Mound of Dirt Hut

[Brian Garrett]

Brian creeped into into the forest, the looming figure of the castle at his back. Many of the students here were scared of the forest, not necessarily due to its inhabitants, but due to its mystery. To Brian, the forest was another home. He knew every nook in the brush. Every corner, every tree, and every hole in the ground had been documented in his mind. He knew it like the back of his hand...which had somehow come to bear a tattoo of Kelsey's face. He knew that she had probably had something to do with that particular prank. He slowly inched his way in. He wasn't frightened, nor was he nervous. He found that the slower a person moves through a dark forest, the more drama the scene creates. This must be some high-tension drama if that were the case. As soon as he got to within 150 meters of the center clearing, he stomped his foot twice. A pile of brush soon fell through what looked to be a very deep hole. Brian smiled and held up one finger to his 'audience' telling them to wait. "Wait for it" he whispered. In a few seconds, the entire hole was filled with dirt. In a few more seconds, there stood a glorious...mound of dirt.

Brian put on his best shocked face and pointed his wand at the pile of dirt. Immediately the dirt began to shovel itself out of the center, creating a little dirt mound hut. He had created this just a few days earlier, when Jadeian had given him the wonderful idea, unintentionally and unknowingly of course. Brian giggled like a first year and began to skip around his newly created secret hiding place. Oh the fun he would have from here. The hut stood about 6 meters off of the ground and was about 10 meters across on each side. "Who needs an apartment when you have...this!" he said, smiling. After a few more seconds of admiration, he sat down and scooted into the hut. There were a few bugs crawling in and out and a few rats scurried about. Overall it was well designed. "Masterpiece" he exclaimed, in awe. Within a very short amount of time he was sleeping on the carpeted floor of his mound of dirt hut. What a day it had been.

[Professor Serafina Butail]

Serafina just so happened to be wandering through the forest, not exactly sure why she seemed to spend so much of her life just walking around that place in some sort of daze for no apparant reason but the reason never seemed important. All she knew was at that time she happened to be in the forest, a place that held some rather fond and fun memories; but never before had she come across anything like what loomed out of the ground in the path ahead of her.

It was some massive mound of dirt, not just like a pile of dirt but it was carefully contructed in as much as a mound of dirt can be. Sera frowned for a few moments as she approached the large construction then a thought hit her. "Oh my god giant mutant termites have invaded the forest!" She shrieked, bugs were not exactly her favourite things and termites were just nasty, good at building stuff maybe but nasty and furniture eating.

She hurried towards the mound and with her wand she conjured a giant can of bug spray and proceeded to prod and poke at the mound of dirt spraying at it madly with the bug spray. "Come out you evil little bugs I'll destroy you all!"

[Brian Garrett]

Brian was watching a hilarious episode of Spongebob on his dirt tv when he heard a shrill shreak a little ways away. His ears perked up and he crept over to his window to look out at the disturber of his peace. As soon as he got to the window he saw a woman rushing towards his sacred hut with a huge can of something. He immediately freaked out because he knew that the can probably contained gasoline and that she meant to murder him by burning his hut to the ground. "Ahhhhhhh!" he screamed, running in circles around his dirt couch. As the woman approached he saw that it was Serafina. He was not too familiar with her, but he did know her as the Head of Gryffindor house. "Why would she want to murder me using gasoline?" he asked himself quietly, pacing. When she got to his hut and began spraying the clear gasoline all over his hut he ran out the back. He had put in the secret door just at the last moment. He then walked around to the front and spread his arms, closing his eyes. "Well, if you're gonna kill me, just do it." Brian sighed deeply, accepting his fate. "Come on! You're just making it harder on yourself by waiting!" he said.

[Professor Serafina Butail]

Serafina kept on spraying at the non-existant bugs, the sneaky little critters seemed to be hiding from her very well but she would find them, they were in there somewhere. She was paying so much attention to the task in hand that she didn't even hear the door open on one side of the mound of dirt and someone walk out, she really should have been paying better attention bad vampire no cookie for you. But the prospect of having an army of termites invading the place was not exactly appealing.

She was so engrossed in trying to wipe out the insects that she let out a yelp and jumped a mile when a voice suddenly spoke to her. Sera turned towards the sound and took in the appearance of someone who possibly should have been familiar, hadn't she seen him around the castle and what not sometimes before? But then he spoke about her trying to kill him now why would he do that?

Ahhh, Serafina smirked at him, she had him all worked out. "Kill you ooooh yes I'm going to kill you. See this clever little human disguise thing you've got going on here doesn't fool me. It's you isn't it you're like their leader, king of the mutant termites... Well you're not taking over this forest." She gripped the can of bug spray with renewed vigour and advanced on her new nemesis, you never could trust anything in this place with all the wild magic flying around.
