| Grounds Have a case of cabin castle fever? Best to take a break from all the stone corridors and go hang out by the lake, or explore the expansive school grounds. Don't forgive to send your regards to Bartholomew Henry! |

| | |  The Boathouse
Image Credit: Felixir
Every 1st September, new first years arrive at Hogwarts via boat, traveling from the outskirts of Hogsmeade, across the lake, and into the boathouse. This structure stands, logically enough, at the edge of the lake, and can be reached via a pathway from the courtyard, consisting of a long and winding stairway down the cliff face. A hidden passageway accessible from the inside of the boathouse leads up through the cliff itself, and emerges onto a patch of lawn which lies in the shadow of the castle.
All of the Hogwarts boats are stored here when not in use. You are free to take them out onto the lake, as long as you have permission from the groundskeeper to do so. Everything you might need for a trip out in the boats is hanging up around the walls, including oars and life jackets. Be sure to put everything back where you found it once you're done with it. Including - and especially - the boats themselves. | |

Iris bolted out of the castle without even eating breakfast after waking up on this particular saturday with puke colored yellow, and neon green hair as evidenced by the big scare she got, when she looked in the mirror with the aim to comb her beautiful hair, like she did every morning like clock work. She had screamed at the top of her lungs at the sight of her hairs miserable state, not caring who she woke up or not in the snake dorms. This was a hair crime she fully intended to report to her head of house after Iris had figured out a way to get the awful colours out of her hair. Who had done this, and why was another matter this fourth year fully intended to investigate when she wasn't fuming with anger, stress, and tears streaming down her face.
Coming into the silent boathouse which she prayed was empty at this hour Iris chose a random boat and climbed in. Sitting down, she put her head in her hands, and let the angry tears fall as she tried to figure out what to do. Could a dip in the lake, wash the colours out?

Falcon liked to have a treat by the lake. Don't ask him why, he just liked to do so. The elves always baked delicious biscuits and scones for them to take in the Kitchens, so he had an armful (being a growing young man, and all). Maybe he could even have a boat ride.. Connor was busy studying so that left him alone on the Lake.
Falcon stopped when he heard someone's voice, a familiar someone's. Well, they sounded familiar, the sight of neon hair puzzled him but then it clicked. He heard what sounded like a scream through the other side of the dorms earlier.... "Iris?" He asked, approaching closer. He wasn't going to ask if she was okay or what's wrong because, well, the sight just said it all. He actually found the hair colour pretty cool looking, but his hair wasn't in this unusual state.
To fill the awkward silence, he looked down in his arms and held one out after sitting next to her. "Want a biscuit?" He would offer a hankerchief, but his arms were a bit full for him to risk dropping some of the sweets on the ground.

Head still in her hands Iris sat on the bench in the boat in the quiet of the boathouse, and just let herself feel all the emotions when she heard a familiar voice calling out her name. NOoooooooooo! No, dashing hotstuff Falcon can't see me like this was her immediate thought that cancelled out all the anger and hurt in a jiffy. Quickly trying to wipe away the tears from her face, which probably was useless since her eyes were puffy red, and her hair was in a miserable state Iris looked up to meet Falcom's gaze. "Hi Falcon....." She mouthed out in response to him, since she still had manners.
When Falcon sat down on the boat bench next to her, it took a moment and an embarrassing stomach growl later before Iris nodded, accepting the offered biscuit. "Yes, thank you...." Nibbling on the biscuit she queried with a very weak smile, since it was no use hiding what was seen in plain sight. "What do you think of my hair?"

Nibbling on the biscuit she queried with a very weak smile, since it was no use hiding what was seen in plain sight. "What do you think of my hair?"
Falcon chewed unphased by her stomach growling, as he surveyed her reaction. It also gave him a moment to think about what she asked. "Honestly?" It had a punk-like vibe, which was cool. But from the tosseled look from likely was from her frustration, "I don't think it looks bad, it's... definitely different. But the colours, those are wicked cool, actually."
Iris seemed to calm down a bit by his gesture. He gave her a small smile, before also offering her a handkerchief as well. His dark eyes followed her eyes for a moment, and his expression softened. "Someone did this to you, didn't they?" He didn't like to mince words and went straight to the point. "But you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He glanced toward the lake before looking back at her, giving her a choice while he thought over how to move forward with this.
