Nate walked around the forest clumzily with every step he took. He had just came back from Hogsmead and lets just say one simple word "Drunk". He walked looking at the moving whirling world around him and next thing he knows hes laying on the fores floor with a blank head and he stared dazed. He looked up and there was a tree right in his path,"Huh thats must be what happened?" He said with a voice he didnt recognize.
((Jeeze, I'm bored too.))
Ginny was suddenly kneeling next to him, dressed in a white hoodie and jeans. She reached down, poking Nate's belly.
"Had a bit too much to drink, kiddo?" She asked softly, her eyes searching his face.
It was obvious he had.
"Come on, let me take you back to the school."
The pretty red head held out her hand to help him up. She didn't know the kid, had only seen him in passing.
Libby was sitting on the steps outside of the school looking up at the clear blue sky, when she saw Ginny and Nate walking towards her.
"What happened to you?" she asked "A bit to much to drink hey"
Do you need any help getting him up to his dormitry?" Libby asked kindly with a huge smile on her face looking up at her sister.
'what's up with Nate' Bucky said
"Did he have to much to drink'
Nate looked cluelessly at the people surrounding him. He felt reallly dizzy and a little sad but then again happy, very odd. He slurred,"Its alright i..i can get myself up my myself. " He laughed randomly,"You know ive always wanted a dog and and and i never got one cause my dad is a ...a a a*S
"Dogs are really cool." Ginny said softly, reaching out and grasping his forearm. Without waiting, she helped him to stand, letting him lean on her. Even though she was older, he was taller than her. She was only 5'4".
"Come on Nate, let's go get something to drink. You like hot coco?"
Sky stood quietly by a chair near where the few people stood, dressed in a green t-shirt, blue jeans, and a black cloak. She said in a quiet voice, "Would you like some assistance Ginny?" And before she could even reply, Sky had made her way over to the other side of Nate and put her left hand on his arm and her right on his back. She could smell the alcohol on his breath and shook her head. "Oh geez Nate. Your lucky she find you rather than another teacher."
Ginny gave Sky a small smile and nodded. Nate was indeed lucky that it had been she and not anyone else. He would have been expelled.
But Ginny had seen many students drunk. She herself had been drunk once or twice. She knew what it was like, and didn't think they needed to be expelled for drinking so much.
The hangover the next morning would be punishment enough.
That and the detention she'd give him later on when he was sober.
He put on a wide smile,"I heard that and and its all good. I like you, your better than all those other teachers." He stood up on his feet feeling as it the world was moving around him, he put his arms out wide trying to stable himself."Cool," he said easily amused.
Ginny slipped an arm around his waist to help keep him from falling over.
"If you knew how uncool I was, Nate, you'd be repulsed that I was touching you."
She gently began to pull him towards the school, speaking softly in order to keep him from freaking out.
"Nate, you hardly know me, you know. In fact, I think I've only had you in class maybe twice."
A light laugh echoed from one of the trees and Stacey jumped down from a branch. "Come on Ginny, you`re not that bad." She herself had had one or two drinks that night. She walked up to Nate and put her arm around his shoulders, standing in front of Sky. She looked over and blinked at Ginny. "`Ello. You know, your classes are awesome." She said, laughing. "`Ello Sky." She added.
"You kids are so ignorant." Ginny said softly, still supporting Nate. Physically, this was hard for her. But her lack of sleep lately made it impossible to use magic unless needed.
"You simply don't understand, do you?" She kept her voice light, even as she spoke of such dark things. But she said nothing else, perfering not to.
Stacey clapped her hands. "Oooh!! I get it! You`re talkin` `bout the stuff you`re not allowed to teach us, `cause it`s to dark." She spoke, her voice slurred. "Right?" She asked, she was feeling the effect of her drinks now even more.
"No." Ginny said quitely. She stopped walking, holding Nate to her and starring at Stacey. Her eyes were shadowed, her face and sweatshirt showing up in the moonlight.
"I'm talking about things I've done."
Stacey gasped. The effects of the drinks she had were taking contrl of her mind. "I`m sorry. I can`t think staright right now." She turned around and plopped down on the ground, sitting with her legs stretched out in front of her. "Do you know how I feel right now?"
No one noticed Bucky was almost as drunk as Nate He ran around Ginny naked chanting "I see pixies I see pixies I see DEAD Peapole I see dead peapole"
Sky looked over at Ginny then at everyone else. "What the hell is this?" She asked. "A drinking party? Gosh you guys are so stupid. I'm so going to find the schools cymbals and I'm gonna play them in your ear while you toss your cookies into a toilet." She shook her head then sighed. "What do we do about these guys? Leave em?" She asked Ginny quietly.
'Kiss me' said Bucky
"umm, maybe later" said Libby looking disgusted. Thinking that she wont Kiss him and hopefully that he was drunk enough to forget.
"Isn't he a little young to be drinking?" asked Libby
"How old are you?" Sky asked Bucky, looking at his face. He didn't look very old at all.
"Pourtween"said Buicky "'bout Natelin"
Stacey pointed and laughed at Bucky. "Hehe, you`re a little dude. Hahaha." She laughed histerically.
"What I'm not a poo"said Bucky confused
Billie walked out of the forest. She had been sleeping for about two hours and was completly rested. She walked up to the small group when she heard people talking. She looked at two people she didn't know and saw one was naked. "ekk I'll be right back" she said and ran into the forest and began looking around for her clothes. She found a long black skirt and ran back to everyone. She could smell that they had been drinking. "Do you know whats fun?" she asked the guy she didn't know. "Wearing clothes!" she said and put the skirt over his head and slid it around his waist. "See isn't fun!" she said now that he was fully covered. Billie walked over to Sky. "What could have happened that would make all of them want to get drunk. Idiots" Billie said sighing. She saw Stacey and Nate "They're gone to" she signed. She looked at Ginny. "What are you going to do with them, they can't stay out here. Tonights a full moon, and it wouldn't be right to leave them out here. I can carry someone in" she said.
Stacey jumped up before Ginny answered. "I`m not drunk! I just had two drinks." She said, holding up three fingers. She crossed her arms as if to show that she, ideed, was not drunk. "I can walk back inside by myself thank you." She said, falling over. "Mabey not." She added, laying on her back.
"Dang... Its like a bunch of oversized little kids" Billie said.
Sky shook her head. "Morons. Let's just stupefy them and move them to their dorms." Sky said.
Bucky ripped of the clothes and said "get away you stupifing demons"
((Bucky, you are being slightly too obnoxious. Tone it down a bit. Also, everyone has to wait for Nate.))
Nate smiled and slurred his words together,"Nothingcause youdrank some." He looked at ginny in the eyes,"You are a good teacher though i just get distracted..from stuff." he said the last two words loudly. "And and no one likes me...its allgood. no one doess..and i think ithink i am drunk," he said flopping down on the ground with a hmpff so ginny wouldnt have to hold him up. "Did someone hurt you when you were drunk. is is dat why you said dat cause i can go beat the fing sh*t out of them or it or him."
"No." Ginny said softly to Nate, "No one ever hurt me when I was drunk. I hurt myself." She sat down next to him, smiling sweetly, "I did something I shouldn't have done because I felt sorry for myself."
She reached out, patting his arm, "And people like you, Nate. I do at least."
Nate looked at ginny like a lil boy,"Why you do it?" He asked seriously.
Still smiling, she shook her head.
"Because I was afraid that this person that I loved would leave me. He'd left me before, and I was so tired of being left behind." She sighed, "And someone was there. he wanted to be with me, and I didn't love him. But I was feeling sorry for myself...I felt like no one loved me."
Nates eyes turned a lighter shade,"Thats how i feel but thanks ginny. I think your really smart even though you did do that. Your still a great teacher even though i deserve more than that as my punishment. Cause..cause i was thinking about more than drinking until you guys found me."
"I've thought about that." Ginny said soothingly, "It's not bad to think about it. Everyone does at some point."
She smiled softly, "Drinking doesn't take the pain away, does it?" Slowly she shook her head, 'No, in fact, it makes it worse."
Nate nodded with his kiddish eyes layed on Ginny,"Your correct i feel like sh*t and its just killing me."
"But you know what? Hot coca helps make things look a bit brighter. So why don't you and me go get some, ok?" She held her hand out to him again, smiling.
She knew what it was like. The helpless, lost, dark feeling. She knew what it was like to be on the edge of the endless abyss.
Nate smiled his normal crooked smile and put his shaky hand out touching Ginnys,"Thanks." He stood up feeling topsy curvy but he put all his weight on his feet and had caught some of his balance.
Ginny stood, once again wrapping an arm around his waist. She nodded to Sky, "Do as you will with Stacey and Bucky." She gently led Nate towards the school, picking her way over fallen branches.
"Nate, I don't know what your problems are, but they aren't worth this."
Nate shook his head,"Nooo you dont understand theres several series that have lead me to this position i am in now." He slurred on moving his head a bit like he used to do when he was a boy.
"Nate, even my problems aren't worth this." She chuckled darkly as they left the forest and the school came into view. She smiled at him again, "Nothing is worth this."
Nate looked down apologetically,"I guess i just figured that drinking would wash away the pain for a bit. But i guess i felt bad for myself which is stupid."
"Did you know that alcohol is a depressant? A drug that lowers your endorphin levels?" She continued to speak softly.
"Endorphins are the feel good hormones."
Nate looked at her and moved his head slightly," well thenn...i should stop acting soo depressed then. Ill stop drinking mkay?" he asked to her.
"Sounds like a plan, little man." Ginny said playfully as they entered the school. She led him towards her office, not wanting to attract more attention than needed.
"In fact, to help you accomplish that, why don't you start coming to me when your problems get that bad?"
Nate looked at her quizically,"You mean like a psychiotrist or something?" He collapsed on a chair in her office and put his feet on her desk feeling very relaxed.
Bucky heard and didn't fell so drunk now and said "can I do the same and I think she just meant a counciler" no one asked him why he was so drunk.
((Bucky, I wrote you guys out of the RP because you were trying to take away from whatever Nate was doing. In other words, I kicked you guys out for a bit. If you want to keep RPing here, you need to still be in the forest with Stacey, Sky, and Libby. Otherwise, wait for an opening that makes sense.))
Ginny pushed his feet off her desk as she walked past him, shaking her head with a chuckle.
"A psychiatrist? No. But I've been through more than most people have. If I can't help, at least I can listen."
She walked around the desk, ruffling through the top park of it, Finally she pulled out a paper, snatched up a quill and began writing, even as she spoke to him.
"But more than not, I'll be able to give you some advice."
Nate smiled curiously at the paper, his eyes becoming a little blurry,"Whats that for?" He pointed wobbly at the paper.
"This," She said, shaking the paper so the ink would dry, "is your detention slip for next week."
She smiled at him, sitting down carefully at her desk.
"Nate, I'm serious. No more drinking, or I'll have to beat it out of you, ok?"
Meanwhile
"I'm sobally tober" said bucky trying to convince the others ('sept for Stacy) that he was sober
Sky laughed. "Yeah. And I'm Sheryl Crow." She said sarcastically. She looked at Billie. "Well then...this was mighty fun." Another sarcastic remark..

"This," She said, shaking the paper so the ink would dry, "is your detention slip for next week."
She smiled at him, sitting down carefully at her desk.
"Nate, I'm serious. No more drinking, or I'll have to beat it out of you, ok?"
Nate said in aww,"Ohh well hell thats fine. and ill try not to cause i really dont want you to beat it out of me."
"Lets just get him up to the Commonroom" Billie said.
"Alright. Come on Bucky. Your going to the common room." Sky said to him, extending out a hand to help him.
"Hot wouses are you guys from"said Bucky
"Gryffindor, both of us are" Billie said grabbing Buckys shoulders and standing him up only useing part of her strenght.
"thank's I forgotten what I've done nothing to bad i hope"said Bucky
"Depends on if you count running around naked bad" Billie said. "Come on Sky grab that side of him and we'll take him to the commonroom" she said.
Sky nodded and quickly grabbed his arm. "Look. Here's the plan. If you want to go to this school and not get expelled, we're going to have to take the long route." She looked at Billie. "There's always a teacher around the main entrance and there's ghosts all over. So we need to be sneaky. Which means we need to keep Bucky quiet." She looked back at him.
"No prob's but I didn't really run around Naked did I" said Bucky
"I can keep him quiet it need be" Billie said. "Ugh the long way," Billie sighed. She then smiled happily. "Sound like muchs of fun!!"
"were's the long path" Bucky Wispered then he remembered he had his invisibility Cloak "I have an Ivisibillity cloak" Bucky said a bit to loud
