Walking over to Mat, careful of the flying balloons Julian grinned when the boy started tossing multiple balloons at Kaitlynnh. "Yup," He responed, taking Matias' salamander for him and then started for a safer place to stand and watch where he and Seth wouldn't be hit by mistake.

"You wouldn't dare do anything, and I know it" Savannah called after Dusty, just as quick as Rapunzel sent a balloon her way. She took a step back, cuping her hands like a baseball glove or something. Hey, you would catch these things! .. Maybe not as fast as they were flying, not to break.. nonetheless! "And don't call me Savina!" She added, scowling as she caught the balloon. Unfortunately it still popped, and lime green slime dipped from her fingers. Atleast I caught it.. Savannah thought, wrinkling her nose and wiped her hand in the grass to rid of the goo.

Refraining from yelling after Legend, Kaitlynnh simply chucked a balloon towards his head, and unexpectedly got hit in the back. Feeling to see if it were just water, or slime, she immediantly glared after both Lysander and Matias. "URGH! Stupid boys.." It was slime.

Thinking quickly, she turned from whatever everyone else was going to see, and went over towards the pool, plopping down onto a chair.

"I'm coming!" Vannah said, abruptly going towards where she heard Lexi, which was..inside the shed. What was she doing inside there? Right as she approached the wooden mini house, if you will, Lexis came out holding a rope, and.. a HIPPOGRIFF followed after.

Her mouth fell open at the sight; They had talked about Hippogriffs on so many different occasions, even joked about having one, or entering somewere with one. Why was she surprised? "Oh my..WHY are you just now telling me!?" Savannah asked, thoroughly shocked expression plastered on her face. She wasn't mad at Lexi, she was amazed that the girl had actually gotten her hands on such a dangerous, big, beautiful creature! AND managed to hide it.

"He's...SO cute!" Vannah commented, giggling as that sounded silly, but Reptar was! "He's not being territorial, either..no bowing needed?" She noticed, still not looking away from the large half-horse half-eagle animal. "Either you trained him, or he has identity problems like TK?" Savannah went on, curiously. So very tempted to reach up and pet it.

"Wabid ish too small, and has no tumbs, he can't pway dis game." Lainie said after Rapunzel's silly question. She stopped in her tracks, as the older girl called them all over. Shrugging small shoulders, Laih skipped over to her Auntie Savannah, since she had gotten there first, and the toddler didn't want to wait for Dusty or anyone else.

"Ohhh! Hippogiff?" The child asked, gasping. She had to look up, and still couldn't even begin to make eye-contact with the thing. She was far too small, and looking to her dazed Auntie, Lainie noticed the creature was even taller than the grown up kids.

Danny laughed merrily as Lainie turned back and stuck her little tounge out at him. She was now getting wet. He was glad Savannah had brought her and Obie. They were both so tiny and it didnt make him the smallest anymore. Even though Obie was almost the same height as him and the little boy was only five, while he was seven. Weird how that can work out sometimes.

"Sucess!" Benny punched the air as the waterballoon hit Curtis. He was so busy celebrating, the seventeen year old didnt see Curt throwing one back. He looked back just in time as the hufflepuff's balloon hit him in the chest. "Cold!" he shouted. He then laughed and began scouting out for his next target.

Sam was grinning from ear to ear that she had hit Dusty when she felt cold water erupt from over her head. It soaked in her hair and went down her neck. Looking around she saw Curt stading a few feet away from her. She stuck her tounge out at him and threw one back at him. "I hope that one is slimy Curtis!" she yelled after him, secretly hoping it was.

Obie was still running all over the yard. Energy pumped through his veins like fuel pumped through an engine. He was having the time of his life. A waterballoon fell from out of his pocket, but the five year old didnt notice. He held in his hand a green balloon. Chucking it above his head he watched it fly and land on a boy with sandy hair. "Yay!" the little boy clapped as he saw slime fall on him.

Danny was smiling still as something sticky ran down his leg. He looked down and saw that he had gotten slimed. Chuckling over at Obie, he stepped away from the game as he saw a feather leave from the shed. Wait was that a beak?

Sam was picking up another balloon when she heard Alexis calling them over. She walked over, keeping herself armed just in case, and saw a hippogriff. A hippogriff! "Lex! Where in the world did you get him?" Sam asked. She hoped she didnt steal him or anything. Lexi would never do anything illegal, but she knew how much the older Gryffindor loved hippogriffs.

Danny walked to the people who were begining to crowd the shed and saw a big bird/horse thing. It was beautiful! Danny loved animals. He wanted to touch it. Reaching his hand out to pet it, he felt somebody pull him back.

Benny saw his little brother reaching for the hippogriff and pulled him back. He had learned in school that hippogriffs were very proud. They could be very dangerous if they felt threatened, so he of course pulled Danny away before he could get hurt.

"Sorry Dan-Dan. I know you want to touch him, but he could stomp on you if he wanted to. Wait until Alexis says its ok." he said ruffling the seven year olds hair. His little brother was very fond of animals he was begining to notice. He was glad Danny was starting to grow a hobby. Danny was very shy around people. But when it came to animals, he was a lot like his cousin Savannah.

Just as Vee was about to sit down, Lex called them all over to show them something. Good merlin, I wonder what this chick's got up her sleeve this time, she thought as she grabbed Dusty by the arm and walked over to the group. She knew if she hadn't of grabbed him, he would have never known where they were going. That was one of the benefits of being his older sister - one out of a handful, right?

"Hey!" Dusty yelled as he was suddenly being pulled towards a crowd of people. "What's the big idea Vee?" He frowned, but followed. There was no way he could overpower his sister. Yes, he was clearly a 'man', but she was freakishly strong for a girl. "Oi! Jae! C'mere!" he called to the eight year old who was just as oblivious as he was.

On hearing his name, Jae scurried after his two cousins and ended up next to Danny. "Wha' we lookin' at?" The little boy was still attempting to get the slime out of his face. Clearly he had gotten out a while ago, but he still ran around everyone with his arms spread like a bird. "This is nasty," he chuckled, pulling an extra large piece of slime out of his hair.

"Lex! Wow!" That was all Valencia could say when she saw the large Hippogriff standing before them. Normally, this would have shocked some people, but with Alexis it didn't. She knew Savannah and her both had an obsession with the mammal and it was only a matter of time before one of them got one. She still couldn't believe it as her sea green eyes scanned the gorgeous creature.

As soon as Dustin layed eyes on the creature he swore under his breath in Spanish. Did Lex seriously have what he thought that thing was? No way! She did! "You're insane!" he exclaimed, clapping her on the back with full admiration. He couldn't actually believe that someone he knew had a Hippogriff. It was unreal. His summer just got so much better.

"Whoah!" James yelled. The Hippogriff gave him a fright when he saw it, but he immediately exhaled. Someone he knew actually had one of these. He couldn't believe his eyes! "Does he let ya ride 'em?" he asked Alexis. He didn't take his eyes off the creature as he spoke. Instead, he seemed to be in a trance.

Surprised that his sister was showing everyone Reptar Legend shook his head. What a good way to ruin a water fight. Dropping the balloon in his hand, Legend scanned the yard and noticed Katie sitting in a pool chair. Running up to her he plopped down beside the girl. “Ickle Katie Cub cwanky?” He asked in a baby voice. Of course he knew that was going to get her angry. That was the point.

Giggling at Savannah’s question Alexis shrugged. “Umm, never got the chance to before? I just got him three days ago.” Petting the huge creature, Lex wasn’t surprised by their reactions. It wasn’t everyday you saw a hippogriff. “TK doesn’t have identity problems!” She exclaimed, was Savannah blind? TK knew who he was…he just acting that way because he was evil. Seeing Lainie’s interest in the animal Lex walked over picked the young girl up, and put her onto the Hippogriffs back. “See he’s safe.” She said, because if he was a danger clearly she wouldn’t have put the small girl on his back.

“I got him from my uncle. My uncle Mike has connections.” Alexis said to Punz and Sam.

Laughing at Dusty’s comment Alexis nodded. “Thanks, it’s so fun to be insane. Being sane just isn’t as much fun you know?” Turning to Jae she pointed to Lainie. “You can sit on him but you can’ ride him. This is a muggle area so…I think they’d go completely bonkers if they saw a flying horse, eagle. But I had ridden him, yup. Not here though.”


Shaking his head Tyson said nothing. One of Amber’s rules from the beginning was don’t bring out Reptar…oh well. Guessing that the water fight was over he walked over to the rest of the group and nodded at what Alexis had said. “Yeah no riding the wonderfully weird Reptar.” Tyson said quietly. Alexis was pretty bizarre (not that he hadn’t already figured this out), yeah hippogriffs were fun, but a pet one? He didn’t say anything about it though. Lex wouldn’t be Lex if she wasn’t bizarre. “What are you lot scared?” He said with a smirk, when he noticed that they were all staying far back form the animal.

Not worried or scared by the people gathering around him Reptar gave a small sound to greet them all.

Ari continued to run, not caring if any balloons hit her or not. Right now she was enjoying the feeling of being free. She had to be, she'd be too busy cooped up in her own little world if there wasn't someone to help her out of her grove. Good thing this vacation came around, th perfect timing she thought as she ducked something heavy and stopped, catching her breath. Just as she ducked down to stop a stitch in her side something gooshy splattered on her back. "Ewwww!" She groaned, turnign her head and seeing the lsime.

She was about to run towards the culprit when she saw it. A gorgeous Hippogriff just calling her name. She walked in a daze, not hearing what others were saying as she approached it, her green eyes full of wonderment. "Wow, hello there boy, how's it going?" She asked, stopping to gaze at his head. "I looked like that?" She asked, pointing to the eagle portion pf his body with a quirked up eyebrow. It was so beautiful, she couldn't help but stand there as someone sat upon the great beast and sat there.

Walking over to Lexi she smiled "Do you think your Uncle has anymore he can part with? This would be a wonderful opportunity for me to begin my training." She said leaning close to her. "Or if not a Hippogroff, then an Ashwinder or Niffler would be fantastic. For research purposes only of course." She continued, forgetting where she was.

William stopped noticing the Hippogriff and blinking. He had never seen one up close before. Just staring at the creature with the body of a horse but wings and head of an eagle was enough for william to stop his pranking schemes and walk up to stand beside Ariana who was speaking to the strange Lexi girl. He stood silently, afraid to pet the creature, but wanting to feel the feathers in his fingers.

William sighed, beginning to feel a bit bored ad shook his hair out of his eyes. He needed to do something but he knew Ari would condemn him to is room, though he knew she couldn't use her magic for anoter year, which meant another year of torment. Grinning widly, he looked around, the perfect time to pull a small prank. Making it look as if he was about to fall he caught a hold of Ari and slipped a time released stink pellet in her robes. He stumbled back as she looked at him and he shrugged, "I slipped, " was all he said as he stepped back to see his plan go into action.

Ari felt her cousin fall into her but shurgged it off, to into the Hippgriff to notice him do anything other than say something dumb. She shook her long brown hair out of her eyes and pulled it into a pony tail, unaware of the disater to come. "Where do you ride him if you can't ide him here?" She asked, turning to Lexi with a curious glance.

Ok guys im fast forwarding the day again XD Sowwy but it had to happen Ok its NOT the beginning of the day it’s around evening time Annnnnd everyones outside. Unless you want your charrie to be inside 0_o

Already outside Legend sat by the cool his feet in the water. It was getting late and he was usually not aloud to go in or by the pool at this time when his father was around. But he was not around. Kicking his feet he kicked the water up. It was like…July 17th or something what was the point in sleeping outside when they had beds inside? He thought gazing around the backyard. The usually empty lawn now had a number of different magically tents set up. There was a big fire in the middle of the lawn where most of the kids surrounded. Ohhh campout…how fun…not.

Running down the stairs Alexis almost slipped because of her speed. Catching herself before she fell she made her way back outside. That was the problem with going back and forth into the house, she barley paid attention to where she was going. Taking her seat beside Dusty by the campfire she took something out of her pocket and gave a small smirk. “I have a plan.” She said from the corner of her mouth making sure Savannah or anyone else could not hear the.

Wrinkling her nose at the fire Amber wasn’t surprised at all that this was Tyson’s idea. Tyson and fire, it wasn’t really unexpected. When they were younger he once burned down a tree in her backyard. Needless to say; Tyson was far worse than her own brother Jet when it came to fires. “Oy, you better not burn down Uncle Al’s house. He’ll kill me.” Amber yelled to her younger cousin.

Winking at Amber, Tyson chuckled. Of course she’d think he’d burn down the house. You burn down one thing down when you 8 and you’re scarred for life. Seeing his younger brother bye the pool he sighed. That kid really hated him. And for what? He had done nothing wrong. Walking over other to the little kids Tyson grinned. “You lot alright?”

Sitting by the fire and gently stroking Jae's hair as his head rested on her lap, Valencia was perfectly at ease. She was tired, yes, especially after the days events, but she was satisfied. Leaning back slightly and resting on her left hand, the seventeen year old spotted Lex and Dusty chuckling and smirking over in a corner. Well, that couldn't be good. Catching her little brother's eye, she smirked and shook her head at him slightly. They were definitely up to something.

Jae was sprawled out on the grass with his head in his cousin Vee's lap with her stroking her hair. What a life, huh? The little boy's eyes were closed and he was perfectly at ease. He was happy to be with his friends and family. What could be better anyway. Only opening his twilight blue eyes for a moment, the eight year old smiled mischievously at Dusty who seemed to be planning something with Alexis. He always knew when Dusty was plotting.

As the little pyro gazed into the flames of the bonfire, Dusty felt some sort of presence next to him. Looking over, it was Lex and she had a plan. His mouth instantly contorted into menacing/mischievous smile(Yes, he could do both at the same time! Crazy, right?). "Whatcha got in mind?" he asked, leaning in a bit closer.

Lainie then plopped onto his lap and he instantly wrapped his arms around the little girl and kissed her on the head. "How's it be Laih?" he chuckled, brushing a stray curl out of her face. Suddenly catching Valencia eye, Dustin merely smirk and waved flamboyantly back at her. She gave him her famous eye roll and continued to pet the almost sleeping Jae.

Turning back to Lex, the young boy's chocolate brown eyes were immediately open wide and he was ready. "Anyway, what are we thinkin' here? Pranks, naturally, right?" he asked, his voice full of excitement.

Sam sat next to Ari and some where near her brothers. She hadnt had a good talk with Ari in awhile, so she turned toward her older friend and smiled. "So how has life been treating you Ari?" she asked, her eyes reflecting the fire.

The night was perfect for a camp fire. The air was warm and the night was still lively. Sam loved the outdoors as much as anybody. She loved the idea of sleeping under the stars tonight. She and Benny had did that when they were kids once, in their backyard. Very fun.

Benny sat with his legs stretched out and his arms behind his back. He looked over at Lainie as she made her way into Dusty's lap. That little girl was too cute. Seeing that Dust was talking to Alexis about something, Benny turned to Valencia.

"So are you sad that its over?" he asked her. Meaning to her graduating from Hogwarts. He still couldn't believe he was going to be graduating in one year. The matter blew his mind. What was he going to do after Drumstrang? It was all a little overwhelming, but he was still anticipating the new step in his life.

Danny sat side by side with Benny staring at the fire. Jersey, Sam's cat, sat in his lap, purring softly. He scratched her behind the ears gently as the calico began to drift off to sleep. Danny has always had a way with animals. Jersey usually hated being held. But she seemed to like being held by him.

Jersey loved how this boy scratched her behind the ears. It made her want to lick him all over. She was just about to fall into slumber when she heard a cats worst night mare. Water!

Danny jumped as the cat ran from out of his lap to go hide. He had heard it too. Getting up from his spot on the grass he wandered over to the pool. Somebody was in the pool! Seeing Katie standing close by looking at the person in the pool, he walked over to her. "Is that Legend in the pool?! How did he get in there?" he asked bewildered.

“Talk?” Tyson muttered confused at Katie’s sentence. She was most definitely up to something. She didn’t seem to like his bother that much, by what he had seen. Brushing this off Tyson walked away from the others and went to check up on Reptar. It couldn’t hurt right?

Giggling a bit as the adorable two year old came over and sat in her uncle’s lap, Alexis shook her head. She couldn’t possibly tell Dustin what was on her mind with Laih here. That would ruin everything. The young girl might hear and tell someone. Putting the thing in her hand back in her pocket she picked up a marshmallow from the small table and handed it to Lainie.

“I’ll tell you later.” She said then as an after thought she added. “Or maybe not…just know that when I give you the cue…you distract Vannah.” She said getting quieter and quieter with ever word she spoke. “It has to do with Curt.” She finished so quietly she would be surprised if the 15 year old had heard her.

Not paying much attention to what was going with everyone, around him Lysander continued to kick up the water. He really didn’t like this idea. Maybe it would be better if he just went inside? Turn his head as her heard someone call his name he immediately felt a wave of cold water wash over him. Swimming back to the top Legend began spluttering in the water, and trying to rub the chlorine out of his eyes. What was Katie thinking!?! This was the deep end! He could have drowned!

Once he was over the shock of being pushed into the pool the eight year old turned to Danny. “How else do you think I got here?!? SHE pushed me in!” He yelled angrily. Of course Katie didn’t do it by accident! Pulling his goggles that were around his neck on his eyes he got an idea. Legend swam close to Katie and Danny and reached up like he was going to pull himself out of the pool. Instead he pulled on Katie’s foot so she came right in with him. “Oops sorry I slipped and pulled you in.” Legend said an evil grin appearing on his face.

Ari sat quietly, perfectly at ease with all in the world. Or at least she would be if it weren't for her cousin pulling the prank on her yesterday. She heard Sam speaking and tured to her, smiling, "Life? Besides being ignored half the time and pushed around like people own me?" She asked, quirking an eyebrow. "Life has been going good. I've been trying to keep myself busy you know." She added smirking alightly as she nodded towards her cousin who was sitting close to her.

"William is a handful, always up to something so he keeps me busy." She said, a slight hesitiation in her voice as she looked close at Sam. "What about you? It's been forever afterall." she asked grinning gently as she glanced around.

William sulked niosily in the corner. His best laid plans had been shot when Ari flung off her robes and went swinning, allowing the tink pellet to gently roll away. He vowed to pay her back, any way he could. Even if it meant tormenting her about her ordeal, thouh he knew she would hate him for it. "How long have you known my cousin?" He asked the girl named Sam, interupting their conversation.

A ginger colored cat came trotting out of the house, her grey eyes searching for her master. She had been sleeping all day and missed most of her bonding and missed her owner. She spotted the pink hat or what she thought was the hat and meowed loudly, getting the girls' attention.

Ari blinked, so lost in her conversation with Sam she hardly noticed anyone else around her. But she heard the meow. Smiling she shook her head, chuckling and picked Ginger up. "Silly girl." she cooed, petting her sofft fur as she looked up and sighed. The stars were beautiful she thought, wishing she could fly freely again, this time with a broom.
