Wandering through the woods - what a foolish, foolish thing.

The crunch of twigs underfoot was the aching reminder that in fact the Forbidden Forest was in fact forbidden and wasn't as pretty inside as it looked from the Ravenclaw Tower. This was a fact Dora had resigned her to accepting but she wasn't happy about it. She'd already been through enough for one day but it wasn't going to stop. It never did so why should she stop expecting the inevitable?

She'd been walking for what seemed like hours but in reality was probably only about half an hour - maybe three quarters. Her feet were aching but her muscles weren't as tense and she was more relaxed than before. However that wasn't particularly great because Dora was now lost. Curious isn't it that a Ravenclaw could be stupid enough to enter a forget that wasn't meant to be entered - hence the name.

But Dora wasn't one for her intelligence and often wondered how she ended up in Ravenclaw. She might of had enough brains to get herself out of situations like this but it wasn't as if she used them like other members of her house. It was school work for them. Dora was indifferent and preferred experience. That was something she could handle - something she was used to.

Sighing, Amadora sank down on a particularly moss-free log and dropped her head into her hands. She was lost and was probably not that far into the actual woods. But she didn't have any sense of general direction so how in the hell was she supposed to get out.. alive?

Death wasn't something Dora feared. Death of those she loved, yes, she feared that immensely. But her death would be the only thing she could look forward to in life. The inevitable. You're born, you get screwed over fifteen-hundred times and then you die. That's the only thing you can ever be sure of and Dora couldn't wait. She was even counting the days but she couldn't be sure when she would be offed because fate didn't work that way. Unfortunately.

The only thing she could be sure of now was that she was stuck in the woods alone. She was always banging on about wanting to be alone but now that she was, Dora wasn't sure she liked it one bit.

Danny started to go through the forest with the Lumos spell activated and the small light illuminating the darkness. People started to say that this one girl had been missing for some time and were worried since it was late at night. The teachers said they would go looking yet they probably wouldn''t. Most teaches never really cared anyway. Excpet for the headmaster and the assitant of the headmaster. They usually were the ones to go out looking. As Danny went through the forest, he kept his hands on the Siren allowing him to remain invisible, yet his hand burned greatly. He could barely tolerate it yet he would procede. Occasionally, the enchantment would wear off and would allow his hands to cool off. Yet it still burned more and more. Finally after a while of searching, Danny heard something snap and he turned instantly. "Who there?" he asked clamly

Dora jumped and toppled backwards off of the log she was sat on. She let out a scream and landed on the hard floor with her hair splayed out over the twigs. Dora blew a piece of hair out of her eyes and slowly pushed the log away with her feet so she was full on the floor. Dora slowly sat up and rubbed the back of her head. She pulled her hand back to check for blood - she found none but her head was pounding. Her back hurt quite a bit too.

Slowly getting to her feet and rubbing the small of her back to ease some of the ache that had now started to build there Dora looked around to see the light pointing in her direction. She swallowed and bit her lip. What could she say? Duh, her name. "Uhm, Amadora.."

Danny looked to where he had heard someone scream. He used the nox spell and immediatly went towards the girl who fell. He held out a hand oferring to help Amadora up. "Need a hand?" he asked

Dora nodded and took his hand. Once hauled to he feet she took a good look at the boy that had scared her. Well he wasn't a boy - she knew that much. Yet he wasn't quite man yet. It was that awful point of being so close but not close enough. He was quite a bit taller than her but everyone seemed to be 'a bit taller' than her 5'4. She hadn't seen that many muscles on a male before but she stopped herself from staring. For one it wasn't the done thing and another point was that she didn't want to become friends or even more with anyone. Ever. "You know, you could have been a bit more subtle." she said, rubbing the back of her head.

Danny shrugged a bit not really knowing what to say "This place is so mysterious, subtlety is usually out of the question. But sorry if I frightened you." He pocketed the Siren and looked at her once more. "What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

"I-its fine." Dora said, wondering what she could say in response. Why was she out there anyway? It was something she didn't know but perhaps she would find something to say. "I like the seclusion." That was good - good answer. "I got a bit lost though.."

"I see," he said looking around wondering where all the creatures were. It was one person out here by herself and he wondered where everything was. "Might as well start to head back to Hogwarts now. It's getting late and I don't feel like getting in trouble."

"I suppose." Dora shrugged. She pulled the red ribbon off of her wrist and tied her hair back with it before looking over to the boy. "Which way is Hogwarts anyway. I lost track a while ago it seems. You never mentioned why you were here either."

Danny froze for a second then tried to remember where he originally came from. Damn it happened again. "It's this way," he lied starting to walk slowly "and the reason why I'm out here is because 4 people have already been kidnapped. I really don't want a 5th one taken as well."
