It was hard to believe that the first month f school had come to a close. It still seemed to Nokomis as if she had only been there for a few days. Now, as she pushed her way throught he hall, she couldn't help but think how happy she was to be a second year. Now she knew her way around the castle. She knew most of the hallways, and she knew how to get to her classes. It had been hard her first year. Never knowing where she was and being to shy to ask the older students for help.
For today, her classes were over. Potions was as horrible as ever, and she was glad that they had a quidditch pratice that night. It seemed that she had a natural talent at the sport, which she was thankful for, as she seemed to have limited talent is almsot all other aspects of life.
She walked with short, rather quick steps, lost in her own thoughts, when she saw a fash of yellow from a Hufflepuff uniform before her and she looked up see Kyila. She liked the third year a lot--they were both on the Quidditch team together, and they both had cats that came with them to school. Kyila also had to deal with a dominant shy streak, and a parent who misunderstood magic.
She flashed a smile at her friend, and slowed her stride.
"Hi"
She said, in a very friendly voice it had taken her all month to master

Kiyla had been walking around aimlessly. It was the end of the day and she had Quidditch practice that night.
I am so gonna suck today. What was I thinking trying out for quidditch. Kiyla thought miserably when she heard someone say hi.
Everyone has friends... and well at least i have a few now.. Kiyla thought with a small smile. She turned to see who the person was who said hi when she saw Nokomis and realized Nokomis had said it to her.
"Oh hi!" Kiyla said with a smile. "Where are you off to?"

She shrugged slightly at the question. She didn't really have a destination. It was jsut that classes were over for the day and it wasn't time for quidditch or dinner. She was feeling a little restless. She didn't want to start her homework yet--but who cloud blame her, it was potions after all, and that left her with nothing to offupy her time.
"No where I guess"
she answered, giving Kyila a half smile
"Just trygin to keep busy until quidditch partice."
She realized that she hadn't really talked to Kyila about quidditch. She knew that her friend tended to struggle with her own confidence, and that did not change on a broom..

Kiyla's (K-I-Y-L-A thank you) smile faded when Nokomis brought up Quidditch.
"I'm not going anywhere either. Where do you want to--AHHH !" Kiyla said loudly as someone tripped her. She had dropped all her books on the ground as well as herself. She groaned as she got on her knees and began to pick up her books. She could hear others laughing at her. She was close to tears but she took her time anyway. She looked up to try and see who triped her but they had disappeared.
"Figures this would happen...." Kiyla said angrily as she threw all her books in her bag carelessly.

((OOC: Sorry!! dyslexia at work! lol, and once I get it in my head one way....))
She wished for a fleeting moment that she was brave enough to send a glare at the slytherin boy who had done the deed, but instead, her gaze fell to the floor when Kiyla was picking up her books. She knelt down and picked up one that had slid furter away than the rest and handed it to her friend, tryign to give her a weak smile.
"They will do that to anyone just to get a rise out of them"
She said, hoping it wuld make Kiyla feel better. The other girl always seemed ont he verge of tears, and she hated to see anyone so sad...

Kiyla snorted and picked up teh rest of her books. She gently took the one Nokomis and paused before putting it in her bag. She looked the way the person who tripped her had went and then at all the faces of people laughing at her. She wanted to throw a book at them all, she wanted to run away and hide in a corner and cry but she didn't, she couldn't. She stood up slowly and looked at Nokomis hopeing she didn't look how she felt, insulted, sad, alone.
"Where to?" Kiyla said to Nokomis keeping her eyes locked on her friend.

She found her gaze resting on Kiyla. If she loked at her friend, she didn't hae to face the laughing group either. She wished aain that she was braver, and that she could stand up to them instead of being timid and wanting to disapear.
"Anywhere but here"
She said quietlyto Kiyla, letting her head drop as she pushed through the crowd and tried to hurry down the hallway. She still didn't know where to go, she wanted Quidditch partice to start more than ever. That was the only place she felt at all good at something.

Kiyla followed Nokomis through the crowd trying desperatly to not look at anyone. She might have pushed a few first years down but she didn't care. She needed to get away. Soon the hallways became clearer and soon the hallway became empty. Kiyla who was lost in her own thoughts didn't realize it until she heard only their foots steps echoing in the hall.
"Um... Nokomis, where are we?" Kiyla said worried looking around the hallway seeing portraits of people she had never seen before. They were looking at then dissaproving yet confused.
"I think we're lost...." Kiyla said as she stopped looking around and resting her gaze upon Nokomis.

He own strides slowed and finally stopped as she blue eyes scanned the portirates around her. She didn't remember any of them, and she was normally good at remembering the paintings and where they were--it was the only way that she survived her first year.
She bit her lip as she turned aroud, trygin to remember the turns she had taken to get here, anything that might help her remember where se was, but it seemed pointless. She didn't remember anything and the turns seemed to jumble together in her head.
"I think your right"
She finally answered, giving Kiyla a weak smile.
"I don't remember this part of the castle ever being here..."

Kiyla begin to laugh despite their problem.
"Well, might as well explore..." Kiyla said walking to one of the doors. "I'm closing my eyes and you tell me what you see, okay?" Kiyla said clitching the door knob.
Kiyla closed her eyes and took a deep breathe and turned the door knob.....
"Locked! It's locked!" Kiyla said opening her eyes and turning the knob then letting go. "Well, lets try another." She said moving to another door and turning the door knob... it was opening...

She immediatly took a step back at the sugestion. Look around? Into unknown rooms? But....they didn't know what was inside....they could get into trouble! She hated to be in throuble and spent most of her time aviding it at all costs.
As Kiyla reached for the second door knob though, it seemed inevetable that they woudl be going inside. Her immediate reaction was to cover her eyes. She didn't want to know what was inside. What if it was a troll or something equally big and scarey!
he paused a moment, and after hearing nothing, spead her fingers so she could peer inside what seemed to be a rather large, rather dark, empty room.
She bit her lip for a moment, just waiting for something to fly out at them.
"It....it looks safe"
She said to Kiyla, through she still stumbled over the words

Kiyla opened her eyes to see a dark room. She was disappointed she wanted to see something interesting.
She looked at Nokomis to see her peeking under covered eyes.
"Where's your since of adventure? LEts try another until we get something interesting." Kiyla said as she walked across the hall to another room. She she reachecd for a door knob a voice said, "Wouldn't open that one if I was you girly."
Kiyla turned around to see a portrait of a fairy. "All the more reason to open it!" Kiyla said with a sly smile. She quickly opened the door to see a dark room.
"What's so scary about a.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kiyla said as she saw a troll. She quickly closed the door and looked up to see the fairy laughing hysterically.
"Ha ha... it wasn't scared..." Kiyla said her voice shaking slightly. She calmed herself down and chose another door. She opened it while looking at Nokomis hoopeing it wasn't another troll. "DO you see anything?" Kiyla asked Nokomis.

She didn't think anyone had ever screamed louder in their entire lives than she did when she saw that Troll. She had never actually seen one in real life, and she had not exactly wanted too when she saw the lare, angrey looking creature staring at them.
She stood in the middle of the hall her breath so fast she could barely keep up. It took her a moment to regai herself, before she noticed that Kiyla was opening another door. Nokomis would have been happier to just turn around an try and find there way back to their nice safe common room.
She had covered her eyes again, but after a moment of silence, she opened them again. This room was dark too, but she could see stacks of things inside. It looked like....books....and there seemed to be...Brooms against the back wall.
"There are things inside....but nothing alive"
she cold Kiyla

"Do you want to check it out or do you want to try and find our way back?" Kiyla asked Nokomis as she looked into he room. She looked back at Nokomis and saw that she looked very uncomfortable.
I guess someone doesn't have a sense of mischief... Kiyla thought with a sigh as she closed the door.

She was biting her lip as Kyila closed the door. She hated to disapoint anyone. And so far they hand't been caught. Maybe this wans't a restricted hall...maybe it was okay that they were here.
"Well....that room looked pretty safe...maybe we could look around just this one and then head back?"

Kiyla knew that she made Nokomis feel bad.
"look we don't have to if you don't want to." Kiyla said as she walked away from the door, "I just wanted to do a little something different you know?"
Kiyla looked at the pictures at the wall who were smirking at them.
"Lost are yeh?" A picture of a pirate said.
"No of course not... we just can't figure out exactly where we are..." Kiyla said nervously looking around once more. The pirate lughed and Kiyla glared at him.

She spun around to face the painting, her eyes the size of bludgers as they focused on the pirate. She hadn't even noticed he was there. She bit her lip a little harder, and grabbed Kiyla's arm. She wished more than anything to be safe and sound in the Hufflepuff common room.
"Were...N..N...not L..lost..."
She stumbled, trying to follow Kiyla's lead in the statement.

Kiyla felt Nokomis grab her arm and she decided it was time for them to leave.
"Well thanks for the help, "maty" but I think we can handle it from here." Kiyla said with a smirk as she walked back towards the way they had hopefully came.
"I sure hope i was right for chosing this way..." Kiyla said nervously as she led Nokomis around th corner. They had been walking for a while when Kiyla stopped abroptly.
"Um... Nokomis... I dont think this is the right way..." Kiyla said as she looked ahead of her. She saw a picture of a knight. She looked around nervously and saw a door. She ran to it and stopped on front of it.
"Should I?" Kiyla said to Nokomis.

She was biting her lip again, looking at the door knob them down the hall again. She was compleatly lost. She had never been down his hall before, and she had no idea how to get out again. She looked over at Kiyla, to seemed to be the braver of the two of them in this moment at least, and nodded.
"I don't know what else to do"

Kiyla shrugged and opened the door. She saw a classroom.
"Hey does this familar to you?" Kiyla asked Nokomis as she stepping gingerly into the room.
