Chapter.6. Lectures, Lectures, Lectures!
"Great, Potions first, oh what joy!" Legolas stared glumly at his timetable on the table. "You sound enthusiastic Lego." Giggled Raene. "Who would if they had potions first?" Questioned Legolas. All three nodded. "And don't call me that!" "Soz Big man!" Smirked Raene. This was answered by a glare. They got up to head to the dungeon when Legolas remembered he had left his wand in the Griffindor common room. Any excuse to escape potions thought Eldinwen.
Potions was like they remembered it, dull. Snape drivelled on for half the lesson about the uses of dragon's snare and wrote some complicated formulae's on the board for them to write down. Legolas complained that he didn't understand a word he was saying. The rest of the lesson was about making a dragon's snare repellent. Eldinwen's potion fumed purple smoke and was the right temperature. Raene's was nearly there, but instead of a liquid, the potion evolved into a wobbling blob off goo. It stuck to the table, pulsing gently. Legolas' was even worse. It turned red and smelt awful then, when tested exploded in a shower off sparks.
Their next lesson was History of Magic with Professor Binn. As usual it was a droning lecture where half the class went to sleep. Even Eldinwen fell asleep at the sound of 'rebellions'. Almost every part of magic history revolved around rebellions or wars. They were just so boring! Only Hermione was listening to the old ghost rabbiting on.
Their last lesson, after lunch, was care of magical creatures with Hagrid. "At last, a proper lesson!" sighed Raene as they headed towards the school grounds and the hut on the outskirts of the forest. Already the class had gathered around a small table holding what looked like wolf pups. When the three friends arrived at the table, Hagrid was talking to a rather old looking wizard with a crooked nose. "What's going on Hagrid?" asked Legolas, nodding to the old wizard. "Ah, been havin' a bit o' trouble in the forest. I 'ave ter go an' investigate. Professor Clockworth will be takin' the class." Raene groaned. They all felt like that. The first decent lesson in the day was ruined. But Eldinwen knew a way they could escape another boring lesson. "Can we come and help you Hagrid?" she asked the giant. "If yeh like, but it 'ill be dangerous!" "We don't mind," she smiled, "We laugh in the face of danger!"
They followed Hagrid into the trees and to a makeshift path of compressed earth. Leafy branches scraped past them, digging into their clothes and skin. Eldinwen ignored this and continued to talk to Hagrid. "So Hagrid, want kind of trouble have you had?" "Noises mostly. Like the ones in the east tower. 'Ad some first years spooked." "What do you think is making these noises?" "Dunno, something in pain I reckon. Poor devil!" "Something in pain?" This thought stuck in Eldinwen's mind like a nightmare. Haunting. "WHA!" yelled Raene as she tripped over a tree root. Legolas knelt down to help her and paused. "Oh my god!" his eyes widened and he jumped back, almost falling over himself. "What is it?" Eldinwen ran over to her friends and followed Legolas' hand. Near where Raene was laying was a small pool of red blood. It shone evilly. A trail of the same blood led into the depths of the forest. Eldinwen gasped. Raene turned to see what everyone was looking at and almost ended up in the tree screaming. "W-who's is that?!" Raene stuttered, pointing to the blood. "That'll be the trouble I reckon." Muttered Hagrid, stepping up behind Eldinwen. "Should we follow it?" whispered Eldinwen. "NO, no, no! I am NOT going in there!" Raene shook her head violently. "You don't know what might be waiting in there. It might be hungry!" She shuddered at the thought. "I would have ter agree with her on this one. We don't know what may be in there. Don't want yer gettin' hurt now." "But what about if the thing that's injured is still alive?" protested Eldinwen, "We can't just leave it to die!" "We have ter!" With that, Hagrid headed back through the woods, closely followed by Raene and Legolas. Eldinwen was left standing alone, frustrated and eager to find out whom the blood belonged to. She decided to find out herself and followed the blood trail deep into the forest.
