A/N: Hey! It's me again! Please, don't shoot me for the lack of update. You see, my computer got wiped, along with Microsoft Word, so for the past couple of weeks I haven't had anything to actually WRITE the stories into. Also, it was laziness. Even my MSN name says "Queen of Laziness". Mental note to self - Stop making this story look so Soap Opera-ish. Whooaaa, More drama heading this way. Fasten your seat belts people!
"For god sakes, we've looked EVERYWHERE, we're not going to find them!" Kiara whined, throwing herself onto the Gryffindor Common Room couch, after the long search of looking for Emma and Jake. "I'm tired" she grumbled, shifting her weight on the couch to make herself more comfortable.
Silence was ringing through Scotts ears as he stood, hands on hips staring at the floor in deep thought. How could of this gotten so wrong? The whole purpose of roleplaying in the first place is about to make out as these characters in the first place. Becoming those characters was almost like a dream come true, but that was far from reality now they had experienced it. A dream? More like a nightmare that just wont end.
"Come on, we can't just give u-"
"Yes we can!" Kiara growled, sending Scott a death-threatening stare. "Its their problem if they got lost, heck, its all their fault all together! I just want to go home" she sulked. That was the turning point for Scott. She had crossed the line.
"That's IT!" Scott roared, pointing an accusing finger at Kiara as he yelled. "The whole time we've been here, all you've ever done is thought about yourself! Do you really think we want to be here too? We're stuck here, theres NOTHING we can do about it, so learn to live with it!" he bellowed, sending an echo around the Common Room.
And then the silence returned. The somewhat deafening silence.
Andrew sat quietly, wrinkling his Peter piggy nose as he gazed into the blazing fire. The common room was only occupied by the those three, no other Gryffindor to be seen. It was a lovely day outside and most of the population would be soaking up the sun out on the grounds. People who knew who they were. People who knew themselves.
Andrew leant forward, looking to be in deep thought as he randomly stood up as quick as he could and walked out of the Common Room. He felt scott's eyes on the back of his head as he left, but didn't dare to turn around to to say where he was heading. If they didn't want to find them, fine, but Andrew now had a mission.
A mission to get everyone out of this place safely.
And, if possible, quickly.

"Why wont you let me leave?!" Jake cried, as he shot an innocent yet upsetting look at the nurse who was busy shuffling around up and down the ward, sometimes busy with paper work or carrying different medicines around from place to place. She stopped suddenly, back turned to him as breathed out a sigh. Then, as quick as could be, she spun at the heel and glare at Jake with threatening narrowed eyes as she spoke with a bitter taste. "Mr Potter, I've explained to you three times already!"
"Well, tell me again, with a recent excuse this time" Jake answered back, surprised at himself for making a smart arse comment, as such to an adult. The nurse shot him another look from over her shoulder, before continuing, muttering a few words under her breathe.
"I heard that!" Jake shouted down the ward at her, making a strange look to himself. Why was he doing this? Maybe this whole situation was getting to him. He was known to get like this when he was frustrated. Maybe that was it...
And then it happened again. It was like he had fallen asleep instantly and stepped right into a dream. But it was clearer than a dream, it almost seemed real. The setting around him fluttered around him, and changed to a darker, more depressing theme. Jake recognized he was in the Dungeons. In front of him (and appearing out of sheer no where) was Ashley, as Snape on the cold, hard rough stone floor, stumbling to get to her feet. She rose slowly, shaking nervously and snarling darkly at Jake. She pulled back her Snape like greasy black hair to reveal a series of deep cuts and gashes across her cheekbone. Jake raised an eyebrow. "Ashley..." Jake stepped forward to help her.
"Stay back Potter" Ashley snarled taking a step back from Jake, raising her wand in defense. Jake then knew this wasn't Ashley. This was the 'real' Snape of Hogwarts.
Down in Jakes left hand, he held on to a wand, gripped tightly in the palm. Then it clicked. This was a duel. James versus's Snape, another one of those things. Another...memory, even.
And before Jake could react, Snape had already mutter a curse onto to him right before when he woke up.
"Oi! You! You're awake!"
Jake blinked at the harsh light and battered his eyelids several times before fully opening his eyes to watch the blurred images swerve around him. Peering over his head was Kiara, grinning madly with excitement. Jake frowned and shifted himself up wards, Kiara moving out of his way and going back to her seat next to the bed. Scott, Andrew and Emma all came racing over from the other side of the ward. Jake held up his arm and grabbed the back of his neck, rubbing it as he sat up in the hospital ward bed. "Whats going on?" he asked, squinting around the room.
Kiara handed Jake a pair of familiar glasses, which he took gratefully and slipped them on in front of his eyes, immediantly making his view better. All four of his friends stood around his bed, staring at him strangely. Jake looked away from all of their faces, awaiting someone to answer his question.
"I went looking for you" Andrew squeaked (obviously, not meaning too, but being trapped inside Peter Pettigrews body, he had no choice) "And I found Emma, which lead me to you" he nodded proudly, beaming that he had actually "done" something to help throughout this entire mess.
Jake smiled as Kiara cut in. "Yeah, so mate, do you mind answering what happened to you?" she nodded in the direction of the scabs from the deep gashes on his left arm and face.
Jake stared at his own wounds. Not even him, himself remembered what exactly had happened when he went walking into the forrest. He explained to the group how he lost his temper with Emma and stormed into the forrest, unaware of the danger that lurked around him. He heard something rattle in the bushes behind him, when all of a sudden something attacked, just as he fell into the memory. The same sort of memory Emma had.
"Memories eh.." Scott repeated, thinking over what had just been said. "I think I had one of those."
All eyes turned onto Scott.
Staring the floor for a second, he rehersed the words in his mind carefully before they came out loud. "I was studying, y'know, just a bit of magic that might be able to get us out of here on couch in the Common Room" he started. "I thought i must have dozed off, because before I knew it I was dreaming. I was running, running as fast as I could in this forrest. I didn't know where I was going, but as I looked up into the sky I saw a cloud reveal a full moon." Scott paused briefly before carrying on. "I thought it was only a dream, but since the whole Remus and..." Scott lowered his voice in case the nurse had been eavesdropping "...werewolf thing, it might have some connection."
All five of them awaited in silence, taking in all the information slowly. It wasn't untill when Emma spoke was when they all made a move. "I guess we better get studying then, eh?"
A/N: I'm off to update "Seriously Sirius" now. Untill next chapter!
