Lost at Night (Ken)

[Karina Ariel Foxx]

Scratch scribble scratch

That was the only sound that could be heard outside besides the wind whistling through the tall imposing trees of the forbidden forest. Where was that sound coming from? Perhaps a strange creature sharpening it’s claws for the hunt, or maybe Mr. Ryder and Ms. Hewitt doing the horizontal tango in that rickety old bed. Truth be told, it was none of those things, the scribbles were coming from the pencil of a Ravenclaw girl, one Karina Ariel Foxx to be exact.

One question that would come to mind to any passing student would be, Why in the name of Merlin is she walking without paying attention to her surroundings? Rina didn’t care where she was going so long as she was able to finish what she was doing, and that was her homework. The sun was beginning to set right around then, the shadows of the trees loomed before her, clouding her vision. “Stupid trees…” She muttered as she pulled out her wand. “Lumos” She said clearly before clenching the stick of wood between teeth and returned to her work.

Time for a rest She thought as she leaned against a tree trunk and slid to the dusty earth. She closed her notebook and looked around, her bright blue eyes scanning the trees around her for danger. “Where…am I?” She thought out loud as she pulled her knees to her chest. She wasn’t afraid, just curious as to how she had gotten there. Rina hadn’t gone very far into the deadly forest, she could still see the entrance at least, but it was far enough away that someone would have to walk right by her to actually see her. “Damn.” she said as she flipped her dark hair over her shoulder and smoothed the hem of her skirt down over her pale knees.

[Kenneth Glanmore Peakes]

Kenneth wasn't exactly sure what he was doing in the Forbidden Forest, but he felt it was the right place for him to be at the moment. Quidditch season was just a while away, and it was going to be the greatest one for Ravenclaw yet. It was pretty obvious that Ken was the greatest player Ravenclaw had ever seen, so that was basically an automatic win for the Home of the Intelligent. Kenneth wasn't necessarily surprised to see that he'd been made captain; it was the only logical thing to do. But he was proud of it regardless! A full term of representing the greatest house of them all!

The only thing on his mind as he wandered through the Forbidden Forest was (surprise, surprise!) the upcoming Quidditch Season. He had gotten wind of some of the other Quidditch Captains (Aria Starr for Slytherin and Alexandra Samuels for Gryffindor), and it only boosted his confidence level. So what if those two houses have been placing either first or second within the past few years? Ravenclaw didn't have Kenneth Peakes as captain then.

His grin was still in tact as he pushed through a few bushes and branches, then arched an eyebrow when he noticed another Ravenclaw sitting by a tree trunk, and took in the fact that she looked lost. Well, maybe Ken coulf try and, uhm, help her. -winkwink- They don't make 'em like that back home. Ken thought, smirking confidently as he approached the girl. "I'm Quidditch Capta- er, Ken Peakes." He greeted. "What are you doing out here all alone, anyway? Are you waiting for somebody?"

[Karina Ariel Foxx]

What’s so scary about this place anyway? Karina thought as she glanced around again. Sure the trees were huge and could possibly be hiding a mini army of creatures in its branches, and maybe the whole ’covered in shadows’ thing was a fear factor, but she still couldn’t see why it was scary. Until she heard something come through the bushes that is. She bit the inside of her cheek to muffle a scream, which oddly enough came out as more of a squeak.

I'm Quidditch Capta- er, Ken Peakes." He greeted. "What are you doing out here all alone, anyway? Are you waiting for somebody?”

Karina glanced up at the boy who had spoken, and her eyebrows shot up. Did he mention Quidditch? She thought as she stood up and dusted her butt off. “Well, I was supposed to be at the Lake…but I got a bit distracted and…” She waved a hand at the forest around them, “Wound up here.” She smiled pleasantly at him and flipped her hair over her shoulder again. “Nope, I doubt anyone would want to meet in the Forest, but I guess we did so…..HI!” She said, sticking her hands out towards him.

“I’m Karina Foxx, Sixth year Ravenclaw.” She said, giving him a more flirtatious smile. Ooooh He’s cute.. She thought sheepishly.
