She was even promising to come more often! João chuckled at that, although his other side was protesting that it was silly. It probably was silly to talk to a tree, but who knew? Not him.

These children. How could they smile twenty FIVE hours per day? Though, on a second thought, he wouldn't want to smile every moment. Then his smile would get old and boring. Over-used. Yeah. Still, he offered her a smile, because it was rude to not smile while the other was already smiling.

"I doubt we know each other." Or else he would have known better to talk to a KID who conversed with trees. "I was just amazed at how you talk to a tree." Yeah. That's all. No special abilities whatsoever of her.

Alice frowned at Ed's eye roll. DUUUUUDE. Twas not cool to insult the nicknames given to you by your Queen and your partner and your bestie. Who just happened to be like the scariest person in the world. "SIR PINKY IS AN AWESOME NICKNAME. You should be honoured." Not everyone received such an awesometastical nickname. But she forgot all about his nickname when he bowed and called her Queen Hulk. Giggle. "HAII." She greeted him again, along with another salute. 'Cause she was cool like that.

"EWW. Homework is gross. I dislike homework." Thank goodness Alec would do hers for her. Well, not really, but he'd let her copy. Even if it was already done, so wasn't that like Alec was the one copying her homework? WHATEVER. All that Alice knew was that homework time could be put to better uses. Like napping. Or piggybacking. "I'M GOOD. Frank is, too." Her pet frog gave Messer a happy burble and then turned back to the patch of grass he was sniffing. Tee hee. He did that, too? "'Cept, he's kinda sad nowadays 'cause some mean girl ate his wife." Twas upsetting, no? "BLUE'S AWESOME. She's adorable. And funny. And she likes Frank." More than Messer did, anyways. =w= "You'll like her. Y'know, once you two get past the 'I'll-hate-you-forever-'cause-you-screamed-at-me-and-almost-made-me-cry-over-candy' phase."

Which better happen soon.

Seriously he prefer Sir Willy Wonka better since the dude owned a Chocolate Factory while Pinky. Ugh. Its sounds sooooooo girl-ish. Where did that nickname came from anyway? "To you maybe." he mumbled. He knew that Alice was not really happy with him being not happy with his nickname but at least she's happy when he called her Queen Hulk since suddenly she gave him her usual salute.

Messer let out a small chuckled when the Gryffindor said that homework is gross. She had no idea how gross is homework. "I hope they just stop giving us homework." Yeah, keep hoping Messer! "Good. Good." That's good right? If Alice wasn't feeling any good then who will be their leader? "Ate his wife?" Huh?! "Like literally eat her?" Blink. Blink. Blink.

Yeah. To her maybe Blue is awesome and all those stuffs she said earlier but to him she still a girl who shouted at him because he was eating a CANDY! "We'll see." Maybe it'll take them ages to be in a room without shouting at each others.

Nikolas was pretty sure Jade wanted to still be together...or so he thought. The next thing she said took him aback, did she just said that? "You don't want to?" he raised an eyebrow. Yes he has been gone for a while but that didn't mean everything had to change. RIGHT?

He chuckled at Jade's comment about Sel. It would be a miracle if they ever get along together. "I bet you two are gonna end up being best friends..." yes, it was sarcasm.

Jade bit her lip as he seemed a bit frustrated as she said that she might not want to be together with him anymore. "Nikolas just-..." She trailed off, looking at the ground other than him. She thought about it some more and sighed. She didn't know how she would live without him anymore, it was already hard enough for her already the time he was gone. "Fine, we can be together, but on one condition. You have to promise me that you won't leave without telling me again." She said, with a sad expression on her face.

"Yeah, that's for sure. We can go to lollipop land and sing with all the leprechauns." She rolled her eyes. That would never happen, even if there was such thing as a lollipop land.

Of course Nikolas was glad to hear Jade was giving him another chance but still he felt as she wasn't sure about her decision. "You know if you really don't feel okay with this, just tell me" he told her " I won't be mad but just tell me the truth".

Nikolas couldn't help but to laugh about the lollipop land and all that. "I know you love all that stuff...Ohh! And don't forget about the unicorns" Jade riding a unicorn like a boss.

Jade ran a hand through her brunette locks and finally looked back up at Nikolas. "Look, I'm not okay with you not telling me why you left and I'm hoping that you will tell me eventually. And I'd like to give us a chance again because I think you'll finally tell me what's going on, ...especially since I love you." Jade blushed. "But if you repeat that to anyone else, I never said it." It was pretty rare when Jade was really sentimental to a person and if Nikolas broke her heart again, it would be payback time.

Right. The unicorns. Jade rolled her eyes and laughed. "Yes, because that's what I really dream about when weird girl and I are best friends." She shook her head.

HMPH. "Pinky is not THAT bad of a nickname compared to the other ones I give out." Flail. "I call this one sixteen year old bloke Milly and I call a seventeen year old dude Prince Charming. And I once called Alec the name Wonder Woman." See, Messer? His name wasn't that bad. She could have called HIM Wonder Woman. That would have been much worse. Right?

.. Stop giving homework? "Yeah, I don't think they can do that, Messy." Giggle. "We have to get homework until we're out of school." Alice was feeling perfectly calm, but Messer looked really shocked when she said that someone ate Frank's wife. "MHM. She was a Chocolate Frog, too, y'know." Poor, poor Betsy, sitting in someone's stomach right about now. The second year felt bad for her. "Frank is very upset." Well, he didn't look TOO upset now, the way that he was hopping and rolling around in in the grass.. and trying to eat Messer's shoes. "FRANK. Don't do that." hmph. Ill-mannered frog.

The lioness rolled her eyes at Messer's coldness. Blue wasn't THAT bad when she was angry. Actually, Alice had never seen her angry until the tiny 'Claw had met Messer. "She's not that bad, y'know." Shrug. "I'm sure she would like you more if you stopped eating Chocolate Frogs. And yelling at her." That day was a disaster. She hadn't even gotten to eat her candy! Yes, everyone. THAT was what Alice found wrong with that day. Not that her friends had kinda started World War III and not that they were both screaming their heads off. She was upset 'cause she didn't get candy.

Joy decided to sit by the Whomping Willow- at a fair distance of course. It wouldn't do to be injured by the tree. He chose here because it was less crowded and he would be able to concentrate more. He opened his bag and pulled out the parchment he had gotten from Divination class, twenty pieces of various kinds of woods and his wand.

The badger now began the carving. First up was the Birch piece. He pointed his wand to the piece and said, ''Itaglio!'' and carved the sign and letter relating to the birch wood. He moved on with Rowan, Alder and Willow.

Jory paused and looked around at some students. There seemed to be more coming around. He turned his attention back to the work at hand. ''Itaglio!'' he exclaimed, his wad pointed at the Ash wood. He then carved the sign and the corresponding letter. He followed that up with Hawthorn, Oak and Holly.

The boy continued to carve, finishing five in a stretch. Hazel, Apple, Vine, Ivy and Reed. Jory picked u the blackthorn piece and placed it in front of him. ''Itaglio!'' and there the two necessary carvings he did. He quickly completed another set-Elder, Fir, Gorse, heather and poplar. And now for the last carving. ''Itaglio!'' he said pointing his wand at the yew piece. Soon, all twenty pieces of wood all had their respective carvings. "Not bad,'' he thought, pleased with himself.

He looked at her "I dont know.. maybe you would think its fun to do that.. it sure seems like something you would do" he smiled trying to figure out if she was lying or not.. he was sure that she would tackle him but he couldnt be too sure.

He could hear her laughing as he chased her and her saying that he couldnt catch her.. he continued running wondering if he could keep this up and tag her when he saw her collapse onto the grass after running alot.. so he slowed down to a jog and collapsed down beside her "Man.. that.. was ... tiring.. I .. wasnt.. sure .. how.. long.. I .. could.. continue." he chuckled as he sat there beside her.

Ronnie chuckled, waving a hand. "Nahh, I wouldn't do that. I don't wanna accidentally hurt you or something." she said, hoping he wouldn't know she was lying. She wanted to do a surprise attack, out of nowhere...when he'd least expect it...mwa hahahahaha! Sneaky Ronnie.

Ronnie laughed as he collapsed down beside her. "That was tiring indeed!" she said laughing. "I want waaater!" she said, flopping onto her back. After all that running she now was super thirsty!

Harvey chuckled and nodded "Glad that you wouldnt do that. Yeah thats tru.. hey! I dont hurt that easily you know!" he chuckled.. "I am not that of a weakling" he chuckled glad that she wouldnt attack him so he was safe from that.. that was a good thing at least

He laughed with Ronnie as she agreed that it was a tiring run they had just done. Water? "Umm I dont have any.. but I guess I could go inside and get some for you.. what do you say? Want me to run upto the kitchen to get you some/" he asked as he got ready to go in case she said yes.. cause she was thirsty and stuff.
