Out in the grounds...

*Harry runs out of the castle, wrapping his cloak tight around him. It's ruddy freezing and his teeth are chattering, but he can't seem to notice it

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! something was pulling Damascus down closer to the forest ground. He shouldn't have gone looking for Harry, he shouldn't have. This was the end. There's a reason this is the forbidden forest, he thought.

[h_james_p]

*Harry looked into the Forest. He was sure he heard something.*

Anyone there?

*Harry decided that if it's in the Forbidden Forest, it's probably dangerous. But that never stopped him before.*

Hello? Anyone here?

[masc_keagan]

It's me! **Damascus pulled himself up off the ground examining his newly torn robes**

Something was pulling me... **he looked blindly into the darkness**

What could do that kind of damage!? **his robes were torn to shreds from the waste down so he removed them**

[h_james_p]

*Harry jumped pulling out his wand as Damascus appeared.*

Fucking hell, Dams! Can I call you Dams hehe? What are you doing here? I thought some scary creature was walking around. But I wasn't too off was I?

*Harry turns around to leave but hears another rustle in the leaves behind them. Slowly Harry turns around to catch a glimpse of a large shadow dissapearing into the bushes.*

I'll be right back. Lumos

*Slowly, Harry follows the odd tracks the creature left.*

[masc_keagan]

Harry! ** Damascus runs after him grabbing at his robes**

Come on, let's get out of here! I don't think the creature wants company!!

[h_james_p]

*Harrys stares off into the distance and look back at Dams, then back to the forest.*

Ok ok! What a great sense of adventure you have!

[masc_keagan]

That's why I'm in Slytherin, Potter!

**Damascus lets go of Harry's robes**

Come on, let's go back up to the castle. I'm glad I found you. You can't just lie out here on your own.

[h_james_p]

*Walks out of the forest and towards the castle glancing at Hagrid's hut.*

Why'd you follow me? You thought I can't take care of myself?

[masc_keagan]

**Damascus sighs** I know you can take care of yourself, more than anyone... but you shouldn't have to. You shouldn't have to be alone all the time.

[h_james_p]

*Turns to Dams smiling then turns back and speaks looking ahead in a low tone.*

Thanks.

[masc_keagan]

Hey, no problem, mate. You'll find a lot of people feel the same way I do.

**Damascus pulls up his robes in front of him while he's walking**

They're in a right state... I'll have to dig out my old ones to replace this.

[h_james_p]

Sorry about that.

*They reach the castle gates and Harry pushes them open.*

A lot of people? Who?

[masc_keagan]

My sister for one. She's the one who turned me into a Potter supporter **he chuckles**. Reese likes you a lot, even though she'd not admit it unless you hexed her into it.

**Damascus shoulders his robes and looks toward the castle**

I'm sure Ron and Hermione feel that way, and of course Ginny since she's a Weasley. That ravenclaw boy, Zach. He's kinda odd, but he supports you.

[h_james_p]

I never thought of that. You really know how to make a boy feel special.

*Harry stops by the dungeons entrance.*

So, are you going to go down?

[masc_keagan]

Unfortunately. **Damascus turns to the dungeons and then back at Harry**

It was good talking with you. I hope you don't run off again like that. You gave everyone the scare of a lifetime.
