You need to comfront the lake again or else you won't fully be heal
The nurses words rang in his head as he slowly made his way to the lake. The closer he got, the more violently he began to shake. He couldn't do this, he just couldn't.
"I have to though", he thought bitterly to himself as he edged nearer.
He jumped and with a yell and a flick of the wand, he sent a weak spell at the Gaint Squid that did only Lord knows what.
He groaned. He turned around, ready to leave, not ready for this after all.

Drew had seen the younger Hufflepuff heading down to the lake and followed him. He and Cris had never gotten along very well, but Drew figured there were still a few things Cris needed to hear from him. He had just come up behind the other boy when he turned around, making Drew Jump.
"hey," Drew said quietly, forgetting for a moment what he had wanted to say.

"Oh gah", said Cris as he jumped as he saw Drew.
Drew of all people was the last Cris wanted to face. He felt humiliated after the innicident with the squid. An innicident Drew had witnessed first hand.
"I'm sorry", he said quietly looking down as he for once became humbled. "I didn't see you there".

"It's okay," Drew mumbled back, feeling a little awkward and wondering why he had even followed Cris out. Okay, when push came to shove, he had been worried about the kid. Cris didn't really need to know that though, did he? "I heard you were awake again. How are you feeling?"

"Where's a knife when you need one", thought Cris to himself as he felt the tension that not only he was emitting but also Drew.
"Okay, thanks. The nurse still insists I take some kind of a memory drought for any lingering amnesia.....and she wants me to...to....nevermind, it's not important", he said quietly as he looked back at the squid, lingering around the center of the lake.
"What happened", he thought to himself as he spotted the tree he drenched Krissy with a water balloon in. This place used to be his favorite place in the whole school. He had so many memories here. How could that all have changed so quickly?

"Amnesia?" Drew repeated, wrinkling his nose at the idea. He had dealt with two other people suffering from the condition: One, it had been kind of funny. The other, not so funny.
Cris didn't strike him as someone with memory loss. For one, he knew Drew... already a step up from the others.

"Yeah", Cris mumbled, not liking the emphasis on something that was pretty much not there anymore. "When I first woke up, the nurse told me I couldn't remember where I was or what I'd been doing before I get there. It wasn't that bad a case, but just the same. She said it was normal for the mind to block out things like that and what had happened hours or even days before them. Not that it matters. The only thing left to remember, I'm too afraid to", said Cris, not realizing he said more than he intended to.
He looked at the lake. He remembered going down to the lake that day to try surfing. He also remembered being underwater and the squid pulling him further down. He couldn't remember what happened between though, and he didn't care to. Aside from the physical theorpy, the rest of his "treatment" was just stupid.

Drew's mind went back to that day as well. A small group had gathered on the edge to pretty much mock the Huffle's stupidity. When they started to realize that Cris wasn't coming up, they became concerned. Drew had been first in the water with Hiro right behind. They had come close to grabbing onto Cris, but the squid was faster and the Ravenclaws had to resurface with out the Huffle. Drew couldn't help but feel a little guilty for failing.
"Hey... I'm sorry," he said softly, looking at his own feet. "Me and Hiro... we tried, but... we couldn't."

"Don't", said Cris, somewhat irritated that Drew was getting weak on him the one time he needed him to be strong. To be his usual cocky yet real self. He needed some stability, and part of that was their love hate realtionship thing. Of course he wasn't going to say that though. He wasn't going to be rude when it was so obvious in Drew's eyes that he was still a little worried and concerned.
"While I can't remember what I was doing before I got pulled under, I know it was my fault. I know I did something stupid. You and Hiro probably couldn't have done anything. Please don't beat yourself over doing what you could Drew.", said Cris with a blank face as he squeezed Drew's shoulder reaussringly.

Dorf pushed past Drew and hugged Cris long and tight. She pulled away and smiled at him. "It's good to see you're okay!" she said, and walked past him to her favorite willow tree. She swung her bag onto a low-lying branch then disappeared into the higher branches. She pulled her bag up, took a letter from her mother out and hung the strap on a stub of a branch near where she was perched.
My Dearest Do she read...

While glad the girl broke up what was turning into a rather sappy moment, Drew was a little annoyed that the girl pushed him aside so rudely. He curled his lip at her as she did her drive-by hugging. "Whatever that was..." he grumbled.

Dorf heard someone mumble something. She curled her legs around the branch she was sitting on and threw herself into a handing posion. Swinging back and forth, Dorf had an upside down view of two boys standing over there.
"Oh, sorry," she said, "didn't see you there! I'm Dorf." Dorf stuck out an upside down hand offering it to the ravenclaw. "Nice to meet you!"

Drew raised an eyebrow at her, wondering if she needed her eyes checked or if she was just rude. At six-foot-something, he was kind of hard to miss. "Drew Thornton. Nice to meet you," he answered, mostly out of politeness, taking her hand and shaking it.

"Well, it's nice to meet you, Drew," Dorf smiled. Drew was tall, given, but didn't seem to be interested in meeting new people. Though they had met before- Drew had bumped all the books out of her arms once. He had helped her pick them up, smiled at her then left without a word.
Dorf grabbed the branch she was hanging on with her hands and dropped her feet to the ground. She faced Drew, her head came to below his shoulders. "My word, you really are tall aren't you, don't know how I could have missed you!" She thought a moment then added, "but I have been told I'm narrow minded!?"

{now that's a power play I can get behind thank you ;D } Drew shrugged back, smiling crookedly down at her and not sure how to respond. He found it kind of odd how some people liked telling him how tall he was, as if he didn't already know. If it was bad now, how bad would it be in a few years? {I'm deleting all of my OOC posts}
