Artemis glanced back at Melania, who was now earnestly talking to the Potions master. What Slughorn couldn't see was the five or six crabs around the corner, eagerly spitting fire at Artemis, Cassie, Gen and John.
((That's Okay go with yours.))
"Flipendo, Flipendo, Flipendo, Flipendo, Flipendo, Flipendo." John said knocking all the crabs back.
((I'll do him))
"Oh Melania what are you doing here?" Slughorn asked surprised by her sudden appearance.
"Oh Melania what are you doing here?" Slughorn asked surprised by her sudden appearance.
"Stupefy!" shouted a new voice. It was Henry, his wand pointed at the fire crabs.
"Henry! How--" Cassie started, but a blast of fire cut her short.


Gen, blinked "Mel and I snuck out to adventure a little and then we got lost Professor
Artemis covered her mouth in shock.
"Henry," she sighed, relieved. She remembered him jinxing the crabs at Hagrid's class- this would be no problem. She stood up straight and Stunned another crab. Meanwhile, Melania was walking away with Slughorn, discreetly leading him away from the crab attack.
Her head ached as she Stunned crab after crab...she was aware of her sleeve being damp with blood.

"Always good to see a student interested in potions well this venom if your are bitten or injected with it it is certain you will die in an hour or less now there is a cure for it but its rather complicated." Slughorn said to her.

Well I deleted the one 'bout Gen saying something so no biggie :D)

The amount of crabs attacking them diminished as Cassie, Henry, Artemis, and John repeatedly threw jinxes.
Noticing Artemis covered in blood, Henry mouthed to Cassie and John. Finish this
He grabbed hold of Artemis. "We're finished here. Hospital Wing. Now."

Artemis felt weak with relief.
"Okay," she said. "Which way should we go?"
"Okay," she said. "Which way should we go?"
"Well what was the adventure?" Slughorn asked happily.
((Um, John, the venom isn't always fatal. I looked it up. I'm a stickler for accuracy. :) ))
(Groohoohoo, yay Ally! Hurrah! Art can die another day!)
He started weaving through trees, avoiding both Slughorn and the fire crabs, and gestured for her to follow. Breathing heavily, he spoke to her reassuringly. "Almost there."
Artemis ran as fast as she could after Henry, her arm aching. Gasping for breath, she ducked past the trees.
"How on earth," she said weakly, "did you ever manage to find us?"
"How on earth," she said weakly, "did you ever manage to find us?"
He snorted, glancing behind him, and jinxed a fire crab that had broken off to follow them.
"It wasn't easy."
Observing that Artemis was bleeding fairly heavily now, he paused, turning to her.
"Ferula," he whispered, and bandages now covered her arm.

As she was fending of the rest of the fire crabs with John, Cassie heard the Professor's voice grow louder. He was coming closer!
Hide, she mouthed to John, as she ducked behind a tree, continuing to stun the crabs nonverbally.

Artemis looked down at the bandages wrapped around her arm.
"Thank you," she whispered. "Thank you for helping us, too..." She paused. "I thought you'd come. I don't know what we would have done-"
She stumbled slightly as they reached the grounds, and made their way up the sloping hills.
"But the antidote. Henry, we got it." She showed him the phial of tree sap.

Henry glanced at the phial, nodding curtly. "Good."
They continued making their way through the forest, Artemis stumbling every once in a while, and Henry with his wand at the ready, prepared to fend off any creature they happened unto.
Finally, they reached the tunnel. Henry wrenched the door open.
"After you."

"After you."
Artemis ducked into the tunnel, followed by Henry. They started to hurry along the tunnel, panting as they ran.
"Henry," Artemis gasped as the sloping floors grew steeper, "those Tentacula plants...they really are venemous, aren't they?"
"Henry," Artemis gasped as the sloping floors grew steeper, "those Tentacula plants...they really are venemous, aren't they?"
Henry sighed. "We really don't have time for this, Jones." But as Artemis pushed him he relented.
"Yes, they're venomous. But judging on the way you're getting around, I know you're going to be alright. A lot of people survive bites from Venomous Tentaculas," he reassured her.
They made it to the end of the tunnel, panting heavily, and Henry helped Artemis through the door.

"Alright," Artemis said, looking less anxious. "Okay. You do have to wonder, though, why such dangerous plants feature so often in Herbology classes."
They started to climb a flight of steps to the fourth level, hurrying to the hospital wing.
"I hope the matron won't ask questions," Artemis said, her breathing quick.

"Well...it's like you said. The plants are often in the greenhouse..." He smirked. "Let's say...you got reckless and were unfortunately bitten?"
Artemis laughed breathlessly.
"Something like that," she said. They were running down the corridor to the hospital wing when Artemis stopped, her breathing ragged. She leaned one hand against the wall in an attempt to stay standing.
"I hate Herbology," she said, her voice faint.

Cassie sighed in relief. The fire crabs were gone and Melania had led Slughorn away on the pretense of some leaf. She and John stepped out from their hiding places.
"C'mon," she whispered, "we've got to catch up to Henry and Artemis. Mel and Gen are safe with Slughorn."
"C'mon," she whispered, "we've got to catch up to Henry and Artemis. Mel and Gen are safe with Slughorn."
Henry grunted. "I always thought Mandrakes were kind of cute..." he said sarcastically.
Eventually they came to the doors of the Hospital Wing. Henry opened them, calling for Madam Hammond.

(Totally, Al, see you there.)
(I just realized that we were in the forest, yet we rped in the passage the whole time...but I guess that is less confusing. Still, I'm going to post in the Hospital Wing!)

After explaining to Melania that the leaf was,in fact, not used in the polyjuice potion, Slughorn led the two girls back to the tunnel, as John and Cassie creeped silently behind them.
((Oops. posted at the same time.))
((Sorry I've been out can someone give a short explanation))
(Henry took Art to the wing as she was poisoned by the tentacula. The others fought off the crabs and explained to Slughorn why they were there. The antidote has been found.)
