Four:

Victoria Anna White, was not afraid of a lot of things, but she was frightened of a few things, spiders for one, but another would be bugs, especially maggots, but times the size of a maggot by nine hundred then multiply one of these maggots by sixty and you've got the answer to her screams, I mean come on, who else wouldn't scream?

But of course, there were I things /I out there, probably hungry, a storm with hard winds and lightning, giant maggots in a cave and to top it all off, they had no magic what so ever… well Victoria had no magic what so ever. So you can imagine why she screamed.

"Victoria, it's okay now, they're gone." She opened her eyes, and sure enough, they were gone.

"I hate maggots, large insects and arachnids, I wish they were all dead as a doorknob."

"We'll set up here for the night, and we'll leave as soon as one of us wakes up, no one will be left behind."

"What do you think is out there?"

"Trying to kill us? Everything. Trying to find us? Nothing."

"And to think this was only suppose to at maximum, a day, and it's been what? Two?"

"Almost three, yeah, I'm starting to think we got turned around and we didn't realise it, but to be honest, I have no clue what so ever." With that said, the two slowly drifted off to sleep, hoping noting would come for them in the middle of the night. But then again, they wouldn't mind help either.

When morning came, Sirius lightly shook Victoria awake. "Come White, we need to get to Hogwarts soon, besides, the bugs may come back." This got her attention, with her sore neck; she jumped up and started to run a hand through her hair, pulling out sticks and leaves as she did so.

"Well come on Black, I think we both want a nice hot shower to go with a delicious feast, and the only way to get there is through the forest."

"When talking about this shower-"

"I'd rather one by myself thankyou Black."

"I was going to say something else, but if you're suggesting."

"Shove off." She said walking faster so he wouldn't see the colour of her cheeks; yep it was defiantly the water, no doubt about it, Victoria really needed that lake, maybe the weird water would take her mind off how his body felt under her finger tip and how his hair- she really needed that water.

Sirius smirked behind he, ah yes, the Black Playboy, still had it in him to charm a girl into blushing, even Victoria, the heartless, beautiful, sexy Victoria, who had silky smooth skin and a velvet voice that sounded so sexy when she moaned at his touch on her weak spot on her neck, and how goose bumps appeared when his hands played with her back- oh bugger, it was the weather, the weather was doing this to him, thank god she couldn't read his mind, although she probably would agree with some of his thoughts that included her.

As the day wore on the two tried not to get into each other's path, tried not to speak to each other, tried not to think of them… each other, I meant each other…

Of course, no matter how hard they tried, which was very little, neither could get rid of these thoughts, so instead they let their mind wonder, while they kept and eye out for water, but then that didn't work either, because they thought so much, that they forgot they were walking until I thunk, /I "Shit." Sirius walked into a tree.

"What were you doing Black? Thinking of me?"

Sirius smirked a cocky smirk, making Victoria turn back around a blush her face away, not only had he out dirtied her, she knew, he knew that she was blushing, stupid Black.

Sirius smiled to himself again, yep he knew, with out a doubt, that it was the weather and that when he arrives at Hogwarts it'll pass, thinking of Hogwarts, he wondered if the feast this year would be three times as tasty because of how little he had eaten, and how tasteless the food he has been eating was.

When the duo had finally found the water, they drank nearly double their body weight of it. When Victoria lifted her head up she looked at Sirius, who had washed his face with the water, making the pearls of water, dripping off his face, gleam in the sunlight. His eye glittered when it caught the golden light, and the shirt stuck on his body, showing every single muscle on him, giving Victoria dirty thoughts.

Shaking her head clear, she continued walking, hoping that the thoughts would disappear, but sometimes hoping is not enough.

The trees in the forest didn't seem to be thinning, but at least they weren't thickening. The travel was hard enough for the two as they dodge loose braches and roots in the ground, of course Victoria was mad at Sirius, she was mad at him because he made her feel for him, felt things that shouldn't exist, so pulling back a branch, she let go once she past, and it swat him right in the face. After a few curses, Sirius continued his walk, equally mad as Victoria.

"You know what I think? I think that all this silence is a trick and really there are noises out there, although they might be too high pitched for us to hear them." Victoria said as she kicked a pebble, which went flying in the air to the left of Victoria, and hit a tree, disturbing the insects inside of it.

"Oh shoot." Sirius said as the flying insects, which were twice the size of a normal insect, came flying towards them.

"Maybe we should run?" The two shot of forwards, never looking back as they ran past some more trees, the green above them hid the light, making it difficult to see roots, causing Victoria to trip over one. "Oww." She said as she got up.

"Did you break anything?"

"No but I think I twisted my ankle." She leaned all her body weight on her other foot as she hopped towards a tree she could lean on.

"We run and hide a lot."

"We also don't have any magic because something is blocking it in this forest."

"So how many days has it been?"

"Three… I think, so that's two days to long in this forest."

"Well isn't this fun?" Sirius said as he leaned back, closing his stormy grey eyes from exhaustion.

"Well at least we got exercise."

"Cupcake, running after you in this forest is a full time job, exercise is not a strong enough word, I think we got a work out."

"…" Silence followed as the two tried not to think of the other meaning to what Sirius had said; maybe they should have something to eat?

"Well that was awkward eh?" Sirius said to break the silence that had shifted between the two.

"Yeah… lets keep walking." The two stood up and continued to walk through the forest, only instead of I thunk, crack and blich, /I of their footsteps, crushed leaves and sticks and insects, they heard I Squish, blish and blosh /I from the mud and their footsteps, possible a few unlucky bugs but really who could know?

When it began to turn dark the duo looked for somewhere, where they could sleep where it would be dry. "Its either the ground or the trees." Sirius said.

"Lucky us, we either can be muddy and be gunked with who-knows-what or we could be covered in sticks and leaves and be laying in who-knows-what."

"I vote the trees."

"So do I." With that said Victoria and Sirius climbed up the tree, hoping that the creatures of the forest couldn't fly or climb, but with their luck, who really knew?

"Shit." Victoria said as she felt something tear.

"What?"

"I just tore my pants."

"Nice one White." I Hmm… /I

"Well I guess it could be worse."

"It just did, this tree only has one branch thick enough for us, and unless you can sleep with half of you floating, we're going to have to share a branch."

"Story of my life."

"So, there are two ways we can sleep, but only one is one where I won't get slapped."

"Let me guess, I'm going to have to squeeze between your legs?"

"Unless you like sleeping on top."

"Bugger." I Well both sound appealing… no wait… I hate him remember? /I "Between the legs."

I And cue awkward silence, it sounded way to dirty. /I
