Strong iron gates prevent students from getting out while making sure anything unwanted stays out. They can only be opened by the Professors and Staff and are always open on Hogsmeade weekends to allow for passage to the village.

Instead of tossing up a shield she side-stepped the stunner, and drew her wand through the air in the proper motion. "Gelatinus."
Tate was impressed that the girl hadn't busied herself with detention spells unnecessarily. Too many new duelers felt they always had to react magically to simple spells, when dodging would suffice.
He turned away from her spell with his wand upraised, following up with an, "Incarcerous." Thick ropes spilled from the tip of his wand and swarmed toward Miss Lovegoods.
Adam felt better now that he had gotten Louisa to take a deep breath. He was sure if it had been his egg that he would have been freaking out as well, so he couldn't blame Louisa for wanting to bolt at the thestrals in full force. As they approached the small area where they were all gathered, the mother shot them both a curious look. Adam stuck his hand out and set it on Louisa's shoulder as a gesture that she should stop. He gave her a little nod as she lifted her arm to give them an apple, him smiling encouragingly at one of the younger thestrals.
As soon as it took a good whiff of the apple it started to munch on it, the other two coming towards to investigate as well. Adam held out his own apple and the third one came to munch on it. Adam turned to look at Louisa.
"Alright...the egg is by itself. I'm going to give you my apple slowly, then I'm going to walk over and pick up your egg. I'm thinking if I give the mother this second apple I have maybe she won't try and stop me from taking it." Adam let out a little sigh, shooting a look at the mother before looking back at Louisa. "Alright...are you ready?"
Louisa froze in her spot when Adam's hand touched her shoulder. It meant the Thestrals were near enough. She stretched the apple holding hand and within seconds Louisa felt hot breath on her hand and then it was moving and being munched on. The Ravenclaw swallowed nervously as she saw that - it never got normal to her. Never probably. She just hoped she wouldn't be able to see them one day.
Nodding her head at Adam, the girl waited for him to give her his apple. "Quick." Because she didn't bare feeding two Thestrals on her own - especially when she didn't see them if they decided to eat... her hair! D:

Adam could tell that Louisa was feeling somewhat unsettled...he figured it would never be easy for someone to accept something that they couldn't see. Invisibility was just as frightening as not knowing what's in the dark in Adam's humble opinion. He handed Louisa the apple carefully and slowly, so that the thestral shifted without really knowing what was happening.
Once the apple was securely in her hand, Adam could a couple of slow steps forward, keeping his eye on the mother thestral. She merely watched him while he bent down and picked up the egg, before he threw an apple as her. While preoccupied with her food, Adam scooped up the egg and took a couple of steps back.
"Alright, I got it!"

Arya, going against her first instinct to burn all the ropes, took a step back from the fastly approaching ropes and whiped her wand through the air at them. "Avifors!" Most of the ropes transfigured into blue birdies. She ducked under the rest while flicking her wand at Tate's shoes. "Duro."
And because the pretty birds served a purpose more than keeping her from being tied up, she flicked her wand at them again. "Oppugno." The transfigured creatures moving to attack the Headmaster.

Impressive. She'd cast two at once, and Tate gave her an approving nod, even as he was moving out of the range of the first spell. Still, he summoned the dirt at his feet into an enormous pile so that her first spell created a shield that those attack birds could beat themselves against harmlessly.
And now Hogwarts had an interesting new landmark.
There was some small safety behind his little shield, although Tate was unlikely to stay there very long, and he cast in Lovegoods' direction with a "Densaugeo" - hoping he could keep her from casting well again by preventing accurate incantations - followed by a minor blasting charm.

"Alright, I got it!"
Louisa took the apple from Adam and felt it being jerked and munched on. Gulping she kept her unfocused eyes on the empty space before her. She didn't dare move her attention to the boy in the back, what if those Thestrals decided to taste her hand? Mmm? Joao wouldn't find her so charming without her.. all skin on. Ew.
And he got it! Pheeew! Sighing loudly, Louisa let go of both apples who were already halfway to being finished. Taking few leaps backward, in case one of them attacked or anything. "Throw it here!" She tried to talk as casually as possible, slightly failing in that. Her egg needed to be polished, cuddled and most of all taken away from other creatures. Up till now, a cat, a bunch of owls and Thestrals went after the metal thing - something's too appealing about it was drawing creatures and Louisa was not liking where this might go.

Ohh, that was a lot of dirt.
Arya's gaze flicked from Tate to the birds attacking at his dirt shield, and her wand hand followed soon after to destroy it. Her attention admittedly was more on that than protecting herself with an actual shield, and it had her hit with the hex before she could draw one up. The Puff prefect shifted her jaw at the sudden teeth growth to keep from becoming too uncomfortable. Big teeth was no fun. It was the blasting charm that caught her off guard more than anything, and had her stumbling backwards.
Using her left arm to shield her eyes, she went with the momentum, stumbling backwards to gather her footing while throwing out a non-verbal hot-air charm, in hopes to at least keep the debris from the blast airborne as a shield of sorts. Then she worked on trying to stop the growth, 'cause there was only so much she could do non-verbally.

Alex went down to the front gates and waited for William to arrive.
" I am here now" William told Alex. " Minerva broke up with me" William said to Alex. " Then there was a disagreement or a loud argument between Minerva and myself" William explained to Alex. " I had my nose broeken and clothes torn by her freinds who actually acted my friends, too" Willaim sighed." You would not believe one of the girls responsible for tearing my clothes" William sighed again.

She seemed to be struck by both of his spells, which surprised Tate a bit. Not that she was hit... everyone got hit. Perhaps his dirt move had been a bit too much all at once. Tate almost stepped forward to help or offer advice, but he managed to pull himself back at the last minute.
Her hot air charm blew past him, giving him a lowgrade windburn but not otherwise stopping him. "Stupefy." Just in case she wasn't really down.

Adam quickly moved away from the thestrals, the mother and her children munching on their apples respectively. When Louisa yelled for Adam to toss her the egg, he chucked it gently so that she wouldn't have any problems catching it. Giving a little sigh of relief once he got close to her, Adam looked back at the thestrals. "I think they may just be lonely out here all by themselves...is your egg alright?"

Louisa caught the egg easily and hugged it to her chest as she continued to walk a few steps away from the thieves Thestrals. The girl slowed down until coming to a total stop with Adam standing close by. Staring down at her metal egg, Louisa frowned slightly, "I'm not sure. It's slippery a bit." Moving the egg to rest completely on her other arm, the girl took her wand out, "Argentum Siccus," Twirling and pointing her wand at Dalouisa. "It's also dirty," Louisa's nose was slightly wrinkled at the smell, "Excolo." That didn't fix the smell but it made it shiny and smooth again.
Looking up at Adam, Louisa smiled, "Thanks." Back to the egg, she placed both of her palms on the surface and stayed still. A moment of total silence has passed. "No, the temperature's fine," she announced happily, starting to walk toward their seating area.

She wasn't down, but she had admittedly taken her eyes of the prize. If the Headmaster could be called that. Her wand flicked over in his direction, "Histedius." She wasn't twirling anymore, but some movement seemed better than none.

Amethyst waltzed out of the Castle, humming as she went along. She was wearing the hoodie Minerva gave her. She was a bit upset about the game, but she had a trick up her sleeve for next year. She sat on the ground, Dashi playing with her fingers as she waited for everyone.

Justin made the long walk to the front gate and pulled on his new jacket that Minerva gave him. He somberly sat down on the grass. Slytherin had just won the quidditch cup and he didn't even get a chance to play in the match.

Dashi ran and curled up in Wellheart's lap, meowing softly. Geleto smiled and pulled out a muggle camera. She snapped a photo of Dashi, then waved at Justin.

She smiled, hugging all of her friends. "You guys are awesome.." She smiled. She didn't know what she'd do without them.

Ame giggled and ran to the set up camera. "Alright everyones!" She set the timer and ran back to the other fantastic six people. "Say cheese!" The camera clicked seven times for seven copies. She ran back to the camera to collsct the photos, placing them in her bag. "Silly photo time!" She set the timer again and ran back, pulling her cheeks as she rolled back her eyes. The camera clicked seven times.

Her aim was likely less than true after all that, but Tate still threw up his shield to block the spell she sent his way. It was a Truebridge taught one, if he recalled, and Tate reminded himself to tell Zan that the students were still using his spells when they next met.

Ronnie had just gotten her letter. She was so nervous on being late!
She had barley visited the front gate, so she forgot where it was. She finally found it after half an hour of searching the grounds. She was panting from all the running. "Hey...." *pant pant* "every..." *pant pant* "one..." *pant pant* she said with a weak smile.

Minerva got ready for the picture. She was so excited to have all her friends with her and to be ending on such a great note. She smiled watching them all together.
