"Nice to meet you Iris. I'm Freya" Freya smiled. She listened carefully when Iris explain to them how to build the camp. They would do this in a muggle way?YAAAAYYYYYYYY..!!!she was so happy. She began to pick up the pole for the base. She looked the number carefully so she won't misplace the pole

Yes, and I will not be responsible for the consequences.

Neptune LOOKED at the Professor. Pretty as she was, maybe she wasn't so smart, this Professor? Oh well. Slowly, Neptune said her name, "Neptune Bott."

She didn't add the DUUUUHHH for punctuation. But she did give the Professor an encouraging smile.

Anywho.

Some older girl was being friendly in Jim's direction. Typical, sure, he WAS so handsome. But surely she knew they - Neptune and Jimmy - were building a two person tent. 1. Neptune, 2. Jimmy. She sent Jimmy the get rid of her? look, but thankfully she wandered off on her own.

So. NOW. To tent building! Neptune hopped off her pillow and grabbed up a long stick-y looking thing. Looked like it would be good for hitting people with... or.... prodding. Neptune skipped back over to Jimmy and PRODDED him with the stick. "Jiiiiiiiim," whiiiiiiine, "build me a tent." And cue cutesy!pouts.

She put the stake in the ground with a big JAB, claiming their spot.

Cass grinned "Thank you. Do you need any help with the painting?"

Lucy was happy to know that professor liked her tent and said "Thank you Professor"

Lucy looked around to see if anyone needed her help. She walked to the girl next to her and said "Hi! i'm Lucy, you need any help?" she asked.

She was at the edge of the lake looking for a good place to put her tent. She found a spot near some of the other tents and started to take out her poles and layed them out in order that she knew she needed. She rolled out her tent and placed it flat on the ground. She was doing so well. the professor was walking around by the time she would get the her then she would be almost done.

"Nice to meet you too, Freya."

Okay. Now, BACK TO THE BUILDING! Yaaay. Hehe. Iris picked up a bunch of the poles, and sorted them out with the numbers. Then she handed some to the other girls, and started to put her own ones where they should be.

"Tadaahhh!" She said, grinning at the two first years. "Hehe. Looks like we've got ourselves a Teepee tent!" Hehe. Just like those indian tribes...

Iris looked at yet ANOTHER first year as she asked to help. "Oooh, yeah. Do help. More people equals a more awesome tent." Well, kinda.

Now that all the poles were up, they had to put the fabricky bit on top of tent and pin it down. *nodnod*

"Aww thank you", Fee smiled at Cass,"where is your tent?"
"Freya", she smiled widely.

They where pitching TENTS!!!!

How freakin cool was this? Too freakin cool.

Arms full of everything she noticed that her best friend didn't have, she unceremoniously dropped it all on the ground with a grin. "This is just like when we went camping!" Minus the horses and her family, so not as fun as then, but still awesome cause they were at Hogwarts. Pulling out the polls for the tent, she began to piece them together. Yes, she knew she could use magic, but there were some things that were much more fun doing the muggle way, and camping was one of them.

"Do we wanna makeshift sofa or sleep under the stars?" Where they really gonna sleep outside, that would be awesome. Arya grinned at the girl who was already asking Ivy to join in on the tent pitching.

Cass looked over the debutante pink tent with tulips by its entrance "That one" She told Fee. "the one next to the tree and the river."

Sweet? Daniel didn't like sweet but he could live with it. Um upside down? It was? "I knew that" Daniel said quickly "Just testing you" he said. Ugh. Everyone said that. What a rubbish thing to say.

Daniel quickly flipped his pole over and was suprised at how easy it was to make it go through the hole. There done. Daniel stood back to watch the others do their bit.
Oh and the other boy was done too. Mia if that was her name still had to help out. Just because she was a girl didn't mean she shouldn't help. Daniel watched silently as Finn worked.

I'm Amy Goldblossom she said happily she looked down at the tent all crumpled in a heap "eek i guess I'm pretty bad at this stuff"

Setting up a tent site, that was one thing Patroclus knew he could do. With or Without magic.

Being the son of an Archaelogist, who spend half his time on digs, the art of pitching, became well tuned.

Patroclus licked his finger, and held it in the air. As it dried he was able to sort out the wind direction, and knowing that was essential. Next the boy selected a perfect spot, he oriented his plot so that it would have water views, but also so that it was high enough back from the water level, to protect it from damp and also the chance of a high tide, as the Professor said, it was a river after all.

Walking over to the collection of materials, Patroclus surveyed waht was on offer, and decided that a Boudain style tent would be perfect. A style typcial employed the Deserts, by Nomads for their ease and speed of assembly, Patroclus had spent lots of time in their airy yet strudy walls in his child hood.


Assembling his things, the boy set to work, laying the basis, a dry tarp, then erected wooden structures that would suffice to carry the wieght of the fabric. Patroclus had selected a lovely cotton blend as the tent material, a rich red that expressed his house pride.


As the son began to set, Patroclus stepped back and marveled at his work, His tent was good enough for a King, and large enough to fit a royal court as well.

"Fine! I'll do it without magic! Thank goodness I went camping before." She walked towards the tent and took her wand out pointing it at it. The tent was not a human so she could practice this spell, "Engorgio!" She cried and closed her eyes.

Two seconds later, she opened them to find the it was a perfect spell. She grinned, "Look! I did it! It's bigger!" She told Enya bouncing excitedly.

So, what now? Hmm.. the flowers were really nice but the color was not very appealing. How about green? They were outside anyways, and nature was represented by green. Now how do we make the tent green? Maybe she could use this spell Professor Tate taught them that lesson. Smirk. And she'd paint the tent in green.

The spell hit the tent and made a green splash. Smiling widely, Louisa continued painting the tent carefully not to let the flowers vanish by the paint spell.

Five mins later, they had a green flowery tent that looked like this
Louisa stood in front of it grinning proudly. "Look Enya! Do you like it? You think it's ok?" She asked the girl sitting behind her.

Iris smiled at the girl. "Nice to meet you Amy." She giggled at the girls words. "Ah, don't worry. We've pretty much thrown it up now." She said.

"Now, I'll need your help with this bit. There's too much canvas for me to levitate on my own." Looking to her little crew of Firsties, Iris took out her wand. "The incantation's 'Wingardium Leviosa', and you have to give your wand this little swish and a flick." The prefect HOPED they were buying this, because of COURSE she could levitate the canvas onto the top of the tent on her own. SHe just wanted to let them feel like they were doing LOADS, y'know?

"Okay, After three!" Iris said, "One... Two... Three... Wingardium Leviosa!" She said, with the correct wand movements.

WEEEE. Team work FOR THE WIN.

Enya watched as Louisa went off in a huff. Seriously that girl needed some self control. Sigh. Someday she'd teach the girl, but not today. She couldn't be bothered. With the class. With the activity. With teacher a young girl some rules. Gah. Sigh. She was really really bored now. Enya turned away when Louisa had lifted her wand, she didn't want to see the awful outcome!

But when Louisa shouted at her moment's later to see what she had done Enya smiled. Ha. The girl had got it wrong, there tent was in flames. Great lesson breaker. Turning round though she gapped at the tent, it was certainly bigger then before. The younger girl had got the spell right. Gosh! Wow! SHe nodded her head to Louisa but with no ones. What could she say?

Enya opened her mouth to say something when suddenly the younger girl started painting over her painting. Her moutains and all. Her mouth fell open. She couldn't speak, but when the girl finished turned around to face her with a smile on her face she found her voice again. "You destroyed my painting! My hard work" She shouted at the girl, still starting at the tent. She felt tears in her eyes. She couldn't look at it. Folding her arms she turned away and began to walk away.

Shoes are off. Rex is ready.

Nessa was putting an enlargement charm on the inside of her tent and adding a few details to the inside. she was almost done. She decide to cast some light on the outside just so she could see when she was coming in. she bent down and cast a firefly charm.

Rex is putting up his tent. It keeps falling down. " hopefully someone will help him.

Nessa looked over at a boy that was having trouble with his tent "Can i help you out with that you look like your having trouble?" she said

" Thanks, I have never camped' Rex told her. " I would love some help" Rex said to her. " my name is Rex Trigwell" he introduced himself to her. " Guuess you cant beleive a boy has never done camping, right?" Rex asked her.

Cora smiled and said, "That would be wonderful. Thanks. I will paint this side if you want to paint the other side." Cora was so excited to start painting her tent, and she was getting help doing it.

"No I believe it my brother has never been intrested either" she said with a smile. She bent down to tie the tent strings to braces in the ground which were undone. "Im Renesmee but you can call me Nessa or Rene if its easier for you' she said. She was finishing his tent (putting some charms- lighting charms, expanding charms etc.) " Here you go, all done" she said " would you like a cupcake? i made some earlier."

Louisa blinked several times to make sure that Enya was actually turning around and walking away. Huh? Was she serious? Heh. Of course, when ever did Enya joke around?

"I didn't ruin it! I edited it. See? Your flowers were still on there! It's just the mountain that was gone! ENYA!" She called after her. URGH! She won't turn around, she knew it! Louisa tucked her wand in (She didn't want to do some 'furry' spells again) and ran over to Enya grabbing her elbow.

"Hey! Don't run away as you always do! Talk to me. I told you, I didn't spoil your hard work. I didn't mean to anyways, and I'm sorry if I did." Annoyed. So annoyed by her right now. "I turned the tent into green! Big deal." She waved her hands in the air. "If you don't want to pair with me, you should've said that from the beginning. You can still say that now and I'll just camp on my own." Stare!

[COLOR="Navy"][SIZE="2"]Cora started thinking about where to start on her tent. She thought she would start with painting the lake. She pointed her wand at her tent, "Pingo Blue". Blue bubbles shot out of her wand and hit her tent. She walked up to splotch and started smearing it around with her to make the lake. When she was done with the lake, Cora pointed her wand at her hand, "Scorgify". The blue paint disappeared from her hand.

Enya ignored Louisa when she continued to walk away. She wouldn't talk to the girl again. She had ruined her painting...AGAIN! The thought brought her back to the time in DA, when they had first met, how she had ruined her painting. And blamed it on her. How rude. Enya still didn't turn when she heard the older girl shout her name. She will NOT talk to the girl again.

But-But now she was grabbing her arm, pulling her to actually look at her. She had no choice of course. But she really didn't want to. The.Girl.Had.Ruined.Her.Art.Work. Glare. But she was saying she always ran away from things. SHE DID NOT! "I do NOT run away from things all the time!" SHe cried first glaring at the younger girl. "You always create them" She shot towards the girl.

Enya grabbed Louisa and made her look at their tent. Not destory her work? Ha! "Look!" She cried pointing, "My painting I painted on there is gone! I spent ages on that she you painted over it" She said right into the girl's ears. "Do you know how long that took me?" She asked dropping the girl's arm and stepping away. No she did NOT! She hadn't been there. At All!

"Big Deal!?" She cried next, Yes it was a BIG deal. Sigh. "You.Ruined.My.Tent.Art" She said in one sentence looking at the younger girl again. How rude of her! Sigh. But she guessed she didn't mean it of course. But she was too worked up to care. She listenede to Louisa speak again. Of course she had wanted the girl as a partner. They were best friends...sorta! But...but...she couldn't find a but. Enya began to breath, turn towards Louisa to say sorry.

Then she did the unthinkable.

She fell to the ground below her, and burst into tears. REAL tears.
