Two Red Hoods and One Green

[Pontifex Maximus]

Atticus burst out of Potions and nearly sprinted to the courtyard. There was a chill in the air, so he had wrapped his long green scarf securely around his neck. He waited to be joined by Cecil and Weatherby. Of course, he hadn't been surprised by their acceptance, what with their supposed 'bravery' and all. They might be less inclined to help if they knew his intentions were to gather ingredients for a potion that would help Atticus attack a fellow student, but they didn't need to know the details. They were in it for the adventure.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Atticus smiled to see Cecil almost as excited as he was.

Ashphodel. A flowering plant that usually grows in damp, dimly lit areas. The forest should be right teeming with them, but we should be quick. Some smaller ones close to the outside should do just fine. We should be in and out no problem, unless something comes up, and then, well, that's what wands are for.

[Barry Goldwater]

"Hm, alright. That doesn't sound too bad." Cecil paused before proceeding with his new question, "Speaking of Potions. Why'd you and those two Ravenclaws get dragged out of class? Don't tell me you've gone on some other adventure without telling us."

[Kip]

Weatherby was a few steps behind Cecil - he was delayed a bit when he stopped off at the Gryffindor Common Room before venturing outside, to snag a few pumpkin pasties from the stash he was quickly cultivating from the pastries he smuggled back from dinner each evening. His own scarf draped lazily around his neck. "Hello Cecil, Hello Atticus. Ashphodel then, is it?"

[Pontifex Maximus]

Atticus rolled his eyes

An adventure in utter stupidity. That little prat tried to slip me a love potion of his own making. Turned out to be a laxative draught. Would have been sitting on the toilet for a week in the hospital wing. The headmaster wanted to get to the bottom of it, all in all fairly uneventful...

Atticus' voice trailed off as he remembered seeing the portrait of his uncle

But don't worry, he'll get what's coming to him.

[Barry Goldwater]

Cecil burst out laughing, and didn't quite let down for some time. When he recovered, he half-laughed, "Oh, a love potion? From that crybaby? In our very first year? Oh, that's a good one...hey, waaait..." The smile fell off his face as he realized Atticus was serious. "For real? I - wow. That's just...wow. If that's for real, man, I'd pop him one. Curse, hex, fist to the jaw...seriously, what's wrong with that kid? First he bawls in practically every one of our classes for no reason, and now he tries to slip you a love potion?"

[Kip]

Weatherby simply shook his head. "I was just saying that there was something not quite right about that one. Apparently its less a 'something' and more an 'everything'."

[Pontifex Maximus]

Violeta and I think he's some sort of disgusting half-breed. His eyes- there's something not right about him. Luckily most of the Slytherins feel the same way...Steven will have bitten off a little more than he can chew if he thinks he can try to poison me and get away with it. For Ravenclaws they really aren't very bright. Right then...shall we be off?

Atticus hoisted his small tote over his shoulder and made down the steps.

Better not to be seen after we get past the courtyard, just try to act natural.

"Huh. You mentioned something about him getting what's coming for him before, right? Well, whatever it is you've got planned, make sure it'll be visible after you're through with him, if he's gonna cry all the time then he ought to at least have a real reason to do so. And who knows? Maybe he'll toughen up and stop whining so much in class, too." Cecil laughed grimly. "Ah, you're right. We should get this job done before the sun sets."

Cecil sets off behind Atticus.

[Kip]

Weatherby glanced sideways at Cecil. Half-breed? There was something undeniably unsettling about the Ravenclaw, but Atticus was straying into sensitive territory. However, the shame and embarrassment the Ravenclaw had subjected Atticus to would undeniably cause some acidic feelings. He trotted along in step behind Atticus, trying not to look suspicious.

[Pontifex Maximus]

ooc: to be continued tomorrow

[Master Necromancer]

Sidious saw the three students from the exit from Hogwarts. Sneaking out again are we Atticus? And with those two Gryffindor non the less... Sidious thought to him self. But there are at least two more people in the Forbidden Forest at the moment. Can't wait to hear how this plays out. Hope he doesn't get caught, that would mean no fun for me. He smiled as he turned away on his way to Slytherin dungeons.

[Barry Goldwater]

Cecil thought nothing of Weatherby's sideways glance. The mockery of half-bloods and Muggle-borns was a surefire way to get his blood boiling, but unlike either of his friends (though he didn't know it) he didn't really have a strong stance on half-humans, having never really thought of them since...well, ever.

OOC: I'll be gone until later in the afternoon, so if possible I'd like Kip to resume control of Cecil until I get back like yesterday again so I'm not totally left in the dark. Thanks

[Pontifex Maximus]

Atticus walked with deliberate speed towards the forest. Outlying trees would provide some cover but until then they were quite exposed. He wasted no time in reaching the treeline and waited for the others to catch up.

[Kip]

Weatherby nearly skipped in his haste to reach the Forest beside Atticus, with Cecil right beside him - while perhaps he wasn't as excited at the prospect of harvesting ingredients, he was happy to be out with his friends - and even more puffed up to be skirting the rules a bit in doing so.

[Pontifex Maximus]

Alright, Asphodel would grow in shady places, the flower has light blue petals. I think if we keep to the..hey, careful Weatherby!

Atticus pointed to a little flower with enormous fangs, that appeared to be rearing back as if to strike.

Another fanged geranium. I told Professor Song there was a near infestation of them around here. Might as well get it and take it along. They have some magical properties..anyone know any spells?

[Dark Storm]

Kip- +2 willpower
Barry- +2 willpower
Sev- +2 willpower

Keep up the good rp's thank you

[Kip]

"I think I saw something in one of our books at lunch today that sounded easy enough," Weatherby muttered, withdrawing his wand from beneath his walking cloak. If he'd given either Cecil or Atticus enough time to react, they could probably have guessed that Weatherby didn't read the section in question very carefully, as he was assuredly too busy pocketing and eating pastries to pay attention. Weatherby really had little idea of what was going to happen, he was just eager to use some magic.

"Alerto Ascendare!"

[removeduser_456323]

John followed Sidious out and wondered what he was up to.

[Pontifex Maximus]

The flower was uprooted immediately, but still alive. Atticus opened his bag and placed it on the ground, producing his own wand.

Wingardium Leviosa

The flower began to levitate. Atticus directed it over the bag and then stopped casting the spell, allowing the flower to fall into the open bag.

How's that for teamwork? None of us got bitten! I fell into a bed of some a few days ago, got a few bites on the ankle for it...

Atticus hiked up his robes, showing the bitemarks on his ankle

Well, that was a nice bonus to find...but I think we should go a little deeper...
