Two statues stand out on the fifth floor: Boris the Bewildered and Gregory the Smarmy. Beside Gregory the Smarmy is a roped off section of swamp, left in honor of the famous Weasley twins: Fred and George, founders of the joke shop chain, Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

Tori was kind of curious what the Prefect's bathroom was like; surely it was better than any of the REGULAR girl ones. She was wandering the fifth floor, trying to see if she could find it or find a prefect to follow, when she came across a roped-off section of swamp.

"Haha nifty!" the ginger murmured to herself, looking for a boat or some stepping stones to get across. "I wonder who made this...."

Looked like a lot of Hogwarts' corridors were just full of surprises.

"Fred and George Weasley," Sierra said aloud, stepping into view. Honestly, where had the girl learned her history at? Muggle school? "They created it but conveniently forgot to tell anyone how to remove it. Pretty brilliant for Gryffindors..."

She trailed off as she stopped a safe distance away from the swamp. No way was she getting close to it with Tori Bunbury standing by. She didn't trust herself not to do something that would result in losing another set of five house points.

"I heard that if you wash your hair in it, it'll stay extra clean and shiny for a full two weeks," she declared. She observed Tori from a safe distance, trying to determine whether or not the girl was going to tempt getting in it or not.

"Gred and Forge who?" Tori voiced, looking around for the source of the answer. She spotted Sierra and rolled her eyes, wrinkling her nose with disgust. "Oh. You. Ewwww." The sight of Sierra was more disgusting than the smell coming from the swamp.

She crossed her arms and tapped her foot, trying to figure out a way past the swamp. She raised a brow at Sierra's declaration about the swamp's powers and snorted. "Really. Tell me, do you know that from personal experience? Because I have been wondering how you got your gum out."

Smirk.

Smirk.

She rolled her own eyes. "Well, that was mature," she commented, but she didn't walk any closer. The smell coming from the swamp was unbearable, and she couldn't for the life of her figure out why Beauty Queen was so determined to stand so close to it.

She just had to bring up the gum, didn't she? Sierra bit her bottom lip as she held back a whole line of full of not-so-nice things to say to this girl. "I believe I was clear when I said I heard," she answered, "and if you must know, Professor Lafay had a potion that got the gum out with one single shampoo." She flipped a few locks of hair over her shoulder and onto her back, intentionally displaying how well the potion worked--not only on gum and spit, but on making hair shiny and silky, too. Sierra could care less about that sort of thing, but if it got some envy out of Bunny over there, then her whole day would be made. Maybe even her whole month.

At least Tori hadn't stuck her tongue out too, which was what she usually did to people she didn't like. Instead, the redhead unwrapped a piece of gum and popped it in her mouth, still smirking as she did so.

Tori's smirk faded slightly as the other girl showed off her shiny hair. "What. Ever." Like she cared. Tori flipped her own shiny locks over one shoulder and smacked her gum nice and loud. "Have you ever been across this swamp?"

Or in it? Heh.

Sierra's already unamused facial expression fell to something much deeper when she saw the gum. It just brought back memories she didn't care to ever even think about again. She smirked at the way the girl said 'whatever'. She reminded Sierra of one of those blonde-headed girls who laid out by swimming pools and got their fingernails professionally done just to go to the mall. Or whatever it was the Muggles called their Diagon Alley.

"I have," Sierra lied. "It's magical, so once you put all your weight into it, it just holds you up." She shrugged nonchalantly. "I've been across it so many times, though, so it's really rather a bore now." In other words, no, she would not go first.

Tori totes was one of those girls. Just an FYI to any and all stalkers.

"Reallllllllllllly," Tori drawled, totally not believing Sierra at all. "You're saying that I can walk on water --- on this swamp --- because it's magical?" She scoffed loudly. "Yeah right. Tell me another one." She shook her head but crept a little closer to the swamp nonetheless.

"I'm gonna have to see that one before I believe it." Do it. I dare ya.

"Really," Sierra said, matter-of-factly. It didn't escape her that the girl had edged just one step closer to the filthy pond scum of a swamp plaguing the corridor. She wondered if the water was any good for potions and made a mental note to ask Professor Lafay about it later. "Yeah, that's what I'm saying." She nodded as if to say 'sure, why not'.

On that last note, though, Sierra's eyebrows wrinkled inward, creating a very annoyed facial expression. Surely this girl wasn't suggesting that Sierra prove her point. If so, the answer was absolutely not. Her father didn't raise a fool. "Well, then go find somebody else," she said. "I'm not your Hufflepuff."

"Yeah, well I'm no Duffer freakin Hufflepuffer either," Tori shot back, planting her hands on her hips in a defiant gesture. I'm sure I can conjure up a boat... or maybe some stepping stones or something..."

No way was she backing down now, or worse, turning around and heading the way she'd came. Tori flicked her wand into her hand and started muttering nonsense, not knowing enough real magic to make anything happen.

Sierra had to bite down on her bottom lip to keep from laughing. Duffer freakin Hufflepuffer? She'd never tell Tori, most likely, but that was probably the best and funniest way she'd ever heard Puffers described. When she was sure she could stop biting down without laughing out loud, she commented with, "Well, good luck with that. I heard that when it was first created, the caretaker had to stand here all day long and throw the students across the swamp."

She probably shouldn't have said anything about that, though. She should have just let Tori believe it was passable, conjure up some stones, and fall flat on her face--right in the middle of the swamp. Sierra narrowed her eyes in thought as she watched Tori's wandwork. "What sort of spell are you casting?" she asked, not recognizing the movements.

Tori looked up from her crazy wand movements, her eyes narrowing into slits as Sierra spouted more nonsense. "Yeah right," the redhead scoffed, trying to imagine students being thrown by anyone. "You're just full of it all right." What it was... she wasn't saying. No need to get reported for bad language now.

What Tori really needed was a BOAT. But how was she going to get one? "I'm casting a spell to summon a giant troll here to carry me across the swamp and then to squash you with his club." She rolled her eyes. "Why do you ask?"

Sierra shrugged. "It's the truth," she said, and it really, actually was. "Just sayin'." Tori, she could tell, had made up her mind otherwise, and she was just the type of girl that wouldn't bend once she'd done so. Ehh. In some ways, Sierra was the same, though. For instance, she knew that whole ordeal at the feast was Bunny's fault, and even though Bunny said otherwise, Sierra knew the truth.

"Alright, then," she said, gesturing toward the swamp. "Let's see your spell in action then." Truth be told, it was sort of amusing to watch someone who so obviously didn't know what they were doing try to summon anything, much less a giant troll.

"Fine." FINE. Tori WOULD summon...something... to help her get across this swamp. Fortunately, she had been reading her Charms book pretty much ever since she had met the professor and at least knew the incantation for summoning.

Flicking her hair over her shoulder, Tori held both her hands out toward the swamp and closed her eyes to better concentrate. "Accio...broom!" She kept her eyes closed and bit her lip nervously to wait for it to work.

Or to wait for the sound of Sierra's laughter.

Sierra rolled her eyes. Was this even worth spending her time over? "I better get going. You know, you could always just turn around and go back the way you came," she suggested. I'd be the easy way out, and who wanted the extra work? Gryffindors, that's who. "...but do whatever you want. Hopefully we'll see you in the common room tonight." She added an evil smile on that note. Without another word, she turned on her heels and headed off.

"Yeah right," Tori snorted at Sierra's evilness. "Turning around is for LOSERS." And Victoria M. Bunbury was no loser. She was NOT going to back down from this swamp...

...at least, not until Sierra left. Thank Merlin, the other Slytherin trotted off after a few moments. Tori waited until she was certain, absolutely certain, there was no one else around, and then she actually did turn around and go back the way she had come. She would just have to take the moving staircase, and remember to avoid this place in the future, that was all.

Okay, Jonathan will be handing out his homework for transfiguration. So It's best that he better finish this one sooner. He took out his wand. A mirror on his left hand. He pointed his wand onto his head. Concentrating hard he tapped it once "Ristaris!"

Looking at himself in the mirror, he smiled. Yes, he was already used to the spell now that he had practiced it a couple of times. He doesn't even need to close his eyes to concentrate that much. This is a really big step for him. He always thought, it'll be long enough for him to master the spells.

But practice makes perfect, right?

Jonathan tapped his head twice "Intaris!" looking at himself in the mirror. He smiled again. Yup, back to normal. Hair is brown. Length is fine and no more curly hair for him.

Jai was keeping a low profile since he and Caroline broke up. The guy was completely torn up about it but had made a lot of progress on his own. He was back to wandering around the school when he didn't have classes and when he wasn't studying or doing homework.

He hadn't seen, much everybody in the last few days. He did go to the quidditch match but stayed far away from them all.

Marilyn made her way up to the Fifth Floor. After finally getting an owl back from Jai, he'd suggested they meet up and the blonde was excited to get someone new to talk to...

...Not that she didn't love Cassie...and Carter...and the Slytherins...

She knew Jai had been taking stuff hard and had wanted to be there for him. So, finally arriving at the statues, she coughed. Jai was standing there...looking the same...

Perhaps he was making progress in his heartbreak. "Hello you..."

Jai turned around at the sound of someone behind him. There he saw Marilyn. He gave a her a gentle smile and said,"Hey yourself. It' good to see you, talk to you. How are you?" He slowly moved closer to give her a hug. He was very hesitant. The last blonde she snake he got close to, broke his heart.

He was getting passed the initial rawness of the pain. Now he was just moving through the stage of moving on.

Marilyn hugged him back carefully. He might have looked the same but his whole demeanor was off. The carefree Jai from the beginning of the school year was definitely not present.

...Which was sad.

"I'm doing good, I guess. There's been a lot of uncertainty in my life lately that I could do without..." Did she really want to dump all of her problems on the boy when he'd just made his way out of hiding?

*shrug* "Anyway, I could be doing better...How are you doing...Your owl said you were fine, but I'm not convinced."

He backed away a few paces and shoved his hands in his pockets. He nodded as she spoke."Oh. Well, you look like you're managing quite well with all of whatever is going on."

Then she said it."I'm getting over a break up. I think I'm doing remarkably well." he said, with a low chuckle."Plus, I've climbed out of my hidey hole to see the world again." Jai gave her a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Yay for hide-aways, huh?" Marilyn knew what it was like to want to hide from the world. It was a demon she struggled with everyday. If it weren't for Cassie, and Carter, she wouldn't leave her dorm.

"Thank you for saying that..." She hadn't been eating right and she was sure the weight loss was beginning to show...but there was nothing that could be done about that. Her stress just kept having a go at her. "If it's any consolation, she hasn't been doing so well herself."

Jai looked at her and said,"No problem. I meant it." She mentioned that Caroline wasn't doing well."Is she ok? I mean how bad? I..." he asked, as his voice faded away.

He couldn't even bare to say her name. It was still hard.

She needed somewhere quiet to think and at the moment this seemed a good place. Alone, with her cat Louisa purring at her feet. Good, she smiled as she moved over to one side of the room. The meeting with Dallin hadn't gone to plan, although she did slap him. That was an added bonus. But now she was friendless, what a fun day. Not. Sigh.

That was one of the main reason's why she wanted to be alone to think, should she or should she not say sorry. Not to Dallin, he deserved it, but to Louisa. Bending down Enya scooped up Louisa and held her close, "What do you think Lou?" She asked looking down at the cat who continued to purr.
