Kace finally made it to the prefects event.

He was so out of the loop with what was going on with Hogwarts. He heard about the spiders that were roaming the castle but he would never miss out on a party. He was in his best swimsuit. He wore swim trunks with pineapples on them of course. The trunks were also light blue to bring out his eyes. Once conidfent in his swimsuit, he made his way down to the water. He saw beach volleyballs, snorkeling equipment and sand toys.

As he saw what was there, he waited on the sand for his friends. He wanted to know what they were going to do first. He was leaning more towards snorkeling but let's see what they think.

It had been a long year. Puck grinned over to Kace when she spotted him, sure it was going to be so much less fun without Kace next term, but she’d make it through. Still, today was about celebration. Celebrating making it through the year alive, celebrating people not dying, and celebrating Kace freaking Lecium graduating – seriously, he was graduating.

“Hey spaceKace,” Puck grinned as she plopped down next to him. The Caribbean breeze felt nice, needed really. “we need to spend time together this summer – and you know if anything weird happens term I am definitely going to write you about it.” She laughed as she simply dropped herself into the sand next to him.

Her own simple pink bathing suit was still as comfortable as it ever had been. “So? Are ya going to do the slide?” She asked grinning and asked him. Because talking about him not being there next term wasn’t fun.

Henric was so thrilled! He just had to do this! SNORKELING in the black lake?! Like what! He was already in the water with his yellow swimming trunks and a snorkeling mask rest on top of his head. He gestured his friends to hurry up behind him,"Come on Adi,llia!! If you're not in this water in five seconds, I'm diving in without you guys!" Henric chuckled and lean back so he could float in the water. He waved to Kace and his friends not far from where they were.

"No, you're not because I'm diving in before you, Henny!''

Hehe. The childish side of Adi was even more present today. He waved to Kace, and Puck as he raced past Henric and did this dive once he was far out enough. He went under and then surfaced again, bobbing in the water. He grinned over at Henric and Ilia. "Looks like I beat you guys.''

Well, maybe he had beat them in distance since Henric was floating around. "Come on, guys! Let's go see the mermaid and Grindylows.'' Yeeeeah, right. Adi doubted they would be going that far in case they were attacked by the creatures. Didn't want to spoil the fun with those attacks, yeah? But they were going snorkeling... the three of them.

"Whenever you guys are ready!'' he called to his friends.

Noel was not letting Kace leave without meeting him. For a while that had been the case - with him getting kidnapped and all but not anymore. Seeing Puck had already made her way to him, Noel followed suit and joined the two on the sand.

"Hey guys," he greeted the two as his eyes traveled on the huge slide. Oh. This was going to be fun.

"Should we do this together?" Sad goodbyes can happen when they have had some fun.

Ilia took her time getting in, despite the boys rushing and antics. She left her sheer light green wrap skirt up on shore, but left her wand holster attached to her arm. There was no way that it was leaving her. The water was pleasant enough as she waded in , gradually swimming over to the boys. The sun was so bright , she could see her white swim suit and silver bangles shining even under the water.

The boys were waving to other people and Ilia just swam along between the two. "Yup, you beat me." She laughed to Adi. She really didn't care if she swam farther or faster than either of them, it was more fun to watch them compete.

See the mermaids and grindylows? "You know for once Adi.....I think I'll pass on that. I'm a little dangerous adventured out this term." She laughed. She didn't think she would ever say no to adventure, even though she knew that he was joking.

They had muggle contraptions for their heads? She laughed a little as she watched them. Casting a bubble head charm upon herself she nodded to them. "Ready when you are."

Who had time to be sad when there was A FREAKING POOL PARTY GOING ON?

That's what Grayson was seeing this as: a giant pool party that had to be suitable for firsties. Shame, really, but after the stress of the year, he wasn't gonna miss out on THIS. In fact, he DESERVED this. Do you know how many hours he'd spent poring over textbooks and notes and the like?

TOO FREAKING MANY.

So, with the thought of trying to enjoy this event as much as possible, Grayson ran out towards the lake in nothing but his swimming trunks, a look of pure glee on his face. Look at his fantastic body glistening in the sun. He could get a tan from all this but that would have to wait. First, he had to dive into the FUN.

And yes, literally.

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"

SPLASH!

Chris looked around and grinned. A beach party?!!! Now he was really glad that Timila had made him come down here. Maybe this place wouldn't be so bad after all. Though...he was still worried about Rusty he hadn't seen her in a little while. But surely she was okay...Yup that was what he was going to assume. She was okay and he just needed to look harder. No more thought of spiders.

Opting to keep his shirt on because no one wanted to see his pale self without a shirt, he started to run toward the lake and stopped short when an older boy jumped right into where he was going to jump!!! POUTS!!! And then he got soaked. Not at all how he wanted to get wet at first. HMPH!

He stare at the spot waiting impatiently for the older boy to surface so he knew he wouldn't get hurt or anything. Assuming he had moved he moved back and took another run toward the lake and this time jumped in grabbing his legs to his chest.

"CANNONBALL!!!!!" he yelled with a grin as he fell into the water.

As Kace was sitting near the water, he felt someone behind him. He turned around and saw Puck was sitting there. "Hey there. Interesting nickname choice." he tilted his head and laughed. Space Kace he kind of liked it. "Psh of course we need to spend some time together..." he said not really liking the topic of leaving Hogwarts. He began to draw lines in the sand. He was dreading the idea of leaving his friends here and the good memories. He didn't wanna show his weakness so he kept his feelings in. "Thanks I mean you know no one can beat the Puffanova rumor this year though." he snickered and nudged her shoulder. "You know I keep forgetting you are a sixth year. I mean I think you are in our year." She did seem older than him. Is he gonna go on the slide? He looked at it and nodded. "Psh bloody merlin yeah. It looks like fun." He was always into rides and such.

Then he heard someone yell at Adi and his friends to hurry up. He turned his head and saw Henric in the water. He grinned and waved to him. "Hey dude! You going on the slide!?" he called after him. Soon enough he saw Adi dive into the water besides Henric and now he was gonna join them. He nodded at Puck and ran into the water and dived in.

Aaaahhhhhaaahhhhh.........


It felt SO refreshing. This felt like paradise. He felt like he was back on his family vacation. He began to swim in the pool and float. After that he swam back and rejoined his lion friend Puck. He shook his hair like a dog would and snickered when he saw Puck get all wet. Then he noticed Noel coming down. He greeted his fellow puff with a sup nod. "Hey Noel. Should we do what together? Go on the slide together?" he pointed towards it.

Kyroh was, for lack of better words, SO VERY EXCITED!!!!!!! He even had a list of reasons. A WHOLE LIST!!!

Reason 1: His swim trunks were the coolest thing since Merlin's beard. Black with little dragons of all kinds and colours all around them. That's right. There was the Horntail, The Shortsnout, the Ridgeback- THEY WERE ALL THERE!!!!

Reason 2: SEE REASON ONE, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH!?!?!?!

Laughter bubbled out of his mouth as he ran toward the lake. There was so many things too do! SO MANY! Maybe he should have tried to seek out his friends first but- he could ALREADY spot Grayson and Noel, and they were friends right? Right? Yeah??? His eyes darted to a first year who jumped into the water anddd without another thought he jumped right in after him. CANNONBALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The sixth year was currently looking for her boyfriend. She forgot where she was supposed to meet him. She had a lot of her mind and finally Cinna was back and that was amazing. There was a weight that lifted from her shoulders. She was an emotional wreck while her best friend/sister/cousin was missing.

As the blonde haired Gryffindor walked around looking for her boyfriend she finally posted him with Puck. -_- She shrugged and walked over to the two of him. She smiled at Kace and gave him a hug. "Hey Kace." She said looking up at him. Her dark blue eyes looked over at Puck. "Hi Puck." She smiled. Would this be a good time to tell the both of them that she was thinking about not going to Hogwarts next term because of how dangerous it is? And the fact that Cinna got kid knapped and the school was infested with evil spiders.

Had Grayson noticed anyone else wanting to jump into the lake when he was running up to it? Nope! Would he have cared even if he had? Again, nope! It took a few seconds but the boy swam up towards the top, his head breaking the surface of the water. MAN, that felt so good. The cool water, the swimming, the FREE--

..................... WHAT IN THE FREAKING NAME OF MERLIN?!

Grayson let out a yelp and tried to swim away as quickly as he could from the oncoming terror that was some freaking twelve year old or whoever. Some warning would have been nice, jeez. Warning that was MORE than simply a yell too late. He swam over towards the spot where he'd seen the kid disappear into the water, ready to give him a piece of his mind when.......

.......... LOL. Was the kid really wearing a SHIRT?! "You realise that it's hot enough to not have to wear a shirt, right?" Weird kid.

Chris came up to find rude boy looking at him. What did he do now? Hearing his question though he looked down at his shirt. "I burn easily?" Not really but it sounded like a good excuse. Not like everyone was as built as rude boy was. Hmph. Besides he was too skinny and gangling to look good without a shirt right now.

He looked at rude boy and shrugged. "Besides what does me wearing a shirt have to do with you?" Nothing! Right? Right. Take that rude boy. He grinned and splashed water at him as if that would make his point for him.

What a wonderful way to end such an eventful term! Nessa highly approved and wandered out towards the lake in her one-piece swimsuit with her colorful sarong tied stylishly around her waist. Of course she did own several two piece swimsuits as well but she thought this would be much more appropriate to wear today.

She walked along the shoreline of the beach, smiling at the children already having a good time, and her eyes looked around the immediate area as she thought about what she might do first. Wouldn't it be fun to get the whole staff together for a game of volleyball? She didn't see any other adults around just then, though she certainly wouldn't be opposed to joining in on a student game as long as they didn't mind..

Nessa started towards the beachy area in search of a volleyball when someone's cannonball dive splashed water all over her. "Oh goodness!" she cried out in surprise of the sudden water before laughing. That was one way to get cooled off.

"Hi Kace! Yeah,we're going there again!"Henric replied to Kace."Why don't you joi-WHAA!"he covered his face when Adi suddenly dove in from behind him."Hey Adi!Watch it!"he laughed and started splashing water at Adi. "Yeah! You go on ahead and shake hands with the mermaids, Adi! We 're just going to watch you waaaaay back here and check out the fishes,"he chuckled as he swam towards llia.When he came out for air, he 'accidentally' splashed llia in the process. He coughed up water,"Oh oopss!" He grinned innocently. "Come on lets go find some fishes!"

Puck sent Noel a big old goofy smile as he joined their group. “just hey guys? No sup Duck?” She wiggled her eyebrows at him and grinned. Of course, Kace was commenting on her nickname for him and that just made her laugh.

“I called him spaceKace,” she loudly whispered over to Noel and grinned. “Dude, c’mon best rumor had to be that Cutty was stealing people’s hair to make a wig for Caleb,” Puck laughed loudly and smiled over to Kace when he said that he kept forgetting she wasn’t in his year. “One more year of this without you guys is going to be dreadful” she laughed, “but I’ve got Noel eh?” She wiggled her brow again, “hey – lets pretend I am in your year and see what they do if I crash graduation like dude – where is my diploma?” She laughed as she leaned back into the sand she didn’t even hear when Kace got up to run to the water because well, she was listening to the sound of the sand below her head.

And then the water, “Kace – c’mon I’m –“ and then she heard Emmy’s voice and smiled over to her. “Hey Emmy – you look awesome chica,” Puck grinned and gave her a friendly wink. Emmy knew that she was just friends with Kace right? That he was like…extended brotherly family to her?

Still, she hoped those rumors didn’t hurt the friendship she was trying to build with her because well…Kace was like her best friend? Still she was going to have to get ice cream with her or well…anything and just talk?

“You guys are the cutest really, sometimes its like looking into the sun full on blindingly cute,” she grinned. Really, she meant it. They were the sweetest. “Seriously, if anyone ever tries to mess with you two let me know who it is and they’ll get a cauldron full of de-hairing potion poured over them like that –“ she emphasized by snapping her fingers. Yes. She was a guard dog. Deal with it.

As Kace was joined by Emmy and Puck, he noticed the glare Emmy was giving Puck. He wondered why and then he knew but Emmy seemed to forget about the rumors that went on and he felt her hug. "Hey babe.." he greeted his girlfriend and kissed her cheek. He smiled at her and hugged her tight. "You gonna go on the slide or snorkel?" he asked pointing to the slide across from them.

Then he heard Henric mention his name and he raised his eyebrows and was impressed he already went on the slide already. "Woah how was the slide!?" he called out before Adi tackled him. Then he faced Puck and remembered that rumor and snorted with laughter. "Oh yeah I remember that!" He chuckled still at that. Then he heard Puck mention him leaving, "Nah it won't be so bad. You still got Noel and Emmy and Cinna. I mean you won't be so lonely." I mean sure it won't be the same without him but still gotta think of the positives. He snorted and could totally see Puck stealing her diploma and crashing the graduation. "I can see you doing that.." he nudged her shoulder and then ran into the water to swim.

It was PERFECT!

AMAZING!

FANTABULOUS!!!!

WHICH WASN"T A REAL WORD SO IT WORKED!

It was the BEST canon ball EVER!. Floating to the top, Kyroh quickly whipped the water away from his eyes. A small burst of laughter erupted from his lips, for a few moments.

That is, until he spotted the History of Magic Professor close by. And soaked. From his canonball??? And was she laughing or crying? Or was that just wanted disgusted as tears??????

Merlin. "Professor Glendower! I'm sorry! I am!!"

Adi made a mental note as he splashed into the water, sending it everywhere. HE NEEDED TO HANG WITH KACE! “You bet,’’ he yelled back to the soon to be graduate. “I’ll see you over there!’’ There was no more room for chatting, unfortunately because the sixth year was having the time of his life in the water.
……………………………..

He snorted playfully at Ilia. “I think you’re just afraid of them, Ilia,’’ was his ribbing reply. “The same goes for Henric.” Riiiiiight. As if those two would be afraid. “I’d love to shake hands with them, actually. Maybe they could teach me Mermish.’’ Ooooh, Henric was splashing him! REVENGEEEEEEE time! Adi went under again, this time swimming towards Henric where he grabbed the boy’s feet to startle him. The Lochness Monster had you, Henny! Mwahahaha!

He sputtered up again and laughed. Sacred Henric? But then Ilia was casting the Bubble Head Charm. Adi grabbed his own wand to do the same, not wanting to miss a second. “Let’s go, guys!’’

Nessa briefly thought about a drying charm but immediately decided against it. Maybe she'd even take a dip in the lake herself now that she had been pre-soaked. Brushing a wet lock of hair out of her face and tucking it behind her ear, she turned more fully towards the swimming area just in time to see Kyroh poking up from the water. And apologizing.

"Oh, no, no need for apologies, dear!" she called over with a bright smile and a wave. "That was quite the splash though," she added with a laugh. "I was thinking of coming in for a swim myself.. How's the water?"

'I burn easily'

Lulz. He shouldn't find that so funny but luuuuuulz. "Haven't you heard of extra factor sunscreen? Dead useful, let me tell you." Because he wouldn't need to wear a shirt and he'd be able to protect his skin and whatnot.

But whatever. If the kid wanted to overheat or burn, he can do so. Just don't do it anywhere near him, mkay?

Wait. Wait. Just HOLD THE FREAKING PHONE.

Had he just bumped into a sassy kid? Frankly, Grayson didn't know whether to be offended or impressed. All he managed to do was raise his eyebrows and open his mouth before........

....... SPLASH!

Gasping, the Slytherin tried to shake away any excess water before turning back to the boy. "Dang, you're one sassy fella aren't you?" he said, splashing the kid with water in return.

And the shirt debate had nothing to do with him but he wasn't about to mention that.

Chris was going to ignore that. Yup because..well he hadn't heard of that and didn't want to admit it to this rude boy. Maybe he just liked wearing the shirt! Hmph. He simply stared at Judgy McJudgerson there looking all smug and stuff.

Wasn't the first time he wore a shirt in a lake and wouldn't be the last he was sure until he could get some muscles on his scrawny frame which he was trying to work on. Sigh. Life was hard.

He couldn't help but laugh though as he caught the older boy off guard and made him gasp. One for Chris. MUAHAHAHA. Wait...sassy? He'd never been called sassy before. "No, I just don't like people who judge what others do. It's a free country I can do as I please." Yup. HA take that Judgy McJudgerson.

He splashed the boy back and swam back a bit in a vain attempt to avoid any retribution. The boy was noticeably bigger and stronger than him he wouldn't stand a chance.

Emmylou hugged Kace back. "Hi guys." Referring to Kace and Puck obviously. Saying it twice already was just awkward? Maybe awkward. She was still worried about Cinna being kidknapped again or even herself. The thought of never seeing her family, Kace and her friends again just scared her half to death. The blonde looked over at Puck. "Thank you." She said with a small smile. Then she turned back to Kace when he asked her about snorkeling. She beamed a little. "I'd love to."

Kace grinned and stood up and brushed off all the sand that was on his bathing suit, not that it mattered because he was gonna go in the water but he wanted to be clean. He held Emmy's hand and lead her towards the snorkel station. "Have you ever snorkeled before Emms?" he asked just to be sure. "Just asking to be sure. I have before when I went on vacation with my family so I know what to do." It is not hard but it is so rewarding with what you see down below.
