A Cowboy in Hogsmeade

[stryderstalk]

Stryder snuck out of the ranch using the network in order to escape his cousin. They had just gotten in a fight and she was driving him crazy. He was tempted to go anywhere but when he threw down the floo powder the first thing that popped out of his mouth was Hogsmeade. Stryder was surprised to find himself there, he didn't actually remember saying Hogsmeade but he obviously did. The sight of people walking around calmed Stryder down immediatly. He loved Hogsmeade, he just hoped that his cousin wouldn't storm off after him.

Stryder had arrived next to the Three Broomsticks but didn't really feel like going inside, even though he was thirsty and a butterbeer sounded marvelous. Stryder put his hand in his pockets and realized that he was wearing his wranglers, in which he didn't keep his money in because it could fall out when he's riding. Great I have no money and I'm dressed like a cowboy in the middle of Hogsmeade.Stryder thought to himself as he stopped to think about what he would do.

Not many of Stryder's friends have seen him in his 'normal' clothes because he still isn't sure what their reaction would be. There aren't that many pureblood cowboys walking around Hogwarts, let alone Hogsmeade. Stryder took his cowboy hat off and walked past the welcoming place. He wasn't sure where he was going to go but he wanted to get his mind off his cousin Brigitte and not be found if she went looking for him.

He walked down the street getting a few stares from people. They must think I'm a muggle. He thought as he quickly walked past Madam Puddifoot's. He didn't want any Slytherins seeing him like this. Stryder then realized that he didn't even have his wand with him. If he ran into anyone dangerous he would be dead for sure. To think that his stupid cousin got him in his situation. Stryder got even madder and stormed by walking towards the Hogs Head. He then realized that Hogs Head wasn't the best place to be either.

"Bloody Hell, I hate Brigitte so much!" Stryder muttered under his breathe as he turned around in another circle trying to figure out where he would go and what he would do.

Storm sat in her drive way, not walking up and and down her street because she was still healing from when she got tripped by Reggie. Storm saw Pamela riding her bike toward her. "Oh great.." Storm muttered while plugging her ears. Pamela liked to scream in her ears. Pamela stopped in front of Storm and sat there. Storm unplugged her ears, thinking it was safe. "Hi Stupid Storm!" Pamela screamed in her ear. "Oh god why do you have to scream that in my ear?" Storm asked a little loudly because she could barely hear. Pamela breathed a deep breath and Storm knew she was getting ready for a loud scream. Storm ran inside and slammed her french door hard. "Storm, you almost broke the glass! Why did you do that?" Savannah asked while washing dishes. Pamela screamed and Storm pointed to her through the glass. "That's why." Storm said while walking to the couch.

Storm looked on her favorite couch and saw a blonde headed wizard. "Who's this?" Storm asked Savannah. "Oh, that's a friend I ran into today. His name is Darren." Savannah said while sitting next to him. "My goodness child what happened to you left cheek?" Darren asked while taking out his wand. He healed it for her. "Thanks!" Storm said. She just remembered that she left her wallet outside. "Oh bloody he.. I mean heck." Storm said while running outside. Storm had to watch what she said in her house. She looked on the driveway and it was gone. She looked next door and saw Reggie playing catch with it. Storm ran over her yard to get it. Reggie walked on to his driveway and stopped. "Give that back!" Storm said loudly while trying to grab it. "Fine, you want it... Guys, over here!" Reggie said while you boys ran to him. "If you want it, you're going to go through us." Reggie said while crossing his arms.

Storm tried to run after it, but got hit in the eye. She ducked after a punch almost hit her. Reggie went behind her and hit her in the head. Storm's world went black. She woke up on her bed with ice on the back of her head, and Savannah looking at her. "To bad Darren left, he could have heal your cut." Savannah said while looking at Storm. Looked at her nightstand and saw her wallet. "So you got my wallet, where did Reggie go?" Stormed asked while sitting up. She felt the back off her head and felt bandages. Storm walked to the bathroom and saw the bandage around her whole head. Savannah walked into the bathroom. " I told his mother what he has been doing to you and he got sent to boot camp. and Pamela's mother was there and I told her about the past few years, and she got sent to a private school." Savannah said while walking away.

"Woo hoo!" Storm said while dancing a victory dance it the hall way. Storm walked down stairs and sat on the couch. "Storm, I'm going to drop you off at Hogsmeade because I have to go to a meeting. I don't want you home alone, there's been a crime spree around here lately. I'll pick you back up at 6:00." Savannah said while going outside. Storm followed. They got in the car and drove for about a half hour until the reached the gates. "Have fun." Savannah said and drove off. Storm walked through the Heavily guarded gates. She was in Hogsmeade now. She walked around and saw a boy dressed weird. Like a Cowboy. Storm walked over to him. "What happened to you?" Storm asked while looking at him.

((Hope you don't mind me dropping in))

Instead of standing in the middle of the street, Stryder decided to sit at one of the benches that was in front of "Catalina's Cubby." Stryder rested his head in his arms and clutched onto his hair. It was getting pretty long, it had been a while since he had cut it and he didn't particularly want to cut it but he didn't want it too long either. Stryder was so angry at his cousin he didn't even know what to do. He wanted to leave Hogsmeade but at the same time he wanted to stay. Hogsmeade calmed him down a lot because he could remember all the fun times he had with his friends. He didn't want to go anywhere else right now, but at the same time he didn't want to be there.

Stryder thought about what his cousin had said about him. She said she wished he had never come and that he had stayed with his father. Stryder knew that she didn't mean it but sometimes he wondered whether she did mind him there. I mean all of sudden her long lost cousin is found and living with her. Stryder knew that Brigitte liked him but after a while she got on his nerves and he got on hers. Stryder wondered a lot whether the Butlers really wanted him there or not. He didn't belong anywhere, and Brigitte reminded him of that tonight.

The Gryffindor was calmer and looked up to see a girl walking towards him with a confused face. Stryder had never seen her before, least he didnt' think he had. He figured she saw something at "Catalina's", therefore Stryder was surprised when she walked straight to him and asked what had happend. Stryder raised his eyebrows at her. What does she mean what happend? He asked to himself until he realized once more that he was wearing his cowboy clothes.

"Oh I just got kicked out of a costume party. They thought I was a muggle."

Stryder smiled at the girl, trying to figure out if she would believe him or not. Stryder wondered whether she went to Hogwarts or not, she must have. The girl didn't look that much older than Stryder, maybe even his age, he hadn't seen her in his classes though and she didn't have an accent meaning that she didn't go to Beauxbatons or Durmstrang. He looked over the girl once more and saw a bandage around her head.

"Did you get kicked out of the party too?"

Stryder said while looking over the bandage around her head. He was implying that she was a mummy at the so called party that he supposidely went to. He wondered if there actually was a party somewhere, it was more likely though that for some reason this girl got hurt, and by the looks of it badly.


(( Not at all ;D ))
