getting lost[open]

[soccerboy]

as austin walked down a corridor he relized he was lost again! he was humming to himself and lost track of where he was going and he could not remember how to get back. it was early in the morning and he was trying to find his way into the great hall to have some breakfast but because he was lost he just started backtracking, he kept on walking hopeing to reconized where he was.so as he was walking he turned a corner and thought he heard someone he turned around and said kinda loud "who's there?" his voice was shaking because he was a little bit scared it would be peeves but it was not he now could see it was a student but the student was standing in shadows so he could not see who it was. he said again,"who's there?"

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy had been up early to watch the sun rise, and it was absolutely beautiful. Though afterwards she had just gone wandering. She had found a corridor she didn't visit much with a window sill in total darkness. She knew where she was. It was the same corridor she had recieved her letter that told her she wasn't allowed to live at the Thompson's anymore. She shook her head at the thought, and sat in the window sill watching the grounds grow lighter.

It was after most of the grounds were well lit that she heard someone coming. She didn't move because maybe she wouldn't be seen, but she was wrong there. She turned to see a first year. She smirked at the obvious fright and shake in his voice, but she didn't feel like being mean to first years today. "Just me," she said softly. "Are you lost?" she asked knowing that most first years got frightened when lost in the vast castle. Her voice was soft and sweet and not threatening.

After he asked in a shakily voice,"Who's there?" he heard a soft voice say,"Just me, are you lost?" austin replied,"Yes i am lost, i kinda lost track of where i was going and ended up here, who are you? do you know the way back to the great hall?" austin asked this hoping the girl would step out of the light so he could see if he reconised her.
[sorry short]

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy almost laughed, but she didn't. She remembered being a first year and how hard it was navigating the castle. Though she had the place down in a day or two. Ever since she had just been finding more and more secret passages.

Hopping off the window sill Lizzy nodded her brunette waves bouncing on her shoulders, "Ya I do. Here I'll show you." she said starting off in the direction the boy had come from. Turning back she made sure he was following. "I'm Lizzy by the way. Well, actually Jade Silvernacle." she said shrugging. She didn't mind being called either. Jade or Lizzy. Though most people preferred to call her Jade.

[no problem]

There out of the darkness stepped a girl, a few years older then himself, she had long brown hair, she said,"Ya I do. Here I'll show you."the girl said it as she looked off into the corridor that he had come from. Austin replied thanks a lot,Im starving!" he said with a smile on his face.The girl started to walk, austin followed, the girl then looked back to make sure that he was following. She then said,"I'm Lizzy by the way. Well, actually Jade Silvernacle." as she said this she shrugged. Austin thought to himself,"Jade and Lizzy both cool names."So which do you preffer to be called?" he asked."Im austin davis nice to meet you, and thanks again for helping me get back, this place is huge!" He said with a smile as he continued to follow her.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy laughed, "Well if you had kept going that way." she pointed over her shoulder, "You would have made it to the Great Hall in a week or two." she joked laughing. Really there was a secret passage that would put you on track, but she didn't feel like practically sliding down the steep ramp today.

"Either works. I mean it just depends on what people decide. About half my friends call me Lizzy and the other half Jade." she said shrugging. "Nice to meet you too Austin. Ya it's no problem." she said shrugging. It was no big deal. She figured it was probably smart to get out of the corridor anyways.

"It's huge, but you'll pretty much get it down soon. It took me two days to get the main corridors and hallways down, and from there I've found pretty much all the secret passages." she said as she turned and dissappeared into what looked like solid wall, but really was just another passage way. She had stumbled across that one in her third term when she discovered the other end down on the second floor.

Jade laughed and said,"Well if you had kept going that way. You would have made it to the Great Hall in a week or two."she said jokingly."Either works. I mean it just depends on what people decide. About half my friends call me Lizzy and the other half Jade." she said shrugging. "Nice to meet you too Austin. Ya it's no problem." Austin replied,"Ok sometimes ill call you Jade other times Lizzy, is that ok?"Jade then said,"It's huge, but you'll pretty much get it down soon. It took me two days to get the main corridors and hallways down, and from there I've found pretty much all the secret passages." Austin replied,"Thats good hopefully ill have it dow in like two days." Right at that moment Lizzy diapeared into a wall, Austin was startled at what he just saw, but then he thought that it was hogwarts and anything is possible. So he kinda shakily walked through the wall as he enterd he closed his eyes tight, but it was fine it did not hurt at all he said,"Wow that was amazing how did you find that passageway?"

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Laughing Lizzy nodded, "Whatever floats your boat." she said still laughing. It was one of her favorite sayings. Whatever floats your boat. Just something totally random... like her.

Lizzy turned around smiling, "Ya you probably will." she said laughing as she watched him walk through the passageway. Turning around and heading off down the stairs the led from where they were on the sixth floor down to the second floor. "I was on the second floor trying to get to a class, and I was pushed through a tapestry and found myself in here. Figuring It'd be better to get to class I left it until class was over and then found out where it led. It helps. I can usually get from the Slytherin Tower and down to the great hall or grounds in five minutes. There are two other exits to the passage way on the fourth and fifth floors, but I don't hardly ever use them. It took me a while to get used to exactly where the openings were because all but the second floor opening are disguised as solid walls." she explained as they went down past the two other doors. They were apparent on this side as you could see through them to the hallway beyond so you didn't hit someone on your way out, but in the hall they look like solid wall.

Jade told him how she found that secret passage way and Austin said,"Cool so how much longer till we get to the great hall?" after all this time he had forgotten that he was hungry and now that he remembered he was starving."Hey would you like to have lunch with me have you eaten yet?" he asked. As he waited for her reply, he looked around it was dark and there were steps leading down Austin walked down the steps and asked,"So is this the right way to go?"
[sorry again short!]

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy watched for the little turn onto the second floor. The passage way continued to what she assumed was either the first floor or the dungeon, but she never found out because a little past the second floor exit the passageway was caved in.

"Well as soon as we get out of here about a minute." she said seeing the light of the second floor corridor about fifty foot below them. Lunch... she hadn't eaten much so she could do that. "Sure that'd be great." he said smiling back at Austin before turning out into the second floor corridor. "Definately. I'm a fourth year and have been using that passageway for months. I know where I'm going." she said shrugging.

"Well as soon as we get out of here about a minute." Jade told him. She then said yes to lunch and,"Definately. I'm a fourth year and have been using that passageway for months. I know where I'm going." Austin replied,"Ok then." As he continued to follow her."So what floor are we on anyways? I lost track.." he said smiling.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Lizzy glanced around, "Second floor." she said heading from the tapestry as she talked. The tapestry was on the far side of the corridor in comparison to the Grand Staircase. "We should be there within a few minutes." she added as she kept walking.

[soccerboy]

Lizzy looked around,"Second floor." she said as she headed for a tapestry,"We should be there within a few minutes." she also said as she kept walking. Austin replied,"Ok thanks." as he continued to follow her.

[Jade "Lizzy" Silvernacle]

Soon Lizzy was standing at the top of the Grand Stair case. "Here we are." she said smiling before starting down them and into the Great Hall.

[[you making the thread or am i?]]

[soccerboy]

"Ok,"Austin said looking into the large room,"lets go!"
