The Union of the Snake: Chapter four: A Second encounter
"Right!" James gasped as he plonked down a stack of books onto a desk in the Gryffindor common room. "I think we have everything we need here." Aryn stared at James, "Oh so you're serious then, we were hoping that you would forget..."
"No, of course I'm serious, why wouldn't I be? Plus if they do come to Hogwarts we have to be ready to take them on in battle." James was obviously not going to give up on this plan no matter what Aryn said she could tell already.
"Well" Russell yawned stretching in his usual armchair, "I suppose it can't do any harm doing some research. Plus, the October break is next week, it might keep us occupied for a while." He folded his arms and went back to the half sleep he was in before.
"Ok then, I suppose it wouldn't do us any harm in learning some things, just for something to do of course. If they really do come to the school you aren't honestly going to try and fight them...are you James?" Aryn looked into his eyes and gave him a very mother like don't you dare look. "Yes, of course WE are." James picked up one of the books and began to skim through the pages, "You honestly didn't think I would fight them alone did you, no, no, no. You're going to too." Aryn looked at him she wasn't amused.
"But...James...no you can't..."
"Yes I can and that's the last of it. Aryn I am perfectly serious, and no one not even you will change my mind." James closed the book and headed towards the boy's dormitories, "Now if you don't mind, I'm going to bed. Goodnight." As he closed the door Aryn sighed, "Oh well, all I can hope for now is that nothing will happen to the school..."

Aryn decided the next morning to go for a walk, she couldn't stay with Russell and James for too long as they had became engrossed in their task of researching. "What will I do...?" She thought to herself, as she sat down onto an old iron bench. "If The Union suddenly does attack the school, how can I stop James from doing something stupid? He's starting to think he's his father." Aryn stared at the leave coloured grass, the grounds looked so beautiful during autumn and she had already decided it was her favourite time in Hogwarts; everything suddenly looked a little bit more magical than it already had done. "I love autumn, don't you?" Aryn jumped she had gotten lost in her own thoughts and hadn't noticed Gavin Malfoy walking over and sitting down beside her, "It makes even the shallowest of people suddenly get lost in the most deepest of thoughts." "It is very pretty this time of year." Aryn sighed, "I love how the leaves suddenly change into a completely different colour making it look so romantic." Gavin turned to look at her, but Aryn was still staring away into the distance thinking about nothing and yet everything at the same time. "I know what Potter's doing." Aryn suddenly turned to look at him, "He better watch his back. You never know what The Union can see, if they find out what Potter is doing, they may do terrible things to him." Aryn bit her lip; she didn't really know what to say. "I'll be sure to tell him." She whispered as though she had recently received the biggest shock of her life. "You just do that. For now, I have to go. Goodbye." And as quick as he has appeared Gavin was gone again, leaving Aryn more confused and worried than before.
~*~ As she walked back into the common room Aryn began to think about what Gavin had said, she thought maybe this time she should tell James about her encounter with Gavin. Maybe is she did he would stop all this nonsense.
"Hello where did you go to?" Russell was sitting alone at the desk in the common room when Aryn came in. "For a walk...erm where's James?" Aryn was eager to tell him about what Gavin had said. "He went to the library to get more books; you should see the thing's we've found out about this Union, it's pretty shocking." Russell took a sip from his mug of Butterbeer and looked up at Aryn, "What's wrong with you, you seem very unsettled." "I bumped into Gavin Malfoy on the way over here, and he told me to warn James about looking into the Union." She went to sit over at her usual chair and Russell went to sit next to her. "He told me that if the Union found out about his plan they would do something terrible to him." She bit her lip nervously. "The little Rat!" Russell barked, "He was watching us in the Library this morning I knew it, I told James but he just ignored me. I wouldn't worry too much. He's probably trying to scare you, Gavin Malfoy probably knows less than we do about the Union." He took another sip from his butterbeer. "Don't get too worked up, we'll tell James the minute he comes back on. But knowing Gavin if he's anything like the rest of his family he's probably just trying to scare you. Don't think about it too much." Russell noticed his cup was empty, "Aghh! Would you like a butterbeer? Seems like I'll have to go get one for myself." "Yeah, that would be nice." Aryn watched Russell walk away thinking about what he had said, but she still couldn't get Gavin out of her head, she knew what James was doing wasn't a good idea, and somehow Gavin knew this too.
