"Well, makes him that much easier to follow, doesn't it?" said Ryan lightly. "Summer, you'll be all right here without us? I mean, you'll find the professors...wherever they're hiding..." He frowned. That seemed odd to him, too, but what could he do...?

"Summer had better come with us. And I don't think they're hiding...Darius where are you going?" Sapphire spoke with a grim expression.

"Are you crazy? She's in no position to fight again," he argued. "We need someone to stay back here, anyway. It makes sense." He frowned. "Which one was Darius?"

"I'm fine here," Summer argued as she defiantly struggled to stand. "Besides you need someone to bring you information and news from Hogwarts right?" she pointed out as she fully stood, "the closest we're going to get is through the other Slytherins!"

"Darius is the blonde otherwise known as the lepoard. He going toward the willow, follow me. And bring Summer!" Sapphire sprinted forward and dove under the Whomping Willow.

Ryan groaned. "Look, I think she's got a point...she wants to stay here, and she's our mole in the Slytherin's garden!" Sapphire dove underneath the Whomping Willow.
"And there's no way I'm going to be disemboweled by a tree!" he hollered.

"Listen to Sapphire, listen to Ryan, listen to Sapphire," Neylie said weighing her options. "I pick Ryan, they have a point," she finally decided helping Summer towards the castle, "Could you help?" Neylie said looking towards Ryan, "I can help you past the tree."

Ryan rushed forward to help, picking up Summer's other side. "I will never," he said emphatically, "get used to once-inanimate objects growing sentient. There's a way to get past the tree? What do you have to do, ask it nicely? Is there a password? Do you bribe it with top-notch fertilizer?" He was growing hysterical. He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
Don't think about it. Neutral conversation topic. "So, Summer, how're you feeling?" Idiot!

"Wonderful," Summer answered sarcastically, but she was smiling since she noticed how Ryan immediately noticed his mistake. "I don't need that much help," she muttered because she was embarassed and not because it was true.
When they reached the hallway where the Slytherin dormatories were, she had them let her go. "You shouldn't come any further. It'll expose me," she pointed out as she teasing stuck her tongue out at them. "Thanks, and good luck to you guys," she smiled as she leaned against the wall.

Ryan let go, making a large show of dusting imaginary dirt off his robes. "Well, you're safe now, at any rate," he said, speaking quickly to mask his blunder. "Remember, we're counting on you for clues." He smiled weakly. "I suppose now we have to go woo a tree and follow those crazy Potters."

Summer laughed and watched her new comrades head off to the whomping willow. After they had disappeared from sight, she took a deep breath and trudged her way to her dormatory.
"Serpenestra," she said idly and the door to the Slytherin common room opened. She was expecting the room to be mostly empty and thus cavernously silver and gold. She was definitely surprised to see so much black. It took her a moment to realize it was the robes of nearly every Slytherin.
Before she could figure out how to respond, the Slytherin housemaster(?) rushed forwards and caught her before Summer collapsed from exhaustion. "What were you doing outside?!" Professor Garafena demanded, shocked to find her own student to be wandering outside when they were all warned to stay inside the dorms.
"The headmaster was attacked and I stayed to make sure everything was okay," Summer began rambling while she remembered she had lost her snake somewhere. "Then Death Eaters came..." she murmured softly, but the other students heard and it quickly spread through the entire place. Summer didn't have to even look up to know some of them were feeling quite smug and arrogant despite that a good number of them were fearful.
"Why are you in such a state then?" Professor Garafena asked fervently.
"I kinda got tortured a bit," Summer looked up and smiled sheepishly as if it was her own fault she had to suffer.
The professor obviously bit her lip to hold back from asking why she hadn't completely lost it yet. Summer answered automatically as if she had asked, "I clung to Voldemort's sanity. That's how I managed." Many of the students shivered at the name.
"You have to get some rest," Garafena finally remembered and led her to her own quarters so Summer could at least sit until she explained everything to Garafena.

Try as he might, Ryan couldn't come any closer to the tree than about five yards, the range of those deadly whipping branches. At his bravest, he managed to get almost to the trunk before a branch nearly took his head off. Luckily, he managed to get away leaving only a small piece of his scalp and several clumps of hair behind.
"What's so bloody special about this tree?" he said, frustrated. "And how are we supposed to get up close? No one said there'd be homicidal trees on campus; I think we deserve a fair warning."

Sapphire looked through the tunnel then started to scold Darius. "I thought I told you to freeze the tree. Dolt. Oh well what's done is done. I get the brooms. Accio brooms!" As the brooms came zooming in she had to duck and they all ran toward the shack.

(( I was looking through our old pages (during which Gaia died by the way scream ) for who our professors are so far. So posting it anyways in case you ever come across needin' to know.
Professor Jasper (?) = Transfiguration
Professor Garafena (f) = Syltherin; Charms
Professor Binns (m ghost) = History;
Headmaster (m)
I'll add it to my first post too... That's all we have right? I'm going to make up our Headmaster's name soon and it's going to be silly! So if you have any beef with that, name him first! xp ))

"Hey Ryan? I've never seen you around? What house are you in? I know Summer and Sapphire but I've never seen you around," Neylie asked while walking towards the long tunnel to the Shreiking Shack.
