Lyra's face fell into her hands as she giggled to herself. "A shame," she tried to whisper then pressed her lips together. Oh my gosh! Lyra was now stuck like glue to Agie. It was almost as if now that Christian was not around as much, Agie was there to keep her going in the adventure department. Now where was that boy? she thought to herself wondering what he was getting himself into now. She turned back to Agie and leaned in for a whisper that no one else could hear. "I would help. No one would know."

Rhiannon had been standing next to Josh, about to respond to his comment about saving panthers being better than Quidditch or summer in California, when the panther had dug her claws into her back. Shocked, she had frozen for a few seconds, and when she came back into herself, Amelia was kneeling by the panther, who was apparently petrified and being sprayed with potion by Professor Erikson. Josh was on the ground nearby, with Lyra.

Heading over to Josh, who had moved near the panther himself, she acknowledged everyone before quietly saying, "If you're not going to go to the hospital, Josh, do you mind if I try something? I mean, it really looks like your back must be painful. And you tried to help me when I was having problems."

Agie just grinned at Lyra and started to walk over to Mia. She stopped and turned back around to Lyra and gave her a wink. Agie pretended to go over to see Josh, she was on her was and 'accidentally' tripped over, falling on Mia and her sobbing over the panther. Agie quickly grabbed Mia's prefect badge and put it in her pocket. "Oh Sorry Mia. I didn't see you there. Do try to relax, the panther deserved to be stunned. Josh did the right thing." She said, with a fake smile. Agie went back to Lyra, with her lips pressed together to stop from laughing. She did however mouth "got it" and gave her another wink.

Josh turned to look at rhiannon as she spoke. He looked just a little pale.. at least compared to what he normally looked like. she wanted to try something. he looked at her as he thought about it...he trusted her he just didnt know if it was smart to let anyone try anything on him. He was losing blood and he wasnt going to be able to make it the hospital wing. He was tired from just carrying the Grateful animal to the fifth floor."sure. What do you want me to do?" he asked her.

Jason asked the professors " Could He sleep with the Red Fox here or take him somewhere he can't be found unless we need to wait for potion to be done. Josh and Jason are not freinds but not real enemies either so Jason asked Josh. "Will you be ok? Jason gives the Fox some lettuce.

Rhiannon couldn't resist rolling her eyes again. What did he think she was going to do? He was in pain, she wasn't going to kick him while he was down or anything. Finally, she spoke. "You don't have to do anything. Just stay there." She took her wand out and waved it over his back, thinking about the wound-healing spell she had read about a while before coming here. She was slightly surprised when the scratches on his back actually seemed to start to heal.

Looking back at him, she said, "How do you feel now?" He seemed to have regained a little more color in his face.

Josh smiled at jason as he asked him if he would be okay." Eventually. Thanks." he said to the gryffindor. "i apperciate it." he said as he gave him a small nod.

"sounds pretty easy." he said as he stayed where she she had instructed him to stay. he winched a little when she casted the spell on him as it started to heal. "awesome." he said with a small smile. He was still tired, but at least the pain was lessing. "what did you do?" he asked curious. It seemed that mia was more concerned about the panther then anything else. He turned to rhiannon as he waited for the answer.

"What did I do?," she repeated incredulously. Did she actually have to answer that? It seemed pretty obvious to her what she had done. Oh well. Answering him anyway, she said, "A basic wound healing spell that I'd read about a while back. Never gotten the chance to see if I could successfully cast it before." She grinned. "Not like I was happy you got hurt so you could be my guinea pig. You just had to be in the position of being hurt while I was around, and I thought of the spell."

Josh chuckled a little as he told her." Rhiannon, i trust you. thats not what i meant. I wanted to know what spell you used?" he said smiling at her. he then laughed as he added," if you used me as your guinea pig it wouldnt hurt my feelings...its not like i havent been turned into one of those before." he chuckled again as he then asked her." Would you mind helping me getting over there." he said looking over towards lyra and agie.

Rhiannon looked a little hurt at what he said at first. "I never thought you didn't trust me. And I've never turned anyone into an animal . . . as of yet." She grinned. As he asked her for some help, she smiled again. "Sure." She helped him get up. And then followed him as he went over to the two girls, seeing as she was more than a little curious what they were getting into this time.

he smiled as she helped him up." A professor turned me into a fur ball last year." he explained." Which just happened to be a guinea pig." josh made his way over to the girls as he smiled at them both. "thank you rhiannon." he said smiling at her. She was a good friend..not to mention they were always fighting..but in the good way."hi..." he said to the two. he saw what agie did... and he was rather excited about it.

Rhiannon laughed. "A professor turned you into a furball this year as well," she reminded him. "You're welcome," she added, in response to his thanking her. As he said hi to Agie and Lyra, she hung back a few steps. She wasn't really sure if she was welcome or not. That seemed to be a problem when being friends with different people.

"yeah.. what do you know. I guess its destiny for me to be a fur ball every year huh?" he teased as he saw her shrink back a little." Hey lyra you know rhiannon." he then chuckled a little." from the hallways after class. Agie this is rhiannon, agie." he said introducing everyone.

Rhiannon laughed as Josh joked about being turned into furballs. As he decided to introduce her, she smiled a bit. "I met Agie while we were all out at the lake searching for the students. After the Slytherin/Hufflepuff game." It wasn't so much a matter of not knowing the girls, as much as not really knowing what they thought of her that was making her stay back.

"I hope this works its been way too long" said Barry looking at Excellior

Noise noise noise... So much chatter, so much noise, surrounding him as he was trying to-- what was he doing? Something seemed to flash across his eyes and he shook his head, but it was no use. No use! He slammed his fist against a wall, creating a lound BANG!! "ENOUGH!!"

He flinched, supposedly at his hand but really at the loss of control. He took a deep breath, calming himself. "This is not the place for such constant chatter. If you could please either wait quietly and patiently for this to work, or take it outside, it would be greatly appreciated." He seemed calm, but something in his eyes said that 'greatly appreciated' was an understatement. Not that he really expected the students to believe he was calm after that little outburst.

Barry was supprised at what the proffese had just done and he shut his mouth he didn`t want another detention

Lyra snickered to herself at Agie as she once again covered her face, pressing her lips together. But to keep from making a scene, she wrinkled her nose and gave a nod of her head to let her know 'way to go'. Her smile was priceless.

And then, she noticed that Josh made his way over to where Agie and Lyra stood, with the help of Rhiannon. She smiled at Rhiannon, then moved to get Josh a chair to sit in. He may have been a bit hard headed at times, but if he needed help getting to where she and Agie stood, then there was a problem. She was thankful for what Rhiannon did for him, she was a true friend to him.

But as she was about to speak to Rhiannon, she jumped completely out of her skin to the horrible sound of a professor yelling. If it weren't for the eagle she and Agie brought in, then she would have been more than happy to leave, but she was more than curious to see if the potion worked. Her eyes shifted from side to side as her heart began to race from being scared. Now she wished they would have gone to Fabian's instead. At least they had breathing room over there.

She pushed her hair over to the side to hide her face from some of the people in the room as she made a face to Agie, Josh and Rhiannon, then rolled her eyes. Clearly she was not going to speak for the time being. She reached back with her hand and began to stroke the eagle once more to make sure she was comfortable. She was still asleep and was thankful.

Cassandra walked in the doorway, the Squirrel Monkey, cradled asleep in her arms. "Shhhhhh" she hissed as she walked in and in a whisper she added, "He's asleep... but Weasley believes he's a student." Cassandra kinda didn't want him to be... she wouldn't have minded keeping the critter.

A terrible loud noise made Agie turn around. The professor was going on about some useless stuff, blah blah no noise blah blah. She rolled her eyes and looked back at Lyra.

Agie was happy to see Josh coming over, she gave him a wink. He'd be fine, Agie knew Josh was strong and he wouldn't let an injury like this get to him. She smiled at Rhiannon for bringing Josh over.

Agie nodded in agreement about how she met Rhiannon. She mouthed her words, "Hey! Thanks for helping Josh" and gave her a smile. Too bad she was Mia's friend. She'd have to show Josh and Lyra, Mia's prefect badge later.


Agie loved it when Lyra tried to keep her giggles in. Although it was rather dangerous because it made her want to giggle even more. She turned her head and looked back at Josh, and gave him a smile. Agie had a feeling that Josh had caught her out, taking Mia's prefect badge. She looked from Lyra to Josh and patted on her pocket, where the badge was kept.

Slight giggle were escaping Agie, so she decided to look at the ground. There was an interesting stain that was keeping her mind busy, for now.

Agie was watching Lyra stroke the eagle. She was going to be sad to see the eagle go.

The fox was shocked when he felt the spray hit his body. What was this, some kind of attack by the two legged creatures? He began to go into a panic. He blacked out on the floor, unable to defend himself from the attacks or do anything.

Slowly, he began to regain consciousness. He shook his head, there was something wrong with it. Something had definitely changed. All the vague memories and dreams that he had been having lately were now starting to become quite clear to him. It was still a jumble to him, but the fog was starting to lift that had shrouded him for so long. He shook his head again as the reality began to slowly dawn on him.

The Eagle screeked loudly as it was sprayed, not liking the feeling fof the liquid running down its feathers. She was noit happy with the noisee either; all she wanted was sleep, sleep and water. She shook her head, her golden brown eyes shooting darts at the one who held her, until she was passed around like a piece of candy and set on a table.

Screeching again she tried to sit up but the ropes were beginning to dig into her. Slowly she lowered her head in an attempt to cut away the ropes with her powerful beak. She didn't like being ignoed so she screeched again, attempting to tell the Earth Walkers she wasn't happy. Some of her stregnth had come back after eating the worms and shewas feeling nervous.

Rhiannon relaxed a fraction when Lyra smiled at her. It seemed like she was at least worthy of acknowledgment. Which helped her feel better. She had really not wanted to have to get used to being ignored, since it seemed like there were at least some people who accepted her. Although, she had a feeling that everything might have had something to do with her helping Josh out.

She was startled by Professor Erikson having some sort of mental breakdown or something. It didn't seem to her like it had been overly chaotic in the cupboard. At least, it appeared most of the animals who were there were controlled, and there were only a couple conversations going on. She stifled a giggle as Lyra made a face and rolled her eyes.

As Agie seconded her statement about when they had met, Rhiannon smiled. She mouthed "You're welcome" back at the Gryffindor in response to her thanks. It hadn't been a problem, helping Josh out. He was her friend, and as far as she knew, that was what friends did for each other.

She could tell that Agie was trying to hide something from her, and figured it had something to do with Amelia. She had known that her friendship with the Huffie prefect might cause problems. But she also enjoyed a good prank, and knew enough to stay back and not interfere. As long as no one was going to get physically hurt.

Amelia looked over to the professor as he complained of her covering too much of the panther, when she said that she didn't think it was sprayed enough. "Sorry Professor," she said quietly, scooting a bit away from the panther. "Do you think enough got sprayed on it or should you perhaps spray it once more?"

She watched quietly as Rhiannon used some sort of healing spell to heal Josh's back. She was quite in awe by her friend's skill with the wand, as Rhiannon always seemed to be able to do things perfectly without much practice. Guess that is why she's a Ravenclaw, she thought, giggling softly to herself.

Then, the next thing she knew, Agie had fallen on top of her, knocking her down onto her back. "Gerroff!!" the sixth year exclaimed, rather louder than she intended. As quickly as the girl was on top of her, she was off in a second... with her badge! Snapping up into a standing position, she strolled over to the Gryffindor captain. "Real mature," she said, rolling her eyes but had taken note of the pocket she had put the badge in before. Hesitating a moment, her hand swiftly went to the girl's pocket where she pulled it out and held it tightly. "I'll take that. Thank you." Grinning, she turned her back and walked towards the panther.

The Hufflepuff listened as Erikson seemed to flip out over all the noise that was happening in the room. Normally she would have left in a heartbeat, considering the crowd who was in here now. But since she had found and assisted in bringing the panther here, she was curious as to whether the potion would work. So she just say quietly beside it, waiting to see the results and curious how long it would take.

Lyra noticed that the eagle was not content in it's surroundings. Well, who wouldn't be in that state of mind. She continued to stroke the feathers trying to make it more comfortable for the eagle at the present time, but knowing that if she picked it up and it really was a student, she would be in trouble. She looked up to Agie with a concerned look and then back to the eagle. At this point, there was nothing more to do. If she took off the ropes, it had a chance to fly away, but there were no cages anywhere within the room. She tried to keep her hand at a distance from the sharp beak knowing that she did not want another bite to happen again, but the eagle was persistent in trying to set itself free. "Everything will be fine," she whispered as she took off her robes and placed it around the eagle for warmth once more.
