Braeden's comfort quickly shattered, though, as he heard a sound behind him; something dull followed by the crunching of the dead leaves on the ground. Completely startled, the cowardly Braeden jumped nearly a foot into the air and froze for a moment in which he debated - should he run for his life or check to see what had happened?

Oh c'mon, Brae, you're a Gryffindor. You're brave! he thought with a bit of a grimace. If there was a death eater somewhere back there he would scream. And maybe even cry.

Slowly, he turned around.
GAH! He knew it! The trees were alive attacking people! Of course, Brae hadn't seen that the girl had walked straight into a tree, rather than the tree growing feet and knocking her over on purpose.

"Are you alright?!" he asked, quickly making his way over to the girl in a brief, short run. She looked like the hit hadn't been very gentle; the sound of it hadn't been very gentle either, Braeden remembered. "Who was it?! I'll get 'im, he couldn't have gone far! Was it this tree?!" he asked, pointing at the nearest tree. The sad thing was Braeden was serious in accusing a tree of a crime.

Ever so brilliant, our cowardly lion.

Would you look at that? That leaf bore a striking resemblance to the image of her pet falcon.

Laying there on the ground, Ivory lifted a slim hand to sort of wave it in the air trying to catch the leaf. Not knowing her depth perception was probably feet off, she smiled funnily at the canopy of branches. It was so nice outside, it really was.

Mmmmm. Hearing a voice from nearby, her eyes blinked a few times as she tried to focus. Was she alright? Why yes, everything was fine. Nodding distractedly she snuggled into the wonderful assortment of cushiony leaves and....

What? When did she lay down? Shaking her head a bit to clear the goofy wispyness of it all, she brought her head up slowly only now realizing the dull pain on her forehead.

Staring dazedly at the concerned guy next to her she nodded vaguely.

Had someone pushed her?? Well if someone had it was sweet of him to offer to go after him. Bringing up a hand to her forehead, she winced slightly as she felt the beginnings of a bump. A bump covered with scratchy stuff?

Picking it off, she held it up questioningly. Bark. Yes, it was in fact tree bark.

And then the rest of the guy's questions sunk in...Was it the tree?

Realizing what had happened, Ivory ducked her head down as she tried to sit up slowly bracing herself on her elbows.

Goofy smile now replaced by a sheepish one, she tried hard to hold back a blush as she tried to get up. " Yes, but it wasn't his fault. I provoked him."
