Selina took a step back when he giggled at her. That sound coming from his lips frightened her a bit, why was he giggling? What was his motive? And for Merlin's sake why was he grinning like that?

She shifted awkwardly and kept her gaze down at the ground. Maybe if she looked down he would stop looking at her. Like she would just disappear. That would be very convenient at this moment- the ability to apparate. But when she looked up he was still staring at her and made some comment about him liking her hair, "My hair? Are you mental?" This had to be some kind of messed up alternate universe.

Conan frowned. Was he making her uncomfortable? That wasn't good. He would cut down on the giggling. And the smiling. And the all round creepiness. Which sadly made him him.

He was confused, "Why am I mental?" He didn't understand at all. He did like her hair. He rarely saw red haired people. Except Ellie. His parents were brown haired. And so was he. Though he was thinking of a change. He wasn't sure yet.

" Fee, over here" William called to her. " How are you?" William asked Fee." WWe need to do some swimming in the lake" Willaim told Fee.

" I heard that remark" Willaim told Ronnie teasing her. "So you like this place, right?' William asked Ronnie. " I would love to sit with my friend" William said to Ronnie.

Okay. Awkward moment over. YES. Very very much over. Relieved, and quite confident that he wouldn’t start serenading or anything – MERLIN, no – Ryden felt comfortable enough to give his hand a little squeeze and smile to herself. Yup yup. Looking over to the Head Girl as she started talking – and ignoring the flow of people as they arrived, for she kind of wanted to yell at them for ruining the serenity of the place – Ryden couldn’t help but grin in delight over her words. They could go SWIMMING! And there was SUN. And it would be just like back home.

...

Except it wouldn’t REALLY be, because the companion she usually had back home looked remarkably like her, was also a midget and was a girl, while here there was Koala Boy. Orlando. NOT a midget. The guy currently holding her hand. Hehe. "Yeah, it really does look like it, doesn’t it?" the brunette replied back with a grin and a nod. "Perhaps the end of the year will be better, what with this place existing and all that," she added, looking left and right as she took it all in, shoes held in her free hand as she wriggled her toes in the sand.

HEAVENLY sand.

Ryden nodded. "Right, ok – I’ll see you back here in ten," the fourth year agreed, then let go of him so that she could scamper off excitedly to the bathing suits. After rummaging and making faces at the horribly tacky designs and shapes that were available – because, seriously, BLEH - she picked out a plain, light blue two piece and went over to get changed, banishing away her robes and things to the castle, while putting her wand away in the tiny little pouch that had LOADS of space inside it – a nifty little thing she’d bought for herself a few years back – and attached it to the bottom bit of her swimsuit.

Tying her hair up in a messy bun, mostly to keep it off her face and back, Ryden made her way back to where she’d left Orlando, her walk bouncier and that almost permanent disapproving frown she had completely gone. Ryden Di Marco was in her element – sunshine and sand and HEAT. Her mood might usually suit the weather here, but the star that enabled life on Earth certainly made her much more bearable. Yes, she liked Astronomy.

Yes, anyways. Where was Koala Boy? "Orlando?"

He asked her why he was mental. In all honesty she had no idea. But he kept making all of these faces at her like she was Violet or Kurumi or someone else. Selina wasn't used to compliments so now with him giving her some she was at a loss for how to respond to him and the things he was saying. Her hand compulsively went to her hair when he mentioned it earlier, "Well because you are talking about my hair and looking at me weird. Why are you looking at me like that?"

Conan frowned again. He really was confused. "Cos you have pretty hair." And how was he looking at her like? He thought he was just smiling at her. Maybe it was an evil grimace or something. That was bad. Keep a straight face at all times.

"I like it. Lots."

Penny smiled at Aurora as she flicked the water, "Sure, that'd be great"..

Standing up and making a perfect dive into the clear blue water, sinking a little, then rising to the surface - This is sooo awesome down here", she said laughing, splashing water at Aurora.

Of course she had to bump into someone today - or in this case, crash. It was just her luck. Harper had been worrying that her bright bathing suit was a target for sure, but apparently that was not her problem anymore. She was not in need of bright clothing for that.

The 'Slytherin guy' offered his hand and Harper took it gratefully after only a brief moment of hesitation. She braced her legs and stood up, making sure to steady herself once she was upright. The last thing she needed was to flop over again.

"Yeah, I'm okay," she brushed the sand away that had stuck to her knees. "Are you?" Harper figured he was fine, as he was still standing and crouch-running into him was almost like bashing into a couple of rocks. "I hope I didn't kill your legs." she added, eyeing him somewhat nervously, and realized that he wasn't too much older than she was - maybe in his last year at Hogwarts or something.

That STUPID puff ball.

The same stupid creature seemed to be having a grand ol' time watching the commotion from his top box seating.

Arya oh so cleverly ducked her head back into the water as her friend made a splash, popping back up only when she saw the girl under as well. Had she not been in the water, she would have shrugged. As it was, all she could do was tilt her head back as she tread water. "They did fine, took them a minute to realize what object they were searching for, but once they got it, the searching didn't take too long." They were actually good finders. Heh. "How did the claws fare at your second task?"

One eye cracked open at Dallin's response. "Did you make it to the lily pads?"

Fee turned around to see who was calling her.Smiling widely she waved at William.It was nice to see him here."Heyyy Willy",the blonde hugged her friend,"i am fine what about you?"Ohh swimming in the lake?That most likely fantastic.When did Hogsmeade open again?!"I need a new bikini",the blonde laughed,"but i am totally up for swimming in the lake whenever you are up too."

Penny was in the water before Aurora could say anything she stood up and searched the rippling lagoon until suddenly she was soaking. "Hey!" Aurora dive in right next to Penny, sending a wave of water from her point o entry. She swam to the surface and shook her head free of water, "Race you to the waterslide!" she shouted and set off at a fast pace.

Selina suddenly felt very self-conscious under the Hufflepuff's gaze. It was like he was rating her on scale of something in his eyes. Perhaps he was rating her with Sierra, which made no sense to her because they had just met. But at the same time, in his eyes, she was second best. It was odd that she didn't mind. Most girls would care if any boy they had just met was passing judgment on them relative to another person- boy or girl. People liked to be judged based no who they are, not who they are comparatively. However, she didn't mind... it just made her feel weird that he was looking at her at all. Maybe she had something in her hair. That would make a world of sense.

"Do I have something in my hair?"

" I am doing really good now" Wiliam told Fee.Willaim hugged her back. " I hope Hogemrade opens this week-end, but then again I am thinking of visiting my family" William explained to Fee. " Is the bikini for you or for Hugo to enjoy?" William asked Fee. " Let's swim whenever we get the chance and please invite Hugo" William smiled.

Fallon smiled at Finn as he grabbed her hand. She swung them between them as they headed towards the water. She stood there while Finn yelled (or whatever you want to call it) at the younger student. She knew he had to do his Head Boy stuff, but that didn't mean she could wish he didn't have to. Oh well.

Once he was done, Fallon let go of his hand. "Race ya!" She started to sprint towards the water. She didn't even look behind her to see if Finn was behind her...

Ness had finally found the lagoon that everyone was talking about, it was beautiful. The water was clear and the whole place looked like a small beach. It was surrounded by beautiful green vegatation, and looked lilke a tropical island. Ness looked around more, very facinated the place looked as though it had or did belong to mermaids as there were objects which looked mermaid like. Ness was told to wear a costume when she went to the lagoon, so lucky for her she was wearing one underneath her over dress. Ness took her overdress off, so she could go sit in the water a little. Ness also made sure she had a bag with a towel and other neccessities.

Ness headed of to go play in the water, happy to finally have warm weather again. Ness looked around, to see who else was there, but there was no one she knew. Ness then noticed an older girl, with her foot burried in the water. Ness shyly but feeling to lonely walked over to the girl. "Um.. Hey!" said Ness hoping she sounded friendly.

"Just remember, I'm here for you," Hugo told Fee. "I can help you with the studying, you know. I'm a Ravenclaw," he winked and patted the crest on his chest. He really loved his house, but not as much as he loved her. And cheese. "And if I had the chance, if you wouldn't get crazy sick of my company, I would be with you all day," he told Fee and layed his hand on her hand on his chin. Chinception.

Hugo smiled at her giggle. So cute. "And I told you I had no problem with it," he said and put a strand of her hair behind her ear. "I stand by what I said," he nodded. But then the romanticness was painfully interrupted by her fist. "Ouch Fee! Seriously, your arm hurts more than a bludger," he said and stroked his arm. "Well, actually, if I didn't have you all I could stare at were the letters in my book so I would probably get better grades..." His arm really did hurt a bit. "Even better than Outstandings..." he mumbled. That wasn't completely true. He was very ashamed of the Acceptable on his Ancient Runes exams last year, and hoped he could at least get an Exceeds Expectations this year. "And then there's Divination..." he sighed. He had a hard time keeping away from his first Poor for that subject, but seriously. Anyone who wants to do something with their Outstanding for Divination... Have fun flipping my burgers in the future...

This kind of felt a little awkward, having to go all headboy on someone with his girlfriend around, but thankfully it didn't last too long, and things go back to normal. Finlay turned from the girl and back to Fallon. Oooh. Race? Finlay laughed, letting her get a bit of a head start. He was a big quidditch star, he could totally beat her. Kicking his flip flops off, he ran after her, and it wasn't long till he was running, well more like wading into the water. Ooh. It felt very cool, refreshing.

He turned around, grinning at Fallon. "I think that might have been a draw." Because well he didn't want to say he'd lost, but he didn't want to say she'd lost either. So this was good right?

Fee msiled widely as she heard that Willy was feelin good."Thats nice",she said beaming,"i was realyl worried about you."With all the girl problems he had it wasnt a big surprise."It would be nice if Hogsmeade opened up",she nodded,"i like going there really much."Hearing the boys's next question the blonde just laughed and wiggled her eyebrows."Its for me to look nice in if that answers your question",the Slytherin chuckled,"i am sure we're gonna have fa lot fun swimming around."Fee used to do that a lot with Rex what reminded her of how much she missed him once again.



Smiling widely at her boyfriend Fee wondered where she had gotten this wonderful guy to like her once again."You shouldnt sacrifice your time to study with me",she said,"you know there are other thigs to do.Like hang with friends,play ukulele and stuff.You study enough already."Seeing he was a Ravenclaw the boy probably even enjpyed being covered up with work and stuff but still everyone needed some free time.And in between seconds the Slytherin's heart melted again.How did he do that all the time?!"Me getting crazy sick of your company?",the girl shook her head and chuckled,"in your dreams.If i could i would spend all my time with you 24/7,you are not going to get rid of me anytime soon.I am not planning of letting go."
Before Fee could get sick of Hugp's company,Hugo would get sick of hers that was for sure.Smiling at her boyfriend's action the girl pecked the boy's lips.


Placing her forhead against his the Slytherin grinned happily,"You better",she said,"cause you know i cant guarantee for anything."Seriously how did someone expect her to not be insanly in love with Hugo?To be able to resist?Glitter,nooo way.Just one second later the third year bursted out into laughter,her arm hurt more than a bludger?!"Awww come on baby",she laughed while trying to breathe,"i am a girl how strong can i be?It wasnt even hard."Well,sure she wasnt a weak one but it couldnt have hurt him really.He was just playing tricks on her.Ohh bad boyfriend.Hehe.Waiiit,was the third year just telling her that SHE was distracting HIM from studying? Ohhh nooo."Well,we should try that out",the blonde smirked,"i am not going to show up at all the week before ancient runes exam and we will see what grade you get." A whole week without him would be hard but it would be worth it.Smiiirk.Divination?That was really one of the easiest subjects,you didnt have to do much.Just create some things in your head and combine them,but nooppe no advice for bad boyfriend right now.Hehe.

Evan smiled, looking at her as she cleaned herself. "Yes, I'm alright, you didn't hit that bad..." he said, even though his knee did crack softly. It wasn't painful though, it was just hurting in a funny way.

Moving on.

"Enjoying the place?" Yeah, now he wanted to hear some compliments.

Freya was enjoying the fresh air and the scenery till she heard someone voice beside her. Did she say Hey to me? She looked around but she didn't see anyone near her. Yeah maybe the girl was talking to her. "Hello." she greeted the younger girl. The blonde never seen the girl before she looks younger than her and she definitely not a Slytherin because if she's then Freya had recognize her.

"I'm Freya Salvatore." she introduced herself.

So here she was. Caroline was at the lagoon, after much aruging with Kita, about her coming or not. She really didn't want to be here she would've much rather been back in her common room laying around in her pajamas then here. The only reason that the Slytherin was here was because her best friend wanted to. She looked around for her, they were suposed to meet at the rocks later. She wouldn't have minded seeing anyone that she knew.

She walked around a bit at least it was nice to be outside. She walked over to a less busy part of the sand and seat down in the sand and stuck her feet in the water. Now that almost made being here worth it. She looked out at the water as the others played in the water and ran around in the sand. But she was happy fine with sitting here looking at the water and thinking. Yeah that was a great way to spend the day at the beach, right?

Oh, phew. So Harper wouldn't die this day - she hadn't mangled him completely.

Harper sighed and tilted her head to the side. "If you say so..." she wasn't about to argue. Maybe he was resistant to, or incapable of, feeling pain. Which ever the reason was, Harper would accept his answer.

She nodded and looked around at his next question, trying to find something intelligent to say about the area. "Yeah, it's absolutely lovely here," she had picked up the pronounciation of the word from Lola. There really was no other word for it. Gorgeous, perrrrrty, beautiful, delightful, amazing, superb, awesome, OH MAH GAWSH IT'S ALL SHINY IN THE WATER "Have you seen those PALM TREES? They're all...tall and tropical and whatever. I expect the day can only get better from here...if I could find that ruddy stupid piece of -"" Harper muttered the last few words of her sentence under her breath. Of course the day could only get better - she had just almost taken the legs off a Slytherin.

"How about you?" There was nothing quite like copying someone else's question and firing it right back at 'em. Especially when it was obvious that everyone loved it here. At least, Harper thought it was. I'm Harper, by the way. In case you wanted to know." she put on a smile that faltered after a moment's thought. NOO, Harper, don't tell him your name - he could SUE YOU.

This Slythie didn't seem the suing type. It was just a good thing she hadn't run into Sierra's legs....

Cass continued her trek down the place as she looked around, she had no idea something like this could be at Hogwarts. Honestly, how could you hide something this...massive?

She pushed a huge leaf off her face as she walked, her eyes widened at the sight before her. It was..wow. Now she totally get it why they had fish cookies at the meeting earlier - which totally seemed like years ago - it was all because it was sort of...mermaid themed.

Laughing, she ran up to the water kicked her shoes off, cursing the moment when she decided it was a good day to wear something with laces, then dipped her feet into the water. Merlin, if she was a mermaid. she wouldn't mind spending her whole life here.

Well this was...different. Samira stared around the lagoon with wide eyes. She had no idea Hogwarts even had something like this! The closest thing she thought the school had that had to do with swimming was the lake...and she wasn't about to swim in the lake anytime soon.

It just looked so...pretty. And relaxing. Or, she was sure it would have been relaxing if there wasn't so many loud teenagers. But nevertheless, she enjoyed just being out by the lagoon, people watching. Slipping off her sandals, the Slytherin moved towards the edge of the water. She was still weary about jumping in. Maybe she would go in if someone encouraged her. Maybe. But not likely.

Samira found herself standing next to someone vaguely familiar. Casey? Cassy? C...C...Cass...Cass! That's what it was! Or, she was pretty sure that was her name. Samira hadn't talked to the blonde since she was in her first year. Even then it had only been a brief interaction, going over plans for a party she was having. After a few moments of silence on Samira's part, she glanced over. Eh, why not make conversation? She had nothing else to do...

"Hey, uh, Cass," said Samira casually, almost tripping over the name again.

Cass turned away from the cerulean blue water at the sound of someone saying her name. "Oh, Hi." She said brightly with a equally bright smile on her face as she faced the younger girl. She racked her brains to remember her name, the face was familiar, if she could only remember her name

"Samira, right?" She finally answered, mentally crossing her fingers, hoping that she had recalled the right name. Then she ran her fingers through her long, now messy, blonde hair and smiled "It was nice of you to remember my name. How are you?"
