A Strange...Whistle?
Forward dated to September 18, 2020.
Nell walked carefully through the bushes, keeping a keen eye on her surroundings. She just knew that something was bound to happen to her tonight, but decided to ignore her instincts. Oh, how she would soon regret that choice...The young girl pulled the cuffs on her hoodie sleeves farther down her wrists. Why was it this cold? Should've brought a jacket. Nell's bones shook with each passing gust of wind. She solely regret all of what she had done tonight. Especially what she was doing now.It was hours past curfew. 1AM at least. If she was caught by a prefect or professor, there would be trouble. She had gotten detention once, and wasn't planning on getting it again. After all, she needed to study and...Nell came to a halt as a branch broke beneath her black boot. Shoot. And then she ran, quickly, but quietly. She couldn't risk getting- Stupid vine tripped her. She scoffed and brushed her clothes off. What was that noise? The young girl listened more closely to the...whistle?Who the hell was whistling at 1 in the morning? Nell followed to sound, eager to see it's source. Maybe it was a prefect or professor... Oh well. Nell spotted someone and ducked behind a bush. Close one. Nell looked over the bush only to see a...student.

Heather loved exploring the grounds late at night. Something about the cool night air made Hogwarts seem more magical than it already was. Sure, it was risky to be out this late when she has such bright hair, but she didn't care, she knew how to avoid getting caught. Whistling was just idiotic, but she is an idiot after all.
As she walked she started spinning in a circle, enjoying the cold air that slapped her in the face. But when she stopped, she heard the crunching of a branch. That wasn't her, right? She looked down at her feet, trying to see if she stepped on anything, but all that was under her was grass. Grass doesn't crunch, does it? Maybe hard grass, but the grass here seemed soft enough to not make a crunching noise. Meaning, something else must've crunched. An animal, maybe?
Yeah, what was she thinking? It was probably an animal, most likely a rabbit or fox. She smiled at herself, shaking her head in disbelief that she thought another student was out here. But when she heard the sound of someone running, and saw the bush beside her move out of the corner of her eye, her heart raced. "Hell-Hello?" She whispered, looking around, praying that she wasn't about to get caught, "Is anyone there?"

Cash is lying on their back against the grassy ground. Both of their hands intertwined and locked behind their head. Their eyes looking up the sky. The night sky adorning with some stars. Not much but it up there. The thing is, they can pushed out all the thought about their father been missing all they want but eventually it caught up with them.
Cash then heard a whistle. They smirk at that. It is look like they are not the only one that wandering this far out from the castle. Gentle breeze hits their face and they inhale the smell of night air. The cold breeze filled up their lung and calm their racing thoughts. They still stare the sky and the whistling stopped.
They also heard not far from where the green eyes girl situated a branch snapped and a rustling of bushed, they know it was not from the breeze. Someone also was here beside the purple hair girl and the whistler. Cash lifted up their head a bit to make out the whistler. The whistler has a bright hair. They laid their head again.
This time the back of their head is on the grass and both of their hands intertwined on top of their stomach. "Hell-Hello?"The whistler stuttered in whisper. She looked around. "Is anyone there?"The girl questions. "Do not stop on my account"Cash said. Both of the whisper and whomever behind the bush can't see where the second year serpent at.
Both of them can only hear their voice. "It was not me"Cash clarified regarding the rustling of the bush. They pulled out their wand and twirled it on their hand just how like a drummer playing with their drumstick. "Come out come out, dear bush person"Cash called out and hoping someone out there.
If there was not anyone around beside the purple hair girl and the whistler, it was not a big surprise for them. The castle are filled with ghosts after all.

Heather jumps at the sound of someone speaking, and looked around to see who it was, "Who's there?" She asked, her eyes wide with shock, "You're not like...dangerous right?" She asked, taking a step back. She reached for her wand but remembered she stupidly left it in the Common Room. Great, now she has nothing to protect herself with.
"Don't hurt me, I'll just go back to my common room, it's no trouble!" She assured, backing up before remembering the person mentioned someone in a bush. Meaning there could potentially be two people who can attack her at any time. She looked around for something she could protect herself with, in case they did try to attack her, before realizing there's nothing. So she truly was screwed. Hopefully, these people weren't dangerous, but you never know with Hogwarts. And maybe if they were she could convince them not to hurt her. At the very least she could just scream and run, although she didn't know how much that would help against a spell.
As Heather stood there, waiting for a reply, her heart racing, she realized that the grounds didn't look pretty anymore. They were scary, especially since there is a large chance that these people can injure her. All she could is wait.

Nell watched from behind a bush as two students - one with bright hair and the other purple hair - began conversing. She thought she recognized the one with purple hair, but she couldn’t be sure.
Nell was sure she’d be caught. It was past curfew, she had made tons of noise, and she was with other students, Nell hung her head. It was only the start of the school year and Nell would be sent to detention.
She refused to move around, afraid of making too much more noise. She didn’t need more ways to get in trouble. Nell grasped her wand in her slender hand, just in case. You never know what’s going to happen.
After a hot second, Nell decided to look through a bare spot in the bush. Getting a closer look at the two students, she saw one looked to be a second year, and the other a first year. Great. Now what would she do? What could she do? She had to get back to her dorm quick.
After some planning, Nell made a run for the castle, only to trip on a silly tree root. Knowing those two students had heard her, she limped behind another bush, this time closer to the castle.

Heather noticed something move out of the corner of her eye and saw a girl limping behind a bush. Was that the "bush girl" she heard the other person mention? Only one way to find out. She hesitantly walked over to the bush, stopping a couple of feet in front of it, and kneeled, the bottom of her robe touching the grass. "Miss?" She whispered, forgetting about the other person, "Are you...bush girl?" She asks, before realizing that that was a stupid question. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! That's probably not your name, right? Well, I don't even have to guess, 'bush girl' sounds stupid. Unless that's your name, of course!" She rambled, a bit panicky.
Heather has a problem with rambling. She does it, a lot, even when she's not panicking. She loves the sound of her voice and will try to fill the silence up with it all the time. But now probably wasn't a good time to fill the silence, since she could get caught at any moment.
"Are you, like, a criminal or something? Is that why you're hiding out in the bushes?" She asked uncertainly, "If you're a criminal, that's fine! But, like, don't...get me in trouble too! My mom would kill me if I became a criminal!"

"Who's there?"The girl asked with alarm tone. "You're not like...dangerous right?" She asked and Cash briefly heard the other girl shuffling around in the grass ground. It is what they assumed by the position the green eyes girl at. "Don't hurt me, I'll just go back to my common room, it's no trouble!"The girl added.
Cash let out an audible chuckle at the girl exclaimed. They get out from their position and stand up. Walking towards the other girl. "No need for that"Cash stated to the other girl. "Lumos"They said as they hold out their wand but this time around they unsuccessful to casted the spell. "That's weird"The purple hair girl sigh.
They walk towards the other girl fumblingly because how dark it is. When half way through, the green eyes girl heard a thud and it is looks like someone either fell or tripped because something. Cash shook their head. It is bound to happen. Someone may tripped because there is no light near by the campground.
A shadow limped in the dark and hide behind a bush again. Does this someone has a weird fascination with bushes Cash thought to themselves. The other girl walk towards the bush and greet whomever behind the bush. The other girl greet that person behind the bush with 'bush girl'. Cash rolled their eyes at the absurd name.
But the other girl can not be blamed as the first one mention 'bush person' was the second year Slytherin. The bond girl (know Cash know she has a blonde hair) rambling about her own absurdness by calling someone as a 'bush girl'. Cash being inpatient person they are, they parted the bush. When they see whose behind the bush, Cash hold back a laughter.
"Hello, Zola. Fancy meeting you at this hour"Cash whispered. It is 1AM in the morning and they do not want to get into detention. Although deep down they wished for once they got into detention. They could take all them blame for it if or when a professor or a prefect catch the three of them in the act and let Nell and the other person flee from the scene.
"Are you, like, a criminal or something? Is that why you're hiding out in the bushes?"The blonde girl asked uncertainly, "If you're a criminal, that's fine! But, like, don't...get me in trouble too! My mom would kill me if I became a criminal!"She added. How annoying They hold the words in so they would not blurted it out.
Cash did not know what house the blonde girl sorted into since none of the three wearing their respective school robes. "Funny isn't it that we always meet in the witching hours? No pun intended, of course"Cash address to Nell because the last time they met both of the students are wondering the castle after curfew.
"And no, I am not a criminal"They added. "I do not know about this one though"Cash pointed out Nell to the other girl. They looked at and mention Nell being a 'criminal' in playful manner.

A Strange...Whistle?
Morning, it was still dark out however and most student's were still in bed. Well most, a few like Henry were wandering around the grounds hoping to avoid punishment. Dressed in hid worn out jeans, worn out long grey sleeve shirt, and faded greenish jacket the twelve year old had his wand in his inside jacket pocket since he left his messager type bag in his common room. He wasn't expecting to find anyone else, it was early and with the new/old rules in place he doubted that any student would be out at this time which should give the boy plenty of time to think.
The boy walked across the grounds with his mind on his hidden family and life, it been some time since he was at Hogwarts and even after meeting new and old friends and creating new memories, the boy still went back to the same old thoughts and worries which didn't help with his anxiety either. Somehow he walked onto and though the campgrounds still with his mind on hid hidden life and family and nothing more, except the letters that he received from his twin sister; Annabeth. They were odd in every way about her and their father which made Henry worry and even when he asked his older brother; Arthur about it, he still didn't get any answers which made him feel helpless at the time, like he couldn't do anything, like life continued around him and he was stuck in a box, never moving it changing just stuck where he was.
Deep in his thoughts the boy continued to walk until... whistle... Henry looked up, how could there be others out there? Why would they be there? Weren't they worried about punishment or were they there to catch him? Henry didn't care, he wasn't worried through as he continued in the shadows but suddenly he stopped in his tracks. The trees whistling in the wind, the darkness crawling out to him as tue forest was calling out to him.
Run away, to run away. To escape from reality, to run away from all your troubles and worries, to run and never look back, to be freed and to escape from your worries and trouble. The feeling, the temptation was calling to Henry, it was like he was hypnotized, mesmerized, to run away, to escape from reality, from his troubles and thoughts, to no longer worry about his anxiety or problems. Henry felt his legs walk toward the forest, his heart pounding, head throbbing, he was ready to run, to run away and never turn back.
The edge of the forest, he was ready to go, to run. He will soon be gone, out, freed from all his troubles and worries. Henry could feel his heart racing, he was going to do it. He was going to run, to escape his problems and never turn back, to find peace and escape from his worries and trouble.
However something stopped him, it was a voice. A voice that he heard before, a voice where he had fun with but also got in trouble with him. Cash, a purple haired and green eyes second year slytherin home Henry met a few times, as he smiled a little as he remembered the times they shared together but wait something was happening with them and two others who appeared to be females.
So Henry approached them but stayed hidden in the darkness as he watched a bit but after Cash lit their wand to revel a girl whom she called Zola, why did that sound familiar? Wait she was the girl with the rumors, who was rumored to have beat up a prefect or something, why was she here?
Henry finally came into the light so the other three could see him, he first smiled a bit at Cash before saying to them " hey Cash, what are you doing here?" He then saw the other two, one he didn't know and the other had some rumours about them before Henry spoke again " what's happening here?"
