Wrapped in her light black fall cloak, Gemini made her way out of the school. She quickly past through the court yard and made her way across the bridge. Turning her head slightly, she looked out at the grey sky. It was probably going to rain soon, but that was the last thing on her mind at the moment. There was a a cool breeze that past through her shoulder lenght blonde hair as she began walking down the hill towards the Dark Forest.
Desending the steps, she looked around for a moment to make sure that no one was around. With the majority of the school being inside, huddled around the fire, she knew not to suspect someone learking around. Her black shoes made a slightly clicking sound as she stepped on the stone stairs. Other then the natural noices coming from the forest, no other sound could be heard. When paying the stairs attention, it seemed like they last forever as apposed to when your walking to class not paying them any attention.
When she finally made it to the bottom, she turned towards a small path that lead into the forest, Gemini was extremely releaved. With one last look around she quickly stratted through the path not sure where in the forest she was going to. So far it was quiet and deadly silent like it had been for a while. She neared a small clearing that she usually went to when wanting to keep things private and to herself.
Entering the small clearing she took a sat on a log, placed there by her a while ago. When she had first discoverd the cleaning, she found it disgusting to even think of sitting on the ground. Crossing one leg over the other, Gemini wrapped her cloak around her legs and pulled out a small bag. She was about to open it when a noise up the path caught her attention. She stopped and waited to see what it was.

The long black cloak that flowed behind him was tearing here and there slightly while walking along the forest. It seemed his explorations of the forest were once again a bore to him. It seemed that lately James was more secluded from the world with his thoughts lingering around nothing. The well groomed and very attractive young lad was always known as a loner. Not many would guess he had friends around her but James did have pretty good friends around here. The natural born werewolf enjoyed the night life especially in the forest.
Once James made it past the mesh of the forest and into a small clearing he was sure that his ears had picked up on another sound that was well heard. 'Must just be the usually noises in the forest I'm hearing at the moment' James thought to himself. Shrugging the thought out his head, he continued to wander around the depths of the forest while thinking to himself. 'The lone wolf as most people know me as and yet I find it intriguing how my life is so quiet and alone. It's bad enough I know I don't have a social life but to be downcasted that everyone has this knowledge that I am a lone wolf' James thought while determined to make a name or atleast prove that he was capable of living an actually social life.
Once he passed another clearing in the forest, this time he was sure that he heard something so he stopped. Those brooding soft brown eyes of his looked around until he spotted something that looked like someone else was in the forest.'Can't be someone else? Can It?' James thought before heading in the general direction of the lone occupated in the forest along himself. Once he reached another clearing it was well observant that he was know in the company of another. "Hello" James spoke softly while sure that this person was capable of hearing his voice even if he was quiet.

When Gemini had head the rustling in the bushes she had quickly stuffed the bag into her pocket. Instead she pulled out a brown paper bag that was full of candy. She felt like having something sweet as she waited for whoever it was to appear. At first she thought that it could be an aminal. With all the things that lived in the wood.
She had been here many times and it was not likely to find and animal walking around so openly in a clearing. When she was deeper in the woods there had been occasions where she had encountered one of hte many stupid animals that inhabited te woods. Shaking her head slightly as she tried to get rid of the thought, Gemini looked to the direction where the noise had come from.
Why would someone be in the forest at this time of night. Let alone in this part. It wasn't a well known area, seeing as some of the corneres were overgrown. Gemini liked coming her because till now no on had stumbled upon her. She was glad for that because she could do anything without anyone knowing. She raised an eyebrow when she say someone come out and greet her. "Hello..." she replied back wondering who it was. With it being dark it was hard for her to make out the person.

Observing the stranger for a moment, it was clear that it was indeed a girl that was sitting before him. It wasn't everyday that one stumbles out deep into the forest and comes across a lone girl this deep. eaching into his pocket, James grasped his wand before pulling it out. "Lumos" James said softly before the tip of his oak wand lite up to illuminate the handsome facial features that was his face. Looking more at the girl before him, his eyes finally seemed to see who it was.
Gemini Malfoy was someone he knew well enough to be friends with and someone who's company he enjoyed. It wasn't like they were the cloesest of friends but it was enough to atleast enjoy each other's company. Some people would question James' loyalties since most of his friends were in Slytherin but it was just those few that he was friends with in Slytherin that had given him a clue that he wasn't a loner like everyone thought. 'Glad it's a friendly face I've come across, heck I'm more grateful that it ain't a full moon or'd I'd be such a terrible beast at the moment' James thought to himself.
"How are you Gemini?" James proceeded to ask her while he was sure that she saw his face from the light of his wand. Ruffling his hair in a slight sign of relief at the moment, James muttered the nox spell while the light of his wand distinguished while his eyes adjusted back to the darkness. It seemed quiet for once or atleast quiet to him. 'Not a creature stirring at the moment, maybe they smell the werewolf's blood I have within myself' James thought to himself before looking back at Gemini.

Gemini covered her eyes with the back of her hand when the light from the wand was shawn in her face. She hated the light of a wand lit in her face specially when it was dark outside. She had always gotten a wand pointed at her with an intense light when she got caught sneeking around the castle. Ever if she was a Perfect that didn't mean that she wasn't going to break the rules. What fun would it be.
She looked at the person through her fingers and noticed that it was James Lupin. Yes he might be a Gryffindor but there was something about him that caused Gemini to want to befriend him. He was the only Gryffindor she considered a friend. Her parents weren't aware of this and she wasn't planning on tell them. Heck they didn't know about half her friends. It was better that way, she knew her fathers feeling about anyone that wasn't a Slytherin. She had the same ones but there were a few people that she made exceptions for.
"Extatic, having a wand pointed at my face is a constant joy." she told him sarcastically. She wasn't really pissed off, if it was any other Gryffindor she would have showed the wand where the sun don't shine. When he turned the wand down she was extremely glade and rubbed her eyes before reaching for the bag she had earlier. Pulling it out she took the rum bottle in it and uncorked it draining some of it. "I'm fine, care for a drink?" she offered the bottle to him.

"Extatic, having a wand pointed at my face is a constant joy."
"Sorry about that, just wanted you to see who it was your speaking with and I surely wanted to see who I was speaking with" James said with a small grin. It wasn't that he meant to flash the light in her face since he was just curious to see who was out here. James was the lone boy craxy enough to head into the forest without telling anyone since he was sure that most creatures probably smelled the wolf's blood within him. The forest was always a peace giver to him since it allowed him to relax and enjoy the quietness.
"I'm fine, care for a drink?"
Spotting the bottle of rum that she pulled out and took a drink of it, James grinned slightly once she asked him if he wanted a drink. Some may be surprised at the things James did weither it was gettig drunk or just keeping to himself so how could he pass on the opportunity to have a small drink. "Sure I'd like a drink" James replied to her with a soft smile. It seemed this evening was going alright to him and something that was enjoyable for once.

Gemini took another swing from the bottle. "Yes thanks for that, I would have done the same to you in order to see who it was. You can never be too careful." she told him pushing some of her hair back. She liked to come here when she wanted to be alone and to drink. It wasn't smart because she would drink herself to the point of passing out and she would wake up sometime the next day freezing cold for having stayed out all night long. Shifting slightly she proceeded to sit cross leggeded on the log. It was a sitting position she liked because she could get away pretty quickly.
Handing him the rum bottle, which was 3/4 full, Gem pushed some of her hair out of her face and looked up at him as he was drinking. That was another thing, no Gryffindor knew how to have fun. They were too good and pure and she hated that. James Lupin seemed to be different. If he willingly drank rum in the middle of the night somewhere in a forest, then he was good enought to talk to. "How do you like it?" she asked, she hadn't had rum in a while and it was strong.
