Ceorlic had walked the Perimeter of the lake for a while picking up a stick and tossing them into the lake sighing with each toss. None of these would do. None were THE STICK. He moved past a tree that sat directly beside the lake....stopped and back tracked.

THIS! This tree would provide him the ultimate stick he was sure of it. he walked around the tree about 3 times taking inventory of each fallen branch and of some still attached to the tree, within arms length that he could snap right off. One more pace around the tree and he selected an already fallen branch. One long enough to be considered for a fishing rod. Which was EXACTLY what he was going for. Producing a long string from his pocket Ceorlic tied it around the tip of the branch. Then reached back into his pocket and pulled out a Pumpkin Pasty. he broke off a small piece from it's corner and tied that bit at the end of the string.

Settling down just at the edge of the lake and under some shade of the tree Ceorlic flicked his make-shift fishing rode, and sat their waiting....waiting waiting.
This was no different from Loch Ness.
Gabriel (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=134225746) was about done with the castle. There wasn't anywhere to hide...with light. Everyone was everywhere and his nerves couldn't take how many GIRLS were littering the corridors. There was no place to turn were there wasn't a GIRL.

This found him stress eating pumpkin tarts on his way to the lake; face obscured by a hood...HE WASN'T IN THE MOOD, OKAY?! Why were girls so...SO........

He viciously took a bit of his pumpkin treat. Gabriel did NOT understand, okay?!?!

Luckily, as he neared the lake he seen a familiar face and gravitated towards him. CEORLIC! Pumpkin brothers. HE UNDERSTOOD the girl troubles. Or.....the, uh, bonnies? Ceo was painfully Irish...but Gabe had gotten used to the accent and not understanding a lot of the words.

"Are you hiding, too?"

"Are you hiding, too?"You see the thing about fishing for Ceorlic was like taking a nap. Naps were a brilliant way to shut out the world around you. Nothing would enter his head and make him think too hard, or think at all for the matter. His mind was focused on the water, and the bit of bait he had floating on it's surface. He did not care if he ever caught anything. His catch-rate was terribly low in fact.

So here he sat, his thoughts not on anything like The Head-Bonny's mangled ideals of courage and bravery, or on...ummm Isla. Yeah nope None of that thought...That one was too painful. Ugh Girls.

Oh! Was someone beside him? Ceo looked up and saw Glasses Gabe. What great timing! "Jimmy Gabe!" Ceo said in a bit of excitement, his SCOTTISH poking free. "Na, ah'ament hiding. Though if we climbed th' tree a'm sure that'd be even better. Wouldn't it?"

Unlike with the female population...Gabriel could relax around Ceo...and he was so very thankful for it. There were enough people around to make him an anxious mess. One less was appreciated.

Flopping down, he continued to aggressively eat his pumpkin tart...if anything Gabriel did could really be called aggressive. When he felt the cold sweats and chills, pumpkin treats seemed to relax his mind....along with a book.

Yes, he'd brought one along...on the off chance he found some peace and quiet.

"I'm not much good at climbing...but okay. Did you want to?" Up in trees....they'd be hard to find, right? "....Can you....uh, fix a broken bone?"....just in case. Gabriel didn't know about the school's Healer yet. Did they have one, even?

Gabriel didn't know about the school's Healer yet. Did they have one, even?Ceorlic jabbed his fishing rod into the ground so that would stick out, and stay upright. He'd keep an eye on it while showing Gabe the a Ropes to climbing trees. "Tis simple . Ye'v juist git tae determine oan th' plook whilk branch ye kin pull yersel' up wi' " Ceo pointed to each branch that looked sturdy enough to him. On that note Ceo responded to Gabe's question on fixing broken bones. "A'm na healer, bit. Ah kin a braw splint . A've an' a' seen 'n' heard mah brother dae some fixing spell. A've goosed baith mah arms plenty times crashing fae mah bike..." He wasn't making any sense was he? "Sorry, yeah I can try if Ye dae break a bone. I think we can avoid it though if we direct our falls towards the water. " He pointed from the tree to the lake making a whistling noise, then a splashing noise.

The best thing he could do now was climb the tree. Glasses could follow his path up. "Ye ready tae give it a gang!?" he yelled in excitement as he hopped, not to far a distance from the ground to the closest sturdy branch he could reach for. He pulled himself up and wrapped his arms around it entirely giving his whole upper body strength then put himself up into a sitting position on that branch over hanging the lake. Just a bit. His feet now kicking the air in joy.

Angel was still worried about what had happened to Adi and so she had seen the tree by the lake and decided that she would sit down there and figure out what to do next, she sat down under the tree and close her eye she was still a bit annoyed about what had happened to Adi at the start of term feast and she hadn't seen him since was he mad with her or something.

It was an awesome day! It was sunny. Adi wasn't much a fan of the sun but after last term, he was very grateful to bask in the sunshine at each opportunity he got. And he was not going to waste such a perfectly good day by being inside.

He decided on visiting the Tree. It was always less crowded and more peaceful. He spotted figures in the form of students milling around but one little form stood out. Adi squinted. Angel. No mistaking the lip gloss and other make up.

"What's up, Angel?'' the Hufflepuffer greeted. "You okay?'' Why was she here all by herself.

Angel looked up and smiled when she saw it was her friend Adi, the new Hufflepuff Prefect, had she congratulated him? "Hey Adi." Angel beamed. "Congratulation on becoming a Hufflepuff Prefect." Angel thought it was so cool that he was a prefect in his fourth year.

"I'm good." Angel said truthfully. "I was just thinking about the Start of Term feast and what happened to you." Angel looked at him and sighed. "I'm sorry if I caused you any trouble that meant you had to leave the Gryffindor Table" Angel hadn't enjoyed much of the feast after that because AJ had left to go after Adi and then her other sister had decided to slap her for no reason... so yeah not a great start to the year but she wouldn't dwell on it. "How are you?"

"How are you?"

Oh yeah. Angel had not congratulated him as yet. Too many distractions recently anyway so he didn't hold it against her. "Thanks a ton,'' he replied, now leaning his head against the tree.

Ah yes. Angel, like him, still thought of all that chaos on their first day back. He didn't blame her. It was pretty darn hard to get certain stuff out of his head. Like how he had felt when Ian had kissed AJ. Adi tilted his head toward Angel. "What do you mean? You didn't do anything except trying to avoid us. All those problems were caused by someone who I though of as a friend.'' The Puffer wasn't very forgiving towards the other Hufflepuff right now mainly because he had tried to Hex AJ when she had her back turned.

"I'm better. AJ helped cheer me up in no time.'' Of course he still felt he could have done more to prevent her getting into a tackle but he had to keep reminding himself he was not responsible for anyone's actions. "Are you going to tell me now why you wanted to be by yourself during the carriage ride and at the Feast?''Adi was rather curious about that.

Angel looked at Adi and sighed, she was sure he would hate her after she told him what she thought but alas she could think of no way around avoiding telling him. "I am sure if I had been there Ian wouldn't have tried it on because I would have stopped him from even attempting to." Angel sighed. "And he wouldn't have jinxed her because well she wouldn't have had to come and drag me towards the carriage, though obviously I didn't force her too."

Angel had been avoiding them from before that she sat on her own on the train as well, now what to say. "I just wanted time alone because I'm feeling confused about different things." Angel sighed. "Ben is totally confusing me with his actions." Angel looked at Adi and said truthfully. "See I can tell you love AJ because of the way you act around her, your friendly and nice and very supportive of her." Angel then thought of Ben. "Were as Ben your lucky if you get two words out of him. He kissed me on the cheeks in DA but I'm assuming that is a brotherly kiss and so instead of causing an awkward ride for everyone I thought it would be best to just stay on my own and let you lot have all the fun." Angel then added. "And I had a feeling you wouldn't want me there anyway."

Adi shook his head vigorously. He needed to tell Angel what he had to be reminding himself all along. "It didn't matter who was there, Angel. Ian was apparently jealous and annoyed at AJ and I because we were joking around in the carriage. If a prefect was there and he tried that, nobody would have been able to stop him. It was a good thing Benny was with us though.'' Adi had barely had time to register what was going on but his best friend had already been saving the day. Or AJ rather.

The Puffer listened to Angel explain in silent. He smirked a bit at the kissing. Bold moves were definitely coming from Benny now. But he was panicky on the inside too. What if Benny and Angel started going out? What would happen to him? He'd be ditched in a corner with no bestie. :x3: "Calm down,'' he warned himself. "It's not like Benny is going away forever or something.''

Still a bit panicky, Adi looked at Angel. "That's true that Benny hardly speaks. But did you notice the change in him at the Feast? He spoke a lot more. Plus I think the plant thing was not something he would usually do.'' Yep, Benny was definitely a dude that was changing. "Give him some time, Angel,'' Adi said. "I know for sure he likes you back in a way that isn't brotherly but he's just taking it at his own pace and one that he's comfortable with.''

O_O Wouldn't want her there? "Are you kidding? We missed you. Why do you think AJ tried to get you to come with us?'' Why wouldn't he want her to hang with him?

Angel looked at Adi as she hung her head and listened to what he had to say. "I know in the feast he was actually more talkative then I have ever known him." Angel sighed, seriously though it was good that he was talkative. "I hope your right Adi." Angel sighed, she wasn't sure what to think anymore about anything at all.

Angel looked at him. "No of course I'm not joking, I don't see why you would want a crazy person there, someone who's so bad that her own sister hates her enough to slap her for apparently no reason" Angel looked straight at Adi, okay so she didn't know that at the time but wasn't that proof that everyone hated her. "I don't know why AJ wanted me around, maybe she was just pitying me." Angel really had no idea but she knew what she said wasn't true but she was going through a lot of different emotions at the minute.

He had to let her know because he knew she was very sensitive. "We love to hear you chatter. And of course I'm right. When was I ever wrong?'' Meh. Another lame joke.

"Do I need to punch you?'' Adi asked half jokingly but half half serious at the same time. "You are crazy but in a good way. Don't let your negative thoughts bother you.'' Heh. Adi should take his own advice. Anyway... "I'm sure Abby doesn't hate you. She probably lost control of her temper.'' Poor Angel. She looked so sad. Adi moved over and put one arm around her. "Listen, Angel. You're like that awesome, crazy, fun little sister I never had. One person you don't have to think that way with is me. I like when you're hanging with me.'' Also was also sure AJ was not pitying her.

The lake, he'd said. Meet me by the lake after school.

Hopefully she'd know he meant here by this tree, or would at least spot him chilling out under his tree forcing himself to understand the contents of his History of Magic textbook. His concentration and ability to sit still long enough to read it was TONS better these days, but now he had the problem of trying to absorb the information, which was about ten times harder than it was before.

But Toby (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=134407066) kept through it, idly fiddling with the end of his school tie as he read. When Soph got here, he'd take a well deserved break.
Now that they were sort of back in the swing of things, Sophie had been especially clingy to her remaining people at Hogwarts - namely CB and Toby - in the absence of Cat and Mo. Of her four best friends, now there were only TWO around. She was pretty good at battling away any sort of sadness over this, though, because any time it threatened to creep in, she retreated to her dormmate or her boyfriend. And, thus far, neither of them seemed put off by her, so...

There was no stopping her.

Far too excited to see Tobes, especially since he had initiated their meet-up this afternoon, Sophie was actually jogging down to the lake. Still in uniform. Super shamelessly. At the sight of the Hufflepuff by the tree - was he reading...? - Soph veered her course toward him and gained speed until she reached him and intentionally let herself fall to the ground, rolling into him with the biggest of smiles on her face, only the tiniest bit out of breath.

"Hi." Griiiin.

KYROH WAS DETERMINED TO CLIMB THIS TREE!

Or.....learn how to climb it. Yes. And no one was going to stop him. Spotting Toby and his Sophie, he shook his head. He needed FOCUS to climb!! The second year stood arms straight up above his head as he glanced up. Was his hands touching the branches yet?

No?

Hm.

This would be harder than he thought.

There was a Kyroh standing by the lake, doing this thing under a tree that made him look Dot's mum had looked during the very brief time when yoga had been a thing in their house. It hadn't lasted, 'cause Stella hated looking stupid. And hated how her bum looked in yoga pants.

But the point... what the heck was Kyroh doing?

"Are you waving at a bird?" That seemed likely. Hullo, birds. Dot waved too.

"Hi." Griiiin.

What... what had he actually managed to understand from this page so far. Something about... uhh... goblins? No, warlocks. Uhh. Some sort of gathering with lots of talking and stuff. Man. History. Maybe Soph would let him look at her notes or someth-

At that moment there was a flump beside him and Toby tore his attention away from the book in time to see his favourite nerd rolling right into him.

"Hi," he said right back, amused as anything as he placed his open book face down on Soph's face. Eheheh.

Movement out of the corner of his eye alerted Toby to Kyroh over there doing........ something. Some kind of tree salute? He seemed pretty busy, and had one of his friends with him now too, so Toby just let him get on with it and looked back at the Ravenclaw closer to home.

Grinning the cheesiest of grins up at Tobes, Soph stayed laying on her back, lightly clasping her fingers behind her head to act as a pillow. "Fancy meeting you here," the Ravenclaw quipped.

Aaaaaand darkness.

Soph huffed into the book on her face, feigning distress, then she flung her head to the side to make the book fall off her face and close next to her, but she got a faceful of hair in the process. "Thanks for that. You're such a nerd," she remarked with exactly no malice in her voice, the corners of her lips turning upward in a smile as she brushed her hair away from her mouth. Then she promptly head-butted his side before twisting around so she could use his leg as a pillow instead of her hands and made herself quite comfortable against him. "To what do I owe today's meeting, hm? Can't imagine you just wanted to see me today, Merlin forbid. Dunno why you'd ever wanna do that." Hehehehe. "I'm dreadful company." Cue the unnecessary pathetic, pouty faces.

Also was also sure AJ was not pitying her.

Angel looked at Adi. "Well I hope that I can get him talking more in the end." Angel stuck her tongue out at her friend. "Oh I love to talk, you got given a mouth you might as well use it." Angel nudged Adi. "I know you were joking silly." Angel then decided to joke back. "Oh I don't know, how about the feast, the Whomping Willow last term." Angel stuck her tongue out at him.

"No I don't think you do." Angel said half-heartedly, she still didn't know if Abby hated her but she looked at Adi and gave a smile smile before.

O_______o

Why was Adi touching her? She was confused and scared AJ would get Jealous even though she didn't like Adi, she liked Benny, so she shuffled away from him. "I am?" Angel was confused, he saw her as a little sister, that was awesome. "I'll remember that." Angel said truthfully.

"You're making progress,'' Adi acknowledged. More than he could have said for himself. Ah well. Maybe an Angel is just what the Dragon needed. He laughed now. "We can use it for better things though. Like eating.'' Adi stuck his tongue out right back. That was his habit too, Angel. "Okay, fine. I admit defeat. I've been wrong a couple of times but I'm not much.''

Okay, so maybe Angel didn't like his hug. "I think I give great hugs,'' Adi said jokingly, not for once guessing that Angel thought AJ might see them and get the wrong idea. "Yup, you are. So, just tell me who I gets you down and I'll give then a nice hexing or jinxing.'' LOL. Maybe not hexing or jinxing but definitely a good talking to.

Angel looked at Adi and smiled. "I hope that I am." Angel had no idea what to do next, so she just listened to everything that Adi was saying. "Oh no there is nothing better than talking, except eating maybe." Angel giggled at her friend "So NER!" Angel stuck her tongue out at her friend.

Angel looked around, there didn't seem to be any sign of AJ. "Oh I don't know, I think your hands are too sweaty." Angel poked her friend in the ribs to show she was joking.

"Oh just Abby." Angel sighed. "I think she hates my guts because I tried to tell her to think about AJ when she was all googly eyes over him, she should have been protecting AJ and taking AJ's side not some boy who was mean and horrible to her sister."

Angel looked at Adi and smiled. "I hope that I am." Angel had no idea what to do next, so she just listened to everything that Adi was saying. "Oh no there is nothing better than talking, except eating maybe." Angel giggled at her friend "So NER!" Angel stuck her tongue out at her friend.

Angel looked around, there didn't seem to be any sign of AJ. "Oh I don't know, I think your hands are too sweaty." Angel poked her friend in the ribs to show she was joking.

"Oh just Abby." Angel sighed. "I think she hates my guts because I tried to tell her to think about AJ when she was all googly eyes over him, she should have been protecting AJ and taking AJ's side not some boy who was mean and horrible to her sister."[spoiler]

"No, trust me. I know that you are. I tried to do the same thing last year but it didn't go according to plan.'' If anything, it made Benny feel really bad and Adi really guilty. "Nu uh. Eating is waaay better than talking.'' It was something the Puffer was very much firm on. Food was awesome!

O_O Adi's hands were not sweaty, thank you very much. He was not at all sweaty. It was such a breezy day that it would be difficult to sweat anyway. "It's okay. I guess you don't want Benny seeing that.'' He winked.

"Honestly, I don't blame you. I'd be telling her the same thing. Plus, she was wrong to slap you.'' Very wrong indeed. "Did she get in trouble or anything?''

There was a Kyroh standing by the lake, doing this thing under a tree that made him look Dot's mum had looked during the very brief time when yoga had been a thing in their house. It hadn't lasted, 'cause Stella hated looking stupid. And hated how her bum looked in yoga pants.

But the point... what the heck was Kyroh doing?

"Are you waving at a bird?" That seemed likely. Hullo, birds. Dot waved too.

Fingers were working hard. Streccccching UP and UP and ...okay not really up, there was after all only so much you could stretch when it came to figures. A faint gurgling noise escaped his mouth as he struggled to stretch higher.

Bird?

Kyroh spun around, dropping his hands as someone's voice caught his attention. Dot!! "Noo....I'm climbing a tree." Couldn't she SEE?! "Or...almost climbing. I think I have to touch it before the climbing starts."

Tree climbing. Dot hopped up the path to stand next to Kyroh, leaning waaaaay back to check out how the clouds seemed to be sitting in the top branches. She kind of wanted to climb too. With Kyroh.

"We learned to float stuff last term. I can float you up to that branch." Maybe. Was floating people as easy as floating a feather? And she'd never even dropped the feather, so Kyroh was probably safe.

Floating!? Kyroh's eyes grew. "Miss Dora taught me how to do that last term too! She floated me up in the air." He hadn't even THOUGHT of that. SMART Dot. Kyroh wrapped his arms around her for a HUG- half in greeting and half in praise.

"But I kinda wanna do it on my own. Without magic y'know? Best wizard ever right here. Cearly.

And there was all-of-a-sudden hugging happening. Dot bopped her nose against Kyroh's shoulder, which was her own way of saying hello back. And that she didn't mind hugs. Bop bop bop.

"Without magic. I'll boost you." Dot wriggled free of the hug and held out her hands in a little stair step. He wasn't much bigger than her, and it was just a LITTLE boost. She was so strong, really.

"And then you can float me up."

Grinning the cheesiest of grins up at Tobes, Soph stayed laying on her back, lightly clasping her fingers behind her head to act as a pillow. "Fancy meeting you here," the Ravenclaw quipped.

Aaaaaand darkness.

Soph huffed into the book on her face, feigning distress, then she flung her head to the side to make the book fall off her face and close next to her, but she got a faceful of hair in the process. "Thanks for that. You're such a nerd," she remarked with exactly no malice in her voice, the corners of her lips turning upward in a smile as she brushed her hair away from her mouth. Then she promptly head-butted his side before twisting around so she could use his leg as a pillow instead of her hands and made herself quite comfortable against him. "To what do I owe today's meeting, hm? Can't imagine you just wanted to see me today, Merlin forbid. Dunno why you'd ever wanna do that." Hehehehe. "I'm dreadful company." Cue the unnecessary pathetic, pouty faces.

Squint. "You made me lose my page," Toby said, though he still grinned all the same as he watched Soph get into position; apparently he was to be used as some kind of pillow today, which was unsurprising.

Leaving the book where it was, Toby began lazily playing with Soph's hair, looking out over the lake until she spoke again.

"Oh, yeah... absolutely dreadful," he 'agreed', teasing the Ravenclaw as he did. "Simply the worst. Spending time with my best friend? Man, unspeakable." Toby put his hand down over her face. "Aside from just hanging out, I was wondering if you might be up for pulling a little prank?"

Toby pulled his hand off her face and grinned down at her, all innocently. "Nothing big, just a little harmless surprise for someone. Two someones." Hmmm? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?

The LAST time he had tried to hug Dot she hadn't hugged him back, but THIS TIME- well it wasn't much different but kinda? Nose-meet shoulder different. That was good right? The boy BEAMED.

A boost?

He glanced up at the branch again. It wasn't THAT high, but It was too high for him to touch it with just standing straight up or even while jumping, but maybe a boost would give him a bit more height? "Are you sure you aren't a Ravenclaw?" He tapped her head gently. Or maybe she was just a super smart Slytherin? "OKAY! I LIKE you're plan" He said finally, nodding.

Bouncing a bit to pump himself up, he planted his foot in Dot's hands and JUMPED.

Only JUUST reaching the branch his hands wrapped around and the second year stared. Wide eyed. Dangling there. "LOOK! I DID IT!!!!!" Wait- what did he do now?

Kyroh moved fast, and before Dot knew it, she had a full size boy person using her body to kick off from the ground. Dot tried to LIFT her hands to help him up, and as he went upupup, Dot went downdowndown. She sprawled on the ground and peered up at Kyroh, who was now in the branches with the clouds.

"You did it." Obviously. He obviously did it. Without moving anything but her hand, Dot wiggled her fingers at him and smiled just slightly. "I'm not a Ravenclaw. The hat wouldn't talk to me." And it was kinda mean to remind her of it.

DOTTIE DOWN!

Which, Kyroh couldn't really see because looking down made him feel like he was going down. Struggling the twelve year pulled himself up slow and swung his leg over the branch. LOOK! HE CLIMBED! HE WAS SITTING! ON A TREE!

A Hogwarts FIRST! Grinning he finally looked down at his friend. "How'd you fall over?? Did I do that? ARE YOU HURT?" Uhoh. An injured Dot was NOT something to cheer about.

But if she was injured at least she was talking. That was good right?

It occurred to him that he hadn't talked about Dot not being a Ravenclaw yet. And she HAD been upset about it before....."The hat is kinda stupid. But kinda not." Nod. He was quite for a few seconds. "I told it I wanted to be a Slytherin last year. And it told me about all the other houses." Which was POINTLESS. "And then it yelled at me to go into Ravenclaw." Very rudely too. Rude yelling old hat. "And I'm not that smart at all. But If I hadn't gone to Ravenclaw then maybe I wouldn't be friends with Dima and Maddie, and then if I wasn't friends with Dima maybe I wouldn't be friends with you." So Ravenclaw was good for him right? And MAYBE Slytherin would be good for Dot? "I think it's alright you're not with us, 'cause we'll always be your friend no matter what." Even now, when he was in a tree.

And she wasn't.

Dot pretended like she could look up Kyroh's nose from here, and it sort of made her feel giddy and relieved that she wasn't in the tree too. Not where someone could look up her nose. Or up her skirt. Or notice the patched bit on the bottom of her shoes. Any of those things. The ground was nice, and she was still sort of hanging about with her friend. She pulled her hands behind her head and snuggled into the fallen leaves.

"Not hurt. I like it on the ground. I can feel the earth spinning from here." Or sometimes it seemed like it. Like she was riding it in a big circle. She put a big red leaf over her eyes so that she couldn't even see Kyroh and the clouds and the tree.

"I don't like that hat. You should be Slytherin if you want, and I should be Ravenclaw. We'd still be friends." But why would he want to be Slytherin? Did he have someone he loved in the dungeons? Maybe Dot could make friends with Kyroh's friends.

"Terribly sorry," Sophie replied breezily at the accusation of making Toby lose his page. The worst thing she could've ever done. She felt terrible. So terrible that she just smiled and wiggled around, getting comfier using Tobes as her own personal pillow.

Soph hummed and closed her eyes when Toby began fiddling with her hair, very visibly content - until he began lightly teasing further about how awful it was to spend the time with her, and she snorted, followed by giggling at his hand over her face.

She let it stay there, unbothered by his antics, and grinned a positively mischievous smile at the suggestion of a prank. On two someones. The only two someones that they would ever prank. "Pavy," she hissed delightedly, sitting up and peeking around to make sure people weren't listening. Or that THEY weren't there. Hehehehe. "What's the plan?" She would be down with anything.

"If it's spinning too much for you i'll just levitate you up here, okay?" That had been the plan after all. Kyroh slowly scooted sideways until he was right beside the trunk of the tree. Pressing his back against it he lifted up both his legs and grinned. Up in the aiiiirr. On HIS tree. "D'you think Gilligan is a good name for this tree?"

"Do you really want to be a Ravenclaw?"She wanted to switch places with him? Him...Slytherin? There were good people in Slytherin. Like Kenzie of course. And Grayson and Simon and Ethan. But there were also others.....he shook his head quickly. "'Cause I don't want to be in Slytherin anymore." He stated finally. "I don't think i'd fit much down there and I think the hat knows stuff.

O_O Adi's hands were not sweaty, thank you very much. He was not at all sweaty. It was such a breezy day that it would be difficult to sweat anyway. "It's okay. I guess you don't want Benny seeing that.'' He winked.

Angel stuck her tongue out at Adi. "Oh well that seems amazing and now we have to wait and see what Ben does." Angel giggled, she totally was amazed that he had tried and failed she had no idea what to say next but thankfully he was talking about something else. "Nu uh. Talking is a lot more better than anything else." Angel laughed, this was getting them nowhere.

Angel looked at Adi. "Oh it's not that." Angel looked around as she saw that AJ wasn't around, she decided to give him a small quick hug. "Thanks for cheering me up Adi." Angel smiled, now could everyone get off her back about what her mood was.

Angel looked away from Adi as he spoke again. "We both lost points." Angel sighed. "I eh... I eh... She wouldn't apologise for the slap so I...eh... I grabbed her hair and pulled it." Angel thought that Adi would be cross with her.

"You know, Angel,'' Adi began. "Someday, someone is going to grab that tongue of yours and tug on it.'' LOL. She certainly stuck her tongue out a lot. More than Adi did. "I guess. Let's hope he opens that mouth of his more to speak. Though I don't think I'd stand it if he became a chatterbox like you.''

Goody. Now he didn't feel so bad that she hadn't hugged him back before. "No problem.'' Honestly, Adi knew she would do the same for him. She and AJ were alike in that way. "Benny would cheer you up faster though.'' It was his turn to stick his tongue out.

Lost points, huh. Adi raised an eyebrow. Apparently Abby was a stubborn one. Not surprising as the other two sister were too. AJ mostly. "Well, she was very much wrong but you probably weren't right to pull her hair either.'' Poor Angel. She looked ashamed for her actions. "Don't worry about it. Did she apologise to you, anyway?''

She moved the leaf and peeked at Kyroh again. He had moved back and didn't look so much like he was floating, and she could look at him properly without feeling the world spinning anymore. "You should levitate me anyway. I've never been levitated."

Most people didn't. Hadn't. Most people weren't able to fly without a broom. She touched the tree by reaching waaaaaaaay out and poking it with the toe of her shoe. "Gilligan. I like it."

Trees should have people names. And people should have tree names. She'd like her name to be Sycamore. And Kyroh could be Maple. "I want to be with you and Dima. Slytherins..." Dot sat up, suddenly restless and unnecessarily violent with the leaves that were piled around her ankles. Push-punch-crunch. "I don't know what a Cutty is, anyway." Grumpy Dot.

Now that his back was against the trunk he felt secure, and falling down wasn't going to be an issue or anything. Drawing his wand Kyroh took a deep breath. Levitate. Got it. He knew the incantation. He knew the wand movement. He just had to FOCUS- cause he wasn't levitating a rock or anything. He was about to lift a real live, Dot.

Buut then his focus was cut off. Patting the tree, Kyroh grinned. "See Mr. Gilligan? Dottie likes you."

"You're still with us, at Hogwarts." His face fell as Dot started to punch the leaves. Leaf punching was bad and not knowing what a Cutty was, was good so YUP. TIME TO LEVITATE. Letting out a breath he carefully raised his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa!" With a swish and a flick he pointed it at the redhead.

"Oh I'm not so sure Adi." Angel sighed. "I've just been feeling so down and strange lately that I don't think seeing a pig flying would have cheer me up." Angel did like Benny but she wasn't sure he could cheer her up. "It's like when he kissed me...." Angel stopped and looked away. "I mean it's like the usual stuff." Angel hoped Adi didn't realise what she had said.

The lake (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=134616104) looked really pretty, tranquil even from where she was sitting. It didn’t mean she’d ever so much as stick a toe in the freezing waters of the black lake. Heck, this was probably as much nature as she had been around in ages?

Her boots tapped against the tree as she sat perched herself on a middle branch. Some people might have thought it odd to see a girl sitting in a tree…or well trashy? considering she was wearing a skirt. But the thing was she didn’t really care what others thought not since before it happened.

Her eyes prickled momentarily “Oh rats,” she grumbled as she reached down her leg for her wand holster. She needed to take her allergy meds right? A cat was obviously near by. There was no way in hell that this kick-in-the-pants-amazing specimen of a girl was crying.

No.

She wouldn’t let that.

Though if it happened she’d blame divination's class and those stupid balls.

It seemed as if he was about to levitate her, which would be quite new and different, and then Kyroh got all distracted by his Mr. Gilligan. Dot waited patiently for him to stop talking to the tree, only splashing her hands against the leaves a LITTLE bit to get his attention.

And then she posed like she was one of those old mummies in a box, arms across her chest and eyes closed. She was going to float up like that. No falling. No doubting Kyroh. He was her friend, yeah?

"They aren't very friendly," Dot opened an eye and peeked at Kyroh, and she was delighted to find that he was so much closer. "It worked! You did it." Both eyes flew open then, and she flailed toward the branches.

His face was scrunched up. Brows together, and tongue sticking ever so slightly out of his mouth as he concentrated on the spell. Dot was important okay? And not making Dot fall was even more important. So he had to FOCUS.

Everything was going good but then she started wiggling around. "You gotta grab the branch." She was THERE. She could do it. And he'd held help her if she couldn't!

Dot wrapped both arms around the nearest branch and hung on for dear life. She wasn't exactly a model of upper body strength or anything, but it was surprising what one could accomplish when they feared for their life several feet above the hard ground.

Where were all those leaves NOW?

"I am grabbing," she grumped as she managed to throw one leg over the branch, and then she just hung out like a sloth, an arm and leg wrapped around the branch, her tights getting torn to bits, and her mother somewhere back in London somehow knowing that Dot was up a tree in a skirt. Mothers always knew. "This is how we climb trees in Durmstrang."

Like a sloth.

Adi laughed. "If you're sure about that.'' Angel was pretty, she was right about that. Ha! "One chatterbox is enough, thank you very much. Do you want me to go mad with all that chatter?''

"How about a dragon flying then?'' Get it? He was still sort of dragging Benny into this. What, WHAT? Hold up! Adi's eyes snapped to focus totally on Angel. "He kissed you? When?'' Why had Benny not mentioned this to him? As best friend to the Dragon, Adi thought he should know that him and Angel were moving from being just friends.

"You're still mad at her,'' he reasoned. "When you've calmed down I bet you'll forgive her.'' Adi could not see her being mad at her sister for a long time.

Angel looked at Adi and smiled. "Yeah I do say so." Angel had no idea what else to say. "Oh no it's not." Angel really thought it would be cool if there was two chatterbox. "Oh you wouldn't go mad." Angel stuck her tongue out at her friend. "Your a chatterbox as well."

"No I don't think that would work as well." Angel really didn't think so anyway. "Oh he just kissed me on the cheeks at Diagon Alley." Angel said truthfully. "I think he kissed me as a brother would kiss a sister." So there was no need for Adi to get upset.

Angel sighed. "I just don't like being slap for no reason whatsoever." Angel really thought that was so bad. "Now can we talk about something else?" Angel looked at Adi, could they please?

O_O He was a chatterbox too? Hmmm...Adi never really thought of that. He knew he talked a lot plus bombarded people with questions when he had them. "I think you're the first person to actually tell me that.'' And not that he minded. He liked people who could just be straight up with him.

Adi looked at Angel. "You sure about that? He might be falling for you, you know.'' How...strange it was. Benny had always been so quiet and kept to himself so it was kind of strange for Adi to see the Dragon changing. Plus, another thing was weird. Besties falling for identical looking siblings.

"Um, yeah sure.'' Adi totally got that Angel didn't want to talk about Abby anymore and he understood. "So, why do you think the kiss was brotherly?''

Being the sporty type and much more at home on a sports court than cooped up inside, Layla had found some comfort in being outside in the grounds. Although they were beautiful and vast, the fifth year knew that it was impossible to do what she loved out here but just being out in the fresh air was second best. The lake was a particularly nice spot for relaxing out in the sunshine in. With the days drawing in and the prospect of winter getting closer and closer, many of the students had clearly thought of taking advantage of the last of that summers rage as Autumn started its path.

The fifth year wandered out through the grounds not really paying much attention to where exactly she was going nor what was going on around her. She didn’t care much either. These people were still nothing like her and she was just taking every day as it came. Step by step. She promised she would give this school a go and she was, it was just taking a bit of time. The blonde approached the lake and glanced into its depths. She knew her cousins common room was situated somewhere under there and she found that quite difficult to fathom. Surely it was all dark and dingy and unpleasant. But he seemed to be enjoying himself and in some ways Layla wished she was down there rather than up in the tower with the girls that shared her dorm.

She slumped under the tree that branched its way over the lake, taking shelter from the suns rays under its leaves. She merely watched as students came and went and as the gentle breeze blew small ripples across the waves surface.

If there was one nice thing about this school it was that it was quite peaceful sometimes despite the number of students.

It was a nice day out and Vinnie couldnt cope with staying inside. For some reason reading outside sounded so much more appealing then reading inside today. Maybe it was the thought of winter approaching fast...and she really had had enough of the cold and freezing season. These chorts had shortened her summer and she didnt like it. Some people had complained about not being able to tan properly but the girl couldnt care less about being tanned or not. It was more like enjoying the warmth on your skin, going swimming and doing stuff outside. Being stuck in the castle hadnt been her fave part, cause most of the things at Hogwarts happened outside.

Book under her arm and sunglasses on her nose the Slytherin made her way down to the grounds. Over last term the lake had become her favourite spot...actually that one tree she'd always sit under. It was perfect, you could enjoy the sun without getting burned. Also a good spot for picnics.

Seemed like a lot of people had the same idea and wanted to enjoy the sun for as long as possible. Maybe everyone was traumatized after last term...who knew. Walking to her tree the brunette noticed someone already sat under it. Oh well, since she was in a good mood today they could share. Approaching Vinnie eyed the girl sitting there. "Layla", she said and nodded at her,"mind if i join you?"

Dot wrapped both arms around the nearest branch and hung on for dear life. She wasn't exactly a model of upper body strength or anything, but it was surprising what one could accomplish when they feared for their life several feet above the hard ground.

Where were all those leaves NOW?

"I am grabbing," she grumped as she managed to throw one leg over the branch, and then she just hung out like a sloth, an arm and leg wrapped around the branch, her tights getting torn to bits, and her mother somewhere back in London somehow knowing that Dot was up a tree in a skirt. Mothers always knew. "This is how we climb trees in Durmstrang."

Like a sloth.

Now that floating Dot wasn't a main priority, Kyroh quickly put his wand back into his holster. It really didn't occur to him that Dot was wearing a skirt while climbing because, they couldn't be that much different from pants right? Pushing himself off the back of the tree he looked over at the hanging Slytherin. "I thought it was too cold for trees to grow in Durmstrang? 'Cept for evergreens." And who would want to climb THAT? They looked painful.

Anyways. Leaning over Kyroh held his hands out. "You gotta drop your foot and i'll help you up!" Come on. He was here to HELP cause he was big and strong and GRRR."And THEN you can sit beside me!...Or fall. One might happen I dunno which yet."

"Evergreens have more branches, and some have no needles close to the trunk," Dot offered, perhaps a little pedantic considering she was still slothing on the branch. As instructed, Dot dropped her leg and threw over her other arm.

Catch catch catch us! "I choose sitting. Not falling." And she was mostly able to pull himself up, but it would be awfully nice if Kyroh would give her a hand.

"But aren't those branches smaller and easier to break?" Dangerous. It sounded DANGEROUS. Almost like tree climbing. Except there was a point in climbing when you'd start tree sitting AND that wasn't that dangerous. He'd know because Kyroh was getting pretty good at that now.

"Good choice!! First best choice!" Grabbing Dot's arm, he leaned back a bit and tugged, with MOST of his strength. Not all of it because falling down was not in his plans EITHER.

GOSH. HER RAP. It was TOTALLY AWESOME! Like the best ever...which was why it needed to longer. LIKE WHY NOT?

With her notebook and quill in hand, Abbi made her way towards the lake where she gazed about looking for somewhere not too sunny to sit. It wasn't that she didn't like the warm, she HELLA liked it, it was just that she couldn't exactly write with the sun shinning BOOM SMACK in her face.

Eventually she headed towards the beach tree, whilst hoping it's branches would be her savior of the day. PHEW. SHADE at last. The fourth year plonked down and then the scribbles began.

Again...her rap was TOTALLLY WAY TOO COOL!

Eden had left Daisy in her dorm, but she had one of her marshmallow shooters that her dad had gotten her right before she had left for school. Phoenix had the other one, but that was okay. She wanted to see how far she could launch the marshmallows. She had a bag of them tucked under her arm, and she thought shooting them into the lake would be a good idea. They wouldn't hit anyone...so yeah.

She plopped on the ground under the tree next to--Oh! Abbi! The girl she had baked a cake with Clara with! HEEEEY! She smiled. "Hi, Abbi!" she said cheerfully as she carefully opened the bag of marshmallows and stuffed one into her mouth. "Wandddone?" she asked, mouth full. Manners, yep, Eden totally had those.........not.

She shoved a few of the marshmallows into the little thing that would shooooot them out. HEH. She winked at Abbi. "Me' dad got me this--and I wanted to try it out--" she said with a grin. "But I don't want to HIT anyone." Nope. Not on PURPOSE anyways.

"But I don't want to HIT anyone." Nope. Not on PURPOSE anyways.Her scribbles were HELLA fast and at it, alright? But soon enough she got a little less motivated and so Abbi began drifting into stares at her paper every now and then. Just thinking OKAY. Like about what else to actually write and all, but of course she was the type to get distracted uber easily and before she knew it there was someone to add with that distraction.

WELL HELLO. The fourth year at once put her KINDA private notebook away (aka she sat on it) and then smiled towards Eden, the cake baker. "Hey gurl!"There was a drop of sassiness in her tone, not the rude type according to Abbi though, more the we're both too cool. YOU KNOW? "YEAH. DUH." Why did she even ask when food was involved? The answer would close to always be a YES. Her hand immediately extended and she waited for that thing called marshmallow heavens.

Huh?

WHAT was THAT now? The item in Eden's hand had Abbi's FULL attention. "Is that like a shooting thing?" SO COOL OMG. Cept common, Eden where was the fun in NOT hitting people? Hmmm? "I dare you to hit the next person to walk by. " HEHEHEHEHEHE. Now this would be fun times!

"Terribly sorry," Sophie replied breezily at the accusation of making Toby lose his page. The worst thing she could've ever done. She felt terrible. So terrible that she just smiled and wiggled around, getting comfier using Tobes as her own personal pillow.

Soph hummed and closed her eyes when Toby began fiddling with her hair, very visibly content - until he began lightly teasing further about how awful it was to spend the time with her, and she snorted, followed by giggling at his hand over her face.

She let it stay there, unbothered by his antics, and grinned a positively mischievous smile at the suggestion of a prank. On two someones. The only two someones that they would ever prank. "Pavy," she hissed delightedly, sitting up and peeking around to make sure people weren't listening. Or that THEY weren't there. Hehehehe. "What's the plan?" She would be down with anything.

*SNORT*

"Pavy?" Toby repeated as Soph looked around for eavesdroppers. He was first tickled by the word, and then more amused, and then found himself out right GIGGLING at it. Oh man, that was beautiful. This nerd, man. THIS NERD RIGHT HERE.

Ehe. Ehehehehe. Ahaaaa. Whew. Man.

SO THE PRANK.

"Well, uhh..." Pressure was ON NOW. Toby wasn't THAT good at thinking up ingenious plans; he just liked the idea of getting on over on the pair of them. The Hufflepuff leant back, propping himself up with his hands. "Nothing too big. Maybe just a traditional water balloon thing, but we can use magic to make it better. I figured you'd help with ideas for that bit." Pause. Grin. "We could try and make it look like Thompson pranked Fuller, and the other way 'round."

MAYBE. That would be difficult though, but soooooo worth it if they pulled it off.

"Not all of them. Not near the center." But what were they even talking about? She'd go hunt out an evergreen to show Kyroh at some point in the future, but for right now, she was just trying really hard not to all out of a tree.

It was awfully nice of Kyroh to drag her up into the branches, and she held tight to her new best friend (the tree, not the Kyroh). The Kyroh did get a smile, though. A small one. "No falling today."

Only... one thing. "How are we getting back down?"

Sophie beamed, the proudest of grins stretching across her face as she successfully made Toby giggle so freely. She loved getting that kind of reaction out of him, certain that he never looked cuter than when he was heartily laughing about something.

But he was pretty cute all the time, wasn't he?

Leaning in slightly as he Tobes starting explaining his thought process, Soph nodded slowly, squinting slightly as she analyzed everything he said. Hm. HM. So it was a half-baked plan. He had an idea - well, multiple ideas, sort of, and she wondered if they'd be able to incorporate all factors he wanted into one prank - but... he needed her expertise. Obviously.

"Do you have the water balloons?" First things first. And... hmm. How could they make it look like one betrayed the other? "D'you think they prank each other at school? I mean, they'd have to do that, like... behind closed doors so the students wouldn't know about it and get ideas that they're free for pranking or whatever. So we'd have to... probably do it in their offices, if we want one to think it's the other? Somehow?" She rubbed her chin, fully taking on the role as an evil mastermind of sorts, and hummed thoughtfully.

"One of us could distract them while the other... I dunno, sets up some sort of contraption in one of the offices? And the distracting person could bait them to the office and make sure they enter first and get the wrath of it? But then they'd probably know it's us, y'know, and we'd have to go into it knowing they might get us back right away or whatever." Or they could get a loss of points or detention.

...Hey, it could happen.

But she didn't know. There were too many possibilities. "What were YOU thinking?" Surely he had some sort of rough plan in mind, didn't he?

Did he have waterballoons?

"Well, Soph, I dunno if you've heard of this new thing called 'magic'," Toby responded, doing what he thought was a pretty good job of sounding super informative and stuff. "I can get hold of them anyway, don't worry about that." It wouldn't be today after all.

Man. Soph... was using her brain.

"You are thinking wayyyyyyy too much about this," Toby snorted, flopping back on the grass and grinning. "I already figured we could get their offices, or at least the doors." IF they couldn't get inside, seeing as it was likely that a lot of professors here kept their offices magically locked. "And we could do it while they're at dinner or something... although..." Although it was probably too much work to make it seem like the other one had done it. "Maybe we could just get both their offices, and make sure we're faaaaaaaar away when it happens."

Okay, so no, Toby hadn't put much thought into this. He was no Ravenclaw, and his pranks had always been small and not needing big extravagant blueprints.

"Here's my idea," Toby turned around and flopped onto his stomach so he was facing Soph. "We get the waterballoons and a big bucket, we fill the water balloons with a charm-" he knew just the one "-and put them in the bucket. Then we turn the bucket invisible-" this was where magic was super handy "-and set up some kind of tripwire that hangs the bucket over the door, and turn that invisible. When they walk into the that, it tips the bucket and they get pelted with waterballoons."

SUPER SIMPLE STUFF. Ehehehe.

"Maybe we could do it in the morning, before we go running." Toby got up at an unspeakably early time, after all. "Then it's more likely to them that cop it."

Did she see? HMMMM?

"So this is why I keep you around. I suppose I'd forgotten," she teased in response to Toby's simple, logical approach to the plan. "That sounds perfect. I can get our bucket. Or two buckets?" WERE they going to do both offices?

...The two... didn't stay in the same office to sleep in overnight, did they?

...DID they?

She wasn't going to verbalize that thought, no. The brief, mildly horrified look in her eyes probably communicated that passing thought to Tobes well enough. Probably.

"Morning's good. Maybe we can do it in place of our run, then. Or... maybe it'll be incorporated IN as part of our run." If something went wrong and they had to run away from the two professors, get it? She grinned and reached to hold his hand. "I don't mean to inflate your ego here or anything, but you're kind of a genius - a mastermind, even. I may have underestimated you." Hehehehe.

Toby picked at some blades of grass, looking thoughtful. "Two buckets; we'll get em both if we can." Both offices, that was. The Hufflepuff nodded along to Soph's idea (IGNORING that horrified look tyvm), and reached out to hold her hand when she gestured for it. "I know. I'm quite brilliant, y'know." That was ACTUALLY a joke. Toby was no brains really. "I'd be nothing without my Ravenclaw."

Hmmmmmmmm. "D'you think there's some kind of tripwire spell? All I know about is the Trip Jinx, and that's no good. I mean, we could always use string, but..." Toby looked thoughtfully out over the lake and up at the castle. "We could check the library? M'not sure it's something we could ask Fuller about."

TWO buckets. Sophie nodded her approval, imagining... what if one professor woke up and left their office first, got the blast of it, then went to accuse or complain to the OTHER professor and got the blast of it there, TOO? Hahahhahaah. Sophie cackled out laughter at her own thoughts, but once again didn't verbalize her thought process, instead just leaning across to plant a kiss on Toby's cheek. "Darn right," she replied cheekily to his comment about being nothing without his Ravenclaw, nudging him gently with an elbow to further let him know she was teasing.

He would still be all the good things without her, she knew that very well.

Tripwire spell? "Maaaaybe... I dunno. I think Fuller WOULD tell us, honestly, 'cause he loves us and all, but we'd probably have to promise not to use it on him or not use it at all, maybe, since he's a professor and has to discourage our antics, probably. So then if we DID use it on him, his wrath'd probably be worse, but... personally, I'd rather betray him than Thompson. Fuller likes me better, I think. He always takes our stuff in good humor." He'd never gotten mad at her for pranking him, not that she could recall. Fuller took things like a champ. So using his own suggested spell against him... probably wouldn't be THAT bad of a thing, she thought.

"B'we can go to the library. Mr. Kitridge likes me a lot, too, so we could ask him to help us. M'pretty sure he thinks pretty highly of me and wouldn't be all that suspicious, so if we can't find something that'll work on our own in a book, we'll have the back-up plan of asking him, too." If they DIDN'T want to just go to see Fuller first.

"He knew I was your boyfriend, by the way." Probably a weird time to mention it, but hey, he just remembered.

All that about whose wraith might be worse though? Toby just grinned.

"Thompson's just a big ol' teddy bear really." ... "Uh, don't tell him I said that. Let him keep his street cred and all." Yeah. Totally.

Buuuuuuuuuuuut... she had a point about Fuller. Hm. HMMMMM. "Y'think if we ask Fuller, he'll reckon we're gonna prank someone else?" Asking advice from the person you're about to prank? It was sort of like a double bluff. "You could ask Fuller, 'cause there's no way I'll be able to not give something away. You're better at words than I am."

Toby looked at her. "Whatcha reckon?" The Hufflepuff checked his watch. Yep, a while 'til dinner yet. "You could ask him now, and meet me in the library after?"

"Well... string does the job okay too, trust me on that," Toby grinned. Eheh. Ha. Hm. Not speaking from experience at all here, nope. "But Kitridge... yeah, he could be helpful." ........... "He knew I was your boyfriend, by the way." Probably a weird time to mention it, but hey, he just remembered.

All that about whose wraith might be worse though? Toby just grinned.

"Thompson's just a big ol' teddy bear really." ... "Uh, don't tell him I said that. Let him keep his street cred and all." Yeah. Totally.

Soph raised an eyebrow at Toby's knowledge on string, snorting a little and offering up an accusatory, "You're absolutely speaking from experience on this. That's good." And... what? Kitridge knew that? Ha! "Well, we were just named the cutest couple in the yearbook, remember? We're kind of a big deal." She played with his fingers as she spoke, grinning because they WERE such a well-liked couple.

She loved that they had student-voted, written proof that they were cute togethernerds.

Raising a questioning eyebrow again at Toby's suggestion that Thompson was a teddy bear, Soph actually laughed aloud at that in disbelief. "I'm absolutely gonna tell him you said that." She would, too. Hehehehe.

Pondering their next course of action as Tobes talked it over, Soph nodded slowly before speaking, "Yeah... yeah. I'll go ahead and ask Fuller. He likes me best anyway." She KNEW that wasn't true - both professors liked Toby best, she knew her place - but she couldn't keep from pulling her boyfriend's leg some more. "And, if all else fails, we can use your string experience to carry out the plan. Plan to meet ya in the library... in... half hour?" It couldn't possibly take TOO long to get an answer out of Fuller, could it?

Pffffhhhbhbhbhbhhhht! "So what if I am, hellion," Toby grinned. "You're not the only one with a pranking history." Soph knew. Maybe only vaguely, but she knew.

Big deal. Pshhh. Well, okay, yeah... maybe. To SOME people. "As long as you're aware that I am the one who brings the cuteness into this relationship." Eehehehehehe. Teasing was fun.

Wait. WAIT. Toby STARED at Soph. "You. Wouldn't. Dare." As soon as he said it out loud, he KNEW she WOULD tell Thompson what he'd said. And for that, as a preemptive strike, he reached across and took some of her looooooooong hair and placed it over her face. There; now her plan was foiled.

That done, Toby got into a kneeling position and grabbed his History of Magic book.

"Good plan," he nodded, shoving the book in his bag, and jumping to his feet. Toby held out a hand for Soph TOO, even though he was mentally side-eyeing her for her promise to tell Thompson about the teddy bear thing. "C'mon, hellion."

"Not all of them. Not near the center." But what were they even talking about? She'd go hunt out an evergreen to show Kyroh at some point in the future, but for right now, she was just trying really hard not to all out of a tree.

It was awfully nice of Kyroh to drag her up into the branches, and she held tight to her new best friend (the tree, not the Kyroh). The Kyroh did get a smile, though. A small one. "No falling today."

Only... one thing. "How are we getting back down?"

"Huh. I think I should climb more trees." People who climbed more trees probably knew about all of this. So now that he could SO climb a tree he'd have to go on tree climbing adventures, right?

Once Dot was up and SAFE Kyroh let go and kicked his legs out in the open air.

...Getting down?

"I didn't think that far ahead." He paused. "Didn't even think we'd get up." His face lit up in a grin. "We might have to live here forever and maybe become tree people with Gilligan!"

Soph DID know of Toby's pranking history - just a little, but she figured he was a pretty good pranker, at least in the Muggle world. She'd yet to see much of his grand, evil genius ways, but she figured the time had finally come that she'd get to see what he was made of. And frankly, she couldn't wait for tomorrow morning to come.

SCOFF. "I'm pretty sure I'm the sweet-talker here and I'm younger so that makes me cuter, too, plus look at my HAIR." She couldn't wipe the smile off her face and her tone was very obviously teasing and sarcastic during her whole super unconvincing spiel, but she still casually flipped her long, wavy hair purposefully as if it'd convince him. Hehehehe.

And she was absolutely going to tell Thompson, HAIR IN HER FACE OR NOT. Ideally when Tobes was there so she could look between the two and cackle at their reactions.

All out of looooove.

Rising to her feet, Soph took Toby's outstretched hand with a smile. "Love you, nerd," was her reply as she cheerfully headed back to the castle with him, ready to smooooth-talk Fuller like a pro.

Her scribbles were HELLA fast and at it, alright? But soon enough she got a little less motivated and so Abbi began drifting into stares at her paper every now and then. Just thinking OKAY. Like about what else to actually write and all, but of course she was the type to get distracted uber easily and before she knew it there was someone to add with that distraction.

WELL HELLO. The fourth year at once put her KINDA private notebook away (aka she sat on it) and then smiled towards Eden, the cake baker. "Hey gurl!"There was a drop of sassiness in her tone, not the rude type according to Abbi though, more the we're both too cool. YOU KNOW? "YEAH. DUH." Why did she even ask when food was involved? The answer would close to always be a YES. Her hand immediately extended and she waited for that thing called marshmallow heavens.

Huh?

WHAT was THAT now? The item in Eden's hand had Abbi's FULL attention. "Is that like a shooting thing?" SO COOL OMG. Cept common, Eden where was the fun in NOT hitting people? Hmmm? "I dare you to hit the next person to walk by. " HEHEHEHEHEHE. Now this would be fun times!

Eden noticed the book sitting. YES. She totally did. She just eyed the book for a second, though, and looked back up. HMM. Hey girl. She just called Eden girl? It made the brunette burst into giggles, and she had to put her hands over her mouth to stop her from being obnoxious EVERYWHERE.

She chuckled when Abbi took a marshmallow, and Eden popped another one in her mouth and NOMNONOMMMMM marshmallows were so gooood. ANd basically nothing but AIR right? Hehehe. "Well--I'll let you--" and then she dared Eden to shoot the nEXT PERSON?! She eyed the couple nearby--that Sophie girl and her boyfriend who's name Eden had not LEARNED yet. UGH. "I--no--I can't shoot them Abbi--they're being all cute and coupley!" she said. She aimed the launcher at the lake and shot a few--just to show Abbi it's mad SKILLZ though, and chuckled because the marshmallows went ZOOOOOMING into lake--SO FAST AND STUFF.

Yes. The marshmallow shooter was PERFEEEECTT. "Who should I hit with marshmallows then, huh?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. IT sounded fun now. Heh.

Not that she minded cause like laughs were ALWAYS welcome as long as they weren't AT her. WERE THEY? Cause then well gosh, then SASSY would happen all the way. Mhmmmm!

That marshmallow was de-lic-ous! REALLY! It was and Abbi couldn't resist but heading for a second. Not all of them needed to be wasted on this shooter thing, you know. Some could totally be used for human purposes too and for hitting them as well. COUGH COUGH. Ugh. "Come on, why not? It'll be SO funny and I bet the most they'll do is laugh with it." It was't like marshmallows could do uber harm, after all they were SO soft.

Those skills though. OMG. COOL. SO COOL.

"That is WAY too awesome." Nods and excited smiles were given, but changed right back into smirks as Eden asked that question. "Again, aim for them. PLEASE. I'd even do it?" Yes. Like please Eden for the entertainment.

"Maybe we can worry about it later. When we're ready to get down." Dot didn't have a nice spot against the trunk like Kyroh, so she stayed low and flat against the branch and propped up her chin on her hands.

She was actually very worried about getting down without dying, but for now... for now, she'd just enjoy the view. Almost like being up in Dima's tower. Kyroh's tower, too.

"What are tree people like? Do they eat leaves?" She did NOT want to eat leaves. She wanted cake. Immediately.

It was a nice day out and Vinnie couldnt cope with staying inside. For some reason reading outside sounded so much more appealing then reading inside today. Maybe it was the thought of winter approaching fast...and she really had had enough of the cold and freezing season. These chorts had shortened her summer and she didnt like it. Some people had complained about not being able to tan properly but the girl couldnt care less about being tanned or not. It was more like enjoying the warmth on your skin, going swimming and doing stuff outside. Being stuck in the castle hadnt been her fave part, cause most of the things at Hogwarts happened outside.

Book under her arm and sunglasses on her nose the Slytherin made her way down to the grounds. Over last term the lake had become her favourite spot...actually that one tree she'd always sit under. It was perfect, you could enjoy the sun without getting burned. Also a good spot for picnics.

Seemed like a lot of people had the same idea and wanted to enjoy the sun for as long as possible. Maybe everyone was traumatized after last term...who knew. Walking to her tree the brunette noticed someone already sat under it. Oh well, since she was in a good mood today they could share. Approaching Vinnie eyed the girl sitting there. "Layla", she said and nodded at her,"mind if i join you?"

The sun was beaming down and despite it being autumn, the sunshine was just warm enough to be perfect outdoor weather. There was a gentle breeze that rippled across the top of the lake’s water and Layla’s attention was drawn to the movement. She’d heard that there was a giant squid under the water but she wasn’t sure she believed it. It seemed odd considering that students used the lake for wading in and yet there was a giant creature that could potentially threaten their safety.

Her attention was quickly drawn away by a voice declaring her name. She glanced up with a small smile as she noticed who it was. Layla didn’t really like that many people at this school, they were posh and stuck up and massive know-it-alls. But Vinnie was more like her, she was from London too and she didn’t seem like the others. Vinnie was actually worthy of one of her very rare smiles.

Unlike certain other people.

“Yeah, I don’t mind” she shuffled along the tree so there was room for Vinnie to lean against the trunk too. “I weren’t doin’ much anyway.” Just staring mindlessly at the lake. It wasn’t like there was anything else to do at this school.

Vinnie watched Layla make some space for her and smiled a little. That might have been the first smile ever. Cool stuff.Plopping down next to the blonde,she crossed her legs and rested against the trunk. It was a good day to be in a good mood since it was nice outside and the lake looked so beautiful from here. Even though she kind of lived under the lake, seeing it from here was totally different. It had been fun to swim with the merpeople though, merpeople were sooo fascinating. Maybe she could read about them later, before sleeping or something. Strangely enough the brunette hadnt read a lot when they were stuck in the castle...it was probably one of these things you only liked when you werent forced to do it. Like...for arithmancy or runes...why would anyone read that.

Looking over at the new girl, the Slytherin couldnt help but wonder how she was dealing with the situation. When she had first transferred, everything was so overwhelming and it took her about a year to cope. Especially with the people here....Hogwartian people were unlike any other people you'll meet. "Just enjoying the last warm days we have?" If you considered this warm... well for scottish weather it was. Being english, Vinnie as used to it...kind of. The weather wasnt too different in London, or in Nottingham.

I can't--I feel too MEAN--you do it--" and she SHOVED the launcher into Abbi's hands and hugged her knees to chest, shivering but also laughing into her hands.

GAH.

She wanted Abbi to do it...FOR THE LULZ, ABBI! Eden was just being a big...fat...NINNY. And normally, Eden wasn't one of those--but at this big new school? With little friends? No. She didn't want to make enemies--even WITH the younger ones. She raised an eyebrow at Abbi.

"I'll make up the dare some other way--PROMISE."

"Gilligan will help us." Get down that is. Kyroh was almost semi-sure of it. Mostly because the tree PROBABLY wanted to be climbed again so he had to help them get down if that were to happen.

And if he didn't want to help, they could always be levitated back down right?

"Ummm...." Kyroh tapped his finger against his chin, thinking. "I think it depends on what kind of tree they are in. Like if they're in a Maple tree they eat maple syrup. And if they're in a pine tree they eat pine cones. So we would eat- uh-" He looked around on the tree. "Bark."

Kace decided to take a walk down to one of his favorite places, the Tree by the Lake. He loved this area. It was quite peaceful and he loved seeing the view and the animals near the lake. He smiled and put his book bag down by the tree and took out his sketch book and doodled on it. It was just one of those activities where you can just let go and get lost in your own world. But as he was drawing he noticed a little cat was near him. He held out his hand for him to sniff and the little guy came over and put his head underneath it and he thought it was adorable. He wondered whose cat it could be? Maybe a stray?

While Paris was still very new to Hogwarts, he was a native of Scotland and was very accustomed to it's weather. So when he looked up at the sky and saw that it would most likely, he grabbed a light rain jacket and ran out to take advantage of the grounds while he still had a chance.

The fourth year made it all the way to the lake before slowing just enough to launch himself into the tree, almost slipping on the first branch and just managing to catch himself on the next one.

"I'm not eating bark," Dot pulled herself up a bit to eye the tree dubiously. No bark for her. "And if we want Gilligan to like us, I'm pretty sure we shouldn't eat him." Just a thought. Being nibbled always made Dot cross, and she wasn't even a tree.

She latched an arm around the tree and tried to scoot up into a seated position. "Have you ever climbed a tree before? D'you do it often?" Because standing at the bottom of a tree, wiggling your fingers at the branches, didn't seem the way to go.

Hope had returned to her consistent escape and as she observed it she found there to be more people in the tree than usual. Far too many honestly. She looked back at the lake and saw Cutty talking to some poor souls and she rolled her eyes. Better to be surrounded by these people than anywhere near the seriously deranged Mordaunt. At least she could be spared the way he seemed to know it all. Like there was something he knew about her that she didn't

With a good ump she caught a lower branch and pulled herself up into the branches. As she stepped from branch to branch she recognized a very familiar head petting a cat. Kace. Hmmmm. Maybe another day and with another jump she was momentarily suspended in air as she pushed herself forward to grasp another higher branch that was hanging a little ways out.

With grace she managed to make it and pull herself up. Yes, this was a good spot. Perfect view of the lake. She tugged at her hair and stared in amazement at the dark color. Should someone ask, she was rebuilding herself. Bringing for a new form of Hope Evans.

Caleb really loved the fact that it wasn't, you know...FREEZING here anymore. It was nice to finally get outside and enjoy the beautiful fall air. It was his favorite time of year, really - there were fun holidays like Halloween and then it immediately went into Christmas season. It was impossible NOT to be happy during this time of year! Even if he was still not talking to his twin.

As he walked, he heard a stirring in the tree above him. OMG. It was a squirrel ready to attack his hair, wasn't it? Jumping slightly, he immediately put his hands over his curly hair and looked up into the branches, expecting to see a rodent ready to pounce...instead he saw...Hope?

He wrinkled his eyebrows. What was she doing up THERE? "Hope?" he called up to her, just to make sure he wasn't going crazy and seeing things.

Murder had never been her style. Justine was more the scar them psychologically kind, or the life ruining kind, however she was all to happy to make an exception for Ian, who with his stupid, creeper grin and his infuriatingly delusional ideas of romance was the single handedly the most annoying human she’d ever encountered.

Oh baby!
That was not the mangled cry for mercy Justine had been hoping for. Appalled, and mortified by this disturbing turn of events, Justine was frozen, unable to move as the Gryffindor leaned down, his unpleasantly warm lips pressing unwanted kisses along her beautiful, clean, hands.

She could have died. Almost immediately, the girl pulled her hands from his neck, as if they’d been burned. Her bright eyes flashed dangerously to the young boy, equally in anger as well as fearful disgust.

“Y-you filthy- little- “ She could barely get out the words, she was so furious. And her accent had completely vanished, not even a trace was left as she glared hard and cold at Ian.

Her hands would never be clean again.

Ian looked like a kicked puppy when Justine, quite suddenly, snatched away her earlier gift and left his neck bare, without the warmth of her beautiful tanned hands. She always knew how to leave him wanting more.

He raised an eyebrow when she began stuttering, sounding amazingly… non-French.

*Staaaaare*
“…What happened to your accent?”
Did her overwhelming love for him cure her of it? Perfected her English? Amazing the things love could do.

Hope looked out at the lake and surveyed her surroundings. All seemed at peace...for now. It was Hogwarts after all. Still, she could help but hope that things would turn out just fine this term she slowly drifted off into a cloud of her own thoughts. Quidditch (or lack of it). Homework. Classwork. Poppy. Candy. Books. Meh.

....was that her name being called? She looked down and there was a familiar head that caused her lips to curve upward. Let's be honest...she was a little smitten with the Slytherin that stood under the tree before her. But she was Hope Evans and that meant she'd never even admit it to herself.

"Hiya, Caleb!" Hmmm..maybe she should move closer so she wouldn't have to shout. With a couple of swift movements she landed a couple branches lower. It felt nice to just free fall for a moment. "How was break? Care to join me?" After all she wasn't too far up. Maybe three or four branches.

Ah, so it WAS Hope up there, as Caleb had suspected. And did he want to climb a tree? Hmmm...he hadn't climbed a tree in years, but why the hell not right? He grinned and reached up, hoisting himself up onto the lowest branch and grabbing the one above him to pull himself higher. It wasn't very hard to get up to Hope's level, especially since he was taller now and had a pretty large stride now.

"Nice to be able to do stuff like this again without worrying about freezing to death, yeah?" he said with a chuckle as he sat on the branches opposite of her. "Break was...good," he added, answering her earlier question. "My sis and I had a bit of a falling out, though," he said with a shrug, acting like it wasn't a big deal despite the fact that it TOTALLY WAS.

"I'll make up the dare some other way--PROMISE."
SMORES.

Omg.

That sounded so mouth watering, so much so that Abbi even licked her lips quickly. "Can't we warm them up with our wands or something?" There had to be SOME quick acessible way, wasn't there? But then hey they still needed graham crackers. Ugh nevermind then. WISHFUL thinking. "Or maybe for another time? I rate we all sneak out and camp in the grounds one night?" YEAH?

NOD NOD. Perfect victims. Abs wore an encouraging expression to urge Eden further, but a slight frown appeared when she appeared to be disappointed. "Really? Come on, Edeeeeen! It's not that mean!" Oh well, Abbi still ended up taking the marshmellow shooter from her, aimed and then shot at Kyroh and Dot.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH. She shot the previously loaded marshmallow towards them in hope she would actually hit them.

"Yeah yeah. YOU BETTER. SHHH, though. Can't have them immediately know it was us, can we?" Time to be all NINJA, Eden.

Eden HATED not being able to perform a perfectly fine DARE, but she did NOT want to tick off new people here. Well, SHE was the new person, but the same thing!

"Oh. maybe. Hmm. Professor Romanos seemed to be a fan of s'mores. We should totally be brown-nosers and bring her some." You know, when they DID figure out how to make some. She grinned cheekily and winked. It was beneficial to get on the professors' good sides, right? And plus, Romanos had seemed SO nice.

OMG. EDEN LOVED CAMPING. She got all BOUNCY just at the mention of it. "WE SHOULD TOTALLY CAMP OUT YES ABBI! Let's DO it!" she smiled and grabbed the girl's shoulders(notcrazyNOPE) and just SHOOK her excitedly. "You're a GENIUS!" Really. Were all Gryffindors SMART? She felt like they were secretly very smart. And stuff.

GAAHHH.

She was flailing and covering her MOUTH to keep from laughing as Abbi shot the marshmallows at them--OH MY. She couldn't help it, though--she burst into laughter and quickly shoved her face in her sweater. GOSH. It was just so FUNNY.

Ian looked like a kicked puppy when Justine, quite suddenly, snatched away her earlier gift and left his neck bare, without the warmth of her beautiful tanned hands. She always knew how to leave him wanting more.

He raised an eyebrow when she began stuttering, sounding amazingly… non-French.

*Staaaaare*
“…What happened to your accent?”
Did her overwhelming love for him cure her of it? Perfected her English? Amazing the things love could do.

Those puppy dog eyes would have no effect on Justine, nope, definitely not, Justine had perfected that look, had practically invented it and she would not be lured into kindness by such an old trick. “Don’t touch me again.” Justine said, flipping back her hair with her remaining clean hand. The other felt almost diseased; she would need bleach, or dragon’s blood to rid herself of Ian’s germs.

“…What happened to your accent?”
“W-what?” Justine blinked. Oh Merlin’s underpants, her accent, she was using her real accent: The boy had actually annoyed the fake French right out of her. “I don’t know vat you mean, ‘ale… You must be more delusional zan I zought.” Justine said, effortlessly picking the accent back up, hoping quietly that Ian was dense enough to go along with her.

Idiotic prat.

Craptastic. Chance's mood had a dark cloud over it. He headed to the Lake, a frown on his face. If you knew Chance, you would know that this wasn't his normal face. His normal face was full of smiles. Chance was always happy-go-lucky. Even when he had gotten rejected multiple times by the same girl.

So, what was up with him today?

Kicking rocks out of the way as he made his way to the lake, Chance found a tree. He looked at the tree. It was just a simple tree. Nothing fantastic about it.

Chance hit the tree. As hard as he could. Chance didnt even grimace in pain as his knuckle were torn open from the bark on the tree and the impact he had made with said bark.

Chance's eyes filled with tears and he hit the tree again. The tree had never hurt him. But, instead of hurting other people that Chance liked, he would take his emotions out on this tree.

Except, the tree was winning.

Chance's knuckles were bloody, scrapped, and ripped open. Chance kept pounding the tree though. His face didn't mask any pain. Instead, it was emotionless. The only emotion that could be seen was a restless stream of tears flowing down his face.

This was not the usual Chance.

"I'm not eating bark," Dot pulled herself up a bit to eye the tree dubiously. No bark for her. "And if we want Gilligan to like us, I'm pretty sure we shouldn't eat him." Just a thought. Being nibbled always made Dot cross, and she wasn't even a tree.

She latched an arm around the tree and tried to scoot up into a seated position. "Have you ever climbed a tree before? D'you do it often?" Because standing at the bottom of a tree, wiggling your fingers at the branches, didn't seem the way to go.

"Oh." He hadn't thought about Gilligan not liking them if they ate him. That made sense. Kyroh nodded eagerly. "Then i'm not eating bark either." Did that mean they'd eat nothing? Uhoh. They couldn't be stuck here and just eat nothing at all.

"Nope! this is my first time ever!" Didn't Dot know? Oops. Anyways, he thought he did pretty WELL! Almost all by himself too. "I figure if I do it a few more times I'll be an expert.....if we can get down now of course."

SMORES.

Kyroh wiggled a little bit, because tree branches were actually NOT that comfy at all. And just when he was starting to get some feeling back in his butt something fluffy and white instantly smacked him in the face.

It was SOFT but if he was not sitting with his back against the trunk the second year probably would have fall off from shock alone."We're being attacked Dot!!" He didn't know by WHO or with what or- hey. Spotting a white thing nearby he grinned. "GILLIAN IS FEEDING US MARSHMALLOWS!" Man, they had the best tree friend ever. Now their hunger problem was SLOVED.

He was so focused on the marshmallow he didn't even notice the laughter below.

Ah, so it WAS Hope up there, as Caleb had suspected. And did he want to climb a tree? Hmmm...he hadn't climbed a tree in years, but why the hell not right? He grinned and reached up, hoisting himself up onto the lowest branch and grabbing the one above him to pull himself higher. It wasn't very hard to get up to Hope's level, especially since he was taller now and had a pretty large stride now.

"Nice to be able to do stuff like this again without worrying about freezing to death, yeah?" he said with a chuckle as he sat on the branches opposite of her. "Break was...good," he added, answering her earlier question. "My sis and I had a bit of a falling out, though," he said with a shrug, acting like it wasn't a big deal despite the fact that it TOTALLY WAS.

Hope beamed as he joined her up in the low hanging branches laughed. "Yeah, it is. I never thought I'd get to see the outdoors again." At least nothing outside of the frozen wasteland. She leaned back against the trunk and looked out over the lake listening to Caleb talk. She watched his shrug out of the corner of her eye and shook her head. So many responses tapped danced their way across her mind but none of them sounded right. "Well, if you ever need an outside perspective you've got me." That was the best she could offer....

"My break was...exciting." Was that a good word for it. She shrugged and very nonchalantly said, "I found out some seriously shocking news." No biggy. Nothing too AMAZING...or was it? She shrugged again. and ran her hand through her dark locks. CHANGE OF TOPIC! "So, what is the second thing you're going to do with our new found freedom?" She was considering the first thing joining her in the tree!

"HAHA!" Zahra cackled to herself. She had just dug a giant hole, like at least 3 meters across, maybe a couple meters deep. "WOOT," she called out as she jumped down into it, landing like a BOSS in her digger boots her brother had sent her. "COME ON DINOSAUR BONES."

Oh crap. She left her DIGGING tools OUTSIDE the hole. Boo. So Zahra started climbing out of her hole...

A few many trees away from the lake, where Paloma hang upside down from a branch, trying to think of how to complete some of her school assignments, and also about the upcoming holiday season already planned agenda...

Wait...That was irrelevant.

The moment she opened her eyes again, ready to put herself on feet and head back to the castle, Paloma noticed a girl jumping into a hole, but then climbing out of it. Being dragged by curiousity, she jumped down from the tree and slowly approached the area where the girl was. "Ummmmmmm...." She stopped herself, hoping she wouldn't mumble and look dumb when she asked her the important questions...

"...hi, I saw you...from that tree, and...you were crawling out of the hole, and...what is this for?" Too late, she mumbled. Still, she was a few meters away, in case the girl didn't want to talk about her plans. Besides, Paloma didn't want to look too nosy.

.... a Ravenclaw. Zahra had to admit, she was immediately on guard. She kind of wanted to spread out and protect her AWESOME HOLE from the judgement of the Ravenclaw. But maybe this one, this one she'd seen around a few times, wasn't.... so bad? MAYBE.

Zahra had retrieved her digging tools from TOPSIDE and had already hopped back down into her hole. "THIS is a hole for digging. I'm looking for dinosaurs. Dead sea monsters. Ancient dead stuff." ...... okay? "You can help if you want."

Paloma took a few more steps back at the reaction the girl had and raised her eyebrow. Really, what was wrong with asking? Once she had hopped back into the hole, Paloma walked closer to the hole and looked down as she spoke.

She nodded at every statement, considering that it could be true that there were many dead things, that the place was ancient as far as no one really could tell. Surprised by her invitation to help her, she beamed. "And have you found anything? Because in that case....do you need some light?" She asked, searching into her bag for those glow in the dark sticks she had gotten in those crazy concerts her cousin took her during the summer.

AHA. Taking just one of the sticks out, she decided to wait for the girl's response. Again, she had to make sure she wasn't being so invasive, nosy.

"Oh no. Not yet. I don't REALLY have a CLUE what I'm doing. But I'm pretty good at digging holes and I figure you gotta start somewhere?" And if Zahra didn't find anything, at least she had this epic hole. "My brother is a digging person. Curse breakery type thing." Just so this Claw didn't think she was TOTALLY crazy for digging holes.

Mostly Zahra was getting tired of hearing she was crazy. She wasn't crazy. She was just digging a hole.

WHAT WAS THAT. GLOW STICKS. "COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Bring those down! We could dig for worms if all else fails."

Again, Paloma nodded. The girl had a point, everybody started somewhere. Those archeologist had to really dig in deep their backyards or some park around their house to be who they were, and well...there was the concept. "OH, he works for the Ministry, then?" Totally cool, being skilled in that curse breaking business, digging around...

Paloma chuckled as the girl replied at the sight of the glowing sticks. "Ummm, I'll throw one to you, and I will join in a sec." She said, doing so, though looking down at her shoes. They were her pretty almost-ballerina shoes.

But...oh, she could fix them! Without any more hesitation, she made sure that she'd land safely to where the girl was, and seconds later, she was standing next to her, cracking the glow stick so it could work again. "By the way, I'm...Paloma." She had to introduce herself, so the other girl would do the same, and they'd be not so strangers anymore.

OH YEAH! COOL. GLOW STICK. How wicked must you be to just carry around SPARE GLOW STICKS? ..... Cool Claw was cool and joining her in her hole, too. COOL.

"SUP Paloma!" Sounded like llama. Llama. hehehe llama. "I'm Zahra. Here you go," the Ravenclaw got handed a SPIKEY TOOL that Z wasn't sure how to use, but it was part of the digging kit, so there you go Paloma. Meanwhile, the glowstick went behind Z's ear and went searching for a fossilized merperson or something cool like that.

Wind blowing her red hair about her face, Lux made her way slowly over to the big tree by the lake. Winter was coming, and soon everything would be covered by snow and ice. But for now it was pretty with all the leaves changing colour.

Sighing, she plopped herself on the grass leaning back against the tree's trunk. It was a lazy day and a good time for her to get some reading done. She had found a new series to read and hopefully she would like it. Reaching into her bag, she pulled the book out and opened it to the page she had left off on.

Under normal circumstances, Andrew wouldn't be sulking like he was. Then again, that goes for most people. Hopefully, at least. Andrew was usually such a cheerful fellow, and especially at this time of year, but something had been bugging him for a long time. Something he just couldn't get off his mind.

Disappointment gnawed at him. He had so hoped a walk in the crisp air would distract him, but alas, it only made things worse. Trudging through the leaves towards the big tree by the lake, he spied a familiar redhead and gave her a wave. With the sight of her, a twinge of hope flickered in his heart. Lux was always cheery! How could she not help bring his mood up.

"I certainly hope I'm not disturbing, Lux." He forced a smile as he approached.

Paloma let out a quiet chuckle as the girl spoke. Family out there sure had a difficult way to be explained. "That's gotta be interesting, that you have family in the Ministry...and what your brother does for work..." Her dad worked at some kind of liason from Spain, and since she didn't really know what he did there.

"Nice to meet you, Zahra.." She let out the usual Spanish accent with the Z sound, like the 'th'. Taking the tool that she gave her, looked at it and blinked. She had no idea on how to dig. Maybe she had to do research on archeological things now, which wasn't going to be bad after all. "So, how long have you been...digging this hole?" She asked, brushing the dirt with her fingers and the unknown tool trying to find something.

Because she guessed, and Zahra was sure that they could find something cool to look at, find out about...whee.

"Well, it's alright, I guess. Having the MINISTER as your DAD sure doesn't deter these professors from docking my points or giving me detention," PHEW FOR REAL. In fact, Zahra was in trouble more than most ANYONE she knew. She could hardly breathe in class and not get in trouble it seemed.

BUT ANYWAY. It was alright. "My OTHER brother he lives like right over there!" Like right there in Hogsmeade, what! "HE came back to this area with Bunbury did. They're like this weird thing." Her brother and the Headmistress. Yeah. Weird.

DIGGING! THen Z was using her glowstick to dig. THen she was sitting down 'cause man, she had been digging for a WHILE and she was pretty tired. ".... a while, to be honest. I'll probably get in trouble for it, too haha!"

At the mention of her brother and the Headmistress, Paloma blinked again. Well, her brother must be old enough to have a relationship? with someone as the Headmistress, right? "So, they're...dating...or what?" Sure, she had to ask, her head was curious thanks to Zahra. And natural instinct, but....this family talk was interesting by itself.

Get in trouble?!

Paloma started to cough, because those kind of nerves killed her, those of getting in trouble with some authority. "Do you...think someone would actually come here? Like, would the Groundskeeper be roaming around there and could see us...?" She had to just find an assurance that this could not go wrong. Whist her preocupation, she kept digging, even faster, then she hit something...

a stick.

with a handle.

One sentence in, and someone was already calling for her attention. That made Lux laugh inwardly and she didn't mind being disturbed in the least. Looking up, she was pleased to see Andrew. It had been a while since they had last spoken, and a catch up was needed.

But why did he look sad? There was a smile on his face, but his eyes... They told her how he was really feeling. "You aren't disturbing me. What's wrong? Do you need hugs?" After closing her book she patted the ground with her hand, waiting for him to sit beside her.

Well, that was quick.

Andrew had barely even approached the tree and Lux had already seen through his fake smile. Perhaps he wasn't as good an actor as he thought he was, or maybe Lux just had a knack for knowing when someone needed her help. Either way, Andrew had been discovered. "I, er.. I guess a hug couldn't hurt." He said quietly after a short pause.

He leaned his back against the tree and slowly let himself slide down to a sitting position. His characteristically classy sweater vest, blue and bronze tie, and freshly pressed trousers had no place sitting against the grass under a tree, but then again, Andy didn't own any clothes that couldn't be described as "too fancy for any occasion". He turned his head towards Lux and opened his arms.

Toby wasn't sure how long he'd have the sun for now, so he'd need to work quickly. He'd already scooped up all of his things and hurried around the lake to a new location, one where he'd be able to get a good angle of sunlight. Now reaching the tree by the lake, he placed the destroyed parts of that last planet in a little pile with all his other things at the base of the trunk, and grabbed that last bag of planet powder.

"Fingere Elementi!" the Hufflepuff cast, jabbing his wand at the bag in his hand for a third and final time that day. Once more the bag floated and rippled and expanded and changed before his eyes, before - POP! - the last planet had formed. "Locomotor Planet." Like with the last one, Toby used his wand to direct the planet a little ways away, though this time slightly closer to the ground.

With his planet now hovering about two feet off the ground, Toby picked the magnifying glass attachment and tucked it into his pocket, along with his wand. Without further ado, he clambered up the tree and up onto a very precisely chosen branch. This probably wasn't the smartest idea, as he had a very very breakable wand and wand attachment in his pockets, but this seemed not to cross his mind.

From his perch on the branch, Toby fixed the magnifying glass attachment onto his wand, just like they'd done in class wayyyyyyyyyyy back in his second year. He swished the wand about for a moment, getting a feel for the change in weight and balance, before glancing behind him and back to his planet floating down there above the ground. From this position, he was in between the planet and the direction that the sun hung in the sky, which was exactly what he needed.

But Toby really needed to hurry, because the clouds looked like they were going to move over it again any minute now. Without even a second of hesitation, Toby placed his wand between his teeth for safekeeping, held onto the branch with both hands, and slipped down so he was dangling below it. This, THIS, would get him the best angle, and a safe distance from the danger zone, too. Toby grabbed his wand and, now dangling from the tree by just one hand, made sure the angle was as good as he could get it.

"Solis Focalis!" Toby sent the concentrated ray of sun STRAIGHT at the planet. It hit it dead on, but didn't really do much. But that was okay, because in that one class, it took a couple of hits to destroy those wax wings. So he kept going. "Solis Focalis! Solis Focalis! Solis Focalis!"

It was working, slowly but surely, as though the planet was getting assaulted with a LASER BEAM or maybe even like the SUN was EXPANDING, which would be totally like this. Yep. Cracks started to appear all over it, along with scorch marks and the odd smoke emission. Again and again he cast the spell, until it finally looked like a few more hits would finish it off.

The sky started to darken again, and Toby glanced behind him (with some difficulty, as he was obviously still dangling from the tree); the sun was quickly becoming obscured by grey clouds, and the Hufflepuff was unsure if he'd get a chance to finish this once that happened. There was just one thing for it. He looked back at his planet, and just went for it.

"Solis Focalis Maxima!"

WHUH-PSHHH!

THAT had done it, which was lucky, because Tobias hadn't known if it was a spell that would work or not. The force of the spell made him swing precariously from the branch, and he quickly grabbed for it with his wand hand, too. There. Totally safe.

Down on the ground, Toby's final planet was now nothing but smithereens, a smouldering pile of jagged rock and ashes on the floor where it had been floating moments before.

"Neat!" came Toby's gleeful yell, and he let go of the branch with both hands, deciding that the quick way down would also be the most fun way down. He hit the ground hard, causing weird shocks to shoot up through both his legs, but apparently didn't care. Hurrying over to his ex-planet, Toby was thrilled to see that it had, in fact, worked perfectly.

Because he was conscientious of the ENVIRONMENT (and maybe because he also wanted to keep the pieces of this planet too), Toby picked up as much of the debris as he could. Once he'd picked up his other belongings from the base of the tree, he turned and headed straight back for the castle, hoping to return the magnifying glass attachment to Airey while the man was still in his office.

Her dad. The Minister? "Whoa. But yeah, feel you on that. My mom was my teacher in Muggle school, so I just had to really be a good girl...most of the times." Yes, she was no goody-goody, but she had to behave in order to get what she wanted, keep on going to her ballet lessons.

At the mention of her brother and the Headmistress, Paloma blinked again. Well, her brother must be old enough to have a relationship? with someone as the Headmistress, right? "So, they're...dating...or what?" Sure, she had to ask, her head was curious thanks to Zahra. And natural instinct, but....this family talk was interesting by itself.

Get in trouble?!

Paloma started to cough, because those kind of nerves killed her, those of getting in trouble with some authority. "Do you...think someone would actually come here? Like, would the Groundskeeper be roaming around there and could see us...?" She had to just find an assurance that this could not go wrong. Whist her preocupation, she kept digging, even faster, then she hit something...

a stick.

with a handle.

Was it....?

Ohhhh so P-loma was muggle-y. Cool, cool. Muggles could be cool. Zahra didn't know like any, but you know. Z was DIGGING with her glowstick now, butt in the dirt, boots dug into a mound.

HUH? PLYMOUTH AND BUNZ? HAHAHA "noooooooo. No. See, okay, story time. ONCE UPON A TIME the Headmistress used to teach HERBOLOGY here. Like when my brother was here. She was his favorite teacher or something. Then she left and went to teach at some big to do University in Cairo, and my brother went there TOO, and when she came back to Hogwarts, well," Zahra pointed at Hogsmeade. Her brother had too. "I'm not close with any of the Professors like that. Are you?"

SHRUG. She didn't know if anyone would come. Zahra didnt' care really either. What was a little trouble anyway? Every day occurrence for her.

Well, that was quick.

Andrew had barely even approached the tree and Lux had already seen through his fake smile. Perhaps he wasn't as good an actor as he thought he was, or maybe Lux just had a knack for knowing when someone needed her help. Either way, Andrew had been discovered. "I, er.. I guess a hug couldn't hurt." He said quietly after a short pause.

He leaned his back against the tree and slowly let himself slide down to a sitting position. His characteristically classy sweater vest, blue and bronze tie, and freshly pressed trousers had no place sitting against the grass under a tree, but then again, Andy didn't own any clothes that couldn't be described as "too fancy for any occasion". He turned his head towards Lux and opened his arms.

She was pleased that he wasn't opposed to joining her for a hug. Some people weren't very fond of hugging, though even they seemed to be all for Lux hugs. Her hugs were like magic.

Moving towards Andrew, she put her arms around him. "What's wrong?" Hopefully it wasn't serious. It wasn't nice to see people sad. She especially disliked it when Bay was sad or upset.

Hope beamed as he joined her up in the low hanging branches laughed. "Yeah, it is. I never thought I'd get to see the outdoors again." At least nothing outside of the frozen wasteland. She leaned back against the trunk and looked out over the lake listening to Caleb talk. She watched his shrug out of the corner of her eye and shook her head. So many responses tapped danced their way across her mind but none of them sounded right. "Well, if you ever need an outside perspective you've got me." That was the best she could offer....

"My break was...exciting." Was that a good word for it. She shrugged and very nonchalantly said, "I found out some seriously shocking news." No biggy. Nothing too AMAZING...or was it? She shrugged again. and ran her hand through her dark locks. CHANGE OF TOPIC! "So, what is the second thing you're going to do with our new found freedom?" She was considering the first thing joining her in the tree!

Caleb was listening to her talk, nodding politely as one did when listening to stories, when suddenly, he stopped and wrinkled his eyebrows at her. "Did you dye your hair?" he asked suddenly. THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION! If she had and he'd gone this whole conversation not noticing...wow, he was stupid. Then again, girls always changed their hair and expected boys to notice if like, an inch was cut off, so she REALLY shouldn't be too mad.

"Wait, what? You can't just say that and then NOT go into details!" Caleb said when she said she'd heard some shocking news. He settled himself better into the tree and grinned. "Ok, if you tell me what shocking news you heard, I'll tell you about my sister drama," he told her, making a deal. Hopefully that'd be enough to entice her to talk - because now he was being nosy and HAD TO KNOW.

Austin walked a bit, the blonde first year still over his shoulder. He decide to walk his way to a nearby tree, one he had used many times last term. Anytime the girl called out to him to put her down, he only responded with a chuckle, loving how he had won. If only for the time being. Although he knew he would win the smirk war that was going on between the two, because his smirk was the best out there. Although he'll allow Ophie to have the second place spot. She would like that wouldn't she? Of course.

"You okay there Blondie?" He said with another laugh.

Was she okay? She grumbled from her spot on his shoulder, annoyed that he had lifted her. Ophelia didn't mind the placement --shhhh, he was cuute- but the fact that he picked her up caused the gripe. Nope, nope nope, she was not to be lifted, than you very much. Maybe this guy got a once in a while pass, but other than that, the first year much liked walking on her own. Much more fun. And rewarding.

"I'll know if I'm okay when you put me down, smirky!" She started laughing too, though that didn't stop her from kicking a little --making sure not to hit his chest-- and attempting to tame the curtain of annoying blonde hair that was kind of falling everywhere. Oh yeah, he was getting it now. The shorter girl had all of her fighting power ready. She may be short and young, be Ophelia was a feisty thing. And just so happened to be flirting a little. Okay, maybe flirting a lot. Whatever.

"And you only get to call me Blondie if I get to call you something!" Another smirk, this time with an eye raised. He wanted to play it like that? Well the Ravenclaw was learning the game too. The game of sass and flirting and having fun while being carried like a child who was tired.

Also, didn't he say something about killing a sick horse a while back? Should the child look into that?

After venturing to the kitchen fireplace, he decided the next best way to get rid of a planet was with the great outdoors. This was going to be fun. After reaching the perfect spot outside, he set his things down on the ground. Why? 'Cause he was here to collect some rocks!! Hehehe.

The Gryffindor searched all over and collected some in all different sizes. Some were much bigger, while others were merely pebbles. But soon enough he had at least fifteen of them sitting in a pile right near his bag. Perfect. Adding the last rock to the pile, he reached into his bag and grabbed both his wand and the next sandbag. Casting a quick "Fingere Elementi," and quickly jabbing the bag, he waited for the POP! and smiled to himself. Perfect.

Setting the planet on the ground, he pointed his wand at one of the rocks, "Locomotor Rock!" SWWWWIIIINNNNNNNGGGG right at the planet! And again, "Locomotor rock!" And again. And again. And again. Soon enough the poor planet was starting to disintegrate as rocks went flying at it from every direction. And not before long, the poor little planet was just a poor little pile of dust.

Ah, it was so young.

Ohhhh so P-loma was muggle-y. Cool, cool. Muggles could be cool. Zahra didn't know like any, but you know. Z was DIGGING with her glowstick now, butt in the dirt, boots dug into a mound.

SHRUG. She didn't know if anyone would come. Zahra didnt' care really either. What was a little trouble anyway? Every day occurrence for her.

At this point of the digging expedition, Paloma didn't care anymore about the mud on her shoes, her jeans nor her sweater. It was surely fun, and nice from Zahra to be sharing that with her. She noticed how she was sort of getting tired of digging too, so she stopped for a few seconds and looked at Zahra when she shared the story.

Goody, Pal loved stories. And even more if they weren't assumptions that she made from the context she was told before. Clearing out her throat, and probably looking like a tomato because of embarrassment, she nodded. "Wow. Well, first of all, sorry for thinking that, and second...nope. I like to keep the relationship as it should be, teacher to student. I have plenty personal time with my coaches as it is to keep adding it here..." She wasn't fond of sharing her life with the teachers either...

With a sigh, and really really hoping no one would show up there, to yell at them for digging a hole. "Ummmmm...I can't remember....if the Moon and shore gravity thing applies here too..." It was just that one more thing that was worrying her.

Zahra laughed as she tossed a handful of dirt up like confetti. "No it's cool. Plymouth probably DID hit on the Headmistress. Mum calls him a loverrrrrr." SNORT. "But yeah, yeah. If I HAD to choose a Professor to be bff with it'd be Thompson, I think." Yeah, yeah definitely Thompson.

What.

What was this Claw going on about. School work? Gravity? Aw man, was she mumbling about Astronomy? "Err................. no? Haha that'd be funny. This would be a MUD HOLE then. We could .... hey.... that's a GREAT idea! We aren't finding any bones, we should fill this hole with water and have a MUD HOLE." WHY NOT.

Giggle!Chuckle!Snort. Her brother sounded like Paloma's cousin, Emiliano. He wasn't married yet, though engaged now, but back in the days, Paloma knew that he wouldn't hesitate on hit on one of the lady professors. But totally irrelevant. "Thompson. Care of Magical Creatures, right?" There were so many professors that, well...Paloma could barely make a good face to name connection, even after a year..."And why is that...?" About being friends with the professor. She was just curious.

Nodding, she took a deep breath and continued digging, though she was still sitting. Maybe at her sitting height, they'd be able to find something. "And slowly, well...this mud hole would disappear, and there'd be no evidence of this work." Although she kinda hoped they really could find something.

Zahra was getting up now, poking the walls of her hole. Few rocks, few roots, no bones of ancient pirates or merpeople. "Yeah yeah. Mr. Creatures. He's just.... like you can talk to him and he'll listen. I got a GNOME stuck in my shirt last year and he didn't even deduct points." SO yeah, he was Zahra's go-to for Professor help.

She was considering this mud hole thing still. "See... this is why you need a Ravenclaw friend. Here I am, thinking about how I'm going cannonball into the hole -- and you're THINKING,' Zahra tapped her head," about how keep us out of trouble. Smarts, smarts. You got the smarts, Ravenclaw! I think I'll keep you."

"What a peaceful place," Samantha thought as she sat down underneath the tree, the back of her head leaning softly against the trunk. Samantha closed her eyes as she thought about the task at hand. The leaves rustled above her head as she slowly fluttered her eyes open. She looked up and found herself taking a photo. She inspected the photo and discovered she had taken a photo of a leaf falling from one of the tree branches.

Tapping the middle of the photo, Sam said, "Alacer!" The photo now showed the leaf cascading down towards the ground.

Also, didn't he say something about killing a sick horse a while back? Should the child look into that?

The second year glanced back, making sure she was okay. He really did care whether or not she was fine. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable. She was a cute Blondie, and in all honesty (although he would never admit it allowed) she was one of the very few people who could compete with his sassiness.

What was happening now? She was kicking him? Oh that was it, cute no more. Putting her on her feet again, he put his hands on his hips and dramatically leaned on one leg. "Excuse you, where you kicking me?" He said it in a way that sounded both offended and accusatory. He really wasn't that offended, obviously. She was smaller than him, and couldn't really do much damage. "Do you know what happens to those who kick the King?" He smirked and raised an eyebrow. Oh yea, she was going to get it.

He crossed his arms. "Call me what you want, but you're Blondie to me." He winked. He hoped that she could actually come up with a decent enough nickname. Blondie was an amazing nickname, and he was proud of himself for figuring it out himself. There was nothing she could call him that would be better than him calling her Blondie. But he liked this Blonde first year. She was a feisty one, that was for sure, but she was cute. A lot of fighting power though. She could take down an entire Quidditch team with just one remark, and he was loving that.

Oh, was she OFFENDING him? The little blonde chuckled a bit, stumbling a little as she shifted her weight from hip to hip. Yeah, if he didn't pick her up, none of that would've happened. Sorry, not sorry.

Also, who was really dramatic? Um, apparently him. Not that Ophelia minded of course, as there was a dramatically sassy thing going on that made her want to laugh and twirl and just giggle. Or maybe that was the flirting. Being eleven was complicated. Shut up. Anyway, dramatic and sassy and all around fun. Yeah, that was just fantastic. No really! She was actually having a lot of fun.

"Well, YOUR ROYAL HIGHNESS, what would you do if I was just kicking you?" Dramatic bow and a little smile for effect. And they were both gonna pretend that the blonde didn't start blushing a little. Darn cheeks. A little giggle escaped the first years throat and she covered her mouth with her hand slightly. Ophelia didn't giggle. That just didn't happen.

"And, sir sass, YOU happen to be looking at the TRUE queen of sass right here." The brown eyed girl walked around him in a circle, her arms playfully folded across her chest. See how he liked that. "And as queen, I demand to be taken with a little more respect." Was she taking this too far? Because Ophelia felt like she was taking this too far. A small gulp escaped her throat, and it took a bit of work to push it back in. She was gonna hve to play it by ear.

And about that nickname thing, she actually LIKED blondie. No one else called her that. It was special. Her sibling's nicknames mostly ranged from 'pest' or shorty, this guy's nickname was actually considerate to what SHE wanted. But the eleven year old didn't have a nickname for him yet. There was too much to work with here.

"Well, let's see." He put his hand on his chin, and made a pondering look. "For kicking The King the punishment would call for some tickling." He looked at her with an eyebrow raised. He hoped that she wouldn't mind the tickling. Some people really didn't liked to be touched or tickled, and he wanted to respect that. Even if she was a sassy little first year.

"Oh Queen are you? Well, my apologies your highness." And a nice bow for the lady. He decided to play along, although he will always be the King of Sass. Maybe she could be the Queen of blonde first years. He stood back up and crosses his arms. Although he might still tickle her, just for fun. Even Queens were allowed to have fun.

[B]"Or maybe you're an Evil Queen. Which would mean that there would be extra punishment for kicking The Actual King of Sass."

"Tickling?" She smiled and paused, as if to take a moment of thought. Then, with a sly smile, Ophelia nodded. Her blonde waves bounced around her face and the first year sighed and pulled her hair into a loose ponytail. She was really getting obsessed with those, wasn't she? It was the little hairs that came out and created weird, bang like things that made it REALLY adroable.

"Well, it would be a fitting punishment." A pause for effect. The first year looked down at her slightly dirty fingernails and raise her eyebrows. Again, she was walking around the boy, a wide circle. Oh yeah, she just didn't become master of sass, the child became a master of intimidation too. Except, not really. It was ahrd to be intimidating when you were this cute. Anyway, she was going to say something. "For an EVIL queen like myself. Suprised you haven't figured it out yourself, Mr. King." Licking her lips, Ophelia quickly replaced that with another smile.

"And what punishment IS befitting an evil mastermind like myself? Sent to the stockade? No supper? More tickling?" A giggle. Was she playing this too far? How did flirting work? Because this child didn't know, like at all. This was literally her best guess. And he seemed to like the sassy side of her, so that was something she was going to do. Be sassy. Because that was already Ophelia, and part of Ophelia WAS sassy. He just brought it out more.

Also, ACTUAL king of sass? Was he being serious? Because she could do something with this. Something adorable. Like she was already. Of course, Ophelia was adorable. That was non-negotiable.

"So, Mr. King." A curtsy in his favor. "That's your new nickname, actually. Mr. King. " A smirk. "Where are we going next?"

Austin watched with a smile as she walked around him, her hair in a tail thing. He couldn't remember what it was called. Wait, didn't that have to do with horses too? Anyways, her walking around him would be intimidating... if she were six feet tall and had beefy muscles. But she was a small, adorable, blonde girl who had hair that made her face even more adorable. How was that possible? She must have had some sort of girl magic.

"Well, for an EVIL Queen who kicked The King, would be thrown into the lake." He paused and glanced over to the still lake, not too far away. It was probably freezing, and although throwing her in the lake was something he really wanted to do, it would probably mean their trip was going to be cut short. That wasn't something he wanted at all. He liked this girl, probably more than he let on, and he wanted to spend his time getting to know her. "But I wouldn't want to ruin that pretty hair of yours." Did water ruin girls hair? "So instead, you'll just have to follow me around so that I can be sure you don't ruin my kingdom." That wasn't really a punishment, but he was positive he could scare her enough to where he would get his payback.

Hmm, Mr. King... He liked it. He put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest. "Mr. King it is!" He was loving this King thing. Because he was the king of everything, and it was nice to be noticed for once! "Well, Blondie, where would you like to explore? Or is the darkness too much for you?"

Austin watched with a smile as she walked around him, her hair in a tail thing. He couldn't remember what it was called. Wait, didn't that have to do with horses too? Anyways, her walking around him would be intimidating... if she were six feet tall and had beefy muscles. But she was a small, adorable, blonde girl who had hair that made her face even more adorable. How was that possible? She must have had some sort of girl magic.

"Well, for an EVIL Queen who kicked The King, would be thrown into the lake." He paused and glanced over to the still lake, not too far away. It was probably freezing, and although throwing her in the lake was something he really wanted to do, it would probably mean their trip was going to be cut short. That wasn't something he wanted at all. He liked this girl, probably more than he let on, and he wanted to spend his time getting to know her. "But I wouldn't want to ruin that pretty hair of yours." Did water ruin girls hair? "So instead, you'll just have to follow me around so that I can be sure you don't ruin my kingdom." That wasn't really a punishment, but he was positive he could scare her enough to where he would get his payback.

Hmm, Mr. King... He liked it. He put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest. "Mr. King it is!" He was loving this King thing. Because he was the king of everything, and it was nice to be noticed for once! "Well, Blondie, where would you like to explore? Or is the darkness too much for you?"

Her...
Hair?

Okay, was that a sign of something? Or was Ophelia reading too far into this. No one EVER complimented her hair! Though they had good reason. The blonde had a habit of not running a comb through it in the morning, and after running around in the woods all day, things got a little messy. So yes, with other perfectly perfect brothers and sisters and their disgustingly perfect hair, hers was not on the radar unless it involved pleas to brush it or demands that she crack and at least let Newton run a comb through it. So this was why she was so flustered. It was kind of a weak spot with her.

The eleven year old couldn't tell if he was being sassy or not anymore. Evil boys! She wouldn't let a second year out sass her. Even if it meant that she had to trip over her own feet to find something to say. And she would have to stop glancing up at his blue, blue, very blue eyes every few seconds, because THAT certainly wasn't helping. Ophelia needed something to say. And she needed it quick.

"I-I bet you say that to all of the cute girls." What was the first year doing? Why was she stumbling through her words? Was this the effect boys would have with her this young? Gaaahhh, she could wait a thousand years to ACTUALLY start dating if this would be what it would be like all of the time. This was a lot of pressure. On her heart and everything. Regain composure. Regain composure.

"And as for following you around? Would that make me your co-ruler?" A wink to show she was joking. And, feeling a prickling feeling coursing in her veins, Ophelia decided to take this further. Not much, but milk it for all it was worth. Her hair was apparently pretty and Mr. King over there seemed to be in an incredible jovial mood. So why not?

"Hello, my royal subjects hello." She smiled and gestured a hello out to the lake, laughing a little in case he thought she had gone crazy. The youngest Clarke child was sane, honest. Just a little quirky. Or was the correct word eccentric? How did you pick the word for that anyway?

"I am pleased to announce that your KING here...." Gesture to him to get him to play along... "has selected ME as co-ruler. I'll let him explain whatever else he wants to address." And she bowed and stepped back, laughing slightly at everything that was going on. This was awwwweeesooomme. First he complimented her hair, and then he talked about her following him around, which was completely yes. Just yes. That was all it was. No other adjective worked here.

"And, Mr. King, the darkness is no match for me. I guess you can say, I'm pretty intimidating." And with that, she ran her hand over her robe and blew on her fingernails like she was showing off. Because why act normal around a boy when you could act like an obnoxious five year old? At least that's what she was in her head.

Was she... flustered by his compliment? Did that mean she liked him? Wait... was she flirting with him this whole time? Austin looked down at her, half confused, half amused. It dawned on him that maybe she was flirting with him. Maybe she liked him? No... That couldn't be it. But he thought otherwise as she continued to look at him, and look away. That was a thing girls did when they crushed on a guy... right? He was so confused. His confusion ended when she spoke up. That was definitely something girls say when they liked a guy. He'd seen the muggle movies.

"Nah, only to you." He said with a wink. This girl was something else. One minutes she's nervous and stumbling over her words, and the next she's bowing to an invisible audience. He decided to play along.

He turned to the invisible audience and put his hands up in defense. "Yes, yes, I know it may come as a shock to all of you. But it is true, the Evil Queen has become my co-ruler. This way, she will be under my protection and care, and therefore do no harm to any of you." He gestured over to Blondie, still addressing the lake/invisible audience. "If I find that there are to be any attempts on her life, you'll be facing nothing but the stocks!" He chuckled, and bowed, to signify to the invisible people that he had nothing left to say.

Turning to his new co-ruler, he smiled. "Intimidating you say?" He moved closer to her, and leaned towards her, so their noses were inches apart. He gave her his most intimidating stare and crooked smile. "I think you'll find the most intimidating person here, is your King."

¨Only to me? Well then I must be the luckiest girl in Hogwarts, getting complimented by our King." She smirked and tilted her head to the left, undoing her blonde ponytail and allowing the waves to fall around her shoulders. Since they weren't doing any exploring right now, the done up hair was not needed. Not that not exploring was boring. This was nice. Little back and forth, Mr. King and the evil Queen. It was like a really, really bad book title. And it made for a cute story.

Gulp. He was right in front of her. Nose to nose. Face to face. Crystal blue eyes to her brown ones. Gulp. Okay, did he know what he was doing to her? Because if he did, this was just cruel, and if he didn't, then he was oblivious as they came. How loud was her heart pounding exactly? Because Ophelia swore she could hear it beat in her head. It was like a steady thump playing mercilessly through her ears. And though it was impossible for him to actually HEAR her true heartbeat, it sounded like a ridiculous dance beat.

Another gulp. This wasn't exactly fair, you know. But if they were playing unfair, she could certainly retaliate. Giving her best smirk, the first year pulled a section of hair over her shoulder and started running her right hand through it. He seemed to like her hair. And since he kept making her gulp, it was time to turn up the heat. He wouldn't win this one. She wouldn't allow it.

¨As the EVIL queen, I suppose it would only be right for me to cause mischief, correct? But as an apparently non intimidating child, I have to start small.¨ No were words were said before she reached up and ruffled his black hair, effectively messing it up. The stove top was officially turned on. And walking up to him again, the eleven year old tried to show that she was fierce and tough by going nose to nose with him again, So close that if she were to look up to see his eyes, Ophelia would bump into his chin. Your move, Mr. King. Your move.

Caleb was listening to her talk, nodding politely as one did when listening to stories, when suddenly, he stopped and wrinkled his eyebrows at her. "Did you dye your hair?" he asked suddenly. THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT QUESTION! If she had and he'd gone this whole conversation not noticing...wow, he was stupid. Then again, girls always changed their hair and expected boys to notice if like, an inch was cut off, so she REALLY shouldn't be too mad.

"Wait, what? You can't just say that and then NOT go into details!" Caleb said when she said she'd heard some shocking news. He settled himself better into the tree and grinned. "Ok, if you tell me what shocking news you heard, I'll tell you about my sister drama," he told her, making a deal. Hopefully that'd be enough to entice her to talk - because now he was being nosy and HAD TO KNOW.

Hope blushed. "Yeah, I did." She wasn't so high maintenance like most girls. That fact that Caleb even noticed was just a shock because she had anticipated him NOT noticing. She didn't care if he noticed, but it was...nice. "I just needed a change. A BIG change." One that was so big it was small. "It doesn't look bad, does it?"

"Deal!" She hadn't wanted to right out ask him about his problems with his sister, but now, NOW, they could share!!! Taking a big deep breath she looked down and chewed on her lower lip. "So, while on break I found out..." OH! It was so hard for her to say it. It just seemed so...not real. "I'm adopted." Meh...more detail. "My family and I got into a fight over something so small and I shouted some mean things. Things like 'I wish you weren't my parents' and my dad said, and this is really funny, 'Wish granted. Your adopted'."

She looked up at him and gave a soft chuckle. "I didn't know what to believe. My mom started crying and my dad just...lost it." There it was out. She had said it. "My birth mother...I think I know who she is. It's just...I need her to confirm it." And silence fell.

"Your turn!" She snuggled up into her own seat and batted her lashes in an innocent way. "SO! Why are you and Sophie fighting?" She had met her once, the twin, and she was MEAN so really, they could be fighting over anything, right? "It's not over a boy or girl is it?" Because that would be two things. One: Lame and Two: Not cool. She didn't know where these feelings were coming from, but she had so many different FEELS about Caleb, it wasn't her. It was like she was....crushing.

"No, it looks good! Really good," Caleb assured her. He had just been shocked is all...after all, one second he was talking to her, and the next second BAM! NEW HAIR! So yeah he was like obligated to ask otherwise he would never be able to get over it and focus on the conversation. He was actually proud of himself - he'd noticed a girl's HAIR and that was a victory for men everywhere!

WHOA. That was some pretty heavy stuff. Caleb couldn't even imagine finding out that he was adopted - and in such an overly mean way too. His uncle had sort of gone through that...finding out his dad wasn't really his dad and all. "Wow, that's...crazy. I'm sorry, but at least you kind of have an idea of who your real mom is? That's more than some adopted people can say," he said. He was trying to cheer her up...and he hoped it was working. He wasn't exactly sure what to say in a situation like this.

Oh, it was his turn! Ok, maybe Hope really wanted to get away from that convo. His fight with Sophie seemed so...STUPID in comparison now. "Well, I dunno if you keep up with gossip around the school but...Grayson Whitlock and Sophie are like...a THING. Kind of. I guess. I dunno, I got mad at him because he always looks at her like a piece of meat and says the RUDEST things to her and she can do better, but we got in a huge fight over it and now we aren't talking and it's dumb but I'm just looking out for her, you know?" he explained in a rush. He blushed and now he felt so silly - Hope's problems were like, LEGIT, and his were...childish.

Andrew wrapped his arms around Lux and squeezed her tightly. Resting his chin on her shoulder, he shook his head at her question. Lux hugs were always a sure fire way to feel better, but this wasn't something he could talk about. Not yet at least.

"Lux, I.. I don't think I can talk about it. I don't think I'm ready." He whispered.. His voice was shaky and burdened, and his breaths were short and quick as he spoke. He wasn't sure how to convey to her how serious he was, but he hoped she'd understand. Right now, he desperately needed something to distract him from his woes.

Hopefully The hug was working, though Lux couldn't be too sure since Andrew seemed disinclined to talk about what was wrong. But then she realized that he could be feeling better but just not want to talk about the issue.

"It's fine, we don't have to talk about it." Nod. There were other things to do and discuss. Patting his back gently, she hoped that he would feel better soon because seeing him this way made her sad for him.

"Don't know if I've ever told you, Lux, just how much I appreciate you." Andrew said quietly, his forced smile slowly becoming more sincere. There really wasn't any way for him to tell her how much it meant to him that she was there for him and willing to help him through this difficult time, even though she didn't even know what was wrong!

"Thank you." He smiled at the girl beside him. He understood now more than ever just how lucky he was to have friends like her.

She still needed a few more pictures. It was cold, but she still would rather be OUT HERE than stuffed in the castle. Ugh. Plus, she looked cute with her cheeks all flushed from the wind and such. HEH.

Eden plopped down by the tree and eyed the people around her--hmm. People seemed happy today. It was a nice atmosphere to be a part of, yeah? She wished it was hot enough for her to kick her shoes off and stuff--but she didn't want to catch a cold. Or something worse. So she just stayed all curled up and reached to get the camera from her bag. The lake was rippling just slightly from the light wind, and the noises were calming to the Ravenclaw. That would be a relaxing picture to have. She would take a few for her Mam so that when she went home for break she could show her mother ALL of Hogwarts...hehe ^__^

She held it up to her face and waited to find a great angle to take a picture at. HMMM. She finally settled on a piece of the lake that had the AWESOME mountainous background---SNAP.

The picture spit out and Eden, as usual, waited for it to dry. Once it was, though, she slipped her wand from her bag and got ready. NO teeth chatters THIS time, either, because it wasn't the drafty dumb Dungeons. NOPE.

"ALACER!" she cried, and she grinned broadly as the picture of the lake came to life. AH. It was so PRETTY. Maybe Professor Fuller would hang it somewhere. OH WAIT. They were keeping these. OOps. She quickly turned it over and procured her quill from her bag----

"Professor Fuller---you can keep this one because it's nice and relaxing. Plus it might look nice in your office. -Eden."

Was that weird to write? Oh well. She was trying this 'be nice to the teachers" thing. She began to pack up her stuff to head back to her common room where DAISY would be waiting for her.

Tyler was bored out of his mind, he honestly didn't see how Ravenclaws could sit in the castle all day reading, he didn't get it. His mind else where, he walked out of the Hufflepuff common room his feet knowing where they wanted to go, he didn't know where he was going but he didn't care as long as it was out of the castle. Stopping off in the kitchen to get some hot chocolate before heading outside, his feet leading him once again to his favorite spot by the lake. Flopping down underneath the tree, he looked to see that this wasn't only his favorite spot, it was loved by many Hogwarts students. Getting his journal out of his book bag he started writing in it, as girly as it was, Tyler kept a journal to write out his thoughts and feelings.

Although he was teased by his brothers for doing so, but Tyler didn't care, he thought it was a great way to express himself on paper. Tyler didn't have many friends, not since he just moved here from America at the beginning of the term, he still wasn't used to the big castle of Hogwarts. There was various times that Tyler gotten lost around the place and felt like a confused first year at first, but he knew his way around the castle now. It was different than his school in Salem, his school in Salem was a all boys school for Wizards, he went to Salem Wizards Institute. Although it was big, it wasn't as big as Hogwarts was, that was for sure. Did he miss Salem? Not really, of course he misses his friends and all that, but he didn't really miss the school.

Besides he wanted to come to Hogwarts the start with, but his parents moved to America when he was a kid so he started his first four years at Salem Wizards Institute. Although his parents were offered there jobs back here and better money, his parents moved back to London. Tired of being dragged around like a rag doll by his parents, Tyler stayed with his grandparents and lived there up to now. Although no one knew that, it was a bit of a secret he had, besides no one wanted to be friends with the freaky Hufflepuff kid that transferred here from Salem.

This was a good spot.

Why?

Because nothing was MOVING out here. He didn't care about how serene it looked -- even if it was pretty relaxing to look at -- but he did care about the fact that his picture was BOUND to come out looking better than some of his other attempts. He was dead sure of it. And he had a funny feeling that he wouldn't have to wait that long either.

The only hard thing NOW was trying to find the right spot. Because he wanted to include the actual tree but it hid too much of the background if he stood here. But if he stood a little over towards the right and angled things differently, not enough of the tree could be seen. It was hard. This whole homework was kinda hard, especially for someone who didn't care too much about photographs that weren't group photos or selfies.

Finally, when he had gotten just enough of both the tree and the background, Grayson held up his camera and..........

CLICK!

The picture came out and the Slytherin, taking it, shook it around to get it to dry faster. He was a little excited to see how this one would turn out. The actual picture looked a little boring, frankly, but if people were into the landscape kinda pictures, they were bound to like this one. Besides, it'd look MUCH better once he got it moving sooo....... "Alacer!" TAP right in the middle of the picture.

Was it even moving?

Oh! YES. Look, there were the waves from the lake and the gentle swaying of the branches in the foreground. Brilliant.

Satisfied, he moved ON.

She had been so busy with classes and homework lately that she hadn’t had a time to check her little fairies habitat out. When she finally made it to her destination and sat down leaning against the tree by the lake she sighed.

Relaxing somewhat in the cold winter air.

This was nice.

Now, reaching into her bag she pulled out the jar and sighed as she spotted how much of a mess it really was. “Hello Cai,” she grinned at the teal haired fairy and then turned to her pink haired friend. “Hello Nimue” she spoke to her Arthurian named fairy friends.

“I have to clean your home now” she told them as she carefully unscrewed the lid and watched the two little fairies shifting and floating their way toward the top of the jar. Moving her finger to the opening she let them climb onto it. “I have to make you immobile now, so I don’t lose you” she told them a somewhat unbiased kindness to her voice. Something that wasn’t usually the case with the normally closed off Gryffindor.

“Immobulus” she cast and watched as they froze perching on her fingertip. Moving her other hand she carefully set them on the rock beside her as she began to clean their house. “Scourgify” she cast and cleaned the gunk off of the outside edges of the walls. “Aguamenti” she cast again and the jar filled with water, so much water. But it needed that. She banished the water and then quickly scourged the jar once more and watched as it sparkled. Reaching down she carefully placed the little moss covered rock and the fairies into the jar. Not before casting a quick sticking charm to the rock, after all they needed something nice in their jar didn’t they?

He blushed and now he felt so silly - Hope's problems were like, LEGIT, and his were...childish.

Hope beamed and let her hands fall into her lap. "Thanks. I was really hoping it would look good." She looked down at her hands and then back at him. "It's not permanent though. It was really hard to do honestly. It's like my hair was fighting to change colors. Could be something magical though." She shrugged and tolled her eyes.

She sighed and stared out past Caleb just looking at nothing in particular. "She's Heather Malfoy. She went to this school and everything. She even played professional Quidditch before she vanished into thin air." She looked back at him and her eyes stung a bit...had Hope Evans ever cried? It didn't seem like it. She had been cold and hard her first year and softened enough to be nice her second year, but no, she had never openly cried. She was too strong for that. "I just want to know why she didn't want me. But how do you confront someone with that kind of stuff without falling apart and how do you not let your fears just eat your heart up and swallow it whole?" Oh! She was emotional. This was a new thing for her. "Sorry. I know that's a lot I probably shouldn't have said." She looked up trying to hold back all the tears that wear choking her.

Oh! It was a boy! She took a deep breath and looked back at him and gave him a eye roll with a warm smile. "I think you're right." It was as simple as that. "I mean...you're doing your brotherly duty and you observe something that concerned you and spoke up. If your sister doesn't want to listen to you let her make her own mistakes. She'll learn in the long run." She sounded older....maybe she should become and advice giver. "Give it time. You two will make up." Hmmm? "Are you dating?" WHERE DID THAT COME FROM??

Zahra was getting up now, poking the walls of her hole. Few rocks, few roots, no bones of ancient pirates or merpeople. "Yeah yeah. Mr. Creatures. He's just.... like you can talk to him and he'll listen. I got a GNOME stuck in my shirt last year and he didn't even deduct points." SO yeah, he was Zahra's go-to for Professor help.

She was considering this mud hole thing still. "See... this is why you need a Ravenclaw friend. Here I am, thinking about how I'm going cannonball into the hole -- and you're THINKING,' Zahra tapped her head," about how keep us out of trouble. Smarts, smarts. You got the smarts, Ravenclaw! I think I'll keep you."

Paloma chuckled as Zahra described how cool Mr. Creatures would be. Maybe, just maybe she could just...take a peek at his office and greet him, or when she could have some doubts about the assignments, she could ask? Endless weird excuses, she thought.

WHAT?

Zarah was going to take her suggestion.

"I....I....just like, thought we could save ourselves the trip to the Headmistress Office...." She nodded, trying to concentrate on whether she wanted to crawl out of there, or actually stay. All because it was getting a bit too dark for the glowsticks to keep glowing as they used to when they were cracked hours ago. "Uhhhh...." She didn't have to say anything, but only point to the sky and hope the night didn't catch them.

Or worse...a big bad wolf.

Ahh outdoors...it was a nice change from the stuffy library or the overcrowded common room. Walking up to the tree that always reminded him of the weird picture mum had he sat down and tried to make himself comfortable. Book in one hand, bottle of water in another. He could make an afternoon of it yet! Stretching his legs out he sighed and leaned back against the tree trunk.

It was a rather cold day (not surprising since it was winter), but Lux had decided to take a walk by the lake and get some fresh air. Sometimes being stuck in the castle bored her, and she hadn't been able to find Bay anywhere.

Spotting a familiar face made her smile. It was Lucas' brother and she hadn't seen him for a while. Since he was reading a book, she decided to surprise him. Standing over him, she said, "BOO!"

James tugged on his jacket a little to make himself more comfortable and looked at the book. A part of him reaaaaaaaaaaaally didn't want to read since it was school work. Why couldn't his homework be to read comic books? Those were much more entertaining. Sighing he opened up the book and began to read but was failing as every little thing seemed to be catching his eye and distracting him. There should be a class on the art of distraction he'd probably get high marks.

James was in the middle of a page when he saw a shadow fall over his book and thinking it was Zoe he smirked. He looked up and grinned widely when he saw it was Lux. "Well, well, well. What brings you out of the castle into the cold?" he said standing up and giving her a hug. "I know don't tell me...my ruggedly good looks," he teased and held his hand out to help her sit down ont he precarious roots.

Boo, her attempt to surprise him had failed. Maybe she needed more practice. Shrugging it off, Lux hugged James back. "I got tired of being cooped up. What about you?" Laughing at his comment, she took his hand and sat down. It was nice of him to help her since it wouldn't have been nice to stumble and hurt herself.

"Oh yeah. I just couldn't resist you," she teased before winking at him. Honestly, she could see why girls might find him attractive, but he wasn't her type. Her type was her boyfriend.

"About the same really. Too stuffy, too crowded and of course attempting to hide from Lucas before he sucks me into one of his not well thought out schemes." James sat down beside her and placed his book next to him. "Thought I'd come here to read but I don't really want to," he laughed and looked out at the lake.

James gave Lux a smirk and shook his head, "I sense the sarcasm...it hurts deeply," he teased and kicked at a rock. "Did you have a good break?" he asked realizing he couldn't remember the last time they had talked....he really did need to get out of that tower more.

It wasn't surprising that James wanted to escape from the castle since a lot of people probably felt that way from time to time. What was surprising was the comment about Lucas. "What schemes are these you speak of? He hasn't mentioned them to me as far as I know." This could be rather interesting and it was in her nature to be rather curious, so she wanted to know details on one her her best friends and his brother would be a great source. "I hear you about not wanting to read. I feel like throwing my textbooks into the lake with the amount of work we've been getting." She was a hard-working girl, but at that very moment she was tired and wanted a break since she had been working on her Ancient Runes homework and that was never one of her best classes. ...Though she DID have a lot of fun pretending to be one of the daughters from The Little Mermaid, so that was always a plus. Could Botros be King Triton more often?

The sarcasm comment made her laugh and pat him on the shoulder. "I hope you can forgive me for breaking your heart." He really was a funny boy and she enjoyed talking to him. "Oh, yes! It was nice. I love Hogwarts, but a bit of a holiday from it is always nice. How was yours?"

James looked at her and shrugged, "He's always up to something. Usually involving me getting in trouble and him no where to be found. Last time he wanted to go explore the castle after hours." To be fair though he hadn't really seen his brother in awhile...he was a little worried to be honest but figured it had mostly to do with the fact he spent most of his time in the library and not with his brother. James laughed at the concept of throwing the book in the lake and looked at it contemplating.... "If I didn't actually like the class I might try that." But as it stands he did and who knew he might use the book again someday.

Oh now she was being patronizing. Hmph. "Well now...I don't know if you can break a heart you don't hold," he said cheekily. "How is the boyfriend anyway?" How was his holiday....good question... "Nothing exciting really. Came home, got gifts, ate food, came back." The end. How depressing.

This new Lucas development took Lux by surprise. She could not imagine Lucas doing things that would get his brother into trouble, though the last plan caused her to laugh. "That is so Gryffindor of him." It was rather endearing in her eyes, but then she was rather biased towards the Lions. Aaah, so he liked the class. Made sense. She herself liked most of the subjects she took, though there were some exceptions like Transfiguration. "What's the book about?" she asked curiously.

His cheeky comment caused her to laugh some more. "That is very true. You are a very profound Ravenclaw." An honest statement, not a dig. James seemed to be rather fitting for his House; witty and perceptive. "He is good just very busy." Pout. And it didn't sound like he had a very exciting holiday either. "I might throw a Christmas party next term. If I do you will be invited." Parties were a lot of fun.

He smiled and gave her a chuckle as she called him profound, "Profound. I like it." Seemed better than just smart. "Sorry to hear that. I'm sure he'll get free soon." Well...unless he was avoiding her then maybe not but who was he to speak. "That'd be cool just let me know. I usually don't have any plans over the breaks." Mainly because he usually didn't want to go out. Too cold...inside was warm.

Lux had to snort at the annoying comment. Personally she could never picture Lucas as being annoying. More like he was sweet and adorable. "Siblings really can be something else." She loved hers, but sometimes they drove her nuts. "I love Muggle Studies! And learning about photography was a lot of fun. I think the lesson we made pizza was one of my favourites. Me and Bay made ours pepperoni." Just the thought of pizza was making her really hungry.

Hehe. "It really suits you, James the Profound." Okay, that probably sounded really lame but it wasn't as if that had to be his nickname or anything. Maybe she could come up with something a lot better than that. "In a few months he is going to Graduate and then we will have summer before I go back to school again." Three terms without him. "Awesome! I will definitely let you know! It will be such an awesome Christmas!"

Zander was out by the tree resting, but mostly waiting for Kace. They had divination homework to complete! Of course.... It was hardly any homework at all. The Gryffindor wasn't complaining or anything because it seemed easy enough, but there was no snow white anywhere. This was ridiculous and much like that Sebastian hunt that Botros was going on about earlier in the term. What was going on with the Professors these days?!

Except Zander knew EXACTLY what was going on with this particular professor. It was his fault. It was because of that stupid love potion he took. Professor Morgan didn't even have any of it!! It just completely backfired and set her all crazy and stuff. It wasn't even fair!! Not like Zander even wanted that to happen.

So he was going to save her. He'd taken it into his own and everything. Except, he had to do the homework because house points, but otherwise he'd be making up a plan to save Professor Morgan and all of Hogwarts. Just like he was supposed to do last term. Anyways, uh Snow White? You here?... Even though he was supposed to go looking with Kace, he thought he'd just look around by the tree until the Hufflepuff arrived. Shouldn't be too long till he got there, Zander had come down a little early.

Kace got an owl from Zander to tell him to meet him here. They were gonna do the Divination Homework. Apparently the professor wanted them to go find Snow White. This shouldn't be too hard, they just needed to go in the woods and find the seven dwarfs. A little fairytale humor right there. He chuckled to himself and as he walked down he saw Zander looking around by the tree. He called out, "You find Snow White by the tree?" he asked curiously. But he knew this mission would need three people. "So I invited Puck to join us since she needed a partner and I thought the more people the merrier." he shrugged. Now all they had to do was wait for Puck.

She had arrived, still she hightly doubted that they would find anything for the Professor. She was absolutely loopy, loopier than Flamsteed had been almost…almost. “Hey Kace” she grinned as she joined the group by the tree. “Hi Zander” she nodded and glanced at the tree.

“You ugh…find her yet?” She asked and glanced around as really Snow White was probably in the forest in some cottage safe and sound…or you know that’s where she would have been if she wasn’t a figment of Professor Crazypant’s imagination.

Zander was still looking aimlessly around the tree. If Snow White was anywhere to be seen she probably wasn't hiding around out here. Or at least that what Zander thought because it was kind of chilly today. But who knew, maybe her name was Snow because she liked cold weather or something.... Picking his head up at the sound of Kace's voice, Zander returned the question with a shake of his head, "Nope, no luck yet..." Maybe Professor Morgan wanted a literal pile of white snow? ... Professors could be tricky like that.

Anyways, Puck was gonna join? Uh, okay! She seemed nice enough anyways. Zander hadn't really had the chance to talk to her all that much but uh... She gave him a Valentines day card and that was really nice of her, besides maybe Puck would know where Snow was hiding around because they were both girls. And don't girls think the same or something? Girl code, right? And before he could say anything more than, "Oh, okay sure," the girl had arrived. Well that was quick!! Good thing too because they might as well start with the search party.

He waved to her as she walked over and shook his head to her question too. Nope. Still nothing. "No... Nothing yet.." Taking his eyes off the two, he looked around the grassy areas and... "Uh, where should we start looking?"

Dylan was BORED. So, today he had decided to go wander about the grounds, maybe find a friend to talk to. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his hoodie and exited the castle and soon found himself at the tree near the lake, the one he always visited ever since he came here. He sighed and he slumped down against it, staring out at the water. It was so still and calm today, which made it really pretty. He smiled and sighed, looking around himself for someone to talk to. He was in quite a talkative, friendly mood today!

Norah had been skipping across the grounds when she came to a halt in front of her favorite tree by the lake....and SOMEBODY was sitting by it! AHEM. The second year hugged her herbology book tighter to her chest as she marched towards the boy. Hiii, person. He didn't look too unpleasant, what was there to lose? Norah decided against shooing him away and instead slid down to sit against the tree a foot or two away. She opened her book, glancing at the boy before slamming it shut. He looked like he wanted to talk to someone, and she certainly wasn't against talking. And anyways, Norah was almost sure he was a fellow Puffer, so she held out a hand and said, "Hey there, I'm Norah." And who are youuuu?

“Drat, I was hoping she was just in some tree” she laughed and glanced at the tree they were milling around. “You know she could be in the forest but think of it, this area probably all used to be forest land? Could she not just be in some shack?” She asked and glanced over toward the forbidden forest. The only cottage like thing she knew about was that shrieking ramshackle shack.

“I mean, I’ve read the Snow White tales…and well…there was always a shack-like-cottage in the stories” she threw out there and shrugged her shoulder. “Anyone know of cottages around the campus?” She asked and glanced at the two boys before she stopped and turned her head in the direction of the groundskeeper’s hut. “Guys, the groundskeeper his house it’s a hut huts…and cottages kind of can look alike right?” She asked and grinned. “Maybe snow white and her seven little dorks are in there?” She offered. Well, maybe she just wanted to sneak into the grounds keepers hut and look around.

Kace laughed with Puck and wished that too. "Yeah something tells me it wouldn't be that easy.." he commented. Kace took Puck's suggestion and thought about it. "Hmm that could be a possibility....what do you think Zander?" he asked his friend. I mean two heads were better than one right? Kace heard Puck's explanation about the Snow White tales she has heard about. It did make logical sense. She could be in a shack like cottage. Then she pointed to the groundskeeper hut and Kace's eyes went wide...

O____O.....

IT WAS A PERFECT PLACE! Kace smiled and thought they finally solved the clue. "Yeah that is perfect! Let's check there!" he said pointing to the hut. He looked at the ground for any footprints but he saw too many from other students that it was impossible to do so.

As Kace was waiting for Puck just in the nick of time she was here. "Hey Puck.." he greeted him friend with a charming smile. "Yeah like Zander said we had no luck yet.." he shrugged looking around. He heard Zander's question and wondered where Snow White could be hiding. "Well let's think like the fairy tale for a minute.." he spitballed this idea. "Like Snow White usually lives in the woods right? I mean she lives with the seven dwarfs in a house in the woods. Do you think she could be in the forbidden forest?" he asked pointing towards the forest across the lake. I mean it was a logical idea right?

He waited for what his friends thoughts were on his idea. It could be crazy or it might work.“Drat, I was hoping she was just in some tree” she laughed and glanced at the tree they were milling around. “You know she could be in the forest but think of it, this area probably all used to be forest land?

The Gryffindor nodded quietly at Kace's suggestion for the forbidden forrest, although in his mind that option seemed pretty unlikely. Not that it wasn't a good suggestion or anything, but mostly because the forbidden forrest was-well- forbidden. Professor Morgan wouldn't have them go search around in there just for homework no matter how crazy she was feeling. So when Puck threw out another idea, he was quick to jump on that one instead.

"The Groundskeeper's hut..." he repeated, reflecting on the idea a little. That was actually sort of... BRILLIANT! "Yeah maybe Snow White is hanging out there!" His next suggestion would have been the greenhouses to go pick fruit or something, but Zander was definitely not going to bring anything up that had anything to do with Herbology. Where there were plants, there was also an evil in the form of Professor Walton. So maybe the hut would be the best place to start.

Yeah. They'd go there. That was a good start.

Dylan heard footsteps coming and he glanced to see a girl sit near him, and he recognized her from around the school. He was about to say hello when he noticed she looked occupied with her book. Letting out a small sigh, he turned to look at the lake again. It was too bad he hadn't brought his art supplies, it looked nice to draw today-

Oh! The girl was talking to him now! Perhaps she had gotten bored with her book? He turned to her and smiled, scooting closer and shaking her hand. "Hey, Norah," he said as they shook hands. "Nice to meet you. I'm Dylan." he smiled again at her and leaned back against the tree. "So, you're in Hufflepuff, right?" Because he felt as if he'd seen her around the common room before...

Kace was glad everyone agreed with the idea. "Then let's go!" he said and began walking to the groundskeeper hut. As he approached the hut and noticed the lights were on, it was a good start. "Hmm seems like someone is home.." he said pointing to the lights on in the hut. "Do you think Snow White could be in there or just exploring the perimeter of this place?" he asked his fellow companions. I mean if Kace was Snow White and she was on the run from the Queen she wouldn't want to be found easily. She would probably try to make it as hard as possible.

What? They liked her idea? She was half joking really though. "Wait are you serious? You actually think she'll be there?" She offered and then paused. "Wait, you remember how Sebastien was a doll?" She asked the two grinning.

"Why don't we just conjure a little doll, maybe...put some mud on it to make it look like it was hiding in the forest?" She offered grinning, "and then bring it to Professor Morgan and tell her that we had found the doll in the tree. What? She was thinking cunningly as a way to possibly get extra points and all of that...and so they didn't have to barge into some man's home and possibly see him taking a bath...though really that could be interesting.
The Gryffindor was getting ready to follow Kace over when the Hufflepuff asked the question. Huh? How the heck was Zander supposed to know where this Snow White person was. If she even really existed because wasn't that the name of a fairy tale? Honestly something about this search just didn't add up. Then, when Puck spoke up, Zander turned to her instead. Huuuh? So she didn't think the girl would be in the hut? But it was Puck's idea in the first place how come she was suddenly-- Wait, what?

What did any of this have to do with Sebastien? The thing from Botros' class? Did Puck really think there was a connection between the two...? Actually, come to think of it... Botros was acting pretty strange then too, just like Professor Morgan. And maybe this doll thing was worth a shot, considering how Zander highly doubted that they'd actually find a Snow White around the castle. Especially not now that the weather was warming up. Ha. Jokes. Anyways...

"We could try to transfigure a stick into the doll or something?" he suggested as he picked a stick off the ground and held it in the air for inspection. It looked like a pretty good twig to him? But erm, one problem... "Do, uh, either of you know how to do that?"

She offered grinning, "and then bring it to Professor Morgan and tell her that we had found the doll in the tree. What? She was thinking cunningly as a way to possibly get extra points and all of that...and so they didn't have to barge into some man's home and possibly see him taking a bath...though really that could be interesting.

The Gryffindor was getting ready to follow Kace over when the Hufflepuff asked the question. Huh? How the heck was Zander supposed to know where this Snow White person was. If she even really existed because wasn't that the name of a fairy tale? Honestly something about this search just didn't add up. Then, when Puck spoke up, Zander turned to her instead. Huuuh? So she didn't think the girl would be in the hut? But it was Puck's idea in the first place how come she was suddenly-- Wait, what?

What did any of this have to do with Sebastien? The thing from Botros' class? Did Puck really think there was a connection between the two...? Actually, come to think of it... Botros was acting pretty strange then too, just like Professor Morgan. And maybe this doll thing was worth a shot, considering how Zander highly doubted that they'd actually find a Snow White around the castle. Especially not now that the weather was warming up. Ha. Jokes. Anyways...

"We could try to transfigure a stick into the doll or something?" he suggested as he picked a stick off the ground and held it in the air for inspection. It looked like a pretty good twig to him? But erm, one problem... "Do, uh, either of you know how to do that?"

Kace was listening to both of her ideas and he remembered the doll Sebastian roughly. "Wait who was Sebastian again?" he just needed a memory refresher. He heard Zander's suggestion and Kace had no idea how to transfigure a doll from a stick. "Ermm sorry mate, I do not know how. I haven't learned that yet in lessons, maybee Puck knows?" he asked gesturing to her. I mean maybe she could create it since she was the mastermind behind the idea.

Were they joking? Did she look like a Ravenclaw? “I don’t know how to do that” she admitted with a laugh “I’m not a Ravenclaw” she laughed paused and laughed a bit more. “That’s what the sorting hat told me,” she laughed and grinned to the two boys. THE HAT WAS RIGHT!

With a flick of her wand though she summoned some twine that she had in her trunk and grabbed another stick. She grabbed some other things off of the grounds, nuts, leaves, more twigs and connected it together with the twine and sticking charms. “Does this (http://i1138.photobucket.com/albums/n522/McFeisty/SSRPG%20Stuff/DSC_00772-266x400-1_zps7d7e6bd6.jpg) work?” She asked holding up the little creation.

Zander's face fell when both of them admitted to not knowing how to make the doll. Welp. There goes their homework. Not a Ravenclaw? Yeah, Zander wasn't one either evidently. Though, he did think that there were times when-- No, just no.

But then, Puck started doing things with nuts and leaves and other twigs and just what the heck?! "It's... It's perfect!" Heh. It was actually pretty presentable too. Probably not what the Professor had in mind, but it was worth a shot anyways. "So then, I guess we're done..?"

It was a pretty cold March day, but Ariel was wanting to head into the lake so she could search for treasure. Maybe there was a ship under the water that she could explore because sometimes she missed doing that. Her daddy had ruined most of her treasure collection, but she wanted to start a new one. She wished Flounder was there, but he was missing and there was no Scuttle around to tell her what things were the way he used to.

She had worn something that she thought the humans called a bathing suit under her human clothes, and seeing a tree by the water she decided that was a good spot to leave her clothes. She'd still be able to breathe underwater, right?

Shrugging it off, she took off her human clothes so that she was only in her bathing suit.

Bay had a feeling he'd find Lux down near the lake.. or outside.. and what was she doing… walking towards he he saw that she was now in a bathing suit… it was cool out.. not warm enough for this.. finally reaching her he spoke "errrr…. its really not that warm out.. " it wasn't a good greeting but he was just speechless for words… He took a seat next to her pile of things as the sun was nice and bright he lifted his head… still wondering what she was doing...

Hearing Bay, Lux blinked and looked towards him. How long had he been there? She hadn't heard him arrive. "Okay, teach me how to be so quiet because I could use it to sneak up on people." And yes, he would be one of those people.

And he was probably wondering what she was doing out in her swim suit. "I wanted to try sunbathing. Maybe not the best idea at this time of year." She snorted before sitting down by him.

It was a Saturday afteroon, and Tyler was bored out of his mind thinking of what to do with his spare time. As crazy as it seems, Tyler was already done with his homework seeing how he had nothing to else to do. Looking at the ceiling Tyler started drawing things with firey sparks that came out of his wand. "Ugh... I'm going crazy!"Tyler thought himself as he gotten up from his bed and grabbed his Hufflepuff robe and scarf before heading out. It was getting colder, and the wind gotten nipy during the coruses of the day, Tyler found that out the hard way last week.*

Walking down the sloping lawn of Hogwarts School of of Witchcraft and Wizardly Tyler headed down towards the lake. After a few minutes he finally reached the lake and smiled happily as he sat underneath the tree. As the giant squid came up for a minute before going back down. "Must be horrible people throwing rocks at you, but then again I was picked on at my old school for being British! "said Tyler softly but honestly. It was true, Tyler might have went to a school in America due to his parents moving due to America paying them better, but Tyler was born and raised in London until he was at the age of ten. He was glad to be back home where he belonged, not that Salem wasn't nice, he just felt that he didn't belong there.

Tyler wondered what it would have been like if he spent the first three years here instead in America at Salem Wizards Institute, surely he knew that it would have been different. For starters the castle was huge, he still gotten lost at times, but he was learning. Another thing there were girls, something that he wasn't quite used to, seeing how he went to a all boys school. Tyler petted his black kitten that was resting on his shoulder, as it purred in his ear making Tyler laugh. "You silly little kitty!" Tyler told his kitten before he petted it.

As he bumped into the girl his kitten fell off his shoulder as Tyler caught him in his hand as he hissed at the thought of being off Tyler's shoulder. " Hey you, enough with that, can't you see that she's already upset? " Tyler asked his kitten as he placed him back on his shoulder. Sorry about him, he's usually very nice, must have woken him up early when he didn't want to be woke up! said Tyler chuckling. " As for you bumping into me, it's ok, I know what's it's like to have alot on your mind. said Tyler honestly. " Oh so rude of me, I'm Tyler, Tyler Lockwood fourth year Hufflepuff!

"Abby that's a pretty name, means father's joy in Hebrew!"said Tyler softly but honestly. Tyler was a bit of a history buff, he loved studying different things, so he knew meanings behind people's names even his own. Um... I'm sorry if this sounds nosy or intruding, but are you ok?"Tyler asked her softly but curiously. "I mean you don't look like you're ok, not meaning to sound rude but you look like you might faint in two seconds! " said Tyler pointly.

Abby half smiled at Tyler and said "Yeah i am fine just dealing with some personal problems and i don't know if i am going to faint or not" To tell the truth Abby hadn't been eating much lately and she was going to faint but she wasnt wanting to faint on a boy that she had just met.

Tyler nodded, he had a feeling that their was something that she wasn't telling him, but he didn't push the issue. "Oh I understand, I came from Salem Wizards Institute in America, a bit weird coming here when I was suppose to be here the start with! " said Tyler sighing. "I sometimes wonder what it would have been like if I spent the first three years here instead of in Salem." said Tyler softly but honestly. Um...sorry you didn't need to hear that, I just met you and I'm already telling you half my life history! " said Tyler sighing. As Tyler's cat crawled off his shoulder he sat on Tyler's lap as he nuzzled Abby's hand wanting to be petted. [B]"He wants you to pet him, he loves to be petted, you can pet him if you like.

Tyler gave her a small smile. " His name is oddly enough Salem, I got him before my parents transferred back to London due to their jobs! " said Tyler simply. "It's hard being here you know?

Tyler bit his lip in thought. "Well...as I mentioned before, it's a castle to where Salem is more like a muggle private school campus. " said Tyler. "We went home every day due to our school being right there, so it's a bit different now that I stay here through out the school year besides on Holidays and I can choose to stay or go home. "said Tyler honestly. "So it's a bit different and it's taking me some time to get used to, but I'm slowly getting there!" said Tyler smiling.

Was he falling for Abby? he possibly was, but he couldn't help himself, she was just so shy and mysterious but at the same time fiery and wild.

Tyler chuckled and smiled at her. " Yeah you look at me and you can tell that I'm a bad boy, at least that's what I heard. " said Tyler shrugging.

Abby laughed and said "Another thing you will probably notice about me is sometimes i do have my head stuck in a book which is one thing i love to is read and i do lose my temper if somebody intrudes on my reading" Abby couldnt help but smile cause she did give Angel a row for intruding on her reading time

Tyler laughed. " Well... remind me to never bug you while you're reading! "said Tyler before smiling at her. " I love reading as well, despite me being a bad boy, I do love curling up by the fire on cold days reading a book. "said Tyler softly but honestly. " I guess that's the sweet and goofy side of me talking, but I read Hogwarts the History, fascinating book! "said Tyler. " I also read muggle books as well, I love mystery books. "said Tyler. Tyler looked into her eyes before he found himself leaning in, as he did he softly kissed her on the lips. Realizing what he did, his eyes widened in horror. "Um...sorry Abbs, I don't know what came over me."said Tyler softly but honestly.

Abby wasn't the only one who was blushing, Tyler was blushing so hard that the cold nippy weather didn't seem to be bothering anymore. "I'm not going to lie, I liked it to, it just felt right. "said Tyler softly but honestly. " I love the Hunger Games, I read all the books but I keep on reading it over and over again, due to them being so good!"said Tyler honestly. Looking at her and smiling, Tyler kissed her once again, he didn't know why he did but he just wanted to.

Abby smiled as Tyler kissed her again and said "Yeah one series of books i can not put down they are brilliant and i just think that nothing is wrong with reading muggle books if you were brought up as a muggle" Abby was still bright red and was thinking about what she had seen in her crystal ball in divination in that first lesson was this moment what the crystal ball had been motioning towards

"I love the Hunger Games, it's also one series that I can't put down, I can read it multiple times and not get tired of it! " said Tyler softly but honestly. " I agree, I think there's nothing wrong with reading muggle books, I think everyone should to learn something. " said Tyler honestly. His parents told him that things were going to be better for him once he gotten to Hogwarts, maybe they were right, maybe things were finally looking up for him. Still blushing, he took Salem who was asleep on his lap and placed him on his shoulder as he woke up for a minute before he wrapped up in Tyler's robe as Tyler laughed.

Another giant, silver cat roamed down to the lake and drifted over toward the beech tree beside it. Noticing students nearby, the nundu opened its mouth in a lazy roar; only instead of nundu breath coming out, the patronus delivered a message in Anastasia Truebridge's voice:

Attention, anyone on the grounds: We are currently hunting down the mysterious and glowing Fairy Tale Book of Fairy Tales. If you are interested in helping, search your surroundings and then report back to the library. We MUST find this book!

Its job done, the nundu disappeared in a puff of smoke.

Chillin'. That's what Heather had been doing. Just hanging out under this here tree, enjoying being outside and away from the noisy common room. In no way had she been napping under aforementioned tree. Nope. Not her.

But something happened that made her sit up straight from her slumped position under the tree she was most definitely NOT sleeping under. A voice. One that sounded very much like the Headmistress'. Talking about a book and finding said book. "Zzzzz...*snort* Whaa-what?" Oh, what was that? A patronus? And everyone was actively looking for the stupid fairy tale book. Finally.

Heather jumped up and started searching around the tree, even looking in the branches. But she didn't see it there...

Tyler chuckled. " Yeah he does, he's usually always there, alot of my muggle neighbors don't like him because he's a black cat so they think it's bad luck!"said Tyler. " But I don't think so, I quite like black cats more than any other cat!"said Tyler softly but honestly. " Um.. I'm not very good at this, but would you like to be my girlfriend? "Tyler asked her softly but curiously. " I understand that you don't, I just like you Abby, I like you alot!"said Tyler honestly.

Andrew left his office and made his way out of the Greenhouses. He was almost sure that no book was lurking there. So he figured he'd start looking near his Greenhouses. Maybe find students who would help him do so, too. It would definitely be much more helpful if he was not doing so alone. One pair of eyes could only cover so much area.

The Herbologist's eyes scanned the area around the tree but that of course was not enough. They were looking for a mischievous book so it could be hiding. So Walton decided to scan the area closely. And just to be sure, he figured it would be helpful to ask the people who were lurking around, just in case one or two were living under some rock and still had no idea what was going on around the castle.

"Has anyone seen an old, glowing book?" He called out with a loud and composed voice. Walton didn't shout, the book once made him do so but he took no responsibility in that.

And there was a professor person. Was he supposed to lead the outdoor search party? Obviously, if what he said was any indication. "Nope, no cursed fairy tale book here......yet." Since did seem to magically appear and disappear at it's own will. "Has anyone tried Accio-ing it?" Maybe that would be quicker than simply searching all over the very large school and grounds. Unless it couldn't be summoned, in which case her suggestion was stupid and forget it.

Also, was she the only student on the grounds willing to help? Sad.

He was sure of two things, the fact that the book was not nearby and that not many cared about the book threatening the castle. Oh, except for this lady. Who was making suggestions, why did they even try? Poor hooligans.

The man fixed the girl with a look trying his best not to use sarcasm. "I am sure that occurred to everyone before setting up search parties and alarming the school," he told her.

He cast a quick look around before deciding it was enough. "Let's go to the library to meet with the others," He told her then started walking there. She wanted to come? no?

Tyler looked at her and smiled. " Indeed we do, almost like we were meant to be together! "said Tyler honestly. " I love black cats, I actually like them better than any other cat, I just like the way they look compare to others. "said Tyler simply. Tyler couldn't believe that Abby agreed to be his girlfriend, maybe his luck was changing. Maybe the last four years won't be bad here, things were already ten times better than they were at his school in Salem.

Well, he might've been trying not to sound sarcastic, but she certainly felt stupid for her suggestion. And what was with no one else even paying attention? Seriously, this stupid book had been floating around this school the whole term, messing with people's lives, memories and stuff.

Anyway, time to go back inside and into the library. Heather didn't say anything this time because what was there to say? Besides 'sorry we didn't find the book' which she felt wouldn't really be appreciated right now. Besides, it wasn't her fault.

Jasmine's search was going nowhere fast and she was running out of time. Finding a clear spot, she sat down and tried to get her thoughts together. Taking the crystal out of her pocket, she held it in her hand and stared at it. "Alright crystal, you haven't failed me so far. I really need your help." She knew knew it wasn't the crystal's fault that she had been unsuccessful. She just hadn't asked the right questions.

Then all of a sudden, Jasmine had a thought. Maybe the necklace hadn't been placed randomly after all. Maybe its location had some kind of significance. There were two places that Jasmine could think of that had some kind of significance. The first one, Professor Cassie couldn't possibly know about. Then again, she was the Divination teacher. She did have the inner eye. Jasmine rushed to her most special place by the lake and looked around. Nothing. She realized that she should have consulted the crystal first. She wasted time for nothing.

Not about to make the same mistake twice, Jasmine asked the crystal about her second possibility. Holding it up and watching it dangle, she said, "Is my necklace by the beech tree?" Bingo. That was a big fat circular yes. Jasmine broke into a run, not stopping until she reached the tree. Frantically looking around for several minutes, Jasmine finally looked up. There it was. Hanging from a low branch was her necklace. Breathing a sigh of relief, Jasmine stood on tiptoe and retrieved the necklace. Not wasting a moment, she fastened it around her neck and vowed not to take it off again. Checking her watch, she knew she'd better get a move on. Mission completed, Jasmine headed back to the castle.

After Kace came back from the great hall, he was gonna check but he spent a lot of time here. He liked to clear his mind and just look at the nature. As climbed up and managed to find a comfortable spot, he got out his crystal and was gonna the determining question. Was this trip worth something? He took a deep breath and asked, "Is my sketchbook in this treehouse?" and he concentrated and waited for a few minutes. While he was waiting he looked out at the scenery. He breathed in the fresh air and just loved it here. He smiled and then saw his crystal moving out of the corner of his eye.

He saw the crystal moving out of the corner of his eye and saw it moving back and forth. Ughhh nope. It wasn't here. He even looked around and couldn't find it with his own eyes. What could be an obvious spot? He thought and thought and then the thought came to him! He grinned and knew what place to look next. He went to go and check his common room or his bedroom. He would decide when he get here.

His search had led him all the way down towards the lake. Or the beech tree near it. Jeez, it was just his luck that his personal item had to be so freaking far away from the castle. Sure, it wasted enough lesson time for him to be back in time for class to be over but what if this went over class time? He kinda wanted to have a snack, you know. All this searching was making him dead hungry.

ANYWAYS. He was here. And he was gonna sit down by the beech tree and pretend that nobody else existed. It was the only way to focus.

Speaking of focusing, that was what he was doing right now. Focusing and taking deep breaths so that he could clear his mind of all thought. It was a little harder this time round because of the fact that his stomach was growling and his mind was, naturally, thinking about all the food he could have once he was doe with the lesson.

FOCUS.

"Is my dragon ornament near the lake? By the beech tree?" The crystal seemed to move around in a circle, which made his heart leap, but before he knew it, the crystal did something it did back in class. It moved straight across, forming a semi-circle shape.

DEADPAN.

What in the name of Merlin?! Talk about trolling someone. Jeez, couldn't it give him a straight answer?

"IS. MY DRAGON ORNAMENT. NEAR THE BEECH TREE?!" The crystal moved straight across, without moving around in a circle first. No, then. And that meant that he had to move on to the next location.

Sigh.
