Rose sniffed the air and frowned. Being an animagus fox meant she could smell blood quite easily, and Marcius' scent suddenly disturbed her. She raised an eyebrow at him. "Hungry, were you?" she asked him.

Gary turned around and walked back to where Rose was. He saw her talking to Marcus and Lavender. " Hey" He walked past Marcus but stopped dead in his tracks....

Rose's curious smile turned into a frown the moment she saw Gary walk past. The blood..., she thought. "Have you taken your potion?" she whispered to him out of the corner of her mouth.

Gary twitched a bit. "Yes but it was a few hours ago." He tried to breath deeply but could smell the blood strongly. "Is he a vampire or what?"

"Not sure...looks more wolfish to me." She sniffed again, trying to discern his scent. "But not were-wolf..."

Gary twitched again as another whaft (spl) of blood came to him. He tried to hide it and smiled at Marcus and Lavender. "Hey, I'm Gary" He said, through gritted teeth.

"ye go on then ill help you polish it of" marcius said smiling as he lifted lavenders bottle and taking a swig while ignoring roses question.
noticing this guy who had just arived marcius put the bottle down and turned to face him "can i help you" he asked while fixing the new comer with an intense stare which disolved as soon as lavender turned back to look at him

Rose noticed Gary's awkwardness. "I think you ought to go. To the forest. Do you want me to come with you?" she said to him, her voice quiet and serious.

Lavender smiled. She didn't really know Gary but thought she would be poliet. "I'm Lavender" she smiled then looked back at Marcius.

Gary shuddered again. He could feel the potion wearing off. "Not yet." He turned to Maricus. " Yes you can help me. I was wondering why..2 Gary leant over and whispered in his ear "you've been drinking human blood?" He leant away quickly as the smell grew stronger. He shuddered again.

Rose gave Gary a stare, which she hoped he would know meant 'leave it...' She didn't want to cause trouble with someone she'd only just met, and who had been drinking human blood.

Gary stared back at Rose. "Hey Lavender!" He tried to cover up the shudders which were becoming more regular. He turned back to Marcius and stared into his eyes, searching for an answer.

marcius saw rose looking at gary and wrongly worked out what she was trying to tell him, deciding to ge to the defenceise before they could go on the offenceive he growled "if you 2 have something two say why dont you just come out and say it" as he slammed his drink down and stood up looking between rose and gary "cmon out with it" he said walking towards gary "you come over here and in a single second manage to ruin the mood that the 3 of us managed to build, what is your problem" he growled warning now nose to nose with gary

Rose sighed and ran a hand through her hair. She didn't normally get embarrassed, but this was pretty strange. She was worried about Gary, but she knew he could control himself. She was more worried about Marcius drinking blood...

Lavender saw what was going on and looked startled. She jumped out of her seat and grabed Marcius's arm. "Leave it Marcius! You'll get into trouble!"
