Artemis Black - Fred Weasley

Detention in the Dark Forest pt 1

Artemis let out a huff of annoyance as she walked into the potions classroom to serve her detention with snape, but she was stopped quickly by snape who stood just in the doorway "you will not be serving detention with me tonight"

"Really? Wicked cause honestly, I'm nackerd" she said with a grin and then went to leave the classroom quickly before he would change his mind and made her come back in there and scrub the floors "thanks Professor, have a good night!"

"not. so. fast Black" Snape says and she turns around to face him and notices the smirk on his face "i said you wont be serving detention with me i didn't say that you weren't serving detention at all, tonight you will be going with Hagrid into the dark forest"

"The dark forest? Hagrids been trying to keep me out of the forest, i don't think that he would want to just walk me in there professor" Artemis said with a grin but then Snape began leading her down the staircases and outside of the castle towards Hagrids hut. 

They marched off across the dark grounds. The air was freezing and Artemis kept rubbing her hands up and down her arms to try and warm her up. Artemis couldn't help but wonder what was happening in the forbidden forest that meant Hagrid had to take her in there, did people find out that she was an animagus, what if Hagrid wasn't even going to meet them down there and Snape was just leading her down into a trap, maybe the ministry was down there ready to take her straight to Askaban just like her father. 

The moon was bright, but clouds scudding across it kept throwing theminto darkness and Artemis couldn't help but think about Remus, it was going to be a full moon in a few days and she could only imagine how tired he was and the amount of pain he was going through, he hated the full moon and thought he was an abomination, yet Artemis couldn't care less that he was a werewolf, he was still her loving and cheerful guardian that she has loved endlessly for her whole life. 

Ahead, Artemis could see the lighted windows of Hagrid's hut.Then they heard a distant shout."Is that you, Snape? Hurry up, I want ter get started."Artemis's heart rose; so Hagrid really was down there and she was going to spend the detention with him and she couldn't be happier or more relieved, maybe this detention would be fun. Her relief must have shown in her face, because Snape said, "I suppose you think you'll be enjoying yourself with that oaf? Well,think again, Black — it's into the forest you're going and I'm much mistaken ifyou'll all come out in one piece." 

Hagrid came striding toward them out of the dark, Fang at his heel and then Artemis noticed that behind him was Neville, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco. Hagrid wascarrying his large crossbow, and a quiver of arrows hung over his shoulder."Abou' time," he said. "We bin waitin' fer 15 minutes already. All right,Artemis?" 

"I shouldn't be too friendly to them, Hagrid, especially this one," said Snape coldly and he glared down at Artemis, "they'rehere to be punished, after all." 

"That's why yer late, is it?" said Hagrid, frowning at Snape. "Bin givin'her a har' time again, eh? 'Snot your place ter do that. Yeh've done yer bit, I'll take overfrom here." 

Snape sneered at Artemis one more time and muttered "just like her filthy father" then he turned and started back toward the castle, his lamp bobbingaway in the darkness. 

Malfoy now turned to Hagrid."I'm not going in that forest," he said, and Artemis couldn't help but feel sympathetic for the boy while Ron, Harry and Hermione were all grinning looking very amused and pleased to hear thenote of panic in his voice. 

"Yeh are if yeh want ter stay at Hogwarts," said Hagrid fiercely. "Yeh'vedone wrong an' now yeh've got ter pay fer it."

"Its alright Malfoy, I'm sure nothing is going to happen to you, if it makes you feel any better, if something were going to come after us in the forest i think that Harry and i would be its first targets" she said and gave him a small smile
