Rockelle tilted her head slightly, hoping that it would help her hearing. The screams were faint, but they were defiantly real. "Is there some sort of torture chamber down there or somethin'?"

Lorian's eyes lit with exightment. "Who knows? Maybe that Qwerriel kid got stuck in the dungans again." She shrugged. Heading towards a painting of a unicorn chasing around a knight, and a madien looking pathetically bored, Lorian called over her shoulder.
"C'mon! Illana said it was just behind here-" she turned to the madien and spoke clearly.
"We wish to enter the secret passage-way!"
The madien looked interested for a moment, then looked back to her nails.
"Nope."
Lorian scratched her head. "Rocky, what was the password again?"
Gwin nudged the patronus forward, following Sirius, though not too close. Gwin thought angrilly,
So Voice, you're back?
Yep, things were boring else-where.
I see. Gwin paused, looking at the circlet, then at the dog/wolf thing she was riding.
Why did it turn into this? My patronus is usually a sting-ray.
Are you sure?
Yes. Gwin answered hesitantly.

Sirius, besides having other things to think about, yelped as a large grey pig with tusks appeared in front of him and snorted. A half-snarl was on his lips when he remembered Gwin. Damnit. Afraid to turn around, he called, loudly, "Gwin! Gwin! Come up here! There's some kind of beast here!" he said, in a rather high voice, with a rather dry mouth.

Gwin heard, and leaning over the patronus urged it forward. They came to a skidding stop next to Sirius, but saw nothing.
Gwin frowned.
"I don't see anything, Black." she glared at the Marauder. "Not funny. I thought you might have been in trouble or somthing." Gwin crossed her arms angrilly.

"What?" asked Sirius, incredulous. He pointed...at nothing. "It was there! Right there!" he exclaimed, looking around wildly. "It was...it was big! A pig! It was a big ugly grey pig!" He looked around. "I'm not lying! It had tusks!"

Gwin raised an eyebrow, not even looking around.
"Uh-huh. Yeah." she rolled her eyes. "Yep, tusks. Whatever. Look, boyo." she leaned forward, proding him in the chest. "I think you should stuff those scary stories for later. This is serious!" Then pulling back and looking up, she pleaded in a joking manner,
"Why me?"

Sirius's eyes widened as the pig reappeared, seemed to smirk at him, and disappeared again. "It's still here!" he said, shouting fanatically. "It's still here. Just look around for a little while. It'll come back!" he yelled, looking around with eyes the size of dinner plates.

"Y'know what? I think this maze has really screwed you up." she said with a calm certanty. "But, if you really think I'll see it. We'll wait." Gwin shifted into a more comfortable possition, and crossed her arms. After a moment, she raised her eyebrows, "As much fun as this is, we really ought to find the others. And if, by chance, this piggie appears- Great, 'cause I think you're nuts!"

Sirius turned around and stuck out his tongue. "Just wait." A few minutes passed. "It's here. Just you wait. It'll show up right around now," Sirius promised, taking his wand out and holding it out uselessly.

"All right you." Gwin said, speaking to the air. " Take all the time in the world to appear, but I'm leaving in two minutes. Frazzle Sirius here till he gets beamed up, but I'm not holding my breath."
She nudged the patronus forward, feeling guilty to leave Sirius with his strange imagination, but felt confadent that doing so would shut the inner voice off from trying to get her crushing on Sirius again.

Finally, after waiting another minute and a half, the pig appeared, clearly and distictly for nearly five seconds before disappearing yet again. Sirius looked back at Gwin excitedly. "Did you see it? Did you see it?" he asked, all thoughts of danger far from his mind, and delighted to see the pig again.

Gwin looked faint. She had seen the head.
"Ohmygawd!" she yelped, scurrying back to Sirius and offered a hand. "I think it's one of those whatsa-mahoozits that Nadia babbles on about saving!" She looked around wildly.
"They're dangerous. Are you going to get on!?" yelled Gwin.

Sirius was alarmed when he heard it was dangerous. Well, it did have tusks. "No. You go on ahead. I'll catch up," said Sirius, thinking about subduing the pig for a little while in his more ferocious form.

Gwin had the same thought, at almost the same moment. Then her ankle gave another twang, and she decided against it. Then again, looking back it would have been foolish anyhow.
Gwin gave an exasperated sigh.
"Sirius, you are impossible!" she yowled, the boar miles away in her mind.
"It would be safer if we traveled in a pack, but no! You think you can take this thing on alone! Guess what!- You're not the only one capable of defending! Just because-"
She rambled on a while, I'll spare you fine details.

Sirius looked away while Gwin shouted. "Thank you, mother, but I'm not the one with the twisted ankle. I'm not leaving, and...it sounds weird, but I can't do anything with you here!" he said, exhasperated.
