It had been a long week, a long month and a long year. What he had done last month he should have regretted but he really didn't because he felt like it was the right thing to do and it still feels like he did the right thing. But he must have done the wrong thing because he hadn't talked to any of his "friends" since the little fight. No matter how long he would think about it and maybe just think that he had done wrongm he still didn't think he did anything wrong at all. So none of his friends were talking to him but he didn't even know if they were really his friends because they were just so quick to judge at that very moment.

Nashville hadn't felt that great, he could not get to sleep so maybe just walking out of the school and onto the grounds would help that. A night time stroll. All alone. Just him. No one else. Yeah. Always a great time. The lake was a great place for him to think and everything that had happened lately was insane and he just needed to let his mind be free...not that that would happen.

On Nigel's count, she aimed her wand and yelled the incantation. The colours that came shortly after weren't supposed to be possible. Like what even...? She stared up at it for a while. "Dude...you snuck something in before we blew it up....wicked..." Colours blending into each other, rising high in the sky with a distinct 'Boom' here and there.

This was life...no...no chocolate was, but this came dangerously close.

Quite instinctively she turned to look at her explosion buddy. He seemed just as awe-stricken as her. It was no wonder. This was the most epic explosion she'd seen in a while--EVER.

"I don't think we can top that but dude..." Pause. "THAT WAS TOTALLY EPIC!!! THE BOOM! THE COLOURS! MERLIN'S BEARD!" The Third Year was now bouncing where she stood, itching to see something else go up in colour and smoke. There were ripples of giggles. This was quality entertainment. "Definitely worth waking up so early."

And you know, she had homework to do but HELLO! BOOOOM!



Then quite suddenly they were being joined by someone else. Oh? What time was it? She didn't know anyone else would have been up ad out of their Common Rooms just yet. It was the weekend.. She figured most would be interested in sleeping in.

"Mika! Hey!" And she had her own fireworks!!!

This couldn't be better. Could you imagine exploding something that was already meant to go off?? "I think we'll find good use for them." She turned to Nigel for minute. "Dude, three different spells on one object. It'll be HUGE!" But not that huge seeing as none of them were beyond fourth year level work.

Still. Epic.

What was awesome about their team? Just about everything, and how they didn't mind his sleeping attire. Wade had sat by Kaiden a little before Minnie arrived with her own basket of goodies and ice cream! He began chuckling at her reaction, and the petting he was getting. He was becoming her kitty, eh?

"I'm a tiger.. Roar." Wade briefly bared his teeth before holding his head back to laugh out loud. The sound of Ella's voice made Wade turn his head after he stopped. Hmm.. good question. "I don't know, let's see-" He reached out for one of her free gummy worms, since she offered it and all. Then putting it in his mouth to chew, followed by another pickle. "Mmm... sweet pickle." Even if it was a little chewy and crunchy all together. Heh.

Now Minnie was lulling him to sleep.. Hmm.. sleep. Wade began hugging the jar of pickles tighter. "Mmm.. sleep sounds good." As he slouched slightly against Kaiden, because that scratching and petting felt really nice. "You want me to Purr? Or to-Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." One of the advantages of his birth home's language, the rolling of the tongue to make that distinct purr.. Hmm? Wade saw a familar guy not too far away, ending any dosage of drowsiness. "Nash!" He gave a wave to get his attention. Wonder if he brought any pies over. "Glad you could make it"

FoShe jumped acting afraid when he showed his teeth.. "NO.. bad kitty." She bopped him on the head, not hard, just teasing. Then she laughed and looked at Ella who seemed to smile at her.. Good smiles were good. Maybe she would want pets later as well. "But I brought tons of blankets we could so make a fort if we wanted." She might even if they didn't because blanket forts were AWESOME!!! Oh and Ella wanted ice cream, pulling out the bowls from her bag and the spoons she scooped some in a bowl. "Here you go!! ICE CREAM for everyone!!!


Did Wade just Purr.. HE JUST PURRED... WADE AWESOME ELISABETH-POTTER JUST PURRED. She almost jumped into his lap with excitement. "N'aww Kitty likes being pet and scratched." she continued to pet him for now reason. "I will keep you and pet you and hug you and keep you for my very own." She said in a childish voice then started laughing. I wonder if Ethan would mind another pet around." Giggling again she turned and that's when she saw Nash.

She jumped to her feet and went running towards him. "NASHY.. Come.. Come have some ice cream and get pets, and hang out.. PLLLLLEEEAASSSE"

Kace made his way down to the lake. He decided he wanted to join this afternoon. As he made his way, he saw Ella there with the rest of the teammates. Kace smiled and wondered how did he get so lucky to be on this amazing team. He smiled to all of them and waved...."Hey guys and nice tiger pajamas Wade." he chuckled at them. He seemed comfortable and he was quite jealous.

Kace saw Ella and said, "I am loving this get together idea you had. It is a good way for me to explore the castle a bit more."

Then he heard Minnie mention Ice cream??? Kace's eyes went wide. "I would LOVE some Minnie." He motioned his hands to take some. He loved Ice cream and it was a perfect treat for an afternoon like this. He liked the idea of Blanket forts though. He wondered what everyone could create.

Just walking a long and having just a grand old time...not really but he was really trying to do the best he really could. So here he was with his hands in his pockets he noticed his fellow and former Hufflepuff Quidditch Team just hanging out? Or whatever they were doing. Probably something stupid and childish. Yeah. Now she decided to talk to him? It's been weeks since Minerva had talked to Nashville but it was longer than that because the last she spoke to him she was yelling at him and Nashville knew that she didn't want to be friends with him and that was what Nashville had thought. Make it? Make it to what? "What did I make it too?" Yeah, really what was it? Now jumping and yelling and running and stuff from Minerva. Nashville eyed her. "No thank you." Maybe she would listen to him this time.

Laura decided that she would go for a walk around the lake, she couldn't wait to eat the chocolate she had brought with her, she wanted to enjoy the chocolate whilst watching the lovely view, it kind of reminded her of being at the seaside, except unfortunately there wasn't any sand here otherwise it would be awesome, she so wished she could make sand appear but she didn't want to get into trouble with the Professors.

Christmas wandered down to the lake to take a break from her studying as it was stressing her out a bit and saw her friend Laura and said "Hey Laura, hope your keeping out of trouble"

Laura looked at Christmas. "Don't I always keep out of trouble." Laura giggled. "I'm an angel you know." Laura smiled at her friend, as she took out some chocolate and the ice-cream she had with her. "Want to join me in a snack?"

Christmas smiled and said "Yeah recently you have been keeping out of trouble and you an angel do not quite believe that and sure i would love to join you in a snack"

Laura giggled. "I am an Angel, as any of the Professor they will tell you." Laura smiled as she thought about that, "And okay, I have ice-cream, chocolates, biscuits, and I even have some milkshakes, they are awesome you know." Laura couldn't wait for the ICE-CREAM! "LETS HAVE THE ICE-CREAM BEFORE IT melts." Laura giggled.

Christmas laughed and said "Well the chocolate is going to melt as well so lets have a mixture of both"

Laura looked at Christmas and nudged her. "I've HAD an AWESOME idea, it's SUPER AWESOME TIMES 3000." Laura giggled. "Lets put the chocolate in the ice-cream." Laura thought that would be epic.

Christmas laughed and said "That would actually be an awesome idea Laura let's do that"

"Told you it was a super-awesome-idea-times-3000" Laura beamed, as she put the chocolate into the ice-cream and then shared it out. "Lets see how this tastes" Laura giggled and ate some.

Christmas laughed and took some of her ice cream mixed with chocolate and said "Hey this doesn't actually taste that bad"

Seems as though winter is especially cold this year and the strong gust of freezing air was enough to bring tears to the eyes. The cold seems to be concentrating here for the time being. It is almost as if it is being drawn towards something.

Tobias made sure he was allllllll bundled up in a hoody AND a jacket, and boy was that a good idea. The first year Huffie was, as usual, running to his destination rather than boring old walking. He'd seen the team from waaaaaaay back at the castle and had run all the way, and yet when he skidded to a halt in front of them and collapsed to the ground, he still seemed to have loads of energy.

"Hi guys!" Tobias beamed as he manouvered himself so he was in a sitting position, and then shuffling forwards towards a blanket because the ground was cold cold cold. His face was slightly flushed from the exertion. "Freezing, ain't it?" he added cheerfully as he beamed around at them, grinning even more when he saw Wade's tigerness.

"Can I have some sweets, please?" SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR.

He was late and he knew it.

But he had a good reason to be! There had been a little trouble in the dorms over what he should wear for this special little meet-up. When he had heard about this, the boy was extremely enthusiastic about coming showing his house pride -- they were having a Hufflepuff Quidditch team meet up, after all -- but one look at his wardrobe told him that something had happened to all his yellow shirts. No amount of scavenging and searching underneath the beds had helped him find any of his yellow shirts. Talk about being a Hufflepuff.

At least he was wearing Hufflepuff converses. Was this a good way of making up for not being able to FIND a yellow shirt?

So when Alec had finally finished getting ready and left the messy dorms, he made his way down towards the grounds to meet up with the others. Hopefully he wasn't too late and they hadn't started going on with... whatever it was they were meant to be doing. He didn't want to miss anything so, clutching onto his bag, the boy started hurrying down towards the lake.

Wait... wait... HOLD THE SNITCH. ... Was that Wade?

"YOU HAVE THE COOLEST OUTFIT EVER!"

... Was that a little too loud? Eh. But Alec Blake Summers was mentally stamping his seal of approval on Wade's pyjamas. How awesome would it be to walk around pretending to be a tiger? Answer: VERY. It also made him wish that he had worn his footie onesie.

Also... everyone was here! EVERYONE! And he was the last person to turn up... probably. Good going, Summers. "Hey, you guys!" he said, grinning broadly at them and taking a seat on the blanket, "Are there enough sweets left for me?" And was he in trouble for being late? Puppy dog eyes at you, girlfriend. "Oh! And... I'll just add to this..." He opened his bag and tipped it over, letting all the sweets inside fall out onto the blanket. Yeah... it didn't occur to him that Oakey might not be okay with this. Sorry Oakster. "There are both Muggle and wizarding kind so... feel free!" And could he just take someone's sweets?

Also, was it... cold? Was this normal for February? BLINK.

Nigel just smirked when she found out he added fireworks to the already awesome explosions. There were just no words to describe it. It was not the best thing ever, sarcasm, But it came close. "We can sure try." They were on a roll now and why stop.

"Definitely. I am wide awake now.Okay let see how high we can make the stack this time"

Nigel was pretty sure the stack could not get much higher. But they had to blow up something to top what they just did. To bad he used the last fo his fireworks on the last explosion. Shame. He now had nothing to add.

Think, Nigel, Think. What could they use this time.



Add suddenly he got the answer from Mika. Perfect timing. "Hey Mika. Ready to blow things up?" The more the merrier. Especially when all three could blow thing up at the same time.

"Homemade fireworks. Awesome. We so have to use those. Put those on the stack over there." Nigel pointed to the high stack they were just building. "Now we have to cast the spell at the same time. With the three of us. It will be awesome"

Homemade fireworks and more people would make this more awesome. So awesome that Nigel barely even felt the cold that was covering the Lake. Please, it was colder at his house over the winter.

It's not like he was attempting to take out his own Captain. Geeze Ella paranoid much? Why let him set up a ladder by her window if she was gonna be worried he was going to hurt her. "You're fine. I... DROPPED THE BASS..."Stopped the bass see." He held it out for her to see and sat down on the blanket eyeing each of the snackes she brought. "Gummy Worms? of course you bring Gummy Worms." He gave her a sour lemon glare and started to tune his bass so he could start playing a song. They were shortly followed by Kaiden, Wade, Minerva, and Nashville. Who was followed close behind by the two first year wonders Tobias and Kace.

"Oh Pickles!" Oakey said with glee as he gave Wade and odd look for his Tiger PJ's, finally a healthy food choice.

Just as he was about to stand and ask for a pickle or two...or three he felt a very cold chill go by him. Shivering a bit, he looked again at Wade. "Aren't you cold in that?" Merlin, it felt like Beezus tripped him back into the Black Lake again, except he was dry.

Nash was not being nice.. NO.. no not at all NAUGHTY NASH... "NASH... PLEEEAAAASEEE" Minerva bounced still excitedly. She grabbed his hand pulling a little. "Can you please just stop pouting and come have ice cream, because ice cream makes it all better. Come join us.. PLEASE" Stop being a party pooper and start being a party starter!!

She sighed hoping he would come along and stopped shivering a great deal. "When did it get so cold??" She asked the group, it wasn't this cold a moment a go, right? "Someone turned the cold up so our ice cream wouldn't melt again." Whomever was doing that is the coolest person EVER...

Getting back with the group she smiled and went and pet Tobias and Kace, "Hey guys... I have sandwiches in the basket and ice cream over there.. Ella seems to have candy as well." She grabbed her own bowl of ice cream and was about to find a place to sit after wrapping in a blanket When she heard Alec. "Little Bro ALEC" She smiled and hugged him. "Ice cream.. that you're now wearing.. sorry about that." She chuckled and pulled her wand out cleaning him up. "No worries I brought plenty want a bowl?" She skipped towards her bag and started scooping her ice cream in.

Studying for NEWTs. It really did take all your spare time away, but of course it was vital if Nessie wanted to obtain marks to be proud of. She really wanted to the best she could this time, no slacking no being lazy. She wanted those marks and she knew all it took was input, hard work and perseverance.

Having spent more than two hours studying, Ness decided it was time for a small break which was why she headed out towards the lake, but that wasn't her only reason of course. Her real reasoning for this was because a badger meet up was planned, right here and why not join? She needed the break anyways didn't she? So this would be the perfect way to have one.

In her comfy clothes and her hair tied up the red head made her way out the Hogwarts entrance and off down to the grounds. It didn't take her long before she spotted everyone and so on she walked. She reached the group and a fairly big smile attached to her face.

"Hey!" she kept her smile on for as long as she could before it faded into a yawn. With her skinny hands she covered her mouth and waited for the yawn to pass, when it eventually did she opened her mouth once more, except this time to speak. "How's everyone?" Her smile then, returned.

Brrrrr. A chill then went through the eighteen year olds body and her teeth began to clatter. Why was it SO cold?

She didn’t like the ladder, by the way. It had been nothing but trouble and Ella continued to eye Oakey, giggling a bit at his sour-lemon glare. He didn’t look scary at all when he did that, did he know? She did it back just as an example. =____= See? Adorable. She observed the bass which seemed unharmed and since her face was unharmed too she supposed it was all good. ”I love gummy worms, Oakey. Get over it.” The gummy worm battle was one he wasn’t going to win with her. Just saying.

And speaking of gummy worms, Wade was totally going along with her experiment. The blonde BEAMED and watched on with great interest. WAIT…it was good? GRIN! ”Maybe we just invented a new snack food!” Or Wade was pregnant. Didn’t pregnant women get weird cravings? Would Professor Bentley like gummy worm!pickles too? Hmmm. Also hmmm? The fact that Wade was what? Sleeping on Kaiden now? N’awww. Team nap time or something? Could it wait until after ice cream, though?

Ella accepted the ice cream from Minnie and BEAMED, adding some gummy worms to the top. She took a bite, bounced, and noticed that Wade and Minnie were calling out to Nash, who looked like he needed ice cream. Clearing her throat, she gave him a small smile and said, “The more the merrier, Nash.” So he could join if he wanted.

Ickle Kace and Ickle Tobias! N’awww! Ella gave hair ruffles to each in between shoveling mouthfuls of ice cream down. She was just really glad everyone was showing up. ”Hey bash brothers!” Yup, she was calling them that from now on just cause. “Sure, help yourself to sweets. Eyes for you, Oakey Worm. No comments, please.

Freezing? It was suddenly really cold but that just meant they’d need to use their blankets, yeah? ”Maybe Minnie was right about building a blanket fort? We could stick them to the trees or something, yeah?” GRIN. ”Might be warmer that way.” Or they could all just group hug. Group hugs were nice. Group hugs and ice cream and boyfriends which were still not he-

BEAM!

Eyes for you too, Alec Summers. Ella watched him as he greeted everyone, smiling a little to herself. He had a really nice face, Alec did. It looked especially nice when he was smiling like he was and being all friendly and happy and oh! He was adding more sweets to the pile too? BEAM! His eyes were really blue right now too which meant he was feeling good which was nice because she didn’t like when he was feeling bad. She also didn’t like when he was as far away as he was right now and since it was cold she’d just casually scoot closer to where he was sitting, okay? No big deal. She also casually wrapped her arms around him in a side hug while still trying to eat her ice cream. ”Hi you.” About time he got here.

And Loch Nessie! ”Rawrrrr!” Ella managed as a greeting fitting for a member of the ferocious trio. The red head then got a BEAM mixed with a shiver cause cold Ella was cold. ”Want something to eat, Ness? We’ve got loads of stuff. Oakey brought his bass too so we can listen to him play…eventually.”

AND BRRRRRRR! WHY SO COLD?

SPOILER!!: Notupset!Penelope

She shook her head a little in an attempt to get some of the snow out of her hair, but she couldn't tell if it actually helped much. She still felt cold all over. Hopefully they could go in soon and get warm - AFTER she won though. And only then. Because she was definitely gonna win this snow fight.

Her large bunch of snow didn't cover him as much as she had hoped, but that didn't matter because he was already clearly trying to retaliate. She crawled backwards quickly, trying to get away from the snow he was dropping. A lot of it still got on her legs, but that was better than on her head. And while she was scrambling away from the snow, her feet purposely accidentally kicked snow back up at him. Oops? Heh.

Woah, woah, woah. Don't DENT the 'do, yeah? Jeez, Pen. She had actually kicked snow into his beautiful face and made it all wet. Yeah, no cool and she had just asked for it. Because when he brought it, he brought it ON. Pfft.

And he always tended to do that because of reasons of him being awesome.

Winding up his awesome, which was saying something, he ran right at Pen and tackled her down to the ground so that her back was now deep in the white snow. What? He was in it to win it as always.

Smirking down at her, he outstretched his arm, grabbed a glob of snow and squished it in her face. BAM! Try and get out of this, Pen.
