Hiding With Rocks closed

Verla rushed toward him, out of breathe. "So not cool." She giggled at him though and tackled him to the ground and sat on him. "I think you just got you butt kicked by a girl, what'd you say to that?" She laughed as he did. She didn't know why he ran, but an unexplained talent made sense, she had lots of those. She got up and began running around the grounds. Then she noticed he was lost in probably a memory, but it didn't seem like a good one, she walked up to him "are you okay? What's the matter?" She asked him in a worried tone, the way she had when he'd run out of the common room. She wondered what he was thinking about, so then she could take it and heal his pain, she sat down next to him and let out a sigh as she thought of being chased once with her dad.

They were strolling down the side walk when someone yelled at them to run, and behind them was a guy holding a knife, coming straight for them. They began to run until her dad had had enough and turned around jolted the knife out of the mans hand and held it to his throat, Verla had begged him to stop, and he did.

Levi was suddenly alive again. He just realised Verla was next to him. A smirk on his face, he pulled something out of his pocket. A chocolate frog! He threw it on Verla, playfully, and got up and sprinted away. He hoped the frog kept Verla 'occupied' for a moment so he could escape... Again.

Levi laughed as he hid behind a random tree. He hadn't realised it was partially in the Forbidden Forest. He clambered up the tree a considerable height. Now's to hoping he didn't fall off it! Then he'd spend time in the Hospital Wing where people who he didn't know would pity him if he even appeared...

Nah, that won't happen. He shifted his weight slightly, standing on the thicker branch. He glanced down. The ground was an awful way away. If he WERE to fall... 

Shut up! he told himself. Bad Levi, don't think about it. So naturally he thought about it. Definitely have a broken bone, part of him said. Yep, maybe an arm or a leg? It kept talking about breaking stuff. And most obviously you'd have at least a concussion / being knocked out. Mhm, you could potentially KILL yourself, sir. 

Verla took the frog and looked around for Levi as she bit its head off and chewed, it was good. Though she giggled for trying to scare her. She walked around the trees and stood right under the one he was hiding in, though she didn't know it. She wondered where he went as she bit off one of the legs. Then she smiled "Come out come out where ever you are!" Verla giggled as she continued to look around. Then an apple fell on her head, then she knew he was up there. She pretended not to notice, until she threw the apple at him, hoping she'd miss and not hit him in the head. Then she began to run toward the lake, knowing that she was going to get stuck, she ran onto the dock anyway. You bloody idiot Verla!!! She thought to herself, she felt super stupid. She turned around, hoping he wasn't behind her. 

(if he was then:-
She jumped into the lake, then she remembered, she couldn't swim. She began to gasp as she went in and out of the water. She couldn't scream because water kept getting into her lungs, then she couldn't breath. She went under the water.

Levi muttered a cuss word as the apple hit his head. Who knew fruit HURT so much? He slid down the tree and scanned the distance for his 'assailant'. He saw Verla running to the dock. He chortled and watched as she leapt into the water. He walked along at a reasonably steady pace, towards the water Verla had just jumped in. He arrived there after ten seconds, which was quite fast. A few tens of seconds had passed, and Levi got an uneasy feeling. Could Verla swim? he wondered. He peered over the edge and gasped. Verla apparently couldn't! She was sinking. 

Levi decided to be Verla's 'knight in shining armour' and dived in. He let the momentum carry him to her and put an arm around her waist. He kicked up, hard, until they broke the surface. He swam to the shore with the unconscious girl, placing her on the soft grass. He felt for a pulse, and was glad he felt it throbbing softly. He didn't know CPR, which would have helped at this moment since he knew no magic that would help, so he held her hand until she woke up. 

When she DID wake up, he gently hugged her. Levi smiled gently at Verla, and sat beside her. 

She woke up coughing up water and sat up. She realized he was holding her hand, then noticed he was hugging her. She hugged back and said "thank you" then playfully punched him in the arm. "My apple hit you in the head, well it hit me in the head too, so we're even." She smiled gently as he sat next to her. She took her hair and ringed the water out of it. Letting the lake water drip down her clothes.

Then she got an idea "which color do you think would look best on me? Red, green, blue, or yellow? I'm close to getting a different dress color." She wondered which color he would say, she definitely liked the red or blue or green one, though which ever one he picked she would definitely buy, seeing if he would like it on her. She began to hum to herself and closed her eyes as she laid her head on his shoulder again, then she opened them and looked out to the lake. It was beautiful, and with the trees reflecting on it. She took out her sketch book and put a same drawing image in front of her and Levi, it looked exactly the same.

Levi wondered how on earth Verla had basically recovered from drowning so quickly. He let it go, maybe Verla was like a secret ninja person. He doubted it, but meh. 

"Um, I'd either go with red or blue. Red because I think you'd look great in red, and blue would go with your eyes. Maybe you should get purple," he joked, as red and blue together made purple. "But you pick between red or blue. They're both my favourite colours." The boy smiled, wondering what the heck was going to happen next.

"Y'know, you're rather calm for someone who nearly drowned. And like, it's not every day you fall into water and, uh, can't swim." He was half expecting to be hit as it COULD sound like he was, hem, being negative about her 'talents' in the water. 

"You won't push me into the water, right?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. The tone and the wording made it almost sound like a challenge. He was ready for the push if it did come, and only JUST realised that, gasp, he was right at the edge. He went to scramble out of the way and to a random tree so he would be safe!

Verla remained sitting there and let out a sigh. "To be honest, I guess I'm calm because I wanted to drown, I-I don't know why. But you saved me, so yes, I am calm. I'm still breathing, aren't I?" She asked, then put two fingers to her neck and checked her pulse. Then she giggled and laid back on the grass and looked at the sky. It was starting to get dark, but she didn't care, she loved the stars. Verla liked how he liked red and blue, and how blue would go good with her blue eyes she was blessed with.

She remembered getting compliments on her eyes all the time, now it was once a year almost from a total stranger. Verla wanted to go home, she wanted to just lay under the stars. But she wanted Levi with her too. She moved her head up and looked at the tree he was at upside down. She smiled and looked up at the sky again. Then she laid on her side and used her arm as a pillow, and began drifting to sleep. She hoped Levi wouldn't try anything, expect come and lay in front of her, and drift into sleep.
