| | |  Fountain
 What might be a work of art, or is possibly what nightmares are made of, is the fountain outside the Leaky Cauldron. Large, gaudy and rather obnoxious, it is most definitely a centerpoint of the area. Built of crumbling stone, the fountain is tall and contains three tiers. Starting at the bottom, the fountain has a three-foot high wall. In the center and serving as a support beam is a water serpent that rises from the pool and to the very top. Winged cherubs with wicked looks in their eyes hang off the serpent and dragons peer from around his climbing body. If it feels like the dragons and cherubs are watching you, it’s because they probably are. One cherub has been missing his head for centuries. Cherubs and dragons alike spit water in many directions, sometimes at different intervals, creating a beautiful display when sunlight catches the dancing water.
However, the fountain is not merely a great sight. Perhaps it is haunted, or maybe cursed, for the fountain has a tendency to spit water at people. Those who loiter too long may find their faces wet. Try to sit down on the edge without dropping a coin and you may find yourself doused with water. However – do not try to outsmart the fountain. Dropping muggle money won’t buy you any time. On the contrary, those who drop muggle coins will find themselves pelted with coins.
Oh, and just a warning. Don't try to stick your hand into the water, especially in hopes of grabbing some money from the bottom. Creepy things with tentacles would love to bathe with you.

Unimpressed..
Orion Forest Thornhill was highly unimpressed.
Though to be fair, he wasn’t impressed with much in his life, his shady family who got a bit to nosy with his stuff, his shady extended family who liked to apparently spend most of their time behind bars then in front of them, his house at school, yellow was not only the stupidest color, but it represented the dumbest house alive. He was not sunshine and lolipops, he was cloudy and black licorice.
People most of the time annoyed him as well, they were loud and in your face and always giving their opinions when they weren’t warranted. He didn’t know why every single person he had met seemed to make it their mission in life to change his mind about his house!
Why was he not entitled to his own opinion? He didn’t call down Merlin’s wrath just because someone didn’t like pumpkin pie. I mean.. clearly they were missing out, but he respected it! Could anyone respect his opinion on his own house?
Nooooo..
He sighed and ran a hand through his dark rather untidy hair. Despite the sun he was dressed in a black hoodie with the hood up and black jeans. He didn’t care.. this was his comfort zone.. his happy place.. so to speak.
And now.. NOW he has just read they had to go to Beauxbatons! Merlin help them all,, he hoped the French were as rude as they were made out to be.. hopefully they could leave him alone and pretend he wasn’t there..
Ugh.. why.. just.. just why?

Carsyn was doing literally everything possible to ignore the fact that they were going to Beauxbatons in September. That it would likely be another year of not being able to play Seeker for Gryffindor. Tormenting a certain Hufflepuff was definitely on her list of making it easy to ignore the inevitable and French language preparations.
She rolled her eyes at his attire and just couldn't resist approaching. Because of course not; she was never one to shy away from these situations. She was of course, more appropriately dressed with short shorts and a tank top.
"Well well well.... You look hot." Just stating facts. Also there was a fountain right there that was super tempting, so he knew. | |

Speaking of things that Orion was unimpressed with.. here came one of them.
Carsyn was one of those people who kept trying to convince him that Hufflepuff was all rainbows and sunshine and just the absolute best place to be, just because her twin happened to be in the house.
Which was all lovely and nice and good for her twin. He was sure she adored it and was perfect and all that jazz.
But. Not. For. Him.
It was okay to have opinions, people had them all the time and it was fine.. and you didn’t need to convince them that their opinion was wrong. All you had to do was stay in your lane and smile and change the subject.. but no. He got pumpkin juice dumped on him.
“I like black. ” Was all he said as he looked at her from under his hoodie. And cooling charms existed.

If she wanted to convince him of the best place to be, that was OBVIOUSLY Gryffindor. But what she was trying to do was to get him to accept his sorting. The sorting hat placed him as a Hufflepuff, obviously not for his rosy disposition, but for some reason or other. Loyalty, perhaps?
She snickered, unwilling to let go on the subject. Especially when he made it SO easy. "Convenient then that black is one of your house colors." See. Hufflepuff. | |

There is definitely a change of temperature in the air now that spring time has approached. He has been doing a ton of spring cleaning not to mention putting away winter clothes in the attic, which is a very heavy load. He manages to clean the house for an entire week, his parents promised him that Nobi, their house elf would come visit but he didn't show up-- it only meant that his father needed Nobi. That's okay.
Jonathan took a stroll outside as soon as his weekend started. They were swamped at work but he is getting used to all of it by now-- it is more fun with Fletcher around. So yeah...
He walked and walked around until he found himself staring at a huge fountain. His one hand clutching the small plastic bag of groceries he began walking once again, circling around the fountain area. It has been awhile since he last step foot in here so seeing it right now felt a tad bit nostalgic. Stopping in the area with shade, Jonathan sits down and listens to the surrounding.
