WARNINGS/RATING/STATUS: Gay kissage!/PG13/Ongoing




Stuffing the leg of her jeans into her boot, Audrey grabbed her hair pin and swept her hair back behind one ear. She didn't know why she was so nervous about meeting Sam again. They'd had loads of fun last time, and although Sam had kissed her (her first kiss, too!) things hadn't been awkward at all in Herbology since. Which was good. Very good, in fact, because Aud quite liked Sam.

She blushed slightly as she thought of the dream she'd had the other night that the Gryffindor had starred in and shook her head, straightening her shirt and sneaking out of the dorm. For some reason, she didn't want to share Sam with Evie. Normally she would've come running back to the dorm and spilled everything to her best friend the second she saw her, but with Sam, Audrey wanted to have something all her own, a little secret she could hold onto.

Making her way downstairs and outside, Aud took a deep breath of the cool night air and set across the grounds. She'd left almost immediately after Sam had invited her and so took the long way down to the lake, not wanting to seem too eager. The Forest seemed especially dark tonight and Audrey gave a little shiver that had nothing to do with the chill in the air. She'd heard loads of stories about the Forbidden Forest and while most of them were probably not true, or gross exaggerations, there was a reason it was called the Forbidden Forest and not the Really Really Welcoming Forest.

Audrey made to veer away from the edge of the trees when something caught her eye, a brighter spot on the ground. She crossed towards it, thinking it was probably someone's homework, but the parchment she picked up was old and covered in a star chart far more detailed than anything she'd seen done by a student. Brows furrowed, Audrey studied the parchment, her eye caught by the Latin underneath the stars.

She wasn't very good at Latin and it took her a few moments to pick out enough words to try and make sense of what was written. It looked like something about a secret coming to light and... "Diripio unus vos habitum carus..." Aud read out loud. Something about devastating? And did that second bit mean friend?

A friend was going to be hurt? Audrey frowned, eyes trailing down to the bottom of the page where another legend was scrawled. Look to the stars for truth. Aud raised her chin, looking up into the sky where the stars were just starting to peek out. What had she found? Searching the stars, Aud didn't see the middle of the parchment catch fire, but felt the warm air billowing up and jerked her head down just in time to see it disappear in an intense blue flame that produced no heat.

"... What?"
