What was it about an unfortunately shaped tree that drew such attention to it? As Piper sat, at a safe distance, gazing on at the Whomping Willow she couldn't see anything particularly pleasing about it. The bark was old and withered, its shape twisted and erratic... some might have said that the tree had character, but all Piper saw was an old, ugly tree taking up space. The only thing that kept her from dismissing it completely was that it was dangerous. Such things did demand a certain amount of respect. But most of the students here didn't do that. Instead they saw fit to tempt fate, taunt the beast. A heavy frown settled over Piper as she thought about this.

Nix walked down and away from the school slowly so no one would see her or they wouldn't take notice of her atleast, her hair brushed over sholders in the light breeze and she smiled to herself a she felt her dark ribbon flicking over her fingers. She started down towards the whomping willow and pulled her wand from her robe pocket and looked around, she would have to wait for everyone to be gone before she went but it seemed that most people were inside ,seeing as it was the middle of the day and people ether had classes or lunch or extra homework to be getting on with

As a girl came into view Piper squared her shoulders. She didn't recognize her as someone of importance so felt comfortable to toss a unfriendly greeting her way. But not before she took a moment to observe the odd behavior that was being displayed. It seemed as though the girl was looking about for a sign of unfavourable audience. Piper's mouth was opened, poised to speak up, but now that some intent of misdeed was being shown she clamped it shut preferring to catch the girl in the act rather than ward her off of doing something wrong in the first place.

Nix walked down to the small line of trees that blocked the whomping willow off from the normal grounds and then looked over her sholder and pushed through them and slid out on to the other side and looked up at the tree and smiled, she pulled off her shoes and socks and then her robe and stuffed her socks inside her shoes and wrapped her robe round her shoes and tucked them under the nearest tree and looked around ,it seemed to be clear, but it was always safe to wait a little longer than be caught

For a moment, Piper lost sight of the odd girl, something that did not please her in the least. Despite the inconvenience of moving before she was ready to, Piper silently got to her feet and followed along the make shift path that the girl had carved for her to follow. Keeping as inconspicuous as was possible she stayed close the the trees so that, if attention was drawn, she might slip behind one to conceal herself. What was this girl doing?

Nix checked over her sholder and then nodded to herself and ran a hand through her hair and took a step forwards and felt the grass under her bare feet, she had to do this more often! She looked around a final time and then ducked behind the largest tree on the grounds and slid out of her clothes and then flicked her wands and felt the burning heat spread over her body as she changed, she slid her wand into her mouth to keep her from screaming as her bones moved into they other form and as black hair sprouted all Over her body and then the pain was gone. Everything looked brighter and she gave a dark smile and then nudged her clothes In to a ball and laid Down to rest for a moment behind the tree ,she'd move in a moment
*if your wondering, she's an animagus, she becomes a wolf*

A strange noise, rather faint from the distance that Piper was at, assualted her. It was sickening really, the crunching and popping of what, and her stomach churned with the thought of it, sounded like bones. Piper halted basically hugging the tree as the wave of nausea passed. Only once it had and her knees stopped wobbling from the wozzy feeling that had over took her did Piper continue, slipping around the trees to see a black wolf curled up in relaxation. Just to be on the safe side Piper's wand was out and pointed at the wolf. She glared at the beast skeptically. She could have sworn that a girl had come this way.

Nix took a deep breath and then paused and almost gave a wolfy snigger but noticed she had her wand still in her mouth and didn't want to snapping that, she forced herself up on to her paws and walked over to the base of the tree she was under and nudged her robes with her nose to slid them in to a hollow at it's bottom and then dipped her furry head. She turned away from the tree and looked over her sholder and then padded quinclytowarsa the whomping willow wih her wand still in her mouth but her jaw was slack so she couldn't break it by accident, she liked her wand and didn't want to break it over a little wolfy accident

The movement made Piper uneasy. She was on edge ready to defend herself if the need arose, but the wolf didn’t seem interested in her. In fact it all but ignored her, which, didn’t sit all that well with her either. Piper was accustomed to be acknowledged and she felt insulted, as silly as that might have seemed. As the wolf headed off down to the Whomping Willow Piper followed now even more curious than before. The hiding of the clothing confirmed, at least she made the assumption, that the wolf was the girl. She was an animagus it seemed. “What are you doing?” Piper demanded her patience wearing thin, and knowing that she could be answered back under the circumstances.

Nix moved quickly towards bs whomping willow and heard the familiar sound of it's branches beginning to creak and whip around above her when she heard a voice behind her. Out of habit she dropped her wand and span round on her paws and looked behind her to see another girl, A slytherin and a prefect it seemed. Her eyes narrow and she fight back a deep snarl and flicked her tail and then lowered her wolfy head ,she wouldn't hesitate to jump the girl of she follow her or gave her secret away. She wasn't meant to do this while still at school but it wasn't something she could stop herself from doing

Piper's eyes lit up with fury. She did not just growl at her. Didn't the girl know who she was? "Growl at me again you flirthy little mutt, I'll put a muzzle on you." To make herself clear, to avoid the wolf girl thinking it an empty threat, Piper raised her wand directing the tip square at her face. Piper didn't take kindly to being disrespected and the girl had done just that. How dare she growl at her, try to intimidate her!

Nix felt her fur bristle. Her hackles rose on her back and her tail flicked up and she didn't hold back the next snarl that ripped through her body, her paws dug into the ground and claws filled with mud as she took a step towards the slytherin girl and snarled again. Couldn't talk to her like this and the girl clearly didnt know when a wolf was mad it's way of fixing things was to make what ever was causing it to be mad bleed and hurt, nix saw her vision tint red and felt the tang of metal in her mouth. Bloodlust. Her favourite thing about her wolf form

She held her ground, far too arrogant to care that the wolf girl was on the verge of pouncing on her. Besides that Piper was confident that she would be able to shoot off a spell before the girl could cross the distance between them. Her attention was on the wolf's movements watching for any sign that she would jump. "You attacking me would make my day." Piper sneered. "Perfectly exceptable reason for me to harm you more thoroughly than a simple stunning spell. Self-defense against, what I couldn't possibly know if an animagus, a students aren't allowed to change while at Hogwarts." She hoped that the girl didn't think she was bluffing because she would be in for a big surprise. Piper was vicious. "Try me." She goaded, mixed in with the anger in her eyes was excitement now hoping that the girl would do something stupid. Seeing the wolf in pain would give her great pleasure and Piper thought justice... growl at her.

Nix smiled and then cocked her head to one side ,"really kiddie, you'd play with me?" she thought to herself and then grinned and looked up at the darkening sky around her ,it was her night tonight. All the others would be changed in the forest tonight and she'd be with her pack for that one night a month, she didn't want to waste her time with some stupid snotty snooty slytherin girl

"Now," Piper straightened making herself just a little bit taller. "Be an obedient mutt and change back so I can send you off to the castle." Her brow raised, challenging the girl to be defiant. Being a Prefect wa a power that Piper relished. Besides how could she not listen? She was breaking the rules.
