Naaatttttttt! <3 Hands deep in his pockets, Alec wandered down the grounds, not knowing where he was going. All he knew was that he was following his feet and his feet seemed to be leading him... somewhere. Anywhere. Not that he minded. He had gummy bears with him! And this was Hogwarts! Now he just needed some company and- O__________O Alec stopped and blinked up at the tree standing a couple of feet away. It wasn't the first time he was seeing this weird tree but it was one of those sudden out-of-the-blue moments. And this tree still managed to amaze him. The young boy, sat down on a patch of grass and took out his bag of gummy bears. He could probably sit here and just watch the tree now. Yeah, that didn't sound like such a bad idea. |

She cast these thoughts away and kept walking, through more densely packed trees, around bushed, until she came to a tree that she recognised. The Whomping Willow. She slowed to a halt, and looked around talking it all in, the way its branches move in sync forming graceful movements, that to some would seem deadly. Then she noticed him, a little first year by the looks of him and she immediately forgot all of her shyness and boldly walked up to him as if he were an old friend and sat down next to him. |

It was only when he tore his gaze away from the tree and took a moment to look around that he noticed the older girl sitting next to him. She seemed... familiar. Maybe. Or maybe he was just seeing people again. Alec looked from the girl and back to the tree. "It's kind of fascinating, isn't it?" Maybe the girl likes climbing trees and going in treehouses? But he wasn't going to ask that just yet. First things first: introductions. "I'm Alec, by the way, Alec Summers." he said, holding out his free hand. |

She watched the tree silently, waiting for Alec to speak. |

His smile grew into a grin as Avery agreed with him. Yes, it was great out here! "I like it as well," Look, they had something in common now! "The tree looks a bit dangerous though." Not good enough for a treehouse. Pity. |
Quote:
She saw him frown as he said it looked dangerous and laughed. "Do you want to know how to get the the trunk?" She asked with a wink. She knew the ins and the outs of this tree better than most, at least she thinks she does. |
Quote:
Alec blinked. How to get to the trunk? He took a moment to look at the swishing tree. It didn't look like anyone could get near there! So what was Avery talking about? "Go on," he said, "How do you get to the trunk?" And he knew exactly what to ask her next. Yes yes. |
Quote:
She laughed and Alec's shock and pretended to have to think about it. Then she grabbed his hand, grinned at him and said, "...like...this..." And she dragged him up and they ran towards the tree, dodging the tree branches, avoiding certain places and stepping on her special path to the trunk of the tree. They dived for the trunk and she reached up and touched the knot in the tree and all the branches, as if by magic, froze where they were harmlessly swaying in the breeze. Avery turned to see Alec reaction. |
Quote:
Alec waited for Avery to answer. She wasn't pulling a prank on him was she? He was a hopeless twelve year old, there was no way she'd do something like that to him. But before he knew it, Avery had grabbed his hand and was leading him towards the tree! What was she DOING?! Alec followed her, trying to dodge the many branches that seemed to be flying at them. This tree was dangerous! But before he could say anything to Avery, the girl had managed to touch something that made the tree... freeze? Could it do that?! "How... how..." his voice trailed off as he looked between Avery and the tree and then back again. "Wow Avery! How did you do that?" |
Quote:
Avery laughed out loud, but not in a mean way at Alec's face. It was one of pure shock and slight terror, but mainly awe. "Practise. I've done it about 10 times since arriving here and I learnt how when I was spying and saw some fourth years attempt it, but fail. I noticed where they went wrong, and I went right." She looked over at Alec and smiled. She wondered what he would want to do now that the tree was frozen and unable to harm him. |

Corinne :) Cody walked to the Whomping Willow. He remembered when he was there two years ago, he was much smaller, not as tall as he was now. He took a seat away from the big tree and watched it move around. |

Ok, so, when he pushed her over to help her avoid being hit, he was yelled at. So when he just warned her it still blowed up in his face. Merlin. She was a handful. "Sorry, can't do anything right in your eyes can I?" |
