James thought that he could spare some time for a nighttime stroll. After all, he was a prefect. Oh the joys. He wouldn't even get into trouble if he was caught on the grounds after six. He strode down, actually up, the steps leading from the cold and dank dungeon to the front gates of the Great Hall. Dimly lit torches lined the walls randomly, some high up, some others beneath his ankle. It was quite odd, though.
Just when he thought that he could sneak back in, a professor caught him. Trying to keep his cool, he gave a charming grin at the professor. Not that it would help, anyway. "Ahh... Lockwood. Just the person that I was looking for." the professor said, clutching James's arm. "And what may that be, Professor?" James said with the tone of authority. The Slytherin listened to what he said. Apparently he had to escort some Gryffindor around his age to the forbidden forest to do something that he couldnt care less for.
The professor led him to the front part of the dark forest. Now all he had to do was wait for that stupid Gryffindor who landed him in this mess.

Nix stood outside the forbidden forest and tapped her foot ,"loving that timing nixie" she muttered to herself as she spotted two figures walking towards her. She'd been going back to her common room from qudditch practise with her broom over her sholder and her wand in her hand when she'd spotted a group ,there were about 5 slytherin boys huddled together and just as she'd walked past she'd heard a whine and then span round. There was a small blonde girl surrounded by the group and her eyes were watering, with only a seconds thought she'd flicked her wand forwards and sent two of the boys blasting back across the corridor and then the others had turned.
She'd had a few spells fired on her And fired 4 back and all the boys were down on the floor or bent over, but then nix had turned round to see a very annoyed looking professer. Within moment she was in detention and half the house points she'd won from the last match were gone, plus she was told she'd have to have a tagged buddy while she did her detention ,just so she couldn't run off again. She hadn't even had time to change out of her qudditch stuff

The Slytherin's eyes moved around the dark forest. He couldn't imagine that a professor managed to spot him, even through the dark. Green and silver did not stand out in the dark. Especially if they were matched with black. His eyes weren't just moving out of boredom. They fell on someone. Someone still in Quidditch robes. James rolled his eyes. Apparently changing out of robes was just way too much for that Gryffindor to do. He then realized why the Gryffindors were in third place on his last count.
"Hey! You!" James shouted at the girl, not looking at all pleased. He knew that most people would just simply roll their eyes if he tried to do anything "prefect". But he was skilled with a wand. He wouldn't care if he was sent to detention or not. "So you're that person who landed me in this mess." he grumbled, glaring at the girl with dark eyes.

Nix felt her eyes narrow as she spotted the professer and other boy, firstly he was a boy and secondly he was a slytherin which added up to nix to mean this was not going to be any fun at all. She muttered darkly to herself and then the boy called over to her and she bite her lip to keep from snarlig at him. She shook her head ran her hands through her hair again and then waited on the professors reaction ,"do I get both of you or just the nice freindly lad you've bought with you now?" ske asked with venom dripping into her voice as she spoke, now this didn't seem to be going well at all

James chuckled darkly at what the girl was doing. Oh, he was going to have some fun with her. Add sarcasm with that. He grinned at the girl, trying to keep his face innocent until the professor finally left them. Keeping his ears open to what the girl said, he finally saw the chance of the professor leaving. "Watch your tongue Ms. Night. You wouldn't want another detention, would you?" the professor stated, backing away from the pair of students. "Mister Lockwood, here, would accompany you to the forest. Lockwood, do your best not to take your eyes off of her." The professor turned for the castle again, making James give a sigh of relief. Now to the fun part.
James smirked at the girl once the professor left. "I'm supposing you don't know who I am, and I don't know likewise. Shall we make this more... formal?" he asked politely.

Nix rolled her eyes and saluted as the professer walked away and then ran her hand through her hair and looked the slytherin over ,"me and formal don't mix, the same as me and slytherins don't mix ether" she said sharply and then looked into the forest and smile to herself. "I'm meant to, no i mean we" she corrected herself with a smirk ,"are meant to go in here and have a look around, they have been finding blood for a while and they want to know firstly what it's come from and secondly why it's bleeding in the first place" she said looking into the trees.
She dropped her hand into her robe pocket and took out her wand and then paused and rubbed it against her arm for a moment and then flicked it in her fingers so it slid into the centre of her palm and then flicked it quickly ,"lumos" she said quickly and the tip of the wand lit up and sent light bathing over the dark grassy floor and then looked up at the boy again ,"you going to inset on knowing my name or can we get going before we start working on name?" she said with another smirk

James smirked casually, hinting that he didn't care a single thing about what the girl just said. Was he an idiot, or did he just say something wrong? Either way, whatever was said was said. And it would destroy his reputation if anyone found out that he said something unnatural. "Of course," the Slytherin said, staring at the girl. "Do some thing in the forest yadda yadda yadda. I definitely understand" he stated sarcastically. He walked towards the forest. "Well, if you wouldn't want to tell me who you are, I'll do likewise. I do suggest, though, we don't speak at all." James said darkly, crossing his arms across his chest. If he was staying there for the night, at least he knew the face to blame.

Nix couldnt help but laugh ,"I know that attitude, I've been told about you" she said with a chuckle and then stopped and turned to face the boy ,"male, cocky, prefect, doesnt care" she recited and sniggered ,"I'll take it your mr Lockwood" she said with a smirk. She turned away from him and cast her wand around herself and then nodded and took a few more steps forwards and then looked back over her sholder ,"now you gotta work out firstly how I know you and secondly who I am" she said with a mischievous grin and then she heard a faint yelp and paused and shook her head ,"mind tricks" she muttered to herself

James rolled his eyes at the girl. Apparently he chose the wrong night to step out of the castle and go wandering around. He half-heartedly listened to the girl. "Yes. I am." he said calmly, keeping his voice down. No, he didn't want to go all 'prefect' and such, seeing as this girl was already in trouble. The girl said something again, her grin being unmistakably obvious. "Well, as you said a few seconds ago, I don't care. Okay?" he said, snatching his wand from his pocket. He followed the girl again, making sure that he wouldn't make a fool of himself.

Nix sniggered, she couldn't help it. There were some types of boys it was just fun to annoy and it seemed hat ange had been right in saying James lockwood was one of them. She flicked her wand as she moved through the grass and felt it get taper as she moved further in to the trees and then paused as a howl ripped through the air. She knew changing right now would do her no favours but she also knew werewolves were dangerous ,the wing brushed through her hair and she shook her head and looked down at the ground ,"you imagined it nixie, it's not really any one you know" she said quietly

James stared at the castle. Yes, he really should not have left the common room. His life would have been so much better that way. And he would not have met this girl, this Gryffindor. He doubted that he could bear being with her for the next few minutes, possibly hours if things got out of hand. "What now?" he asked harshly, clenching his teeth together. Maybe if he showed anger they would manage to move quicker. "How about we just split up and search for whatever we're supposed to search for?" James queried, hoping that he'd get away with his plan.

Nix rolled her eyes and then stopped and turned back to the Slytherin boy ,"if you want to go up against some nice unfriendly centaurs or werewolves alone then be my guest kiddie, I for one would be a lot happier if I came across one of them ,if I had someone near me to cover my back" she said and then laughed quietly as she remembered the howl from before, she shook her head and turned away from the boy again. "We are meant to be finding a student, he wandered off this morning and hasn't come back ,they think he's just forgotten to come back but it's still a risk to leave him out here" she said, pretty much reciting what the the teaher had said to her as she had walked down towards forest

James followed close behind, though seriously wishing that he had stayed behind in his common room. The lovely green-ness of the Skytherin dungeon always made him feel better. And it was a great place to stay when he felt that hanging around with his best friend, who was in another house, seemed to get out of hand.
"Well, then can we hurry up and get to the forest?" he spat at the girl, looking at the stars above him. At least, he knew that he had some sort of light to help him get out of there as soon as possible.

Nix rolled her eyes as she walked through the trees and then she waved her wand and it went out and she was plunged in to darkness as a third howl ripped through the night air. Her hands curled up and she felt pain shot through her head, the burning heat if her change burned through her brain and she felt dizzy and tipped forwards on to her knees and gave a groan as shefelt her ears pop out of her head. She reached a hand up and brushed her fingers through her hair and over her dark sleek ears and sighed as the fire of her change sapped away and the pain she hadn't even noticed in her back flicked away too and her tail flicked it behind her, she could hear the breathing of the howling beast now but she also knew if the slytherin saw her like this and really was like ange had told her he was, she was going to be in yet more trouble

James walked through the forest with the girl. He really should not have been there. Really really really. He heard the howl of a wolf in the distance. He never liked wolves. They were just... creepy. He didn't like it there. And what was worse was he was stuck with the worst kind of gryffindor. He actually preferred angeline over being in the forest with a girl he was about to hate.
