Kasey jerked when she heard a voice saying hello, she turned her lit wand towards the source of the voice and felt her heart beat escalate. She frowned when he addressed Seth and smirked, she knew the Slytherin's name now, that was something she had up on him.
A badger's meeting? She looked over to the other boy and widened her eyes when she realised he was a Hufflepuff. A smile crossed her face and she felt a little less afraid of the forest now. She moved her wand down a little and looked from one boy to the other.
She frowned as Seth barked at the other Badger and gritted her teeth, he had severe superiority issues.
What made her frown even more, was the way the other Hufflepuff seemed to cower from the Slytherin. She pursed her lips slightly and looked from him to Seth.
"Seth, was just about the answer that question." She said with a sour smile. "I'm Kasey." She looked from Seth to the other Hufflepuff and started to step towards him, extending her free hand to shake the other Hufflepuff's.

Sam stared at Kasey, flinching when she held out her hand. He was about to respond, before remembering the small issue of his fingernails. He smiled, shook his head, and shut his eyes. He could hear their heartbeats, almost see them. He wouldn't need to risk them seeing him in form. "Why a-are you hear, Kasey?" He asked gently, ignoring how she spoke to Seth.

He clenched his fists around his wand tighter then before as he heard that the other one had also gotten to call him by his detested first name, "My name is not Seth. It's Melville. Mel-Ville. It's two f*cking syllables, get it into f*cking your heads." he suddenly outburst, turning his head quickly between the two of them.
He turned away quickly, letting his anger simmer down and turn back into the cold tension of the forest. It was really starting to creep him out. "We're seeing what's here. Whether it be badgers, werewolves or whatever..." he muttered to them, still not making eye-contact.

Sam didn't flinch this time; he'd been expecting an outburst. "Th-There's nothing in the F-Forest besides Unicorns and Centaurs, M-Melville. You kn-kn-know that." Ow! He'd clenched a nail into his hand. Sam quickly licked the blood off it before anyone noticed his hands. He smiled at Kasey and, to an extent, Melville, to try and assure them without drawing attention. That was his worst quality... When trying not to draw attention he generally did.

Kasey frowned slightly and let her hand fall back to her side as the other Hufflepuff didn't shake it. "I'm here by force." She said looking at Seth. "I couldn't let him come in here alone..." She started. She stepped back a little and raised her eyebrows as the Slytherin cried out angrily.
She swallowed and frowned slightly. "Alright, settle down, Melville." She said gently looking around. She held her wand up, looking for any creatures that might have come at his anguish.
"We don't want any unfriendly attention do we?" She asked raising an eyebrow. She looked from Melville to the other boy and frowned. "what are you doing in the forest alone?" She asked tilting her head. She frowned at him slightly as he denied the existance of anything dangerous in the forest. If there was nothing dangerous then why was it so forbidden?

He turned to her, one arm still leaning on the blackened bark of one of the trees. "I'll settle down when I want to..." he hissed hotly, but a lot quieter this time. He was getting mixed messages from both of the Hufflepuffs; one was saying there was a whole range of evil, and the other was saying there was nothing. He'd have prefered to believe Sam, but found himself siding more with Kasey. He knew there were nastier things that lived here - you didn't have to attend many COMC lessons to know that.
He turned to Sam, interested to know his answer to the question. He frowned, suddenly concerned against his better judgement. There was something about him that didn't look right, but he wasn't about to break his personality by asking him if he was alright.

"I was... I-I..." Sam began stuttering in this fashion for several seconds, before letting up. "You w-wouldn't believe me if I t-told you, so leave it at that." He added this last part with a ferocity in his voice that surprised even him, but instead of apologising, he merely shook his head. Not in the mood... Not in the mood... "Why are you looking f-for Werewolves?" Sam asked, quickly changing the subject. "What m-merit is there in that?"

Kasey frowned as Seth looked at her, he was really something with his attitude problem.
She scratched the back of her neck at Sam's stuttering and took a deep breath in at the sudden ferocity in his voice. She backed away slightly from the Hufflepuff, a little closer to the Slytherin, though she didn't notice.
"Werewolves?" She turned to Seth and frowned. "Why are you looking for werewolves? They'll just rip you to shreds!" She said, her voice more concerned than afraid.

He turned to them both, suddenly feeling like a caught animal. I. Don't. Know. he thought to himself, trying to find the answer, I just wanted to see if it was true. I just was curious.... He looked down at both of them, turning away from their accusing stares and stepping away, right between them, which brought him closer to Sam. "Just a rumour, that's all. If it's true, then we wouldn't want vermin like that in our school, would we?" he said snidely.
If he'd known what Sam was, he'd have said exactly the same thing as a cruel attack on him. But this wasn't aimed at him, but to an absent friend who had a similar... disability.

Sam felt a stab in his tone of voice. Does he know? He can't! Shield your eyes! Sam quickly shut his eyes and turned away from Seth, silent. He can't know... He doesn't... At least, I hope not... His eyes still closed, Sam turned back to Seth and said, in a whisper that only he could hear, "I know you think your right... Surpising himself with that and confusing himself as to what it ment, he stepped around him so Kasey was in view again. "Even y-you don't know how to handle a w-werewolf, Melville. COMC can only t-teach you so much. Besides," He added as an after thought, "How do we know you aren't one?" Eyes still closed, he smirked.

Kasey frowned and looked at Seth shaking her head. The forest kept the vermin out of the school, it was out of bounds so that the students remained safe.
So she thought.
She looked over Seth's shoulder to Sam and noticed him looking away, she tilted her head and bit her lip. There was something not right about that other Hufflepuff, and she was only just realising it now.
Kasey watched Sam step to the side and licked her lip. She looked at both boys and then frowned slightly as Sam bought up the question of Seth being a werewolf.
The previous answer to her question from Sam entered her mind for some reason and she looked from Seth to Sam and frowned gently.
She took a step back from both of them and held her wand out.
"Why are you reallt looking for werewolves Melville?" She asked pointing the illuminated wand at him, she moved the point to Sam. "And why don't you think we'd believe you Sam?" She asked tilting her head slightly.

He smiled at the prospect of being a werewolf, and bit the air playfully in Sam's direction, smiling at him menacingly, "If I was a werewolf, then you'd know. I also wouldn't need to bring 'bait' while hunting them." he said, looking at Kasey up an down in approval.
He stepped forwards again, moving slightly further to Sam again, now being sure that something wasn't right here. "I don't intend to handle a werewolf. I intend to see he's there, throw you forwards, and run." he had such a sincere and proud expression to his perfectly flawed plan, that it was hard to see how afraid he really was.

Sam instinctively jumped backwards at Kaseys lit wand, screeching, but not audibly. He hadn't, luckily, bared his teeth, though he wouldn't be able to hide that long. He could hear their pulse, hear the fresh, smooth blood flow through their bodies... Blood-lust, was what the others had called it. And it as uncontrollable... But he wouldn't attack a fellow student! Not even this Seth... "A werewolf would have a hard time with me..." He murmered. You are more bait than you think, my friend... His vision swam. He remaind upright. His eyes twitched, becoming darker red...

Kasey looked at Seth first as he spoke and gasped in disgust frowning darkly at him. She was tempted to put the light out and run back towards the grounds, after all, he was no longer alone.
"If you think..." She cut herself off looking at Sam's reaction to her light her frown turned into worry. Kasey took another step back and felt her heart racing even more. "Um, are you ok?" She asked, her voice barely above a whisper as Sam stood behind Seth. She instinctively reached out for Seth and started to try and pull him back.

Melville didn't need to be pulled back; he was already turning around and stepping backwards instinctivly, as if worried that he might catch something from the other boy. He looked at him, confused, his hard mask cracked as he forgot about making appearences temporarily, leaving the cautious, concerned look on his face as he leaned down, just below his eye level,
"Are you OK?" he asked, as he'd been wanting to ask almost the whole time he'd been here. "you don't look like you could take on a gnome right now, never mind a werewolf." he told him.
