(ooc: ohhh... alright.)
Fearing for the girls life, Leigh turned back and saw her walk into the forest. "Silly girl!" He muttered to himself. He immediately turned into his animagus tiger form and followed her, carefully placing each foot as not to make a sound. He quickly made his way past her and ahead of her. He was in a deepening dense part of the woods, a part he had never been before. He growled slightly when he heard her approaching him.
He sighed and roared as loud as he could, scaring anything that was within earshot. He heard a scream from the girl before stepping out in front of her, growling deeply. The cat hissed and snapped with it's claws but soon shot up a tree when it realised it was outmatched.
Leigh stood in front of the Slytherin girl, who was starting to cry, as she was shaking violently. Leigh immediately returned to his normal self and stood before her, looking at her sternly.
"I warned you." He said, "the forest is dangerous, you don't know what dangers lurk in the darkness."

"Startling students again, Professor?" Apronia smirks and steps out of the tree shadow. "I must ask both of you to leave the Forest immediately. The centaurs are in council at the moment as to whether or not they will declare war upon our castle. I wish them to answer no. The evil spirit that attack you, Alondra, is influencing them to say yes. It is a delicate balance at the moment and I would very much appreciate it if neither of you would do anything to occasion further hatred of humans." her tone is mild but her eyes are flinty and both Professor and student get the unmistakable impression that something is behind or within her, some strength greater than them both, greater than she is, influencing her and guiding her.

((I refuse to be protrayed as a crybaby!))
She smiled whiping the fake tears away. "So you came back for little old me?" she smiled. She had been quite frightened, but she figured it had been him. She smiled when he transformed her suspicions had been right.

"Apronia, leave us be please." Leigh said, closing his eyes, feeling something was wrong with her. "Alondra, please leave the forest, you've come far enough. If the centaurs do attack us, it will be soon. Get into the castle, your Common Room and stay there."

"Alright." she pretended to be angry she had to leave. She began walking back to the castle trailing far away from them before she made a left about 60 feet and started running back into the forest, looking for anything interesting she could find. SHe soon crept quietly knowing they might here her.

(ooc: Did I say she was possessed? All I said was that there was something wrong with her!)
Turning to Apronia, Leigh grunted. "So, is the Centaur situation that bad now?"

Apronia could see the Professor thought she was slightly deranged, and she narrowed her eyes coldly. ¨Yes.¨ she said, casually shrugging aside the shoulder of her tunic to expose a star-shaped scar. ¨Thankfully I am familiar with a few effective healing charms, or I would be leaking from three of these arrow wounds at this moment.¨ she glared at him. ¨Please leave the Forest.¨ her eyes went misty again.
a rebellious young girl runs through the Forest, looking around and laughing, believing she has fooled her teachers. she does not notice the glowing group of eyes that stare from behind a boulder
¨If you´ll excuse me, I´m going to go corral that insolent waif. I would very much appreciate it if you could escort yourself out of the Forest with accruing any wounds.¨
She took off after Alondra, following the pressure in her mind.

Sighing, Leigh turned to leave the forest, but as he did he heard the heavy pounding of several hooves behind him. He turned to hear several arrows whistling through the air. He ducked immediately and pulled out his wand. He then remembered it wasn't wise to use magic against them, then he sighed again and turned into his animagus form and ran for his dear life. He was been followed by what he could figure to be three centaurs. He turned and snarled viciously at them, arching his back ready to strike at them needed. (ooc: I thought I'd just do something like that I don't want anyone to come and save me unless I am close to dying.) |

She had been running wuite a while and got quite tired. She sat down on a large broken branch from the trees and rested, catching her breath. For some reason she could never sense anything in this forest for she would've known someone was watching her. She never thought to look around or check to see if she was safe. She merely cared about the fact she might have tricked the Professor.

Apronia catches up to Alondra at last, leaping from behind a tree and pulling her to the ground just in time for the cohort of Grupharks to leap over them. The scaled felines, a little larger than bobcats, whine and thrash their pointed tails, yowling at one another as they move back to their hunting formation. Apronia stares at them for a moment, but feels no evil. Vaguely, she gets the impression the spirit is distracted, and thanks Merlin for it.
¨Alondra, aside from your current status as the prey of this cohort of Grupharks, the fate of Hogwarts may very well depend upon you staying out of this Forest. Now, we are going to stand up and run very very quickly back to the castle, where you will stay put. Don´t look back. Eye contact excites the Grupharks. And whatever you do, don´t cast magic at them. It only makes them angry.¨ she waits for Alondra to voice any objections, keeping as still as she can. The Grupharks wait as well, nervous under her cool gaze and reluctant to hunt unmoving prey.

Stepping away cautiously, Leigh swiped his claws at any centaur who came towards him. he growled, continuously warning them. He felt the breath, the hatred, the very being of the centaurs as they narrowed their human looking eyes at him. Leigh was no less than 100metres from the edge of the forest, and the centaurs were serious about keeping him away from the castle grounds.
In his tiger animagus form, he could fight, but as a wizard he was more deadlier. He wanted to keep the centaurs away from the school, incase any wandering students was not caught up in them.
Then suddenly his sensitive ears caught the whine of several grupharks. The Centaurs also heard them, and looked away, intrigued by the sound. Leigh used the distraction to his advantage. He quickly returned to his human self, pulled out his wand and held it above his head. He chanted a spell and the tip of his wand exploded into a dazzling bright light, casting out a miniature solar flare. The light hit the centaurs eyes and blinded them instantly.
Leigh smiled, put his wand away and turned back into his Animagus form. He immediately set off for the sound of the grupharks, knowing something was wrong. When he was in sight of the small group of catlike creatures, he halted and saw Apronia and Alondra on the ground.
Stupid girl! Leigh thought as he slowly made his way towards the group. He crept to within a few feet of the closest og gruphark, then he roared as loud as he could, scaring the feline beast away. The rest of the small group scattered, running away and hiding into the shadows.
Apronia looked at him, not sure of what to make of this new development. Leigh returned to his human form. "We go now! All three of us and no more deceiving us, Miss Redson!" Leigh gasped, soon hearing the galloping hooves of several centaurs. "Move now!"

Alondra's eyes widened when she saw what was coming at her. She looked at Apronia with a thankful stare. She didn't want to leave no matter how dangerous. She could sense their distress and it made her nervous. Normally when she was nervous her powers were set off. Soon she simply disappeared. She wasn't really gone.
