Snuck II

[Lianna Maylorn]

Yes, indeed, the first year was back to the old trick. Yes, she knew Hogsmeade was forbidden to her, yes she still saw the same bitter irony as at the beginning of the year, but no the Three Broomsticks was not her destination for the day.

No, her destination was a tad further up the main street, Honeyduke's. Yes the esteemed and infamous sweet shop, Yes, she was going for fudge, and no, she had no intention of getting caught. Not outright of course but it was bound to happen.

Opening the door, the bell sounded, and Lianna, out of her Hogwart's robes, began scanning the shelves of mouth-watering delicacies.

There was so much to be had.

(Just as open as the first one )

[Brittany Garland]

Brittany had been dying to do something all day. However, it seemed that nothing was going on and no one seemed to be interested in doing anything. That was disappointing. But what was even more disappointing was that she had to stay confined within the castle's gates. It seemed unfair that they only took the kids to Hogsmeade two or three times each year. She was tempted to walk out the gates but knew that someone would spot her and that she would be caught. That would simply not do.

Later on that day, while walking on the third floor she caught eye of something that look familiar. Stopping, she remembered it as the way to get to the secret passage that led to Hogsmeade. It was very tempting, but the question was did she want to tak the risk.

As she walked down the dark tunnel, she was excited and full of energy to be stowing away to Hogsmeade. She had been cautious and made sure that it was clear when she opened the secret passage. When Brittany came up to the end of the passage, she slowly peeped out to make sure the room was clear. Seeing that it was she hurried out and walked fast out of the back room.

Coming out into the front of the store, she was hit with the bright sunlight. Blinking many times to adjust her vision, she saw that she wasn't alone in sneaking out of Hogwarts. She spotted the little Hufflepuff that she had walked back to her common room, Lianna. Walking up behind her she tapped her on the shoulder and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Excuse me...I don't believe first years are allowed outside the perimeter of Hogwarts." Brittany stated in a firm voice, though she had a smirk on her face.

"Excuse me...I don't believe first years are allowed outside the perimeter of Hogwarts."

The voice rang through her ears with a rather startling force accompanying it. Technically, with, whatever it was that her mother had ranted about, Difia or something like that, none of the students were to be out of the castle. But, she just didn't buy that excuse. She had it on paper somewhere, but where exactly was a real good question. Left with no other option she turned around ready to deny the claim as to where she belonged. However...

It was the older girl from the sixth floor, or, whatever floor it had been. Either way, she was one hundred percent caught, again.

"Umm...I can explain?" She said managing a half smile that showed nervousness at the least. She didn't want to get caught, she had been home free, just bum luck like last time. Luck never had been on her side so far at Hogwarts.

Brittany cheered in her head. She loved having authority or at least being thought of as someone that could possibly have authority. Holding her ground and not showing any sign of emotion now, she had let her smile fade. Looking down upon her she flipped a strand of her hair hanging in her eyes back.

"Well?" Brittany prompted her, eager to hear what kind of reason she would come up with.

[Lianna Maylorn]

(Ergh, sorry Britt!)

Actually, no she couldn't explain, not well, but she would try. "My mum,s he sent me something tot he post office here and...I wanted to pick it up, you know...I wasn't sure if it would actually get all the way tot he school, so I figured I'd come down here and get it and..." She was repeating herself, and thus trailed off there. She doubted the sixth year would report her for anything but, she couldn't be too careful.

Not that she wasn't already incriminated merely by being there.

Brittany couldn't stand it anymore. Watching the poor girl stumble over her words and repeat her self was a funny sight. Smiling she let out a long laugh knowing this would completely through the girl off-guard. She seemed so skiddish and shy that it reminded the Gryffindor of her younger self. Remembering that she used to be just as bad and just as scared when older kids would talk to her when she was a first year.

Thankfully, she had grown out of that stage. But now found it a bit annoying when the younger years were like that. Though she could understand where they were coming from. "It's alright. I'm not going to report you or anything. Then they'd ask me why I was here but at least I'd have a better excuse than that." Brittany explained with a wink letting the girl know she was just joking about the last part.
