`` This Will Only Hurt A Little Bit

It was a particularly dark night in the Forest, the moon was completely dark, and there was a slight breeze in the air. It was indeed a nice night to be outside, but not for the reasons that Julia had. She wasn't particularly excited for this task, but she was a bit eager to see how it turned out. She was also quite nervous; what if Jack escaped? She knew the possibilities were great of the girl escaping, which was what worried her. Jack was greatly known as a prankster, which meant that she must have many tricks up her sleeve to outsmart her. Julia had noticed a few of her followers already with their hostages, which made her feel a little behind. She had spent the entire month prior to the meeting day making a polyjuice potion, and took some hairs from one of Jack's quidditch mates.

Once Julia had convinced Jack to go somewhere where no one could easily see them, she had used a certain spell to make her hostage pass out. Once she knew Jack was out cold, Julia levitated her into the forest and placed her in a large cage she had set up prior to the capture. She didn't want to be so mean to hostage by tying them to a tree or something of that sort: Julia certainly wasn't that type of person. She had decided to give Jack a little freedom. The cage was of a very thick and heavy steel, the bars were set close together, so Jack couldn't escape through that way. She took away the girl's wand, but also spell-proofed the steel arena, just in case she knew some basic wandless magic. Julia carefully set Jack inside the cage, "I'm sorry..." she quietly mumbled under her breath, and closed the large door, securing it with many large and heavy locks.

Julia whistled loudly to signal that she was finished with her hostage, and waited for Jack to awaken, or for more followers to arrive.

Jack stirred in and immediately realized what had happened. She sat up in a cage to see that the Quidditch mate she had followed (I sent you a PM regarding this) was slowly turning into Julia Traverse, leader of the Dark Followers. Jack plunged her hand into the pocket, also checking her sneaker, but found that her wand was gone. Her bag was still on her back though... Ooh, that would come in handy...

She grabbed the bars, though, and snarled at the girl. "Very funny, Traverse, but you better let me go. I can make you regret ever deciding to cross paths with me and you know I will." Despite Keith's reputation-ruining article, people still feared Jack. She had been in much worse situations than this and she was completely unafraid of everyone here at Hogwarts. None of them could hurt her more than she always managed to hurt herself.

The sky was growing darker as each moment passed, and Julia wondered when her hostage was going to awaken. At the moment, it was quite boring, and Julia found herself drifting in and out of consciousness while waiting for Jack. She was sure that things were going to get increasingly interesting when Jack woke up, but she wasn't too convinced at the moment. Julia began to question whether or not the task was a good idea; she was very self-conscious when it came to the group. She didn't want people to think that she was too cliche, but she also didn't want people to think that she was too soft. More than anyone else, it was Angelique that made Julia nervous. Angelique was one of those girls who would judge you with whatever you put out for yourself, so Jules had to watch herself closely when she was around the girl. She sometimes wished that she could be friends with Angelique, but she could never imagine herself anywhere near that. Unless Angelique somehow got a soft spot for Julia, there was no way they would be friends.

Sighing, Julia got to her feet, brushing off the leaves and dirt from her bare legs and white shorts. Already, she was getting dirty, and she didn't mind it too much, as long as it didn't get out of hand. Through the sound of the tree branches waving in the wind, Julia could hear her followers and their hostages having conversations with one another. They weren't exactly conversations, they were more or less arguments, and they were quite entertaining to listen to. In the distance, Julia could hear faint thunder. She looked above her head at the sky, which was barely visible through the leaves and trees, and saw very dark, gray, storm clouds. "Just great." She said to herself. She wasn't the biggest fan of the rain, especially when there were storms brewing. Honestly, Julia was afraid of storms, and with thunder and lightening added on to it, she often got extremely anxious.

Julia wished that she had someone with her. A friend, her brother, or Scorpius. Julia and Scorp were much closer ever since their night at The Three Broomsticks. She still blushed whenever she thought about it, and even giggled sometimes, but now wasn't the time to be thinking of then. Julia shook when she saw a slight flash of lightening and the faint thunder that soon followed, and shrugged on her sweater. She wondered what Scorpius was to her now. She wasn't sure if they were an item just yet, but she didn't know if she should still consider him just a friend, either. Their relationship was still confusing as ever, and she sometimes dreaded facing the problem. She wondered how Scorpius was doing with his hostage, and considered walking over to his site.

Before Julia could finish her thought, she heard a very familiar voice call her name. Finally, she thought, then witch has awoken. She smirked to herself and turned around, she wasn't sure what Jack had said to her, as another roll of thunder covered her voice. But she was sure she heard something that had to do with humour. "Oh, I know. It's such a knee-slapper. But, I hate to break it to ya, Angel," Julia began, her slight Gaelic accent becoming more audible, "but you're not getting out for a long time. Now, I don't want to hear any more of your extremely irritating voice." Silencio, she muttered, holding her wand toward the girl, the spell immediately silenced Jack, and Julia smiled, pleased.

"This is going to be so much fun, don't you think?" Julia grinned, and began to make a barrier that would protect her from the oncoming rain, almost immediately disregarding Jack's presence.

((Due to lack of time, I will use this account for both Kendall and Jack. I PMed you about the godmodes, so those should be fine))

Kendall had become bored of his hostage so he decided to venture out and find someone else to entertain him. The lovely Julia Traverse seemed to be alone, and also looking for her own form of entertainment and Kendall always delivered. He ran a hand through his mop of curls and put on a smile, calling out to her, "Hey Julia," as he approached.

He walked over to her and glanced at her hostage. "Nice cage. Stupid mudbloods, huh? Totally blind sighted by the plan." He grinned and gave her a flirty, charming smile. "Mine is so weak. He was incredibly easy to get down here too, pathetically easy to get anyway. I just picked him. Nothing special. What about this one? Isn't she that Potters Army brat?"


Jack opened her mouth to cuss the girl out, but no words came out. She stood, clutching the bars and shaking them, but stopped as a boy came. He began chatting to her and they turned around. Jack winced as she shook her head and felt something pinch her. Then she realized.... she had a hair pin tucked into her hair.

It was not a fashion accessory but another pranking tool. She reached up and yanked it out, red hairs still pinched in its wiry grip and immediately bent it straight. She stuck her head through the bars and wrapped her arms around, inserting the end of the pin into the lock, working it up and down, lowering her ear so she could hear the clinking of gears and levels.

CLICK!

The door swung open. Jack pulled up her knapsack and barreled towards Julia and Kendall soundlessly, leaping to knock into Julia. Kendall fell to the ground and Jack scrambled for her wand. She finally felt her hand close on the wand and she pulled it out, pointing at Kendall and thinking STUPEFY! He fell over and Jack sent a blasting charm towards Julia to knock her off her feet. Then she turned and tore off in search of others.

Stupefy- Stun

Julia laughed through the thickening rain at Jack's attempts to speak. She could only guess what the redhead was trying to say, and chuckled some more. "What's that? I couldn't hear you, could you speak a little louder?" Julia could tell that she was getting irritated, which added on to the humor. She sat back and spread herself out under her dry shield, enjoying the warmth that the precipitation brought along with it. After a while of relaxing, Julia heard footsteps heading her way. Without haste, she drew out her wand, pointing it directly in the direction that she heard the steps from. Immediately, she saw Kendall, the new, incredibly handsome boy from the followers.

"Oh, hey Kendall," She said, putting her wand away, "thanks, it was the only thing I could think of. I didn't want to hurt her at first, but now she's just bringing it on herself." Julia disregarded his flirtatious smile, she had heard stories about him, and she didn't want to fall under his "spell" of sorts. He was certainly a womanizer, if you could call it that. But she found it hard to resist him, so she went on, "She was fairly easy as well. I made up a polyjuice potion and took form of one of her Quidditch mates, then knocked her out. She just woke up, actually. She's quite feisty.

"But-" Julia cut off as she heard the screech of metal scratching against metal, the too familiar sound of the cage door opening. "Oh, SHI-" Before Julia could say anything else, she fell, hard, against the dirt. She coughed, as a result from the whiplash she felt, and looked behind her. She realized that Jack's wand was gone, and Kendall was stunned. She heard Jack send a blasting charm in her direction, and she quickly rolled to the side, dodging the spell by an inch. "KENDALL, YOU STUPID BRUTE!" Julia called out, after healing him with a simple spell. "GET UP, JACK'S GONE!" Julia got up to her feet and drew her wand, taking Kendall's hand, she charged for Jack. She was not about to let her get away, not after everything she went through already. Julia was determined.

There came another crash in the forest shortly after that, one of someone bursting through the thick undergrowth which inhabited this part of the forest, and landing on the ground with some force.

In this case, it was landing on the ground with some force, at the feet of Jack Dyllan. "Jack?" He asked, his voice trembling slightly, as he nursed the broken arm his captor had given him. "What's going on Jack?" He asked, noticing that Jack had been running just before he'd appeared

"Jack, behind you," he shouted, pulling his own wand out and pointing at the shrub of bushes behind his companion, which were shaking violently as if someone were running through them. It seemed as if this part of the forest was all interwoven, with one movement in any part of the foliage causing the whole thing to move.

Jack heard her name as she took off and she whipped her head around, running forward while looking behind her, something not advisable, especially in the Forbidden Forest. She looked forward to see a tree and she had to skid to a jerky stop, slamming her heels into the dirt. She pulled her wand to the ready as she heard loud noises but found it wasn't necessary.

Samuel collapsed at her feet. She reached down and grabbed his uninjured arm, helping pull him to his feet. She glanced behind her. "We have to free people and get the hell out of here. C'mon." She took off running, intent on completing her mission.
