yeah. It is really cold outside don't you think!* Leah nodded waiting for Jackie to understand.
"well i know im cold!!" lily added
*Yeah once we get moving it'll warm up... and you wouldn't want to have our getting sick on your hands would you Hagrid? In fact, I can feel a cold coming on right now! Let's go!* Leah said.
"yes....very true." Lily followed the rest of the gang
As soon as they were in the forest, Leah pretended to be totally absorbed with looking at the trees. She wandered off, and started screaming, "Hagrid? Where are you? Help! I'm lost!" She knew exactly where she was, however, so she went deeper and deeper into the forest until she couldn't even hear the others.
