Autumn was feeling veryyy good. Maybe running into a wall was all she needed to shed her exam fears. >__> The Gryffindor strolled down a Corridor, looking around at the pictures. It was creepy, because all of the guys in the pictures were either glaring, or snarling, or something along those lines. Autumn scrunched her nose at one portrait who was being rather loud.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU ARE NOT WELCOME, MUD-BLOOD GRYFFINDOR!"
Autumn dropped her jaw and stormed over to the portrait. "I AM A GRYFFINDOR AND PROUD OF IT. I AM NOT A MUGGLE BORN, I AM A HALF BLOOD. DEAL WITH IT. AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A MUGGLE BORN. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF, WHOEVER YOU ARE! NO WONDER THEY PUT YOU DOWN HERE, YOU NEVER SHUT UP."
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU AREEEE???"
"I THINK I AM A GRYFFINDOR FIRST YEAR, BUDDY."
The portrait gasped and crossed it's arms, looking in another direction. "Brat."
"Old fart." Autumn replied, rolling her eyes as she continued her walk down the corridor. She felt oh so brave and strong and exciting and everything that her beloved cousin wasn't. [JK. I DON'T WANNA DIE.] She looked around at the other portraits and came across one that said, "Phineas Nigellus." That was funny. Autumn thought that he was once a headmaster of Hogwarts, and that every headmaster of Hogwarts had a portrait of themselves in the Headmaster's Office.
"Hello, there!"
Autumn looked back up at it with a funny look. She thought that this guy was mean. Or so the books said. "Um... hi."
"You look extremely familiar." Phineas said, rubbing his chin. "Are you related to anyone from the Black Family?"
Autumn shook her head, "No, I don't think so."
"Who are your parents?"
"Cheryl Hardt and Michael Rathjen." Autumn blurted immediately.
"Hardt, you say?" The portrait said, still rubbing his chin. "I thought I heard that a member of the Black Family married a Hardt. And a Rathjen? My goodness, love, you are a Black descendant!" Autumn raised her other eyebrow at the thought of this. Was he CRAZY? I THINK SO. "Marius Black married Joanna Levesque. That's all you need to remember. Look it up."
She nodded and continued on her way, trying to forget about all of this. Before she knew it, she landed upon the Forbidden Corridor. HOT DIGGIDY DOG.

Kendra walked along the corridor, that usual skip in her step. Kendra was glad that it was may and summer was slowly approaching. The snow and the rain was fantastic but Kendra loved the sun nearly as much as she loved snow. Sun and Snow always seemed to bring the students closer together and it was the time that she met most of her current friends. The seasons always seemed to bring the best out of peoples personalities or in some cases the worst.
Considering the heat Kendra was quite unsure why she was spending her day in the dimly lit corridor. She had spent a little time outside with her owl but soon got bored after walking around the lawns a good few times. Approaching a corner in the corridor Kendra turned it to see Autumn who she had met a while ago. To start with Kendra thought that Autumn was having a full blown conversation with herself, it certainly wasn't hard to fool Kendra.
Approaching Autumn, Kendra noticed that she wasn't talking to herself but she was in fact talking to a portrait. Hearing lots of names was kind of confusing but once again it wasn't hard to confuse Kendra. "Hey Autumn" Kendra smiled hoping that she had interrupted the conversation. Since Kendra had approached they had stopped speaking and Autumn seemed to be thinking about something. "Not interrupting am I?" she asked looking up at the painting and then back to Autumn.

Autumn stopped in her tracks and looked to see who had called her named. She smiled and waved to Kendra, then walked over to where Kendra was. Which was where Phineas was. Hopefully he wouldn't fill her head with apparent rubbish this time... It was a while since they met in Hogsmeade, and Autumn hadn't seen very much of Kendra. "Hi, Kendra!" Then she looked up at the portrait, which [is what he had said was true] was probably one of her uncles or something. "Not really." Then she quickly looked away from Phineas so he wouldn't have an idea of starting another one of his wack-o conversations. Crazyyy old man... >__>

Kendra wasn't too bothered about the dimly lit corridor but the lack of lighting made some of the portraits look a little scary, maybe somewhat evil. Kendra had been to the forbidden corridor before and it was always dark probably because it was hardly ever used. Changing her glance to Autumn Kendra could see her approached her "Hi" she smiled as Autumn greeted her. Kendra watched as Autumn looked up at a particular portrait and looked away.
After quite a bit of thinking Kendra finally came to the conclusion that this was who Autumn had been talking to when Kendra had turned the corner. "So how have you been since I last saw you?" she asked sitting down and leaning against the wall. The stone flooring was quite cold but Kendra didn't really feel it concidering the rest of the corridor was quite cold too.
Kendra had first met Autumn back in Hogsmead when she spent the day looking for christmas presents. That was months ago and it really didn't seem that long ago that Kendra had met Autumn, but when she thought back it was indeed about 4 months ago.

PHINEAS WAS QUIET. OH MY GOSH. Autumn looked up at the flickering lights, then covered her eyes like those visors do. "Nothing much, really. I've just been going to classes and meeting new people like the typical good ickle firstie." She loved saying that. Ickle firstie! Ickle firstie! Ickle firstie! But she wouldn't be able to say that about herself for too much longer. That is, if she does well on her exams. "Are you nervous about the finals?"

Kendra had forgotten that Autumn was a few years younger than her. Usually Kendra only paid attention to peoples ages when she first met them. Then she forgot all about their age unless she needed to remember it for birthdays and stuff but that was usually only for close friends and family. "Cool" Kendra smiled. It seemed that Autumn had been doing more than her and it made Kendra feel like a bit of a lazy bum. All she had been doing lately was attending classes and not socializing with anyone.
"Finals?" she asked "I guess im a little nervous" Kendra was probably more surprised than nervous. She was quite surprised that she had managed to make it through the year without dropping out a couple of lessons in. Though this year she didn't have family troubles to attend to and she was prefect so she had to keep up her end of the bargain, going to class. "How about you?" Kendra asked "Are you nervous?" Kendra guessed that maybe Autumn was nervous due to her asking the question, but she could read minds she she couldn't fully confirm was Autumn was thinking.

Autumn scrunched up her nose, signifying 'yes.' "Kinda. I really want to be a Second Year, and I think it'd be fun to be prefect. Well, fun in the way that you have authority and responsibility. And I'd have to keep control of people like the usual prefects and heads do. And I guess to do that, you need good grades." She really wasn't sure if her grades were all that great, but she knew that she had sure tried. Autumn was afraid that she would lose her head and goof off here, but she shook it when she realized that she actually had to attend these classes to get a grade, so she hadn't missed a class all term! That had to say something about her determination, and all that jazz.

Kendra nodded "Being a prefect is cool so is second year" Kendra had never imagined that she would be a prefect and she felt extremely lucky to be given the opportunity even if it was for only one year. Kendra had no doubts that Autumn could make prefect. Autumn was a nice girl and she seemed to do really well in class, or from what Kendra had seen anyway. They would obviously have to wait till next term in order to find this out.
"I am sure you will make it to second year" Autumn seemed to attend her lessons and all that jazz so she was sure that it would all be fine. All they had to do now was wait and see. "How are you finding the finals?" Kendra asked wondering what other lessons Kendra took. Kendra could remember Autumn in charms class but she wasn't sure if they were both in any other classes together.

Autumn blew a few strands of hair out of her eyes when Kendra said Autumn would probably make it to Second Year. Atleast someone believed in her. After a few more seconds of her hair doing nothing, she finally gave in and pushed them away with her hand. "They're okay." Autumn said. "I think I liked the Care of Magical Creatures exam the best, since it was just questions." Then she nodded her head as she began reciting her classes. "I'm taking Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Care of Magical Creatures, and Transfiguration." Man, she had just said a mouthful.

Kendra nodded "Yeah that one was good" Kendra was glad that finals were now done and dusted for another term. The finals wern't always that bad it was just that people got themselves wound up about them (Kendra included) and it made them seem harder than they actually were. Kendra had never been too good with the thoughts of exams but if she were to be honest they wern't exactly examples anyway so she didn't understand why she and everyone got so worked up about it.
"That means we share two classes together" She told Autumn "Charms and Care Of Magical Creatures" Kendra had also taken Potions and Muggle studies this term. Kendra was still quite contented with herself that she had manged to make it through the whole term without any absences.

Autumn smiled when Kendra said that they had shared two classes together. Autumn remembered seeing Kendra in Charms, but knew that they had another class together. Even though Autumn couldn't remember the second class at the moment. Cool! "Awesome! Hopefully we'll have more next term." Then she looked down the way that lead them further into the Forbidden Corridor. "Wanna go further in?"

Kendra nodded "That would be great" She grinned. Kendra would enjoy the company of Autumn in her classes hopefully they would sign up for at least one of the same classes. Kendra had known a couple of people in her classes this term but she had usual sat by herself. Kendra didn't often come to this corridor but she quite like the fact that it was really quiet except for the occasional portrait muttering something to her or another portrait.
"Sure" Kendra smiled as Autumn asked her if she wanted to go further into the corridor. It would be good to have a look around and see if there was any little hide aways or secret in this corridor. Kendra was quite sure that there was because what was the point of making it forbidden if there was nothing to hide?.

Autumn smiled and faced the Corridor, excited to see what was down there. It was time to be sneaky. <__< >__> She started tiptoeing down the corridor, and Kendra followed. She looked at the walls to make sure that there wasn't anything that could come out and ruin their cover.

As Kendra and Autumn began walking down the corridor Autumn started to act differently. She was tippy toeing around and sneaking around corners. Hoping that a professor wasn't after them Kendra whispered "Why are we creeping?" she asked wondering if there was a reason for it. They were in the forbidden corridor and if you were caught there, there were consequences which may have been the reason for Autumn's creeping.
Kendra was a bit of a silly billy and she often didn't understand when people were being imaginative even though she had a pretty good imagination herself. Still walking normal Kendra contemplated what they were doing as she did not receive an answer from Autumn who was concentrating on keeping quiet "OH!" Kendra laughed realizing what they were doing "Sorry" She whispered and crept on tippy toes along side the corridor wall.
