Default Climbing Tree


Standing squarely in the middle of an otherwise featureless lawn is an immense oak tree with sprawling, high-reaching branches, its foliage thick and rich with natural colour, depending on the time of year. The tree is taller than it has any right to be, and seems ideal for climbing. That is, indeed, what your benevolent groundskeeper had in mind when he grew it.

The very lowest branches jut out six feet or so above the ground, but if you can't reach or haul yourself onto these, there are little nooks and conveniently located knots in the trunk to get you started. Up in the higher branches, you'll find platforms and maybe a basic treehouse structure or two, but the real fun to be had is in traversing the tree itself.

Climbing tree though it is, this area also serves as a pleasant meeting place, the vast canopy of leaves providing plenty of shade in the summer months. A plank swing dangles from one of the lower branches, and a tyre swing from another.

It's pretty difficult to confuse this tree with the Whomping Willow. For starters, you're in an entirely different part of the grounds. Not to mention, the climbing tree is an oak, and (presumably) won't maim you for trying to climb it. All the same, you're expected to treat this place with respect. Don't act like a fool, especially when you're high up in the tree. If you do happen to fall, the slowing and softening charms in place around this area will kick in, and you will come to no great harm.

Do as you please here, as long as its within school rules. Relax. Have fun. Go wild.

But maybe not too wild.

A wicked, wicked idea started blossoming in her mind… She looked back to the older girl with a mischievous grin.

Wanna race?
RACE? Valentina blinked for a moment. "Uh.. I was actually going to sit on the swing for a little bit! Maybe we can race later?" Giving the younger girl a bright smile, the gryffindor sat on the plank swing. She started to gently swing herself back and forth, still looking at the girl.

"I'm Valentina, by the way. You can call me Val if you like!"

"So which is it.. huge or big?" she teased playfully still staring up at the tree making a mental map of where the foot and hand holds were.

"Hey, Tadhg.. that was the plan. Just getting an idea of where to start." Since there was no way she was reaching even the lowest branch. Which meant she needed to do a bit of mapping. Adjusting her bag over her shoulder, she gently moved Sir Frederik Puffington into her bag where he would be safe.

Bright blue eyes shifted from the tree to the boyfriend and back to tree. "I'm going up," she flashed him a bright smile before moving forward and putting the toe of her sneaker on the lowest knot in the tree. Reaching a hand up she found a good spot to hold onto. Little by little she made her way up into the tree, being careful of where she put her hands and feet.

Looking up at the tree and back down at his girlfriend he grinned sheepishly. Of course she would playfully tease him about what he said, he would've done the same thing really. It was how they were, teasing each other and laughing at themselves and each other in harmless fun. "Both? Why can't it be both?" He asked her smirking his eyes sparkling at her.


Looking back at the tree he bit his lip trying to figure out where in the world to start. He was tall, but he wasn't tall enough to reach the bottom branch yet. So he was figuring out how to get up the tree as well. Putting Shadow in his bag for safe keeping he walked over beside Lia.

"I'm right behind you." Waiting until she was up some ways he begin to climb up after her. Being a bit taller he was able to reach the more taller knots and places on the tree. Keeping an eye on Lia as well as himself he headed up the tree.

Oooh, some common ground. “Cool! I really like Transfiguration as well.” She stopped herself from mentioning how well she did last term, because she was starting to read the room a little and Daniel PROBABLY didn’t care. “Are you good at Arithmancy? I think it’s one of my worst subjects.” Remy chuckled a little with a shrug of her shoulders. She was making a big effort here.

Oh, sorry.” Remy scratched the back of her head as he pulled his hand back from hers. She felt severely embarrassed but didn’t think she had done anything wrong. It was becoming clear that she had to work on her people skills a bit more. She nodded calmly, toning back the enthusiasm, and she surveyed which step to take first.

She did, in fact, go for the first step that she had taken previously. Quickness in her step, Remy took another three steps, lifting her body swiftly up the tree. “See? It’s easy. Are you gonna wait for me to get to the top, or?” She wouldn’t be surprised if she made it to the top, looked down, and Daniel had ditched.

That would make her REALLY upset.
She was right. He wouldn't have cared about her progress in Transfiguration since the last term because they weren't friends. MAYBE if they got to know each other over time he would have been but for now, nope.

"I'm pretty confident in my Arithmancy skill" he answered as Remy told him that it was one of her worst subjects. It was then that he had an idea. It could benefit them both and he also knew that he needed to interact with people because so far, more people disliked him than not. "How about i help you with Arithmancy and you help me with Flying?"

The thought of ditching her while she was climbing up the tree had crossed his mind. But he had said that he would climb up too and he did keep his promises sometimes. Not always. But today he would. He reached for the branch that Remy had used to climb earlier and pulled himself up.

The task was more difficult than he had expected and as he reached for the second branch and was hauling himself up, the boy took a breather. He needed to get physically fitter.

"I'm right behind you." Waiting until she was up some ways he begin to climb up after her. Being a bit taller he was able to reach the more taller knots and places on the tree. Keeping an eye on Lia as well as himself he headed up the tree.
Dahlia bit her bottom lip to keep from giggling to hard. "Fine, fine. Both it is but only because it's you." The way they teased one another was not at all uncommon, it had always been a part of their friendship. It was never hurtful and only in good fun.

"Okay! How up are we going?" She wasn't exactly looking down at all as she climbed, her focus only on where her hands and feet were at any given moment in time. "Want to sit on a ledge or checkout one of the treehouses?" Lia was more than happy to explore the entire tree and everything in it.

Reaching a large solid branch, Lia pulled herself up onto it and sat down letting her legs dangling swinging them back and forth.

She didn’t want to race?!?

*POUT*

Well wait. Hold up, Lisa. She said later for a race soooo she quickly bounced back. Wiping the pout off her face, she looked up at the older girl and followed her to the swing. Swinging looked fun…. She thought as she watched the girl gently rock herself back and forth on it.

Doing that so gently didn’t look fun as going as fast as Lisa wanted to but she supposed doing it the way Val was - was much more ladylike and she NEEDED to become more ladylike herself.

Nice to meet you, Val. I’m Lisa.” She offered a smile to the older girl before adding. “What do you think of this place?

Valentina had obviously noticed the pout. Aw, was she upset?? "We can definitely race later." She repeated with a bright smile. "It'll be great! And we can get ice cream after?" She was pretty fast on her feet.

"Lisa. Evan's sister, yes?" She asked as she continued swinging back and forth, going a little higher this time. She loved how her hair was flying all over the place too. So FUN!! "I love this swing but I haven't tried climbing the tree yet. How about you?"

GASP. An olive branch??

She was shocked that Daniel was the one to suggest them tutoring each other in their least favourite subjects, but she was up for it. Usually she wouldn’t fight so much to get someone to like her, but Daniel was totally cute and she was a sucker for it, to be honest. “Great idea! How about… this Saturday… we can meet in the library?” Or the grounds. It depended who was teaching who first.

Remy beamed proudly as she looked down at Daniel, who was taking her route almost exactly the way she had demonstrated. He trusted her!!! She hauled herself up even more, getting a little confident and lost her footing. “Oops,” thankfully she had managed to save herself this time. “I’m almost half way!” She called down to Daniel before looking back up again.

The pout disappeared lickity split and was replaced with a bright smile when Valentina said maybe they could race later. Yaaaaay!!! “Ice cream sounds amazing!!!” she beamed. She loved ice cream and loved going to the kitchens to visit the House Elves!!

Her eyebrows raised quickly and she lowered them before smiling and nodding. “I am!!! His youngest and only Ravenclaw sister,” she proudly beamed with her hand on both of her hips. “Are you a friend of Evan’s?” Or a friend friend? Because Val was pretty and if she thought Evan was pretty than she was going to meddle.

I like the tree. I like coming here and reading. Climbing’s good too but I don’t particularly like heights…

Valentina couldn't help but grin at the younger girl's excitement! It was so cute. "Yeah? What's your favourite?" She asked curiously, pushing her hair out of the face. It was getting into her mouth when she spoke, ugh. The blonde loved ice cream too!! If only she could eat it all day, everyday.

"Yeah, yeah. We are friends!" She thought he was super cool. "I like him a lot!" And she meant it with all her heart. Also, being terribly oblivious, Val didn't exactly realise how that would sound to his sister. She was just being genuine.

"SAME! I don't like heights either! I think we have a lot of things in common, Lisa." HEH.

Daniel was pleased that Remy didn't come up with a pretended reason to not engage in the tutoring sessions. But then again, why would she? It was a win-win situation for both of them.

The Hufflepuff nodded his head to show that he agreed with the day and meeting place for the tutoring session. "How about after dinner?" he asked. "I have something to do during the day" he said. He wanted to add that she should bring her textbook with her but he figured that she shouldn't be reminded. "I'm not very good though, but i can help out with what we learned this week"

She might call it to trust in her. He called it to trust in his observation. While he had lifted himself to another branch, the second year glanced up just in time to see Remy lose her steadiness yet again but thankfully she managed to stay on the branch.

Lucky for him he meant because if she fell, he would fall too seeing as he was following behind her. "How far is it?" he asked after a quick breather. He was tired already and began to wonder why he had even started to climb the tree in the first place. He just wanted to climb back down, grab his stuff and leave to read in the library. Or perhaps inside of a dome. But he also didn't want to just give up so he climbed on, hoping that he would reach the treehouse soon.
