[Title Goes Hurr]

[hikari]

Stand in the Rain.
Stand Your Ground.
Stand Up When it's all Crashing Down.

Hikari sat, perched high up in a tree,looking at the nighttime sky. She had to have been pretty high if she was looking at the sky,considering the trees caved in over the forest. Climbing up was the hard part, but getting down....that may have been a little complicated. Hikari sighed under her breath and let one of her legs dangle from off of a protruding branch on the tall tree. The forest was dead silent that night. Hikari assumed that because it was a school night, most students might be inside studying or sleeping. School Night. She was begining to sound like her mother.

Hikari peered down at the ground. It was such a long way, but all this sitting wasn't doing her any good. Hikari managed to untangle herself from the branches and shimmy down the tree without breaking any bones,however, there was a small problem when her arms gave out and she collapsed onto the ground with a loud thud. Hikari scrambled up off of the ground and dusted the fallen leaves off of her pants. She glared up at the sky. Most of the leaves had fallen from the trees, but they still didn't let much light in. Hikari could just barely see the moon, and a blotch of stars near it.

She glanced around the noiseless forest. Nothing. How odd. The Slytherin girl scratched her head. Usually there was always some student in the woods, or some animal on the hunt. The thought made Hikari peer over her shoulder to make sure that she hadn't been followed or something. It would be just her luck to think that she was all alone, and have some wild creature attack her from behind, or even be caught by a teacher. She stepped over a fallen tree log and pressed onward.

After walking for about ten minutes, there was a long howl from just a distance away. Hikari paused and looked up. Full moon. How could she have missed that? Why did she choose to come out during a full moon? Hikari shrugged off the annoyed feeling and figured that she was safe as long as she had her wand. Hikari felt her back pocket.

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Her wand was gone. Hikari frowned and turned in a complete circle. She knew that she had brought it with her before she left. The girl groaned. "I must have dropped it by the tree! She said, completely forgetting about the eerie feeling. Hikari rushed back to the tree. After identifying it for the third time, Hikari finally found the right tree. Almost without thinking, she was on her hands and knees searching for her wand. No luck. It was gone. Hikari ran her fingers through her hair and muttered, "Oh, I hope nobody found it." There wasn't a lost and found box where lost wands,like Hikari's, could go and even if there was, who would return a wand of such beauty?

Stand Through The Pain.
You Won't Drown.
And One Day What's Lost Will Be Found.

Malachi sighed as he sat in his room, writing in his journal for the second time. He remembered when he got this journal, his eyes closing and a smile on his face as his vision went white, remembering the day. In his little flashback, everything was shiny and he could see his mother taking him around Diagon Alley for his supplies. He'd gotten all his books and things, but needed parchment, ink, and quills, and lots of them. So, they went to Scrivenshafts, and Malachi went to the back to get stuff, his mother taking another route, finding him a journal that had disappearing ink effects. When you wrote, you could see, but when you closed it, the text disappear. At least, until the owner's eyes lay on the paper. Only the owner may see the words in it.

His eyes opened again, his vision normal as he looked at the paper, the writing still appearing. Testing it, he closed the book,then opened it above his head, seeing that there was no more writing. He chuckled and put it level with his eye, watching it reappear. He felt like he had Tom Riddle's journal, but he knew he didn't, since that was destroyed in the famous Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts. A smile came to his face as he remembered all the storys his mom used to tell him about the famous wizard, that defeated you-know-who.

Sighing, Malachi put down his book and grabbed his coat, running outside. It was a nice night, and he needed to get some fresh air. Walking into the forest, he took in the light breeze. He loved nights like tonight; so clear and peaceful. Malachi made his way inside and walked to the tree he once met his best friend, Max at. Dont get confused, Max was a girl. He got there and smirked, then hearing a thud. He walked on, searching for whatever made a sound.

Going to where he thought he heard it, he seen nothing...but a wand on the ground. He picked it up and walked behind the tree, leaning his back against it as he examined its craftmanship. It was nice. But that's when he heard a girls voice. He came out from behind the tree. "Oh, is this yours?", he asked, holding the wand out for her to take from him. Thats when he heard a howl. He looked around, hoping that wasn't...no..he shouldn't even think it.

Hikari let out a quick sigh and continued searching. She knew that if she gave up, then she'd never find it. For all she knew, she could have been sitting on it the whole time. But that was ridiculous,right? Hikari leaned over and checked. There was no wand. She frowned,wanting to kick the tree before her. Too bad she was sitting down. Hikari brushed her long black bangs out of her eyes and nudged a few rocks aside, making sure that she hadn't missed something. It was dark, but there wasn't much on the ground other than rocks and leaves.

"Oh,is this yours?" a voice said from behind Hikari.

Hikari sprang up like a ninja and whipped around to face a boy.Eyes wide, she looked from him to the wand. Hikari nodded and quickly took if from him. She bowed multiple times and murmured,' Thank-you.' Usually, she didn't bow, but in the current situation, it was necessary.At least he hadn't tried to steal the wand. Or was he going to? Hikari shoved the wand deep down into her back pocket and eyed the boy suspiciously. Maybe-while she was looking for her wand- he was creeping off but thought that she had heard him make a sound and decided to make it seem as though he was this big hero. Hikari scratched her head. Way too much thinking for Detective Amiyuki. Hikari shook her head,lost in her own world.

"Thank-you,again!" She said, a little more happily than she had intended to be. Hikari blinked and realized that she had never met or seen the boy before. As much as she was gone, he could have been a fifth year, and she wouldn't have known it. Curiously, she asked, "Are you new at Hogwarts?" Patting her back pocket to make sure her wand was there, the girl leaned up against the tall tree,causing the last few reddish pink leaves to fall onto her head. Hikari shook them off and waited for the boy's reply.


There was another long howl and Hikari bit her bottom lip nervously. Nervously! Hikari was a Slytherin! Slytherins don't get nervous. They're tough,bold,sly,cunning-everything Hikari was. Well,everything she could be. Hikari often found herself thinking that she was just a little too hyper and obnoxious-sometimes even too friendly- to be in Slytherin, but sometimes she could agree with the pointed sorting hat. At times, Hikari could be a big grouch. Hikari grinned at the thought.

Malachi smiled as the girl bowed, scratching the back of his head with one hand as she thanked him, then again once more over. He had a big grin on his face, looking like an anime character, closing his eyes as he smiled, scratching the back of his neck. All he needed now to be that anime character was an oversized sweat tear going down the side of his face. He looked at her as she started to talk to him.

"Yeah, I came here this year.", he smiled, figuring she was a year or two higher than he. Not only because of her looks, but because she asked if he was new. He heard the howl and smirked, hoping it was far away. He grabbed a branch, putting both feet on the main trunk of the tree, using it to walk up a little and kicked off the tree, flipping up gracefully, his hands steady as he looked like he was doing a handstand on the branch. He twisted his hands to sit properly, putting his feet on the ground, hanging down. It was no suprise to him that he could do that, having been in gymnastics when he was little.

When she looked up from her traditional bows, she could see the boy with a silly grin on his face. Hikari smirked. That was definately the reason why she didn't bring her culture into this school. She would get weird looks and probably made fun of. Hikari thought of a reason to play it off, but figured that it was done and over with. She glanced down at the ground and kicked a rock, a small distance away from her. The rock rolled a few inches away and Hikari leapt after it like a small child. That's exactly what she was at heart: a small child.

Her gaze shifted back to the boy as he answered her question. Hikari grinned sheepishly and she couldn't resist saying, " Oooh! A newbie! How do you like Hogwarts so far?" It felt so great knowing that Hikari wasn't one of the new,lonely people anymore. Now that she was a second year, she had gotten to meet many people. Hikari blinked and looked back at the Newbie Boy.

The girl peered up through the long branches,at the moon again.Well,what she could see of it. Big and full. Hikari glanced away quickly. Only she would pick a night like tonight to come out on,and with her luck and her karma, there was already probably a werewolf making its way right toward her. Hikari shivered and peered over her shoulder casually as if she was checking to see if there were any leaves on her. She was a Slytherin. And Slytherin's show no fear. Hikari glanced back again.Nothing. She was just paranoid. The Slytherin girl shook her head,letting her long black hair fall into her face.

Watching the boy do his little stunt on the tree, Hikari took a small step back. It would be just her luck to get kicked in the face or something for being an idiot and standing too close. She blinked and murmured,"What's yer name Newbie Kid?"

[[gayy post.]]

[malachi]

Malachi smiled at her questions, by that time up on the branch, which was far out so he was looking down at her, without any leaves getting in his way. "I really like Hogwarts. I've made lots of friends.", he smiled and swung his feet lightly through the calm air. He smirked as he saw a rock go towards the tree, the asian girl going after it. She was spunky, to say the least.

"My name is Malachi Hawkins.", he said and smiled. "Weird name, I know. I've been told."

[yeah right. your posts are awesome]

[hikari]

Hikari glanced up and noticed the boy smiling,along with his unique hair. She couldn't help but grin. It made her think of not only her now red sister, but also of her silly friends at home. Her friends had the most unique and wildest hair colors. Blue,red,purple,you name it-they have it or have had it. Hikari scratched her head and kicked at another rock. " I like yer hair..." she murmured,grinning sheepishly. Hm. Maybe she should dye her hair a color. Hikari was a natural dark-haired girl, and maybe it was time for a change. Mwahah. What color? Red. Blue. White? Hikari looked up at the sky and thought.

The boys voice ripped her from her thoughts and she looked up at him. Hikari grinned. Almost without thinking, she said, "Of course ya have! Hogwarts is being overrun with firsties." Hikari could remember when she first arrived at Hogwarts. It seemed as though there was an infinite number of first years.So,so many. It actually excited Hikari. It was definately a new chance to meet new people. Hikari turned to look up,up at the boy again. He was pretty high. Hopefully, the branch wouldn't break. Hehe.But,oh,how funny that would be! Hikari shook the cruel thought of her head and sighed.

"Malachi. It's not weird! It's different. Hiki likes different names. " Only a loser like Hikari would refer to herself in thrid person. Seeing as Hikari wasn't the most common name in England or Hogwarts [wherever they were] Hikari actually liked it when she met people with different names. It didn't make her feel as lonely in the name department. Realizing that she hadn't introduced herself Hikari jumped and said, " I'm Detective Hikari Amiyuki. Hiki. Hikster. Whichever is fine. " Getting sick of standing, Hikari plopped down onto the fallen log that she had passed twice.

[[Thanks.]]

[malachi]

Malachi smirked down at her. "Really? Everytime I see someone, they're a higher year than me.", he chuckled and pushed his feet up in the air, bending his knee's so his feet was against the branch. He let his hands slip and he did one flip on the ground, landing in a crouched position, almost falling. He had to be good at that. He was bunny-boy after all, a superhero alias from his bestest guy friend, Gerard.

"Nice to meet you, detective. You know my name, but Im also called Bunny-boy.", he smiled.

[hikari]

Hikari scratched her head and shrugged. " I guess there's lotsa older people too." And there were! It almost seemed as if Hikari was the only second year around. Probably because she hadn't really been around to see any of her friends, or meet any people of her own year. Hikari sighed and stood up again. She could never sit still for too long. She would get butt cramps. :] Hikari leaned against the tree and looked up at the boy,named Malachi.

The boy did a flip out of the tree. He had a rocky landing, but it was still impressive. Hikari wanted to try, but she might have killed herself if she did so. Hikari scrunched her nose up in a jealous expression. She looked from the high to to the boy."Where'd ya learn how to do that at?" Hiki tilted her head to one side. Was he,like, some sort of gymnast boy or something? Or maybe he was a ninja in disguise! Hikari's eyes widened, and she was actually anxious to know his response. Hikari frowned. What were the odds that he would be some sort of ninja boy?

Malachi said something and Hikari blinked for a moment.She bowed once." It's nice to meet you too, Bunny-boy." The girl scratched her head,with a confused expression on her face. Bunny-boy? How did that work?
