Rei tried again to reach Kai though with no luck like previous times before changing back to his human form and moving from his position on the bed to look out the window, the sky had darkened somewhat since that morning as grey clouds continued to arrive.

******************************************************* *

Tyson and Max were the first out of there small group to arrive at potions but lost all motivation when they noticed the absents of Tala and Bryan and walked to there seats on the middle row at a more slower pace after being joined by Kenny and Hilary. Surprisingly that had made it to class relatively early that time giving them time to talk and relax though Tyson spent most of his time eyeing the door waiting for Tala and Bryan to arrive.

It didn't take long for the class to fill and for Snape to emerge from a darken corner though Tyson was disappointed when he didn't notice Tala or Bryan in amongst any of the other Slytherins. Tyson would of spent the time wondering where they were if it wasn't for the sudden amount of work that appeared before him and the others much to there disadvantage.

It was a single lesson though to Tyson and Max it seemed to go on and on like a double maybe even longer so and all they could do was quickly copy down all that Snape had appear while eyeing Kenny and Hilary in envy as they sat back and relaxed their quills doing the work for them. After what seemed like an eternity they heard the bell though nearly died when Snape looked like he was considering on keeping them in though that didn't stop him from giving them a heap of homework.

Kenny and Hilary headed down towards the greenhouses followed by Max and Tyson who were still eyeing out the Slytherins until the reached the greenhouse that a group of Hufflepuffs were gathered around. "Hey you four" came a voice and Tyson and Max turned around to see Mariah and Lee heading towards them, "Hey Mariah" Hilary said also stopping with Kenny as they waited for them to catch up.

"Hey you guys, hmm where's Rei?" Mariah asked as she dragged Lee along behind her, "well actually we have no idea" Kenny said "Yeh I mean first Kai disappears, then Rei and now Tala and Bryan, this is getting ridicules" Tyson said loudly as he and Max continued to head over to the greenhouse once more. "Mmmm that funny we haven't been able find Kevin this afternoon either" Lee added as he followed Mariah and the others.

"Yeh you haven't happened to see him anywhere have you guys?" Mariah asked as they reached the greenhouse Kenny, Hilary shook their heads, and Tyson and Max just shrugged as they joined the mass of students as they waited for Professor Sprout to arrive. After Professor Sprout had granted them access into the green house they were given the pleasure of a more slow and relaxed class then there previous ones had been much to Hilary's disappointment believing that the short list of 'things you should know' for there up coming exam was not in as much detail as it should have been. However, Tyson and Max were more then happy with this short term break.

*************************************************** *

Rei meanwhile had managed to slip out of the castel undetected before transforming once more into his tiger form and slipping off into the forbidden forest where he was able to watch his friends approach the greenhouse, though even his keen ears could not make out exactly what they were saying. Rei stayed well hidden figuring that even for the wizarding world a big white tiger on the school grounds would still seem quite out of the ordinary. He had chosen not to go and attend any of the days classes not being able to focus on anything in particular and figuring Hilary and Kenny would be able to lend him some of there notes from the class.

After watching the Hufflepuff and Griffindor students enter the greenhouse Rei lost his new form of entertainment just about as soon as he got it so bean to wander off through the forest until climbing a tree and lounging on a thick branch as he watched the mini spiders below. He was asleep when his keen tiger ears picked up the sound of something running towards him through the forest, Rei opened his eyes slightly annoyed at the disturbance before turning his head silently in the direction of the sound as he watched the ground below.

Rei listened as the sound of some clumsy creature stumbling through the forest got closer eyeing a patch of bushes Rei watched both surprised and slightly amused as he watched Kevin stumble out of the bush tripping on one of the roots as he went. Rei watched silently from his branch keeping his presents hidden as he watched Kevin panting heavily quickly scramble up off the ground and running as fast as he could straight under his tree continuing through the forest as if something was after him.

Rei watched the bushes wondering what Kevin had been running from when he heard the sly snickering though it wasn't coming from the bush or any part of the forest but silently from the back of his mind. Rei, curious, peered through the leaves eyeing the bush in more interest picking up two pairs of dark eyes one set larger then the other which were smaller slits located beneath the leaves. Without any warning or time for further investigation, they were gone though Rei already had a good idea of who they were anyway.

However, with nothing else left to do and with the smell of approaching darkness Rei pounded gracefully to the ground before having a closer investigation of the bush. After picking up to familiar but not fully human scents on the leaves and surrounding foliage confirming what he had previously thought Rei slipped off back towards the school. Pausing for a moment as he watched Tyson and Max hurrying after Johnny and Oliver as they headed for the quidditch pitch before figuring the coast was clear and slinking off to the roof access; maybe now he could get the class notes off Kenny and Hilary without Tyson's annoying questions.

After slipping in to the castel via the roof access he had use once before with Kai Rei transformed back into his human form before quietly making his way down to the Great Hall since he was hungry after not having eaten anything all day and also figuring that this would be where Kenny and Hilary were.

"Hey you two long time no see" came Reis voice and Kenny and Hilary turned around to see the raven haired boy heading towards them from a entrance to the Great Hall, "hey Rei where in the wizarding world have you been?" Kenny asked moving over slightly towards Hilary so Rei could take a seat beside him, "Slept in" Rei said smiling and helping himself to some food. "What for the whole day?? Do you have any idea how much work you have managed to miss?" Hilary asked talking over Kenny he decided to mind his own business in this.

"Yeh I couldn't help it though after all I was a sleep, do you mind if I borrow one of your sets of notes from our classes later on?" he asked, "Yeh sure, though there is a lot that you'll have to catch up on so me and Kenny will show you a kool trick we have mastered that will make copying our work a lot quicker" Hilary said smiling at Kenny. "Ok thanks soo much you two" Rei said as they returned to eating what they could while he thought about whether or not he should make a copy of the work for Kai.
