Can you smell the trees?--{{Tess&Noah}}

[badass]

Tess walked into the Forbidden Forest, her head held high. She had just came from Classroom 11, because she was spotted out after hours. Tess was never in bed when she was suppose to be, and that was the way she liked it. She had never been caught either. Well, that is until now. Stupid, Duros, had made her write sentences, like all the other students.
I will not stay out past hours.
I will not stay out past hours.
I will not stay out past hours.
Tessa had given up writing her sentences, and waited for Duros to dismiss them. Then she had decided to go to the Forbidden Forest, to practice her spells. She also just wanted to think. She was sort of hoping someone would show up though. Someone she could talk to. Someone that would listen.
Tess walked into the Forest, and the tall trees began to cower over her, the deeper she got into the Forest. It became darker, and colder, the way she liked it. She felt a sudden peacefulness wash through her. Once she reached, a small area, where the trees thinned, she found a small boulder to sit upon. She walked up to it, and sat down, digging through her bag. She was looking for a list of spells, that she had ripped out of a book, in the restricted section. Sure, the librarian would notice, eventually, but then it would be too late. She wouldn't know who did it. Tess smiled evilly, once she grabbed the small piece of ripped paper. Her eyes darted across the paper, and she read it over, and over again, trying to memorize it. She put the paper back down, and stood up. She grabbed her wand from her pocket, and twisted it around, in her hand. She cleared her throat, and was about to say the first spell listed on the page, but then...

[Noah Dale]

It was that very evening that a Mr. Noah Dale decided to walk through the forest. Over the years, he had been working through his fear of the woods by stepping foot into the Forbinned Forest. He would twilr his wand inbetween his fingers and watch as the widelife passed by. He had yet met anything too fercious, and he hadn't been attacked. He enjoyed his monthly trips to the Threstals, he was able to see them due to watching his uncle die before him, and found some odd comfort in them, as if they were telling him that everything was going to be alright.

Noah was heading down for that monthly visit that barely anyone knew about, due to his lack of friends. He carried a small sack on his back, filled with apples and raw meat, since they could never seem to decide on which to take, yet oddly it was mostly the raw meat. He was about to pass through the small meadow when he heard movement. Wand raised he slowly made his way through the bushes, only to step on a few sticks, not evening noticing them in the dark. He cursed himself under his breathe but noticed a girl sitting on a boulder. With a raised eyebrow he took a step forward, noticing her as a seventh year Slytherin. "Hello?" he said hoarsely, stepping catiously out into the meadow.

Tess' head shot up as she heard the footsteps of another. She watched as the known Hufflepuff waltzed out into the meadow. His voice sounded clear as she studied him, knowing him instantly. He was from the Whomping Willow that night when Corliss had murdered the innocent Avery Bishop. Of course she had been watching the scene play out in front of her. Of course she had been hiding behind a boulder from a distance, her eyes watching as the tree tore as the boy's flesh. The thought of murder disgusted her, especially after she had watched her brother be murdered. She turned her head away from the boy, her eyes sharp. She had also watched him hug upon Corliss who was crying after the murder. How disguising.' She thought temperamentally to herself.

Tess turned her head back to Noah, flipping her long blond hair over her shoulder to get a better view of him. She finally spoke her voice floating in the air. "May I help you? I didn't murder anyone... no need to comfort me. I'm not THAT heart less. Especially if it was my first love, and best friend. How disgusting." The last word slid off of the end of her tongue like a slug. She looked Noah up and down one time, turning her back on him once more. Her words had been meant to basically tell him that she knew what Corliss had done. She smiled evilly, though she was not entirely evil.
