Let's do this! *Samuel C*

[Ashley Tapping]

Ash looked out her window toward the lake she wished it wasn't to cold to go swimming but sadly it was. She grabbed her jacket and walked out of her common room portrait. She walked slowly down the stairs and out of the doors. She was bored. Classes hadn't started yet and this would be her first term taking them.

She walked along the grass and took in deep breaths. She loved spending time outdoors almost even more than indoors. The wind was strong and blew her hair everywhere. Ashley grabbed a hair tie and threw it up in a pony tail. Leaving her bangs out and blowing in the wind. A thought hit her head. She should go in the forbidden Forest! She hadn't been there in a long time. the last time she was in there though she got caught.

A smile grew on her face, she would finally have something to do! She ran to the edge of it and looked into the darkness that awaited her. Shed sighed and went in. Trying to look around she couldn't see anything. She grabbed out her wand and quietly whispered "Lumos." The tip of her wand lit up with light and she could see a little bit better. Ashley looked around at all of the trees and listening really hard trying to hear of anyone or thing was coming.

[Samuel Craft]

Samuel was elated being a second year at Hogwarts. No longer would he ever be associated as the main ickle of the school. Yes, he was still concidered an ickle to the other four years above him. Now, however, he was able to call first years ickles and not get contradicted by anyone else that he too was an ickle. Life was sweet for the second year at this moment. His classes were later in the afternoon too, which meant he had a few hours to do whatever he wanted.

The Forbidden Forest seemed like an adventerous place, even though the boy wasn't one for adventures to begin with. Nevertheless, the thought of venturing into unknown territory and the possibility to run into unknown species excited the Ravenclaw even more. "Lumos!" he muttered as the tip of his wand lighted, his right hand pointing in all sorts of directions until it fell upon a blonde haired girl. "Hello there, it seems I'm now the only one in here."

Ashley turned around at the sound of a boys voice, "Gosh you scared me!" Ashley said in a startled voice. She then remembered her manors. "Sorry I'm Ashley Tapping Second year Gryffindor. Who are you?" she asked looking at the boy. he had short black hair and hazel no blue eyes for what she could tell. "What brings you down here this fine afternoon?" she asked in a smile starting to be friendly to him. She hadn't seen him around th school before but then again he didn't look that new.
