If You Go Into The Woods Tonight

Logan Weasley [V]
Regulus Black [V]
Sophia Higgs [V]
Aubrey Davies [V]

“What the hell was that?” The Hufflepuff asked coyly to Regulus.

“Why don’t you go and check you stupid ponce.”

Sophia clutched to the side of Aubrey Davies like she was god, pulling when she felt a ting of fear run through her veins from the cold night air and the more then creepy howls the forest was providing. The Gryffindor stiffened her back and pulled away from her softly. “I’ll go check.” Her sneakers make a small sound as she wandered deeper into the brush, pulling the thick branches out of her way.

“That girl is crazed.”

“Oh shut up, Logan.” Sophia said whiningly as Regulus smirked. How the hell was it that he always got stuck with the Hufflepuffs and a Gryffindor. His brother was probably getting off easy on being able to stay inside the castle, but of course the young Black had to be outside on a night so cold his nose felt like it was going to fall off. Jhust another hour and they were allowed to go back, they just had to have that d**n leaf which they had found two hours ago, geez, the real punishment was standing in the bitter cold.

A terrified scream came and Regulus almost juped out of his skin but then again he was the first to go after it. Trying to find Aubrey while the other two trailed behind. “What the hell is you pr- oh.” He stared down at the bloody mess before him. What the hell was this? Oh god he felt like he was going to heave. He may have been a Black but he wasn’t heartless, at least not yet. Aubrey sank her head into his shoulder and her cries were muffled. “Shh… it’s okay.” He couldn’t keep his eyes from the blood even as he stroked the hair of the young Gryffindor. His comfort was endearing.

Logan and Sophia were petrified, they couldn't even cry, they just simply stood there watching the blood come from the bodies.





Logan Weasley was always clever, he used his resources to solve any problem that he ever came across but this was different. Regulus had helped him move the bodies, simply burying them into the ground and the four took a vow of silence as to what had happened. The most hesitant about that was of course Aubrey, her body hadn’t stopped shaking and even as Regulus held her hand and tried to calm her nothing helped, she was retreating into herself and quickly. The secret was the only thing that kept the four from having confrontation in the halls and being nothing but tyrants to each other. Aubrey and Regulus hold hands under the table during Potions, never together but they find subtle comfort from it, something that no one would understand, at least something that none of his brothers would understand. They were all so young and seeing it, seeing death so easily displayed was hard to deal with.

The Headmaster has of course looked over the four obviously changed students and from time to tie will try to figure out what had happened but it is a fairly forgotten subject. By fifth year this was just a horrible memory but they have learned to deal with but what will happen if this dirty secret comes to life all over again? The seperation of the houses has been starting and Logan and Sophia are separated from Regulus and Aubrey. While the Slytherin and Gryffindor grow closer with age. Their secret friendship and possible relationship have became on of the biggest secrets that Hogwarts holds.
