If They Can, I Can [Open]

[Amiel Phelps]

Amiel Phelps wandered along the third floor, humming to herself. It had been a quiet week but it was stressful all the same. This year was her seventh year and that meant N.E.W.T year. She shuddered at the thought of the exams and if her brother Angelo had been right then they would be completely horrible and she would have no chance of passing at all. Before she knew it she had wandered into the Forbidden Corridor, a part of the third floor that was, naturally, forbidden. Amy wasn't sure why it was forbidden and if the rumours that were circulating Hogwarts were true then whatever danger lurked within was long gone by now.

Amy had never been much of a rule breaker, that was a job for Elijah, her older twin brother who was older than her by two minutes and, in her opinion, was slighly goofy even at the best of times. She sighed as she continued, if people like Harry Potter and her own brother could venture into these parts then surely Amy herself could get in without any trouble she was, after all, a Phelps and, as it was with most of the family, once a Phelps made up their mind there was no changing it, though perhaps this was a little untrue for Amy herself. Ceasing humming as she entered the corridor a slight smirk on her face this is too easy she thought to herself.

She slipped into the darkness, the eerie silence seemed to wash over her, giving her a slight chill but she shrugged it off if they can do it so can I she kept repeating to herself, she knew that she could do it, it can't be that hard. After approximately ten minutes of just wandering around Kaylee stopped dead in her tracks, her whole body stiffened and she listened carefully, she was sure that she had just heard something moving behind her. It wasn't long before she let out a scream of fright, someone had appeared near her.

^{Keiko had been wandern he halls patrolling thm when she had heard a scream. SHe ran forward in the direction of the cry and took out her wand that was conveniently inside her robe sleeve. She turned the corner and raised her wand, ready to cast a spell, but noticed that there was only a Gryffindor girl, looking scared, who seemed to have uttered the cry. She lowered her and but not all the way. She said tiredly, but still alert What is it? Her american accent decieved her and shewinced as it echoed through the empty corridor. She loked at the girl intently, taking her in. She had learned from her days at the order to never forget a face, it might come in handy later. Fo all she knew, this girl could have been a Death Eater Gryffindor, thought those were in short supply. SHe smiled at the girl to comfort the scared gir, then put her wand back in her robes, but kep her hand in her robes so she would be able to reach for it in a sudden movement.}

Amy looked up and then cursed under her breath, of all the people that had to come it had to be a teacher, she would sure be in trouble now, if the professor realised where they were. Silently she hoped she wouldn't as she turned and looked over to the armoured guard that stood in the corridor, it had been there that she had seen whoever it was "there was someone following me professor" she said finally, her tone as mild as she could make it "just gave me a start, might have been a rat" she was trying to defend herself while hiding the fact of where they were and she thought she was doing rather well. "It was probably just my brother Elijah playing jokes agian" she added finally, making a mental note that if that was the reason she would get him back quicker than he could say quidditch.

After a few moments of awkward silence she looked back to the professor who had, by now, placed her wand away though Amy noticed her hand was still inside her robes, could this Professor be one of the dark ones floating around? Suddenly Amy felt slightly uncomfortable and shifted her weight from one foot to another nervously, trying not to let it show but it was obvious that her attempt was a complete failure, even a monkey would know that she was feeling rather uncomfortable at the moment. She slid her hand to her pocket, needing the comfort that feeling her wand brought to her.

^{Kieko relaxed when the studnet gave an explaination. Then realised exactly where they were. Keiko smiled at the girl then looked at her harder, trying to see what she was so uncomforable about, it was quite abviosu. Then Keiko relised her hand was still in her robes where she ahd put her wand. SHe smiled at the student then took out her wand so the student could se it. YOu can never be too safe this time of night eh? SHe looked aroun her, then looked at the student. Did you say what your name was dear, she said nicely. She was considerigng deducting house points, but seeing as the girl had been given quite a fright she decided to simply let her off on a warning. I'm Professor Shim dear, i teach ancient runes and Ravenclaw Head. SHe said at her, tucking her wand under her arm to shake the estudents hand. She was young and 26 years old, but ocould have passed for 20 or 21. She was quite young loking fo her age.}
