i looked around, then ran as fast as i could into the forest. fred had told me lots of stories abotu it last night (most involving him and george). he had promised to take me today, but this morning he had woken up with the flu. i couldnt wait for him to get better, so i decided to go on my own.
the smell of forest entered my nostrils. i closed my eyes, and i was suddenly in the forest by my ex-parent's small castle in the hills of scotland. i had come here daily to escape from them. some of my best memories were here. my mind suddenly took a dark turn. and some of the worst.
a shuffling sound in front of me alerted me to teh present. my eyes flew open, and i was back in the forbidden forest. only this time, i wasnt alone.
in front of me stood a skeletal horse. it had black wings and a black stringy mane. it snorted, blowing back my hair (pixie cut and bright green today) slightly. i reached out my hand and stroked it.
"what are you doing?" a voice asked behind me.
i jumped, turning to see the red headed boy, ron weasly, staring at me as if i were crazy. "why are you stroking air?"
"can you really not see it?" i asked.
he shook his head. "you're fina, right?" he asked after a moment. "fred's dating you?"
"yeah. you're ron, right? no one's dating you?" i said quickly.
he flushed. "i dont want a girlfriend," he mumbled. "really, are you just stroking air?"
i shook my head impatiantly. "no, stupid. its a horse. well, a skeleton horse, really."
"you're crazy. demented. mentally ill," he said.
"please, do contenue. you do know how to make a girl feel quite lovely when you try," i said sarcastically, turning back to the horse. it was much more interesting.
