The scent of a new member pv Cross Closed

Henry breathed in. The scent pulling at his nostrils. It was a werewolf but not one who Henry smelled before... a new one? Did the third hear just find another memeber for the club...

Henry followed the scent, trying not to be suspiciousbor weird, Loki remained on his right shoulder. The pair walked across the grounds, nearing the forbidden forest ans suddenly Henry worried that he mistaken smelled some animal from the depths in the woods when his blue eyes caught a tree placed in front of the forest and a boy who laid in front.

Henry gazed at the boy, having a feeling that it wasn't a mistake as he approached. Standing a foot or two from the boy, Henry saw that he was shorter and younger looking.

perhaps a second or first year? I doubt third....

Earrings in the boy's lobes and a scar across his face. Barely missing his eyes. The scar confirmed Henry's thoughts as he slide his hands into the pockets of his jackets and approached knowing that he can't blurt out his findings. He will need to be gentle...

Henry offered the boy a small smile along with a head nod as he spoke" Hey, I'm Henry," Loki gave a short meow from the boy's right shoulder, standing up and causing Henry to smile a little as he spoke"and this is Loki," hiding the rest of his emotions behind the 'barrier'.

Henry softly smiled toward the boy as he took another step closer beforr speaking"would you mind if we joined you?"

Cross..... unfamiliar name but his scent is one that I can't shake... could he be? He could but also I can be wrong, how to test this.... how to test this...

Henry nodded toward the boy with a soft smile as he replied"a pleasure to meet you, Cross," Loki reached out, sniffed the air but remained preached on Henry's right shoulder. The third year reached out, shook the boy's hand as he examined him for any phycial signs that he could be a werewolf besides his scar.

Henry took a spot besides the boy, bringing his blue eyes to Cross's face as Loki jumped off of Henry's right shoulder. Sitting down on the other side of Henry, out of reach of Cross.

Cross's question sounded strange to Henry and he was also taken back by the fact that this boy would be the first to not recognize him from the Viridian Vipers. Henry didn't focus on that, offering the boy a soft smile as he spoke"no, I'm a third year slytherin duelist. I don't care for houses or blood status," getting those two points out of the way as a way to break the ice as the teen asked"I haven't seen you aroind the school before, are you a first year?" Henry took a breath as he allowed Cross to reply still wondering how will he know his answer.

November 18th was the full moon and if he is a werewolf then hus answer would be odd, rhe wolfbane doesn't allow us to remember what we do on full moon nights so that's how I'll know....

Henry eyed Cross, a soft smile present on his lips and all other emotions hiddne away. The third year took a breath as he spoke"November 18th was a brilliant, right? I star gazed that night, what did you do?" A small lie but it would be worth it if Cross is a werewolf to.

Henry caught his first remark, taking it as a sign that Cross wasn't comfortable with the question and then watched as the boy didn't meet his ryes when he spoke again.

Listening, Henry head words that he didn't intentionally belive. Having spent years with the condition, it allowed Henry to learned a few things and apparently one was spotting another suffering from the same condition.

Henry looked around, scanning the groinds for anyone else there. That could listen in or spread unneeded gossip. The two were alone. Henry nodded at the sight, turning to sit in front of the younger boy as his mind turned and worked. Thinking how he would tell the boy.

Henry took a breath, he couldn't stall any longer or wait another moment because the next could mean someone finding out or not. The teen studied the boy carefully as he softly spoke"we're the same, Cross," a simple statement as Henry pointed to the scar on Cross's face then pulled down his right jaclet and short sleeve, showeing the second year thr scar running across his shoulder and bicep.

It helped that Henry inflicted the scar upon himself during that summer full moon, covering the scar once more with his clothes. Henry looked at the boy as he spoke"I can imagine how lonely or hard it's been in the shack but you don't have to go through it alone ever again," Loki watched with amber eyes as Henry offered Cross a hand, blue eyes watching the second year as he continued"a secret club for those with our condition at hogwarts that I run with another, I invite you to join and promise that you'll never go through a full moon alone again. You'll have a pack."

Henry offered a smile toward the boy's joke about his personality and appearance, the third year have been lucky. He could easily hide his scars but he knew some weren't as lucky as him, Cross beeing one as the teen studied his scar.

Moving his eyes from the scar to Cross's eyes with a emotionless look, only a soft smile visible on his face. Nodding toward his words on fluxweed, another indicator that the boy is a werewolf. Werewolf scars don't fade and can't be magically removed, however there are a few remedies to help sooth of them. Fluxweed being one.

"Inflicted by my own claws during the August moon, I used some fluxweed a few days after," Henry explained knowing that the scar only servered as a remindor that he is a monster but also it helped in cases like this. To gain members and help other werewolves, Henry thought he needed to protect and care for the ones at hogwarts now that he's one of the eldest ones.

Henry caught his words, looking at the thw second year as he took a breath then spoke"who truly wants to? But it wasn't a choice we were given and going through them alone are much worse, at least together you have someone who understands you. A pack to rely on," looking at the boy, wondering what he will do. Wolves United needs members especially since they lost a few wolves, they left hogwarts and one still haunted Henry's mind.

Henry felt Cross take his hand, the teen held is tightly but comfortably as he replied"we let members know aboit meetings in quiet ways, remember don't talk about the club with anyone." It is a secret at Hogwarts and Henry tended to keep it that way as he got to feet after Cross, Loki trotting over and leaping up yo his onwer's right shoulder. Sitting there with amber eyes.

Henry nodded toward the younger boy's words, words thay nearly all wolves had. Henry experienced a mix of them as he spoke"who doesn't, especially with others and their gossip," the teen hayed how much the papers can write about werewolves and how many people remember ones lile Ferris Grayback. Grouping werewolves with him and yet no one remembers Remus Lupin or less doz the first werewolf to get the order of merlin.
