I nodded and watched Cassidy walk into the classroom. I then turned my wheelchair around, and carefully went down the stairs, and to the Gryffindor Common Room. I instantly opened the book Cassidy had recieved for me ant the Library. I scaned down the page, and after 10 minutes of looking I found the first thing. I slammed my hand down on the page in frustration.
"Im not going back there!" I screamed in my head. Ten minutes later I had also found the second thing I was looking for. As I read the page, my parents death, all came together. I left the book wide open, to a page that read Death Eaters "It was one of them who killed my parents. It was one of my aunts friends that killed my mother and father. She is in Lord Voldemorts power!" I thought angrily. I thought some food would make me feel better, so I went down to the Great Hall. |
Berii didn't have the time to say goodbye to Cassidy before leaving, Professor McGonagall wanted to talk to her again. When she was finished, she ran to her next class: History of Magic(?). She got in the classroom and sat next to Cassidy.
"Sorry for leaving without saying goodbye. And about Professor Snape, he really does that, you don't have to worry. He can be such a pain sometimes." she whispered, hoping only Cassidy will hear what she said. |
Cassidy nodded at Berii, sighing. She looked at Berii.
"I'm not too worried about it. I mean, I figure as long as I'm not too defensive, it'll be okay," she smiled. "Besides, it's only one class, and I'm sure I'll get through detention okay." She scribbled an important date down, and let her eyes wander around the classroom. A few Hufflepuffs were snoozing in the corner, and a Slytherin tossed a spitball at the Gryffindor ahead of her. When the class had finally ended, Cassidy waited for Berii to gather her things so they could walk together to lunch. "I'm so glad I met you, Berii," she said genuinely, throwing her bag over her shoulder with a grin. She looked towards the doorway of the classroom and tossed her mane of short blond hair. "What do you say we hit the Great Hall for lunch before Charms?" |
After class, she wore her backpack and found Cassidy waiting for her. After listening to what Cassidy said, she spoke.
"I was about to ask you that." she laughed. "I was wondering, when are you doing your detention?" she asked as she entered the Great Hall. |
"After Astrology tonight I think. It should be positively dreadful!" she exclaimed, then laughed at herself after dramatically rolling the 'r' in "dreadful."
They passed a bunch of other students in the hallway on their way to lunch. Cassidy was happily chatting with Berii when a fourth year Slytherin with dark, shaggy locks of hair, stuck out his foot to trip her. She jumped over it lightly. He scowled at her, and ran ahead of her to head them off. "Well, well," he sneered, halting her in front of his cronies. "If it isn't the little ninja wiitch my brother told me about after his Potions class this morning." His cronies laughed, and from behind them, emerged the greasy haired Slytherin boy that had been jeering at her all day long. Cassidy rolled her eyes, and looked at Berii. "Let's get out of here," she told her, annoyed at the Slytherin's taunts. "Seirously, who has this much time between classes to pick on people?" "I don't believe I know your name," the older brother snarled at her, grabbing her wrist. "Don't you think it's awfully rude not to introduce yourself?" "Let go of my hand," Cassidy told him firmly, looking down at his large, meaty palm, which had locked around her small wrist. "Oh, the little ninja witch wants me to let go of her haaaaaand," he mocked, flashing a sarcastic pouty face at his cronies. It soon turned to a malicious grin, as he yanked Cassidy closer to him and his little group. Cassidy looked at Berii, telling her with her eyes to stand back. She narrowed her eyebrows at the Slytherin boys. "I am going to ask you one more time to let go of me," she told him calmly. Inside, she suppressed the rage rising within her. "Please let go." The Slytherin boy just laughed. Cassidy swiftly twisted her wrist around to grab a hold of his hand. She quickly bent his hand towards him, as though he were pointing to himself, gripped his fingers with her other hand, and pulled his hand downwards. The Slytherin boy sunk to his knees with a suprised yelp. Cassidy looked down on him with a very clam expression, her hair hanging in her face. "Leave me alone," she told him firmly, and let go of his hand. She walked towards Berii, her expression blank. She tried her best to shake off the incident, so as not to make Berii uncomfortable. She looked at her kindly. "Sorry...about that," she muttered, embarassed. "You probably think I'm some kind of freak. I'm not the kind of person who just beats up other people...I'm really not. It's a last resort self-defense thing, I promise." She sighed. "Sorry...I'm babbling," she apologized once more. "Gosh, I feel so awkward!" |
Watching Cassidy stand up to the Slytherins made her smile. It's not like she wasn't like that, if the Slytherins would do that to her, she'll do the same.
"Freak? Why would I think that? I'm like you, I tend to defend myself often, too." she said, giving her a kind smile. Beforing getting back to her food, she looked at the Slytherins' shocked face. |
I saw Karli at the Great Hall. She seemed pretty peed off. But overjoyed at the same time.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "Someone close to you die with those Slytherins?" Karli gave me a look. "I'm joking! Seriously what happened?" |
"Nothing I am willing to talk about" I said. "Have you met that new girl at all? She is really nice..."
|
Cassidy giggled as they made their way to the Great Hall. She was suprised to find Karli there, and even more suprised to see her so unhappily talking with another kid.
"Hey, do you mind if we sit with Karli?" she asked hopefully (I think she is from Gryffindor?). Cassidy walked over to her, concern taking over her expression. She stood next to Karli, and addressed her an the kid she was talking to in a calm, but firm voice. "Is there a problem?" she asked, kindness still tugging at her firm tone. |
"Oh, no I dont mind you sitting here" I said kindly. ((Ya, my character is in Gryffindor))
"And thanks for asking, but there is nothing wrong". I smiled, and put away my quill and parchment. |
"Okay, just making sure," she said, taking a seat next to them. She turned to the guy Karli had been speaking to and offered a handshake. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Cassidy."
She looked at her new group of friends with a broad smile, wiping the stray strands of her short hair away from her face. She was really beginning to like it here. |
Food suddenly appeared in front of me. I held up my goblet, and said, "cheers" to Cassiy.
|
"Cheers!" Cassidy said lightly, raising her goblet to Karli's and taking a sip. Cool water slid down her throat. She set down the goblet, and took a bite of the salad that sat before her.
She surveyed the room. Not a lot of students had stopped in for lunch. She took our her Charms book, and laid it on the table, leafin through the worn pages. "I'm really excited about this class," she told her friends. "It's a lot of fun...casting spells." |
"Well, its what we're here for!" I said cheerfully. "I love spells to, one of my favorite things is studying"
|
"I'm Joshua Bates!" I said. "I have to go to the library to find something!"
|
By now, Cassidy had finished her salad. She got her things together, and stood up from the table.
"I've got to get to Charms," she told them, balancing her wand playfully on her index finger. "Wish me luck! Berii, are you coming?" (I think you said you have charms with her...?) Cassidy walked out into the hallway, and turned down a corridoor that led to Charms. Professor Flitwick sat happily behind his desk, waiting for his students to file in. Cassidy took a seat, and waited patiently for class to begin. OOC: I forgot about Transfiguration! Wah! That'll be after Charms for Cassidy...a few hours before Astronomy. |
OCC: You dont have to fit in ever detail of your day, you should only talk about one of Cassidy's subject. It is much easier.....
|
Why won't she let me help her? I asked Flame as I went into the Great Hall to eat. I sat by myself at the end of an empty table. I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now, all I wanted to know is why Karli was acting mad around me, she was a friend none the less and I didn't want to lose her friendship.
Flame, who was hovering around the castle for fun answered, I don't really understand it either. One minute she's your friend, the next she goes off like a bomb. She knows we have the ability to help her, I don't know why she's so presistant on not letting you help her. I'm so confused, I don't konw what to think anymore." I said to him hopelessly. Then don't think, take a break and I'll take over for awhile, that way you can see what it's like to be a dragon. Flame suggested. I thought about it for awhile and accepted his offer. Here we go! Flame said. I could feel my mind slowly drift away from my body, until my vison blurred and when I could see again, I was soaring around the castle. It was a magnificent feeling, the wind caught in my wings, it was just a wonderful feeling, beyond description. Meanwhile, back in my body. Flame got up from the table and walked around the Great Hall. There was something wrong with my body, I had flaming red hair and my eyebrows were pitch black. My fingernails were black and my muscles were bludged. This is wonderful Johann! I had no idea you were this powerful. Flame said excitedly to me. I was now flying freely and said, I had no idea flying was so much fun! As the people in the Great Hall stared at Flame because his effect on my body changed me, as mentioned above, with the hair nails and mucles. Flame just stared back at them, he didn't get what they were staring at. |
I looked up to see what all the comotion was about. I saw Johann, looking disgusting. I finished my food, and out of the Great Hall.
|
Flame saw Karli leave, and thought, Does she always do this?
Everytime I enter the Great Hall! I said still flying away. She must be a very sad person, then. Or you must have ticked her off, to the point you disgust her. Well I'm going to find out now. Flame replied as he ignored the stares and walked up to Karli once they were both out of the Great Hall. "Hey Karli! What's the matter?" Flame started. "It's me, Flame! Johann needed a rest so I offered to take his body for a few days, so I could see what he sees." Flame said happily. "So why are you so disgusted with Johann? Wait before you tell me, let me block my mind so he can't hear you through me." He said. Sorry Johann, but she'll have a better time telling me if she knows your not listening. So I'm blocking you from my mind, I'm sorry. He said to me. Will you tell me after your done? I asked hopefully. No, I won't. Sorry but what she says is between me and her and not you. He replied. "Okay done. I won't tell him what you say to me. So why are you disgusted with Johann?" Flame asked to Karli. |
Berii, who was eating peacefully, nodded to Cassidy's question.
"Yeah, wait I'll just get my stuff." she said, as she put back all her supplies in her backpack. In her mind, she was really confused, Professor McGonagall talked to her about the constant changing of her classes, but she didn't tell her why and that caused her to wonder. |
OOC: Hi, sorry I havn't been on. I havn't been able to. I caught up, but don't know were to start. Help, anyone?
PS- I drew Terra in a manga fashion. (My profile pic) Do you like?:D |
OOC: Yep! And I have a whole day for this because the teachers are striking! :)
Then I have another spare day on Wednesday! :) :) :) |
OOC: Teacher strike? Cool. :P
So, can someone help me restart? |
OOC: I went to the library. That's all I know
|
"Im not saying anything!" I said sharply. "Nothing!"
|
OOC: Then I'll be searching for your character, Batesy.XP
BIC: After all the classes, I walked along in the corridors, looking for Josh. I came near the library, and decided I should check to see if he was there. Walking in, my eyes francticlly searched around to see if he was somewere in there, reading, or doing homework.... |
I was looking up spells. Their were alot that could help in the near future.
"Zickalina Pormap," I read from the book. "Makes you invisible. Encyclepedius, let's you see into people's minds. Statueu-Scollius, let's you control a statue...." |
Finally, after walking along, I found Josh, looking up diffrent spells and reading them out loud. I recognized a few.
I crept up behind him silently, waiting to see if he'd notice me. |
"Fine." Flame said calmly. "Prehaps you could show me around. I haven't ever got a chance to see the inside of this place. So could you please show me around?" Flame asked as he jumped up and down excitedly. He had never been in a human body and he felt like alittle kid (mainly because he is)
|
"No, get Johann to show you around!" I snapped.
|
"Why are you acting like this? I've done nothing to you." Flame said suprised that she would snap at him. Then the darker side of Flame showed, "I've the urge to slap you right now. But I'm not going to. You've insulted my master, you've sat back and agreed with people about how he is a sleez. I'm not going to talerate it anymore. Don't tell me you haven't, I've got more brains then all the pathetic humans in this school. I have very very good hearing, and I've been listening to everything people have said about Johann. And you of all people, he considers you one of his best friends, and you turn around and throw it in his face. So explain yourself. Yes, you've had troubles with you aunt, but the truth is. NO ONE GIVES A ****! Yeah, sure people pity you, but no one really cares about your problems. They all got problems of their own, and they manage to suck it up and move on. You on the other hand are a selfish little brat. You expect everyone to bow down to you when you need their help and then you tell them to get lost once they can't help you anymore." He said as his anger grew. "So you better start thinking about everyone else soon, or your going to lose all your so called "friends"! Don't tell me Johann has done nothing for you, you know that's a lie. He's saved your butt more than twice and you show no gratitude toward him." He added viciously. "That's all I have to say to you." Flame said as he backed her into a corner as he talked.
|
Terra snuck up on me.
"This spell- AHH!" I yelled when Terra snuck up behind me. "Terra!" |
I stopped, and turned around quickly, and burst into tears.
"I expect nothing from anyone! Just leave me alone!" I yelled, and I started to run to my dorm. |
Flame let her run passed him. He had absolutely no pity, cause he was certain what he said was true. He just calmly walked back into the Great hall to eat.
|
I giggled. "I was wondering when you'd notice me." I said, grinning. "Sorry."
|
"That's OK!" I said. "So why did you come?"
|
I shrugged and looked at him, smiling. "I don't know..... I was um, looking for you." I said.
|
Flame explored the castle, when he stumpled apon the library, and saw two familiar faces, although he never did know their names. He walked up to both Terra and Batesy and said, "Hello! HOw are you guys." He saw them look at his red hair and his nails, as well as his overly large msucles. "It's me Flame. I'm just using Johanns body for now, I added some touches to his body to make it comfortable for me." he said extending a hand for them to shake.
|
Cassidy finished with Charms early, so she went in search of her new friend Karli. (Hopefully along with Berii!!)
She entered within earshot to hear a boy with flame colored hair yelling at her. Cassidy's face became hard as diamonds. She marched straight up to them to find a near-tears and very frustrated Karli. Her aggressor seemed to only push at her harder. "I heard her tell you to leave her be more than once," she told him darkly. "So buzz off. And cut the crap about people not caring about problems. It's called having a heart. You obviously can't fathom that, or you would have had the heart to leave her alone!" Cassidy turned briskly on her heel, but not without her hand on her wand, ready to defend herself if necessary. She followed after Karli to the Gryffindor dorm, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Sorry if I was sticking my nose where it didn't belong," she apologized sincerely. "If you'd rather, I won't interfere if it happens again." She looked at Karli apologetically, and all the time wondering what on earth could trouble Karli so very much. She didn't want to ask though. It seemed a subject she wished to keep to herself. |
"Ooook..." I said getting up slowly. "I'm just going to the astronomy tower... Want to come Terra?"
|
I blushed vividly."Sure." I replied to Josh, then turned to Joha- I mean, Flame. "Cool, Flame. Nice meeting you in person. Gotta go now!"
|
I walked to the Astronomy Tower and looked out the window.
"Wow!" I said. "We are very high up!" |
OOC: I'm in the library now but I'll respond to it.
IC: Flame just stood there laughing, "Sorry you have me confused with Johann. My name is Flame. And everything I have said is the god to honest truth. And I'm tired of her BS. So if you would like to take me on, it would be my pleasure. I'm sure you have never faced a full blooded dragon before but I bet I'll be more than a match for you." He said laughing. As he walked to the library. OOC: Okay now just leave off from my last post before this one. |
I put my hands on my face. My back was healed now so I could stand.
"Its okay..." I sobbed. "At least I know someone cares" |
"Yeah." I responded, looking out. "It's nice...." I said, staring out at the window, in a daze.
|
OOC: Wow...sorry for the confusion, Raichu Master! (BTW, your avatar is cute!)
IC: Cassidy carried a sad, almost pitying expression as he walked off to the library. She felt truely sorry that he was so misinformed. Her temper was zero. She never felt anything when she was supposed to be angry. Her mind was always at peace, always calm. It was better that way, so that she could clear her mind of thoughts, and keep others out of her mind. "Nothing is accomplished through violence," she said softly. "There is nothing victorious in destroying the body and feelings of another person." (Continue from last post when Cassidy walks with Karli )and Berii?) to Gryffindor tower.) Cassidy looked at Karli with compassion glowing in her eyes. By now, they had reached the Gryffindor common room. "Perhaps, if it isn't too much trouble for you, you could tell me what pains you so much?" she asked sincerely, taking a seat in a comfortable, well-worn chair near the fireplace. |
The window, open, revealed the great forest, and the lake, and so much more....
Without thinking, I suddenly found myself clinging to the edge of the window, still in the school, but very near to falling out. Something had.... I don't know what... I was paralyzed. I couldn't move. I didn't know why. "J-j-Josh!" I squeaked out, not able to move. |
I pulled Terra back.
"Are you OK?" I asked. |
I nodded faintly at Josh, gratefully.
"I- I don't know what happened..." I said weakly. |
"It doesn't matter!" I told her. "All that matters is that you're safe!"
I helped Terra up. |
"Than you, Josh." I said as I stood up, shaken by the accident.... Or was it a incedent? "Thank you..."
|
"That's OK!" I said holding her hand.
|
I smiled. "Well, so, what are we going to do now?" I asked, trying to forget the accident.
|
"I don't know!" I said. "want to go to the lake?"
|
"Okay!" I said brightly. "I love the lake- sure thing!"
|
"OK!" I said smiling.
I walked Terra to the lake. "Looks beautiful doesn't it?" I asked when we got there. |
I nodded, and looked out at the great body of water."Yes. It does."
|
I sat down. I looked at the lake and then looked at Terra.
|
I also sat down on the grass. "It's strange how the simplest things in life can be beautiful." I said, gazing out at it.
|
"Yeah!" I said half listening, still gazing at Terra
|
"Remember last year?" I asked suddenly, remebering the time when we both had told each other about our feelings next to that very lake.
|
I was suddenly tuned in. "Yeah!" I said. I then began gazing at her again.
|
I felt Josh's gaze on me. I turned, and looked at him.
|
We stared at each other for a while
|
I looked away, for a sudden thought had struck me. "I wonder...." I murmered.
|
"Wonder what?" I asked hearing what she said.
|
"It's..... Karli...." I said, feeling a bit worried. "And something else..... But I can't quite place it."
|
"What about Karli?" I asked.
|
I shook my head.
"Im sorry.....I...I just dont think I am ready to tell anyone yet...." I muttered to Cassidy. |
All the people this pushy and selfish? I say hi and I'm almost totally ignored. Flame said as he walked down a hall way.
No. Not most of the time. You must have caught Batesy and Terra at the wrong time. Don't be bothered if they kind of ignored you. I'm sure they won't be that way when you next meet I said trying to make myself believe it. If you say so. Flame said. I want to save someone! Why can't there be trouble when I'm around, but there's danger everywhere you go. Simple you still have your dragon strength, and only a moron would cause trouble around you. I said. Just then the two slytherin boys came around the corner, Speak of the devil, there comes to morons now. Watch yourself they're trouble makers. Flame nodded and stopped to face the boys. "Look who's high and mighty now. With your muscles and new hair color." One of the boys said as they pushed Flame. "Yeah I bet your not as tough as you make people think. Your by yourself now. Let's see what you can do." The other said laughing. Flame just laughed even louder. "You can take me on, even if there was an army of you I could still take you down without lifting a finger." "No, wizard is that strong no matter what he is." They both potested. "Oh but I'm not a wizard, nor am I truely human. I'm Flame, Johanns dragon, I'm barrowing his body for now. So I could see how it felt to be human. I carry over my power with me." Flame said. "Prove it." They both said at the sametime. "So what you can do with out lifting a finger." They both said laughing. "Very well." Is all he said. Flame closed his eyes to reach for his dragon powers and then opened his eyes. They both charge at Flame and Flame stomped his foot, and the floor started shaking, but not falling apart. BOO! Flame said to both of there minds. What are you doing? They demanded. Consticting your mind! Flame said laughing. The boys suddenly felt a pain like no other, they nelt on their knees and grabbed their heads. They tryed to yell but Flame disabled their vocal cords so they couldn't even talk. "Now your finished, I'm making sure you never hurt or bully anyone again1" Flame said as he constricted their minds harder until they fainted and went into a comma. Your not going to be able to walk, because you'll be paralyzed from the hips down, and everytime you insult someone your brain will constrict to the measure of harm you done them. Flame said to them, becausehe could still talk to them in a comma. He carried them to the hospital wing and said, "They slipped on the stairs and I found them laying on the floor fainted. I'm pretty sure their paralyzedd from the waist down." Of course he was smart enough to brain wach them enough to believe that was what happened. He exited the hospital wing and reclined on a bench near the Great Hall. |
I was soon up and about. I decided to take a walk outside, to calm me down. I whistled, and Soraya came trotting up to me.
"Im sorry about what I said about never riding you again"I said to her. "Will you still let me?" Soraya whinnied, and I smiled. "Thanks" I said getting on her back. "To the lake girl" I said, as she started to trott. We finally arrived at the lake, I jumped off of Soraya, and sat right down. I was there to think of happy thoughts....but did I have any? I finally found one, about the first time I met Terra...and all my friends.....excpet Johann.... |
I frowned. "I'm not sure..... But I have this feeling.... Oh, nevermind." I said a bit worriedly again, then, I just looked out at the lake; in which, the giant squid was lazily floating around.
|
Cassidy nodded at Karli, understanding her wish to remain silent. They went their separate ways, and Cassidy had some time to kill before dinner and Astronomy, so she went upstairs to her room.
She opened her large, mahongony trunk, and pulled out a gi made of thick, black canvas. She quickly dressed herself in it, and, taking her bo staff, made her way quietly downstairs and out of the school. She chose a secluded area in one of the courtyards that seemed to be rather abandoned. Closing her eyes, and drawing a deep breath, she sat down on one of the short, fat banisters that was at the end of the staircase leading to the courtyard. She crossed her legs, and lay the bo across them, and cleared her mind... Trees...lots of trees. And darkness. A kind of dank darkness that was both gloomy and terrifying. Cassidy shuddered, pulling her robes tight around her and pressing onwards, her mind swimming though she fought to push the thoughts away...to keep a clear head. "One must have their wits about you," an all too familliar voice cautioned, almost mockingly. "We wouldn't want anything to...happen, now would we?" Cassidy grimaced as she stepped in a mud puddle. She pulled her foot out of the mud, and continued onwards, holding the lanturn for Professor Snape. She knew not what they were searching for. All she wanted was to go back to Gryffindor tower, to sleep soundly in her warm down comforter... "It's this way," Snape said darkly, leading her to a cave. "This is where they have been keeping them." Cassidy narrowed her eyebrows in curiosity. "Them?" she asked softly. Snape turned to look at her sharply. She grimaced and took a step back. "Just hold the lanturn," he snapped, and went into the cave... Cassidy felt her eyes slowly open to reveal she was safe and sound. She stood up, hoping the vision was not a premonition of her detention tonight. She placed her bo comfortably in her hands in a defensive position, and practiced her kata for an hour or so. Her muscles moved easily, fluidly, practiced, as she struck and blocked the air with great force and percision. She moved faster and faster, swinging the six-foot maple rod like it was made of foam. Panting, she took refuge in the shade of the building once more, meditating to clear her mind before she went to join her peers once more. The same vision assaulted her once again, and when she awoke from her meditation, she noticed storm clouds had begun to gather over in the west, blurring the sun as it began to sink below the horizon. "I bet Astronomy will be hard tonight," she muttered, and hurried inside to change and go to dinner. She threw on her robes over a pair of baggy jeans and a slimming black shirt. She tied the robes tightly around her to disguise the street clothes, and hurried down to dinner to meet up with her friends. She arrived just in time to see the dragon boy beat up the Slytherins. She shook her head in dismay as he left to bring them to the hospital wing. "To inflict pain on others to gain recognition of your powers is not the solution you should seek," she called after him gently, tucking her disobediant hair behind her ears. "It will never quench your thirst." She turned on her heel and went into the Great Hall. |
I stood up, finally. "Come on Josh, it's time for our last class. Let's go, so we won't be late-okay?" Taking him by the arm and swinging my bag over my left shoulder, we started to walk towards the school. "Let's seee," I said, consulting my schedule. "We have.... Astronomy." I murmered as we walked in.
|
Flame laughed and said to himself, "She doesn't know half the thing these boys have done. And I have no thirst for hurting people." He then went to the great hall and saw the same girl that always seemed to get in the way. He walked over to her and said, "I think we got off to a bad start. My name's Flame. I'm atually a dragon, but I'm taking over Johanns body to see what it's like to be human. Your new here aren't you? I was also supposed to find out why Karli's so ticked a Johann. He's done nothing wrong. Do you know why she's acting like that toward him?" Flame then held out his hand so the girl could shake his hand (I'm talking to your character Skye. Just wanted you to know, cause I want to avoid confusion.)
|
Terra and I walked up to the Astronomy Tower.
"Great time for astronomy!" I said. "When we just came down from there!" |
"Yeah." I said half heartedly, and kept well away from the windows.
|
I made my way up to the school for Astronomy. I went to the common room, and picked up the book that I had read the previous day. A few hours ago,the book was closed, and now it was wide open, to a page with the title of:
The Dark Lord Below it, was a piece of parchment. The ink was still wet, and the quill was still lying there. The information was copied from the book. At the bottom it said... "I will come for you...mudbloods come first... I gasped, and slammed the book. I ran up to the dorm, and put the book in the chest, at the end of my bed. I then ran back to the corridor, and up to Astronomy. |
"Yes you might want to stay away from the windows!" I told Terra when I noticed she was avoiding them.
|
I nodded, and as well kept my gaze away from the windows. I shivered... But why?
|
OCC: It June? Already? I thought it was only September! ^_^;....oh well
|
OOC: I'm going crazy.... Is it June? I could edit it if it isn't in the RP...
|
OCC: I dunno, because if it was June, then the term would be almost over.
|
OOC: I'll change that. ._.;
|
OCC: Okay
IC: Up at Astronomy, I couldnt concentrate. Class hadnt started yet, and I was looking for my friends, trying to whipe my worried face away. |
"Hey there's Karli!" I told Terra. I ran over to her. "Hey Karli!"
|
"Well... Let's go over to her." I said hurriedly, not wanting him to see me shivering and looking pale. Taking Josh by the arm, and led him over to her. "Karli!" I cried. I wanted to tell her about the accident, and much more. I needed to talk to her; I hadn't in a while.
|
"Hi!" I said. "You dont look okay..."
My face looked even more worried now. "Whats wrong?" |
"Weelll..... Um, I guess.... See, a hour ago...." I continued, telling Karli about the window incident (Or was it a incident?) "So, I almost fell out, and don't know why-how- I even got there. But Josh saved me, thankfully." I finished gratefully.

At this news, I gasped.
"It cant be what you think it is...its impossible...." I thought. I put my arm around Terra's shoulder. "I really hope you are okay! Thanks Josh, you saved her life..." I said |
"It was nothing!" I said blushing
|
I smiled.
"Where is the Professor?" I asked. The Professor was late to start class, and we were waiting outside the classroom. |
"Josh, thanks again." I said, seeing him turn redder.
"Well, even if you didn't save me, it would only be a mere trifle worse than that time were I was on my broom, out side the Hospital Wing window, and I fell off- don't know why-..." I trailed off. Sure, I was lieng about the 'mere trifle' part. But I didn't want to worry them. |
Cassidy's face turned cold at Flame. She did not take his hand shake, but bowed her head a little, though she kept her eyes up, looking at him suspiciously.
"You're right," she told him, her expression set as if it were stone. There was no anger in her voice, just mild confidence. "We did get off to a bad start." She surveyed his build, noting his muscles. Dragon or not, she was unimpressed. She took a sip of water from her goblet. "I do not make friends easily with those who take pleasure in harming others, even in revenge, because revenge is stooping to your foe's level. Violence is a last resort, because it solves nothing. Don't think I don't know what the students from Slytherin are like. I've had the pleasure of meeting and engaging in self-defense against them today," she said, her gaze cool and unaffected by his persistant nature. "So do as you will, act as you will, just realize that you will not mix well with me if you persist in such a manner." She took another sip of water, letting the cooling liquid slide down her throat slowly. She stood up and gathered her things for Astrology. "As for Karli," she said coldly, her tone becoming more firm. She looked at him square in the eye with no sign of fear, though the tension between them was becoming very great. "I am friends with her, on her good side, because I do not persist her with questions. My best advice for you and your human counterpart would be to leave her alone until she wishes to share the information with you. Farewell." With that, she went to the Astronomy tower, meeting up with Berii, Johann, and Terra, as well as a girl she did not yet know. "Hello," she said to them, taking her seat. "Where's the professor? I thought I was going to be late. Oh, by the way...at dinner tonight, I had the fortune of formally meeting Flame. Erm...it was an interesting encounter. Does he persist after people so much often?" |
I took a seat next to Cassidy.
"Well, I suppose Johann does." While answering, I took out everything, and then glanced at the doorway to see if the proffesor was there yet. |
Cassidy sighed and looked at her textbook. She felt a yawn escape her lips. She covered her mouth, and let her hand slide up to hold her forehead as she leafed through the pages.
"Maybe class is going to be cancelled? It was getting kind of cloudy when I was outside. Looked like it was going to rain. I hope that doens't make my detention with Snape to miserable," she said dismally, as rain drops began to pelt on the roof. OOC: I'm heading out for about two hours...don't go too far without me, please? :) |
Flame walked into the Dumbledore's office. Dumbledore looked up at Flame with an odd expression. "It me, Fla...." Flame started.
But Dumbledore interupted saying, "I know it's you Flame." Flame stared at him blankly and then said, "I have problems already and I haven't been human for a day yet." Flame took a seat near his desk and reclined on it tired by everything that's happened so far. "Well for one, you shouldn't have harmed those two slytherin boys. Their fathers are millionaires." Dumbledore said. "They don't frighten me. After all I am a dragon, and fear no man." Flame said sitting upright, "Your even more conceited then Johann. Your not making any friends by going around like you have. People don't want to be friends with people as conceited as you and Johann." Dumbledore said as his eyes grew dimmer and his face turned serious. "I tryed to make friends at first. I went up to Karli and tryed to carry on a conversation, and she just flipped on me. Then she started on Johann, and I got protective. Then this new girl comes in and trys to tell me off, because I got protective." Flame explained. "What gets me angered the most is that Johann has done nothing wrong, and they think he's so horrible." He added getting frustrated. "I don't know what Johann might have done, but did you find out what?" Dumbledore said relaxing. "They just yelled at me, like I was a criminal, when I haven't had a chance to do anything wrong." Flame said. "Terra and Batesy almost ignore me. I haven't seen Berii, I haven't seen Will or Devon to come to think of it." Flame said relaxing as well. "Then how do you know everyone hates him if only two people dislike him?" Dumbledore said. "Cause everywhere I go they seem to be there. And when I try to be friendly they don't want any part of it." Flame said becoming depressed by the talk they were having. "The only advice I can give you is try and avoid Karli. It is in your best interest to stay away from her until she gets things settled down." Dumbledore said. Flame nodded and walked out of his office. |
OOC: Okay!
BIC: "Detention with Snape?" I asked her. The raindrops kept on coming down on the roof steadily. |
As Flame exited the office he looked around and thought, Conceited? Me? Never! Well maybe I could tune it down some, even though I am a dragon and have no reason to fear anyone, I should still be nice and try to make friends. Since Flame didn't know any of the classes or were he was supposed to go, he just wondered around the school aimlessly getting more bored by the minute. I wonder where Johann's friend, Will, is? Flame said as he wondered down a hall.
