Harry Potter: Hogsmeade

"But you weren't allowed to try out, it's only for 6th and 7th years isn't it?" Arnold asked.

Alex got up and followed them out of the room.

"C'mon Felix," said Arnold. Felix flew over onto his shoulder and they walked out to the grounds.

Shade follows them"I'm not allowed to compete, but remember I'm a referee, i might need to help some people out if the cant handle the challenge, there's some pretty nasty stuff ahead".he grinned"thats why i need to practice".

Alex raised an eyebrow," Pretty nasty? As if a vampire, a werewolf, and Death Eaters aren't? I think we can handle it, " She said laughing.

"Hey that's werepire. Jeez can't anyone get that right?"

"Ha, sorry Arnold."

"I'll forgive you too. Besides, it's Mr. Werepire to you also."

Alex rolled her eyes, "Alright then, Mr. Werepire."

Raven let the rest go ahead and went back into the Hospital to check on Chase.

"hows he doing"shade said to raven through his thoughts"is he okay"but then remembering she doesnt know how to tell him he sends another message"ill be right up"he said making his wayto the hospital wing while writing a message

Raven thought she was hearing voices but brushed it up and went over to ask Madam Pomphrey a question. "um..Madam Pomphrey..will Chase be able to compete in the tournament??" Madam Pomphrey gave Raven a mother type look and said "Only if he is feeling better by then". Raven noded and went back over to were Chase was laying.

Shade walked into the hospital wing"hello madam pomfrey, hows chase doing"he asked looking around."wheres that trouble maker DM, is he still here."he looked and saw DM in a bed"oh."he then walked over where chase was laying. he slipped the note into his hand and closed it into a fist.he looked at raven"something for him to read when he wakes up"he said with a soft smile on his face.He looked with concern"are you ok, you seem sad"

"I miss being able to talk to him, he is like my bestfriend around this place..its hard not having your best friend around"

"i know how you feel, he'll come around"shade said with an absent look on his face"and when he does youll think your the happiest person in the world, being able to talk to him again.He thinks about you alot, almost more than me.i can feel him all the time, i can feel him now. he wants you to be as safe as i do."he looked at her."we both want whats best for you, and we dont want eneyhing to happen to you".he smiled halfheartedly"i wish my best friend was still here, i could use his advise right about now".

Raven smiled and gave Shade a hug "thanks"..."what happened to your friend?..if I may ask?"

"he was killed."he frowned."because of me."the look of absentness came over his face as he was lost in thought."It was stormy that ight, i remember it only like it was yesterday.we were going to an auror meeting for my debriefing on the auror massacare i told you about before, when we were ambushed by deatheaters.there bwere five maybe six of them. at the time i thought they were raw recruits. they started circeling us but i was to cocky so i let them, didnt even try to stop them, i thought i could take on the world and win.one jumped on him. it was an easy shot but i timed it wrong and i................i ended up hitting and killing my friend."he looks down a single tear dropping from his eye."i killed my best friend, three days before he was to turn twenty one and leave the service for good. ive never forgivin myself. i killed all the deatheaters slowely wanting them to feel my pain."he looked up."there wasnt even enough of them left to fill a bucket"

Raven walked closer to Shade and gave him a comforting hug "I am so sorry"

"you just dont know how much pain it would cause me if you died for the same reasons my friend did, if you get hurt because i cant protect you. i was going to die when voldermort stabed you in the forest."he looked at her"i couldnt keep living if i lost you"

"I am sorry, I wont try to be as foolish as that night....I dont want to see any of my friends get hurt or sad because of me"
