Sebastian pushed a small boulder around a small ledge in the cliff, getting it as close to the fire as he could in the crowd. He sat on it, thinking about how uncomfortable it felt on his rear end. He shifted a little, waiting for Professor Lainey to begin her story. |
"Everyone settled in?" Lainey asked, wiggling her socked toes at the fire. "I brought you all here because it goes along with another mystery of Thomas." Lainey pointed to the cave behind her. "Many think this next story happend right here at this cave. I'm not so sure, but who am I to say?" Lainey stood up and circled the fire as she began to talk. "The story begins with a Yule Ball. I'm not sure all of you are old enough to have ever attended a Yule Ball, but it's basically just a dance. Boys, usually, ask a girl to go. In this case, Thomas asked a young girl to go. Like I said before, Thomas was very focused on his studies, and his own agenda, so I'm pretty confident in saying that he just chose this girl to be his date. Not to be a girlfriend." Lainey cleared her throat and continued after picking up a large stick and poking the fire a few times. "This girl had a bit of a reputation though. She was a gossip and known to be heavy on the exagerations on her stories. Cute girl, I'm told, but not many listened to her for obvious reasons." "I'm sure you all know a few people like that?" Lainey laughed. She sure did. "But anyways, this girl, she took up following Thomas. She liked him. He was, afterall, a very handsome young man. One day, she followed him into the Forbidden Forest and kept out of sight. Some say... they came to this very spot." Lainey grinned and pointed to the cave... |
Linnea couldn't help but nod. Of course she knew someone like that. Several someones more like. She made a funny face. The girl followed Thomas? Hmph, wasn't much of a woman then........then Linnea remembered her activities of her first year, following Riyon. But....that was for information, he had been stalking Riiya....did it really matter that he and her had later.....she forced herself not to think of it. Linnea looked around. A cave. Caves could hide things. Important things. Important things have happened in caves. She felt herself wrap her arms around her body as if she were cold. |
Julia listens to the story intentively, her eyes following Lainey as she walks around the campfire then pokes it. After awhile she goes back to staring into the fire, watching it crackle. She shoots a glance at the cave behind them, looking into the darkness of it. Raising an eyebrow, she looks back into the fire, waiting for the professor to continue. |
Sebastian nodded to himself. He knew quite a few people like that around the school, some that he wished he did not know. He leaned forwards, trying to get more warmth from the fire. He was interested in what Thomas was doing at the cave. Surely, such a smart person at that age would not go wandering through the Forbidden Forest alone, unless there was a powerful reason behind it. |
Matt looked over at the cave and had to stiffle a laugh. That cave? Surely people wouldn't think that Thomas would chose a cave so close to the edge of the forest to go to. |
Serilda cocked an eyebrow. Cave? she thought. Hrm...interesting.She stared at the fire, watching the flames dance in the wind. |
g_g liked being where the action was...literally where it was. though the place was a bit scary, she pictured the scene on what might have happened here. |
Tas' eyes widened as she felt fear creeping down her spine. She turned to Lainey and looked at her with a shock on her face, then turned to the cave again. She was more than sure now that her theory was right and she promised herself to go to the library right after the class. |
Crystal had never ventured into the Forbidden Forest, and still wasn't sure she wanted to be here. She never missed class though, and her fears weren't enough of an excuse to miss a class. She listened to the story Professor Lainey told. *I wonder why he chose her.....* Crystal thought. The more she heard about this Duskurk boy, the less she liked him. She shivered a bit, and moved a bit closer to the fire and the people surrounding it. |
lizzy listened intently. she wondered what happened to girl or if anyone really knew what happened. she sat closer to the fire warming her hands on the naked flames. |
Edaj sat and listened, not speaking but wanting the professor to go on. |
Phoebe listened waitinig for the proffesor to continue exited that they weren't in a classroom. |
Edaj moved over to Phoebe when Professor Lainey wasn't paying attention, she thought, "hey i dont' know about you but i dont' understand any of this" she said ooc: and what about dolls? *looks at first post* |
"Now the story I'm going to tell you is from the girl's version of what happend that night. So, whether or not it's true or just another extravagent tall tale, I do not know. I imagine only Thomas and the girl know." Lainey levitated a big log over the students' heads and on to the fire. The sparks shot way up in the air and for a moment each face was illuminated bright. "So, she followed him to a cave. Maybe this cave, who knows? And she hid behind a large boulder near the cave and watched as he started adding things to a steaming cauldron. Supposedly, next he began chanting a complicated incantation over the cauldron bubbles." Lainey looked around a shifty look on her face. "According to the girl, a specter rose up from the cauldron...." |
Lee smiles at the story, its a good interesting tale not one he wouldn't reread if he could. He suddenly turns to his side and shakes Linny all of a sudden screaming "Boo!" in her ear. He laughed so hard that he fell of his stool. |

"wow" lizzy said to herself. this story was getting better and better. history of magic was definitely her favourite class. she listened intently to the professor. |
srimathi was very interested in the story.she said softly to herself yennado atha.and continued to take notes |
Erin watched the fire, mezmerized both by the flames and the story. She wondered what would happen next. |
Brittany shivered...the chilling story sent goosebumps up and down her arms. Leaning closer to the fire, Brittany pondered upon the story..stories often did stretch the thruth sometimes but then again, this sounded truthful. But shaking her head she leaned in listened intently. |
Matt was smiling as he listened to the story. Professor Lainey was quite the storyteller. He was wrapped up in that so, when the Ravenclaw girl was suddenly in his lap, he let out a surprised, "Hey!" Before he could decide whether to push her to the ground or help her up, she scooted off his lap and fell on his feet instead. "You okay?" he asked, holding a hand out to her. |
Phoebe raised her hand slightly embarresed, "whats a spectrum proffesor?" She asked. |
Emma listened to the story intently, eyes wide. |
Lainey stared at her class. Most were completely wrapped up in the story, and then there was her prefect, Lee, and Matt causing chaos. "Linnea I'm surprised you let Lee get you like that. If you really wanted snuggle time with Matt, I suggest you do it on your own time. Now where were we." Lainey winked at Thorn and continued with the story, answering a question as she went. "A specter, Phoebe, is a ghost like creature." Lainey knew all about that, she thought quickly to herself. "An apparition if you will. A mist of sorts." Lainey nodded, and started circling the fire again. "Thomas looked extremely excited about his accomplishment. But in a flash, his mood changed. He seemed disappointed or angry as the specter began to hiss. Then, once again, the mood switched. After a few minutes, Thomas smiled and started hissing back to the specter. Things seemed to be going well for Thomas.... when, they both seemed to sense her presence..." |
