Ohemgee, Bia did the female version of a bow, super cute. His grin spread across his face as her gorgeous hair floated in air. His muscles were starting to ache due the frequent grins and smiles but he couldn't help it, Bia was such an adorable girl.

His blue eyes twinkled at the sight of an squealing Bianca, aww he really felt proud when someone else found his pets cute, wonder what she would think if she got hold of his owl, Punky and lets not forget his baby girl, Piper. Blake surely was one huge pet lover and it was totally evident when Punky fell ill a few days back before the term started.

"Thank you, Tazzie thinks you're a cutie too, isn't it Taz?" He asked, scratching Tazzie's head gently, "I got him on my thirteenth birthday." He informed, looking at Tazzie, who was sorta trying to cling to Bianca's cheek but kept on failing, aww poor Taz. "This might sound super weird but I kinda form a weird connection with my pets and we start to understand each other even though we can't interpret the languages." O__O let's hope she doesn't freak out.

She luffs nicknames? WOOT! Blake loved to nickname people even if they met a few seconds back, just like he did now. Nicknames held a special spot in his life as at home, he was sporting a bajillion nicknames, most of them were extremely embarrassing..pfft.

Sir Blakey? can she get anymore cuter? Hell yes! "Sir Blakey? I don't mind at all annd I'll call you Captain Bia, how's that?" Blake wiggled his eyebrows slightly and wiinked. He narrowed his eyebrows as he watched Bia's finger as it came closer to his eyes, ohh eep HAAALP! She's not going to poke him in the eye, is she?

It took him a minute to understand what she just said pointing at his eyes but soonish it dawned upon him that she thought his eyes were purrddy, "Umm Thank You, it's really sweet of you. You want to go through the maze? I wanna get lost." Blushy Blakey asked shyly and sighed.

Fia gasped in happiness as Theo talked about his father playing Quidditch. "Really? He did? Oh I would love to meet him one day.". She was so excited about Quidditch and it's players she almost made a big deal about it all the time. "I actually hope you make the team. It would be fun to watch you play.". She was all giddy inside and was proud to watch Theo in action.

"You know, Miles and I went in the Quidditch shop. Mr. Denver did look familiar," she said as she leaned into him. "Miles was trying to buy the brooms that was for older people but Mr. Denver wouldn't let him.". Poor thing looked like he was so disappointed. She took a few more steps and listened to his next question.

"Nope. I'm an only child," she smiled as she squeezed his hand lightly. "I live with my father who is just the best daddy ever.". She loved her father dearly but wasn't ready to speak of her mother just yet, but she knew it was going to be a question.

Theo nodded, "He did. He played for the Ballycastle Bats. I have an old kit of his. Its a very old kit. Nia has his newest one. She does like quidditch more than me. I want to be a spaceman. Not a quidditch player." He smiled, "I hope you get on the team too. I would love to watch you playing. I would cheer you on, with a BIG banner." He would paint it himself. It would be amazing.

Theo laughed a bit, "My daddy told me he was working there. Before Daddy left the ministry. He looks after Nate now." He shook his head, "Marco plays by the rules. Especially when it comes to broom selling. Professor Vindictus is his idol. I read it in a magazine. I think it was the most recent copy of Quidditch World." Theo frowned to himself. She kept leaning into him. Was she sick? He wasn't complaining against the closeness, but it was good to know, if she was sick.

"I live with my daddy too. And my mummy and Nate and Nia. I would love to meet your daddy if he is the best one ever," Theo smiled. He had learnt that if someone didn't live with one of their parents, they were usually dead. So he didn't ask that question incase she ran away and hid from him. He didn't want to not see Fia.

Blush. Blush. Tazzie thought she was cutee? AWWW. Or did Blakey think she was cute? Gigglesnort. As Tazzie attempted to cling to her cheek, Bianca bought her slender hands up, and wrapped them around him, holding him in place. "Is that better little guy?" She asked, tickling him on the stomach, knowing perfectly well that he couldn't answer back. "I don't think it's weird at all, I think it's cool that you've got that type of connection with your animals," Bianca answered Blake with a nod. If only she had had enough money to buy a kitten and she might've had that connection. Sniffle. OH WELL. Next trip out of Hogwarts. Squeeee.

Captain Bia? EEEE. Bianca loved itt. She was so excited that she had to push off the urge to engulf him in a hug. "I am in love with my nicknamee," Bianca said with a little giggle. "We shall be Sir Blakey, and Captain Bia, keepers of the maze," She said with a cheeky grin, and shifting her eyes. Sneaky, sneaky.

Shaking her head, Bianca shook a leaf out that had fallen on her head and watched it fall to the ground, amongst several other leaves. Twitch. Twitch. They were not in order, or in a neat pile. A slender hand reached up to her golden locks, and she began to twirl a section in her fingers. Oh, how embarrassing, she was talking to a cute, veryyy cute boy, and her stupid OCD complex decided to kick in. Deep breaths. With a fleeting look, she bent down and rearranged the leaves in a nice neat little pile. Sighing deeply, she stood back up, wavering a little. Head rush. But that was better. Much better. It was a perfect pile of leaves.

Get losttt? Bianca had been lost about a bajillion times today as it was, but at least this way she wasn't getting lost by herself. Snicker. "I would love toooo," she said in a quiet voice, pale pink rising to her cheeks. Holding out a slender hand for Blake to hold, Bianca smiled timidly. If she was going to get lost, she was not going to get seperated. Gigglesnort. "Should we go this way first?" Bianca asked, pointing down a long stretch of leafy corridor, which was in the middle of about three others.

Vivianne turned back to the Ravenclaw girl...she still doesn't know her name yet she seemed nice. "You reminded me of someone from Ravenclaw," she smiled. "She graduated already." She thought about asking about the one singing... "Who owns the voice by the way?" She wasn't going to say anything bad, just wanted to know. "Did you heard the singing? Or was i the only one who heard it?"

Join the escape? That's fun... She hadn't had so much adventure for a long while. "I'm Vivianne and you are?"

"Now i wouldn't mind getting lost since i have company." She remembered Livvy, "Oh and this is my friend Livvy. She's from Ravenclaw like you, perhaps you know her?"

Fia had that big bright smile plastered to her face. Theo was the sweetest, not that Miles wasn't and that was one thing about Theo. He wasn't Miles. Both of them were different. Miles was her playful side of things and Theo was bringing out her giddy side, something she didn't know she had.

"Oh Mr. Denver does live by the rules," she shook her head but didn't offer anything about the story she knew. Everything worked out just the way Miles planned it and that was it. "I will have to talk to him the next time I see him. He was very nice."

She then shook her head about Theo meeting her father. Now that would be interesting. The only one he'd ever met before was Miles. MilesMilesMiles! Hmmm...that sounded familiar.

"Come on, let's play in the corn stalks." She began to run slightly, not too fast, not too slow. She wanted to have a little bit of fun and she wanted to see what he would do.

Shrugging, Jake made a face. "Iunno, maybe," he replied, trying to keep a straight face as he watched LouAnn go all in the corn. So, she liked it too, huh? Wonderful!

Shaking his head and smiling a bit, Jake replied, "Nahh. I don't copy. I was just trying to see how we did... whatever it was we were doing. I kind of... lost concentration."

Alex was standing at the edge of the Maze a wide smile on her face.

A maze!! How awesome!! Really what would the groundskeeper come up with next? She giggled happily, and entered the maze, She spun around a little, her blonde hair flying. "Weee!!" She cried as she took off running gracefully, darting around corners her hair flying and her giggles ringing out.

Hogwarts was sooo much fun!!! "YAY!!!" She giggled more as she ran around another corner, Her gray eyes alight with happiness.

Torin was standing in the middle of the corn maze, looking at corn. Because he was bored and this was a good place for him to get away from Reese and her clinging to him.

He was just thinking that he was starting to get hungry - which was the problem with staring at corn - when suddenly she heard someone coming towards him fast.

A girl was coming towards him and was going to crash and burn into him!

Theo was smiling happily. He liked spending time with Fia. She was fun. And she was nice to him. She did come with Miles, who was weird and a bit odd. But he didn't have to see Miles. He could spend time with Fia alone. Like right now.

He nodded, "Marco is nice. I met him after a game once. He was a bit sweaty and gross. But he was nice none-the-less." It was true. Marco had just won a game though. So he was bound to be nice.

He frowned. Fia didn't want Theo to meet her daddy? That would be fine. She could meet his daddy. And see how awesome he is. Was Fia ashamed of Theo? Was it because he was stupid? Yep that would be it. Maybe her daddy only liked smart people, like Miles the Ravenclaw.

Then she ran off, still holding his hand. She was smaller than him, but she'd still probably drag him along. He quickly follow behind her. Then he realised she wanted to run through the field. He ran up behind her and scooped her up into his arms. They could run quicker that way.

Skip! Skip! Skippety skip!! Yes, Lucy was indeed skipping along freely through...wait, what was this place? She had never seen it before! Then again she never did do much exploring around the school in the past. So, like...what was this place again? Lucy looked out across to see tons of yelowness around her. Plants...WAAAAAAIT. It's corn!! Tons of corn! Oh, yummy. Corn corn coooorn. As least corn wasn't the color orange. She hated orange. Yuck. Such a disgusting color. But yellow!! Ah, yellow corn.

But why were there so many stalks of corn planted in the middle of nothingness? She looked around and began walking through the stalks, only the find herself stuck at a certain point which required her to go one of two ways. Was this maze?

GASP.

Well, Lucy really had no opinion on mazes. This, to be honest, was her first encountering of a maze. Like, a real maze. Not the rinky-dink mazes found at on the kid's meal on a big huge poster thing that restaurants and fast-food places in muggle world gave out. No. This was real. But why was there no one around? She thought she hear distant voices but...no one was in close range of her. Where were theeeeey?!

Skip! Skip! Skippety, skip!!

Adrienne tilted her head curiously as the Gryffindor girl from outside the maze said she had reminded her of someone. "A Ravenclaw who graduated already?" She couldn't remember anyone who she would have thought seemed like her, but maybe some people saw her difeerently than she saw herself. Or even how Riley saw her, since she was fairly certain the percentage of people who thought she was a robot was fairly slim. Like, just Riley. But then the conversation had gone on to the topic of the singing, and she grinned. "I heard the singing. Lyra was trying to get you to follow her voice."

It seemed that her teasing comment about escaping the maze had hit a chord, or she didn't hear anyone disagreeing. Smiling as the Gryffindor introduced herself, she held a hand out. "Adrienne Mercer. It's nice to meet you, Vivianne." As the concept of getting lost came up again, she laughed. "Company's always good, but I do think we'd rather be able to sleep in our dorms tonight, instead of out here," she said before turning to the other girl who had also joined them. Livvy, as Vivianne had said. "You signed up for Quidditch tryouts, right?" It was a complete guess, but maybe she was the one who had signed up before she did.

Alex had just rounded the corner, happily speeding around the maze, when suddenly, there was a boy in her path???

What? When had he gotten there??

BRAKES!!

With a grace no normal person had, Alex stopped dead in her tracks not a foot from the boy. She laughed a little, as she tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder. "Sorry about that! I didn't see you there." She said with a wide, happy smile.

As Alex looked up she took a closer look at his boy whom she had nearly run into the corn.. Ahhhh Cute Boy!!! YES!!!!

Ahh gotta love corn!

Jake was proving to be a really fun person to be around. LouAnn liked the way he seemed to throw all caution to the wind, yet at the same time, he was very honest and serious, too. "I don't mind you looking on my parchment to see what we're doing in class. It's just that, well, I think I might be a little behind all the others in my year. My mum was a great teacher, but you just can't compare being home-schooled to going to a regular school. I keep thinking that I don't really know enough to actually be a fifth year," she said, shrugging. "Although, I got an O on my first Arithmancy homework!"

"Hey, Jake? I'll race ya through the corn!" she said, giving him a look that said she was challenging him to a race. "On the count of three, 'kay? One, two---..." LouAnn took off on the count of two, laughing lightheartedly as she dashed through the corn stalks. "Come on, Jake! Run!"

One moment the Ravenclaw girl had been talking to Via and then the next moment. SHA-ZAAAAM! She was gone! Likkke.... liiike. Well she didn't know like what... but it was CUH-RAZZZEH! Livvy didn't know what to think. Did someone come over and pick her up or somethiin'? OR OR! Apparation! But... that wasn't possible at Hogwarts. Whoops.

So... she decided to go look for the girl.

"VIIIIIAAA!!!! VIIIIIAA! Don't leave ya Livveh behind!" she yelled out, as she launched herself into the big ol' scary field of corn. Running around, blindly, Livvy held out her hands in front of her as she ran around the maze. And. AH!

"THEEERRREEE YA ARE!" Livvy exclaimed, as she ran over to where Via stood, along with a few more girls. Oh. Er. Um. Yo.

Smiling, she just shrugged and brushed it away. "Ehh... It's okay. I found you now so it doesn't really matter. So long as you weren't abducted by aliens or something... it's cool," she said, humorously.

At the mention of Via's sister once more, Livvy nodded her head as she listened. Ohhhh.... so she had a sister, eh? Well... that was cool. Plus it was a BIG sister... not a younger sister. Younger siblings were just pain in the necks. OH YAH. She knew. She knew alright. "Hmm. Well I'm sure you'll find some time, one day."

Breathing out, Livvy just shrugged. "Yeah... sort of? We've sort of fallen out for a while. I never found out what happened to Kairi. And Jenn and Sydnie? I"m not so sure what happened there, but Sydnie transferred to another school and well Jenn and I just sort of grew apart," she said, a bit sadly. She had been careful not to mention a word about Rachel. She didn't want to talk about it. Much less think about it.

OH RIGHT. Where were her manners?

"Hi there, Lyra! I'm Livvy," she said, grinning widely and then looked to the other girl that stood next to them. Livvy noticed the Ravenclaw badge on her robes. Ooh. Goody. 'CLAW POWA!!

But what the girl said next, took her by surprise. WHOA. How did SHHHHEE know? Was she like a stalker or something? A PSYCHIC? SCHWEEETT!

Grinning, Livvy nodded her head. "Um. Yeah. How'd you know that?"

"Yeah... I know," Jake nodded, before hurriedly correcting himself. "I mean, I know what it's like to be homeschooled. My mother... well... I was educated at home from when I was 8 until just before I turned eleven. Not quiiiiite the same as when you're older... but yeah."

As LouAnn mentioned probably not knowing enough to be a fifth year, Jake raised and eyebrow and looked up at her. "I've been called a squib, you know? I'm worried they'll kick me out if I can't make some magic soon," he admitted, frowning a second.

When LouAnn mentioned her homework, Jake thought for a moment or two until he realised the crazy girl had run off through the corn. "Whaaaa-?" he gasped stupidly, before realising what she had meant and sprinting on after her. "Cheeeeeeeaterrrrrrr!" he joked, giggled as he laughed. Oh, Jake loved a good run.

LouAnn heard most of what Jake was telling heard, even though it was hard to properly listen while running through the corn stalks. Up ahead, she saw a group of people chatting and dashed to the side before running right into them. Running through the corn stalks was the first sign that LouAnn was sort of, kind of, maybe getting used to her new school. She laughed at being called a cheater, then ran a little faster through the maze.

A minute or so later, LouAnn came to a sudden stop and turned towards where Jake was. "A squib? Of course you're not a squib, or else you wouldn't have been admitted into the school. What are you having trouble with?" she asked. "I think I'll have trouble with Ancient Runes and Divination. My mum didn't teach any of that to Lucas and me."

Adrienne lapsed into silence as the girl who had just been introduced to her as Livvy the Ravenclaw started talking, seeming to be quite energetic, almost to the point of it being exhausting to keep up. At least they hadn't started walking again, or she was going to have to use more than just her theory to get out of the maze. And, in fact, she had let a tiny bit of her legilimency out again, simply to see if thoughts could give her some clue as to how close they were to getting out. But instead, she caught a bit of Livvy's thoughts, and smiled a little as the girl turned to her and nodded, a bit amused by the idea of being thought psychic.

"I signed up right after someone named Olivia. So I assumed that was possibly you," she explained, figuring there was no reason to make up some sort of story just to help the other girl's theories along. Besides, she figured someone was going to find out about her sooner or later, even without her actually saying something. Who's to say Riley or Chloe wouldn't accidentally say something?, she thought, Although, with Riley it probably wouldn't be an accident. Depending on what he's thinking at the time. She never put anything past her brother, even though she had managed to foil quite a few of his plans over the years.

Running... running... runni-... fallinnggggg...

"ACK!" Jake exclaimed as he fell to the floor and landed on his butt when LouAnn suddenly just... stopped. "You know, I'm starting to associate you with e ending up on the floor," he giggled, pushing himself back up. In all reality he ended up on the floor a looooooooot. Nothing to do with LouAnn.

So there.

...

No, I don't know either.

Shrugging, Jake poked at a piece of corn. "Well, I figured because I'm pureblood, they would automatically have my name down, you know? And if it was obvious I couldn't do magic, they'd get rid of me," he said quietly, before setting off again and beckoning LouAnn to follow, speaking in a more confidently. "I can do the theory stuff, no problem. But I can't make any magic work."

He stopped walking suddenly. "But, when I get on a broom... it flies. Does that count?"

LouAnn gasped in mock-surprise when Jake tumbled to the ground. What was it with this boy always falling down every time she was around him? Well, to be fair, she'd only been around him twice. He'd fallen both times, though. Maybe he was one of those people who always had trouble standing on their own two feet. Or maybe he was just your typical thirteen-year-old boy, always hyperactive and full of energy. She laughed when he said pretty much the same thing she'd just been thinking. "You okay?" she asked, although, she was pretty sure a little fall hadn't hurt him too much.

"So did they not already have your name down?" she continued. She wondered if her name had really been down on paper when she was about to turn eleven-years-old. If it was, and if she had received her acceptance letter all those years ago, she imagined her parents hid the letter from her so as not to disappoint her. The letters probably stopped coming when the school found out she was on the run. "What do you mean you can't make magic work? And yes, getting a broom to fly is very much magic."

"I'm fine," Jake grinned, brushing a few pieces of dirt from his clothes and shaking out his hair. "Nothing I'm not used to," he added, shoving his hands into his pockets.

Making a face a the question, Jake make a non-committal noise. "Iunno," he responded finally, shrugging. He never had really found out much, but he knew that kids from wizarding families had their names down to attend Hogwarts since birth. Deciding to move on with the next thing, Jake glanced at LouAnn. "I try and do magic, but nothing happens, or if it does happen, my wand reacts badly, explodes stuff and the like... tries to tell me I shouldn't be using it," Jake mused, dejectedly.

He was bracing himself for a collision when she suddenly stopped right in front of him. Talk about a close call!

"Er, hi," he said to the pretty blonde that almost ran him over. And he had no idea why she had been running in a field of corn in the first place.

Fia squeaked as she felt Theo pick her up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and hung on. She giggled, laughed, did everything a girl who was as happy as she was at this moment would be.

"Go that way," she pointed in one direction. If they got lost and it was a dead end then they tried it anyway. If he wanted to go the opposite direction, that was fine as well. She wasn't picky.

Alex smiled her most winning smile, minus the Veela charm of course.. What good would that do? "Hello." She said with a warm smile. "I am Alexandrina Elizabeth Kensington." She said looking him over. "But you can call me, anything you feel like really, Alex, Drina, Dri..Whatever.." She shrugged, so far two boys had made up two different nick names for her.

She tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder. "Are you sure you are alright?" She asked him.. looking at him carefully..

MERLIN! SO HOT!!!

Alex was doing her best not to drool.

He couldn't help but return the smile. "Nice to meet you. I'm Torin Kane. And you can call me anything you like as well." Why not? He already had someone calling him Torinella. But that was a secret that he was taking with him to his grave.

"Yes, I'm fine. You just startled me. I'm not used to pretty girls running towards me through corn fields."
