Locking herself in one of the toilet cubicals, she sat down adn let silent tears roll down her cheeks and wetten her lap. How could she tell them what she did now? How could she tell Andy?
Letting the tears fall as she tried helplessly to answer these questions herself, she was startled slightly when she heard someone else coming into the bathroom. Hurriedly, she tried to wipe away the tears, and pat dry her lap which was now rather obviously darker than the rest of her dress. Realising it wasn't going to dry, she placed her hand over it and it came out and froze on top of the cloth. She broke the piece of ice offand dropped it into a bin then wiped her face once more before opening the door.
A tall, rather gangly man with croped blonde hair and grey eyes was standing at the entrace door to the bathroom, peering in. He saw her come out and smiled. "Hey. I saw you come in here, and thought I'd wait and say hello when you came out." When he saw the rims of her eyes were slightly red, a look of concern crossed his face. "Are you alright?"
Nierme hadn't seen Nialle since before she had left. He, or she as she had been then, had retreated to deep inside the forbidden forest for a few months, needing some space and time to think to herself. She smiled at the Sylph as best she could, but knew it was useless trying to hide anything for her treelike friend.
"I'm just dealing wit it all. Haven't seen anyone for so long, and I had to leave so suddenly. I kinda left alot of things unfinished, and missed alot of goodbyes." Nierme went over the the sink and washed her face. Patting it dry with a small hand towel, it soon lost all blemish from crying that had just a few moments ago been very noticable against her pale skin.
"Anyway, I'm fine now. How have you been, I haven't seen you for so long." she put her arms around the sylph, embracing him to make up for lost years of conversasion.
"I've been good. I still live in the Forbidden Forest and still study here at Hogwarts, occasionally taking over as a substitute if needed."
"That's great." Nierme was trying to show as much enthusiasim as possible to try throw Nialle off the scent of her worry and sorrow, which she knew all too well he could sense. He had a knack for it. "You always did say you never wanted to leave this place. So it's great you're still here."
"And how have you been? What have you been up to since your sudden disappearance?"
Nierme stopped for a moment, not knowing what to say. She couldn't lie to Nialle, but she didn't want tell him the truth either, so she decided to be as vague as possible.
"I've been around. Travellig alot, meeting lots of people." That last remark was no word of a lie, but it had never been your usual kind of meeting. "I've been busy with work too. Always getting called in and stuff. Was surprised they let me come here." She was fumbling, and knew Nialle knew by the look on his face. But she became worried when his face suddenly turned grave.
"Nierme, I know what you do now. Dumbledore told me a while after you left, because I was asking. I'm sorry."
Her face fell and she slumped heavily into a chair. Nialle took a seat beside her and waited for her to respond. Nierme just sat there, shocked and scared, looking at all the people she once went to school with and felt her heart heave itself into her throat at the thought of them too knowing what she was and what she did. They were both silent for some time. ((Just needed to see what I had written last on this page))

The silence between them was broken by a squeal of happiness and excitement. Looking up, they saw KoNeko pushing her way through the sea of people to get to them. Several glasses were spilt in the process.
She came practically leaping towards Nierme and Nialle, and wrapping her arms round them, pulled them towards her in a close knit group bear hug. Pulling away, Nialle laughed, and Nierme grinned, revealing her now slightly larger fangs.
KoNeko hadn't changed a bit. She was still as energetic and excitable as always. "Oh my god!! I've been looking for you guys everywhere! I haven't seen you for years! Wow. This is great. We're all getting together again. YAY!" She squealed again, unable to hold in her excitement.
"So what have you been doing?" Nialle asked. "I heard you were trying to get into law still."
"Yeah. I'm now a lawyer, and deal with cases on misuse of wizarding and witchcraft powers. You'd probably be surprised at how many people there are who abuse their powers. I get cases every single week. It can be tedious at times, but I still love it. It's my good doing for the world to make it a better place." She then grinned mischieviously and leaned in towards them half whispering, "I'm also working on releasing my own line of premade adn ready to mkae yourself jellyshots, but were still working on the flavours." She winked, then stood up straight again. "So then...what you two been up to?"
She turned to Nierme, expecting her to speak first, but Nialle did instead and went into more detail about what he had been up to at Hogwarts, and his casual teaching position and advanced studies. I'm still studying law as well, but I'm going to wait a while before taking the final exam. You know, just so I don't feel like I have to instantly become a lawyer and leave here. This is really my home now, and myself and Dumbledore have become such close friends."
Nierme began to shift uneasily on her feet. She could feel KoNeko was going to ask her what she was doing, adn still didn't want to talk about it. Not here with so many people anyway. She was relieved when she heard a trumpet blow. "Ah. That must be the signal for us to sit for the feast. We best be getting to our house tables."
She began to walk over when Nialle stopped her. "Hey. After all this is over, why don't we all, meaning the Glenmorians we can find, come back to the cave. I still have all your rooms just the way you left them. A little dusty perhaps, but we can sit down with coffee, cookies and cocoa. What do ya say?"
Nierme smiled. "I think that is great idea. We can all talk properly then."
"Yeah! I can't wait to see my loft again with all it's straw," KoNeko grinned.
"I'll make sure we have plenty of everything to go around then. I'll spread the word to everyone else who used to live there. See ya's there if not before. I trust you still know the way?"
"Couldn't forget it," Nierme replied.
"Great." Nialle looked at the fast filling tables. "We'd best get to our tables before we don't have seats to grab. I'll see you both later anyway." He winked, then rushed over to the Ravenclaw table.
"I'll catch up wiht you then," KoNeko said. "Let's hope there aren't any sparkling marshmallows." With that, she grinned and went to the Hufflepuff table.
Nierme made her way back to the Slytherin table where Leia and Chris had saved a spot for her between them. She took it graciously.
"You OK now?" Chris asked with concern. "You seemed pretty upset when you ran off."
"Oh, just all the memories and meetingup and stuff. I just saw Nialle. He's wanting all of us to meet back at Glenmore in the Cave after all of this, just like old times."
"Great!!" said Leia. "Hope there's going to be cookies and coffee and cocoa, minus the sprakling marchmallows."
Chris grinned. "I wouldn't miss a Glenmore meet up for the world.

YAY!!
I'm really happy with the story so far, cos everyone I have included has said I've done their characters really well. That means alot to me cos it means I have been paying attention.
I'll be posting up more ASAP. I realised today that I only have a month and then I'm gone for a month, and En was hoping for me to get this finished before I went. Son I should be adding to it more regularly. Hopefully every 2-4 days.

OK, so I haven't added to this as much as I would have liked. But I am now adding more. I hope you all still like it from here.
McGonagall tapped a spoon against a goblet, letting a shrill ring throughout the hall and all four tables fell silent. Soon, one by one, all the professors that had taught the group of people that sat at the four tables said a speech about how proud they were adn what a pleasure it had been to teach them those several years ago. Once all the other professors had spoken, and McGonagall had finished her speech, she announced that Professor Dumbledore would like to speak to them all.
He was sitting in his beautiful chair at the center of the professors table, and had been watching each student while the other professors had been talking, reminising about the days when they were all still his little students. After a moment, Professor Dumbledore stood, with slight difficulty, and proceeded to address the former students with a smile on his face.
"In all my years of teaching here at Hogwarts, I have never had a class quite as interesting and diverse as this one. We've had our share of regular witches adn wizards, but have also had the pleasure of becoming aquainted with some more unique people such as children of fairies, friendly vampires, comical kitsune, delightful sylphs, and mysterious banshees." His voice trailed off and he stood silent for a moment before continuing. Nierme felt her breath catch in her throat.
"Being a year with such diversity, I saw great things in all of you. Many of you achieved great things while here at Hogwarts, and some of you haven't left." He smiled and cast his warm gaze upon Nialle.
"Others have moved on and become successful in the magical world. And there are some who have found your place in the muggle world. And of all of you, with all your differences, not one of you has failed in life. I am proud to have taught you here in past years, and it has fulfilled my life having been able to see you all once again." There was happiness and pride for the group of people that sat before him in his voice. But there was also a slight hint of pain and sorrow. Everyone put it down to him being emotional on seeing them again.
"Now then, I'm sure you don't want to hear me babble all night, and I'm sure you all have some catching up to do as well. So, let the feast begin."
Suddenly, the tables were laden with and enormous banquet with foods of every kind. There was beef and pork, chicken and lamb. Pumpkin, potatoes, exotic fruits, and all sorts of other wonderful edible things. The room began to buxx once agian with talking and laughing and munching.
Nierme didn't really eat much. She kept pushing the food on the plate in front of her around, but never really ate any of it. She kept looking up at Dumbledore with concern, then back down at the still full plate of food. Occasionally she would look around the table at her fellow Slytherins. She caught Andy a little further up the table on the opposite side looking at her, and she quickly turned away, not wantign to have to meet his gaze for long. For the rest of th feast she could feel his eyes upon her.
Once the feast was over, everyone was allowed free roam of the school grounds, provided they stayed away from anywhere they weren't allowed to go when they were students. the rules still applied, adn for good reasons, which most of them now well knew. When this was announced, Andy watched as Nierme quickly rose with the rest of the crowd that was in a rush, and head straight over towards Dumbledore. He watched as they exchanged greetings, which seemed rather serious for such a happy occasion, and then as they walked out of the great hall towards where Dumbledore's room was. He sighed and stayed seated, resting his chin in his hands.
Nialle and KoNeko also saw her walk away with Dumbledre and thought it a little odd. They exchanged quizzical glances, before heading out of the great hall to re-explore together the school they loved.

It was some time before Nierme emerged again. When Nialle and KoNeko found her wandering the halls of Hogwarts, they could see her eyes were still rimmed slightly with red and her hands were trembling slightly. But she smiled as she greeted them again and it seemed to disappear.
"Hey. I was hoping I would find you two again. I spose we should get going to that Meet up at Glenmore and get the hot chocolate on before everyone else arrives."
KoNeko grinned. "You're right. We should get going. Do we need to pick up anything beforehand Nialle?"
"We could probably do with some more sugar and milk, cos you know I don't really use it much. And definately more cookies. Can never get enough of those things. I know where we can get some here in the school. You guys start heading to The Cave, and I'll take care of it and meet you both there." Nialle smiled and a twinkle came to his eye. "It's going to be so good to have you all there again."
"Yeah. Umm...I don't suppose it would be possible for some of us to stay over night would it?" Nierme suddenly enquired.
"Of course you can stay over night! You can stay the rest of the week if you like. Or the rest of the year." Nialle was obviously starting to get very excited about the whole thing as he was almost bouncing on the spot.
"Great." Nierme smiled at Nialle. "I spose you should get onto that sugar and cookies, and KoNeko and I should start heading over the The Cave. We'll see you there."
"Yes, I'd better. See you both soon."
With that, Nialle disappeared round a corner and was gone. Nierme adn KoNeko started heading outside towards the Forbidden Forest. The took their time as KoNeko told Nierme in more detail what she had gotten up to over the years. Nierme listened, but didn't say much and KoNeko worriedly started to notice this.
"You've been awfully quiet Nierme. I thought you'd bursting at the seams to tell us what you had been up to all these years," KoNeko suddenly stated. She looked at Nierme who dropped her head but kept walking.
"I just haven't been up to all that much I guess," she lied. This wasn't the time or the place to discuss such things, especially being so close to the forest after dark. "We should hurry. I can feel eyes watching us from the trees."
They both fell silent and stayed that way until they were inside the cave. Pushing aside the weathered blue blanket that covered the entrance, they saw that the fire in the common room had already been lit, giving the cave a warm glow. KoNeko ran out into the rest of the cave and went straight to her loft and layed down on the soft straw in her beloved loft. Nierme just stood there, letting fond memories wash over her and bring a smile to her face.
