A Portkey Amongst the Trophies? -continued- [Tag: Aimee, Scarlet, Aurora, Jason, Akasha, Todd and Moses]

{ Can everyone please edit their posts and remove any mention of a forcefield? This sort of magic is too advanced and usually has to be performed by a few witches together, thank you. <3 [E.g: The professor's protecting Hogwarts.] I would appreciate people okay-ing such big spells with me first, thank you everyone! xD }

Aimee stood beside Moses, still using her wand to light the forest. So this was the Forbidden Forest... she hadn't been entirely sure before. She shivered but soon felt a little reassured when Moses smiled at her and touched her head. Sighing she wished she could go back to her usual self, but for the moment, she was stuck as a child, she would simply have to deal with it. She was appreciative no-one had mentioned it though.
"I hope the Minister's daughter arrives soon..." She whispered in the cold.

Aurora felt bad as her body was compressed. She reopened her eyes to find them into the Forbidden Forest. She groaned in frustration.
''Oh this is just great!'' She grabbed her wand. ''Lumos.'' She spoke the spell as the tip of her wand lighted up.
''So..'' She walked over to the others. ''What's the plan?''

Aimee looked towards the spot where Aurora appeared, she was a tall girl and rather intimidating, holding a great sense of authority about her person. She took one look and shivered slightly before answering her. "We don't really know..." Aimee paused, not really knowing what else to say, no-one had come up with a decent solution as of yet.

Aurora grinned. ''Eh..Don't really know?'' She said pronouncing every word slowly. As she walked towards Aimee.
''Because of you we ended up here, And you don't know what to do?'' She asked looking at the girl. Groaning in frustration again.
Rubbing her eyes. ''Nice, This is so nice.'' She said sarcastically with a slight tone of anger.

Todd raised an eyebrow at the tall, light-haired girl. "It's not like she meant to get sucked into that thing. None of us knew what it was and it could've happened to anyone." He turned to stare off into the trees, listening intently for any signs of danger and hoping he hadn't risen his voice enough for something bloodthirsty to hear them. They all seemed to be on edge at the moment, and for good reason.

"Calm down, Aurora." Jason said, turning his head to face her. His eyes scanned around them. Looking for anything that could be perceived as a threat.

Jason rolled his shoulder turning completely around, eyes still darting around the area, "We have two people that know where we are. Best case scenario, we stay here and hope someone finds us. Worst case, we have to keep the younger, less experienced wizards here while us older ones find someway to protect them." His eyes grazed over Aimee and Scarlet, both of them looked just about ready to cry or something similar.

"Maybe not." He muttered out, "I know for a fact Akasha and I can try to find someone or something." He had picked up on her fearlessness of the area. He could sense the fear but it was aimed towards the humans, not herself. He had some confidence the woman knew what was going on.

Aurora looked at the red haired boy as he talked back. She than raised her eyebrow as Jason told her to calm down. She sighed softly.
Listening to his conclusions. ''Well if you two can it would be more than helpful. I'll stay here, Protect them?'' Aurora ask as she looked around. This was not the place she'd like to go..Whatever could be hiding here..

Aimee looked at Aurora with uncertainty, not exactly knowing what to do or say... Was it really her fault? She felt instantly guilty and a little torn. "I-I didn't mean..." Aimee began to speak uncertainly. "I didn't know it was a portkey..." She frowned, looking a little down. When Todd stuck up for her though, she smiled at him thankfully, but she couldn't help but still feel a little guilty. She wished Anna or Alice were here.

Scarlet looked at everyone when they were arguing..She looked down and just walked away from the crowd, wanting to see if there was a path they could take. Though she wanted to get away from the yelling and arguing. Not wanting her to break down from the fear. She kept looking, hoping there was a easy way out of the forest.

"Scarlet?" Aimee called out to her, noticing the blonde moving away from the crowd and the argumentative atmosphere. "You shouldn't go off alone," She shook her head worried, it wouldn't be safe at all. "Want me to go with you?" She asked helpfully with a smile. Knowing it probably wasn't much safer with her aid, but it was better two young females than one alone.

Scarlet turned around, "I-I'm n-not going a-anywhere..J-just looking for a p-path..B-but if you w-want..y-yes..you can c-come." She said as she was stuttering like a mad fool, making her bite her lip as she kept looking.

Jason moved forward, growling. Did these people even LISTEN to adults anymore?

"Where are you two going?" Jason growled out, he was getting a little pissed off again. Nothing bothered him more than when people weren't logically listening to him. These kids were going to get themselves killed!

Aurora raised her eyebrow as the girls decided to run on their own. As Jason was going to get angry she walked over him. Laying her hand on his shoulder. ''Now you are the one to calm down Jason..'' She said calmly. Pointing her lightening wand at the two girls.
''If I were you listen to Jason. It is dangerous to go on your own, You two must stay here..'' She said seriously, As she let go off Jason.

Scarlet jumped when the man suddenly yelled at her Aimee, making her not like him a little..She looked away as she kept looking down, feeling herself wanting to just scream for help. She then looked at Aurora..she was just trying to find a path for all of them. Scarlet wasn't going to go by herself. She wasn't going to try to stick up for herself..She just nodded.

Aimee wasn't one to cause a scene, and generally did the same as Scarlet, but seeing Jason and Aurora intimidating Scarlet so, it made her mad. She metamorphasised back into her normal self, her hair beginning to have a slightly reddy tinge to it. "Since when did Gryffindor's and Hufflepuffs take orders from Slytherin's the same age?" She raised her eyebrows a little annoyed. She had gone into defensive mode, she wouldn't let anyone upset someone innocent like that.

Akasha frowned and said loud enough for the others to hear, "No one will be looking for a path but me. I've been in this forest many times, and its inhabitants do not frighten me and they aren't a challenge. I'm not even scared of the forest itself. What the rest of you need to do while I'm gone, is to stay with Todd, who I'm so can protect you." She walked towards the dark forest, but turned back around, giving them all a stern look. "Do NOT under any circumstances split up, or let your gaurd down. Those are two simple ways to get killed. Understood?"

She didnt wait for an answer before she disappeared into the darkness.

Moses watched the tension grow as Jason growled at Aimee and Scarlet. A loud sigh left his mouth as arguments became made. He really hated tension. Life should be filled with smiles and laughs. This was the exact opposite. Walking over to Aimee's, he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Aimee, calm down. I don't like being ordered by Slytherins either but he has a point." he told her, trying to stay calm. Someone needed to be in this pool of tension. As Akasha spoke, he looked over to the woman and nodded. "Alright." he said to her as he watched her fade into the forest.

Looking back at the others, he offered a weak smile. "Now, let's try to stay calm and not be at each other's throats, si?" he suggested, titling his head to the side. "It will not help us get out, nor keep us alive if we keep arguing." It was solid logic, but he could only hope the others were willing to listen to a hufflepuff.

Aimee reluctantly nodded at Moses, but he helped her become calm and her hair faded back to it's usual light blonde. "Yes sir," She saluted him with a smile, she too didn't like the tension or arguments, but had just felt the need to stick up for Scarlet. Instead, she now relaxed and realised it was the logical thing to do.

Jason shrugged off Aurora's arm. Growls erupting from his throat, "Houses have nothing to do with life or death situations, that's Hogwarts's bullshit on trying to put people with similar qualities in a house. they have no real meaning in life. Take your pompous HufflePuff head out of your ass and think! I may be a Slytherin but I'm trying to make sure you make it out of here alive because clearly you have no idea what the hell you're doing." Jason's rage was pulsing out of his words. He jerked his body back, cursing under his breath. His hands were shaking as he desperately tried to calm down. He couldn't do this here. Not now! People would get hurt.

His eyes jerked to Moses, under different circumstances he might have not given the man the time of day but the kids had some wise words. He felt the need to punch him as well as praise him.

Scarlet's eyes widened as she was watching everyone arguing. She looked down and felt herself shaking, and kept trying not to cry. She backed up when Jason had took a step forward. Scarlet just kept to herself as she just wanted to go back to Hogwarts and just be alone now..Not liking that she was just yelled at for trying to help, and not liking how everyone was fighting.

Aimee stumbled backwards when Jason growled, it was unlike a human growl and it startled her, instantly recognising the sound as that of a tiger. "W-what?" Aimee's eyes widened in shock, amazement and fear at the sound that had just reverburated from Jason's mouth. When he insulted her, she became a little hurt and she instantly felt small once more, fighting the temptation to retreat back into her little form.

Dark eyes widened as the male Slytherin practically snarled out heated words towards Aimee. In an instinctive manner, he placed his arm around the blonde Hufflepuff, and hug her close in case anything were to happen. "Mio Dio! (my god)!" he muttered to himself. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted Scarlet shaking like a leave. He was tempted to sigh again. Does everyone not know how to calm down? he thought to himself. Looking back at the Slytherin, he listed his hand up in a peaceful gesture.

"I don't know if you're trying to use a scare tactic to get them to listen, or if you just have anger issues. But whichever, you need to do some serious breathing and keep it in check. The girls are getting either frightened or pissed, neither of which is going to be helpful." he said, a frown forming on his lips. He himself was starting to get a bit irritated. Which would not do. Gah, some jokes to be told. Seriously. he thought as he sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Anyone got any good jokes?" he asked suddenly, needing some laughs right then and there.

Aimee felt comforted as Moses defended them and placed his arm protectively around her shoulders, she blushed and found it difficult to form any words with her mouth. Instead, she focussed on thinking of a joke, which she was finding incredibly hard given the current situation. It managed to distract her brain nonetheless, but she still couldn't help but keep glancing over at Scarlet to check she was alright.

"This isn't a time to be joking around, HufflePuff. People's lives are at stake." Jason threw his arm down. The action received a loud 'pop' from his joint in protest of the action. He rolled his shoulder again, growling. He was trembling, he didn't care if the others saw that as weakness. He just needed to contain it. Contain it long enough to get away from them. He ordered his feet to move but they wouldn't budge. His body wanted it, craved it. to crave the power that would explode through him if he gave into the lesser personality. He couldn't.

He wouldn't.
