Nadia stares at the building transfixed. Couple of minutes pass, the students chatter dies to some point. Nadia, slowly, starts walking to the end of the entrance. Tuoches the door, and then continues to walk, one hand always touching the entrance until getting to the very back of the building. Of course, it's still closed. So much for the escapades about, but the place she was now was good enough. She takes something out from her robes, tied to her neck, and blows on it.

Seconds later flapping noises starts to be heard. It yet took sometime. The place isn't as deserted as always, Nadia considered, so it might not be safe this time...

A Phoenix is the first to appear, because of it living in the forest. Bloody red in the wings and torso, and sunshine gold on the tail and beak. It's young, yes, but it was aging, Nadia thought.

Next the flapping got much much worst. Nadia felt blows of air hit her face and various screetches.

Four owls decended and perched themselves at various of the trees of the forest. All of them were trained and none of them attempted to perch themselves on Nadia's shoulder -- well, save for Sedna and Sparky who were the younger.

"Nice now... let's start."


(In Short: PM is back!)

Riiya walked to the pathway leading to the shreaking shack. her mind was distracted. she didn't notice where she was going. she suddenly paused in her tracks and looked up at the Shack with a vacant expression. her silver-blue eyes turned as silver as the moon at night. she seemed to be concentrating on something. "briagh..." she said softly.

then, she snapped. her eyes went back to normal. "wha-?where??" she looked around at her surroundings. "where am i??" her eyes moved to the sign saying, "Shreaking Shack"
she was shocked. she clicked her heels and ran back to Hogsmade.

Peony wandered up the path towards the Shack. It was a ramshackle, dusty looking place. Certainly didn't look like much. Peony was seized with an urge to go in, and she placed her hand on the door, preparing to push it open.

Then she leapt away as a tingle shot up her arm threateningly. Had the teachers of the school placed the charm there? Or was it....

Something else?

Her imagination?

Peony didn't know.

Jaren leaned against the rickety fence surrounding the Shrieking Shack, observing it with detatched curiousity. It was right that it was closed off--no telling what state the insides were, for all he knew the floor might have collapsed. After a while, he turned around and walked back to a more populated area of Hogsmede, raven flying close behind him.

Ashlie snickered a little at Peony. "Honestly, you," she teased. "I figured we both knew very well that there was no way to enter this place. Shame, really. Ramshackle as it may be, I would actually love to explore it. I've heard many stories about werewolves and Animagi." Her eyes twinkled and she leaned against the fence.

Peony nodded, turning back to look at the house. "I know," she said slowly. "You just get the feeling that in any one of those darkened windows, a woman's terrified face will appear. Or a bleeding hand, or something."

"Ahh, the fascination of Haunted Houses has filled the minds of many of us," she said. "Personally, I don't much care for them. But, something about this Shack. The fact that it has a history, a past of so much. Oh... if there was any way to get in, I would be the first to do so. But, I suppose there are reasons no one is allowed in. Preservation for one. And, I'm sure that Hogsmeade wishes not that they're best attraction becomes a snogging point for Hogwarts students."

Again, Nadia was back there. She was more... secretive... this time maybe, she had less time too. Getting at the very back of the shack, she pulled that thing from her neck. She stumbled to one side, about to fall for no apparent reason. She got to hold herself before the expected arrived. Nadia nodded and took some things out from her back.

She dissappeared back there... even if she couldn't enter, she was on the entrances of both forbidden places, and that was enough.

After a long "talking" session, Nadia knew enough to make heart beat fast, freeze, tremble... if that was even possible. Remembering potion class, her eyes saddenned; she was weak to fight it. She hold on herself, thinking it might be too late, but just in case, bag at hand, she took parchment and started incribbing. She hoped there was a way to find them directly... maybe she would make some broom flight...

That is, if she is strong enough to hold for dear life, not to fall...

Kyra walked up the path to the shrieking shack. She tried the door to no avail, and satisfied herself with walking around on the rotting floorboards of the porch and looking into the dusty windows.

Ron walks up to the Shrieking Shack door,and tries the door knob.It doesn't budge,so he take out his wand and blasts it open.He walks in,and takes a look around.

kagome walked up to the skrieking shack and notices that someone blasted the door open.
"who would want to go into the skrieking shack this bad?"she asked herself

Ron sat in an arm chair,and watched Kagome enter.

Nadia had permission to go to Hogsmeade in weekdays for a speacial assigment (ooc: inventing) when she noticed the door of the shierking shack basted open. "Okay, who was the funny one?" Nadia said with a frown finding two people inside the Shack.

"One," she said, "you are not allowed to have access to Hogsmeade in weekdays so I am pretty surprised to see you both here in the first place. Two, you have just damaged property and entered a forbidden place. In short, I don't want to have to tell a professor about it, so get your persons out of here this minute, fix the door and pray nobody will notice."

About to walk out to the carriages to Hogwarts, she added, "If I don't see this place deserted and fixed in about the next coupld on minutes I am afraid I will have to tell an authority. I don't fancy myself blamed either."

"Rawr" muttered Kyra, who had dissappeared into the shadows when Nadia came up. "Do you all want a hand fixing this?" She asked the Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw inside.

Jess heard people talking and went down the path, she saw people get yelled at and noticed the door had been busted."Who would want to get in that old place so bad?" she said ,shook her head and turned around.

"Whatever you do," she said stepping away, "do it quick. The clock it ticking and I won't be found with this mess here to be blamed. I would use a spell, and if know none, yes, hand-fix it. Now. I will be back in a couple of minutes and you and whoever else want to help, fix it or you will be in serious problems, you hear?"

Nadia glared was the windrew her own wand and traced a circular line in the floor of the Shierking Shack, all around it, "This is so I have a record of each and everyone to get out or in, and in no less than 10 seconds it will be activated. Get away if you don't want to get into troubles," she says to the people watching about. "I'll come back."

Alex wandered from Hogsmeade, not planning to end up at the shack. "That place is so overrated."

Ron says to himself,"Tell a proffesser see if I care."Ron the grabs a robe out of his bag puts it on,and disappears.The door flies up behind all the people in the Shrieking Shack.

Professor Airlia was out for a 'walk' in between classes and the brewing of the potion when she spotted the door to the Shreiking Shack in shambles. She floated through the walls until her head popped into a room where several students were speaking with another student who was sitting in a chair. Determined to get a scare out of the children for their audacity to be in this restricted place, she summoned the power she had left to make herself a bit bigger and appeared suddenly before them.
"BOO!" she yelled in a horrific, thundering, voice.

Shrinking back to her normal size, her face full of fury, she floated up in front of the Gryffindor boy with her hands on her hips. "Twenty points from Gryffindor and a weekend in detention with Professor Lainey. Now, if I don't see every one of you out of here, I will hand out a few more detentions."

After the students left, Professor Airlia got one of the local wizards to lock the place back up again.

Nadia came back, a buddle of clothes in her arms, and saw the place being fixed by a working man she didn't know, the Deputy Headmistress and Slytherin ghost just behind. Noticing the line in the floor was still there, she erased it with her wand. She chuckled. She knew no spell to make her know about who entered or exited the place, she only said that to scare the first years away (and for their own good if you thought about it), but... they didn't need to know that

Feeling the buddle of clothes stirr, Nadia returned to serious business. Making her way back to the carriage, she speeded up trying to reach the place in time.

* Mike walked up to the Sheirking Shack and stoped at the door and he looked at it and smiled and said. * Here we are

"We cant get in thought so lets just sit on the grass" she smiled at him and sat down.

* Mike smiled at Kim and sat next to her. *

A loud crack echoed off the bare, cracking walls, inside an empty bedroom of the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade. A tall, pale, sinister wizard stood in the middle of said room, taking in his new surroundings. He walked over to the window, leaning his long, thin, fingers on the sill while he looked out at the town. There were several students from the school milling around outside the ramshackle house so, the wizard pulled back from the window before he could be seen. Like a shadow, he moved quickly, quietly, and without detection, through the house until he finally took up residence in a hidden basement room, knowing that he would not be disturbed as the outside doors, as well as those on the inside, were magically sealed and barricaded so none could enter or break them down.
