Friends and water friends

"I have heard from you since the festival Dakota. You haven't answered any of my owls and you certainly haven't tried to contact me. You just disappeared," Vaughn said getting to his feet and looking at Dakota straight in the face. "I told you that I would handle Casey at the Festival but you didn't listen. You were cruel and hateful towards her. I don't want to be with someone who's sweet with me but completely different with someone else. It's not fair nor is it right. You may be a Slytherin but you don't have to be cruel and hateful towards others."

He grabbed his things and headed out of the area, walking away quickly angry. He never wanted to have this confrontation but then again it was always inevitable. He walked towards the forbidden forest and hit it at a run hoping to get far enough in. Finding a tree with limbs that were perfect for climbing, he hoisted himself up before settling on the seventh branch up and hid in the leaves.

Dakota felt her heart breaking. SHe wanted to go after him. SHe was about to break into a run when Sierra grabbed her arm. She pushed her cousin away from her, "NO SIERRA! I cant lose him!" She said kicking off her heels and running after him. She got to the edge of the forest and hesiated before running into it, "VAUGHN!" She shouted and heard something rustling in the bushes. She thought it was Vaughn so she ran towards it. But it wasnt. A huge wolf tackled her to the ground and she screamed. She tried tow restle with the creature but it was stronger than her.

Vaughn heard Dakota scream so he quickly climbed down the tree and ran towards her. Seeing that there was a wolf on top he ran faster and ended up tackling the beast off of her. He started wrestling the beast rolling about on the ground. It's claws caused a gash in his shoulder then he finally got him off tossing him over to the side but the wolf ran at him again. Vaughn took off deeper into the woods leading it away from Dakota. Seeing the wolf hot on his tail he missed the hill in front of him.

He slipped down the hill rolling hitting rocks before finally hitting his head on a tree knocking him unconscious. The wolf hadn't seen it either and went rolling down the hill but was stopped further above when it hit a group of trees. He fell all the way down to the bottom still unconscious from smacking his head. Blood flowed free from the gash in his shoulder and also from the back of his head. He had scrapes all over his body but he was breathing normally.

Dakota watched as Vaughn ran. She had to make sure she was ok. She took off after him and slid over to him when he stopped rolling down the hill. She began to immediately do cleansing and healing spells on his injuries. She had tears in her eyes and a huge gash on her forehead. But she didnt care just then. The only thing she cared about was making sure she was ok, "Im soryy I left. Im sorry for how I acted at the festival. Im sorry for it all." She said crying her eyes out. She needed Vaughn more than he understood. She wiped her eyes causing a bit of dirt to stay on her face as he hands were dirty from wrestling with the wolf

Athena gasped at the sight before her. " Vaughn! "said Athena as she ran after him with worry in her blue eyes. She looked at the scrapes all over his body and cried. " Oh my god Vaughn! "said Athena crying at the sight of him. Athena gotten out her wand and started healing Vaughn the best that she could, but she could only do so much. Reaching into her bookbag she started getting out her first-aid kit and started healing his cuts the muggle way. She knew how to heal people the muggle way due to her mother being a muggle nurse. 


Athena was putting bandages on him and and then seen the huge gash on his forehead and gasped at the sight of it. It was quite deep and she knew that he would probably have to go to the hospital wing for that. Hearing a groan, Athena looked up at Vaughn and seen that he was slowly starting to wake up. ” Vaughn can you hear me? "Athena asked him softly but curiously as she seen him opening his eyes she smiled.

Vaughn heard voices and groaned because they sounded too loud. He opened his eyes but couldn't see anything but blurs, he closed his eyes again. His head felt like a ax split it open and his ribs hurt like they were either bruised or broken. He breathed slowly but made sure he didn't do deep breaths because it hurt to much. He knew that he wasn't going to be walking away with this one and tried to open his eyes again.

This time he was able to open them to only a small slit, he started feeling dizzy so he shut his eyes. Clearing his thought softly, "You need to get a professor. I won't be able to stand I'm too dizzy and my vision is blurred. See if you can get Professor Selwyn, he's the closest to the forest." He said his voice sounding rough like he'd been yelling. Which he may have been but doesn't remember when. He knew he had a concussion.

Dakota stared at the girl and glared, "You get Professor Selwyn. Ill wait here with him." She held Vaughns hand and helped him sit up a bit. She nuzzled his chest softly and cried a bit more. She didnt even know if he knew it was her with or not. "Baby, Im so sorry." She did a few more healing spells until there was no more that she could do. She wiped her eyes and looked at the girl, "Hurry up and go! We need a professor!" She wasnt trying to sound mean or rude, but she was terrified right then. She needed Vaughn to be ok

Selwyn knew if he was working in a muggle high school, he would not be dealing with children almost killing themselves over love. At least, not so long as he was in the UK. Americans were pretty crazy from what he'd heard.

He hurried after the girl who'd told him about the accident in the Forbidden Forest. Those kids were old enough to know better than to go in there by now, surely?

The centre of attention was Vaughn Hunter, who to be honest, Selwyn felt a bit sorry for. The poor kid had obviously grown up a bit faster than he was ready for and didn't know how to deal with the girls fawning all over him. He reminded Selwyn a little of himself.

Then there was the Slytherin, Dakota who Selwyn would have sworn had left for Beauxbatons or something this year. Apparently she was just late back from holidays? Whatever. She was crying, which was her usual modus operandi and didn't surprise Selwyn at all.

"It's okay, everything's going to be all right."

Dealing with Adrienne over the break had taught Selwyn that sometimes, being kind got better results than his usual brusque manner.

"You're going to have to move, Dakota," he told her. "Now I want one person to tell me what happened. Preferably objectively, with no interruptions."

As he knelt down to examine the boy's injuries, he knew that was probably too much to expect.

Dakota hesitated before moving. She was shaking with fear and sadness over the whole situation. "Basically, I saw Vaughn kissing the girl over there. As far as I knew, he was still my boyfriend. SO we got in an argument and he ran for the forest. I wanted to talk to him so I chased after him. Then a wolf attacked me and Vaughn got it away from me. But he got hurt in the process. I did as many healing spells as I could." Dakota was starting to fell dizzy due to blood loss from the gash on her forehead. She sat down and held her head

Selwyn cast a stasis spell on Vaughn, which would at least help get him up to the Hospital Wing without exacerbating his injuries.

Then he turned back to Dakota and healed the cut on her forehead that he hadn't noticed when she'd been too busy hunched over her boyfriend.

"What happened to the wolf?" he asked. "And I need to know what healing spells you cast on him."

He then approached the other Gryffindor.

"If you're okay, you can go back to the castle," he told her. "You can head up to the Hospital Wing and get a calming draught for yourself if you think you need it. If not, just tell the healer I'm bringing these two up to be checked out."
