Filch's Office

Violet jumped at Phoenix. "Big words for someone who has no wand or magic" Violet said.

Phoenix Glared At Her Again And Spoke
"Filthy Half-Blood"

Violet pushed Phoenix back into the wall.

(we need a thing were each of us know when to post. Eliz-Holly-Phoenix-me. fair deal)

Holly obediently followed Eliza into the office.
"Pureblood," she added to Violet, "But I dont think it matters very much...,"

(Yeah absolutel, good idea, and nice to meet you)

Violet kicked at Phoenix leg and tripped her. "You listen her you little pureblood bit**, when my father heres about this, you will become my play thing. I beleive Anutie Bellatrix wouldnt mind either" Violet said.

"Not when father is involve. She bend at my father's will" Violet siad.

"Uuuum put a bugging device in so we can hear whats being said?" she suggested, using one of Natalie's ideas.
Holly summoned the bugging device and set it on top of the filing cabnet.
"Perfect,"

Violet overheard them and said. "Muggle stuff doesnt work in hear, you know that." She siad and then focused on Phoenix.

"Blah Blah Blah. Auntie Bella doesnt love and beleive me, she will. She owes me....." Violet siad. "And you are the one I want, my play toy! haha. "Violet said and lifted her sleeve. "Say goodbye to life." Violet siad.

(umm i was going to touch my mark, not kill you)

Violet raised an eyebrow and touched her mark.

Violet blocked it and smirked. "Too late. Hello father." Violet siad.

Holly, a simple second year, was rather bewildered by all of this.
Her mouth opened wide at the new sight which greeted the hallway, and George gasped.
"Eliza!" Holly hissed, wishing her friend was back in the "safety" of the office with her.

Holly grabbed her arm when she came in.
"You alright?" she asked, face pale, "Scary stuff,"

"Exactly," Holly said nodding in agreement, "And I hear Voldy has a fierce temper! It was him and his follower people who killed my 'rents,"

Holly glanced at her friend.
"Shes calling you," she pointed out, though it was the most obvious thing theres ever been.

"Help Me" Said Phoenix

"We have to help her," Holly said helplessly, not knowing who this Phoenix character was, "Dont we?"

"George can take us," Holly said, "He can teleport us anywhere in Hogwarts, even some places outside it,"

"As accurately as he tries," Holly replied shrugging, "Anywhere but here!"
She grabbed George's tail and held out a hand for Eliza to take.
"Quick as possible!

"Quickly" Said Phoenix

There was a whirring, a sound like a manhole being opened, and they flew through the air at 600mph.
Holly closed her eyes as the journey passed, George's tail and Eliza's hand being the only non moving things in the world-
and then it stopped.

(i'll make a new thread for the head's office - post there)

Natalie appeared back in time with George clinging onto her shoulder. They were outside Fitches office. They must be at least two hours in the past, and sure enough, she saw the past Holly, the past George on her shoulder, running towards them. She quickly hid behind a statue.

"Its Holly," said George excitedly.
"George....Shh," said Natalie quietly to the monkey, "this is a time-turner George....were back in time....two hours....and we cannot be seen or heard.....or...or who knows what could happen....and thats you and Holly out there, in the past."

"Oh," said George, and Natalie hoped he followed what she had just told him.

Shadow landed clumsily on the ground outside Filch's office with Holly. Shadow tripped over something and fell heavily, but she got up again.
"I hate teleporting through time." She muttered, brushing herself off. "You ok Holly?"

Holly stood up and brushed herself off.
"Yeah...thank you. You alright?"

"I guess so." Shadow replied.

Natalie saw the two.

"Shadow...Holly....you'se got back," said Natalie, relieved.

She realised she still had her friendship necklace clutched in her fist. The chain was chopped, but she repaired it with her wand. The bloodstains on it were always going to be there, on the necklace, as a constant reminder that Holly Bristol had helped save her life.

"Anyone got a phoenix to cry on me," said Natalie, pointing at her neck.

Shadow waled over to Natalie and had a look at the cut.
"I'm no phoenix, but I think I can heal that for you."
