The Girl Who Was Forgotten

Chapter 19: Sights of the Forbiden forest

The next week I sat just out of the whomping willows reach ( it was my free period) , thinking about how bored I was, Lilly and Sev were at Slug club,Slughorn basically collects people, not in a creepy way but he tries to make connections with people he think are going to go far in life and stuff like that, you would think me being a parselmouth he would invite me but noooo... But I don't care. 

Bella was hanging out with her other friends, she kinda flit from our group to there's, depending on her mood. Quirrel was in library, and I don't have any really good friends other then them... I'm so antisocial. 

I began to think about this morning prophet 'Muggle murders believed to be the work of Lord Voldemort.' Since I started my first year at Hogwarts they've been happening, at first they didn't know who it was and then this mega-creepy guy comes up telling everyone to bow down to him and that muggles have cooties and we should kill him all. It's becoming a lot more frequent lately though, my mum still has her wand and I've Owled her telling her to keep in on her for self defence, but its still creepy. 

someone tapping on my shoulder pulled me out of my train of thought, "Mia?"  "What is it Andromeda?"I replied dully, "Have you seen my sister?" "No I have not seen Bella." I replied flatly. "Oh Okay...Bye" "Goodbye Andromeda." I'm glad I'm a only child. 

What was I thinking about? Meh.

I went back to starring at the whomping willow, and thinking about random things. then I remembered that I hadn't seen my other friends yet. I groaned as I got up and stretched, making baby dinosaur noises as I did.

I looked around to see how many people where around, most people were already studying or were in class. only a few people were handing around outside, and most were by the lake.No one to notice me slip into the forbidden forest. 

carefull to avoide the willows area of range I slipped around it and walked to the edge of thw woods. At first I followe the path intil I saw a familar tree that had two trunks. I then walked of the path to the right and followed along my ussual trail that no one but me and the Centaurs know about. 

I promptly arrived in a clearing, by looking at it you wouldn't know how I first met the Centaurs doing a detention in my second year, right in this clearing. Or how I became friends with a centaur my age, You wouldn't know how they taught me there songs so I knew how to call them when I wanted to meet. To you, this clearing would be just a clearing, but to me, it is a way to a secret world that no one knows about. 

I began to whistle a tune Firenze taught me, when sung it was about friends meeting. So when I whistled it they all knew it was me and that I wanted to meet with them If they could. None of the Centaurs could whistle, No matter how much I tried to teach them. No wizards know the song so it couldn't be anyone other then me. See I am a clever cookie!

"Hello Mia" said Firenze stepping into the clearing. "Helloooo Firenze" I sung as I skipped over to him. "How have you been?" He asked gripping my forearm,in that sort of medieval handshake. After four years withh Centaurus you get used to there customs. " I am doing well, and you?" " The stars are in my favour." Jeez Centaurs an the stars, I took astrology my third and forth year just so I could understand what the hell they were talking about. "I am glad." 

"MIA!" Yelled Bane excitedly, running into the field, Bane and Firenze were basically the only Centaurs that hanged out with me most of the time, every now and again they would bring a friend but they would mostly stand there awkwardly and mumble stuff about the planets.  

"BANE!" I yelled with the same enthusiasm, unlike Firenze who was usually calm, Bane was basically a hyper little pony... except he's a foot taller then me... Hyper giant pony.
