The Forest of Medeya
"Michel do something! She's still out!" said a familiar voice I've heard it before somewhere, I just couldn't bring myself to remember where. My head hurt, my whole body hurt. I tried to open my eyes but my eyelids felt heavy, so I just decided to lay there and listen. "What do you want me to do I'm not the wizard here now am I?" said a frustrated voice which I'm guessing belonged to Michel. "Can't you do something?" he asked. "Come on Blaise. Think"
That's it Blaise, Blaise Zabini. I knew I heard that voice somewhere before no wonder I recognised it, I often worked with Blaise in charms he was the only Slytherin that didn't call me names whenever he got the chance, which was strange since he was best friends with Draco Malfoy who absolutely despised me. Blaise was different unlike the other Slytherins he was actually quite nice.
"I told you my wand was broken, so I'm kind of useless. We'll just have to wait for the others to come back, maybe Draco will know what to do at least he still has his wand. Where the hell are they anyway? They've been gone for an hour." said Blaise. Did he say Draco? As in Draco Malfoy! This could not get any worse. Why is he here? Where ever here is. Why does this always happen to me ? This is seriously screwed up.
There was a loud pop.
"Ugh. I'm gonna puke!" said a feminine voice. Clearly about to be sick I heard footsteps on the soft ground fading. Poor thing must have been her first apparation. "Girl that is nasty!" said Blaise amused.
"Well apparation does that to you... it's usually with girls though. Guys seem to have stronger stomachs for this sort of things" said non other than Draco Malfoy. How dare he it is so not true I didn't even fell a little bit sick after my first apparation.
My body still hurt but I managed to open my eyes slowly. My vision was blurred and the light was blinding at first. We were in a forest the trees stood strong and tall with the sun peeking through the leaves. It was warm and the place had a strange, fantastical feeling about it. I was laid on the soft grass which was unusually comfortable. There were four guys stood above me looking into the distance probably at the sick girl. Two of them were Malfoy and Blaise, the other two I didn't recognise but I guessed one of them was Michel but I had no idea who the other one was.
"excuse me but I recall at the examinations at Hogwarts the only person to vomit was none other than Theo Nott and from what I remember he appears to be a boy unless I'm wrong?" I said offended. They all turned to me with stunned expressions. I laughed.
"What?" asked confused Blaise. I motioned for him to lean closer to me. He did. I grabbed his head and pulled him closer "you should all see your faces right now!" I whispered in his ear. He looked at the others and then at me, we both started to laugh and the other just looked even more confused except for Michel he didn't seem to have any expression at all anymore. The girl came back and looked at me and Blaise. She has black hair and was dressed all in black with black combat boots, fishnet tights, a short puffy skirt and a tight black t-shirt with a skull made of diamonties on it with a leather jacket. Her face was pale and she had heavy black make up on. She had her hand on her stomach which was probably still a bit unsettled from the apparation.
"What are they laughing about? You know at I don't even wonna know!" she said and sat down on the soft ground.
There was another loud pop and everybody turned in its direction. I popped myself up into a seating position my back clicking painfully in progress.
Professor Snape and a young woman approached us. I realised everyone else also sat down. Snape was dressed in his black robes with his black hair greasy as usual; the woman had white shoes and was dressed in a beige pencil skirt with a white blouse. Her blond hair tied on the top of her head in a tidy bun. She started to speak as they came forward to where we all sat her moves were graceful and confident, Professor Snape was walking behind her trying not to look inferior. "Hello children!" she said enthusiastically. "For those of you who don't know my name is Amelie and this is Professor Snape. You are all here because you went to places you should not have been at during the wrong time and ended up here. This place is called the Forest of Medeya; it is a place between worlds. You will all be here until you can figure out the key to escape; you will be given a number of challenges to help you figure it out although some of them will be insignificant. You will be partnered with somebody else and they will help you through these challenges and you will have to share your shelter with them."
My hand shot in the air.
"Miss Granger this is not school and there were no questions asked so put your hand down!" said Snape harshly. I dropped my hand to the ground. Geez I was only gonna ask if there are any dangers to watch out for in this forest. He really does hate me.
"Right then!" said Snape in a raised voice causing everybody but Malfoy and one of the other guys to jump. "Your pairs will be; Blaise Zabini with Eve Rosser, Draco Malfoy and Michel Glass and Shane Collins with Hermione Granger. Now that that's settled your first challenge is to build shelter for with your partner that you will share with them. You will have supplies here that will appear in approximately in half an hour and will be gone by midnight tonight." he finished talking. "Oh and there is no magic to be used. Also Michel" Amelie said to the blond boy sitting to my left "you will not be able to use your speed here I made sure of it so even if you try it will not work." The boy nodded.
Snape and Amelie walked away and dissaparated with a loud pop.
Everybody shifted and sat in a small circle. They looked at me the only other guy who I didn't know sat next to me I realised he must be Shane my partner. He had dark hair and was dressed in blue jeans and a blue t-shirt. He had broad shoulders and was big and muscular; he look liked somebody you would definitely want on your team when playing Quidditch. He had a friendly face and a pleasant smile.
The girl dressed in black must have been Eve. She had a smile on her face and I thought she was either an Emo or a Goth judging by her clothes and make-up.
"Will someone please explain to me what in the name of Merlin is going on?" I asked.
