The Heart of the Forbidden Forest.

First topic message reminder :

Shadow into the forest, running as fast as she could. The night was cold around her, but she didn't care. It was coming, and she could feel it. She had to get away from the school. She couldn't bear it if something happened and it was her fault. Her feet pounded on the mosy ground and she hurtled over fallen trees. She was nearly there, nearly there...

"I'm Alice Lovegood. Before you say anything im adopted just to make it easyer on you>" Alice said enthusiastic she was proud of her name sometimes.

"I dont know any other Lovegood's," Holly said frowning, "I dont think so anyway. Holly Bristol, as you might know already."
"Ah," Riley said, "We havent met, Riley. Farthing. Just Riley though."
He held out his hand grinning.

she took his hand and shook it. " As in luna lovegood alot of people get confused on how we are related." Alice said anserw the question not asked with a smile.

"Ah I see," Riley said smiling at her, "Well it's very nice to meet you Miss Lovegood."
Holly coughed.
"Shouldnt we be getting back to school?" she asked the two.

Alice giggled "yeah probibly but i dont feel like it" Alice said looking in the direction of the school.

Holly raised an eyebrow and Riley nodded.
"Let's wait here for a while then," he said smiling and sat down, "So Alice, tell me a little about yourself."

"A little ok well lets start with a simple one im a vampire you with me so far?!" Alice said with a smile.

Holly smiled and sat on Riley's other side.
"Right." Riley said, "With you so far. How did you become one?"

"well i got in some truble with a vampire and he bit me and Jona swopped in and killed him but it was to late i was already infected with the piosen" Alice said looking at her cresent scar on her hand. " thats the short version. how about you?" She said with a smile.

Natalie looked at them.
"Um....just so you know Holly, Shadow is still in the Riddle house....and she wants to stay for a while...and she doesn't want any of us there," Natalie warned, "and yes...lets go back to Hogwarts everyone."

"fine i guss i would have to go back eventully!" Alice said with a hlaf smile. Alice hated school.

Natalie looked at Alice.
"You'll be safer up at the school, trust me," she said, smiling slightly.

"i guss thats true but scince when is safe better?" Alice said trying to distract them.

"Safe is better when Voldemort is near," said Natalie simply.
She put a hand out to help Holly up.

"yeah well fine you got me!" Alice said defeted.

Natalie half smiled.
"Besides...school makes us all better wizards and witches," said Natalie.

"yeah well not the fun way." Alice said with a difrent expresion.

"We must count ourselves lucky Alice..." said Natalie.
She frowned.

"I guss" Alice said as she sighed.

Natalie smiled.
"Besides....if we didn't come here first...we wouldn't be allowed to use magic," said Natalie.

"yeah but have forever i guss i have to never mind lets go back then." Alice said with half a smerk.

((I missed a lot, lets just say i apparated back too lol))

"So, we going?" Hayley said, getting up, "Although, I'm a bit worried about Shad," she added.

"She'll be okay," Holly assured them, "I trust her."
She held out her hands expectantly. There was silence for a moment and then she said, "Well you could help me up!"
"Oh!" Riley said, and did so, "Alright?"
"Peachy," Holly said sarcastically, "But ... dont drop me okay?"
"You're safe with me," Riley said grinning. He draped an arm over her shoulder. "Lets go nerds- to the school- AWAY!"

Natalie walked in front of the line, wand lit and held aloft.
"Stay behind me," she told the others.

"Sounds fair," Riley said nodding at Natalie, showing all of his amazing teeth in the smile that accompanied.
"You the new ring leader babe?" Holly asked smiling, still unable to walk properly, "Im all shaky, is that normal for afterwards?"

"Yes..." said Chucky, "since you were in a doll and such...yes....your need to get used to being bigger again."
Natalie looked at Holly.
"Just 'til Shadow gets back..." said Natalie, smiling slightly.
Natalie smiled back at Riley, showing her....braces.

Riley winked at Natalie.
"Why will Shadow being back make any difference?" Holly asked confused.

"Because...lets face it...she's the one woth the most common sense," said Natalie, frowning at the question.
She carried on walking.
"We cannot linger guys....there are a whole manner of dark creatures in this forest..." she said.

"I suppose thats true," Riley said thoughtfully.
"We're goin as fast as we can!" Holly snapped.
"Time of the month?" Riley asked sympathetically. For once Holly nodded.

"No....crankiness is also normal afterwards," said Chucky, grinning, "hense Tiffany."

Then he stopped, and Natalie grinned.

"I'll gave you a thousand dollars if you don't tell her I said that," said Chucky, looking at Natalie frantically.

"I'll think about it..." said Natalie, smiling evilly.

"I wont," Holly said, "A thousand isnt enough.....and I like pounds....and Euro's for the south."
Holly grinned evilly.
"Im telling Tiffany," she sang and started to prance around but Riley stopped her.
"Just in case," he said.

"The boy catches on quick," said Chucky, grinning at Riley.

Natalie grinned at Chucky.

"Barbie mode...now," she said.

"What....do I have to?" Chucky asked.

"Yes," said Natalie.

Chucky sighed and went still.

Natalie opened her back and put him inside.

"Ok...lets carry on," she said to the group.

"Did you just open your own back?" Holly asked, mouth open.
Riley's jaw had hit the ground.
"WEird," he commented.

"Wow," Hayley said, "Did you REALLY just open your own back?" she asked Natalie.
Or maybe, itr was magic.
Hayley was unsure.

I mean her book bag people.
"No...I'm not a robot....so no," said Natalie, glaring at Holly.

Hayley nodded, "Oh right, I get it," she said, frowning as if she still didn't get it.

"I dont get it either," Holly assured Hayley.
"Nor do I," said Riley.
"Nor me," said Darren.
"Who the-"
"Yes, ITS ME!"

Hayley grinned, "Darren!" she said, patting him on the back, "It's been a while!" she said.

"Who the hecko is that?" Riley asked pointing to the random Darren that wasnt Holly's half brother.
"Beats me," Holly said shrugging.
"And me," Darren said.
"WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING!"

"Where the heck did you come from?" Natalie asked Darren.
She frowned, thinking.

((what Darren is it!))

"Well, when a mum and dad love-"
"Yes thank you," Holly said weakly clutching Riley for support.
"We get that."

Hayley frowned, "You okay Bris," she asked, holding her arm.

Natalie smiled and walked on, guiding the ground.
"Ok people...keep close," she warned again.

Hayley nodded. Suddenly something grabbed her around her ankle, and she fell, yelling at whatever it was to get off her. "Nat!" she cried, grabbing at tree roots on the ground.

Natalie whipped round and pointed her wand at the roots.
"REDUCTO!" she yelled, and the roots let go of Hayley.

((its not roots darling, Hayley is just holding onto roots to get up lol. the thing holding onto her is like...human or whatever))

Hayley yelled as Natalie's spell didn't work. "It's not working Nat!" she cried.

Natalie ran to Hayley and pointed her wand to the hands of the thing that held her.

"Incendio!" she yelled, and the hands let go, and whatever it was yelled in pain as the fire caught the skin.

"Oooh man," Riley said and leaned Holly against a tree, "Dont move, promise me."
"Promise." Holly said dully as Riley took out his wand and tried to help.

NAtalie smiled at Riley.
"Thanks," she said, smiling at him.
