Ella felt a little silly scolding Barnabus in front of Sophie, after all he was a pygmy puff...maybe his brain hadn't registered danger the way humans' brains do around the Whomping Willow. The yellow puff had scared Ella to death though, so that warranted some kind of stern speech. She hoped her friend didn't think she was mean or anything because of it. "I'm really glad he's alright, too." The second year didn't know what she would have done if he had gotten hurt, or worse, killed. As for her question, Ella nodded. "Yeah, he's been doing weird things like this a lot. Like rolling away from me or hiding in different places. I don't know what's up with him." She wasn't an expert or anything but she had gone as far as to purchase a few books on puffs during the break. "Maybe it's time to go to a professional...you think they have pygmy puff shrinks or something?" She asked her friend, a hopeful look on her face. Sophie gave a small smile at Ella, still thankful she hadn't harmed Barny.
Ella seemed to have suddenly realised what she was doing and didn't seem too comfortable with it. Sophie's smile widened a bit in a reassuring way. She knew that Ella should at least try and teach her Pygmy Puff how to behave. What could happen with it if Ella wasn't around to watch him all the time?? He should learn that the Whomping Willow was not a good company for the ones who couldn't think properly.
Sophie frowned curiously. He's been acting weird for a while then? "Maybe professor Williamson can help?" And she couldn't help but chuckle at Ella' question about Pygmy Puff shrinks. That sounded crazy! But... "Dunno, maybe there is?" Text Cut: Damon and Alec! Quote:

It wasn't like he could read a book or something - no, that was NOT the kind of twelve year old that the boy who when by Damon was.
He dug his hand into his pocket, pulling out one of the many packs of Skittles he had brought to school with him and tore it open. Eating sweets should pass some time, he thought, and then maybe he could -
Wait, what was that running away from him? Why was there no longer pressure on his shoulder? "Paul?!" he called, his head shooting up, the Skittles forgotten in his hand. "Paul, don't run away! Come back!" With that, he was sprinting after the Pgymy Puff, Skittles spilling from his hand as he ran right towards the tree that he so hated.
Stupid stupid creature. "PAUUUUUUUUUUL." Quote:

Then he could have gotten a decent haircut and not have this constant worry about... hair. He could have been worrying about other things! Like tryouts for example. That was a scary thought.
Alec shook his head as his feet made its way towards the Whomping Willow. Why? Even he didn't know. For some reason, it seemed like being near the big tree was the place to be today. The swishing branches wouldn't put him at rest but... it was still an awesome tree. Very cool for a plant that doesn't wear sunglasses.
And what was cooler was the fact that there were tiny rainbow coloured sweets everywhere! How cool was this? If the sweets had fallen on plates, he would have picked them up and eaten them. But seeing as it had fallen on the ground... he could follow them? Oh! It could lead him to a new magical place! The thirteen year old bent down slightly as he looked around, trying to find more sweeties he could follow. But before he could go any further...
... there was a SHOUT! A really really big SHOUT! Alec's head snapped up as he saw a boy... running towards the tree? NOOOO! Alec will NOT let this happen! The thirteen year old ran after the boy as fast as he could, a million and one questions popping into his head. Why why WHY was the boy calling the tree 'Paul'?!
And... TACKLE! "AAARRGGHH!" he yelled, jumping on the boys back and tackling him down to the ground. They were closer to the tree... but at least the boy wasn't going to be hurt now. PHEW! Alec the Superman was back. Quote:

The little thing was usually so content, in his pocket or on his shoulder or even buried in his hair, and this was just out of character!
That, and the fact that it was FAST. Since when had it been FAST? Although its movements were still halting and jarred, it was speeding away from him faster than the twelve year old had ever imagined the stupid tiny creature could go, and he couldn't even catch up to it, despite being about one-million-billion-trillion! times it's size.
Darwin blamed the head start it had had whilst he'd been trying to eat his Skittles, which now lay all but forgotten about on the ground behind him, the now-empty packet still clutched tight in his fist.
Determined to catch up with the animal, Dar's eats barely registered the scream that came from behind him - after all, there were so many people at this school he was used to blotting out noises that he didn't think were directed at him. What he WASN'T used to blotting out, if blotting it out were even possible, was people ATTACKING him from behind. ATTACKING him SUPER hard and causing him to fall to the ground. "GERROFF ME!" was the boy's first shout, muffled by the mouthful of grass he was struggling to spit out. "GERROFF ME! I NEED TO GET PAUL!"
And he would have cursed the mean ATTACKER to HELL if he hadn't been scared or known how had been able to reach his wand, which was now pinned underneath him. And she saw with the corner of her eye two things moving really fast towards the Whomping Willow. She turned her head in that direction just in time to see Alec juping on someone. O_o she didn't know Alec was the fighting kind... then she noticed something else going towards the Willow.
ANOTHER PYGMY PUFF!!! WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THOSE CREATURES???
Her eyes widened and she put her hands over her mouth to keep her from screaming. She didn't want to use the Freezing Charm on another Puff and risk to hurt it! And she was too far to run for it... OHMERLIN, NOWWHAT?? |
