Forest of Dean

This is inside the forest, which appears to go on for miles and miles.

Eirina apparated herself into the middle of the forest, kicking the dirt and letting loose a few spells, harmless to the trees that they hit. Her anger and sadness were mixing emotions, raging and letting loose. After a while, she gave up and collapsed on the ground, head hidden between her legs.

Emile had grown slightly bored of circling around his school: nothing seemed to be out of order. After setting a couple of senior students on watch, Emile drew outside, seeking inspiration for his next collection. He thought maybe he could design costumes for the Tournament, and if they didn’t pass… well, there was always a muggle exhibition he could present them at.
The forest near Beauxbatons seemed dull to him, as he had wandered through it many times before. For whatever reason, he remembered another forest, where he camped once during his travels. Emile decided to apparate there.

Upon arriving, Emile waited for a moment - for the colourful lights that blurred his vision to disappear. Curious thing was, they did not. At least, Emile realized, he had regained his sight, but the colours were still there – colours of different spells. Cocking his head slightly, he decided to follow the lightshow and, what he thought was, angry muttering. It all stopped before he could see what was causing them, though, so Emile simply continued in the same direction until – he found himself gazing at a figure of a woman.

Emile’s expression reflected confusion. He could not see who the woman was, seeing as her face was hidden. But it seemed to him that she was distressed, perhaps angry or sad – perhaps even both. And so Emile did the only thing he could think of at that moment. After all, he could not simply leave.

“Are you alright?” he asked softly, crouching down next to the woman and placing a comforting hand onto her shoulder, gently, so as not to startle her. It might have seemed too forward of him, but it was simply the kind of person Emile was. If someone was in trouble, he would not simply stand by and watch.

Eirina looked up, not at the new man who had arrived, but straightforwards. She felt too many emotions raging through her that she didn't want to talk.

"I'm fine."

Her gaze was blank, dull and lost. She wasn't going to be having a very good time just yet, and she still had a whole year ahead of her. Maybe if she confined herself to the forest or even the school, she wouldn't be bothered by a man of her past.

"Bien sûr! Of course you are," Emile shook his head slightly but, knowing she couldn't see, made his voice sound ridiculously pretend-serious. Not to mock her, but to try and let her know he was not in the least convinced. Looking at her sideways, Emile was mildly surprised to see a familiar face, but did little to show that surprise. Instead, he let go of her shoulder and plopped down next to her, speaking softly: "Bonjour, miss Naer."

Eirina turned her head sideways before letting out a huge sigh and burrying her face back into her own knees. She spoke french, but with a terrible english accent attached to it.

"Bonjour Emile. S'il vous plait, appelez-moi Eirina."

"If zat eez your wish," Emile's lips were graced with a smile immediately, though his attempt at speaking English was close to completely unsuccessful.

"Ce qui est mal, Eirina? Je rememberz vous as a smiling young woman, full of high spirits," frowning slightly he recalled the last time he'd met with her. Perhaps the description was not completely accurate but, in comparison to now, it seemed right to Emile.

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:12 pm

Eirina smiled and shook her head.

"I'm getting older by the day, life can hit you hard."

She put her wand away and sat facing Emile. She remembered him from the last Triwizard Tournament. Eirina would never admit it but the first day she did have a bit of a crush on him, though that soon dispersed when she got to know him better.

Ever the optimist, Emile could not accept such a simple answer. Though he had faced troubles of his own before, he was still a child at heart. To worry too much is not something he liked to do.

"Then," he jumped to his feet lightly, presenting both of his hands for her to take. "I must help you become young again!"

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:24 pm

Eirina shook her head, laughing a bit as she took his hand.

"You are a bit insane, I can't become young again and I don't think it would be a good idea. How about we just go and grab a bite?"

"Are you complètement fou?" Emile grinned at her. "I came here for a reason today, you know?"

If she didn't want to talk about what was bothering her - that was fine. He would not pressure her. But he would have her loosen up a bit and have fun. Everyone deserved a break once in a while, and so did the Headmistress of Hogwarts!
Content with that kind of reasoning, Emile pulled her up and pulled gently to make her start walking in the direction he had set in his mind beforehand.

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:31 pm

Eirina trutted bhind him, looking around and examining the forest before a sparking thought reached her mind.

"Wait! Where are we going? Nothing crazy or rediculous!"

Knowing Emile, Eirina didn't want to end up someplace doing something that she, of course, didn't want to. He was fun, but for her it was fun to watch, instead of being part of it.

"Somewhere fun?" Emile offered. "Eet'z near here, I promise! Just a minute or two through to the clearing."

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:37 pm

Eirina nodded her head, holding her breath as she spoke.

"Okayy..."

She followed him, a little unwillingly.

(sorry! xD lessay it's by one of the rivers?)

"Oh, don't look so repulsed," Emile almost sighed, but kept the smile on his face. "It's Jinny Joe day!"

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:43 pm

(okay!)

Eirina looked at him oddly.

"What is Jimmy Joe day?"

(I'll post by the Wye river next)

"JiNNy Joe, Eirina! Come with me and I'll show you," he tugged again gently, his walk turning into a slight skip. Emile could be both serious and patient when he wanted to - which was not today. The clearing became almost apparent then, as they had only a small distance to walk.

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Sat Dec 18, 2010 4:47 pm

Giving in, Eirina nodded her head and followed dilligently.

In animagus form, Nadya was crouched low to the ground, her determined gaze drifting around the forest as she waited alertly for some prey to come along.

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Thu Jan 20, 2011 9:53 pm

Once she had caught enough to satisfy her hunger, she left the forest to retreive her bag.

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Wed Jun 29, 2011 12:18 am

Deeper than deep, Nadya appeared in the forest, and instantly became lost in the sounds of nature. Birds chirping, the occasional russling of a bush, and she could even catch movement of animals among the trees. It wasn't nearly as comfortable as the harsh winter temperatures of Durmstrang, but it would hold her for now. After glancing around and making sure the coast was clear, she transformed into animagus form and stretched out her paws, ready for a good pounce.

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Wed Jun 29, 2011 12:26 am

It was good to be back on her feet again. Her muscles ached for a good run, and the sounds of the variety of creatures in the forest only enticed her more. She didn't want to chase a rabbit or mouse though. No, she wanted to go after something bigger. What would she find in a forest like this? There was only one way Nadya planned on finding out. She clawed her way up into the nearest tree and opened her mouth to catch an enticing scent before jumping back down and moving briskly in that direction.

Lilith was walking through the dense forest, her panther up near her leg. Probably it was nice to escape from Bulgaria every now and then, her parents had brought her through intense training and endless studies ever since she had graduated from Durmstrang.

They had even bought her a new wand, one more practical, useful and unique. She lit her cigarette and carried on walking. She knew that no wild animals would attack when her panther was out beside her, in its real form

*Aries appeared in the shadow. Even as she appeared, the forest turn dark, unwelcome as even the trees wanted no part of Aries being there. A howl from a distance made the trees shutter into silence. It was now dead silence that all Aries could hear was the rising fall of her breathing.

Soon she stepped out of the shadows, and into the light. In the path of Lilith.*

"Lilith, my dear student."

*She said it coyly, almost playfully.*

Subject: Re: Forest of Dean Wed Jul 20, 2011 9:55 pm

Lilith's breath hitched as she saw that familiar figure...Aries.

Her panther growled ever so slightly, knowing full well what this woman could do.

Lilith hesitated slightly before talking. "Headmistress?" she bowed her head slightly.
