"I hope you're right Issy," Sabrina said whistfully. "I want to be in that castle exploring it's treasures and secrets." She had to laugh at the professor when she said that they could use the notes as fire starters, "No Professor I'll keep mine and draw more pictures of Hogwarts on it if you don't mind," she told her.

She looked at her picture, really proud of herself. She couldn't draw by hand but she learned how to draw with her wand from her sisters. Her things always turned out better when she did it that way. "Thank you so much Professor." She was having a great day today. "Seeing Hogwarts again inspired me." She said staring fondly up at the turrets and the towers. She looked over at the lake picturing the Slytherin common room underneath it with its soft green glow and warm fire.

"Nor can I mine," Issy told the girl not too far from her. "But hey! Professor Lainey wants us to have fun - I'm sure she's not awarding our points based on how well we drew them."

So she hoped. Some of the drawings the girls were procuring looked like they'd taken days to do.

She was finished drawing the castle, her brow furrowed with concentration. Suddenly she stood up, her eyes creasing slightly as she looked around. "No, no this won't do. I can't see the Whomping Willow!" she exclaimed, moving her hand to her eyes, shielding the light from them as she looked in vain. "Grrr, I wish we could go past these gates." she muttered to Issy, glaring at the iron monstrosities blocking her.

She looked startled that so many people were finished, "Wow, I feel bad for taking so long." she sighed, looking down at her half finished piece. She stopped sketching and looked at the castle, memories flying through her ind. Flying. Yes she had been flying. Oh boy how she had missed that.

Alexis grinned. Yes! The teacher liked her drawing...even though it was oddly strange. But it WAS Hogwarts. And they WERE here. Which meant one thing. Professor Lainey ROCKED!

Grumbling about how she had no more green ink, she sighed and stoppered the bottle. Thank god Issy had offered them her colorful selection of inks. Making a mental note to buy a few more green ink bottles and to buy Issy a few too, she started on her drawing, grimacing as she did it. No, that tower didn't go there. And that window did not look proportional to everything else. Sighing, she continued with her work.

Signing her name in an off-purple color, Rapunzel grinned and leapt up from her rock.

"I finished mine, Professor! And I labeled the awesomest parts of Hogwarts too," she added with a mischievious giggle.

Shyly she stopped holding the drawing to her chest and dared show it, partially even. "I certainly hope so--I'm not sure I drew very accurately."

Yup. Definitely looked like a prison ward.

Draw a picture? Of Hogwarts? Their beloved Hogwarts? Eep! Evangeline hated drawing .. she was rubbish at it and she knew it. But this .. this actually sounded like fun! As she crinkled her nose in concentration, looking down at her parchment, she had a feeling that it had to do with the fact that Hogwarts was there.

Finally, she finished and, lifting her parchment, showed it to Ellie unware of the ink she now had on her face.



"Do you like it, Ell?" She asked the girl, with a silly grin on her face. Yes, she knew her drawing was rubbish. But she did not care in that moment.

wow guys those are amazing I still haven't finished mine

'Ok so we have to draw' thought Oya. She was day dreaming so she didn't hear anything! She looked around saw some students and tapped one on the shoulder
"Excuse me what are we suppose to do ?"= whispered Oya to the person in front of her...

"Draw a picture of Hogwarts," Sabrina said as a girl tapped her on the shoulder. "I'm Sabrina by the way."

Turning to Melly, Issy sadly shook her head. "No... I don't think so," she told the small girl sadly. "See, it's locked. Guess the Ministry doesn't want any of us to go in there." Sighing softly, she looked back down at her drawing and hugged it dearly. Suddenly, being so close to Hogwarts and yet so far from it made her feel sad.

Rupunzels drawing made her even sadder... boys and girls playing together. Blinking, she was curious as to why her vision was all blurry, not wanting to admit at first that she was upset, but sure enough, the tears built and let go of her lashes.

Furtivly, she used her palms to wipe her cheeks as she nodded also at her other friends. How she wanted to get in there. Rising from the ground, carefully tucking her drawing in her bag, she walked over to the gate and grasped the iron bars, leaning against it, poking her head between them best she could.

How she wished she could be there. With Samson and Gavin and Mister Ryan and Aiden and all those other annoying boys she'd never liked. Again, she wiped her tears - they wouldn't stop falling.

Krissy loved being creative. She wished she still had that tapestry she made last year. It depicted Hogwarts at night perfectly. alas that was with Helios over at the boy's school and all she had was a photo she had taken of it before she gifted it to him. Even more unfortunately, the photo was in her dorm room.
Pulling out her colored pencils she smiled and began to draw.
Paying special attention to the stained glass and brickwork she sighed happily. when she was done she held up her sketch for the professor shyly.


"Is this alright professor?" Krissy giggled.

The brunette girl moved her eyes from her drawing to Evangeline.
"Apple, I love it." she said with an honest smile. "Its really pretty."
It was quite pretty in fact.
Draw Hogwarts has harder that what Ellie thought it would be.

"Mine is not done yest." she told Evangeline as she moved her eyes to the castle.

"How is this professor?" Liz says after finishing her drawing of Hogwarts.

Oh hello! Said Oya to Sabrina "I'm Oya Nice to meet you. Thanks for the info"- she whispered and started drawing. After a few minutes she looked at the girl in front of her. What house are you in Sabrina?

Allie looked up at the school. She wished that she could be spendign her firt year at Hogwarts not Belle's. She started drawing the school,
When she was done she said, "Is this OK professor?"

Melina kept staring at the castle, unable to tear her eyes away from there even though she could hear the girls talking, some rather loudly. All of her senses were concentrated in Hogwarts, while her mind was busy imagining all sorts of things she'd be able to do in those beautiful green grounds and on that enormous lake. Knowing the weather in the United Kingdom, she was certain that those waters would freeze during winter and that it would be the most enjoyable place to feel fresh in a hot summer day.

Yes, that had been the place where she had pictured herself and Allie in, and it seemed like she'd have to wait longer until she was able to know what happiness would be there, according to what Issy had just said.

Hearing her friend speak, she did nothing but give her a brief nod before turning her back to the castle for a moment while she sat down and took out her pencils as well as her notebook. It was better to draw that picture, right?

However, for a while, she did nothing but sit on the ground and keep staring at the fairytale castle ahead, a small, sad smile upon her lips. "It must be fun," She whispered loudly to herself. "Staying there." And then, she bend her head and started to draw.

Lola scribbled laboriously-----even furiously to achieve a happiness with herself again! Commemorate Hogwarts she would! This would be one crickey of a drawing! She was sure of it! "Dun dun dun....la la laaaaaaa," she sang to herself, combing hair delicately from her alabaster face as her acid green quill cycled through colors and completed this result: Hmm, being creative always ruined her nails, she thought with woe, appreciating her work with a 'experts' eye. "Perfect," she chirped. Artistry was so lovely, wasn't it? Too bad Lola was married to the dream of Hollywood.

All too pleased, Lola rose, dancing happily over to the professor. "How's this for our castle?" she asked, eyes shining with the emotion of it all. No acting. No lines. Lola Demesne wanted her Hogwarts back.

Now this is more like it Nikita thought happily. However, Hogwarts didn't deserve to be drawn on the back of notes about the minister. Hogwarts deserved its own paper. And, chances were that the page of notes was sitting ruined at the bottom of her bag by now.

Nikita sat contentedly on her rock and drew the school she should be in right now, learning the proper, traditional lessons. If she couldn't be in Hogwarts, seeing it was the next best thing.

Eva liked to draw.
She started to draw her old school and the place where she was hoping to go back.
The drawings wasn't staying good. Eva tried once more to do that.



The drawing wasn't as she wanted.

Ellie loved it? Hah. Evangeline wasn't totally sure of the honesty of the girl's words, but she couldn't really be bothered anyway. Not when Hogwarts was right there infront of her. "Thanks." She replied, leaning back on her hands and looking over at Ellie's drawing. "It's looking good, though." She nodded, her own drawing still on her lap.

There she was done. Holding it up for inspection, she winced slightly when she saw some of the other drawings that were being handed in. "Wow." She said, seeing some of them. How did they do it so well?

"Here Professor." She said, getting up from her spot on the grass and walked over to where her Professor was sitting. Handing her the drawing, she continued to look at some that were handed in.

Finally, thought Katrina, takng a last look at her rough, yet pretty passable drawing. She looked back up at the school and sighed. She was so happy that Professor Lainey had gotten them here- she so rocked for that!- but she couldn't get inside. And everyone else made it sound so lovely, and she had heard her mother say so much about it...... she felt like she wanted to cry. She hated this new school, she hated the Minister and his wife for doing this to them!
But getting emotional would have to come later. Walking over to the teacher, she said," Professor, is this o-okay?" Why was her voice shaking? Was she crying? No, she wasn't, thank goodness! She waited for the teacher's response to her drawing, hoping she hadn't noticed her voice shake.
