Tobias . . .Tobby? Vince called for his brother in his mind. It was late but hopefully, he wasn't disturbing his brother. At least, he could hope right?

Hmm? The small voice in his head muttered tiredly. Vincent bit his lip as he layed on his back in the grass.

Sorry . . . Vincent thought as he chewed on his bottom lip. His eyes flickered back towards the castle to see if anyone he couldn't hear was walking towards him. I didn't know you were sleeping. I just needed someone to talk to . . .

It's alright Vinny. I've been feeling lonely without you too. I haven't really got any friends around here. Have you made any?

Vincent shrugged to himself as though his brother could see him. I'm not too sure. You can never be too sure of these things right? I met a girl named Josi. She can talk enough for me and her. Then there this other girl named Hotaru and Talynn. Ever since Vincent had met Talynn, he thought the girl was cute. He couldn't tell if he had a crush or not.

Vincent decided not to mention the Bourbon twins to his twin brother. He didn't want to mention how stupid he had made himself look.

Astina was running throught the woods in her wolf form when she slipped silently out of a bush an saw a boysitting by the lake. It didnt seem like he heard her at all, but she wanst sure. If he did hear her, than he must have really good hearing, since, in her wolf form of Kanata, she could walk right in front of you and you wouldnt even hear her or see her if she was in the dark.

She waked up behind the boy and looked into his face. She saw from the robes that he was wearing, that he was a slytherin. She didnt ming though, he seemed like a nice enought fellow.

Just then, the boy made a sudden movement that looked like a shrug to her. I seemed like this boy was eaither sckitso, or he was telepathic. Astina didnt know, but she was about to find out. She trotted up to the boy and nudged his arm with her wet nose so that he would know that she was there.

Astina sat down on the soft, cool grass in the moonlight and stuck her thounge out and panted just like any normal wolf would do. She cocked her head to the side to indicate that she wanted the boy to respond.

Sitting up slowly noticing the animal, his brows furrowed. He chewed on his bottom lip. Vince watched as the wolf cocked his head to the side. Or was it a girl? He couldn't be too sure.

Vincent held out his hand towards the animal to let it sniff it. The small snake coiled around the opposite hand.

Toby? How much do you know about wolves?
Next to nothing why?
Well, Vincent thought chewing on his lip again, I think one just found me . . .

Vincent tried to show no fear towards the animal. If he showed fear would the animal attack? Well, it seemed nice enough at the moment.

Maybe you should run?
I don't really think I should suddenly move . . . .

He took in a deep breath never once loosing eye contact.

Astina watched the boy extend his hand. She sniffed it and judged that the boy was trustworthy and retracted her head to get ready to transform. But, before she could, her black owl named Diablo flew in and landed on Astina's shoulder. She sniffed Diablo then transformed.

"Hee hee. How's it goin' Diablo? What do you have for me here?" Astina took the letter that was attached to Diablo's leg and unfolded it. "Oh!" Astina almost forgot about the boy in front of her. "Sorry, hi, my name is Astina Sincaltry. Im a Gryffindor. I believe that you are a Slytherin? Nice to meet you. What is your name?" Astina held out her hand for the boy to shake.

Vincent let out the breath he wasn't even aware he was holding. He stared at the girl's hand as she offered it. Vince debated on whether to take it or not and finally he did. He gave her a curt nod.

"V-vincent C-c-caldwell," He said as colour rose on his cheeks. Vincent bit his lip and turned his attention away from the girl. Once again, he leaned back on the grass. Everyonce in awhile he glanced around.

The wolf was an animagus.
I wasn't aware animagus' were alloud in your school.
Me neither . . .

Once again Vince nodded as she asked if he was a slytherin. He was much different then some slytherins around. Of course he didn't trust anyone . . . .except maybe Tobias (his twin brother). However, he wasn't hostile to those who weren't exactly pureblooded.

"Hello, Vincent. Dont worry, I wont eat you or anything." Astina giggledat her own lame joke. She sat down on the grass next to Vincentand pulled her knees up to her chest. She wrapped her arms around her legs and rested her chin on her knees.

"What are you doing out here so late?" Astina asked, "Well, you have the same right to ask me the same thing. I usually go out and explore the forest in my animal form. It releives my stress." Astina smiled at Vincent.

"Were you talking to yourself a minute ago? Or are you a sckitzo? It did look like you were talking to someone though." Astina gave Vincent a look of concern.

"It's okay, I dont care if you are. I sometimes talk to myself too. I even, sometime talk to Diablo here." Astina reached out her hand and stroked Diablo's pitch black wing. She could feel his soft, smoothe feathers under her fingers. "Want to be friends?' Astina asked Vincent with her usual friendly, ectatic smile.
