Young, dumb, stupid

Michelle had decided to skip her classes today, at WizGiz she had mentioned it to Kole too and well the boy wanted to come with her. Well to be honest Elle didn't mind the idea, even if at first she had wanted to be alone. Then again she never minded that Kole was there. He was good friend, never judged her. Was there when she needed him, like yesterday after the class. So now she agreed that she can come with her.

They agreed to meet at Whopping tree, well near it. This was where she was heading now, instead of her class. The girl couldn't even remember what class it was. Then again it didn't matter to her much. All she wanted was to stay away from her classmates, who spread awful rumors about out her, without knowing the truth.
She soon reached to her desination and sighed. She took a deep breath.

"Hey, Kole," she said with a ssmile on her face and did actually give hug to the boy, as greeting. Elle did it at times.

Kole had managed to slip away from the watchful eyes of the professors, determined to keep his promise to meet Michelle at the Whomping Willow. As he approached, he saw her standing there, looking troubled. Despite her unease, she greeted him with a warm embrace.

"Hey Elle," Kole said with a chuckle. "You ready to get out of here?"

Kole quickly cast a spell at the knot on the bottom of the tree, causing it to freeze and making it safe for them to climb into the hole that led to the tunnel. The passageway was dark and musty, and spider webs clung to their faces as they made their way through.

Finally, they emerged from the tunnel and found themselves in the Shrieking Shack, an abandoned and eerie building on the outskirts of Hogsmeade.

Elle nodded her head and had no clue what will be waiting for her here now. The girl took a deep breath and followed the boy now. She had no idea what is waiting for her.

"Ewww," she said when she saw sppider webs, Elle had never been fan of spiders to be honest, those things scared her. Anyways at least they managed to get through that tunnel without running into none fo them but the still the girl kept holding into Kole's arm.

She smiled when they got out of the tunnel. "Oh woah, didn't even know this tunnel existed," she had to admit.

As they walked, Kole couldn't help but smile as Michelle clung to his arm. "You know, I read about this tunnel in a book for one of my classes," he said, gesturing around them. "Apparently, it was put in for Professor Lupin's father when he was a student."

Kole continued, explaining that Lupin's father was a werewolf and used the tunnel to escape during the full moon. Michelle looked both fascinated and unnerved by the story, but Kole could see that she was starting to relax as they made their way through the tunnel.

As they emerged from the other end, Kole pointed out that they were just outside Hogsmeade. Michelle looked around, taking in the quaint village with its charming shops and cozy pubs. Kole could see the tension in her shoulders beginning to ease as they walked through the town, enjoying the freedom of being away from Hogwarts for a little while.

Michelle listened Kole's story about the tunnel and this made be fasincnated and same time bit reavled. She was still bit nervous about all this. She was bit unnerved for sure. Then again she had never head it or read about it. Then again she never read every story in their books.

"Anyways yeah thanks, for bringing me here," she said to the boy and did finally let go his arm when they walked around the town. It was so good to be away from Hogwarts fro awhile. She hoped they won't get in any trouble now."What we gonna do now?" she asked with a smile. The girl had no actual plans yet what to do here. Elle began to finally relax a bit. Here was no rumors about her, it was peaceful and just her and Kole mostly.

When Michelle let go of his arm, Kole felt a twinge of sadness. He knew she needed some space and time to process everything that had been going on. "You needed the break," he said softly. "I understand. You've had a lot on your plate lately, what with my sister dating your brother and all the drama with the asshat. But today, let's just forget about all that."

As they walked through the house, Kole searched for a place to take Michelle that would offer some peace and quiet. Finally, his eyes fell on an old boarded-up door. Without hesitation, he removed the boards, revealing a hidden entrance. "After you, m'lady," he said with a goofy grin, bowing and gesturing for Michelle to enter.

Michelle nodded her head. "I'm fine with those dating really. I am," she said with a smile. She really was. "But yeah that asshat, ruined by days at school for sure," she greed on that. She really need some quiet place.

She looked around and just wondered where they could go. When close removed those boards, she raised her eybrows. "Oh, okay, where u leading me now, no more spider webs?" she asked being curious. She walked into the secret enterance now. "Woah," was what the girl could say.

Kole couldn't help but laugh as Elle walked past him outside of the shrieking shack. "I don't blame you for not wanting any more spiderwebs," he said, grinning. "How about we sneak into Honeydukes and then find a nice, quiet spot to hang out?" he suggested and joined her out into the rule free world.

Elle smiled at Elle and nodded her head. "I hate spiders, their digusting creatues," she said there with shiver even. "Yes im Slytherin who is afriad of them," she said with giggles there. She even found it funny herself at times.

"Oh sure Honeydukes sounds like lovely idea," she agreed with Kole and began to slowly walk towards the place. "You know way to sneak in there too unnoticed?" she asked from Kole.

Kole shook his head in response to Michelle's question. "No, I don't have a foolproof plan to sneak in undetected," he said, "but that's not going to be a problem for you. What do you want?" Kole took charge and led the way towards Hogsmeade, mentally preparing a shopping list. He stopped at the town's outskirts and turned to Michelle. "You wait here; I'll take care of everything," he instructed before sprinting off to the store.

In no time, Kole returned with a handful of sweets. "Voilà!" he exclaimed, holding the treats out to Michelle. "Lead the way, boss," he said with a grin, ready to follow her lead.
