Yori watched with relief as the red cap was shot in the air before being shot by Dunstable's reducto. The red cap was shot out of the pathway, down into the dark depths of the Forbidden Forest. The hufflepuff couldn't help remembering the rather destructive nature of reducto, and was rather happy to have it off of her. If anything, for the fact that she wasn't sure if she could handle having the dwarf's blood all over her from what can potentially be a very, very messy spell. She had never been that good with blood, considering what it represented. With that in mind, she decided not to look at her calf, doing her best to ignore the throbbing as Dun took a hold of her.
She made sure to be careful as she stood to her feet, keeping a certain amount of weight off that leg. ”... Its not bad, is it?” the hufflepuff hesitated slightly before asking, ”I don't want to look at it.” They didn't really have time to check on it now though, and she sure as hell wasn't going to slow them down with both of their close ones still trapped. Hoping of such, she placed more weight on the leg. Right away, the stinging grew more intense, but it was bearable. The Japanese girl resisted the urge to look down at it, only giving a slight wince. ”Yeah,” she breathed out, ”I'll be fine. We should get going.” For now anyway. She would get the leg checked out with the nurse afterward, if it was necessary. ”Thanks, Dun,” Yori passed a smile before continuing down the path in a job, letting herself get used to the slight sting first.
It only seemed like a moment later before something caught her eye among the trees, a bit of brown hair and skin. Once again, she slowed to a stop, a little taken aback by the brief sight. ”I think I found something!” the Japanese girl called over to the fellow hufflepuff. She began to move off the path a bit, stepping closer to confirm that it was a human, but more importantly, she recognized who it was.
”Jos!” Yori exclaimed, relieved to see her friend. Without a second thought, she ran over to her friend, overjoyed to see the older student unharmed and what looked to be resting peacefully. She supposed she shouldn't be all that surprised to see that, but it was comforting either way. They would need to get the ropes off of her, but the hufflepuff didn't want to cut the prefect away only to have fall on the ground. It seemed a bit... rude honestly. Moving toward her friend, she grabbed Jos's shoulders, calling out, ”Hey, Jos! Wake up!”

Finally the damn thing was gone. Finallt their spells had worked on it. It had been too confused and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Scorp had a sinking feeling that they were in last, a position he didnt want to be in and one that hopefully they could make up in the rest of the task. They were meant to win this not anyone else. They were slytherins god damn it, it was in their nature to win at any cost.
Glancing at Theia, he wondered if she felt the same.
"We need to push on harder and faster," he spoke as he flew up to her. How far in front were the other teams and if by some miracle they werent last, how far was the team or teams behind them. Without another word to Theia he took off. Theia would catch up to him soon enough, but there was no way he was going to allow Al and Rose to be in the forest more than they had to. What would happen to them if both he and Theia couldnt carry on? A shiver ran down his back. He would not think like that, he and Theia were going to rescue them and nothing was going to stop that. Hinder yes but that was all.

 everything in the forest now seemed to put jaycen on edge. the sound of birds far off in the trees, wind rustling through the branches, it all made jaycen tense even more. he was alone, no partner to watch his back, and if something were to happen to him now ravenclaw would essentially be out of the running for the entire tournament, not just this task. he had to be constantly aware, constantly on guard... nothing could catch him unaware like whatever creature it was attacked claire had hit her.
he was expecting another creature to come out of nowhere, another monster to 'battle', but instead there was nothing. strange peace other than his jittery nerves... and then he saw a break in the trees far ahead. they thinned out, he could see a small clearing and a figure tied to a tree, sitting down with their back leaning against the trunk... the champion sped up his pace even more, breaking through the treeline, and then froze for a split second.
the first thing he felt, seeing the blonde young woman against the tree, was worry. she was his head student partner, after all. a member of his quidditch team... even if she had been a pain in his ass before this year, she was on his team, that was reason for him to worry about her being out here in the cold with the beasts prowling around. his worry did run deeper than just a friendly concern, but jayce was still rather in denial about that. in fact, he didn't even want to believe she was his hostage, even if he knew she had to be...okay... so claire and raychel were friends. ...very, very, good friends that he had never seen interact at all, apparently... he refused to let himself think that she was his 'loved one' at the moment, because there was the word 'love' in that title, and surely none existed between himself and raychel.
regaining control of his limbs he quickly moved towards the tree, knowing that no more time could be wasted on shock at the moment, not with the task going on. "raychel," he called, but there wasn't even a stirring from the girl. she was probably under some sort of spell... one that would hopefully be lifted when she was free from her bindings, which was what jayce set out to accomplish. he whipped out his wand and moved behind the tree, muttering a quick spell to slice the ropes open without any danger of hitting the head girl, and watched as the ropes fell to the ground around her. hoping that that was the key to getting her out of the spell that kept her still, he moved back in front of the blonde haired seeker, eyes filled with concern even if he didn't especially want to feel it at the moment. "hey, raych? rise and shine."

Her eyes fluttered open, unfocused and disorientated. Where was she, how did she get here? She could make out something loose around her, ropes. She blinked, letting her vision focus better. She had been asked to see the headmaster with seven other students, he had said something about them being a vital part of the next task and before he could say any more, they were out. Had they cast a spell to make them all black out, or had they slipped them a sleeping potion. How long had she been out for, glancing up, she could see a sliver of blue sky. A whole day? It had been night when the headmaster had the talking to the eight. Her ears felt like they were stuffed with cotton but there was no mistaking his voice, Jaycen. So where was Claire, or was this task for individuals only.
She glanced up at Jaycen trying to figure out how exactly she was vital for this task. Just because she and Jaycen had gone to the Yule Ball together didnt mean they were...well together and Claire, well she didnt exactly like the girl, she seemed too sweet for her liking.
"Where's Claire?" was the first words that came out of her mouth as she stood, using the tree to lean against as she patted her pockets. Shit, she cursed.
"The headmaster took my wand," panic was rising in her throat. There was no sight of Claire and she was wandless which meant she had to rely on Jaycen and his wand.

"where's claire?" there was a pause as she searched her pockets and then "the headmaster took my wand,". of course he had... raychel wasn't a part of the task as anything more than a motivator. it'd be unfair to have her able to help him against any creatures they might encounter, even with his partner gone. "just stick close to me. i'll look after you." he paused, realizing how pathetically cheesy that might have sounded, even though it hadn't been intended in nearly that way. maybe he was just too paranoid of sounding like a fool around her that everything he said did sound idiotic to him. "er, there's not too much farther to go. we're halfway, or almost halfway, done the task, anyway."
it was a good thing that raychel's first comment was about claire, because if it had been 'what's going on?' or 'what am i doing here?' jayce wouldn't know how he was supposed to respond. after all, it was hard to explain to someone that they were stuck in the middle of a freezing forest because someone made the mistake of thinking they were your 'loved one'. that was a bit too awkward of a conversation for his liking, especially in the middle of a tournament task. claire's whereabouts, though, was a subject he could much more easily address, though with a small worried frown. "she... she was attacked. just a few minutes ago, actually, and... she wasn't waking up. it didn't look good, so i had to summon the healers and leave her behind. i guess it's just me and, well, kind of you and her lov- er, 'hostage' for the rest of the task. once we find them, that is."
in order to find the mysterious other loved one, though, they had to get moving. "if you're ready soon, we should probably get going... i don't know where the other teams stand right now, but we can't win if we don't move." jaycen took a step back, scanning his eyes over raychel to see if there was anything of her appearance he'd missed, some sort of a clue to help with the task or anything (you could never be too careful and observant), but found nothing. instead he noted that, other than her normal school robes, she wasn't wearing anything special to protect her from the cold, and it was the end of january... definitely freezing. jayce had been running the entire task, blood keeping his body warm, so he didn't notice the cool temperatures. without even thinking, really, he unzipped his black jacket, revealing a navy sweater underneath, and held it out to raychel with a small smile. "can't 'save' you just to have you freeze to death on me, can i?" he took another step back in the direction that they should head off in, pulling down the sleeves of his sweater to cover more of his arms as he waited for her to be ready to go.

"just stick close to me. i'll look after you." that didn't exactly install confidence in her. This was Jaycen, the one who she fought with since day one. "er, there's not too much farther to go. we're halfway, or almost halfway, done the task, anyway." since their truce, Jaycen has been a completely different person, so she decided to take her chance with him, besides he was the one with the wand. Finally he answered her question.
"she... she was attacked. just a few minutes ago, actually, and... she wasn't waking up. it didn't look good, so i had to summon the healers and leave her behind. i guess it's just me and, well, kind of you and her lov- er, 'hostage' for the rest of the task. once we find them, that is." oh...oh was all she could think. Although she didn't particularly like Claire it didn't mean she wishes anything bad like that to happen to her. Ravenclaw was down a champion, it wasn't a good thought.
"I hope she's ok," and she meant it.
Yes he was right, they needed to get going. They couldnt afford to waste time and she didnt want to be the reason why ravenclaw came in last. She stood and that was when the cold hit. They must have put a warming charm on her that disappeared after she moved. Wrapping her arms around her, she didn't dare complain. As soon as she started moving she'd warm up, hopefully. Before she could take another step, Jaycen was holding his jacket out to her. She smiled, a small chuckle escaping her mouth.
"Thanks," she spoke, taking the jacket and putting it on. Although it was a little big on her, she was grateful. It was still warm from when he had it on.
"ok which way?" she asked as she zipped the jacket up, letting him know she was ready to follow him.

James wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but hopefully they could at least make it past whatever obstacles they needed to so they could continue their quest. for the holy grail As Alaya was starting to head down the path with him, and that's when they found the people they cared about most knocked out. For James, it was his best friend, Frank Longbottom, but that hadn't boded well with some apparently as his sister shunned him even more for that. Sadly, this wasn't going to work out at all, but he wondered if he should just give up entirely on forming a relationship with his younger sister again.
Even though, he always saw her, but never really talked to her as if she was just a wisp on the wind. Yes, it was how he viewed her at the moment, but being busy with school, as well as all the other needed necessities to become what he wanted wasn't helping his situation at all. Hmm, he had to make a choice now, and they both had to decide if they wanted to save one or the other first. Looking to Alaya he soon just let her get on with it since he really didn't want to get to his partner just yet as they still had a ways to go. "Go ahead and save who's close to you Alaya," James said to Alaya at that very moment.

Raychel stuck close to Jaycen. She forced herself to put some trust in him. The forest was dark and cold, how was it possible for anyone to trek through it. She knew that answer though, the champions were motivated. She stole a quick glance at Jaycen before tearing her eyes away just as quick. He was simply being nice to her, possibly because they were being watched by the other students. How are they being watched exactly, she questioned herself. Looking up, she couldnt find any device following them and there was nothing around them that seemed unnatural in the forest. It was a very good question she thought.
The head girl felt like she was being watched by something just lurking in the trees. A shiver ran down her spine as she took a step closer to Jaycen, her head whipping around, trying to figure out what had her so creeped out. If only she had her wand she would not need to rely so much on Jaycen. Stupid damn headmaster, there was no way she was going to completely trust that man again. He had deceived her and she did not like it.
Something in her mind told her to look behind and that was when all hell broke loose in her head. She should not have looked but she couldnt help it. The girl stopped and turned to look at the thing on the ground. Taking a step closer she got a better look at it and her legs gave way. Pressure behind her eyes built up. Her younger sister was there, looking as sick and unhealthy as Claire had before she passed away. No, she couldnt let her sister go the same way but she didnt have her wand on her, there was nothing she could do. A tear slid down her cheek as she watched her sister die in front of her and then the flood started. She couldnt stop crying, it was something she didnt wish to have happen to the rest of her family and on top of that she felt helpless. She absolutely hated that feeling. Somehow the image had changed without her knowing and there was her mother.
"Mum," she choked on the word, watching again as one of her family members died in front of her. Squeezing her eyes shut, she couldnt bear to see it happen to her father or to anyone else.

jaycen turned and began to lead raychel through the forest along the little path he'd been on before. it had proved a pretty good course for him so far... he could only hope he wasn't going in the complete opposite direction of where claire's hostage was tied. once they found him, or her, they could get out of the forest and they'd be done. just like that, hopefully a ravenclaw victory even with them being one champion down. wouldn't that be great?
when on the move, though, there wasn't much conversation. with claire that had been fine, but now jaycen had seen who his hostage was, she was running along behind him, and it was impossible to think of, well, anything else without something to distract him. why raychel? of all the people he associated with in his life... why the infuriating blonde? they were partners. nothing more. the yule ball had been a fluke of their good moods and desperation to have dates. their 'friendship' this year was the result of a truce. his worry when he'd seen her tied to the tree... that was harder to explain. much. much. harder. you worried about the people you cared about... but he didn't care about raychel, so how did that make any sense at all?
he glanced behind him for raychel far more often than he had checked up on claire. he told himself that this was because of what had happened to claire, refusing to believe that it might be because he was more concerned for her than he had been for his own champion partner. and then, suddenly, when he looked behind him she wasn't there. the head boy instantly froze and looked around a twist in his path where he saw the blonde on her knees on the cold forest floor.
"raychel-" there was a shape behind her, he noticed. or rather, in front of her. he made his way back towards her, the body on the ground becoming clearer to him, and it made his breath catch in his throat for a moment. who was it? how had he missed the dying figure when he would have passed it the first time? raychel was a wreck on the ground a feet from him as the life left the figure's eyes, and he was at a loss for words, completely confused and horrified... and then the younger girl, who he now realized was a student in slytherin though the illness or whatever had taken her 'life' had left her barely recognizable, shifted into an older woman apparently suffering the same fate... "riddikulus!" the head boy hissed, pointing his wand at the thing as he momentarily forgot, his spell would likely not work, it hadn't been his boggart to cast away... he reached down to raychel's shoulder, shaking her gently, not noticing if the thing disappeared or not. "hey, deep breaths, raych. it's not real. it was just a boggart. they're safe."
he glanced up again, away from her, and found that the figure on the ground had shifted. it was gone, and in its place was something very familiar to the head boy. an old wooden trunk, dusty from years of sitting in an attic. though he wasn't aware of it, the color drained from the head boy's face as he stared at the worn trunk, his mind instantly flooded with feelings like terror, suffocation, panic, desperation, the smell of the pine wood, the heat of the air inside the tiny trunk giving him minimal oxygen to breath in, and the echoing sound of his screams bouncing off of the thick trunk's lining right back to him from ten years ago when he was stuck in it for over four hours. in present time he stood transfixed, staring at the box as it shook slightly, and though no sound came from it he could perfectly envision his small fists beating at the lid from within, could perfectly head the muffled sound of his cries that no one else in his family had heard... trapped in the tormenting memory that he blamed as the single reason he could still barely handle riding on the hogwart's express, he wasn't even aware of lifting his wand and pointing it at the thing, though with far less confidence than he'd had when it was raychel's boggart instead of his, and his voice shook ever so slightly as he cast the spell: "r-riddikulus."

it seemed like they'd finally done it now. the thing quickly grew confused with attempting to scare both people at once, trying to merge too scary things together and not really succeeding, soon the whole thing just gave up and her and scorp had done it. theia breathed out if only for a moment, for she knew that small battle had cost them a lot of time. who knew how far behind they were now and what houses had pushed ahead. sure they may have gotten stuck at something too but you couldn't afford to think like this in this kind of thing. "We need to push on harder and faster,"
theia rolled her eyes. "thanks captain obvious." she muttered, in no mood to play nice whether he was her team mate or not. without another word she focused upon that tigress within her and transformed back into her animagus shape, a little tired after that fight but no less ready to find albus ...and whoeever was playing on scorps mind. she growled low and dug her paws into the compact dirt to push off into a run, noting scorp had flown off before her and she rolled her chocolate eyes and pushed on after him, not finding it hard to keep up.
it was lucky she had this form, her senses where a heck of a lot better like this and she could pick up the sounds and scents of things she wouldn't be able to normally...like the sound of someone else's breathing not too far and she suddenly stopped, letting loose a loud growl to catch scorpius' attention. she listened harder, turning her head to the right where it was coming from, a set of breathing, but only one. if it was another team it would have been more laboured and there would have been two sets. this had to be a loved one... but would it be one of theirs? she took a deep breath, following a faint trail of scent that was familiar to her though she wasn't often in this form, and suddenly she entered a clearing to find albus. he wasn't far, only a few metres away, tied up but seemingly unharmed. she whimpered slightly at the sight of him and bounded forward, not even pausing to grab the ropes between her powerful jaws and biting them til he was free, only then did she regain the thought to change back to herself and she reached to touch albus' cheek. "al?"
ooc , just to make this post easier i just said it was albus they found first? i was guessing it didn't really matter unless you want to change it kara : )

He didn’t know how long he had been sleeping for. It could’ve been hours, it could’ve been days. He wasn’t sure, but he knew it was highly unlikely that he would be sleeping for days… All he knew was that the next thing he heard was a soft “Al…” coming from the lips he loved as well as a soft touch upon his cheek. He opened his eyes slowly. It felt strange opening them after having them closed for so long. “Theia…? |

 Her head ached. Jos swam through the murkiness of her memories in hopes of remembering why. But for the time being her memories refused to cooperate. Somewhere out there, she could hear someone call her name... and shaking her? She frowned slightly at the movement. It did absolutely nothing to help with her headache at all. This absolutely would not do at all. With some amount of difficulty, the Hufflepuff opened her eyes to see her concerned and harried friend. “Yori?” She glanced about in confusion. “Dunstable?” Now she was truly confused. It wasn’t that she disliked Dunstable by any means. After all, how could she dislike someone who watched Yori’s back in the tournament tasks? But why would he be there while Yori was shaking her awake? She felt like her brain was trying to move through some sort of sludge. "What's going on?" Jos was still trying to pick through her memories to figure out when she saw her surroundings. Dark and tall ominous trees surrounded her. This hardly seemed like a place where she would simply sit down and take a nap.
Jos blushed as soon as she saw that she was tied up to one of those trees. “Could you possibly untie me?” The Hufflepuff felt herself turning even redder as she made the request. Finally, her brain produced with a memory of being called up to the Headmaster’s office. She recalled being quite nervous of the fact. She also recalled that she was not the only student called up to the office, a seemingly random array of students were called. The task! She recalled the Headmaster mentioning something about the task. Now in retrospect, perhaps those students weren’t so random after all. If she were any indication, they had called up a student who was close to a champion. Jos shook her head in an attempt to clear her mind. Evidently, a sleep potion of some sort was administered shortly after since she could remember much after that.
Glancing about nervously in an attempt to distract herself from her rather embarrassing position, Jos was trying desperately to not think about what insects and other such disgusting things have crawled on or around her while she slept in an unnatural sleep. After this, she was going to take a very long bath. Her attempts to distract herself led her to see the nasty gash on her young friend’s leg. “Oh Yori...” she murmured with concern under her breath. However, knowing that Yori disliked the sight of blood, Jos refrained from commenting further. Unable to keep watching her wound, Jos looked away again and she thought she saw something, moving in the larger undergrowth of the forest. Frowning, Jos wasn’t sure if it was just her imagining things since she was a bit jumpy. But with all these icky creatures (insects) running around, could she really be blamed for that? After all, they are quite disgusting and creepy..

Yori breathed a sigh of relief once Jos opened her eyes, knowing that the hufflepuff was okay, if a bit disorientated. She didn't have to worry about how her friend was faring, and how much time they had left before something else found her. Of course, they weren't done either. Whoever was Dunstable's loved was still in the far reaches of the Forbidden Forest, but they were getting closer to finishing the task. With a large smile, she embraced her friend loosely. ”Oh thank god you're okay,” she exclaimed. Though she wasn't sure how much help it would be, the Japanese girl was grateful to have another calm voice with them.
”Its the second task,” Yori began to explain as she released the brunette and circled the tree as to avoid hurting the older girl when tearing the ropes. ”The professors put you out here for us to find.” That was the simplest explanation she could think of anyway. ”We still have one more to find, and then we'll get safe. Just um...” She almost had to bite a cheeky grin, silly as it was. Yori never thought she would be saying this to the prefect. ”We'll protect you.” At the question on untying her, she nodded, pointing her wand at the ropes. ”Diffindo!” Just as she hoped, the ropes tore apart, luckily freeing the fellow hufflepuff from the tree.
They would likely need to get going soon. She didn't really know where the other champions stood in terms of the race, but she didn't want to stick around for much longer. They still needed to get Dunstable's loved one, and she didn't want to let the leg wound get infected (though she supposed there was a healing spell for that-- probably). Considering how confused her friend seemed to be, she'd probably like to get out of there shortly as well. ”Should we get back on the path, or try another direction?” Yori asked her fellow champion, hobbling back next to Jos. It was then she spotted movement in the trees. Oh, this wasn't good.
It hadn't been but a moment later when the creature had emerged from the bushes, recognizing the predatory body of the lion. Right away, she paled. Though she was well aware of the sphinx's nature and that so long as they answered the riddle correctly, they would be able to freely go, if they answered wrong, she wasn't in any condition to outrun an animal like it. She supposed she could distract the thing long enough for Jos and Dunstable to get away, but she really would rather not. Though the hufflepuff took enjoyment in academic study, she hadn't really been one for riddles. Hopefully, it was one the three of them could figure out.

It was good to know that he was safe. They had a bit of an issue at the begining with the pixies but the sphinx wasn't too hard and they got by fairly quickly, now they had one of the two loved ones. Their task was halfway over with and they were catching up. There was a chance that they would be at first place. Well as long as they weren't last again she would be satisfied. There was only so much of loosing that one person could take. Right now they were continuing on working on finishing the task.
The trees were so calming. It helped her nerves from going over board. She wondered how the other champions were fairing in the task so far. She didn't think about it too much. No, this was the time to worry about what could happen to the group. There were more creatures out there that they needed to worry about. Almost as soon as she thought about it a creature started to take for in front of her. Bogart. It was a blasted bogart of all creatures. There were a couple of forms that it could take and the one she did not want it to take, the full moon. It was a genetic fear that basically all werewolves.
This time however the blasted creature took on a deeper fear that usual. a cloaked figure stood before her. Blood dripped from the extra long sleeves. She was glad that no one could see the face of the creature. She looked directly at it, at it's forest green wolfish eyes. Her wand was out and she showed no emotion as her heat raced. "Rriddikulus" Her voiced wavered and she was unsure if the spell would work. It was annoying that her voice betrayed what she was really feeling. She did know that the others would not know what the fear was and she didn't want them too. She just hoped the spell worked.

Theia had bounced on ahead of him after growling at him. Had she smelt one of their loved ones and if so who? He took off after her, hoping...praying that it was one and not another creature that was luring Theia into some trap. She disappeared ahead of him, but he soon found out why.
It was indeed a loved one. His best friend Al, but it wasnt his loved one. That was evident with how Theia had run up to him. He hung back, allowing the two to have a moment. He was glad Al was safe with no creatures threatening him but where was his loved one, where was Rose? They couldnt waste too much time here, not with his redheaded gryffindor still out there somewhere; they had to go.
Would Theia have Al ride on her back, or would she want him to share his broom? He didnt mind, he just wanted to hurry up and go, too much time was being wasted.
"In the forbbiden forest, the second task," he answered Al's question as he neared them, "and we must go now." He looked at Theia, an impatient look silently telling her to hurry up and change back into the tiger.
"You going to ride or fly? be warned if you choose to ride on her back, its quiet bumpy." Oh he remembered the ride from the last task, her constant stopping, the bumpiness of it all, perhaps she would try and make it a smoother ride for Al.

Soon they had come upon a tree where a hufflepuff he only recognized because she hung around with Yori. “Hey Josceline,” he said with a light smile as Yori released her from the tree. “Yeah we’ll make sure to not let anything happen to you, we just gotta find one more person and then we can head out,” he said lightly, keeping his wand held out, you never know when something might show up.
“Should we get back on the path, or try another direction?” Dunstable looked out at the path, it probably was best that they continued to followed it, it seemed like best idea after all. “Let’s stick to the path,” he said just as something walked out into the path, a sphinx.
“So you chose to stick to the path, well first you must answer my riddle.” the sphinx spoke with a light smile. “What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats?” Dunstbale stopped and looked at the Sphinx. Riddles… He was never really good at them. He turned to look at Yori, “Any idea?” he asked her lightly.[style] |

everyone was probably laughing at him. that is, if they were able to see the encounter with the boggart. the bloody head boy, champion, beater, he was supposed to be strong and somehow he was terrified of a little wooden chest? it probably seemed so pathetic to everyone else, but that chest was the reason jaycen dreaded going to and from hogwarts, why he couldn't stand being in small rooms, why he was so uncomfortable in any room without a window... maybe he should have a more noble fear. his family dying, his friends in pain, or something more understandable to the majority of hogwarts like death or fire or, hell, even spiders. no, instead jayce was terrified of a bloody box. didn't he feel brave now.
as he watched, though, the box disappeared. it condensed into a colorful wooden box, and as he watched the top of it spring open to reveal a laughing clown's head that bounced back and forth. a jack in the box. the head boy found himself grinning, chuckling slightly. thank god that had worked... he didn't want to be stuck around the boggart any longer.
"hey, you okay?" he asked, turning back to the head girl, hoping she hadn't noticed how much the chest had bugged him, or at least hadn't cared. he was suddenly embarrassed again, and turned away to face the path they should be taken to the next hostage so that they could finish this task. "we should keep going."
