Alone on the grounds

[Evelyn Brooke Spicket]

*Evelyn Spicket walked out of the tall oak doors and down the stairs. She was alone and wanted to find a place to think.*

Oh, how wonderful it is to be alone and think about school.

*The girl speaks to herself. Then she hears a howl. She tries to figure out what could be making the noise. She realizes that it must be a werewolf. She decides to walk around the building, staying close to the wall.*

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Livvie was strolling across the magnificent grounds outside of the castle, enjoying the fresh air, and sunny skies. She sings a muggle tune to herself.*

"Here we go again, infatuation touches me just when I thought that it would end. Oh, but then again it seems much more than that, but I'm not sure exactly what you're thinkin'."

*As she sings to herself she breaks into a little dance.*

*Suddenly her song and dance is interrupted by a loud howling. A chill runs up her spine, and she shuts her mouth quickly, freezing in place. Her eyes dart around the grounds before her, searching for the animal that could have been the cause for such a noise. As she stays in place searching the thought of what could have created such a blood curdling howl could have been creeps into her mind, and she shudders, thinking to herself.*

Werewolves don't sound like that do they? No, it couldn't possibly be... Could it?

*Without thinking she begins to run toward the castle, not looking behind her.*

[Evelyn Brooke Spicket]

*Evelyn looks around.

Can it be a werewolf, she thinks.

*She sees someone run towards the castle. Evelyn runs toward the person, hoping its anther frightened student. She runs closer. She sees that it is indeed another student.*

Hey. Did you hear that howl just a few moments ago? It was scary sounding.

*shudders*

*The young girl of fifteen years hears the loud screeching howl again. She wishes she could go inside. But, She can't. She doesn't want to get caught sneaking outside on a night like this one.*

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*walks out onto the grounds for a late-night stroll, unable to sleep*

*sees two rather pretty girls grouped together and decides to approach them*

*saunters up, confidence oozing from him, having just spent a stimulating couple of hours with Selene*

Hello, there. What're you two doing out here this late?

*realizes that he probably sounds like a prefect but shrugs it off... he was curious*

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Notices a witch as she is running toward the castle, and slows as the girl approaches her.*

*Her chest heaves breathlessly as she nods, clutching a stitch in her side.*

Y-yes! What in the soddin' name of Merlin was that!?

*Spins around as a reasonably good looking wizard finds them, her hand flying to her heart.*

FOR THE BLEEDIN' LOVE OF MERLIN!!!!

*Stands there shivering from her new scare.*

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*smiles kindly*

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to scare you.

*sits down on a nearby rock, enjoying the cool evening air*

You both look rather... bothered. Did I interrupt something?

*raises his eyebrows, thinking of reasons why they'd be so... upset*

[Evelyn Brooke Spicket]

*Evelyn sees that the witch saw her and slows down. She stops and catches her breath at the same time a wizard comes.*

I don't know. But it is dangerous to be walking out at night, you know. I don't know why I felt the need to be outside. I just had this feeling. My name is Evelyn. Evelyn Spicket. And you two are? I am from Gryffindor. A fifth year. 'Course I'm fifteen. *laughs lightly*

*She waits as the two gather there breaths. She looks around at the Forbidden Forest. She feels a shiver down her spine as she pants slowly back to her breath. She shudders as if she knew what was out there.*

Uh...no...we just...uh...met here together....um..who are you...I've never seen you..

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*feels a little less kind, hearing that the girl is a Gryfindor. Couldn't she at least be a nice Ravenclaw?*

*smiles wryly*

My name is Leo. Slytherin. Sixth year.

*sighs lazily*

I myself fancied a stroll. And, the grounds aren't too dangerous.....

*looks at them skeptically*

If you keep your wits about you.

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Nods to Evelyn.*

Yeah I've spotted you in the common rooms, names Livvie, sixth year.

*Smiles warmly.*

*Livvie glances at Leo's robes, and quickly to his face. Her eyes roll a bit as she notices, and hears that he is a Slytherin.*

*Maintains her sunny disposition as she replies to Leo's comments.*

Yes, well, that's all fine and dandy, but some of us get a bit edgy when there are loud howls about.

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*shrugs lightly*

Those howls are likely from the forest. Most of the creatures in there wouldn't dare come out into the open.

*thinks that perhaps that wasn't clear enough for these thick Gryfindors*

So... you're safe.

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Rolls her eyes at Leo, still smiling.*

I know we're safe, but that doesn't make it any easier to hear the howls.

*Brushes her snow white hair out of her eyes to pierce him with her icy blue eyes.*

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*sighs heavily, getting tired of their whining*

*looks up and recognizes how pretty the young girl is for the first time*

*studies her brilliant eyes for a second and then looks back down at his book*

It's a good thing that you're pretty... because you certainly aren't very bright.

[Olivia Lillywhite]

*Her eyes flash with anger quickly for a moment, and her bright smile falters.*

It's really fortunate you're so handsome... because that hides what a comlete sod you are.

*Beams at him before turning back to Evelyn.*

C'mon let's go.

[Evelyn Brooke Spicket]

*Evelyn hears the two bicker. Then she goes with the girl called Livvie.*

[Leo Ivanovitch]

*yells after them*

Don't get eaten by any butterflies! I hear that they can be absolutely deadly.

*rolls his eyes and turns his attention to his book*
