So as I said this will be updated at least once a month. More if I can.
Courtney's POV
"40, 41, 43…" I was counting up to 100. I was seeking first. I was a little worried though Emily wasn't exactly the most responsible person. I wasn't either, but Emily might just suggest Lizard hide inside Nagini, without realizing what would happen.
"57, 58…" I heard a thump above me. That couldn't be good.
After awhile I reached a hundred and began seeking. I mentioned that the Death Eaters had gone on a picnic to get away when they heard about the hide and seek game right? No? Oh well they did, so only Emily, Iz, Lizard, Nagini and I were in the house.
I found Iz quickly she had gotten distracted by the kitchen knives. (She's a violent child) and Emily was attempting to hide in Nagini (What did I tell you?), but Lizard was missing. That worried me. Lizard was adorable and imaginative, but she wasn't exactly smart, or sane.
We began searching the house separately. I check the bedrooms and bath rooms on the second and third floor. Emily checked the first floor and Iz checked the fourth floor, which was a glorified crawl space. We met up and hour later.
"I didn't find her." I said.
"I found three dead rats, a moving box full of spiders the size of your head, and a self help book about disciplining adopted teenagers, but no Lizard." Iz stated plainly. Somehow I knew Voldy had bought that book to deal with us.
"I look on the whole first floor and she wasn't there then I check the basement and a strange old man said he'd seen her but she left. Then I relocked the basement." Emily smiled. I wasn't sure if that man was a figment of her imagination or not.
"Well." I said. "There's only one thing to do now." I took out my wand and amplified my voice. "Ollie! Ollie! Oxen free!"
Then we waited in the lair, which we discovered, got surprisingly good internet access. It started raining, and by raining I mean pouring, soon after. And then we saw it. Something fell off the house and landed in the bushes outside. We rushed to see what it was.
Lizard had been the falling object. She wasn't hurt though thanks to the bushes and she was smiling.
"You couldn't find me!" She cheered jumping out of the bush. "I hid on the roof. It wasn't easy either. I had to climb out Draco's window and up the drainpipe. Then I had to scale the slanty part of the roof then I sat on the flat part. But you could find me!" She jumped up and down clapping then she yawned, followed by a sneeze. The she dropped to the groud.
"What Happened!" Emily was just as scared as I was but I couldn't talk.
"She just fell a sleep. She does that some times." IZ stated as if colaping to the ground was a perfectly normal way to go to sleep, but then again, since when was our family normal?
I carried Lizard up to her room, and changed her into something warm and dry then I laid her in her bed.
That's all for now :)
