Forbidden Forest

"Thanks a lot" Oddie said

"Its no problem"

"Ok. How long can i stay" Oddie asked

"As long as you need or want to."

"I guess i could stay until students are allowd out into the halls again which will be another 3 or 4 hours"

"However long you need to"

"Ok. Should we get some sleep. I hear we have some big tests tomorrow" Oddie said

"Okay see ya." lily heade dup to her dorm

Oddie sat down on one of the couches thinking about what lay ahead for her int the furture.

Lily waited until Oddie had fallen asleep, then she quietly crept down the stairs and out of the common room. She snuck around the castle and back on to the grounds.

The forest was silent as she walked into it. She took in her surroundings. She heard nothing....

She went deeper into the forest. Something cracked.

She snapped her head around.

"Hello," she said into the seemingly darkness

Oddie fell asleep and after a few min she had a nightmare so she went to find lily but once she made it to her dorm she saw that she wasnt there. "Lily" Oddie whispered. she must have gone to the woods oddie thought to herself so she quickly made her way there.

Sky Black made her way into the forest. She pulled out her wand and pointed it straight forward and uttered "Lumous" A beam of light now shone out of the tip of her wand and it was easier for her to see into the darkness. It was a rather warm night and there was a soft wind blowing. Jaden had asked her to meet him here when she spoke to him in the room of requirement so she made her way through the forest to see what he wanted to talk to her about.

Deeper and deeper she walked until she came to the spot where they had ended the Weasley twins lives. She had to smile. Yes, it was an evil thing that her, Jaden and Fated had done to them, but that was the begining of her journey into the dark side. Doing what she had done she had earned the Dark Lord's trust and it was definitely worth it in her eyes.

She took off her cloak and layed it carefully on the forest floor. She sat down on it and waited for Jaden to arrive.

Lily decided to brush the noise off and headed deeper into the forest. Hopefully Oddie hadn't missed her....

He was sitting in a tree in that very clearing actually, his leg swinging over the edge of the branch with boredom. He had missed a lotm being in Azkaban. But his endevors had also taken a toll on him. His blond hair and begun to turn white and his eyes began to show some of the great fatigue that shone brightly in Aiden's eyes. But Aiden was weak, he was not andthat could be seen as well. Determination.

He looked around as he heard footsteps, readying his wand incase the need arose, but it wouldn't...at least not right now. It was Sky, just the person he wanted to see. He had told her to meet him here after he had finally escaped and found her and Fated. He jumped down from the tree, landing with a soft 'thud' and came up behind her.

"Was afraid you wouldn't show.' He whispered in her ear, very softly in an almost alluring sort of way. He had missed her and he'd be damned if he was going to lose her.

Once AOddie made it into the forest she started to yell out lily's name

"LILY, LILY WHERE ARE YOU" Oddie shouted.

she kept running hopeing to run into her as soon as possible

Lily heard Oddie and wanted to shut her up. Quickly but quietly she caught up to her and threw her arms around her head.

"shhhhh!" Lily whispered undtangling herself from Oddie.

"LILY" Oddie shouted when she saw her. "where did you s=come from and why do i have to be quite" she added

"I heard someone else earlier," Lily said, "and I was trying to see who it was..."

Sky looked up as she heard a rustling noise in a tree near where she sat. She then heard a thud sound and a moment later Jaden was right behind her whispering softly in her ear.

She turned around and faced him and gave him her usual smile. "Of coarse I was going to come. I have missed you." She looked into his eyes for a moment and then gestured for him to sit down next to her. She did really miss him. They had grown quite inseperable lately.

She reached into her cloak and pulled out a bottle of elf made meade and smiled at Jaden. Got this at the Hogs Head, thought you might want to share it. She opened the bottle and took a large sip from it and passed it over to Jaden.

He gave her a grin before sitting down next to her, sweeping white har from his eyes. "I have been gone quite awhile." He replied, taking the bottle and taking a long swig. Nothing like elven mead. "Afraid you'd moved on, actually." He gave her a teasing nip on the neck as he passed the bottle back. He leaned back against the tree behind him and looked over at her.

Sky watched as Jaden took a long swig off the bottle. He looked very tired to her, but Azkaban would do that to anyone. She wished she knew he was there, she would have gone there to help him escape like she had done before but he was here now and that is what mattered.

"Moved on? What would give you that idea?" She asked him in response to the question he asked her. She laughed as he nipped her neck gently in a teasing way and watched as he sat back against the tree. His hair was falling into his eyes like it usually did but you could still see his deep green eyes peaking through the strands.

She took the bottle from his hand and took a long haul from it and passed it back to him. She moved herself a bit closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder, and spoke to him in a soft tone. "Jaden, I know we have gotten pretty close lately but what I need to know is how do you feel about me? Back a while, right here in the forest actually when we shared our first kiis, i asked you this same question. Your reply was that you would disclose that information in an indefinate time period." Sky smiled a bit thinking back on their conversation, Jaden was like that, but she needed to know how he felt now and not at a later period.

"Oh" Oddie said looking around to see if there was anybody nearby

"Are you going to help me look or are you going to go bsck up to the common room?" Lily asked Oddie barely in a whisper.

She was nervous.

"Ill help, who are we looking for" Oddie said noticing lily was getting nervous

"I'm not sure who's out here...."

"Well, lets look out for each other, were bond to be ok" Oddie said looking around. "Hopefully ther isnt any deatheaters"

lily forced herself not to laugh. Little Oddie- afraid of the death eaters. with one standing right next to her.

"yeah," lily said

"Ok" so where should we go" she asked her

Lily pointed to a patch of thick trees coming up a little ahead.

"We hide in those. I can sense people in there..."

"Ok" Oddie said going in that direction

Lily lead Oddie. She carefully climbed into the thick trees and bushes being careful not to make a sound. She came almost to a little bit of a clearing. Well, not really. She heard Sky talking.

"Whats that" Oddie whispered hearing something as she climbed up behind lily

"Sky and..." Lily paused...she couldn't place where she haad heard the other voice before.

"Dont oyu know the other person" Oddie said looking fearfully above her

"I can't remember...."

"Im surew it will come to you, should we approch them"

"Yeah." Lily said thinking hard

"Ok" Oddie said looking uneasy.

"Who is that?" she said and then swore.

"What" Oddie asked when lily swore "Something wrong"

"I'm mad. Who is he?" she said trying still to listen to see who it was.

"We could leave, and not come back" Oddie said hopeing that it wasnt a deatheater

lily looked at Oddie. "and wast this time. Heck no!"

"Ok" Oddie said looking down at the ground to make sure no one was below them

Lily saw a low branch and jumped a little to grab it. She pulled herself up. She climbed a bit higher.

Oddie stood on the branch and watched lily climb higher. Oddi e was frozen to the spot and dint know if she should continue

Lily stopped and looked down squinting.

"Who is he?" she asked a bit too loudly..

Oddie satyed on the brancha dn she heard Lily say loudly how is he and hoped that they wouldnt hear her

He sighed, setting the bottle down between his feet. "I don't know. Just thought Fated was giving you "the look" back there." He looked through his hair at her, quirking a brow. He didn't want that, of course, but its not like it hadn't happened to him before. "I certainly hope not though."

He reached out, moving a lock of her hair from her eyes gently. He had had a lot of time to think the the past few weeks and he had come to some conclusions that he wasn't exactly happy with. But that was a conversation for another day.

"How do I feel about you?" He lifted the bottle back into his lap and looked over at her, talking a long drink from it. Things like this wern't his strong suit, but he also didn't want to lose Sky to...anyone else. "I feel things for you that I never had for anyone else." He took another drink, licking his lips absently, wondering if she was trying to get him drunk. "I don't quite know how to put it."

~Fated had returned to see if the Weasley twins had been eaten or were decomposed enough to not be recognized. It was apparent that he'd chosen the wrong time to return for he saw Jaden and Sky there. He wondered why he was feeling odd around them. After all, he'd been gone for a long time and had returned only to be feeling different. Was it just the training and the gruesome bloodshed that had thwarted his mind- even more than usual? His encounters with the aurors had made him bitter and he'd killed several of them. He shook his head, stepping back and deciding not to go the direction that the couple was.~

~What nagged him more was the way he was feeling about those two. Surely, he wasn't just going to go up and snatch Sky away from Jaden; one of his best friends. That thought had crossed his mind more than once but he shook his head and tore his blue eyes from them. He then walked on, nearing two half eaten carcasses. The Weasley twins~
