It's That Time Again! [open]

[Jasmine Taylor]

It had been weeks since Jazzy had any adventure. Has a matter of fact the lat time was in the dungeons with David. She had a great time running around in the dark setting up the traps. Has Jasmine walked out on the school grounds she wondered if their little traps were still standing. Hopefully they were, it would be great to see or even here about anyone coming across them.

Giggling a little she looked up at the sky which was kind of dark. The sun was still setting has she made her way across the lawns. Wear her pink shirt with the Cheshire cat [which said 'We're All Mad Here'] and a pair of jeans she made her way to the entrance of the maze. Standing in front of the maze she made sure that she had her wand. That would suck if she didn't have it, checking her right pocket she found her wand tucked away. Taking a deep breath she walked in bravely has the hedges closed behind her.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Ever since the almost fateful expirence in the Courtyard Maze in her first term Lizzy had stayed quite clear of the place, but something drew her there today. So throwing on some comfy clothes she set out of the castle and towards the maze.

Shoving her hands into the pockets of her white zip jacket Lizzy went foreward her black swishies the only noise besides the lake in the setting sun. Smiling to herself she saw the hedge close behind someone only to open a few moments later after the first occupant went on.

Deciding she wouldn't mind a walk with someone she sped up a bit and entered the maze. Once the hedge closed behind her she followed the sound of quiet footfalls to their source. Checking her pocket Lizzy made sure she had her wand. Smiling to herself she had it and went foreward. It wasn't until she was feet from the other person did she recognize the girl.

Smirking she fell into step besides Jas, "You know last time I was in here I was almost killed, and you saved me." she said looking over at the older girl. It was true. Usually in the face of danger she was unphased, but that one time she froze and if it weren't for Jas she would either have been seriously injured or worse. Either way she was grateful.

[Jasmine Taylor]

Jazzy walked on paying no attention to her surrounds. Well, she was paying attention to the hedges but she wasn't really listening for footsteps and all that. Sighing she looked up at the sky. Smiling she looked down has she began to blush a little. You know what that means, right? She had just a tiny, or thats has much has she'll admit, crush on someone. Looking back up she continued only she wasn't alone this time.

Jumping a little she was quite aware that someone was walking with her. Giggling a little at her statement she relax has it was just Jade. "And you know I told you that it wasn't a big deal." she said smiling back. For some reason she never really liked to admit that she was capable of saving ones life. But it was nothing honestly! She did some second year spell plus she is a year older. Guess it was something that she expected herself to do without questioning.

"So what brings you here again?" she asked has she stopped at the first break off in the paths. She hoped that her face wasn't still red but most likely it was. Maybe she just won't say anything. Only problem was that she couldn't stop smiling has if he was around them at the moment.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy laughed, "Yes, but you're still on my list of people I owe my life too." she said shrugging. It was true. There were only two people in the world on that list, but either way it was her list and she wouldn't forget it. The list of people she'd take a bullet for was much longer, but she more liked her list of people she owed her life to. They reminded her that even when you're unhappy someone will always pull you out of it.

She stopped when Jas stopped at the first divide in the hedge. She glanced over and saw that Jas looked different. Not in a bad way, but in a good one. She looked happier. She was about to ask what was up with that, but Jas spoke first, "Well I really don't know, I just needed a walk and this place came to mind." she said shrugging, "What about yourself?" she asked throwing the question back and indicating that maybe they should go to the left.

[Jasmine Taylor]

To the left then! Jas nodded has she began to walk down the path. "Well, I was just going for a walk to get somethings off my mind. And then I thought that it was time for a little adventure so I came here." she replied. Looking away she tried to shield the grin on her face. Pulling the hair out of her face she tried her best to hide it but she was never that good. "So how have been? Anything new going on?" she questioned.


[sorry about the shortness]

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

[[no problem]]

Lizzy smiled seeing Jas trying to hid a smile from her face. "Oh really. And what would those things be?" she asked a slight tease in her voice. Jas did seem to be in a better mood than usual. Maybe something really good happened. Whatever it was Lizzy wanted to know.

"I've been good. Nothing to exciting really. I went to Canada not long after term started, and I haven't seen Brad in forever, but other than that no. What about you?" she asked looking over at Jas as they wound their way through the maze.

[Jasmine Taylor]

Jas giggled has Jade teased her. Stopping for a moment she just laughed. There wasn't anything to really laugh about either, she was just tickled about the whole thing. Then, being the girl that was extremely lame at hiding things, she put on her serious face. "Oh, nothing really. Just...things...." she pressed her lips together has she was trying not to smile. She continued walking, looking down at the ground of course. "Yeah, just..things....maybe a little..crush...." she spoke very quietly and more to herself but she didn't kind of want to talk about this since she hadn't really told anyone.

Nodding at hearing that not much had happen she was glad that nothing bad occurred. "Oh, I'm sorry." she said, talking about her not really seeing Brad in a long time. And she truly was sorry, only she couldn't really remember who he was. "Is he a really good friend of yours?" Yes, of course she was going to admit that she had no clue what she was talking about. She refused to be clueless in conversations.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy laughed with Jas. SHe was in a good mood so why not laugh? It was easy to do and anyways it was good for you. Crush. Crush? Wow she wasn't expecting that, but she smiled none the less, "Ooh. Anyone I know?" she asked Jas smiling. She was glad that Jas was happy. She had rarely seen her this happy and giggly so it was good to her.

Lizzy shrugged, "It's okay he tends to dissappear a lot, but he always shows up sometime." she said shrugging. Brad... a good friend... hm... kinda... sorta... he was her boyfriend. "Ya kinda. He's my boyfriend. Since my second term I think." she said grinning to herself. "He's just sorta been there since I arrived here, and helped me out of a bad past of mine." she said not even tearing up at the mention of her past. This was good. And she owed it all to Brad.

[Jasmine Taylor]

Biting down on her lip Jas tried not to smile. Guess Lizzy heard her after all, which was intentional. She was kind of dieing to talk about it but, the whole try to keep a straight normal face was hard for her. She couldn't help it if she was stuck at the blushing, giggly part of crushing. "Uh, I don't think so." she answered trying to hold back a laugh. Has she continued to walk she thought more about her answer. Well maybe she did, he was in her house, but he was in a different year.

Jas looked at Lizzy kind of surprised. Her boyfriend? She had not clue that she had one, lucky duck. Looking back to the path she came to a stop has it was another break. "Oh, well I hope he returns soon." she said smiling. She didn't really know what else to say, she was never good at saying the right thing at the right time. "Um, how about the right?" she suggested.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy laughed, "You never know. Who is it?" she asked looking over at Jas as they stopped at another break in the path. It had been about twenty minutes and they weren't attacked yet so she took that as a good sign compared to the last.

Out of the corner of her eye Lizzy saw Jas look at her surprised, but she didn't take much shock to it because it wasn't a well known fact that they were going out. Grinning she said, "Oh he does sooner or later." She shrugged, he always did. Even if it ment severely beat up.

Looking down both paths the right looked the best. Just as she was about to suggest the right Jas did, "Ya safest bet." she said starting slowly down that one.

[Jasmine Taylor]

"Well...", Jas spoke then looked around. You know the hedges do have ears. Then she began to speak quietly, she knew it was probably pointless but it was better to be safe then sorry. "Well, he is in Slytherin...." she said this giving another look around. "His name is... David ." Mouthing his name she hoped that Lizzy understood what she said.

"Just taking precautions." she smiled speaking louder. "And if walls have ears then so do the hedges." You know this would be unnecessary if there wasn't a gossip columnists around. Even though this wasn't really news that others would want to read but you never know.

And now her mind was back to the maze. It was very interesting that nothing had happened. She just hoped that it would turn out to be a bad thing though. That would suck if it meant that the obstacle where much harder later on. Turning to the right she continued to walk with Jade in silence. Looking up she examine the hedges which seemed to be quite calm at the moment.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy smiled mouthing back to Jas, "David Who?" She knew a few David's in her house, but she wanted to be sure. She glanced around making sure no one was around.

Shrugging Lizzy nodded, "Ya, but that bit of info would be a scandal." she said taking on a mock horror voice, "A Slytherin going out with a Gryffindor." she added her baby blue eyes wide and sparkling with malice. Not able to hold the laughter building up in her she burst out laughing at her little show there.

After a few minutes she regained control and it struck her as odd at how unnaturally still everything was. Whenever she was in the maze there was always a little rustle of something, but this time, like when she panicked it was silent and motionless. She threw a furative glance over at Jas. Sure it would be fun to have some trouble stirred up, but the last venture in here with Jas left her up in the Hospital Wing for a day.

Sighing she kept on her eyes watching for anything moving and ears listening for the slightest rustle of leaves.

[Jasmine Taylor]

"Uh, actually...I don't know it." she looked over at her in shock. Wow, she really didn't have a clue. She laughed a little before Jade spoke again. "I know but with my luck someone would just make something up and print it any way. But its not really the house difference that matters, its more of an age thing." she confessed. Age really didn't matter to her but to others it was kind of odd. But it really wasn't that big of a difference to Jasmine.

"Well, this is kind of odd." she said this has looking around. "You'd think by now something would have happened...." she pondered this aloud has she walked. A wind blew across the grounds that came from in front of them. Shielding her eyes she looked down at the ground before it died out. "Hmm..."

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy smiled, "The age can't be that bad. I mean I can't picture you as a cradle robber." she said grinning over at Jas again. She loved joking around making the situation lighter than what it was. Especially when she was trying to cover the fact that she was a bit panicked.

With her fears being spoken aloud by Jas all Lizzy could do was nod. She had bad things happen to her twice in the maze the one not doing so much as spooking her and the other with Jas. This just made her even more spooked. Taking a deep breath she bit down on her lip hard. She didn't know what she was going to do if something happened, but whatever did she hoped that she wouldn't freeze like some little child again.

[Jasmine Taylor]

Jasmine laughed, "Yeah, I'm no cradle robber." Looking back to the path she noticed that it turned to the right. This made her wonder whether they were still on the outskirts of the maze or just some where in the middle. Walking down the path they came upon another path break, one to the left and the other on the right.

Looking at both of them she couldn't really decided. By now the breeze was picking up a little. She knew what that meant, one of the path would soon not be there. She was trying to see if either paths looked smaller than the other but no luck so far. "Hmm...Well, I guess we could go to the left?" she questioned this aloud still not know where to go.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy smiled, "That's good." she said scrunching her nose. Glancing around again she saw they were at another break. She was starting to wonder where exactly they were in the maze. Shrugging to herself she kept talking to Jas as she looked at both paths to decide which to take.

Nodding Lizzy silently agreed with Jas as to what path they should take. No sooner had they both stepped onto the path did the hedge behind them close. Swallowing she took a deep breath and went on.

[Jasmine Taylor]

Turning around she shuddered a little at the hedges that had closed. Taking a deep breath she kept walking, glad that they had moved just in time. Keeping silent Jas looked around at the hedges. Wonder if the hedges are always this tall? Or are they taller for taller peoples? Looking ahead she has they came to another break in the path.

"Oh, a three parter!" she said in a sarcastic, yet excited tone. She looked at the three paths. To the right, then middle, then left. Turning back her right she looked to Jade. "I guess we could just go straight." she said this before turning her attention to the hedges. Did they just get closer to her?
