| Mootabulous | | I ♥ Draco Kat smiled as Keith almost lost his balance, asking where she had come from. "Oh you know-" She stopped as she looked into his big brown eyes with her own chocolate brown ones, lost in words. "I-uh-uh-bye!" She said quickly swimming towards her friends as fast as she could. Her cheeks were burning bright red from embarrassment. She had never ever done that around a guy. She was normally all open and out-going, but with Keith it was....different. Jada watched as Kat began dunking random people and heard Patrick's remark. "Watch out Pat, you might be next since you just said that." She called out. She watched as Kat swam back over to her, Sam, and Trina. "Smooth move Ms. Out Going." She said smiling. Jada thought it was kinda of cute the way Kat got embarrassed around Kieth, it normally wasn't like her to be embarrassed, she was normally the one embarrassing others! Kat glared at Jada and stuck her tongue out at her. "Shut up Jada, I just totally made a fool of myself and I don't want to talk about it!" She snapped. |

She walked back to the lake, seeing everyone in the water, she ran full speed towards the water and jumped in with her clothes on instead of a bathing suit. She looked around and asked, "Hey where did Tanner go?" Quote:

The giant squid and I have quite an intimate relationship," he informed his friend in a mock serious tone. "I've never met a more.. enthusiastic kisser." He suppressed a laugh. Shaun cast a quick glance over at the girls, then lowered his voice as he turned his back on them. "I'm going with Sam." His smile was genuine now, and he snuck one more look at the girls, his eyes lingering on Samantha, making sure they were out of earshot, before returning his eyes to Keith and Patrick. "I haven't asked her yet, but soon." Realizing that he was getting caught up in his own romantic interest, he turned the question back at his mates. "And you guys? I can only guess, but I would like some assurance.." But just then, Kat came swimming up. Shaun dropped the subject, but smiled and raised his eyebrows at Kat and Keith. "Heeey Jada!" Deedee called as Jada jumped into the lake fully dressed, she started laughing at Shaun's confessions about the giant squid. She started swimming around the lake looking at eveyone and thinking about how to start attacking and starting a fight. Hanz sat down beside a nearby tree, close to the lake. He smiled as he watched everyone swimming and laughing, the sight of them set his mind at peace ..

They could so go for a walk and spend some time alone but she also wanted to spend some time with everyone else as well. Hmmm. Well they had all day, they could walk later. "Last one there is a lame dragon!" And just like that she took off printing toward the lake.
When she reached the waters edge she gave a big yell and then jumped in cloths and all. Blake came up laughing and swept her long drenched hair out of her face and looked around for Jack.

Trina resurfaced after Kat had plunged her towards the bottom. She looked around with a sly grin looking for her next victim like a shark. She saw the new girl jump in and her target had been selected. Trina took a deep breath and went under swimming, with her eyes open, to the new girl. She reached her and pulled on her legs as hard as she could before resurfacing gasping for air. She shook her head to get the hair out of her face before turning around and heading back to her friends.

The first face she saw as she resurfaced was Patricks with a cheeky grin and she assumed it must have been him and gave an little grin and tackled him into the water. Out of the blue, Patrick was being submerged by Kayla. he pulled out his wand and preformed the bubble charm to allow himself to breath. He reached for Kayla's legs and pulled just hard enough to submerge her too. He stuck out his tongue at Kayla and allowed himself to float to the top, laughing the entire way.
He looked around, now that he had dunked one person he wanted to dunk someone else. He spotted Trina and Kat floating next to each other a few yards away. He took a deep breath and went back under. He swam the small distance and tugged lightly on the their legs, pulling them both under. He rose to the surface and laughed. who knew swimming could be so fun much, he wondered to himself.

Trina saw Kyla tackle Patrick. That made her angry until she was pulled under herself. Trina smiled then began floating again beside Kat. All of a sudden she was submerged under water. She preformed the bubble charm so that she could breathe and saw Patrick swimming back to his friends. She swam over and pulled on his leg. But she missed and accidently pulled his trunks instead. She laughed the whole way back to Kat where she began floating again.

"guess Trina wanted a show" patrick joked when he got over to where Shaun and Keith were still floating "she just tried to pull my pants down!"

| Aidella | King of Confusion | Brittana | Forever ACROMANTULA "Well, you guys sure are having a dunking spree," Shaun remarked with a pleasant smile. He glanced around for a moment. "Well, I think I'm done with swimming for now," he told them as he swam over to the edge of the lake. He climbed onto the grass and pushed the wet hair out of his eyes, causing it to stand up in several directions. "Oh, crap. We need towels." He ran over to where his robes were and pulled his wand out of his pocket. "Accio bath towels." Sure enough, several maroon towels came out to greet him. "You guys can take one when you're all done. I'll be right back," and with that, Shaun was back at the forest, this time changing back into his familiar Gryffindor robes. |

"I was not trying to get a show. I'm not some sicko. I was trying to pull your leg but I missed. By the way your but is as white as snow." Trina laughed and splashed water towards Patrick before swimming to the shore and grabbing one of the towels Shaun had gotten for them."Hmph." Trina mummbled laying the towel out. She layed down and began to tan.

Jack had ran after Blake, being probably a bit faster than her when he tried, and stopped at the edge of the lake with a smile, watching Blake jump in. "Oh no, looks like I'm a lame Dragon. What a pity, eh?" He asked Blake with a grin. While he waited for her answer, he pulled off his t-shirt, just so it didn't get wet, and jumped into the lake. His shorts would dry off, anyway.

"WHOA! Way to much for my eyes to handle right there!" She laughed, shielding her eyes. She then swam over to the edge of the lake and sat next to Trina. "Hey!" She said, "Mind if I tan with you? I'm trying to get golden brown for the dance!" She added, grabbing a maroon towel. |

Once Trina had gotten out of the water it was hard for Patrick to not look at her. She was even more beautiful then when she was in the water. "you know i was only kidding!"he shouted to her but she was to busy talking to Kat to listen to him. He turned away and was over to Keith.
"So Keith when you gonna ask Kat to the dance?" Patrick asked now that he had pulled his shorts back up and was floating on his back.

| Aidella | King of Confusion | Brittana | Forever ACROMANTULA Shaun wandered back to where his friends were, his towel flung over his shoulder and his normal attire back on. Releasing a content sigh, he fell back against the tree and slid down to sit on the grass. He smiled a bit as he heard Sam say that she was trying to get tan for the dance. At least that confirmed that she was indeed going. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Anthony "Tony" Ellison Duvall First Year | | | Pigfarts... is on MARS! | | Computer Nerd Alert! | | Sam picked up her towel and casually wandered over to where Shaun was sitting and laid down her towel. "Hey Shaun!" She said, trying not to run away screaming like a tiny monkey. "I was wondering if you.. uhh... would like to... umm... could you... ehh... umm... help me with my charms homework?" She finally asked with a sigh. Geez she was a wimp when it came to Shaun. She had trouble making the actual question come out since she was lost in his eyes and it sounded like a mumble at the end.
ooc: Im off see ya!

| Aidella | King of Confusion | Brittana | Forever ACROMANTULA A grin tugged at the corners of Shaun's mouth when Sam moved her towel over by him. He lifted his eyebrows slightly as she tried getting out a question that took her abnormally long. He could see what she was getting at, but was thankful that she had actually asked about charms homework. After all, he wanted to ask her tonight. "Charms?" He repeated, now smiling. "Yeah, of course.." He thought for a moment, then continued. "How about tonight? I could meet you out here.. right here, actually. By this tree? It'd be better out here since we'll be doing bewitching charms." He glanced back and forth between her hazel eyes and tucked a stray strand of her damp hair behind her ear. "Sound good?" |

"So Keith when you gonna ask Kat to the dance?" Patrick asked now that he had pulled his shorts back up and was floating on his back. As soon as Kyla surfaced she started looking for where Patrick was and noticed hom by his freinds floating on his stomach and sahe thought, oh good he's vulnerable. She secretly swam on over to him and proceeded to tackle him under via his stmach knowing he really would'nt be able to retaliate to something like that.

As Keith was about to answer, Kyla pushed Patrick in the water. Chuckling, he swam over to the edge of the Lake & got out. Grabbing a towel, Keith ruffled his hair, giving sideways glances to Kat & plopped on the grass, lying on his stomach.
"Where do all want to go now?" He said in a muffled voice. Keith didn't want to go back to the castle as it was very crowded at the moment & he would've to go back to his duty...

She then got out of the lake and pulled a maroon towel wrapped it around herself and forgetting all about her jacket and robes she marched towards the castle to change after announcing it loudly. "I'm gonna go change." ooc: what time of the day is it ??

OOC: I don't know.. late afternoon, maybe? Or evening. hahah, I don't know. And when is Kyla going to sneak them the lurrrve potions? Shaun's lips stretched into a smile upon hearing her answer. "How about.. quarter of eight?" He watched the various emotions wash over Sam's face, then tore his eyes away to look at Keith. "Hmmm, I don't know. Let's stay outside, though," he answered, leaning back against the tree again. "It'd be a shame to waste this weather." |

Sam's dazzling smile spread across her face and she decided to just lay down and tan for a while. After all, she needed to get golden brown for the dance. As she laid on her towel, she agreed with Shaun. "Yeah, who knows when the weather is going to be like this again? We should enjoy it while it lasts." Turning her face towards Shaun, she added. "So Shaun? Are you planning on going to the dance? And not to be nosy, but have you asked anyone yet?" She asked casually, trying not to look like she was actually asking him if he was going to ask her.
ooc: Cedric, in your next post do you just want to skip to quarter of eight or do you actually want to wait until quarter of eight?

Shrugging, she dove under the water and swam a good distance away from the shore. The water was wonderful and she had always loved swimming. Turning around she looked for Jack.
"Guess we are the only one's left in here."
