 *Nothing to see here* Drake, Archie, Emma and Regulus
It took a lot of effort for Sloane not to be visibly annoyed as more students joined their group. Drake and Archie were necessary but if anymore people showed up, they'd have enough to fill a clown car. The more students that were there, the more likely one of them would call her out as she tried to slip away, after all. She’d been so focused on her plan to slip away unnoticed that she hadn’t even grabbed one of the small bags from the professor, something she only noticed as one of the older Slytherin’s (Regulus) forced their way into their group. She eyed him for a for a moment, trying to remember something about him but was no use.
She didn’t exactly have long to think about that however when someone slipped right next to her, linking their arms together. Her head spun around so quickly there was every chance she looked like an owl, such was her surprise. iF IT hadn’t been for the fact she was trying to be nicer to people, she may well have ripped her arm out from Emma’s in record pace. Instead, she simply did her best to slip har arm free of Emma's before forcing her face into an expression that didn’t resemble thunder and replying, “sURE. Why not. The more the merrier!”
Ych. She was one happy adjective away from throwing up in her own mouth or over someone else.
Keeping with the group, she followed the trail into the forest, her wand clutched tightly in her hand as her eyes scanned the darkness. It didn’t take her long to spot some of unicorn hair, glimmering in the wand light in one of the bushes just off of the trail. Not wanting to draw too much attention to herself, she shot Drake a look, hoping that he’d do something to draw some attention away from her just off the trail towards the unicorn hair or at least, that’s what she’d say if they stopped her from walking past it into the darkness. Quickly and without much warning, she took a first small step off the path towards the unicorn hair, stopping only for a moments hesitation before continuing into uncharted territory. It was surprising how quickly the darkness swallowed her, even with her wand still out illuminating the various large roots and detritus. Whilst in reality, she was only a few feet off of the path, truthfully, the darkness made her feel…uncomfortable. |
