"its alright." he told her as he smiled at her. She was purring.. it was funny. he grinned and chuckled just a little. he watched as the water balloons as they hit her and also himself. now he was wet...gesh. she had bad aim. he watched as she turned back into her old self. Even when she was a panther she still loved candy. " Thanks lyra..." he said to her as he looked around. He moved to find a spot to sit that was out of the way. he managed to take his robe off and put it around her in his arms." How are you feeling? any better?"

Lyra watched in amazement as the transformation took shape between features on her face and eyes. Now she truly felt sympathy for the student, having to go through all of this for...what? There was a new question that she didn't know the answer too.

She smiled at Josh as he thanked her. She gave a nod of her head and was about to follow but noticed the cute little monkey was beginning to transform as well. Never before had anything caught her attention as the changing of the student's form, but as the monkey took it's shape as a human once more, she recognized the face as a boy named Vince with whom she casually met through Sana at Hogsmeade. Clearly the boy was much cuter as a monkey, attitude and all, but maybe he had changed. She had to give him credit for that after all, right? Nah! He was still same Vince she remembered, hearing his rude comments within the street. First impressions were everything to Lyra, he clearly made a wrong one. She would definitely have to fill Agie in on this one since she was not around to witness that.

Well, thank goodness for the robes of the Slytherin Prefect as well. Geez! She quickly turned her head, walked over to where Josh and the transformed student was and sat down. To her knowledge, she had never met this student before and didn't know her name. She wished there was more that she could do as well.

Jai nodded "Thank you Josh. I'm still in pain though." she sighed "And about your back, I'm terribly sorry, I dont remember much about what happened." she pouted at him. She yawned and laid against him "You know you hit like a girl." she giggled.

When the panda bear found herself back into the grounds, she immediately wished she hadn't. Thanks to the nice two legged creatures she had met inside of the castle, the panda wasn't as scared of the creatures -- but crowds were still intimidating.

And some of those two legged creatures weren't even on the Earth! They were up in the sky, chucking something down. Eh. Was it some kind of game? The panda bear wasn't sure, and sat down a little far away from the crowd. Just to be safe.

Alexis spied the panda and quickly got out a balloon and threw it, hoping her aim was good

Shayna hovered above the students, a filled balloon held firmly in her right fist. She scanned the grounds below, keeping slightly away from the main action, eyes narrowed against the onslaught of balloons.

Her narrowed gaze fell on a small panda crouching a distance further away from the rest of them. Kicking off, Shayna zipped silently through the air, eyes trained on the furry creature, before stopping mid-air directly above the panda. Training her hand carefully, Shayna closed one eye trying to zone in on her target. She whipped her arm back, sending her balloon careening at blinding speed at the panda below.

The panda bear was warily watching out for any signs of cages, still trying to understand what that game was all about, when suddenly Boom! - the furry animal got hit by a balloon.

The liquid started falling down her head and the panda looked up, trying to catch a glimpse of it. It seemed like her head was moving with her though. Hmpf.

It was a rather nice feeling, at least the liquid was cold. Panda bears weren't made to be in the sun really. So she wanted more! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! The cute furred animal wanted to play and get more wet. Hehe. Maybe if some two legged creatures could chuck a balloon at her again.

Or maybe not.

When the panda bear spotted one of those creatures zooming at her in what seemed like a small tree, she couldn't care less about the fun game. This was scaaaaaary!! As quickly as she could, the panda ran to stand under a tree, her back and white fur glistening because of the liquid. The balloon missed her by inches.

This wasn't as fun anymore and ducking in, the panda bear covered her head with her paws, trying to hide from view.

Mister Squirrel darted from the castle where the kind two-legged creatures had given him nuts, now he needed a tree to sit and munch them properly. But what he was greeted with out here did not seem good. Not good in the slightest. It was chaos!

Those creatures, the horrible ones, they were flying! Like, actually in the air! Funny, he hadn't noticed wings on them.

Weasel ran around in circles dodging ballons quickly.

Hermy spied the squirrel run out of the castle near where she was hovering by the penguin, and she decided to go over it. She didn't want to scare the penguin too much if it turned round and saw her flying with potion filled balloons.

Swooping down low, Hermy took aim at the squirrel and tossed the balloon gently towards it. Perhaps if it was busy wanting to eat its food, it might not realise there was a balloon heading for it.

The squirrel kept his peanut held tightly between his two front paws as he watched the flying, two-legged monsters. The fact that they could fly just made them a whole lot scarier but at least he wasn't up in the air with them.

His beady eyes focused on one particular flying monster that appeared to be flying at him. He just prayed it stayed up there in the air.

It was then he noticed that it had dropped something. Dropped something that was headed right for him! The grip around his peanut tightened and he instinctively froze on the spot, too afraid to move.

And then the weapon the monster dropped made contact, and Mister Squirrel squeaked loudly at the impact. He was only small, and that weapon had come at him with some force, popping and leaving some sort of liquid covering his deep red fur.

Darn. And he'd dropped his peanut.

Bella gasped when she finally spotted the squirrel, quickly making her way over to where he was, she reached into her bag of balloons and aimed one at his small back, hurling it as soon as he was distracted. Come on Clifford.

Mister Squirrel was trying to recover from the attack. He'd come out here to find a tree to eat his nut happily, and what happened? He got attacked. Perfect.

Even better, he'd got attacked by something that had left his shiny, red fur all gross! Ugh.

And he'd dropped his peanut!! Why were these two-legged creatures so mean? Why couldn't they just let him be?

He was searching frantically in the grass for his lost food when he felt something else hit him and a fresh wave of gooey liquidness showered his already damp back.

He'd just been hit again! That was twice now!

Unable to take this anymore, Mister Squirrel darted away, looking for safety. His peanut would have to go uneaten.

Hermy wanted to smile when she hit the squirrel, but she couldn't. It looked scared stiff as it had noticed the balloon heading for it. Well, at least it was now a third of the way getting back to being a human. Perhaps she could finish the job, so as to stop it being quite so frightened by all this mad activity.

This time Hermy came up to the now moving squirrel from behind. Maybe that way the squirrel might not see it and be less scared. Plus it might just have a better chance of hitting. She came close to the squirrel, and lightly tossed the balloon.

Bella spotted the panda looking scared and hiding with her paws of her eyes, on her way past, she ducked down, popping a balloon over the little panda's head, hopefully enough of the potion actually got on her. Then she pulled up, after the squirrel once more, if she managed to get him again, she wanted to be there when he changed back, getting as close as she could, she leaned off of her broom and popped the balloon, just like she had done with the panda, not caring if her fingers smelled bad.

Hermy moved her attention away from the squirrel for a moment, and noticed a blurr of fur darting to and fro. She squinted at it, deciding that is could possibly be a weasel. Either way it was what she was next going after.

Eying the movement of the creature carefully, Hermy judged its speed and direction as she pulled out another balloon. Luckily it appeared to be going in circles. Narrowing her eyes, Hermy took aim and threw the her balloon at the weasel, hoping she had judged for its speed appropriately.

He'd been hit twice now, and his short, red fur was a giant gooey mess! That was gonna take ages to groom out. All that, and he'd dropped his peanut. Wasn't life kind to little red squirrels.

Not.

After being hit twice though, he knew he wouldn't be able to take much more. The balloons were like the same size as he was! And when they flew fast through the air like that, it hurt quite a lot when they hit him.

He didn't want to be hit anymore, and when his beady little eyes caught two more of the flying monsters dropping weapons on him, he managed to dart away quickly.

Good thing he was fast.

Miss Panda was actually quite glad with herself. Covering her eyes had worked! But of course, it only made sense: if she couldn't see the two legged creatures, the creatures couldn't see her right?

Eh. Not so right.

As she felt a second balloon hit her head, the panda knew she had been discovered. But that was alright. She actually liked the balloons and the liquid inside of them. It kept the warmth away. She just didn't like seeing the two legged creatures flying in those trees in her direction.

Shaking her wet, furry head, the panda looked up at what was happening. Maybe she could climb the tree and play too! Wheeeeee!! Feeling excited, the furry animal tried to climb the tree she was hiding under, only to fall over at the first try.

Eh.

Bella groaned, it seemed that even in animal form, Clifford was as stubborn as ever. She followed the little squirrel, smirking when she realized he was moving pretty much the same way as he did when he was playing Quidditch, that would work to her advantage. All those summers of endless Quidditch would finally pay off. She reached for another balloon and aimed it at his head, chucking it with all of her might.

The squirrel was glad he was blessed with the ability to run fast, and had picked up quite a bit of speed now, darting between the other poor animals that were on the ground.

He didn't expect any of those flying monsters to be able to hit him again.

But one of them did.

It had thrown one of those gooey, messy weapons so hard it brought him clean off his feet, sending him rolling along the hard ground and squeaking loudly. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. That hurt. And left him extremely dizzy, and even wetter and grosser than before.

That was three times now. He didn't feel so good.

Bella hovered over the little squirrel, she felt horrible for hitting him so hard, but all she could do now was wait for her Clifford to come back. Quietly she dismounted her broom and left it on the ground, "Clifford." she said softly, hoping the squirrel would recognize his name and not try to run from her. "Clivvie." she added for good measure.

Tia stood in front of the castle watching her fellow students hit the animals with potion filled balloons she saw a few familiar faces but most of the faces she didn't know but she was unsure whether she could help out or not she was scared but she wanted the rest of the animals back to human form soon

Why did they seems to know more than he did. This was way to strange for him to sound it right but then again his head was hurting like he got a tones of brick. Still trying to cover himself with the tiny robe, he listen to that girl and her explanation. As she mentioned him been an animal, he wasn't sure who was the deranged one, him or her. At least he had an excuse, he lost the memory of everything that seems to have happens.

Suddenly frozen, he look around. LEXI!! Where was she? "Ok I'm sure this is all fascinating but have you see Lexi?" He wasn't sure if she knew her at all but he was worried about Lexi and wanted to know where she was.

Tia was hovering about the grounds when she spied the weasel running in circles grabbing a balloon from her bag she swooped in low and threw the balloon onto the weasels back and watched as it hit with success

The powerful Silver Wolf charged out to the front of the building, growling and snarling and barking at everything that moved. He was mad, and was ready to attack the next thing that came toward him, prefferably a Two-legged.

He was tired of being chased and approached and patronised by these creatures, but knew that killing was only a last resort. His fur raised as he began to slow down, sniffing and growling loudly.
