Courtney looked back to see that Kenny was following her. Once he got close, she folded her wings and plummeted to ground like a stone. Once she was a few yards from the ground, she opened her wings and spiraled back up into the sky. Flying was so much fun. She let out a joyous screech and looped through the air, marveling at how fast she could go. This was her first real flying experience. She loved the feel of wind in her feathers. Then she did a sharp turn and flew back to Kenny, pumping her wings untill she raced the wind.

Kenny watched her spiral to the ground. He didn't repeat this; it was a feat tat he knew hawks could do, but a raven probably couldn't. "Wow," He cawed, "That was cool. A raven probably couldn't do that. And I thought you said you weren't really good at flying?" He flapped his wings to stay in the air. "Hawks and ravens are enemies in the wild, I'm sure. Let's fly away from the school; someone might see us and try to see why we're not killing each other." He swooped low to the ground and tucked in his wings for speed, shooting in amongst the trees. Banking, he gained some more height and flew above the trees, which had already lostmost if not all of their leaves. He perched in a branch close to the top of a tree; hopefully, with sharp hawk eyes, Courtney could see him.

Courtney shot of after Kenny. She pumped her wings as hard as she could, untill she was only a blur in the air. She flew above the trees; she didn't feel quite as good as Kenny when it came to flying in the trees. Then she spotted him fly out of the woods and perch on a tree. Slowing herself down, she perched next to him. "I thought I wasn't that good at flying either." she panted. "But I guess it was easier that i thought." She folded her wings and settled down on her branch. "how long have you been able to transform?" She asked, turning her head sideways so she could see him.

Even now, mortal enemies with a hawk as a raven, Kenny thought she was still beautiful. He felt the feathers on his neck get warm. "A long time," He replied, "I dunno. Since I was little. I used to talk to birds, I know that sounds silly. One time I found myself wishing I could just... fly away with the ravens, and I did." He remembered that moment. He had been feeding the ravens, his best friends because of his quiet nature. They cawed and pecked up the seeds. When his mother, his pure-blooded and strict mother, opened up the kitchen window and screeched for him to come inside and do the dishes, even though he knew she was perfectly capable of doing them on her own with magic, he wished he was somewhere far away. She left the window as the ravens flew away. I wish I could go with you... He thought, and felt his arms turn to wings and feathers grow all over him. He actually was a raven. "After that time, I just... practiced at it, until I could control it well. I'm... I'm not a registered animagus though, so... please don't tell anyone. I could get sent to Azkaban." He shuddered at the idea.

"Of course I won't tell anyone." She said. "For awhile I was unregistered, untill I could do more that one form." She tilted her head to the side. "The next form I'm going to practice is a wolf, I think." Then she turned and started to preen her wing. "Are you going to try doing any other forms?"

Ridc paused, unsure, as the book was shoved into his hands. As much as he loved books (and this one was very tempting to look at), he looked at Nora, confused. "Why would you give this to me?" he asked, almost ready to be joked with and return the book, as much as he didn't want to. His cat caught his eye and he looked up to see a raven flutter over the tree near them.

Kenny thought for a moment. "No," He decided, "Probably not. Most wizards and witches can't even take one form. How is it that you could take so many?" He asked, turning his jet head to one side. Because she's brilliant like that, He thought, but tried to push that thought to the back of his mind. Glancing at the cat, then Ridc, he let out a caw of laughter.

Courtney shrugged. "I dunno. When I was a child, my mom always told me that I had a gift with animals. Maybe that's why I can do so many forms." She ruffled her feathers and looked down at Ridc, letting out a soft cree of amusement.

Kenny nodded, and remained quiet for a moment. He was still watching the cat below, and decided to startle it. Spreading his wings, he swooped really close to it, hoping the cat would chase him. Right next to the ground, he gracefully shifted, coming to a halt kneeled on one knee. "Ta-da!" He said, stading up and laughing.

Courtney laughed and flapped lower to the ground, changing into her human form. She brushed back her hair from her violet eyes and smiled at Kenny. She liked him, in a not quite dating kind of way, but she had no idea that he had a crush on her.

Kenny met her gaze with his emerald green eyes, and thought about how beautiful those violet eyes were. A very rare sight. Glancing at his cat, Derrey, who proceeded to yawn and stretch on the ground, he watched a bee buzz over to the cat and land on his tummy. When Derrey opened his eyes and stared at the black-and-yellow bug sitting on his ginger tummy. Giving an alarmed yowl, he stood up and ran off into the woods. Kenny laughed, and Derrey stopped, climbing a tree and sulking.

Courtney smiled at the cat and stretched her arms over her head. Then she suddenly felt a strange shuddering, ominous feeling and quickly droped her arms and closed her eyes untill it passed. Then she opened her eyes again took a shaky breath. She was quivering. She had been having feelings like these for the past week or so. She didn't know what they meant but she wanted to find out. She glanced at Kenny. "Er... have you been feeling that something is wrong?" she asked him nervously. "Like, suddenly you have these moments where you feel something is about to happen that is very bad?"

Kenny watched Courtney, a chill running down his spine. "Yes," He said uneasily. "I think something's going to happen soon..." He shuddered. His stomach felt like it was going to explode. His cat watched him, seeming spooked, his tail fluffed out quite widely. Derrey took off at a sprint, flinging himself towards the school grounds. Kenny watched his cat go. He remembered that class would start soon - Defense Against the Dark Arts. So, Courtney would be there too. "Defense against the dark arts starts soon. Maybe we should head to class." Well, defending ourselves against dark arts. Maybe that'll help...

Courtney was relieved to hear that someone else felt that way too. She nodded at Kenny. "Yeah. Let's go back to the school." And she walked past Kenny in the direction of the castle, still feeling kind of nervous.

Kenny nodded. Derrey came trotting back to him with a meow, and he reached down to pet the ginger cat. Picking Derrey up, he turned to say, "I suggest anyone in Pheorani and Iltaica houses come to defense against the dark arts." With a laugh, he set Derrey down and streaked towards the school for class.
To: Class Time
