WHO: Lavender Brown and Professor McGonagall WHERE: The Hogwarts grounds WHEN: October 30. Late evening. WHY: Lav is attempting to sneak out to go see Cormac, but gets caught. RATING: Low. A little swearing. STATUS: In progress and closed to all but Lav and McG!
Deciding to tempt fate and sneak out of the castle to go see Cormac, Lavender waited till everyone was asleep, dressed in all black and snuck out of the common room, down to the main door of the school and then out onto the grounds. She quickly and quietly ran toward the gates of Hogsmeade. Her plan was to get into the all Wizarding Village, apparate to Cormac's house, spend about twenty minutes there so she could see him, but also to see if she could get away with sneaking out of the school. She then would sneak back in, go to bed and act like nothing happened. If she got away with it, she'd try it again the next time he had a game. She was of age. She didn't think it should be against the rules to leave as long as she was there for all of her classes and got all of her work done. She was an adult by Wizarding standards.
Just as Lavender was crossing past Hagrid's hut, she saw a light behind her. "Fuck," she muttered and ducked behind a large pine tree, hoping she wasn't getting caught before she even had a chance to leave.
