At the wrong time (Ryan and Jenna)

[JENNA MARIE STONE]

A sleek white tiger was running through the forbidden forest pretty close to dawn, or so she thoght. The young tiger came to a stop and looked around before shifting into her human form. Jenna plopped down onto the ground and shut her eyes, she didn't know why she had wanted to be out so late from the castle. It might have been because she didn't want to be in her common room, or because she hadn't seen Baylee in so long. What ever the reason the young woman just needed to be out, and alone. As she was sitting in the grass letting her breathing calm down, she looked around the forest and shivered. This was a first for her, she hadn't been this deep into the woods before. She shivered a little and pulled her sweatshirt tighter around her body.

As Jenna looked around she felt like someone was watching her, but she didn't know for sure. She shrugged slightly and looked around again. She slowly got to her feet and started walking deeper into the woods. She didn't know why, but something felt wrong to her. This feeling she was having within her was something she wasn't used to, she felt like she was being drawn into a place where she wasn't supposed to be. Hell no student was supposed to be in here, but that was something she didn't listen to. This was a place for her to be alone and think. She stopped when she heard a twig snap, she spun around and looked around her, she didn't see anyone or anything, and she tried to calm her beating heart back to normal. She hated the feeling of being watched.

She looked around herself again before she decided to climb into a tree. She hiked up the tree and she sat on a branch and leaned her back against it. She looked up at the night sky, or what she could see of it and smiled a little. She didn't know why she felt so at ease by being in a place where she wasn't supposed to be. She knew she would end up falling asleep in classes tomorrow, but that didn't stop her in the least. She started swinging her legs back and forth slowly, then froze. There it was again, the feeling of being watched. She slowly drew out her wand and pointed it down at the ground, and she tried not to shift so she wouldn't give herself away to who ever was down there. She bit her lip and slowed her breathing slightly, and waited.

[RYAN ALEXANDER SIMONS]

The Forbidden Forest had always been a sort of meeting place for budding Death Eaters, or that was how Ryan would of liked to think of it. Hogwarts version of the Riddle Grave yard and the like. He remembered coming out here on the majority of his school nights with others, just to practice the Dark Arts. While some had left Hogwarts early, his parents had forced him to stay in the sorry excuse of a school. Ryan had always wanted to get out to see what he could do. Too bad the war had to come to an end before he could participate in it.

.... running. That's all he remembered doing that night. Running... on all fours, the moonlight reflecting off of golden fur; the ground was rushing by him as his legs pumped him to practically fly across the land like the majestic beast he was. Oddly enough, his legs carried him into none other then the Dark Forest. Into where it all began. Ryan shook out his mane. The place hadn't changed in the slightest... much to his relief. He could still run around here with his eyes closed, providing that the centaurs and other creatures didn't block his way.

While approaching what used to be his favorite tree, his massive paw snapped a twig. His ears flicked, not seeming to care. He was alone... right? That's when he decided to use his animal's senses. He let the lion sniff and take in the scents; then he realized that there was someone else around here. Ryan shrank down to his normal size and silently got up, taking his wand out. He glided silently and then finally saw the back of someone, faintly outlined against the dawn. She too, had her wand drawn; it seemed as if she knew that there was something going on around here.

She looked like she was a student of the school. He smirked. A bit late for her to be wandering out here alone. Intrigued by her late night stroll, Ryan followed her deeper in and watched her climb a tree. The Death Eater rolled his eyes. Didn't this girl have a shred of common sense? Wand still out incase she decided to strike, he stepped out of the undergrowth. "You know, being up there makes you an easier target," he commented dryly, his grey-blue eyes going up the tree and onto the girl now perched on there. The pas Slytherin crossed his arms and leaned casually against a tree, his eyes never wavering from the young lady up the tree.
