...ugh. Where was the Hufflepuff? She should probably let her go first just in case there was danger ahead. Not because Sierra was a wimp, though, but because if something was going to jump out and attack, she sure didn't want to volunteer herself as the victim.

What could possibly attack here, though? ...a rainbow?

She paused when an unfamiliar scene folded out in front of here. It was...pretty, if she did say so herself. She took a few minutes to assess the place, and then her eyes finally fell on the Head Boy, whoever he was, and Iris, the Head Girl. "Oh, ...hey," she casually greeted.

"...have... have failed me!" Honestly, these human legs of hers were pathetic and she just wanted a bloody tail! MERLIN! As she noticed, her daughter was definitely not slowing down for her! Why?! Oh--she wanted to take up all the mermaid sparkly treasure for HERSELF DIDN'T SHE?! "Why I never..." Did she raise a selfish daughter?

Well that was certainly bad parenting. Discipline ought to teach her!

Lola quickly ditched Harper to get up there first, but the younger Slytherin girl managed to... and and... when they got there... what... what was this mermaid HAVEN?! It was so luscious and BEAUTIFUL. Amazing. A sight to see because she was completely mesmerized by the entire scene.

"MY SISTERS?!" Lola called out, hoping that her fellow mermaid brethren would answer back! The whole place seemed abandoned. OH RIGHT! They didn't speak English did they?! "GARGLEGARGLEGURGLEFISHYFISHY?!" There was no reply. There were no mermaids. This whole thing was a HOAX. Lola's feet were still... feet.

The whole thing was still indeed beautiful and she eyed the Prefects, waving a hello at them, but was then distracted by a trident laying out on the shore. "FATHERRRRRR!"

She walked up to stand next to Sierra, but her eyes were on the water, the sun glinting off of it, and the whole lagoon in general. She couldn't get enough. Her eyes were the size of conch shells (how appropriate) as she gazed at the beautiful scenery. She had to remember to breathe when she saw the Head Boy and Girl standing there.

She gave them a small smile and let out a sigh. Noooo sacrifice for her, noo way. At least...she couldn't see a fire pit anywhere. "This is beautiful," it was directed to the Head Boy and Girl, but also to Sierra and Lola (who didn't seem to be paying any attention to the English language).

Harper turned her eyes on Lola and just...watched. For that was all she could do.


Why did she have to sit here alone with Finn?! Out of everyone, it had to be him. The Head Girl had sat herself away from him while she was waiting for the students to get here. Iris stood up as she saw a group of three students make their way in. It was Snakes! ... and a Badger. Brilliant!

She smiled at the three, amused by their awed expressions. Lola really was insane. Her exploration of the lagoon should be amusing. Iris waved at them. "Hello!"

SPOILER!!: Salander and his partner

... it was a lagoon. Beautiful. Colorful. Warm. And reminded him so much of a once happy memory....

Struggling at the last thought he tried to push it aside, instead focusing on trying to take in the different stuff on the ground and the layout of the land. He doubted he would even remember them all. One of the few times he wished that muggle technology would work at Hogwarts...

... come to think of it, is he still at Hogwarts?

He finally spotted Finn and Iris, waving at them "Nice spot you found here!...." then he looked around "Are.... are we still in Hogwarts?"

She walked slowly and caught up with Salander finally. Wow. She caught her breath as she looked at the surroundings. It was a lagoon and it was simply breathtaking. She'd never seen anything more beautiful.

Her eyes shifted towards the Head Boy and Head Girl standing nearby. She gave them a smile before turned towards the shore, noticing the shells and a fishing net lying among the rocks. Hm. Interesting.

Now, what!?



Not soon after, Salander and a Hufflepuff came through the clearing. Who were the best? The Slytherpuffs. She grinned at the boys question. "Yeah... Still in Hogwarts! It's a bit hard to believe, though..." Yup. Even Iris didn't believe it at first.

SPOILER!!: Orlando and Ryden

He had no problem, still guiding around - now that they were on solid ground and not floating lily pads but still she should see. YES. Noticing, other Prefects moving - he moved too, tightening his grip on her hand. You know, he could let her hand go now ... but he was pretending, he didn't have to.

The forest and then the smell of the vegetation, he was getting excited again - hoping to see his next task and all the while as the scent grew stronger of the begetation around them, Orlando's stomach grumbled. FOOD. He would be needing foood soon.

All thoughts of food disappeared though when the next sight came. It was beautiful. WOW. "Ryden ... can you see what I see?" the boy asked dumbfounded, looking around. Were they still in Hogwarts?

If they were on the shore, then her blindness should be gone by now, shouldn't it? Yes, it really really should. Blinking furiously, the brunette found the the black was slowly turning to grey and then to a lighter grey and then...

KOALA BOY. Cue HUUUUUGEEE GRIIIIIIINNN. "WE DID IT!" she exclaimed, in response to his quesion, queezing his hand a little as bounced a little. SUCCESS. Turning around to take in the sights of the world - for she had MISSED them, honestly - Ryden's jaw dropped.

...

WOW. Just, WOW. How did a place like this exist up here? "I..." was all she could say as she lightly pulled his hand - see? CONVENIENCE, no need to let go - and they walked into the lagoon. The brunette's eyes quickly picked up the tridents and things lying around, and then the head boy and girl standing around too. But the LAGOON...

"It's beautiful." YUP. And she would definitely be coming back here.


Oooh! And here comes some of the Badgers and Lions! Straight off the Lilypads. Iris grinned and waved at them both as they looked around in complete awe. The Head Girl made a mental note of the first groups into the Lagoon, and then wandered over to the edge of the lagoon water. How long would she have to wait before Aaron and Treyen... but mostly Aaron, got here, too?



Iris already had her swimwear on under her shorts and tank top, but none of these students here were dressed accordingly for the occasion... As none of them knew this was where they were going to end up. Looking back to the students that were there, Iris grinned again. Then she glanced at Finn, in a way that asked if they should tell them about the need to transfigure their clothes into swimsuits.

Now, time to address the students! "It's amazing, isn't it?" She said, walking to stand next to Finn. "Obviously none of you have your swimming costumes with you right now -" unless you're a weirdo named Lola. Then I wouldn't be surprised if you carried it around with you all the time. " - so you're gonna need to get some from somewhere. Over here is two trunks. One's got loads of swimwear for guys in, the other for girls. Have a root through those and find something that you'd wear." Iris paused, checking to see if there were any unimpressed faces. "Don't worry. I've made sure that there's something in there to cover every taste and style, and they're charmed to shrink or stretch to fit you perfectly."

"There's a changing tent over there - hidden by all the trees - where you can go and quickly change. Your clothes will be safe in there until you choose to change back." The Head Girl nodded. "Alternatively, if you're comfortable with your transfiguration skills, you can simply transfigure what you're wearing now into a swimsuit."

Giving Finn a glance, Iris frowned in concentration. "I've not missed anything, have I? Oh! Yeah. Have fun! Explore! Try not to drown, because I'm not jumping in after you!" Yup... That was just about it. Finn would probably still be able to think of something that Iris missed, though.



OOC:
  • There's no incantation for the transfiguration mentioned. If you choose to do that, just RP your character "doing" it without saying the incantation.
  • Make sure that your swimwear is SS appropriate AND age appropriate (e.g, no First Years in very skimpy bikinis!).
  • Also, if you're going to link, make sure it's to Polyvore or Photobucket or something similar!
  • We're going to wait for a few more groups of students to get here before opening the other threads.
  • Most importantly, HAVE FUN WITH THIS!
