(((Yay! I thought of something to right!!!! Yay! I finally got Harry Potter 2!! Yay! But... why aren't you guys writing???)))

The room was dark besides the slight glowing of the skulls. There were whispering panics from the children, but Snape quickly hushed them. They all stood still as the light around grew brighter. All of a sudden, before the room was fully visible, the skull's glow blackened. The room was pitch drak for a few seconds before lights flashed on.

The odd group stood there for a moment, trying to realize what just happened. When Snape could finally see again, he looked around the room.

Surrounding them were dozens of house elves. They all chatted for a few minutes before finally coming to a decision.

"Follow us! Follow us! We will clean you up and give you nice dinner! Come, come!" said the leader elf.

Snape turned toward the flabergasted children as they turned to him. "Where's- nevermind..." said Ron. They decided to follow the urging house elves, but Snape still had a doubt in the back of his mind.

(OOC: No one is posting... O_O;; I'm back!)

Lightly pushing open the doors to the headmaster's room, it was oddly quiet. Lupin walked in, slowly, ignoring the sleeping Phoenix, Fawkes, in the corner of the study. "Headmaster?" He called, but there was no answer. "Headmaster?" He called again. But there was still no answer. Sighing, he looked around. There were scattered books and papers all over the floors and tables. He refused to believe that Dumbledore could be, would be, irresponsible and cold-hearted enough to leave the children in a crisis like this.

Remus picked up a book and opened it. It was filled with nothing but first year transfiguration spells, that is, it was until he got to the third chapter. There was an old peice of parchment and something not legible written there. He folded it up and shoved it into his pocket. There was a scratching at the window. It awoke Fawkes who went into a frenzy of rapid squaks and "bwacks". Remus spun around and saw Seigfried straining to open the window with his claws.

Lupin flung open the window and the gryphon came tumbling in. "What's going on?!"

Cho gets off the train, remembering all that occured months before. She steps into her Hufflepuff common room to be welcomed back by all the great girls and guys she knew. She walked shaky to her room and placed her books and new clothes onto her postbed, as she undressed, she pulled her robes on and walked to the common room. She lightly tapped the table with her wand concocting a large drink in a martini glass. She took a sip and left the room. Odd feelings came over her, and she noticed a boy that looked similar to Harry Potter she felt her true love return, at that moment on a concious level she seemed to feel things towards him. She shook them off and went to the HeadMistress's dungeon to recieve a new schdule. ((hey guys ^^ i've returned :3 but please if i do bad point me in the right direction))

A swift wind blew through Hermione's thick hair, scraping her neck and sending a shiver down her spine. Only then did she remember: she's forgotten her outdoor robes! She could still see Hogwarts in the distance. She ran back to the castle to get her outdoor garments. As she passed the Quiddich Field, she noticed a good bit of commotion coming from it. Peeking through the banners, she saw the majority of the student body gathered there. People were whispering amongst themselves, and so they didn't notice when Hermione snuck into the Gryffindor section, her curiosity getting the better of her.

~ Hermione, confused

Friday, March 7, 2003 :: 04:36 p.m.

Seigfried dropped Remus off at the front entrace to the castle. However, Remus was having an odd feeling tickling his stomach, so he told the gryphon to fly to Dumbledore and he would meet him up there. Remus was going to find an alternate way into the castle. Was Voldemort really in Hogwarts? Was he inside, toruring the teachers and children? The thought sickened him.

Remus rounded the first stone pillar on the right side, that taking him a while, he stopped to catch his breath. He looked up, after hearing a mumbling noise, and peered around the corner. "I don't know why we're all being rallied to the Quidditch feild..." Said a voice.

"I know, it's really odd. Even for our teachers. I mean, there's no one here to play quidditch!"

Lupin outstretched an arm and caught one of the students who let out a surprised, "Professor!" And gasped at his torn robes tightly.

"What's going on?" Lupin Demanded.

The taller student, who had dashing brown hair and almond eyes replied, "We don't know. We're supposed to go to the quidditch feild."

Lupin's stomach took another leap, this time, also in hope. If everyone was at the feild, he would have no trouble getting in the easy way. He grabbed the two students by the collars and ordered them to behave and keep up. The trio climbed the stairs and into the hall where a line of teachers were filling out. "OH, Hello Remus. You will join us?" Asked McGonagal. Remus shook his head and thought she sounded a little dreary. He said he was sorry but was in a rush and left the slowly proceeding line. Something odd was going on, and he didn't like it.

~ Remus Lupin (yeah, it's long... -_-;)

A yelp escaped Fleur's mouth as she instinctively reached for her wand. Damn, I forgot she cursed to herself, when her hands met air. A cold hand gripped her heart, and there was this high pitched buzzing in her ear.
"What's going on?" Fleur asked, wincing, as the red glow of the skulls grew brighter. A weight encompassed her head, and she found it hard to breathe, almost as if someone had stuffed cotton down her throat.

~ Fleur

Tuesday, February 11, 2003 :: 02:49 p.m.

Flying on the Gryphon was bumpy and just plain uncomforatble. Remus sat in between the wings and the shoulder blades. The beast needed to continously flap his six foot wingspan in order to keep in flight, so it was nearly impossible for the exaughsted human to take a nap.

The duo flew through clouds and sunlight that was oddly comfortable. Sighing, Remus took a tighter grip Seigfried (the "noble" gryphon) and settled down. They had been flying for nearly a day non-stop and he was hungry and tired and worried.

His mind constantly wandered away from the beauty of the air to the school and the people in it. What was going on? Was Voldemort sincerely taking over? Were they all doomed? He wanted to urge Seigfried to go faster, but he noticed that the gryphon was already going as fast as he could and he didn't want to be in any more pain. NOR! Did he want the gryphon in a foul mood.

"We'rrrrre almost therrrrrre." Seigfried said, faintly, with a hint of near exaughtion in his voice.

"Thank you." Lupin said kindly, stroking the gryphon.

"Anything for a frrrrriend of Dumblydorrrrrrr." Remus made a note to ask Dumbledore how he made an aquaitence with a gryphon. His ride sure came in handy.

~ Remus J. Lupin

Tuesday, February 11, 2003 :: 10:58 a.m.

Draco stood in silence as he observed the domed room. It was as if the world had suddenly stopped for a few seconds - a few moments even. A voice shattered the silence.

"Any of this look familiar to you Draco?" said Harry in an angry voice.

Draco looked at Harry. "No."

In a flash, Harry took Draco's arm off of his shoulder and shoved him onto the ground. Draco felt pain surge through his ankle and he gave a yelp as the pain intensified. "You're such a liar Malfoy!" he shouted as he leapt forward in a lunge at Draco. "I know you know why we're here, and you better get us out of this place! NOW!"

Snape grabbed Harry and pulled him away from Draco as quick as he could. Harry's arms were still flying about, his hands balled up into tight fists. "That is quite enough Potter!" Snape said in a stern voice. "Now, stay right here!" He moved over to help Draco stand up again.

Draco glared at Harry as he leaned against Snape to keep from falling. Suddenly, the room was plunged into darkness. There were some loud whispered panic, but Snape quickly silenced everyone. Draco looked towards the small stone tables in the room. The eyes in the skulls had began to glow a blood red, and he could just barely see a forked tongue coming out of them...

~ Draco, wondering what's going to happen

Friday, February 7, 2003 :: 05:05 p.m.

Remus collapsed in the grassy meadow. The sky began to darken with clouds and hopelessness overcame him. What was he going to do? Where was he going?

Something flew over him. He opened his eyes and looked up to see and tan and feathery animal gracefully falling down to him. "Heeeeelo!" It growled. "I am looking for a Rrrrremus Luuuuupin!" It was a gryphon. Remus smiled.

"Here here!" He called. "I am Remus Lupin! Who sent you!" He had to remember his manners for Gryphons were highly tempermental, much like their hippogriff counterparts.

"I wassss sssent by my good frrrrriend Dumblydorrrrrrr." It flapped its wings and landed next to him. "I am Seigfrrrrrrried of Nobel Grrrrrrrryphon blood. Dumblydorrrrrr said his frrrrrriend was in trrrrrouble. I have come to help."

Remus was distracted a little by Seigfried's r's and s's. But he kept conversation as he climbed onto his back. "What's going on at Hogwarts?"

"Bad thingsssssss. We musssst make hasssssste."

~ Remus Lupin

Monday, February 3, 2003 :: 05:48 p.m.

As Snape's mind flashed about looking for a way out, he was not aware of his pacing. He wasn't worried about it either. All he was thinking about was an escape route, but what? His thoughts shattered when the prisoners stood up and began to leave. He followed, of course, but reluctantly. It would be pretty stupid to just leave and wander about the dungeons. Who knows? There could be traps, monsters, or they might even run into Voldemort himself! Although Snape's thoughts began to imagine the disasters, his body carried him forward.

Faintly, like the voice was behind a door, he heard one of the students keep jabbering on about escaping. He blocked it off, however, because it was not important. What was important was that they were nearing the end of the cold, dark dungeons. As the strange group proceeded forward, the light overwhelmed them. The light, which they had not seen in a while, blinded them. Only for a few seconds though. It wasn't that bright. When Snape's eyes finished tearing and the blurring stopped, they stood in a large dome. A red carpet covered the floor, tables stood atop of it. There were few flowers, but many skulls and rare items.

"Any of this look familiar to you, Draco?" Harry said, with great hatred.

~ Severus Snape

Sunday, February 2, 2003 :: 09:11 a.m.

Hermione awoke, blinking several times and trying to see in the darkness that surrounded her. She could hear voices in the distance--horrible, slithering voices that sent a chill down her spine just by uttering a single syllable. Shivering, Hermione wrapped her robes around her bare arms, although it wasn't that she was cold... more that she was alone, and--she would admit it--frightened.

Hermione slunk back against the damp wall and moved slowly forwards, feeling her way with her back and fingertips. She figured she was in one of the dungeons of Hogwarts, and she almost cried out in relief when she bumped against a stair. Tiptoeing up the steps, she came to a large wooden door--locked. "Alohomora," she whispered and heard the faint click of the lock opening. Pushing the door open, she emerged into the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Sighing, she took in the light that her eyes had been starved from.

Hermione walked towards the large double doors that lead to the outside, and walked down the outer steps. 'What now?' She thought to herself. Racking her brain for the right spell, she whispered, "Invenio," thinking hard of Harry and Ron, and hoping that they were together. They would need to be in order for the spell to work. She lay the wand on the palm of her hand, and it began to spin until finally it stopped, pointing directly out of the Hogwarts property. Taking a deep breath, Hermione began walking in the direction that her wand pointed. The wand would now act as a compass, attracted to the people Hermione had thought of while she cast the spell, Ron and Harry.

(OOC: I'd love to help. ^^; I hope the spell's okay. Invenio means "to come upon, find, discover." o_O Hope it works for you guys.)

~ Hermione, finally coming to her senses!

Saturday, February 1, 2003 :: 11:31 a.m.

The group settled down on the cold ground in one corner of the cell as they all wondered what they should do. Draco had settled for leaning against one of the walls so that Harry could have a break from helping Draco all this time.

Snape was busy pacing the ground, and Draco was almost sure that the stone floor would end up all smooth and polished by the end of this. After a while, Harry got up from the corner and jabbed Draco in the arm. "Well, how the heck do we get out of here?" he asked angrily.

Draco sighed and rolled his eyes. "Goodness, Potter, you assume that I should know?"

Harry clenched his teeth.

"Like I said before, we're in a dungeon."

"Your dungeon."

"Whatever," said Draco as he yawned. "I don't even know if it is. It could be one of my relative's manors - maybe even one of our holiday retreats... there's a lot of them, you know."

Ron stood up triumphantly. "I know!" he exclaimed. "We'll rush out of here, and just make it out of here. We'll... what phrase do those Muggles say? Ah... we'll play it by hair."

"Ear, Ron," Harry corrected. "And besides, we don't have any wands. I only have this little piece of metal with me... it might be of some help."

"Of course it won't help Potter," Draco said while he choked back a laugh. "I can see it. Potter verses You-Know-Who... You-Know-Who will say something like 'I'm going to Avada Kedavra you,' while you go something like 'Well, I'm going to slice you up even though I'm across the room.'"

Harry gave Draco an disgusted look, and he moved forward and swung Draco's arm around his shoulder again. "Hurry up everyone, we better get going," he said. "Which way do we go Malfoy?"

Draco sighed heavily. He didn't have a clue to where to go. As the group trudged down one of the dark corridors, Draco hummed quietly to himself.

(OOC: sorry for not blogging! ^^* I just got back from vacation last weekend and I've been busy with heading back to school. ;_;)

~ Draco, wondering how to get of this mess

Thursday, January 30, 2003 :: 06:05 p.m.

OOC: I don't mind helping. XP

Remus ran into the cool air of the day, huffing and puffing as he ran along. Some things he wished that he had, IE: More clothes, more food, and some magical poofy powder. He collasped and looked behind him to only see the Malfoy's mansion was STILL there. There was just no end to their property nor, he now noticed, to the size of the neverending towers. Wincing, he got back up to his feet and continued to walk, to where he hopefully thought the School.

~ Remus

Thursday, January 30, 2003 :: 04:06 p.m.

This is an OOC post, people! Read it... >_> Alright, first note, say hello to our new Hermione, Allie! *cheer, wave* Second note, I won't be posting much from Feb to March, but will try. This is due to highschool auditions and etc. Third note, I shall need two people to help me maintain LtM. One will get the forms and etc from the people who join, once I find out how to change the email it goes to and get someone to help. And the other will find pictures and write the profile that goes on the sidebar. Unless you wanna do both. ^_^; That's fine with me. You might also get the job of putting up the profile and such. This would mean access to the HTML format thing. Not the yuushi.org server though, I'll be doing that. As for me, I'll maintain and help the site, doing general things. Archives, layouts, etc, etc... Yeah. So anyone wanna help me? ;-;! By the way, I'm gonna be kicking out some people soon. I pretty much know the ones who blog now. If you do, you know you're ok. But the rest are out. Yep. This is Renee (Harry), signing out! *waves wand and poofs!*

~ Renee/Harry

Tuesday, January 28, 2003 :: 05:48 p.m.

OOC: Okay, you guys managed to make this a very confusing RPG. I'm Allie, and I'll be your Hermione... but I'm not quite sure where she is right now, so bear with me. The last time she was mentioned was when she was in Snape's Class, so I suppose that gives me a bit of free reighn, eh?

Hermione ran through the corridors of Hogwarts, determined to find her friends. She'd been looking everywhere--even the library, where she knew Ron would definitely not be, unless he had sufferend some strange sort of head trauma that caused him to switch personalities completely. But with all the incredibly odd things going on around her, she couldn't exactly rule that out at this point. They hadn't been there, though, and she hadn't exactly expected them to be.

She had to avoid Voldemort, his minions seemed to be everywhere, and she was all alone. Gripping her wand tightly in her whitened fingers, she continued to search, only imagining what could have become of her friends.

~ Hermoine, lost, confused and alone

Friday, January 17, 2003 :: 02:41 p.m.

Lupin sighed as he worked his way around the dark corridors of the dungeon. He was trying to find a way out. He needed to get back to Hogwarts. He had the feeling, a distinct feeling that the dreaded Voldemort was indeed involved in this plot. As so the Wolf had told him. He sighed, tripping and feeling along the damp walls of what he assumed was the dark dungeons of the Malfoy's house. He found a door and jammed his hand onto the knob. There, it opened and he found that it led to a long stairway. He walked up and found a pair of bilcow doors. He opened them and pulled his head out. He saw that was he was now in the kitchen. He sighed again, heaved himself out, and saw a swarm coming towards him. A swarm of house elves! He looked around, looking for another exit, but found still nothing.

The swarm moved faster to him and stopped in front. The largest of the elves, (who was white and had silver tints in his strands of hair) spoke to him. "Who you be, sir?"

Lupin looked unsure of what to say. He lookeddown to his dirty robes, his beat-up and blistered shoes, and how hewasdamp and wet. He shouldn't reveal himself, the elves might be too loyal to their masters. "Er- Joe..."

"Well sir Joe." Said the elf. "You, sir, must be leaving now. We are busy busy busy. Leave please. Door there." It pointed. Lupin, looking dumbstruck, nodded silently and headed towards the door.

Outside in the cool breeze, he began to run. He ran for his lives and the lives of his students. He had no idea where he was. He needed to find some mode of transportation. Running would not keep him for long, noting he wasnot as young as he used to be...

~ Remus J. Lupin--- INSPIRED!!

Monday, January 13, 2003 :: 10:37 p.m.

Fleur smiled back at Fred, winking, and with a sigh of relief stepped out of the cell. She gave Harry a little hug, and kissed him on each cheek.
"You clever little boy... 'ow did you get us out? Wit' that piece of metal? You are very intelligent" Fleur stretched her arms over her head, and took the time to view her surroundings properly. Her pink lips curled slightly in disgust, and Fleur uneasily rubbed her arms.
"Now we have to get out of this place altoget'er" Tossing her silver blonde hair over her shoulder, Fleur's ice blue eyes flickered slightly, as her brow furrowed, deep in thought.

~ Fleur

Sunday, January 12, 2003 :: 09:07 p.m.

Fred's grin faltered slight, but then he smirked once more, glad for an excuse to goof off. He waved his arms in the air and put on a fake horrified expression.

"Oh, Harry, Harry it was just awful, we were following Lupin around to see what he was up to and we found him with this evil boy and then the boy turned into that white wolf and it was attacking us and then the Death Eaters came and tied us up and knocked us out and we woke up in here!" As he explained, he did a few little dramatic hops and stomped around. He finally stood still and looked back at Harry, his lips spliting back into a grin.

"Was quite a rush, it was." He finally said with a wink at Fleur and Alicia.

~ Fred

Sunday, January 12, 2003 :: 09:38 p.m.

Harry glared at Snape for a second, before fishing out that helpful little piece of metal and picked the lock open.
He waited, still supporting Draco, as everyone slowly climbed out of their prison. "Are you all alright? What happened anyways?!"

~ Harry

Sunday, December 29, 2002 :: 06:11 p.m.

As Snape noticed all the students crowding the bars, he stood up wanting to know what all the fuss was. As he walked closer, he noticed Harry and Draco. He smiled a bit, trying to hold back his overflowing happiness. He hurried forward and the other students backed away.

"Bravo. Bravo. Very impressive. Remind me to give your houses' points if we get out of this alive. Do you have your wands?" The boys shook their heads sadly. Snape continued, "Well, is there anything out there that you can perhaps break the lock? You're lucky enough to be out there, but we all have to work together to get out of this stupid place. Now, hurry. Find something."

~ Severus Snape

Saturday, December 28, 2002 :: 02:19 p.m.

Remus monuvered around the dark corridors. Slowly and surely, he tip-toed, stumbling around looking for a way to free his trapped mates. There must be a key or something around.... He thought silently to himself. He could hear a carriage pulling up. He had no time to linger around. He needed to head back to the school.

~ Remus Lupin- uninspired....

Friday, December 27, 2002 :: 07:27 a.m.

"Look Ron! It's Harry! Now, didn't I say everything would turn out fine?" Alicia smiled and couldn't remember a time when she had been this happy to see a Slytherin. She poked Ron's arm as he stood there with a look of disbelief on his face.

"You silly, wipe that frown off your face..." she said, half laughing as she went to join Fred and Fleur who were standing by the bars greeting Harry and Draco.

~ Alicia

Thursday, December 26, 2002 :: 01:57 p.m.

Fred jumped up and was about to yell at Ron for acting so stupid and spazzing when he heard Harry yell. Fred ran over and sort of bumped into Fleur when he stopped, but he grinned down at her and put his hands on her shoulders as he looked up at the slimeball, Draco and Harry.

"Harry, old chap! What a pleasent surprise! Care to join us? We're having such a jolly good time." Fred almost felt like kissing the boys too, but decided against it.

~ Fred

Thursday, December 26, 2002 :: 11:51 a.m.

Fleur smiled at Ron, who was going insane. She turned back to Alicia and Fred, and sighed. She crawled on her knees to the bars of the cell, and gently rested her head against the steel bars. She began to hear murmurs, and she backed away from the bars, fearing it might be someone.... Like the white wolf Fleur stood only a foot away from the bars, and stood--no rather kneeled like a deer in headlights. Suddenly she saw Harry and Draco heading her way, and she took a great breath in relief. She edged back towards the bar and met the two. She grabbed Draco through the bars, and kissed him on the cheek. "You've saved us... You're that boy from outside, on the picnic, aren't you?" Fleur turned to Harry and gave him a kiss as well. "And you 'elped 'im! Or rather you both came to save us. No matter, I thank you both" Fleur smiled endearingly at the two rather taken aback boys, and turned with a big grin to Alicia and Fred.

OOC: Happy Holidays! ^_^

~ Fleur

Wednesday, December 25, 2002 :: 12:31 p.m.

Harry gave a slight smirk when Draco finally seemed to have given in.

"There's nothing funny about this, Potter."

"I know. So since I'm expecting this is your... mansion. Care to tell me where they might've put Ron and Cho?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Pretend you do. Where would your father keep prisoners?"

"It's pretty obvious, isn't it? We seem to be in a dungeon. I wonder where prisoners are kept," Draco replied in that ironic drawl of his.

Harry sighed. "Fine, whatever."

They both slowly made it out of the prison that Draco was in and continued down the dreary looking corridor, listening for signs of anyone.

"Can you please do your 'lovey-dovey-mushy-wushy' stuff somewhere else?!"

They stopped. "That... That sounded like Ron!"

"Some people don't appreciate certain people trying to score points when you are stuck in a cell with nothing! NOTHING you hear!"

"Ron? RON!!" Harry shouted out happily. "Is that you?"

~ Harry, nearing the others

Thursday, December 19, 2002 :: 12:26 p.m.

Alicia gave a small smile at Fred's comment. "Must you always joke around when we get caught in moments like this? Honestly Fred, I don't know what we'd all do with out your sense of humor." She smiled again and began to relax a little, she then turned to Fleur and lowered her voice. "It's more than obvious that Snape is as clueless as a headless chicken at this point, which means it's up to us to figure out what's going on so we can inform Professor Lupin...if he is able to come back for us...Fred, can you see anyth--" Alicia stopped mid-sentence as her eyes had wandered to Ron...Ron, who they had all been ignoring. She suddenly felt sorry for him, and wondered why Fred wasn't doing anything to comfort his little brother.

"Fred...try and look through the cell bars and see if you can't find any clues to where we are or who put us here." She got up and quietly made her way towards Ron Weasley. "Ron...sit down before you hurt yourself again. I know you're upset...we all are, so just calm down. Professor Lupin has gone to get help. We'll be out of here in no time...and we'll find Harry too."

~ Alicia Spinnet

Thursday, December 19, 2002 :: 09:37 p.m.

Ron stood up from the corner he had been leaning against and all hell was let loose. "Can you please do your 'lovey-dovey-mushy-wushy' stuff somewhere else?!" he yelled while flailing his arms about in the air. "Some people don't appreciate certain people trying to score points when you are stuck in a cell with nothing! NOTHING you hear!"

All eyes transfixed on Ron. Not a stir, not a sound. But the feeling that he was being watched by five pairs of eyes. Alicia, Remus, Snape, Fred, Fleur.. and Snape. "What are you looking at?! Look.. at yourselves!" He kicked the stone wall, but only ended up spraining his ankle instead.

"Oh look! I sprained my ankle. What are you all going to do?" But he knew the answer. They all ignored him and went back to their.. activities. "Pfft. I just had to get stuck in a cell with a bunch of idiots."

~ Ron, being that idiot we all hate too love <3

Tuesday, December 17, 2002 :: 06:58 p.m.

Fred warily glanced at Snape before crawling over to Fleur and Alicia and sitting down close to them. He looked from one frightened pair of eyes to the other and partially smiled. "You need a strong and handsome, not to mention charming, man to keep you safe, don't you," he whispered jokingly, desperately wanting the girls to smile.

~ Fred

Tuesday, December 17, 2002 :: 07:21 p.m.

Fleur looked at Snape worriedly, although she kept her blue eyes cool. She shot a nervous glance at Fred and Alicia, dropped her gaze and played with a strand of her silver blonde hair.
After a moment or two, Fleur scooted over to Alicia and whispered "Are you frightenend?" Alicia nodded ever so slightly, and Fleur sighed in relief. "Me too" she said quietly, and she panned her gaze from the steel bars to Fred. She gazed at him intensly till she caught his gaze. For a moment she said nothing, merely studied him. But after what seemed like an eternity, she mouthed silently "Come here, we need to talk" to his corner. She shot a glance at Snape who seemed to be thinking about something. But what?

~ Fleur

Tuesday, December 17, 2002 :: 05:56 p.m.

As Snape looked up, all the children were staring at him in a nervous way. Until Fred broke the silence, everything was silent. Fred asked what was that thing. Snape just stood and stared. He didn't know what Fred was talking about. "And what thing would you be talking about, Mr. Weasly?" Snape questioned as he sat down and started to wrap up his wounds.

"Um," Fred answered in a faint whisper, "The White Wolf." He spoke a bit louder when he said it. Snape looked up, not knowing what to say. He has never seen such a thing as powerful or like the White Wolf. He has neither heard or studied of it. Snape just assumed that he was a creation or follower of Voldemort, not really thinking too much into it.

"Don't know. Don't care. As long as we were spaired for the moment, we should be able to find a back-up plan if Lupin fails to get help." Snape said in a loathing voice. Everyone began to look discouraged at Snape's ignorance of the White wolf. They all picked a corner or a comfortable spot and sat down. Snape stood, however. He didn't know what would become of them. Would they go crazy being with them, would they die of tourture, or would they be free again, like old times? To be honost, Snape was actually scared of what might happen, but he didn't what to admit that to the kids. Being tired from the adventures, Snape sat down and hoped that everyting would be alright.

~ Severus Snape

Monday, December 16, 2002 :: 09:09 p.m.

Draco stared at Harry. "Help me out of these locks, will you?" he asked. "I... I think that it's just a type of Muggle lock." Harry nodded and pulled the small sharp piece of metal out of his robes and carefully open the lock. Draco took a step forward and ended up falling fowards. Harry stretched his arm out to stop him from falling.

He stood steadily on one foot. "Hurry up, let's go," said Harry. Draco gritted his teeth. "It's my ankle Potter," he spat out. "I broke it." Harry looked at Draco with wide eyes. "Really?" he asked, smiling. "Does it hurt much?" Draco rolled his eyes and felt the urge to curse and hex Harry.

"Of course it does, you stupid git." Draco put a hand out on the wall to steady himself. "My father is not going to be pleased," he repeated a few times over. He glared at Harry. "Just get lost Potter - get out of here." Harry grabbed Draco's arm and swung it around his shoulder.

"What do you think you're doing?!" hissed Draco. Harry sighed. "Shut up Malfoy. I'm helping you walk so you can help me escape."

"And if I refuse?"

"Well," said Harry after a moment of thought, "I suppose I could just lock you up again... "

~ Draco, teaming up with Team Potter

Lucius walked off, leaving the other hooded figure by himself. "Tell him that father will talk to him later," he said with the calmness of a cat. The figure nodded, putting in an old-fashioned looking key into the lock of the door and opening it.
Shouts of "Let me go!" and the sort emitted from the room. Draco's voice.

Quickly, when Lucius had turned a corner and the dark figure was just about to go into the room, Harry ran, pounced, and knocked the person unconsious. He thanked the Dursleys for once for being wrestling fans. Those videos actually taught him something.

"What the - Bloody HELL! Potter?!" Draco exclaimed from his prison.

Harry just nodded. "It's me. And you'd think that they'd guard Voldemort's downfall more, wouldn't you?"

~ Harry, dry humour anyone?

Lupin would've eaten the canary pastry... if he hadn't dropped it. He heard noises from around the corner and he almost cursed as it dropped into the green grass. He sighed inwardly and poked his head around the corner. The wind, gently blowing, pushed his brown hair into his face. He blinked and noticed two men coming around the corner. Remus couldn't make out what they were talking about, but it had to be about them! He saw a man with long, white hair; holding a snake-shaped staff. The other was a darkened man, he had his cloak's hood covering his face.

He watched intently as the dim light illuminated their evil features. He could tell that this situation was not a good one and he should do what Severus had told him, go back to the school. Severus was unaware that the Canary Pastry lasted only seconds. Remus would not run, all he could do was stand there. He passed around in the grass and noticed an open door on the right side of the house... or mansion, as he could see from the looks of it now. He dashed around the corner and into the open door, hoping it was not a trap.

He huffed and carefully shut the door behind him. Inside, it was incredibly gloomy looking and also very damp. He wondered where he was and what was going on. He put his ear to the door and listned outside as the two men passed by...

"...It is all going well, Master..."

"See to it that it is. And you will be well rewarded. You see, soon I will have my Revenge..."

Revenge was all Lupin needed to hear to know who was talking and what was going on. No one was safe now... He hoped that there would be some way of stopping the horrible power that was to come.

Sirius strolled around the house. It was dark, lonely. Just as his cave had been.
Should be used to this by now... he thought.
He went out in the backyard to visit with Buckbeak. No surprise that the hippogriff was fast asleep under the tree.
"Wonder how Remus is doing at Hogwarts. Hope he's not getting in any trouble." Sirius said. "And Harry..."
It was getting cold out fast, so Sirius went back inside and made himself a cup of tea, then went to sleep..

OOC: Sorry, I know it's been months since I posted... just uninspired, I guess ;_;

Fred looked at Snape with wide eyes. Great. Three Gryffindors and a Ravenclaw stuck with him for who knows how long. Fred looked around and saw the same very nervous expressions on his fellow students. Finally, to cut through the awkward silence after Lupin left, Fred cleared his throst. "Er... Professor... can you tell us what exactly that... thing... was?" asked Fred cautiously, talking about the white wolf.

~ Fred

Friday, December 13, 2002 :: 05:55 p.m.

Silently, Snape sits up. He reaches for his cheek at the first sign of pain. There was a signifigant bruise where Ron had slapped him, unknown to Snape. He looks down at his robes and there are deep gashes of what he remembered as Lupin jumping on him - in wolf form. He looked over at Ron in the corner then at the others. Fleur was trying to reach as high as she could to hand Professor Lupin his clothes.

Snape stood up and absent-mindedly and looked at the scene. He couldn't seem to think straight. It was probably a hard blow to the head when he fell to the ground. Anywho, he continued staring at the scene with blank eyes. Suddenly, it occured to him. Lupin was outside!!! As he watched Fluer finally give Lupin his clothes, he ran toward the wall. He climbed up it like the previous time and whispered something to Lupin. Remus nodded in agreement.

"Weasly! Do you have any more of thos canary things?" shouted Snape not knowing how he knew Fred had some. It probably just occured to him that, Weasly being an odd student, would carry something odd around. Fred looked at him strangely and pulled out his last canary pastry. He tossed it up to Snape in an instant.

"Listen Professor," Snape whispered into Lupin's ears as he examined the landscape. "Eat this canary thing and change into a canary. Fly as far away you can. When it runs out, start toward Hogwarts and inform Dumbledore about our captivity." Snape wasn't sure if the darn thing worked on just animals, or both animals and humans. But he didn't want to waste any chances of getting away. Lupin looked at him in agreemenyt and took the canary pastry. Snape slowly slid down the wall saftly to the floor and looked at the students...

~ Severus Snape

Thursday, December 12, 2002 :: 07:33 p.m.

He watched Ron continously slap Severus in the face. Lupin made a sort of growling noise as he cleared his throat, "Clothes PLEASE!" And Fleur handed them over. He really REALLY needed to find some way not to shed his clothing. It was quite embarassing. He pulled on a pair of trowsers and a shirt then rolled on his dusty cloak. He coughed and shivered in the pale sunlight. He was obviously somewhere of odd importance as he galnced around the corners. He was outside! He was free! But some how he needed to get the remaining prisoners out...

~ Remus Lupin- Feeling Sheepish *bah*

Thursday, December 12, 2002 :: 02:27 p.m.

Light. Streaming onto his face. Blinding him. Ron pulled himself up and yawned while managing to cover his face from the light that was pouring through the cell window. He turned and noticed Snape, lying on the ground.. motionless.. with cuts all over his body. Deep cuts. "What the.."

And then he heard shouts of glee, and turned to see Alicia, Fleur and Fred, jumping up and down whilst hugging each other in a mad embrace. "Er.." He glanced at Snape, and then at the happy trio. "Did I miss something?"

Sighing, as the trio were obviously too absorbed in hugging each other, he knelt down next to Snape. "Um.. Professor Snape?" There was no reply. Instead, he just stared at his face. With that pale expression. The one he always had. "Well.. it's worth a try.." Ron raised his arm high, then swished it down and slapped Snape's cheek in the process.

But Snape was still unconcious. He repeatedly slapped him across the cheek, and was about to think about jumping on him, but thought that would probably make his condition worse. Sighing, he sat down in the corner of the cell. Of all the places, he had to be stuck here. With three happy-joy-joy students and a professor knocked out cold..

What else could go wrong?

~ Ron, missing out on the action

Wednesday, December 11, 2002 :: 05:02 p.m.

Fred grinned wildly when the wolf poofed into a canary. He spun around and picked Alicia up into a tight hug, lifting her feet off the ground and spinning her around. He set her back down and laughed. "Alicia, you're a bloody genius! I could kiss you!" He laughed again, and the old Weasley twin sparkle was back in his eyes. He spun back around to Fleur and pulled her up off her knees and gave her a great hug as well. Then he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and gave them a squeeze, still grinning. "Who cares how we get out, we're alive-" but just then, Lupin's head popped up through the bars.

The three students stared for a moment, Fred's grin faded slightly in his confusion. He gave a questioning look to Fleur, before letting her go and grabbing Lupin's dusty robes from near the locked door, which he hadn't noticed until now. He handed them over. "Professor! What the blazes are you doing here?"

~ Fred

Wednesday, December 11, 2002 :: 10:59 a.m.

Remus, Laughing at the genius of his students, flew through the little bars in the window. He looked up with his canary head and noticed the sun was rising. He poofed! out of his canary form and his mouth began to transform from the wolf snout. Something hit him straight in the head and he thrust his head through the bars and shouted, "Would one of you be nice enough to toss up my robes?" He said with a flushed face. He noted Fleur, Fred, and Alicia looking at him oddly and Snape, still laying on the floor, unconditionally passed out.

~ Remus Lupin- "It's bloody chilly up here!"

Tuesday, December 10, 2002 :: 04:44 p.m.

Stumbling onto the floor, Fleur watched in horror as Fred and Alicia fought the werewolf. But luckily with Alicia's quick thinking, the only thing they had to worry about now was that they were held captive by the white wolf. What will they do with us? Fleur got over to an nearly unconcious Snape's side, and prodded him with her finger. "'ello? Professor?" Fleur wasn't particularly fond of Snape, but she didn't want him to die. She looked over to Fred and Alicia "'e should be alright.... I 'ope" She bit her lip nervously. "In the meantime, we've gotta think of a way to get out of here"

~ Fleur

Tuesday, December 10, 2002 :: 04:13 p.m.

Alicia, in a panicky way, shoved her hands in her robe's pockets, looking for something to use against the wolf. She noticed that Fred was probably looking for something useful as well. She had no luck with her robes and looked down at Fred's pockets which were bulging. "Fred! What do you have in your robes?" With out permission, she stuck her hand into his pocket and her fingers fell onto a squishy object. She pulled it out and found her self staring at a canary cream. "Genius..." Alicia hurriedly unrapped it and threw it at the wolf who gobbled it up in less than two seconds. With a poof, the vicious dog turned into an innocent canary which flew towards a barred window leading to the outside world.

OOC: I do hope it's a smart canary and uses the window to it's advantage....

~ Alicia

Monday, December 9, 2002 :: 05:57 p.m.

Fred leapt up at the same time Alicia had. He hadn't reacted right away... his limbs had seemed rather frozen. Fred jumped in front of Fleur, fists clenched, and then he gasped as Alicia grabbed the wolf.

"No! Alicia!!" he yelled. She was going to get herself killed that way. Glancing around, her tried to find something to use as a weapon... anything. That was one good things that muggles had going for them - they were used to being in situations without depending on a wand. Fred motioned for Fleur to get back and he ran up, grabbing Alicia's shoulders and yanking her away, right before the wolf flung his head around and lashed at them. Almost panicking, instincts had Fred holding Alicia behind him and the two of them backed away slowly as the wolf's nostrils flared in fury.

~ Fred

Monday, December 9, 2002 :: 03:57 p.m.

Alicia watched the wolf pounce on Snape and then suddenly retreat. He had obviously changed his mind and was now advancing towards Fleur. 'Why isn't Fred doing anything?' Alicia's legs quivered as she stood up. Fleur was going to get torn to pieces and Fred was next in line. Professor Snape moaned just as Alicia grabbed the wolf by the scruff of his neck and tried her best to keep him from plunging forward.

~ Alicia

Sunday, December 8, 2002 :: 05:23 p.m.

OOC: I could co-own if you want

Lupin could no longer control the wolf. The wolf lunged, knocking Snape hard to the cold ground and began to claw at his chest, chopping up his cloak and getting to whatever he smelled inside... He coughed on the sour thing and spat it out. It was some kind of Asphodel root or something. He growled and looked deadly at Severus who was looking quite near to death at this point. Lupin snorted and turned around. Three young, fresh meats huddled around in the cell. They were unarmed and sitting there for his delight. The wolf licked his lips and growled. Meat meat meat chanted the wolf in his head. And maybe I will allow one of them to live, then there will be many wolf...

YOU'RE INSANE! Lupin yelled to himself. But there was nothing he could do, the would slowly advanced to Fleur...

~ Remus Lupin

Sunday, December 8, 2002 :: 04:40 p.m.

Groggily, Harry opened his eyes slowly. He blinked a few times before things began to come into focus for him.

He was in a room - something like a cell - tied up from head to toe. Panic rose into his mind, but he tried to keep calm and remember the last thing that happened to him.

"We're here!" Ron had replied from the front. Swiftly turning around to face Harry, he signalled him to stop running. "We're here..."

There were about 3 other people there behind him and all Harry could see was the gleaming red eyes and Ron's evil snarl. Directed at Harry.

"R - Ron...?"

He just nodded, never losing that grin. "Harry."

"What of the other prisoners?"

"We're having troubles with the group - one's apparently a werewolf."

"Well then GET him under CONTROL!" A voice bellowed.

"Yes... Yes, Master Malfoy."

"And what of my own...?"

"Restless." A different voice answered.

"Ah. Well, we'll have to settle with that now, won't we...?"

Draco? And who was... 'The group'? Harry gaped: Ron, Cho! And the werewolf, that had to be Professor Lupin!

Searching around frantically, Harry tried to look for a rock, a stone - anything! Much to his luck, there was a sharp looking piece of metal lying around (he stuttered - it reminded him so much of a torture chamber) and using it, he was able to get free.

He listened for noises as he tried to slip out of the room he was in and hearing noises from one of the doors nearby him, which one of the black-cloaked figures were just about enter, he waited to make his move...

(OOC: I just can't post like I used to! x_x; And I don't think I could manage this RPG by myself no more... Anyone wanna volunteer to be co-owner? I swear I'll try to post when I can! And this long post is for my long absense. ^^;)

~ Harry

Saturday, December 7, 2002 :: 05:16 p.m.

Snape stares into the cold eyes of the werewolf. His face turns even more pale and he starts biting his lip in fear. Maybe if I don't move. I could not move until the sun comes up, which is... about 14 hours. DEAR GOD! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO! Well, I should probably get into a comfortable standing position and not move. If he jumps at me, I'll just run around the cell. Yeah! That'll work. Wait, no it won't. Suddenly, Snape hears faint footsteps beyond the cell door...

~ Severus Snape

Saturday, December 7, 2002 :: 02:04 p.m.

Lupin growled and his drool splattered to the floor. (ew) Why wasn't Snape doing anything? He could clearly use the Lupo Transforo Spell on him, so why didn't he? While Severus was stading there extremely pale, Lupin fought with his inner self. NO no no no! Leave him alone! Back away! BACK AWAY! He yelled at himself but the wolf ignored him. It wanted to lunge at all costs but Lupin would restrain it!

~ Remus Lupin

Friday, December 6, 2002 :: 09:14 p.m.

Fred sat up to reply to Fleur silently. He bent near her and put a finger to his lips as she started to say something else. So far, the wolf hadn't noticed them. Fred looked up and saw Alicia near the wall. He gave her the same gesture and looked back toward Snape, chewing on his lip nervously.

~ Fred

Friday, December 6, 2002 :: 05:48 a.m.

Alicia was the last to wake up and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a wolf glaring at Professor Snape. "Why isn't he doing anything?" she thought to herself. The thought of the absence of Lupin in this dark cell managed to find it's way into her mind. She sat up and shakily brushed a few strands of dark brown hair out of her face. Fleur and Fred were huddled together in a seperate corner of the cell. Alicia turned her head to see if they were awake...they were, and they looked just as terrified at the sight of the wolf than she did. Unarmed, and with no Professor Lupin, Alicia waited to see who would take the first action.

~ Alicia

Thursday, December 5, 2002 :: 11:16 p.m.

Fleur groggily opened her heavy eyelids, and felt a small trickle of warm liquid going down her face. She put her hand to the trail, and found blood. Groaning, she propped herself on her elbows, and looked at Fred. She followed his gaze and saw a werewolf. "C'est ne pas le loup blanc..." she said to herself. Fred gave her an odd look "I said it's not the white folf" Fleur explained quietly. Fear numbed her legs and she Snape looking at the wolf, all colour gone from his face. She groped for her wand instintively, but found nothing. "Fred" she hissed. "Where's my wand? 'ave you seen it?" Fred shook his head, and she paled. We're stuck... In a cell... With a werewolf... With no wand.

~ Fleur

Thursday, December 5, 2002 :: 04:37 p.m.

OOC: just going to describe Fred's actions during the stuff that's been going on.

Fred felt fear grip him as he turned at the sound of shouting down the hall to see multiple Death Eaters strolling toward them. He saw them take aim with their wands, and then was startled when Fleur rolled over to avoid the roopes that shot out. We looked at her sympathetically. She looked rather sick, and deathly scared. His stomach churned as he looking over at Snape and Lupin.

Fred's eyes were scared, but determined as he grabbed Fleur's arm gently. He didn't want her to get hurt... as much as he wanted to go help the Professors, he knew they'd prefer that the students try and escape. But they couldn't escape. The next few moments were a blur, he felt his body freeze, and crash to the ground. The impact of his head smacking the stone floor made everything go black.

Conciousness slowly crept back to Fred and he painfully opened his eyes. He was sore all over, but took a moment to take in his surroundings before he moved. He was somewhere dark... it was night, there was moonlight coming from a small window. Fred carefully looked up and inaudibly gasped wehn he saw Snape facing a full grown wolf. It wasn't the white wolf though. Fred stayed still, not sure if it was going to attack, and knowing in the pit of his stomach that he wouldn't be able to do anything to help.

~ Fred - meep

Thursday, December 5, 2002 :: 02:45 p.m.

Beads of sweat perked upon Lupin's face. He rolled his face into the hard, stone floor. He had no memory of what just happened... Death Eaters were around him and the wolf... He could feel the cold, icy glare of the moon on his back. His mind was wheeling around and the next thing he knew, he was on his feet staring into the eyes of Severus Snape.

Snape looked extremely pale, (palier then usual, if that's humanly possible) and he couldn't figure out why until he looked around his surroundings. They were in a cell and through the bars of the window shone that wretched full moon.

Remus dropped to his knees, clutching his sides and shaking tremendously. He watched and whimpered as his jaw extended and razor sharp teeth erupted violently. He grabbed his head in his furry hands and held them there until his newly formed wolf bones forced him on all fours.

He hissed and ripped his cloak and garments off, they twisted and cut into his furry skin. He slipped out, they laid in a pile on the floor, and leaped infront of Severus. A primal instinct erupted in the back of his mind... Stop me now, Severus!

~ Remus Lupin ... wolf-i-tized!

Thursday, December 5, 2002 :: 12:56 p.m.

Snape awoke in a small cell. The pain was gone. He looked behind and around him. He saw Lupin, Fleur, Fred, Alicia and Ron. They were all out cold- or were they just sleeping? He'll never know. Snape counted them all and realized one was missing. Who is missing? Snape thought. He tried to trace back to before he fainted. DRACO!

He searched for his wand. It wasn't there. He looked in the other's pockets. Their's were missing, too. There was a small window with bars on them above Snape. After several tries, he finally got up to the window. He looked outside and saw a dark dark night... and a full moon. At the surprise of this, he slid down the wall and fell on his back. He looked over at Lupin. A deep growl came from him. Hastily, Snape dragged all the others to a corner so they wouldn't get hurt. Lupin slowly stood, his eyes a bright glowing red...

(Note: Destinie [Lupin] told me she wanted to do the transformation scene, so don't go into full detail if you right before her. Okay? Thanx!)

~ Severus Snape

Thursday, December 5, 2002 :: 08:42 p.m.

Draco barely had time to utter a yell before the three Death Eaters all hexed him together and sent him flying against the front doors and rolling down the steps leading to the castle. There was a small thud as Draco's head smacked the corner of one of the steps. He struggled to get up and then next thing he knew, he heard his name being called and Ron was kneeling next to him. Draco coughed quietly, and tasted the metallic taste of blood in his mouth and down his throat.

He shuddered and to his horror, noticed that his wand was directly behind the three oncoming Death Eaters. Shaking, Draco stood up and tried to steady himself on his feet, but he almost instantly found himself sprawled back on the steps. He gritted his teeth and saw that his ankle was sort of lying at an odd angle. "Broken." The Death Eaters were still advancing towards him, with their wands outstretched. Draco jerked his head to his right and saw Ron and Harry... and Harry was grabbing Ron's shoulder.

"Saint Potter," muttered Draco, "always noble and willing to let people like me die." The Death Eaters were now within point blank range. All three wands touched the tip of his forehead. There was no escaping them now. As Draco was about to close his eyes, he heard a loud yell and saw that it came from Ron, who was shoved onto the ground and landed about a metre in front of where Draco was. Lucius Malfoy smirked and took a few steps closer. With a wave of his gloved hand, the Death Eaters stopped what they were doing and cast a Full-Body Bind on Draco, Ron, Snape, and Lupin, Fleur, Fred, and Alicia.

They all disappeared with their captives with a small pop, leaving Ron, Draco, Lucius, the white wolf, and three other Death Eaters. "It's such a shame Draco," Lucius said. "I do hope your mother informed you I was busy with my ah... business. Now for a warning... MORSMORDRE!" They all disappeared with a loud pop, leaving a serpent-tongued skull high above Hogwarts.

~ Draco, unsure of what happened

Thursday, December 5, 2002 :: 08:09 p.m.

"Myrtle, I don't have the time for your.. stupid games right now!" he yelled. Myrtle cowered behind a tree and began to whimper. He sighed and turned away from the school that he had once known. The school that seemed safe. The school where he had met Hermione and Harry. The school that was now.. the school that he did not know. As the sound of Myrtle's whimpers were nothing but the howling of the wind, he decided to turn around and make sure that she was alright. The worse that could happen now, was Ron having another enemy to deal with.

"Myrtle..?" He began to check behind every tree, but there was no sign of her. He sighed again, when suddenly, he felt somebody's prescence near him. He turned behind him, to see Harry.. wait a second.. Harry?! "Harry?!" he repeated, "Where have you been?!" He shrugged his shoulders, and began to walk towards the castle. "I just went.. for a walk. That's all." Ron ran to catch up alongisde Harry. "A..walk? At this time of night?" Harry smiled awkwardly. "That's right. A walk. At midnight."

Ron nodded slowly and was about to question Harry, when he saw what seemed as a blonde-haired boy, being thrown down the steps leading to Hogwarts. "Draco?!" Ron grabbed his wand from his pocket and ran towards the boy that had been flung from the castle. "Harry, what are you waiting for?!" he yelled, while kneeling next to Draco. "Are you okay?!" Draco coughed as blood trickled from his chin and onto his robes, leaving an evident mark of blood. "What the hell is going on here.."

"Hold on." he quickly said whilst scrambling up the steps. He heard muffled screams from a room nearby, but his attention was quickly brought towards the three Deatheaters now approaching him, wands in hand, and muttering some sort of curse. The Deatheaters forced him down the steps and began to walk towards the defenseless Draco. "Harry! We've got to help Malfo-.. I mean Draco!" He ran towards Harry and shook him by the shoulders. "What's gotten into you?! You and Draco may not be the 'best of chums', but he's about to die!"

Ron turned around and was about to run towards the Deatheaters with whatever he had, when he felt somebody grasp his shoulder. "Harry, let go." The grip on his shoulder tightened. "Harry, what the hell are you doing?!" He tried to shove Harry's hand off of his shoulder, but the grasp seemed to strong.. immensely strong.

"..er.. Harry?" he quietly said, as he turned around to face one of them. A Deatheater. Disguised as Harry. "Damn.. Polyjuice Potion." The Deatheater lifted his hood off, and smirked.

Lucius Malfoy.

~ Ron, tricked by Polyjuice Potion

Wednesday, December 4, 2002 :: 08:11 p.m.

Slamming into the cold stone wall, Fleur groggily rubbed her head. Ropes were coming at her from the Dementor's wands, and she quickly but clumsily rolled Fred over to avoid their path. "Get up" she said with low, quick shallow breaths, as she gripped her wand tightly. Quickly ushering Fred up and a few feet away from the situation, she and Fred turned to look at the wolf and the Dementors. Instinctively she grabbed Fred's hand and said in a choked voice "Sacre bleu, what are we going to do?" She turned her blue eyes slightly to Fred's direction "We 'ave to act soon. I mean this second soon. Our lives depend on it" Just then she saw both professors lying crumpled on the ground, and she made a move to go to them, when Fred grabbed her arm. "No, stay back. We're their next target, so we need to buy time" Fleur's face was now completely lost of colour, and she nodded, feeling sickly.

Tuesday, December 3, 2002 :: 07:25 p.m.

"Don't worry! They're in the dining hall. Dumbledore'll protect them!" Snape managed to get at least that much out to the pale faced Lupin. However, this is also a strange sight to Snape as well. He has never seen such an event at such an advanced school.

I have to go help them! Snape thought. He raced around the corner and followed the death eaters. Before he could get his wand out, they struck him. He fell to the ground in unbearable pain. He heard their laughter and the death eaters voices repeating Crucio over and over again. He clutched his head and his stomach and curled up to keep the pain from coming. But the pain overflowed and pressured his body. Snape shivered and twitched. The pain seemed to never end. He finally let loose and screamed in his head to make it stop! He yelled it again and once again. He even swore he said it aloud. His last sight was Draco. I need to help... If only the pain stopped... If only I could get up... If only... Snape thought.

Everything went black.

~ Severus Snape

Monday, December 2, 2002 :: 07:13 p.m.

Fred fought vigorously with the wolf and Fleur helplessly stumbled around. He watched Severus come in along with Alicia. In time too. His head pounded and again with that voice... Death- Why did the wolf want him? What was Voldemort's plan?! What could he do? Without thinking, and the pain still driving him, he dashed up and ran to the wolf. Partially out of pain and agony, he threw an angry fist upon the wolf and pulled him away from Fred and Fleur and sent him flying into a nearby wall.

Urm, okay...where did that come from? He thought to himself as he gripped his wand tightly. He braced himself for the wolf seemed as he was about to pounce again. And pounce he did... sending Lupin crashing and hearing swishing noises. At first he thought the swishing was in his head, with him getting banged around and all, but then he looked through the doorway and saw a line of Dementors gliding evilly down the school corridors. "The students!" He managed to say.

Snape spun his dark head towards him. "Don't worry." He hissed with a flick of his sticky, black hair. "They're in the dinning hall..." That's right! Dumbledore was in the dinning hall... at least he should be... If he wasn't exterminated or something at the moment. Remus got up and stood his ground. He would fight and he would do it for Sirius, Harry, and James...

~ Remus Lupin

Monday, December 2, 2002 :: 08:43 p.m.

Draco watched as Alicia ran inside and he knew that she figured that he was up to something. Oh, and was he ever! After about five minutes, Draco walked inside and hid near the entrance and waited for her to reappear with a teacher. The air was cold, so he wrapped his warm robes around him tighter and folded his arms tightly.

After a couple more minutes, there was a small crashing sound and Draco saw Alicia running to the corridor with Professor Snape. He gripped his wand tightly and walked in. There were small droplets of blood that were splattered against some of the stone. Draco suddenly realized that there was some sort of Silence ward around the area because he couldn't remember hearing any noise when he was hiding outside the castle.

With his wand out in front of him, he hesitated before taking a defiant step forward towards Professor Snape. Suddenly, there was a series of loud pops in the room, and some figures appeared. The figures all wore masks. And black robes... Death Eaters. A white wolf emerged from around a corner with its fur stained with red. A growl caused the figures to cast 'Crucio' on Professor Snape. Some of them laughed like maniacs and ropes flew out from their wand tips to wrap up the others.

The remaining three Death Eaters advanced towards him. And that's when Draco realized with a sick feeling in his stomach, that Hogwarts was truly being taken over by Voldemort.

~ Draco, realizing the truth...

Sunday, December 1, 2002 :: 08:23 p.m.

Fred instinctively swung an arm back to protect Fleur. He secretly noted to thank Fleur for the little kiss if they lived through this, when he tore his eyes away from the wolf for just long enough to see Alicia and Snape jogging toward them. "Oy! Alicia! Hurry u-" but he was cut off by the wolf growling loudly and lunging at them. Fred spun, grabbed Fleur, then rolled out of the way with her just in time. He looked back up and stared at the wolf. He was now bent over Fleur, sweat making his orange hair stick to the back of his neck.

~ Fred

Sunday, December 1, 2002 :: 11:14 a.m.

Slumping over to Fred, Fleur clumsily pushed him out of the wolf's way. "Fred, you idiot!" she said half crossly half relievedly as she inspected a bruise on his head, and kissed it better. "Don't ever do that again!" She brushed her white blonde hair out of her face, and she felt her spirits lighten when she saw Alicia and Snape. "Thank god" she muttered to herself, and her eyes went back to the white wolf, who wasn't looking very happy.

Alicia eyed Draco suspiciously. "They're in the main corridor just to the right of the Entrance Hall...you shouldn't go though Malfoy. It's to dangerous." She took a few steps back and Draco nodded as if he agreed. As she turned to run back inside, she had a sick feeling that he'd follow.

'Snape...' was all that was running through her mind as she ran through the school looking for him. Just as she turned a corner and bumped into the man she was searching for. He screamed at her and claimed 20 points from her house, but it didn't really matter anymore. Alicia, out of breath, managed to get out "Professor Lupin". More screaming from Snape followed, but she couldn't really make out what he was saying. "Help....he needs help." She began to run again, although it was more like jogging since she was so tired, with Snape following her.

"Professor Lupin and two other students are in trouble. It's the white wolf," she called back to him. Finally, she returned to the hallway where she left her friends and Remus, only to find Fred pounce at the wolf, blood already dripping from his head. She didn't see Draco...yet.

OOC: Sorry it took so long for me to post. I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Saturday, November 30, 2002 :: 07:09 p.m.

Finishing Lupin's werewolf potion, Snape calmly walked out of his office and toward the Great Hall hoping that Lupin would be there. Suddenly, WHAM! A bump in his side made him trip and spill the potion all on the floor. The golden goblet went rolling down the hall. He looked down to see a Gryffindor, Alicia. Snape couldn't control his temper, nor could he notice the pale-faced expression of the girl. "20 points!" he raged, "And week of detention for your carelessness!"

"Professor Lupin..." She wheezed.

"What is it now?!" A jolt ran through his spine.

"Help... He needs help..." Alicia started backwards and ran toward the corridors. Curiously, Snape rapidly followed...

~ Severus Snape

Friday, November 29, 2002 :: 06:04 p.m.

Deathlios screamed in his head. He saw Alicia run off, good, she was escaping. Smart girl... Nothing could possibly save him. He hoped for a miracle. Anything...

~ Remus Lupin- distraught

Thursday, November 28, 2002 :: 08:03 p.m.

Fred faintly heard Fleur scream out spells, but the snarling of the wolf distracted him. He dug his fingers into the fur of the wolf to try and hang on, but it swung Fred around and he was thrown back down onto the hard floor. Grunting and forcing himself back up to his hands and knees, he was about to spin around when the wolf reared back to pounce and he had to half dive, half roll out of the way painfully.

~ Fred

Thursday, November 28, 2002 :: 07:25 p.m.

Draco looked up at a Gryffindor running towards him. He thought briefly about who she was, and then remembered that she was one of the Quidditch players. Her eyes were frantically darting around the place and she was quite pale-looking. She started blurting out words to Draco at the speed of the Hogwarts Express.

"... A wolf?" Draco's face paled. "You're not talking about a white wolf... are you?" He sighed heavily. "I just knew Snape was lying..." Draco bent down and took out his wand, and cast 'Lumos.' "I don't know where the teachers are... wait a minute... if I remember correctly, there's a Thanksgiving Feast in the Great Hall... go there."

He stood up quickly. "You better hurry up." He pointed his wand in the direction of the castle. "But before you go," he said with a nervous smile, "where is the white wolf? There's... something that I need to find out for myself."

~ Draco, fearing the worst

Wednesday, November 27, 2002 :: 09:32 p.m.

Sloppily rolling over, she watched in horror Fred attacking the wolf boy. "Fred!" she cried out. 'e's trying to buy time for Professor Lupin... But the cost could be 'is life! Fleur desperately yelled as many spells as she knew, but the wolf boy didn't even wince. "Stupefy! Expelliarmus! Impendimenta! Diffindo! Relashio!" Her voice was dying slowly, as did the sparks from her wand. For a moment everything went fuzzy, but her head snapped back up. The wolf boy had gone too far. "You coward!" she yelled at the wolf boy. Everybody froze and looked at Fleur. Uh oh.... Whoops

~ Fleur

Wednesday, November 27, 2002 :: 07:56 p.m.

Fred turned around to face her, fear in his eyes. "Go get help," he told her. She gave him a dazed look and slowly nodded. "Yes..." She had to get a hold of herself. She had never been dizzy like this. She gave Fred a quick hug and half hurried and stumbled away from the three and the wolf. "Be careful!" She called back as she ran out of the castle.

Alicia, now away from the so-called wolf, was able to think straight. She searched the grounds until she spotted Draco near the lake. "Draco!" she called as she ran towards him.

"Draco, have you seen any of the professors? Dumbledore? Mcgonagall? ...Snape? Professor Lupin is in--Fleur and Fred are in trouble-- the wolf...we have to find help!" She blurted her explanation out in what was only a jumbled chaotic message. She stood there a while, trying to catch her breath, and waiting for Draco's response.

~ Alicia

Wednesday, November 27, 2002 :: 02:34 p.m.

Fred was shoved to the side slightly as the boy pounced... the boy named Deathlios. Fred's face dreadfully pale, he watched Lupin struggle and Fleur fall to the floor. He didn't knnow any spells strong enough. He didn't even know if there WERE any spells strong enough in existence. His eyes bulged as he watched the boy transform. What the bloody hell was this creature?!

Fred didn't know what to do. He'd never been so terrified. He spun around to Alicia. "Go get help! We can't handle this alone!" Then, reacting the only way he knew how when he saw the boy trying to strangle the life out of Lupin, Fred lept forward and tackled the wolf with all his stregth, knowing it was hopeless, but he needed to buy them some time.

~ Fred

Wednesday, November 27, 2002 :: 09:58 a.m.

"YOU! St-stay away!" Lupin was all out of ideas. He was carrying a dazed Fleur and Fred and Alicia stood behind him. There was nothing he could think of... NOTHING. For all he knew, the other teachers were probably under the boy's spell. The students were all endangered and there was nothing he could do about it. He was just one man! He did not help with the fall of the Lord Voldemort. Heck, he was off hiding somewhere probably at that point, moping for James... feeling sorry for Sirius... A whimper from Alicia broke his "concentration". "It'll be okay..." He whispered, even though he knew it wouldn't be...

"You shall now address me formally, for being your destoryer, I deserve that kind of recognition." The white-haired boy bowed to him. "I am Deathlios." He hissed and glared with his bright, cold eyes. Deathlios lunged and Lupin toppled over, knocking Fleur to the ground. He sat up, rubbed the back of his head, and pulled out his wand. "No little trick you pull will save you..." The fog cleared, like Deathlios was sucking it up into his body. Then, he changed from the man that stood before him into the icy, white wolf once more.

Lupin couldn't breathe. The strangle was pulling harder on him... there was nothing he could do except feel himself die slowly...

~ Remus Lupin

Thursday, November 28, 2002 :: 01:16 a.m.

Myrtle stared thoughtfully after Ron as the trio left to find Lupin. Feeling something fishy at hand, she followed him into the forbidden forrest. She nearly lost him in the fog (though she could see through it, since it merely passed through her) until she found him crouching on the ground. Floating beside him, she poked him between the shoulder blades and yelled "Who are you?? You an imposter?? Or you'd taken some Polyjuice Potion?? What exactly do you think you're doing??" She asked suspiciously as she continued to jab at him with each question.

~ Myrtle

Thursday, November 28, 2002 :: 9:48 p.m.

Fog and darkness, everywhere. It was absolutely shrouded in nothingness, and was merely impossible to see anything with the humongous trees blocking his view. "How am I meant to find Harry if I can't even get anywhere in this fog?!" Slumping against a tree, he sighed as his back slowly drifted downwards and onto the ground. He twirled his wand with his fingers. "What a nice day to have fog, especially when your friend may be in trouble!" He sighed again, and threw his wand onto the ground much like how a stone is thrown against a pool of water. "Wait a second.." he paused, as he stood up and kneeled down next to his wand that he had thrown. "Footprints.." he trailed off, lightly touching the ground with the imprints. "And they look fresh.." Swooshing his wand into his hand, he began to grin. "It's just like following the yellow brick road!" And so he began to follow the footprints, unaware of what danger may be in store for him.

~ Ron, detective style!

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 :: 07:45 p.m.

Draco watched Professor Snape walk away into the dungeons, and he spun around on his heel, bit his lip, and clenched his fist tightly. "He thinks I'm a bloody idiot," Draco whispered fiercely to himself. "And I thought I could trust Snape of all people... I guess my father was right when he said that eventually he couldn't be trusted."

The boy angrily kicked the stone wall. He was very angry but glad that he could fake excitement whenever the need arised. If he was really true to himself, he knew that he didn't really care about whether the Mudbloods were there or not - it made no difference to his opinions. Draco kicked the wall again. "I thought I could trust Snape," he spat out in blind rage, "of all the people I trusted, I thought he would be one of them."

He glanced inside the doors leading into the Great Hall and saw Pansy sitting next to an empty seat at the Slytherin table. He felt a twinge of guilt as he turned around and walked away towards the castle entrance and outside into the darkness. He headed towards a spot near the lake and angrily threw rocks into the dark water.

"I can't trust Snape. I can't trust my father. I can't trust anyone... I can't even trust myself... and now You-Know-Who's going to come and kill us all... after all, he holds no mercy for anyone... "

~ Draco, angry and betrayed

Monday, November 25, 2002 :: 10:14 p.m.

Fleur opened one eye, a sharp pain at the back of her head. Cursing to herself in french, she realized her surroundings. Keeping still so Lupin wouldn't have to adjust to the sudden movement, Fleur watched the torches and paintings whir by. She kept her hand on her wand, when she soon realized they were at the main doors. "'urry" she muttered faintly. Pointing her wand at herself, she tried to recall the small energizing spell Madame Maxime had taught her. "Enerviva.... Energis....Energuista?" A bouquet of flowers landed on her, and she irritatedly blew a strand of hair from her face, and knocked the bouquet from her body. "Ener...Ener... Enervate!" Fleur came up with, and she felt the pain lessen slightly. She gently tucked her wand back into her pocket, however she kept her hand on it, and she prayed that they would all survive.

~ Fleur

Monday, November 25, 2002 :: 06:48 p.m.

Fred almost tripped over his own feet as he hurried down the stairs with the others. It was a rush, but not the good kind that you get with a broomstick, no this was fear. He saw Lupin wasn't doing so great and Fred felt rather gaseous himself, then he saw Alicia falter. Lupin had Fleur, so Fred twisted around and gently but tightly grabbed Alicia's arm, to keep her going, and to hold her up.

Meanwhile, Fred's head was swimming. He'd never been through anything like this before, and this boy, whoever the hell he was, scared him to the bones. He was working for Voldemort... Fred felt chills as that thought sunk in.

~ Fred - for once, not making jokes XB

Monday, November 25, 2002 :: 07:07 p.m.

They were running down the stairs now and from behind, Alicia noticed the Professor stumble a little bit. She wanted to ask him questions about the boy and why he was so angry but she knew this wasn't the right place to do so. They hurried down the long corridors only to hear the boy's voice once more. He seemed to be invisible and his voice surrounded them growing louder and louder. Alicia put a hand to her head for she felt a wave of nausea coming.

~ Alicia

Monday, November 25, 2002 :: 06:01 p.m.

OOC: Don't worry. That was a fine spell ^^;

He heard a yell from behind him, "Professor! Do something!" NO! He was after the students and the only thing on his mind right now was that he was scared and worried. Sweat dripped down from his forehead. He used the back of his hand to swipe the hair from his eyes.

"Have you given yourself up, yet?" The wolf boy cried, showing his pearly, white teeth. He grinned, narrowed his hollow blue eyes and stared coldly at Lupin. Lupin began to shake uncontrolably. NO! He was trying to take control of his mind again.

Lupin flung his wrist and muttered a spell. The boy went flying again. He ran to the door and pushed Alicia out of the way and carried Fleur and Fred under each of his arms. "Come on!" He cried. "We have to get out of the school!"

"My master will not be DENIED!" They heard a cry from the upstairs. Suddenly, the stairs got incredibly foggy and Lupin began to cough. He wavered around, trying to be careful but swift and stealthy at the same time.

I have to protect the children...

"You are on my last nerves..." It hissed from infront of them...

~ Remus Lupin- Will this wolf ever leave us alone?!

Monday, November 25, 2002 :: 04:18 p.m.

Alicia, now furious, tried her best to keep her well-known anger from coming out into a fit of rage against the boy and knelt down to help up Fleur who wasn't looking good at all. The boy was slowly approaching them and she nudged Fred to help her with Fleur. Fleur was out cold and Lupin...well, she couldn't see Lupin. The boy raised his hand again and was about to attack when Alicia cried out,"Professor! Do something!"

~ Alicia

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 11:53 p.m.

At the same time that Fred had hollered Expelliarmus, and Alicia had flung the trunk, Fleur had shouted Stupefy. There was a bit of a bang, and after she had retaliated, she looked at the boy. He didn't even flinch. "Sacre bleu" Fleur muttered under her breath, brow furrowed in concentration. "Wingardium Leviosa!" she tried at the trunk that Alicia had flung, which was now on the other side of the room, but as the trunk was heading at the boy, with a mere flick of his hand, the trunk dissapeared in a poof of smoke. 'e doesn't need a wand? Suddenly the trunk reappeared and landed on top of Fleur's head, and with a cry sent her crumpling to the cold ground.

~ Fleur

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 09:42 p.m.

Fred let Alicia respond to Fleur while he rolled back his sleeves and yanked out his wand. He watched the trunk fly and without much hesitation, he pointed his wand at the boy and shouted "Expelliarmus!!" hoping the spell would disarm the other boy like it was supposed to.

OOC: haha, i'm gone for a day and I miss all the action. ^_~

~ Fred

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 08:44 p.m.

Alicia watched the professor. If any of them survived this, she knew they'd be in serious trouble. "There isn't any time to get help, but what can we do against something like that?" She took her wand out from inside her robes. As she watched the wolf-like boy about to attack, she raised her wand trying to think of something to do, but could only remember the time Lupin had said 'waddiwasi' and sent a wad of gum from a keyhole up Peeves' nose. She looked around the room and spotted a trunk in the corner. She focused on the trunk and pointed her wand at it. "capsawasi," she whispered and sent the trunk hurling into the white figure.

[OOC: I hope that was ok. I kind of made the spell up using the latin word for box. So, er..I do hope Lupin steps in and keeps the rest of the students from doing something utterly stupid. eheh...]

~ Alicia

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 06:31 p.m.

Fleur reflexively reached for her wand and pulled it out of her pocket. She looked urgently at Fred and Alicia, her blue eyes flashing. "What do we do? 'elp 'im, or get 'elp?" But what if it's too late by the time we come back? "Maybe we can take 'im if we all work together" She waited for Fred and Alicia's responses, twirling her wand nervously between her fingers. This isn't funny. We're dealing with You-know-who 'ere Fleur bit her lip, ice like fear running through her veins.

~ Fleur

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 05:35 p.m.

A creaking noise behind him made Remus jump. He turned to see Fleur, Fred, and Alicia in the doorway. He grumbled something and skooted to the side to block the wolf's view. "Don't worry, Fool, I can see them perfectly..."

"What do you want?"

"The Master has sent me to rid the school of Dumbledore..."

"You can't do that!" Remus hissed. Dumbledore was the strongest Wizard...presumably...

"...And then My Master wants the Potter child... Alive...." The wolf boy wisked his hand above his head and Remus went flying and crashed into the nearest wall. He gathered himself back up and swung his wand. Bluish sparks hit him upside the head, his white hair flaying in the air. He grunted and was about to strike again....

~ Remus Lupin... the battle rages-

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 03:37 p.m.

Snape stared lazily down at Malfoy with a worried glint in his eyes. He tried not to laugh at the lie he was about to tell. He couldn't let Malfoy get involved. "I'm afraid so. His follower's are in the castle. They were told to defeat Harry and his friends. He would then take over the school and destroy all muggle-borns. I heard. I was there. Of course, your father is one of Voldemort's favorable servants. You have nothing to worry about."

Draco looked down. He was trying to hide his excitment. He looked delighted at the part with the elimination of the muggle-borns. However, Snape only told Malfoy what he wanted to hear. He knew that the taking-over the school part wasn't true. Although, he soon realized that this school would be Voldemort's next target. He walked silently away into the dark dungeons.

~ Severus Snape

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 01:25 p.m.

"Ron? Are you sure Cho was taken into the Forbidden Forest?" Harry asked. Ron nodded.

"As sure as sure can be!"

They continued walking in silence for a while. Harry strained his eyes in the light of his wand, trying to follow Ron and not lose him at the same time.

Harry was beginning to tire. "Ron? Why don't we take a small break...? I - I'm kinda tired..."

Ron shook his head. "No, we're almost there, I'm sure..."

"A - Alright..."

~ Harry, closer to doom

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 12:31 p.m.

Alicia looked at Myrtle and nodded her head. "I agree with her. Harry could be in trouble, and Ron could be walking into the same mess now." She hesitated. "I don't know though...this doesn't make sense. Two Rons?" She shook her head trying to figure out Myrtle's message. "I think we should go see what Lupin is up to. Maybe he knows what's going on...or at least he could help us if we...decide to go into the forest.."

The others nodded, and the three of them went upstairs. As they got closer to the room Lupin had gone into, they heard talking and the mention of Voldemort. Fred opened the door, and Fleur and Alicia looked over his shoulders at Lupin, who was facing a boy with white hair.

~ Alicia

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 12:41 p.m.

Again, he entered a darkened room. The white-haired boy stood before him. He would not be controlled again. He would not put the students in danger again. The wolf-boy spoke. "Voldemort has sent me, and he will not be denied..."

~ Remus Lupin

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 01:26 p.m.

Myrtle blinked and gather herself upright again. A ghost looked silly floating horizontal. A ghost being scared by a ghost, people will laugh their heads off .. erm, wait a minute, that's not a ghost "Something's wrong ... Ron doesn't have a twin right?? Better check what erm, they are up to" she nodded.

~ Myrtle

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 10:12 p.m.

Fred took a minute to think and blew a few stray orange hairs out of his eyes. "Sounds fine to me. But if Ron's not in any trouble I'm going to bust him up good for ruining our fun, the bloody git."

~ Fred

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 07:47 p.m.

Staring at Mrytle, Fleur looked at Fred and Alicia. "I suppose that is odd...Myrtle, are you sure he didn't just come back into the castle and then go out again?" Fleur had a feeling from Myrtle's expression that she was sure. Sighing, Fleur took her wand out of her pocket. "Derificus!" A plume of bright blue smoke appeared, and a soft voice said "Unclear. Please try again later" Rolling her eyes, and muttering in french how useless those 8 ball spells were, Fleur flipped her hair over her shoulder, and looked at Alicia and Fred. "Well, 'ow about this. We quickly go after Lupin, and then go find Harry and Ron" She stared at them quizzicly with her blue eyes.

~ Fleur

Sunday, November 24, 2002 :: 11:48 a.m.

POOF! The hallway clouded with smoke. As it slowly faded away, Ron swished his cape and grinned. "So.. this is the power of the Port Key." he said as he held it up into the air. As he slid the Port Key into his pocket, a cold feeling wisped past him. "Myrtle?" And POOF! Myrtle appeared, as white as a ghost, right infront of Ron's face. He inspected her ghost-like image closely, she seemed as if she was terrifyed, and this was an oddity as she was indeed the ghost, and not him.

"Are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost.." He grinned as he lightly thwapped the top of her head with his hand. Myrtle's jaw was still wide open, as it was a few minutes ago, and she had a sort of cold and intense stare. "Er.. Myrtle?" Ron gazed back at Myrtle, who looked half-dead, even for a ghost that was already dead. "Have you seen Harry?" She began to keep nodding her head without stopping and raised an arm, pointing in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"Thanks.." he said as he waved his hand and began to make his way towards the Forbidden Forest. He couldn't help but turn back around to face Myrtle as he made his way.. there was something different about her. Why was she so scared to greet him?

Myrtle blinked several times before she began to focus. Her mouth was still wide open, as she floated towards Alicia, Fred and Fleur. "Ron." she whispered while pointing towards the Forbidden Forest. "Ron? He left with Harry to the Forbidden Forest ages ago. What are you talking about?" Fred asked, while staring at Myrtle's awkward expression.

"Ron left with Harry to the Forbidden Forest. And just now Ron walked out to the Forbidden Forest. Again. Two times. Two.." Myrtle began to trail off as she was sent to the ground from fainting. Alicia, Fleur and Fred stared at Myrtle who was now lying on the ground, floating. "Ghosts, I'll never understand 'em."

~ Ron, Playing The Cards Twice

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 01:30 p.m.

He nodded at Alicia, then looked at Fleur, his face for once mostly serious. "I haven't seen her since then too... but I don't usually see her anyway, since she's a Ravenclaw and a year younger than I am. What do you think is up?"

~ Fred

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 01:32 p.m.

Alicia lightly touched Fred's arm and peeked over his shoulder. "Do you really think he knows where Cho is, Fleur? You're right though, Cho hasn't been around in a while. I haven't seen her since last week's Quidditch match, come to think of it. How about you Fred?"

~ Alicia

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 12:42 p.m.

Fred led the girls through the small dark corridor until they reached an intersecting hall. Fred peeked around the corner to see a swish of ragged robes start up the stairs. He turned back to them. "Lupin's going upstairs."

~ Fred

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 11:30 p.m.

Myrtle stifled a sob as she remembered how she died. "ooh yeah, no one believes Myrtle .. I'll see how the monstrous creatures gobbled you all up for supper." humphing, she floated through behind them.

~ Myrtle

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 07:46 p.m.

Draco quickly left the common room and headed towards the Potions classroom where he hoped to catch Professor Snape before he had to go to the Great Hall. Pansy had already gone ahead, promising that she'd save him a seat.

"Professor? Are you in there?" Draco called out into the dark room. "Hello?" His voice echoed around the room. After a few minutes of waiting, he left for the Great Hall and saw Professor Snape heading in through the doors. "Professor!"

Snape turned around, and he waited until Draco caught up to him. Many of the younger students were afraid of Snape so they quickly ran in through the doors. "Professor, I need to ask you something important." Draco paused for a moment and thought about how to word his question right. He saw the shocked look on Snape's face, and Draco gave a nervous laugh. "I can talk again, Professor - I'll tell you about the circumstances later." Snape nodded.

"I... I was just wondering... um... it's about my father." Draco felt cold all of a sudden and shivered slightly. He lowered his voice to a whisper that only Snape could hear. "It's You-Know-Who, isn't it? He's calling all of you to take over Hogwarts with the help of the white wolf."

~ Draco, worried about things

Saturday, November 23, 2002 :: 12:08 a.m.

Smiling broadly, Fleur added quickly "We've got to 'urry though, or we might lose 'im" Her blue eyes gleamed with excitement, and she followed Fred, with Alicia alongside her. "Oh, by the way, have any one of you seen Cho? I lent her one of my books, "The Vivacious History of Veelas". I need it back..." Suddenly she remembered something. "Professor Lupin seemed a little odd when I mentioned Cho... Well, we'll see what 'e's up to anyways" She concluded cheerfully.

~ Fleur

Friday, November 22, 2002 :: 07:01 p.m.

"Am I up for it? You bet," Alicia said and smiled at Fred and Fleur. The castle was so boring and she need something to do. "Ok Fred. Lead the way." She followed him down the hall and glanced once more behind her to make sure no one was following.

~ Alicia

Friday, November 22, 2002 :: 05:42 p.m.

A grin formed on Fred's lips and he was about to nod eagerly when Myrtle popped up. "Now now, Myrtle, just because you died a horrible death, doesn't mean we're all going to." Fred knew that Myrtle felt proud about how she died, so he figured, rather than make her upset, he'd just send her on her merry way. He turned back to Fleur. "I'm up for it, I've got nothing else to do. And I know a shortcut to get back there without running into Snape again." He grinned at Alicia. "You want to join us?"

~ Fred

Friday, November 22, 2002 :: 11:27 p.m.

Myrtle floated into the hall and saw Fred, Alicia and Fleur in conversation. Overhearing Fleur as she was moving past, she stopped next to them, "ooh an adventure .. mind you, don't get killed ... " she told them nastily.

~ Myrtle

Thursday, November 21, 2002 :: 09:17 p.m.

Smiling at Fred, Fleur tossed her hair over her shoulder. "'ow do you say this... I was following Professor Lupin, 'e seemed to be.... Up to something, n'est pas?" Fleur continued on "Besides, I was so bored, I figured I might as well..." She added with a flirtatious and friendly smile to Fred and Alicia "I think we can still catch him. Care to join me? C'est-- I mean it will be an adventure!" She tucked her wand into her ice blue robe, and waited for their answers. This day is turning out better then I expected

~ Fleur

Thursday, November 21, 2002 :: 07:04 p.m.

Fred walked in between Fleur and Alicia toward the Great Hall. He took a moment to glare back down the corridor at Snape, then looked at the girls. "Well, doesn't that just take the cake. Fleur, just what were you doing? And don't worry, if you were getting into some trouble, I'd be happy to help." He smirked down at the blond.

~ Fred

Thursday, November 21, 2002 :: 04:43 p.m.

"Whispering...? Voices...?" Snape turned in the hall following the voices of students. It was near dinner and all students had to report to the Great Hall for the preparation of the Thanksgiving Feast. He stopped and faced 3 students. He sneered.

"Aren't you three supposed to be in the Great Hall?" He questioned. "You do know that you are violating a school rule."

The 3 students looked at each other. "I will have to deduct 10 house points each with Professor McGonagall's permission. Now, before I change my mind and make it more, get to the Great Hall!" The students stumbled past each other grumbling something bad.

(((OOC: Sorry that my last entry was really stupid. I was tired! ><; Anyway, from now on, I'm going to try to be like Snape. No more stupid/funny entries. I am going to try and make myself seem serious. Okay?))

~ *~Severus Snape~*~

Sunday, November 17, 2002 :: 07:39 p.m.

Alicia, on her way to the Great Hall, saw a flash of red hair out of the corner of her eye. "Weasley," she thought to herself. She turned to her left and heard one of the twins talking. "Fred? George?" she called out but got no response.

Alicia turned down the hallway where she heard the talking and saw one of the twins talking with Fleur Delacour. She noticed it to be Fred since he was wearing that silly sweater his mum had sent him for Christmas with the letter "F" on it...at least she hoped it was Fred. "Hello Fred! And Fleur, what's going on?"

~ Alicia

Friday, November 15, 2002 :: 07:18 p.m.

Snape walks silently into the calssroom and sets down his day plans. Clearing his throat, the class steadies and becomes quiet.

Snape turns and looks at the class. He breaks into a huge smile. "Okay, class. Today we will be doing my favorite thing. The stupid, incomprehensable, unimportant, once-a-year, special activity. This includes, making fun-of everybody you hate!!!" Snape sneered.

The class looks at each other and starts talking to their friends.

"However..." Snape started. The class became quiet to listen. "Before you may do that, you must read pages 1-500 and do the Section Review #1-1000. If you donot finish today, you will not be able to do the stupid, incomprehensable, unimportant, once-a-year, special activity. I will give you one week to finish. It is worth 10% of this terms grade."

The class groaned and took out their books. Like Hermione, she was the first one reading. Snape sat down with a look of gratitude in his face. He mumbled, "I love this job..."

Fred sauntered down the corridor slowly, rather bored, with George in class and no one to pull any pranks on. He was chewing on some Bertie Bots Every Flavor Beans that he swipted from Ron earlier that morning, when he spotted a flash of long white-blonde hair retreat into the shadows. Raising an eyebrow he walked closer and made out Fleur Delaclour. He was rather surprised to see her and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Fleur! What do you think your doing? Looking for some lowly first years to seduce?" He smiled to show he was only fooling the way only Fred and George could do.

Fleur smiled innocently at the Professors back, as he dashed away. I am not dim, dear Professeur... Per'aps you are 'iding something? Fleur tossed her silvery blonder hair over her shoulder, and her light pink lips broke out into a big mischieveious smile. I think I should follow 'im, just to be sure 'e is.....Safe. Yes, that's it. Waiting a few more seconds, Fleur began to follow Lupin, staying near the shadows. Finally something interesting... However, it is a shame that Fleur didn't know what she was getting herself into...

Cho? CHO? The thought raced through his mind. What had happened the night before? Where was Cho? What was going on? "Profesur..." Fleur said impaciently.

"Sorry Fleur." He replied as he snapped out of his conversation with himself. "I believe she was on the third floor last time I saw her..." That was a lie. The last time he saw her was the night before, when he ran out of the building to the pale-haired wolf boy. The thought rejoined him and he dashed away before replying to Fleur's "thank you". He would find the white-wolfed man and settle a score.

Draco was rather surprised to see his eagle owl come flying in through his bedroom window since he had only seen it a couple hours ago. He quickly undid the ribbon and read the message.

Dearest Draco,

Many apologies for not being able to arrange a Halloween dinner with the family. Your father was extremely busy on business. I was delighted to receive your request for Miss Parkinson to join us, and I agree with your request. A dinner will be arranged in the next week or so after your father has finished his business.

Love, Mother

He headed out of the common room and walked along the halls. Draco was glad he had been excused from classes. A few minutes later, he briefly thought about where Ginny might be. He made a note to see her again. He glanced out of a window and thought he saw some people heading into the Forbidden Forest, but he ignored it.

~ Draco, thinking again

     Ginny ran her fingers through her thoughtfully. "A lot seems to be going on," she murmured to herself. "If only I knew what it was about..." She twirled a strand of her hair, carefully recollecting her thoughts. "So much can happen in just a day...or week...or however much time has passed. I wonder who can actually tell me what's going on?" She paused in her wondering aloud, brow furrowed. "Hmm..."

     "If two unicorn horns make a Tripolius Potion, what do four unicorn horns make?" Ginny sighed and shook her head at this ridiculous question. "How unlike Snape to assign something such as this!" Ginny pondered for a moment. "Oh, I don't know, a Double Tripolius Potion?" She waved her wand and muttered, "Chep," the Checking Spell. A phoenix hologram appeared from Ginny's wand and nodded. It then disappeared. "That was right? BOOYA, SNAPE!" Suddenly, she quieted, her ears pricking at the noise she heard. Uncomfortably, Ginny shifted from her bed and closed her homework books. Quickly, Ginny took out a roll of parchment, then filling her quill hurriedly.
Draco,
     There is something creeping about the castle. Any idea what it can be? Get back to me as soon as possible.
          Ginny

Satisfied with her letter, she went off to the school owlery.

(OOC: Layout looks great, Janine! Sorry I haven't posted for a while ><; I'm a bit confused, but I will try to post less and stuff. ^_^; A thousand apologies. Oh, and welcome Alicia and Fleur! ^-^ *glad she now knows a lot of French*)

Fleur nodded sweetly as Professor Lupin was talking, and when she noticed him pausing, she jumped in quickly. "Ah, Professeur, est-ce...I mean 'ave you seen Cho? I lent 'er one of my books, and I need it back now" Fleur twirled her rosewood wand in her hand patiently, waiting for Lupin to reply.

"As usual ... Myrtle saves the day and do I get a word of thanks? NO!! It's always the case." Myrtle's chin trembled as Harry and Ron runs off. "I'm done with the lot of them, humph ..." She floated down the the tower and back into the hall.

(occ:nice layout =) hello, fleur and alicia~)

"H-hello Fleur..." He said while scratching the back of his head. "Can you erm...tell me what time it is?"

Fleur noted that it was around 12 pm. Remus had slept a lot. (^.^) He smiled and talked to Fleur a little longer, still wondering where half the school was.

Fleur couldn't help but smile to herself at Pansy's reaction. Walking back into the castle, wand still in hand, she narrowed her eyes at a darkish looking figure in the hallway. Wagering whether or not apporaching the figure would be safe, Fleur found her feet walking quietly towards the figure. She recognized the man as she got closer as one of the Hogwarts professors. But which one? Clearing her throat slightly, she slowly began "Alo, Professeur..." Professor Lupin whirled around in a rather startled fashion, and she looked calmy at him. "Comme on ca va-- I mean, of course, 'ow are you?" She smiled sweetly, but inside she was frowning and thinking,What is wrong with 'im?

Swish. "I could get used to this." Ron twirled around in circles, swishing the cloak that he had stolen earlier. He began to happily walk past the other cells with wizards and witches getting their faces eaten by the Death Eaters, when he accidentally bumped into.. one of them.

A souless, faceless..thing. A Death Eater. "Ahh!" he yelped in fright as a black shadow with red eyes gleamed back at him. Not knowing what to do, he purposely fell onto the ground.. hoping the Death Eater didn't recognise that he was a wizard..

There was only a slight hiss in the air, before the Death Eater began to squirm its squishy body across the floor. He hopped back up, and began to imitate how the Death Eater infront of him hissed and squirmed.. hey, he was in Azkaban - and he didn't exactly want to be discovered. And eaten.

And so he squirmed across the floor, hissing randomly - whilst following the Death Eater infront of him. He stopped and hid around a corner while he watched the Death Eater walk into a room.. when suddenly there was a loud POOF! "What was that?!" He squirmed silently and ran into the room. There was no Death Eater in sight. "Where did he go..?"

It was then that he saw a box filled with a jillion Port Keys. And funnily enough, the box was labeled: A Jillion Port Keys. "Wow, just my luck!" He began to search madly through the box, sending Port Keys spilling onto the ground. Finally, when there was only one Port Key at the bottom of the box, he picked it up and read the label: To Hogwarts.

"This is it!" he yelled as he held the Port Key into the air, much like how Harry points his sword into the air..*cough* And with a POOF! and a cloud of smoke he disappeared.. to Hogwarts!

~ Ron, deatheater style!

(OOC: Nice layout. XD)

Remus yawned and stretched in the golden sunlight that pertruded from in between the shades of his window. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes and stumbled out of bed. He wobbled and changed his clothes and walked out into the hallway.

It was quiet, but it really depended on what time of day it was. Was it early in the morning, or was it mid-afternoon? What was going on?

Cho quickly ran to her room to lie down in her posterboard bed. She hugged her Hello Kitty plush, and gleamed with joy. "Wait, I need to go find the "other me" she whispered to herself. She ran to Trelawny's room, she quickly scrambled for her amulet to find nothing, suddenly her arm was grabbed and she was flung across the chamber into the stone wall. She was knocked out. The other Cho skipped off to trick the others, Cho needed to know why she was being replaced?

Friday, October 25, 2002 :: 07:27 p.m.

Draco looked up to see a pretty girl looking down at him and Pansy. She looked quite familiar, but he could seem to place his finger on exactly who she was. She had a small, nervous sort of smile on her face. Pansy looked up. "Everyone's probably inside - it was just lunch - we just decided to have our lunch outside," she said in a quick sort of voice. "I'm not sure where the Headmaster is, but I think he's in his office."

The girl smiled and thanked them with a small accented voice, and left. Draco stood up a few minutes later and Pansy followed him back into the castle. He headed up to the Owlery to go send off a letter that he and Pansy had written during the lunch asking his mother if she would be able to come with him for Halloween. When they got up there, Pansy made a small sound and rushed back to the common room because she realized that she had just forgot to hand in some homework for Professor Snape that was due just before lunch.

Draco looked around for his eagle owl, but couldn't seem to find it. He sat down, and in a few minutes, it came fluttering in through the windows and sat upon his outstretched hand. It hopped down onto Draco's knee, and the boy tied the message to its leg, then watched it fly off into the horizon. He flicked his hair out of his eyes and was about to leave when he saw a piece of parchment that was sitting in his bag. He opened it.

Draco,

Game's up.

The parchment burnt up in a flash of smoke and Draco coughed and swore very loudly for a few seconds. He suddenly stopped and blinked, then tested out his voice again.

"I can talk again?!"

(OOC: Argh, I'll try to write less. XD I love the new layout, thanks Janine! ^^ Ooooh, and we have 2 new RPGers... hi Alicia and Fleur! ^^)

~ Draco, hopefully back into action!

Harry quickly bolted out the now unlocked door and frantically searched around, looking for any signs of Ron - and failing, at that.

"Ron!" he yelled out, hoping for a response, anything.
A few minutes passed, but nothing. Nothing at all.

"Harry!"

The call came from his left. He spun around and saw Ron running towards him.

"Ron!" Relief washed through his whole body. "Ron! Where were you? I thought that... But nevermind. Are you ok?"

Ron had a puzzled look on his face. "Yeah, I'm fine, of course. And you?"

"Same."

"Oh! Someone took Cho away and ran off, I nearly forgot! We've got to save her, Harry!"

Harry's eyes went wide at the remark, Cho?

"Where'd they go?"

"This way!" Ron said, gesturing to the direction. Harry just nodded and both of them went off. It was just too bad that Harry was oblivious to the smirk that was all over Ron's face as he ran in front, leading the way towards a trap.

(OOC: I know, I know, this is more than what I asked for, which means I'm breaking my own rule. I think I was kinda strict with that. But I just want everyone to write less - if possible. That's all. ^^; And Alicia, Fleur, once I find a lil' pic I can use for both of you, I'll add you both up. I'll do that tomorrow~)
