"I do remember you" Fabian answered with an odd expression crossing his face, "I don't forget a face" his lips broke into a reassuring smile. "Your welcome, and no. Not train him like a dog, merely train him to behave normally around humans... we're about to start, we'll talk more about this when you drop by the park"




"Your welcome" he murmured, with the same smile he held from conversing with Savannah. "Mmm, lots of food. Make sure you eat, we'll be out till dinner time" he added, "you'll need all th energy".







Fabian's head shot back to Max when he queried someone about their identity. Strange, Max knew everyone on ground. His eyes raked the Groundskeeper, yup. That was him alright, "Max, he's Mr. Spray".

"I will fly anywhere Sir. I would fly as far as you want me to."

"Good boy, then I'll make sure to add you to my team. Hear that Max? I get Margret on my team".

Hermy ran down to the broomshed, and half fell through the door, breathing heavily. There was no way that a search party was going to happen without her in it, even if she was late. She wanted to find Finn as soon as possible.

After had conspicuous entrance, Hermy tried to sneak out of the way so she could hear what was going on without being stared at.

This would have been the perfect opportunity to pretend to have another identity but Mr. I Love Goats interrupted him and on Ocean's face appeared a strained smile. "It's Jones," he corrected. "The Groundskeeper."

"Oh, the Juice Man," Max said after a moment. He had never seen the guy and assumed the groundskeeper was old. This kid looked like he just graduated from school. He shook his head. "We're finishing up our plans for an aerial search of the school, but perhaps you have an idea on how to search the grounds."

Josh heard that they were getting started. Finally. " You want to come with me? Or you wanting to go with ari?" he asked lyra after hearing max. He would go alone if needed, he wasnt afraid to go off by himself.

Josh chuckled a little to himself.. oh he would have to use that one. at the same time... That sucked.

"I see; well, it threw me off but I remember," She said, reassuringly to Whende. Again, Savannah gave a simple nod when Professor Clark said they'd speak more about Rabid later. Now was time to concentrate on the searching for the missing students.

"A badger" The fourth year added quietly, in response to the seventh years question. Her attention quickly switching over to the planning; Vannah was fine with being apart of whatever group, flying or walking.

"Ohhhh. Badger..." Whende said. Her voice was quiet to begin with. But it trailed off even more at the end of her statement. Things were starting to turn interesting.

Then she nearly choked on her spit. Mr. Spray? The Juice Man? Well... Clearly he had a nice little row of nicknames, Sir Muffin Guy aside. When swallowed, cleared her windpipe. Her face had managed to turn red in the time it took. Ocean Spray Muffin Juice...

Forrester had been in the stands when he heard the call to gather and help the search for the missing students. He entered the broomshed and waited for the rest of the mob, for that is what everyone resembled, assembled.

"When did you change your name?" Fabian tilted his head slightly in query, "But of course, if you'd want us to call you Mr. Jones, we'll call you Mr. Jones" not believing for a singly minute that his name was Jones. What was wrong with Spray?


"Alright kids" he called out to get the student's attention while Max took in more details from the Groundskeeper. "Since we are all dividing, and majority of groups will not have a professor on toe, we will be using colored sparks to facilitate our search. If you are under any danger or need immediate assitance, shoot out red sparks. If you think you found a missing student, or an animal form they are possessing send out green sparks. If you made a mistake or it was a false alarm, cast out blue sparks. Am I clear?"


"Use the incantation Relashio to emit sparks, concentrate on the color while you flick your wand. And you should you have pleasing results!"

After grabbing himself a hot chocolate, Curt hacked a nasty cough into his already, quite discusting, sleeve once again. He scanned the room and spotted Savannah with the older Gryffindor whome he had seen around the school numberous times, yet never had actually talked to her. Drudging up to the two, Curt took a long sip from his chocolate.

"Looks like we are about to head out." he croaked out once again, his sickly appearance looking even more noticable now, even though he was drinking from the warming hot cocoa. "I think I am going to fly." Curt said, coughing into his sleeve once again and sniffing, trying to clear his blocked up nose. "What about yall?" he asked looking to Savannah and the older Gryffindor. Curt gave the Gryffindor the best smile he could muster and turned around to sneeze, "I'm Curt by the way." he said, and once again turned around the sneeze. "I don't think we've ever met." he said with a warm smile, rubbing his eyes slightly.

Curt turned around to listen to the Professor, he nodded his head as he spoke. Curt cleared his throught as he pulled out his wand, his face full of determination now. He was dead set on finding Alexis, and the rest of the missing students. "You ready?" he said, turning to Savannah, as he was sure she was just as, if not even more, determined to find Alexis.

Pretending not to hear the first comment he scratched his cheek, leaning forward to frown at the map. "It shouldn't be too difficult," he spoke with a hint of doubt. The students had proved to be quite a handful the little time he had interacted with them. "We could split them up in groups. One searches the lake and the surrounding areas along with the vegetable patch, it's unusually crowded. I wasn't aware students liked their vegetables so much," he joked to relieve the tension and laughed at his own joke. He stopped quickly though, realizing no one was quite in the laughing mood anyways. "Anyways," continued the Groundskeeper after clearing his throat nervously. "The other group can check the front gate, the pathways and the whomping willow except I wouldn't send them on their own."

The idea of a kid getting thwacked over the head by the angry tree wasn't pretty.


"I have a name for every day of the week," he whispered sarcastically to the map, tracing the paths. "Sometimes I'm Jones, sometimes I'm Juice, sometimes I'm Lola."

When went over it all in her head. Red if they were being attacked by something rather bad. Green if they found someone. Blue if they were... wrong, right? Yes. That was it.

The choices of search sounded relatively nice. Well, certainly not dangerous. Her life wasn't really threatened. That was a good thing... generally. Yes. A good thing.

Lyra quickly turned her attention back to Josh. "Ummm, I will go with you," she began pushing her hair behind her ears. She listened as the plans began.

Lyra nodded her head with a quick "Yes". This was it. They were beginning as she heard Fabian say that some would be without professors.

Max nodded his head. "Good idea," he said and looked at the staff who were in the room. "Besides myself and Fabian, are any of you fair fliers? We can divide the kids into three or four groups and cover more ground."

" Alright sounds good. lets go." he told her as he headed to the exit as he had heard Fabian. It sounded like they were free to look to him.He was ready to get out and start looking.he turned around to tell her where he was going to look, just in case they got separated." Im thinking the lake by the forest." he knew she wasnt a fan of the forest, but he was wanting to look near the forest. he then motioned her as he left off towards the lake.

When asked if there were any fair flyers in the room, Curt nodded his head and walked up to Vindictus. "Yeah Professor I'd say I can fly pretty well." he said with a small smile, turning back to Savannah, as he knew she was a great flyer as well, and hoped she'd join the ariel search as well. If she didn't want to, he'd understand, as he knew she still had that fear of heights in the back of her mind. "What are you going to do Vannah?" he asked, before feeling another cough fit coming on, and turned away to prevent 'anything' from getting on her or anyone,

"I'll go on broom." Savannah said, refraining from saying again how he really shouldn't be out in the cold. She knew he wasn't going to back down from searching with them, and she wouldn't push that.

"Alright." Immediate help, red sparks. Found animal, green sparks. False alarm, blue sparks. "As ready as possible" Savannah added confidently, turning her gaze from Curt to Professor Vindictus. "I'll be one of the flyer's, if that's alright." She wouldn't deny flying in the snow made her slightly nervous, but that didn't matter she would get over it, this was for Alexis, Ariana, and the rest of the people they would be searching for.

"Broom, broom, broom," she sang, bouncing on her heels. "I laik brooms." When hadn't had the time to fly around much lately. She missed it. "I like broooom." She glanced at the boy talking to Savannah. "Hullo good sir. I don't think I know you."

Then she frowned slightly. She would have to seeee people from high up... Where had her glasses gotten to? When dug through her pockets. Hopefully she'd bother to bring them along. Then again, she might have left them in her school bag. Nope. Nope. There they were.

Juno who was standing behind the two rather eager students rolled his eyes. "He was talking to the other Professors you - poka-tello rejects." He had the great urge to smack the kids up side their head when Whende spoke up.

"Whende, calm down or they might not let you got a all."

Whende swallowed her hyperactivity. "Juno," she said, matter-of-factly. "You're amazing." At least he was the first to recognize her despite the hair. That had to count for something. Then again. She was being quite beyond her normal hyper. "Right. Calm..." she was quiet for a moment. "Can I give you a hug for your awesome amazing skills?"

Curt smirked as the Ravenclaw Prefect tried to tell him and Savannah off, "Sorry, I don't know who died and crowned you king. But as far as I know, there are missing students, and I'm sure the professor's could use as many 'fair fliers' as they need. So really, I'm so sorry to try and makes things faster and more efficient." Curt shook his head at the boy, he really couldn't believe the kid was acting this way, they needed to join together, not fight!

Curt sneezed into his sleeve once again and turned back to the older Gryffindor girl and smiled, "No I don't think we've met. I'm Curt." he said with a bright nod, "And I would shake your hand, but trust me, you wouldn't want to do that." he said, looking at his discusting and slightly wet sleeve.

Savannah's cheeks warmed slightly, though already colored from the cold weather she had just been in abit before. "Well, then please excuse me for misunderstanding" She mumbled back to the Ravenclaw Prefect (with no hint of sarcasm, mind you). Fidgetting with the gold and black scarf wrapped around her neck, the fourth year pulled it up some to cover her mouth as she observed quietly.

Max had been discussing the search plan with the other teachers and overheard the exchange. "There's no call for rudeness while we finalize our plans," he said and made it clear that the professors did not need to be interrupted. "Just sit back and wait for us to give further instructions."

Sam stood quietly next to Savannah as she began to blush. She bit her lip. Looking over to Curt as he spoke, she chuckled a little. She then turned back to her cousin. "So are you flying or walking Vannah?" she asked. She had a feeling that she was going to fly, same with Curt. That boy was born in the sky.

Curt nodded his head to Vindictus, and turned to the Ravenclaw Prefect and perked up his eyebrows up as to almost say, 'You started it.' before turning back around to Savannah, saying to her quietly and wearily. "I think this is all going to my head." he said with a very faint smile. Curt took another swig of his hot cocoa and took a deep inhalation, which was immediately interrupted by another series of cough's.

Curt smiled at Sam, "You going to fly as well?" he said, a tad more cheerily now. He was glad he managed to get some of his rage out about missing the Quidditch match out.
