Zoe walked alone through the first few trees of the Forbidden Forest.
She was going to a clearing just west of Hagrids Hut.
She dodged bushes and low hanging branches.
Zoe heard a noise behind her and spun around, her wand outstretched, it's light falling on a scrawny fox.
She scolded herself for being startled by such a thing.
She wandered around until she finally found a clearing.
She held up her wand and a quiet whistle could be heard. It fell silent once again as the sound seemed to fly up into the air and over the trees.
A slight rustling came from overhead before a six foot black dragon appeared through the trees.
It had a long black snout with nostrils big enough to fit a child's hand in.
It's eyes were watery and grey, with black slits for pupils.
The whole dragon was black, even it's underbelly.
It was covered in black scales as hard as armor.
It landed on the floor beside Zoe and flexed it's wings.
Zoe patted the dragon on the next before reaching in a bag, she had slung over her shoulder, and pulled out a chunk of red meat.
She handed the dragon the meat and watched it pick the meat up, throw back it's head and swallow it whole.

Remembering she had detention that night Andrea bid goodbye to her friends and started out to her forbidden forest. She hurried to where she was to meet the professor, she hated being there and wanted to get the night over with as soon as possible. She saw her there and gasped when she saw there was a dragon there as well, it was one of the few things she was actually frightened of but she kept herself together. "Hello cousin." She said getting closer.

Zoe patted the dragon on the head. She watched it lick it's lips of the blood from the meat and smiled.
She turned around as she heard someone speak.
It was Andrea Black, her cousin.
She was related to Bellatrix Lestrange and seemed to be going the same way as her.
Zoe nodded, "Miss Black."
She followed Black's gaze up to the dragon and laughed.
"I see you've noticed Adela, then," she said, "yet, I suppose she's not really that hard to miss." She patted the dragon.
"She's a Gargouille, a famous dragon from France. She's been flying around here for weeks and, as she's notoriously vicious, she has angered the Centaurs. You're job, and Miss Chaplin's, when she arrives, is to help me get her into that cage," she pointed to a cage almost hidden by the trees, "but bear in mind, she's is a dragon, and she is vicious, and," she paused, "she hates being in a cage." |

Lucinda glanced around as she entered the forest. It was gloomy looking and Lucinda could help but feel slightly encouraged as the trees beckoned her forward. Her reason was not a good one, however, for she had detention with Professor Black and Andrea. This made Lucinda sigh, as the revelation came upon her that Professor Black and Andrea black were related.
She had just walked in on the conversation between Andrea and Professor Black without even realizing it. She did catch what their task was - to place a fustrated dragon in a cage so it would stop harassing the centaurs. This was going to be fun, she thought sarcastically.
"Huh," Lucinda said as she entered formally. "I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to be caged up like some common pet." She gazed at the creature with sympathy. But, detention was detention. "Shall we start?" she asked politely.[/size]

She smiled and nodded politely as she explained about what her detention was and about the Dragon but her anger started building up again as she heard who else had shown up there. "How about you just send me to Lucius and let him deal with me, or let Bella handle it? There is no way I'm working with Chaplin." She said stubbornly and crossed her arms, she had hoped they would be doing separate detentions but obviously she was wrong.

Lucinda was loosing her respect for Andrea more and more as the days progressed and their relationship declined. She mentioned sending herself to her dear old relative back up at the castle, for she did not want to work with Lucinda. Lucinda was not at all happy with the present situation either, but at least she had the moral to keep quiet about it.
"I would rather work with Peeves than to work with you, personally," Lucinda said smoothly. "However, this is our detention because your friends couldn't hold their tongues. Deal with it." Lucinda was sick of Andrea thinking herself superior. What was the fun in that? especially when she wasn't and she knew this, even if she wished to be in denial.[/size]

"I don't believe I was asking you." She snapped at the girl, "I was addressing the professor, and I think Professor Black is the only one here...that I can see anyways." She said. She would rather take whatever punishment her sister or Lucius could throw at her over what she was being asked to do, there was no way she would work with a Gryffindor and it be peaceful.

Lucinda rolled her eyes. Andrea was just being difficult and down right stupid. This was what Lucinda hated about Slytherin's, for most of them were too worried about their precious beings than anything else. She found it ridiculous that Andrea would be putting up such a fight about something as insignificant as detention.
"You're just being difficult," she sighed. She wasn't going to give in to this nonesense.[/size]

She rolled her eyes in return but said nothing, she didn't want their detention to get extended. "How do we get this thing in the cage?" She asked Professor Black and looked at the dragon, the things truly terrified her, that's why she wasn't in that Dragon class thing, she never even wanted to come close to one and now her worst fear at the moment was coming true.

Zoe looked between the two arguing girls.
At the mention of Lestrange, she was furious.
She addressed Andrea's question by throwing her a cross.
She passed one to Lucinda too.
"Sorry about the blood," she said, "it's off the meat I gave her earlier. Looks like you're going to have to get your hands dirty like a common House Elf, Miss Black," she snapped. She really didn't like Andrea, and her relation to Lestrange didn't lighten the matter.
"Now," she said, regaining her patience, "these dragons are unholy. They attacked France from the Seine River and planned to flood the land. An Arch Bishop named Saint Romain tamed the dragon using a cross, and then slaughtered it by burning it.
"The dragons natural instincts are to fear the cross as it caused the death of their ancestor.
"You just have to force the dragon into the cage using these crosses. I will help you."
She paused and looked at the dragon. It's watery eyes were glowering at the crosses.
"Now, Lucinda was quite right in saying that Adela doesn't like been caged up, but it is for her own safety," Zoe help up one of Adela's wings and revealed arrow holes in the thin membrane, "The Centaurs have been shooting her with arrows for fear that she may attack them, she is not yet full size, so will feel intimidated by the Centaurs, thats why we must get her out of here." |

She scowled at her "Is that really anyway way to talk to your family?" She asked her 'Cousin' she didn't like her but she had to respect her, they were after all...family, she was just a blood-traitor. She sat there and glared at her "If Narcissa ever saw this she'd go mad, doing servants work." She said directly to her and just fell silent shortly after, she was not to be tested...she was tired and the forest made her jumpy, she would curse anyone who got within 5 feet of her if she didn't know.

Andrea showed some disrespect toward her relation, Professor Black. Lucinda wanted to scold her for showing such disrespect, but refrained due to the fact that another heated agrument with Andrea would get them nowhere. Nobody really cared about who the hell Andrea was related to, and Lucinda really wished that Andrea would shut up about all those 'terrifying' relatives of hers. She was so insecure about herself that she had to hide behind them, using them as shields. She could explain her entire family tree to Lucinda and Lucinda still would not be afraid, nor would she care, for that matter.
Lucinda kept silent as they snapped at each other, and listened to the instructions. Andrea seemed a bit jumpy, probably because the Forbidden Forest held many secrets and mysteries. Lucinda would love to explore it if they weren't stuck in detention.
Sighing, Lucinda drew out her wand and looked at the dragon, standing still. She wondered why this was going to be so difficult. If the dragon was accustomed to Professor Black's touch, couldn't they just guide the dragon into the cage? Set a trap? This revelation confused Lucinda but was sure Professor Black would explain. Therefore, Lucinda waited patiently for the teacher's response.[/size]

Andrea looked around worriedly, she hated this detention...she would have taken the cruciatus ten time(Which she would have gotten from her sister in the end) then do this, the forest scared her beyond belief and for once she was not afraid to let her guard down she she ran to her cousins side checking all sides of her...she didn't know anything about where she was but shortly after she got over it partially but not completely for she never left Zoe's side.

Zoe scowled, "Ha, like you really want me as your family, Miss Black. What're you expecting? Favoritism? I do not favor those who think the murders who killed everyone decent in this family were right to do so."
She held up the cross and Adela cowered.
Zoe let go of her anger and continued to teach.
"Now, both of you get on either side of her and guide her into the cage. Do not let her get away, the Centaurs will kill her before long."
Zoe said this with a nervous glance around the clearing.
She walked forward with the cross held high. Adela roared, but Zoe kept her ground.

"Whatever." She muttered under her breath and did as she was told "Oh and for the record I don't want favoritism." She said rolling her eyes and moving slowly, she didn't like the dragon or the forest at all for the moment and wanted it to be over and fast just to get away. "Great...centaurs." She said and rolled her eyes once more irritated with the thought of them. 'Filthy half-breeds.' she thought to herself and got off of her knees and brushed herself off and waited so she could work with Lucinda which was something she would never agree too but she didn't want another detention so she would do what was needed.
