Forbidden Forest
Lilli stood, her eyes wide, listening. "I really hope I am wrong, but it isn't the area for normal wolves, and it is a full moon..."
Natasha slipped her wand out of her robes, quickly sending up red sparks with it.
"D-don't worry. Hagrid'll come for us." She smiled weakly, trying to reassure the girl.
But after they had waited a sufficient amount of time and Hagrid had still not come for them--or sent up sparks of his own--Natasha began to worry. What if it really was a werewolf?
She gasped as the howl grew closer. Too close.
"Lilli," she whispered, "run."
They both took off, weaving in and out of trees, going back the same way they came through.
Then--Natasha tripped and fell. Lilli kept on running, and Natasha got up to follow, when a twig snapped behind her.
She spun around and her eyes met--the werewolf's. She stood frozen in place, entranced. Neither one of them moved. Natasha couldn't call for Lilli; she couldn't do anything--except stare at the creature.
It was smaller than her, brown fur, and almost--well, childlike. It stood, just a few feet away, observing her with sad eyes.
Natasha held her breath, waiting.

((sorry about the length. It just kind of wrote itself in my head.))
((No problem)) Lilli stood breathless, her mind had stopped working but apperently not her body because she pulled out her wand and made red sparks fly at the creature, scaring it momentarily, though she knew that moment was short. "Natasha come on!" Natasha got up and they ran through the woods, taking random turns until Lilli tripped over her own feet, scraping her left arm... again. She grunted and kept running.
Breathing rapidly, Natasha zipped through the forest, Lilli on her heels. Finally, after many scrapes and much running, they made it to the edge of the forest. As they collapsed onto the grass two thoughts weighed heavily on Nat's mind.
What just happened?--and--where was Hagrid?
What just happened?--and--where was Hagrid?
Lilli was panting heavily, her arm bleeding on to the grass and making her shirt sticky. Suddenly a thought struck her. "We need to get a professer now. Hagrid could still be out there with the werewolf."
Natasha gulped and nodded. She kept seeing the sad eyes of the werewolf...surely it wouldn't hurt Hagrid...
She shook herself. No, they had to get help. Scrambling off of the ground, she offered a hand to Lilli.

Lilli took it gratefully. "And the running starts again."
They took off for the castle.

Andi slowly walks through the forest. She gazes around her, looking for any sign of Anna, Eva, or Eriq. She glanced up at the trees and saw a foot hanging down. She knew it was Eriq because of his shoes. She walked up to the tree and cleared her throat.
Mod
((Haha whoops sorry!))
Andi looked up at Eriq. "I'm not here to tell you off or anything. I'm just kind of delivering a message." She sighed. "Anna is your best friend, right? She wants what's best for you. And she came into the Forbidden Forest to look for you. She knew the risks. That just means she loves you. So please, if you're going to ignore everyone, don't ignore Anna." Andi sighed again. "And honestly? You're a pretty cool person. I'd love to be friends. But Anna is lucky to have you in her life. And you're lucky to know her. So don't put this on her shoulders. Both of us were just trying to help." By the end of her little speech, Andi had sat down by the tree trunk. She made lines in the air with the light.

Andi didn't hear a reply and she knew she had gotten her point to him. "Well, thanks for listening I guess." She said. "And don't hurt yourself climbing." Andi sat on the ground for a moment. She used her wand and made a little fireworks show, green and gold and bright colors shot out of her wand.
Mod
Andi walked to the edge of the Forest. She looked up and saw Eriq at the top of one of the trees. Even though she was sure Eriq couldnt see her, she gave Eriq a small smile. She sat at the edge of the forest on another trunk and took out her book. Then she wondered where Eva was, and she also wondered if Eriq would be ok.
Mod
Andi felt something rush past her and she saw Eriq sprinting towards the castle. She sighed and stood.
"Eva!" She called out. "Eva!!"
"Eva!" She called out. "Eva!!"
Andi sighed, frustrated. Eriq was doing bad, Anna felt that it was her fault, Andi was just trying to help out which kind of worked, and now Eva was lost.
"Eva!!" She yelled again and sent green sparks shooting into the sky over and over again.
"Eva!!" She yelled again and sent green sparks shooting into the sky over and over again.
Andi heard a scream, something that could probably be heard from the castle. She ran into the forest, not caring where she was going.
"Eva!!!"
"Eva!!!"
Andi smacked into someone. Then she saw Eva and sighed with relief. She hugged Eva.
"Thank goodness you're ok!"
"Thank goodness you're ok!"
Andi laughed. "It's totally fine! Me too, I'm terrible." She took out her wand and used a spell to help find their way back. Finally they made it to the edge of the forest.
Andi looked at Eva. "Is your head ok? What happened?"
Andi looked concerned. "We should go to the Hospital Wing."
"We'll at least get some ice." Andi said as they walked back to the castle.
Becca walked into the Forbidden Forest after her encounter with John. "I could never stay angry at John. But Melania hurt me. And I can't forgive her," she said to no one in particular. She saw thestrals and unicorns walking around. She sat on a log and took out a piece of parchment, and started to sketch the wildlife. "I hope John happens to look in his pocket. I drew what I see whenever I look at him," she said to herself.
Anna was walking through the forest when she suddenly heard a voice. "Hello?" She called.
"Hello? Anna?" Becca replied as she recognized the voice.
"Becca?" Anna walked over and finally saw her. "Oh, hi! What are you doing out here all alone?"
"Getting away from all the drama and people that hate me."
"Who would hate you? You are amazing!" Anna said.
"Everyone. Thanks to some people," she said.
"What happened? I just barely got back from my Dad's office. I don't hate you. You are like a sister to me!" Anna said outraged.
"It's nothing. Maybe you'll hear it around," she said s she continued sketching.
"Oh, um Becca have you seen Eriq? I haven't seen him since I got back." Anna said trying to change the subject.
"He's in the Room of Requirement, painting in his studio. Of you know what it looks like. He drew me some gorgeous pictures. It's our little piece of escape," she told her.
"Oh. That's cool, you guys should show me sometime. And you could come to hogsmeade with me and Eriq cause I already promised him that when I got back we would go." Anna said.
"Maybe not. I'm not really in the mood to see a lot of people."
"That's okay. If you see Ethan around, tell him I need to see him."
"Thanks," she said as she turned back to the thestrals.
"So did you meet Eva or Ethan first?" Anna asked her.
"Oh, I met Eva first. You know you guys are a lot alike in some ways. You both love to draw for instance." Anna said to Becca.
They continued looking for the berries and mushrooms. After 15 minutes of not finding anything, Natasha sighed.
"Honestly, how does Slughorn keep his cupboards stocked? I mean--" but the rest of her sentence was cut off by a howl.
She nudged Lilli. "What was that?"
