Gwen frowned; Mercy had popped out of nowhere. Whatsmore, she'd swear she could hear voices coming from outside the hall. A boy's voice. Right next to the girl's washroom. Trailing away. She distinctly heard the word "Shae". Not cool. Definitely not cool.
Although Gwen was sad to leave Marie alone with Mercy - whom Gwen found extremely annoying - Gwen wanted to be sure that nobody aside from Dumbledore found out about Shae and Chris. She muttered something about having forgotten some homework, she walked out of the girl's bathroom and crept silently down the hallway, following the boy's voice. Stealthily, she picked up speed, and saw Brandon chasing after Shae. Even less cool. She took out a toffee, and quickly popped it into her mouth. She wanted to warn Shae, but she knew she couldn't do it discreetly without Brandon wondering or realizing what was happening. She leant against the wall, listening to what would be said, watching what would be done, her wand at the ready.

"Hey, Shae, I need to tell you something. You know about that dead kid? Well, let's just say I... ah... am trying to save him. Can you come with me for a minute?" |

I choked, my breath catching in my throat.
I turned around quickly and grabed Brandon by the shoulders. "Do you know who killed him?" I asked urgently, my face inches from his. I had to know if what I had done had spread, and if anyone-other than Gwen, that is-knew.

Gwen stood in the shadows; although she was hidden, she wanted to be sure. She saw Shae freak out at Brandon. She craned her neck; she wanted to hear what his answer was to her question, and just how much he felt on elaborating it. Gwen had learned quickly that the less people say, the more they know.

Marie nodded to Gwen as she left. "We... should really go get Joan up to the Hospital Wing, Mercy." She said, turning to Mercy. Marie had no clue where the pickle painting was.

Mercy nodded. "I know where the painting Gwen was talking about is. But.... Just a question. Isn't someone going to blame us for this? I saw the last dead person, too."

"Maybe. Most people know that I wouldn't hurt Joan, her being one of my friends." Marie shrugged, "I guess we just need to get to the Hospital Wing as soon as possible. Second of all: Joan is not dead; she's only unconcious."

Mercy nodded. "Well, I'm worried about myself but even so..." She shrugged. "You wanna carry her legs or head? Hehe."

I relaxed a bit, and let go of Brandon.
"Okay," I said softly, turning around. "Okay."
I continued walking towards Dumbledore's office.

Gwen let loose a silent sigh of relief; so Brandon didn't know anything about the body. Yet. she bitterly reminded herself. Quiet, self. Nobody's gonna find out anything. She saw Shae start to walk back to Dumbledore's office, and began to creep down the hall once again; Brandon was following Shae; he obviously had something to say.

I slowed down at Brandon's question, almost stopping and turning around to tell him. But I couldn't. He couldn't know. Breaking into a run, I changed my course.
Thanking every deity I could think of that I knew of secret passageways even the Marauder's Map didn't mention, I raced as fast as I could towards the library, slipping behind one of the bookshelves before anyone saw me, and crawled into the tunnel. Rolling to the side after reaching the other end, I prayed Brandon hadn't been able to follow me.
Shrugging off that worry, I turned to another tunnel and crawled through that. If he tried following me, let him. He'd just get lost in the maze.

Brandon was startled again.
He watched Shae run off, and decided to drop the matter.
"Oh great. So, now who can I tell about the fact that I HAVE THE FREAKIN' BODY?!" he grumbled, exceedingly upset over the fact he chose to try to save the kid.
