Alex headed out to the edge of the forbidden forest with her floating panda bear, looking around for members of the search party. When she wasnt paying attention, she let the poor animal bump, rather hard, into a rock. "Blast it!" she muttered as she levitated the bear onto the ground and released the spells on it so she could fix its bleeding leg.

The panda was terrified. Pandas were supposed to climb trees and such right? Well, this particular panda didn't like to be in the air for some strange reason. It made her feel rather uncomfortable. And the fact that she was still incapable of moving wasn't really helping. But at least now she was outside. That had to be good, right?

Wrong.

If the panda was able to make a sound, a horrid, painful cry would have been heard when she bumped into a rock. Her front right leg ached alot and she could see a red substance coming out of it. The panda cringed when she was putted back on the ground and immediately rose her injured leg, suporting all her weight on her other three legs.

Looking at the big human, the panda cried out painfully but soon realised something. She was outside and she could move. As quickly as she could, she started running into the forest, groaning rather happily for being free. Hurt, but free.

Alex turned to look behind her when she thought she saw something move out of the corner of her eye. Upon seeing nothing she turned back to the bear only, the bear wasnt there! She looked up just in time to see the bear go behind a tree and disappear from sight. "Drat!" she exclaimed, she really should go into the forest alone, so she turned around and walked away, intent on finding the search party.

Jason potter flies around the forbidden forest which is home since he was forced out of la Quidditch by Death Eaters and Lord Voldermitis. " I see some animals he tells Professor Pierce. " I hope I am not interfering and do not want to lose points or put in detention, I just figured I wound find students here, since we couldn't find any at the lake" Jason tells her. " I see a Red Fox, Black Cat and a Panda Bear." Jason tells her.

Hitachi found his way to the Forbidden forest hesitantly. He noticed Professor Pierce out and about, searching for students. He approached her and said, "Professor Pierce, I've that students were allowed to search for students with the guide of a professor. I believe that's you professor Pierce?" Hitachi surveyed the large forest, somehow blindly hoping he'd find a wondering student whom needed to be found.

Sana was flying down carefully not hitting any trees as her robes flies behind her. She was in the search group and just came back from the Broomshed after heard Professors instructions. She saw another Professor was there and monitoring everyone. She got near to her and asked, 'Hi professor, is there any tips for us?" But her eyes were searching around the place curiously.

Delilah walked into the Forbidden Forest, marveling at its beauty.

Sahrina decided to walk into the forest. She had to admit, it scared her a little.

When she walked in she saw Delilah. "Oh, hey, how are you?" she asked walking up to her.

"I'm great" Delilah replied giving her friend a small hug. "And you?"

Emily shivered as she entered the Forbidden Forest. Where the heck had the rest of the search party got to? Gah! She never expected to be in the forest…. alone. But for some reason she didn’t turn back, she just kept on walking. Hopefully the rumours she had heard about this place were nothing than just that… stories.

She got a little further in and spotted someone else not to far away. It was that Hufflepuff she’d met at the lake when she’d been with Ellie. 'Oh well.' Any company in this place was better than none. She shrugged and wandered over to the girl. What was her name again? Parker… no…. Packman… no? Parkie! That was it! “Hello Parkie. You lost too?” she asked the girl. Two was better than one.

She jumped as she heard another student. Where had she come from? She raised an eyebrow before giving her a small smile. "Hi." she said quietly to the Ravenclaw. Three was, indeed, better than two when you were lost in the Forbidden Forest.

Delilah turned hearing another voice from behind her she turned to see Ellie's friend Emily. "Hello Emily, no I'm not lost. Are you?" Delilah asked, ignoring the name she was called.

Emily breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ems was the only person around here with a rubbish sense of direction. “You weren’t with the search party?” she asked. “What are you doing here then?” she asked raising that eyebrow again. Students shouldn't just wander into the Forbidden Forest willy nilly.

"Thats good."

"I'm pretty good. THis place is kinda creepy. I mean, it's beautiful, but at the same time, I'm a little scared." she admitted. "Know what I mean?"

"Search Party? Oh right, of course I'm with the search party. I was just meeting here with Sahrina so we could search together. Right Sahrina?" Delilah said realizing if she told the truth she and Sahrina both would be in trouble. Delilah looked at Sahrina for support, hoping she would understand that they now had to join the search party. "And yea it is kinda creepy"

“Hmm…” Was this girl lying to Ems? The cheek of it! She narrowed her eyes as she looked at her. “Any sign of anyone… or anything?” She asked both the girls. Maybe this was a good thing. The three girls would have a head-start searching the forest for any of the missing students.

"No actually." Delilah said shaking her head mournfully. "How about you Sahrina?"

"Uh........." Sahrina said wonde4ring what Delilah was talking about. She caught on. "Uhm, no, no sign of anything yet." she said.

Delilah moved slowly away from Emily to whisper into Sahrina's ear, "Sahrina, what do you think about joining the search. I really am worried about the missing students." Delilah then looked to Sahrina hoping she would be alright with what she was about to do. "Emily do you want to search with us? Maybe with three heads we can work better and faster."

Emily looked from one girl to the other as they whispered to each other. This was all very suspicious indeed. She folded her arms, “Alright. What were you two really doing here?” she asked, narrowing her eyes slightly. ...As if it was actually any of Emily's business. but she didn't like when people whispered like that... it was just plain rude!

She nodded as Parkie asked if Ems wanted to join them, grateful that she wouldn't be left all alone in the forest. "Thanks, Parkie." she said with a small smile.

"Fine with me." Sahrina whispered back.
"I'll search with her." she added in a whisper.

Delilah gave Sahrina a grateful galnce then opened her mouth to explain to Emily. "I came in to explore and Sahrina" here she took a glance at Sahrina "Sahrina why did you come into the forest?" Delilah asked then looked at Emily "I really would like to help find the missing students." Delilah said hoping Emily saw the sincerity in her eyes.

Amelia remembered the History of Magic lesson with Lainey, and how other students had perhaps seen animals running off into the forest. If this was the case; students really were turning into animals, then perhaps she ought to scan the forest. Even on a broomstick though, the darkness and noises were still frightening to her sixteen year old self.

Flying several feet above ground, her eyes scanned among the snow glistened forest ground. It didn't take her long before she heard voices. Young voices. Flying just a bit lower, so she could catch a glimpse, there she saw them. Three students - none of them looking more than twelve.

She sighed and flew lower so that she knew she was in earshot. "Excuse me, but are you kids here... in the forest... walking alone?" the sixth year asked. This was definitely not something she would have even considered when she was a first year; search party or not - the forest was forbidden for a reason.

"Well, I really came to exlaore too. But I reallly care about the missing students." Sahrina told her. She hoped the girl would see she wasnt lieing.

ooc-gotta go, sorry

Delilah looked at the girl on the broomstick then looked at Emily and Sahrina and said "We're in the search party looking for the missing students." With these words Delilah shot a small smile in Emily's direction.

ooc:its alright, see ya some other time. bye.
