Same as Always(Open)

[Edward Von(Gone)]

Edward had been here for about six years, for six years is also six terms which is about ten months maybe more depending where you live. If you live far away like, lets say Ireland, you might as well stay at Hogwarts or London by yourself. His case he likes to stay at Hogwarts until he gets to gratuation, then leaving the old bricked place for somewhere new and better for a job. The forest had always been the same for him, each full moon he goes to the same spot. Always.

Always is always the same or always certain. That is the simple diffention for the word. Edward likes always and doesn't like always. It's the feeling of sameness brings the utopia of other's lives which is of couarse no fun. As always. Mr. Von doesn't like sameness if it's in the utopia way of everying prefect. Inprefect is just him already and it always has to be with everyone else also. Everybody's different.

He was walking around in the forest which was his favorite place at Hogwarts because it was the only place that he could really understand why it was forbidden, because he is there! Now the werewolf wonders why it was forbidden besides all the giant creatures and the really big hairy spiders, not to mention that lots of evil people lives in there sucking Unicorn's blood till the body is dry! Besides all of the so magical things in life. Edward has to fear? Well he can but just can't. Doesn't know why he can't fear the place. Maybe there isn't anything to fear in the world.

No dang it he is being a Gryffindork! Gryffindors are just annoying wanna bes. Seriously. Oh look at me and how brave I am of going to the girls bathroom. Then gets into trouble, and then the Gryffindor acts all cool about it infront of a whole bunch of girls. There is really no point with that sort of bloody mess. Anyways Gryffindors are just annoying people who think that they are all that basically. Wow just to think about it, prepy people would fit prefectly into Gryffindorks!

On the bright side, he wasn't being a Ravenclown He heard some people called Ravenclaws, Ravenclowns before. Edward found that funny but doesn't use that slang term for Ravenclaws, Ravenclowns not as much as he uses Gryffidorks. Life hits you hard with the world of logic comes into your brain and then you get lots of brain damage and it starts to hurt. That is the Ravenclown's job anyways.

Plus he doesn't use that slang word because he isn't much of a Slytherin anyways. Edward isn't that mean to the other houses or doesn't not like Slytherin because it would have been either Hufflepuff or Slytherin from the stupid sorting hat. The sorting hat isn't his best thing in the world to use for sorting things out anyways. Hufflepuff isn't much of a.... much of anything really. All to him that matters is that he is in Hufflepuff and not in other houses. Plus he likes the other houses. Just not much for Gryffindor that much. It really depends what person.

Anyways... right now Mr. Edward Von was just walking in a forest!

[Byron Curtis]

Byron Mark Curtis. The kid without parents was walking towards the Forbidden Forest. He was a Slytherin at age fifteen. His parents were dead, but it wasn't as if they didn't want him. He was wanted, but his mother couldn't take the dark side any more. His mother had killed herself when he was ten the muggle way-- by gunshot. Everyone thought his father killed her because he didn't have a good reputation in the muggle or wizard world. So he was sentenced to Azkaban then they decided to give him the dementours kiss. Him and his older brother started living with muggles now. Though, his brother got in trouble by the Order though Byron never knew why. His brother was sentenced a few years in azkaban.

He liked the forest for some reason. It was dark and mysterious like himself. He saw a Hufflepuff whom he grew up with. He had started realizing that Hufflepuffs really decided what side they were on. See most of the time it was pretty obvious that most of the the Slytherin house was a bunch of death eaters in the making while the Gryffindor house was a bunch of Order members in the making. Hufflepuffs were very hard to place. He used to hate the guy: Edward Von, but something made him start liking him. They were friends now, but not like himself, Scorpius, and Albus. No one could match to their friendship. It was hard just to get close to Byron ever since he lost just about his whole family. He had a grin on his face. He was going to scare him or at least try to. He came up behind him all quiet like. He put him in a choke hold. He said, "Hey, mate! What are you doing out here?" He laughed a bit and let go.

Scorpius became close to the guy which showed that he must be cool. Him and Scorpius were twins that were seperated at birth. Not really, but they told people that. Scorpius was the closest person he had gotten to besides his own blood brother. The only thing him adn Scorpius ever fought over was girls. Who got what girl and why should you get that girl. They basically split it up. They were the top guys of school. Every girl liked them and they got to choose who they dated. It was a good life, but when Byron went home it wasn't that easy to charm the ladies. Though, he didn't like most of them anyways. He didn't like the thought of muggles and wizards or witches marrying. It sickened him. He wanted to date only pure-bloods, but made the mistake of dating a muggle once. That sucked.

[Edward Von(Gone)]

Of course there has to be footsteps and breaking sticks while someone stands on. It's real sad for the person if they really ment to sneek around when they know that there was someone there. Not like Edward Von knew that there was someone gonna be sneeking up behind him or anything like that but next time people need to be better at doing that. Ed does that sometimes and knows how to get around things. He doesn't like people sneeking up behind him, but the fun thing is that when you get them off guard.

At first Edward thought that the person was gonna choke him sense he was put on choke hold but then relized the voice that came to him as the familiar voice reliesed his hands that was on his neck. It was a fifth year Slytherin named Byron Curtis, an orphan which sometimes he wished he was one sometimes always. It really depends on the days and that he gets his own Christmas presents and his parents some while his Aunt smoke.

Somedays he wished to stay at the forest. The Headmaster of course rejected his request though. Oh well. It's the Headmaster's wish to be a busy man. And it's Edward's wish to make his life so busy. He'd bet that it was his fault that he was soooo stricted now and days. Most of the times it's like. "Edward! In my office! NOW! Even if Mr. Von didn't do anything. Gets blame for no reason at all. His life rocks! Depends when the time matters anyways.

[Joy Maddison]

Joy Lane Maddison was bored. Emmensely bored. She'd been cooped up in the library for hours upon hours, doing stupid research about stupid things, and she had to get out of the castle. So she had slipped through the doors unnoticed and made her way towards the Forbidden Forest, careful to stay away from the gamekeeper's hut. She wasn't in the mood to be caught and given detention. As she neared the edge of the forest, she glanced up at the looming trees, mentally debating whether or not she should venture forward. Usually, she wouldn't; Joy tended to follow the rules. But tonight was another matter.

She wasn't sure whether it was the constantly stuffy air of the library, or if her older sister's reckless nature was starting to wear off on her. Either way, Joy took the risk and stepped across the boundary line set for the students of Hogwarts, surprised that she wasn't hyperventilating. Joy wasn't a rule-breaker, not in the slightest form of the word. It was why so many people were surprised that she was such close friends with Edward Von; he wasn't exactly one to toe the line.

Sighing, she wandered aimlessly in the forest, not sure of where she was going. Hopefully she wouldn't end up stranded and lost out here. Joy came to a sudden halt when she heard a distinctly male voice - and a slightly familiar one at that - ring out through the trees. Shocked, she followed it only to find something she hadn't been expecting at all.

Byron Curtis stood before her, as did Edward, her best friend. Joy raised her eyes at the sight of them.

"What are you two doing out here?" She wondered if Edward was going to berate her on the risks of being in the forest; he'd always been slightly protective of her.

[Edward Von(Gone)]

Edward heard more footsteps and more breaking sticks coming up infront of him, but it was really came from where Byron came from. This time it was someone else's footsteps. Someone else's scent. He knew the scent. It was love! lol Not really, he loves her has a crush on her. To bad the Hufflepuff boy doesn't show it. It was the one and only Joy Maddison. Also that she is his best friend.

Then her beautiful voice came into action, just wondering why she was out in the forest; at night; where you can get attacked. "Well... I'd ask you the same question really Joy, you know about the huge spiders, bats, werewolves but not today, and other dangerous creatures. Plus I do this every night almost," Edward Von explained to her. "OK Byron, your turn!"

"Oh also please don't chock me or I'd have to rip every inch of your skin off if you do so..." he promised. lol

[Byron Curtis]

Byron gave a small grin towards his mate. He looked at Joy as well. He didn't know her that well. One reason she was a year older than Byron. He said, "Ah, not much. The forest relaxes me." It reminded him of himself. Dark and mysterious, but he didn't want to tell them two that. He figured that it still wasn't that obvious that he was a Death Eater. He tried to keep in on the down low. Not that he was ashamed. They would all eventually know.

Byron said, "What about yourself, mate?" Looking at Joy and hearing Edward's last words. He grinned. He said, "Oh, c'mon, mate. You have been making that thread since first year and you haven't done it yet." He laughed. He probably was pushing his luck with Edward, but then again they were friends.

He wondered why some of the other creatures came into the forest. He would probably become a werewolf one of these days at the risks he kept taking, but who cares. He sure didn't. He sometimes felt like he had nothing to live for. The only person he had was his brother. Though, he was in Azkaban so he couldn't even talk to him. He tried to push these thoughts out of his head. There was no time for such bad thoughts. They only made life worse and you should never live like that. Live in the present and don't look back or forward. Made things a whole lot happier in his opinion.

[Joy Maddison]

She grinned at the boys, watching their interaction. She didn't know Byron very well, but she'd heard Ed mention his name once or twice. She knew they were friends, and that was about it. Joy had to stifle a laugh at Ed's threat, because she wasn't sure if he meant it or not. She just knew he would never do anything like that to her.

"I don't know why I'm out here, really," she said, in response to their mutual question. "I just got bored and decided to take a walk." Joy smiled softly at Edward, trying not to focus on the way his hair was falling in his eyes.

It had taken her a very long time to admit, even to herself, that she had a crush on her best friend. She had always known, of course, in her own small way, but she hadn't actually realized it until fourth year. The thought of losing him always made her keep her distance, however; he was really the only person other than her sister that she would do anything for. Sometimes she thought she might even be falling in love with him, but she refused to act until he told her otherwise, and, honestly, she doubted that would ever happen. Why would be want his quiet, bookworm-ish best friend when he could have someone just as gorgeous and outgoing as himself?

"It's quite odd, isn't it, to see me out in the forest? I'm usually such a good girl." Joy's bright smile dropped a little. "I was actually starting to get scared before I found you two," she admittedy softly. Usually, she wouldn't let anyone else known of her weakness - it was probably a Maddison thing, considering her sister was the same way. But Edward knew almost everything about her, anyway, and Byron seemed like a nice guy. Well, he didn't seem like he would kill her in her sleep, at least, and that had to count for something, right? She observed them both for a minute, waiting for their reactions.

[Edward Von(Gone)]

Why does Edward had to bother with Byron. It wasn't Ed's fault that he as in Byron was freakn' annoying! No wonder why the Hufflepuff boy didn't hang out with him as much as some of the others. The Slytherin... is just annoying... and the rest of the people besides the Headmaster... is not annoying. Gosh, he needs to make a bet with the Headmaster about him and what year he's in. It wasn't his fault that the potion that the Potion's master told him to do the exam in paper while doing making the potion that included paper putting in potion where there wasn't any other paper to use....

He ignore Byron's comment for a moment when he said thread instread of threat. "Even I'm not that dumb, it's threat not thread like to use for needles to fix up a shirt or something," Edward said to Byron. The Hufflepuff leaned against a tree turning toward Joy, "Why did you want to go on a walk then?" Mr. Von asked his best friend forever. Then another statement came in. "Yeah... this is strange.... you are a goody-good girl why are you at the forest?"

DOne!
