Lee looked at the two people in charge, and was a bit irritated. " I would not lick that, thank you. As far as my question...?? any special containment needed, a preserved bag or anything to keep them fresh..? Or should I just wear them in my hair until we return..?"

Tamsin frowned. "We must stay as a group! Don't go running off wolfie boy!" She knew he could hear her no matter where he went there but still she promised Appoline. "Merlin you go up front and guide us through the route you know, I will stay in the back checking for anything strange or out of place. If anyone wants to go back to the castle, now is the time."

[edit] (OOC Sorry I didn't saw your question - so many post I am getting lost lol))

Merlin answered Lee. "I have a crystal to keep them unharmed on my bag, so you will give them to me. No need to carry them."

Drew was a bit surprised with Merlin spoke up. He did want to go into the forest. What he couldn't wrap his mind around however was the reason for it. What was wrong with just a nice outing without the flowers, the boy wondered. After all it was like Lee had pointed out...there was still plenty in the forest that was dangerous as well as beautiful.

As Mags spoke up, Drew half growled, "Like hell you will do the picking. You're not taking any chances not knowing how it might effect you." Drew seeing Magnus heading toward the forest went after the younger boy, Dodger at his heels. "Mags! No one stands a chance against you racing and you know it. So nope, no races. Besides, what if you run past one of the precious flowers?"

He had never disliked anyone as much as he did this woman at the the moment. So help me if anything happens to one of my friends, especially Mags, I'll find a way to make that nutter pay dearly, he swore to himself.

"Oh dont worry Lee, Im sure by the end of this I will be wearing them as pasties on my jubblies.." she rolled her eyes.

She was following Magnus. She could tell he was excitable. "Oi Bub, wait for the group...and I know you are probably hard to kill...just...think before you do somethin ok? I dont want Paul holding any of us responsible."

((Guess those Pics can go to the highest bidder and get a coffee machine for the house common room! ))

Millie and Emmett walked to the boarder of the Dark Forest. Millie asked Emmett, "Are you sure you won't get cold?" "Nah" he said. Zis mucher colder at Durmstrang. I'll be fine." The two joined the group. "Hi everyone Millie said cheerfully.

((ooc thanks merlin, thought you might have missed it)

Lee's eyes widened, then he blushed, looking at Charlotte. "I would like to see that," he said quietly.

Lee thought it over and quickly made his decision. He shifted down into dog form, not wanting to take any chances should something attack. After all, these kids obviously needed protecting..well, some of em anyway.

The huge dog turns its head and stares at the two of you.

Magnus frowned and sighed. He'd listen to the auror, so he stayed very close to the woods, trying to peer in. Though he was bouncing more and more with excitement. "I'm pickin' em Drew. I ain't afraid. Besides, it sounds a bit like Every Flavour beans... its Every effect flower." He giggled at his new term. "I'm sooo picking some." Excitement danced in his eyes.

He smelt Emmet and Millie, waving at them with his back turned. He smiled. "Nah, Paul won't be mad at you. I know 'im. Trust me please. sides, I'm cool. I ain't gonna leave the group." at least right now....

((OOC: I want a coffee machine for the common room!))

Merlin saw the newcomers. "Hello Milie, Emmet - we are leaving now so get anything you want to eat and follow us." Then added. "This is Tamsin, the auror that will come along." He made a face so she wouldn't speak up now and she smiled and stayed quiet and only nod to the two.

Merlin was getting a bit upset with the group and just said. "Just follow me, I come here all the time - it's not that bad as they say....if you know where to go. Just follow me through this path, it is short but will take us to the safest area, away from acromantulas." He giggled, that was not very helpful.

She looks at Lee "Im sure you would but...still the pics go to the highest bidder! HA!" she laughed...and looked at Ms. Tamsin "Well lets go crazy lemur lady...downt he rabbit hole and all!"

To Millie and Emment. "Hiya! Charlotte Buttons.." she introduced herself quickly.

At Magnus. "CHILD! I swears YOU WAIT FOR THIS GROUP or so help me!! Im going encase you in COTTON CANDY!!" she knows she saw Mags peeking a toe into the woods.

"Oh for heavens sake Lee...Yous a dog again...cookie..you got to stop doing this!!!"

She looked at Merlin. "Oh that is so not helpful you cheeky mook!"

Magnus shook his head and followed behind Merlin, not replying to Charlotte. He wasn't going in. Besides, he had gone in the forest before. He whispered to Merlin, "Finally. 'Onestly. Well, we know this place." For obviously Merlin had wandered in there too.

Lee dog woofed at Charlotte, and sniffed towards the forest.

Drew rolled his eyes at Magnus' excitement. "You are nuts," he said but with a smile. It was on the tip of his tongue to ask if Magnus hadn't learned anything yet about seemingly harmless adventures, but he didn't. Instead he laughed as Charlotte threatened the younger boy. "No good, Lottie," he said. "He'd eat his way free and be gone before you could say nutter." His eyes twinkled.

Seeing Lee shift into his big dog form, Drew nodded, hoping they wouldn't need the extra protection.

As Merlin mentioned the acromantulas, Drew shuddered. Please please please don't let us see any of those things, he thought.

To Lee "I know...I know. act like were over-reacting, we aint from here...like to see how they react with things from our area..." she rolled her eyes and started to walk with Lee her hand on his shoulders.

She looked at Drew and shrugged. "I aint scared of a forest...but like you said...seems sketchy"

As Millie and Emmett joined a group, they saw Lee turn into a great big dog (). Emmett muttered in German, "I wasn't expecting that." Millie squeezed Emmett's arm.

"Hey Magnus () and Merlin ( )" Millie said. "Hallo Magnus and Merlin. Gut to see you both" Emmett added.

"Hello. It's nice to meet you, Tamsin ()." Millie said. Emmett gave a polite nod

Lee dog turned his head and licked Charlotte's hand.

Lee dog looked directly at Emmett when he spoke German, as if he understood.

((OOC: OMG I PINGED MYSELF! ROFL))

Merlin walked forward and begged to himself not to trip for once and walked like a doe in the forest ground. "If we go through these thin woods, it takes us to a lower level, careful not to hit your heads with a log that is right..." he ducked. "Here." he jumped and ended on a lower ground. "See this? It's simply stunning!" the view was something beyond normal, the light went through the leaves of the enormous trees above them, that seem like they never loose their leaves even during the winter. "This is one of my favorite views. And smell this scent is...wow." He continued. "During spring the smell of the flowers is simply amazing, you would go crazy Mag."

((OOC: Tardis: This is Tamsin))

Tamsin walked behind the group and couldn't help to noticed they all seem to dislike her so she sighs.

(( lol...Im not Tamsin...Im Charlotte Buttons XD but its ok...new...She smells of fruity sweets constantly has a long fluffy black tail and furry ears...just so your awares))

She gave a half smile to Lee "Dont think I havent thought my sweet smell might attract some things too..."

((OOC MERLIN...I WANT ONE TOO!! BUT DARN IT...HIGHEST BIDDER...annnnnd its Lee...LMAO))

"This is sooo exciting," he said to the couple. Then he giggled to Drew, "Damn right I would. Sides, how often do we get invited to go in 'ere...and this adventure--who knows what we can find. It's brilliant. Think of what we'll tell the others years to come. And if we 'ave to stay in the 'ospital wing for two weeks I'm sure we won't 'ave to make up the work." He was beaming excitedly. He was enjoying the sights and the scents. "I bet. The scents are amazing." (magnus likes the auror :P)

(( I've done that before LOL)

Emmett and Millie walked with the group. Lee the dog had looked at him as if he understood German. Emmett patted his pockets and found his dog's tennis ball. "Here you go" he offered it to Lee () unsure if he was going to take it

((ooc yes !! I won !! ))

Lee-dog continued to follow their prefect, making sure to stay alert to any sudden sounds or smells. His top priority of safety was resting her hand on his shoulder, and he made certain he walked slow enough to match her stride. Yes, her scent might attract a lot of things.

Merlin was right, the view was beautiful, and the smells even this late were wonderful.
