The Lake Behind the castle lies the Black Lake. Though it may appear vast and lifeless from quick glances out the castle window, if you spend enough time around here, you will discover it to be teeming with life. Perhaps the most notable resident is Bartholomew Henry, the giant squid. Though rarely seen, it is not uncommon to notice him lazily sunbathing in the warmer months. Other denizens of the deep include a colony of Merpeople, grindylows, and, on occasion, Moaning Myrtle—fresh from the castle, flushed into the Lake by an unaware student. |
Penelope had wandered down to the lake. Not really for any reason, she just wanted to get outside again. It was nicer out here than it was inside. And even if it was only just fall, winter would be approaching quickly, and then the outside would be less appealing with all the cold it would bring. So she might as well enjoy as much warm weather as she could possibly get. Taking a seat just a few feet from where the lake water met the land, she watched the water for anything interesting. Like maybe the Giant Squid. He'd be cool to see. |

Bliss/Natella XD Finally the day was here! Ok, Tag sounded too excited. He should be right? But he was more nervous, because he had gotten everything else already set up, but this thing, the thing that was making his heart thump eradically, well he had only had, what, maybe two weeks to figure out exactly what he wanted to do? Yes, the boy was very indecisive. In fact, he went back and forth all summer with this decision because he wanted it to be just right. The leprechaun wasn't sure as to why he was so nervous. He'd done this before, so what made it so different now? That's right, it was Bliss' birthday. An he couldn't mess this up. The lake is where he went to. He and Bliss, when he asked her when they wanted to hang out and where, had decided on the lake cause it seemed to be 'their' place. He tried to hide all his belongings by covering it up with his jacket, even though it wasn't cold outside. Where was the girl? Seriously, his head and body would explode. |
Ronnie walked down to the lake, a frown on her face. So far this year wasn't turning out the way she had expected. She had needed some fresh air from that yucky, moldy, dusty common room. Bleh. She sat down on a large, smooth rock that sat right in front of the water. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her chin upon them and stared at the water. She felt soo...depressed. It wasn't just everything going on at Hogwarts. It was her kitten. Oliver. He was gone. Ever since the feast ended, he had randomly disappeared from his cage. How? She had no idea. She'd searched everywhere for him. She felt a tear run down her cheek and angrily wiped it away. But she couldn't hold it in...soon enough, she had her head in her hands, crying. |
Quote:
Jory was grinning widely as he made his way down to the Lake. "It's so awesome to be back,'' he said to no one in particular. "Hallo, there butterfly!'' A bright yellow butterfly had just fluttered by in front of him and was heading in the direction of some flowers. "Ooooh! Pretty flowers! Just like what mom has at home.'' The over happy boy stopped and plucked out one of them. Wasn't nature the most beautiful thing ever? Jory happily walked along. Wait. Was that Ronnie over there? It was! "Rooooonnnniiieeee!'' He called out grinning even more, now jogging towards his friend. Why did she have her head in her hands? "Ronnie! Look what I got you!'' He held out the flower. The Puffer dropped onto the Rock beside her. "Are you crying?'' Why would she be crying? It was such a lovely and awesome day! Why would one be sad on this sunny day? Jory had only the urge to smile! |
Sylvester slowly made his way down to the lake, a smile crossing his face as he looked out over the open area waiting for Kahlan to finally get here. To be honest he was glad that she'd be here soon, last seeing her at some point on their trip to Hogwarts Sighing, he ran a hand through his brown hair as he sat himself down on the grass just over looking the lake. The scenery was actually quite nice, and it was good to get out of the dusty common room even if he'd have to pay to get back in... hopefully he still had money on him! Now just to wait for that girl!!! |
Quote:
"It's a bit different from what we've been told it would be isn't it?" she said, nodding towards the castle. She could honestly imagine what it would've been like before this but now... now she wouldn't describe it as the same place with everything that she'd seen so far. In fact, she felt quite worried for the school as a whole. "I'm guessing you guys also had to pay to get into your common rooms... I myself find it stupid, and the rooms are filthy!" she complained, before blushing and looking down. "But we didn't exactly come to speak about that now did we? So... I brought a few things" the blonde offered, pulling out a few chocolate frogs amongst other stuff that she'd backed into her bag. |
Quote:
Bliss headed down to the lake, which was Tag and Bliss' designated 'spot', with a definite swing in her step. It was late afternoon and after having spent most of the day with her boyfriend, she FINALLY decided to head down to the lake. She hoped Tag hadn't been waiting for too long. It was about time that she set off, too, as the sun would be going down in a few hours. If Bliss was honest, she would have been content spending her whole birthday with West, but she had an agreement to stick to. Not only that, though, she also did enjoy spending time with Tag, one of her closest and randomest friends. OH, OH, OH. She could see him now and he looked .. frantic or excited or something like that. He looked like it was HIS birthday, not hers. It wasn't THAT big of a deal. Give her just ONE jelly bean and she'd be content forever. Bliss was just easily pleased like that. Uh-huh. "TAAAG," she called, running the last little bit, reaching his side quickly. MEGA!BEAM for you, Prince Tag Sir. |
Quote:
She was there already?! ALREADY? Sure he'd been waiting for a while but she was already there, bounding her way towards him. Before she reached him, he made sure his presents were well concealed. They were good presents, he thought, and he didn't want Bliss getting a sneak peek before he passed them to her. So, he made sure his jacket covered the entire area of where the presents were. "Ugh, yes, hi, Bliss." He awkwardly said while he scratched his head while she stood beside him. "Sit down, Bliss." Now it just sounded like she was his dog. "YES! Right, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JELLY BEAN!" Then, from all his nerves, Tag leaned forward and gave Bliss the most awkward, stiff hug they've probably ever shared since their first hug. Your presents are right here. Are you ready for your first present?" He said as he patted the spot beneath his jacket, as he sat down onto the grass. There were quite a few. But, there was one that took a lot of time to find. An he believed it'd top all the other presents, perhaps even from her *entire* birthday today. |
Quote:
She raised an eyebrow as he held a flower out to her, saying he got it for her. "Oh, thanks Jory." she said with a small smile, taking it and gently setting it next to her. Theeeen he noticed. Oh great. She nodded, looking down at the water. "Yeah." she muttered. "Oliver is...gone. I can't seem to find him anywhere." she said, sniffling. |
Taylor walked down to the lake. She had told Brodie to meet her there. There was a small bag full of knuts in her jeans but it wasnt showing. Tay was going to give it to him even if he refuses. Tay sat down on a bench by the lake and waited for her boyfriend to come down. She wondered if he needed a tour guide since he just transferred. |
Brodie smiled as he walked up to Taylor, "Hey," He hugged her, the smile growing slightly, "So, how's my favorite Claw doing?" Okay... Taylor was the only one he knew... But even if he did know others, she'd still be his favorite. |
Quote:
|
Brodie kissed her forehead, "Still my favorite, and I'm fine. Still trying to find my way around." He smiled and looked at her, "And what do you have for me?" He started to sway with her. He gently spun her and pulled her close again, "I do wish I could've been with you in your house though." |
Quote:
Jory was aghast. Little baby Oliver ran away? "We haaaaave to find him! Or he would come back...'' Where could he be? Jory could feel some of his hyperness ebbing away. But just some. "Don't worry, Ronnie,'' he said consolingly. "Oliver is a cat.'' Well, that was obvious. "I mean,cats always come back, don't they?'' It was not like Ronnie ever mistreated him. "When was the last time you saw him?'' They could still hunt for the missing cat. |

She frowned. "He should be back by now though, right?" she said, looking at Jory with a worried look. Yeah, it'd only been a day but what if he went outside and got eaten by a monster in the forbidden forest?!?!! She couldn't stand the thought of it. "I last had him in his cage while I was eating. I think I forgot to lock it." she said, shaking her head. Ugh why did she do that?! She should of been more careful. She suddenly stood up. "Jory, will you come look for him with me?" she asked, looking down at him. |

Brodie smiled, "I'm sure of it." He smiled and kissed her back, "I..." He looked at the money grudgingly, "I'll take it..." He took the bag with a small sigh. He didn't want to take it, that was quite clear. He chuckled slightly though to the next part, "Oh, you think really think that?" |
Quote:
Poor Ronnie. She looked so sad! The boy suddenly had the urge to hug her. He placed his arms around her and gave her a squeeze. It would surely help her feel better and she'd smile soon? "Try not to worry too much,'' he said consolingly. But even he was worried. Hunt for little Oliver? Of course Jory would! He jumped up. "Sure! Maybe we should check the cage first and any other of his usual places?'' He had a feeling Oliver would be safe and sound. He was sure of it, as a matter of fact. "Don't worry, Ronnie. We'll find him.'' And then maybe they could get something to eat? He was hungry. |

For Rachie =3 The start of Autumn is it? It felt like time passed by quite faster than most people thought. Summer had come and gone and autumn was just an alarm clock to tell them that school has officially started and when there is school..... there is homework. But none of that today. Today is a resting day... sort of procrastinating with studies. It's not like there are OWLs for her to answer at the end of this term. Nope. So yes, she can take all the rest she wants. She made her way outside of the castle and reached into the lake. Juliet took a deep breath and then went near it. She did stretch her hands up a bit. and then to the left and to the right. She took a seat on the grass near the huge tree and opened her bag where she took out a medium size plastic bag full of strawberries. YUM! Nom. nom. |
Clement still had his school bag on him. He hadn't bothered going back down to the dormitory all day. He certainly didn't want to pay a ton of knuts every day. So he'd just brought everything with him. thank goodness that he was good at making everything smaller and lightly. It meant that his bag wasn't overly heavy. Though it had been a bit of a pain having to enlarge everything. But he would happily take that over having to pay to go get each and every book he needed from his dorm. He wasn't really in a mood to study, or do any homework after lessons had finished. And he didn't really want to have to pay to go back to the common room, or to eat, so he decided to head out to the grounds. At least you didn't have to pay for that. Yet. He was certainly regretting not going back to Beauxbatons at the moment. But he wouldn't moan. He'd liked Hogwarts not for the school really, but for the friends he had made. Moving into the grounds, he wondered down towards the lake. He remembered from last year that it had been pretty down here last term, so figured he would go head down there. Maybe he could have a little bit of a nap. He hadn't got much sleep the night before. Running his fingers through her lengthy ginger hair, he moved it out of his eyes, and walked down towards the lake. Hmmm. His memory hadn't failed him. The lake was looking rather pretty. |
Quote:
Taking another bite from the strawberry Juliet saw someone familiar. Slytherin but not entirely acquainted. But yes, he is familiar. She has come across him around the common room. What was his name again? Juliet began tapping her fingers on her leg as he kept looking at the guy. Oh well, why not share the strawberries? She's not doing anything anyway nor is waiting for anyone. She gave him a friendly smile and noticed that he had his school bag with him. "Common room isn't being a bit of a convenience for the moment" students are usually just hanging outside. She then offered the plastic bag to him "Strawberries?" he could take two if he wants. |
Quote:
He laughed at what she said though. "Oh yes." It wasn't being very nice. He wasn't too happy about that. But they had to deal with it. The food situation was worse to be honest. And he hadn't even bothered to tell his mother about that yet. He was pretty sure that she was going to go mental. He wasn't coming back home though. He couldn't rely on his mother for ever. He was going to be off age soon, and so wanted to start being a little more independent. Ooh. She had strawberries. Food was food, even if it was fruit, and Clement was not going to be saying no to food. "Thanks." He murmured, as he sat down next to her, and took a strawberry out of the plastic bag. He took a bit, and smiled. "Mmm...yummy." |
Quote:
When the Slytherin boy took a seat beside her and didn't hesitate in taking the strawberry Juliet gave him a smile. Hey, she's finally making new friends. That's good because her mother still thinks she needs more of them. "I don't think we have been properly introduced..." she said casually "... I'm Juliet, by the way." lovers of strawberries. Or err, fruits. And familiar boy's name issssss?????? Cue, drum roll... |
Quote:
"We haven't...." He mused, after he had swallowed the rest of his strawberry. He knew it was rude to talk with his mouth full, and his Mother would kill him if he even tried to forget his manners. Good thing he wasn't then really. "It's nice to meet you Juliet..." He murmured, a smile on his lips. Juliet. That named suited her. "I'm Clement." |
Quote:
She once again handed the Slytherin the plastic full of strawberries. "Take more. I'm planning to finish eating them today before they overripe" and no one wants that. So why waste it. Juliet then took another piece and took a bite of it. She usually prefer strawberries dipped in chocolate. Come on, who doesn't like that?!?!?! Clement... "And to you as well, Clement" that's a rare name. "That's a nice name." Not many people have that name or well, Juliet hasn't met people with that name. He's the first one actually. "Are you in the sixth year?" or maybe fifth? seventh? |
Quote:
"Thanks." He flashed her a smile, before taking another strawberry. They were really nice. And he hadn't had dinner yet, so was feeling a pretty hungry. These would tide him over. Though he didn't think he'd be able to skip dinner, he'd be to hungry in the middle of the night. That would not do at all. He liked his food too much. She thought his name as nice? He did tend to get some remarks about his name. "Thanks..." He murmured, with a cocky smile. "It's french." which made sense considering that he was french. |
Quote:
French. Quite frankly she misses conversing in French, it was really a miss. "French origin... even nicer" what? Juliet gets homesick a lot. "My name is not French though but I am" she giggled. Hey, they now have something in common other than their house that is. Juliet took another bite from the strawberry. Yum yum yum. "So tell me..." she said and then swallowing the fruit on her mouth before continuing "... why haven't I seen you that much around" taking her handkerchief from her pocket and then wiping her lips. "I mean, I saw you last year but not before that" unless he was a new kid at Hogwarts like Juliet as well. "I hope you're not too shy" or not but you know, they're new acquaintances. haha. |
Quote:
She as french too? A big grin came across his face. "French people are the best..." Which was so true. Because he was French and he was amazing. "What part of France about you from?" Because People from Paris were so the best. That was where he was from. And he loved it. Disneyland was there. And that was cool too. Thinking about Paris made him a little homesick actually. Christmas would be good. "Oh...." He nodded at her words. "I transferred from beauxbatons later term." And had clearly loved it so much that he'd come back. |

Quote:
She gave a half smile as he squeezed her. "Thanks, Jory." she said, hugging him back tightly. She felt a little better when he said not to worry as much. Maybe she didn't really need to be so worried.. She smiled, glad he'd come. "Great, thanks!" she said. "Let's just start looking around inside." she said with a nod. "Where should we start?" she asked as she began walking with him towards the castle. |
The blond girl was bouncing and skipping by the lake – her hair flying all around her face. As she skipped and stuck her hands out in front of her to throw herself into a cartwheel, but something went wrong. Something as in instead landing on her feet she landed rather awkwardly in the mud sitting – well, unintentionally sitting crossed legged in a large expanse of mud. Yeah, that wasn’t awkward at all. Especially since the splooshing sound that came with her landing on her bum in the mud wasn’t completely audible. The most audible part though was the obvious laughter. “Oh phooey” she muttered before laughing once more. All smiles and laughter – that was the good thing. She was just being her strange old skipping self. To try not to attract more attention to herself the girl just sat there in the mud like it was all on purpose. |
Quote:
And found that Mika was laughing. Merlin. Mo crouched and peered into her face, but Mika didn't look hurt... just muddy. Very very muddy. "You appear to have a little something right there on your face, Creepy," he pointed at her cheek... which was entirely covered in mud. |
Quote:
Though when all he did was point to mud on her face and say she had something on her face she couldn't help but laugh. She just smiled. Brushing her hand over the mud-caked face. "Did I get it?" She asked still beaming all the while. "I think I need to use that spell from charms on myself to be able to do cartwheels" she laughed. "So Macabre been up to anything fun? other than attempting to rescue mod-covered damsels?" she asked in a cheekier tone than usual. |
Quote:
French people are the best... That statement made Juliet burst into laughing. It's not that she had complains with it, she just thought that.. well... errrr... it is pretty funny. "I like that" she looked at him and then pointed at him "I like you" she added. It's true, he's a really funny guy with this kinda laid back personality plus with awesome red hair. Yeah. Which part of France... Hmmmm.... "somewhere in Aix-les-Bains" she replied. It's not Paris but it's just as great. It'd be nice to live somewhere in Paris though. They have tons of thing to do there. Juliet's usually at home and doing stuff like, archery. Boring stuff. "I'm going to take a wild guess here and say you're from Paris?" she said in her confused tone. Whaaaaat? It's a guess. It's worth a try. And as for more common things between them, Beauxbaton adds to the list. Juliet's eyes suddenly sparkled as she found someone who is transferred student, again. "Whoah!" she murmured and then suddenly shook her head as she glanced back to Clement "I mean, wow, Beauxbatons" ohhhh this is getting fun and interesting. Wonder he looked familiar? Juliet's not to sure, she barely knew half the people in her class back when she was at Beauxbatons. |
Quote:
Eyeing you, eyeing you. Awkward Tag is awkward, so, awkward Bliss is awkward, too. Ahem. "Hi," she said again. Wait, she had to sit down? He was ordering her to sit down? Normally, she wouldn't take it, being ordered around, but it was Tag and clearly, he had a reason to want her sit down. Before she could even start to sit down, however, she was being wrapped up in a hug ... and a very awkward hug at that. Bliss hugged him back, squeezing slightly before letting go and plopping herself down on the ground. She looked up at him and kept her eyes on him, even as he moved and sat down beside her. "I'm ready when you are, I guess," she said and beamed slightly. OH and see? She'd known there was something in his jacket. BUT WAIT. "Presents?" she asked, "with an s on the end? Plural?" BLINK. She didn't need or deserve more than one, surely. All the more reason to eye him. Yes? |

PresentS hehe Quote:
With all his excitement and nerves Tag just bounced his legs up and down as he sat cross legged from Bliss. "Yeah, presents Blissy bear. Saving the best for last. The very best. Mhm. " He hoped she liked all of her presents, some took some time figuring them out, and the others was just a mere chance of finding where to buy them. "Sooooo" The leprechaun wanted to hear the verdict. Also, why was Bliss looking at him all weird? |
Minerva made her way out to the lake, Fluffy on her shoulder, she had been taking the pygmy with her everywhere lately. Feeling bad for her being in the dorm alone she didn't want the cute fluff ball to get sad now did she. As she got to the lake she looked around, nope Ariana wasn't there yet, but no surprise she was probably at tryouts still or off with Oakey, but Min knew she would come eventually. Sitting at the edge of the lake she put Fluffy in the grass and watched the puff bounce around. She couldn't help but giggle at how cute she was. |
Quote:
He ruffled his hair and got mud on his own face as well. "Is there a cartwheeling charm, or do you mean a cushioning charm? I think you just need a spotter." Someone to hang around and watch while she fell in the mud. What were friends for? "I don't rescue damsels, by the way. I figure most of them would rather rescue themselves, and it would be rude of me to assume self-rescue wasn't a possibility. But other than not rescuing anyone, I haven't been up to anything fun. Sadly." |
Quote:
He had a good point and mud on his face. “Er, Mo…you’ve got,” she pointed towards his general face-region, “face” she just smiled laughingly “stuff…mud” yep. She had said that all so wonderfully. Wow. She had sounded oh so intelligent there. “And hey, spotter…that sounds smart – what about a spotter with a cushioning charm cast one them so if I you know flail into them they don’t get knocked about too badly…less bruises and things” she shrugged with a laugh. She was trying not to laugh as much but the idea of her flailing and landing on top of someone just made her laugh. She was one of those girls who laughed at herself constantly. Luckily for the people around her the laugh was actually a tolerable almost cute one…nothing like the one from that Nanny show she had found over summer. That laugh would and did give her nightmares. “Not up to having fun?” Mika asked her eyes widening in shock. “Well this cannot be! If you need to blow off steam ever you know where to find me” she smiled. “And you know its not rude to offer help…its chivalrous – well, that’s atleast what I think when I’m not in a fire-breathing-dragon mood.” An idea popped into her head. “Hey! We should plan some pranks sometime as a way to distract you from not wanting to have fun” beams all around. Yeah she was so sly. If he was distracted from not wanting to have any fun then he’d be having fun. Ravenclaw logic for the win. |
Quote:
Down he went before landing gracefully next to the boy person. He set the package and attached letter down. "Hoo." Here, person. You're welcome. Then with a lazy (but majestic!) stretch of his wings, he rose and soared back into the air, heading back the way he had come. SPOILER!!: Delivery! |
Quote:
"Did I get it? I'd ask you to get it, but I feel like you're a lost cause, Creepy. I think we'll have to roll you into the lake." Mo stood up then and offered his hand to Mika, in spite of the fact that he was just gonna get himself muddy again. Still, he was a gentleman. "I think you're doing it wrong, too, if you knock out your spotter. Maybe cartwheels aren't really your thing. Didja consider somersaults instead?" Much less dangerous. "You're not a damsel, Creepy. You're definitely not helpless. You see a dragon, you'll tell it where to go," Mo gave her fingers a squeeze before dropping her hand. "But no, I'm not sure I'm really in the mood for pranking right now." He was in the mood to be crazy and reckless, but not for planning. |
Quote:
“Yeah you got it” she wasn’t going to tell him he hadn’t. That would be rude. When he said he would have to roll her into the lake she just laughed. “Aw, darn…I was hoping to stay dry today” she laughed and then he offered her his hand. She gave him an apologetic look before taking it – she wasn’t mean clearly she didn’t want him to be covered in mud. “Thanks” she smiled as she took his hand and stood up. When he brought up cartwheels not being her thing she couldn’t agree more – but when he brought up somersaults she just snorted. “But that’s the problem…if you are trying not to get all mud-covered then somersaulting by a lake isn’t a smart idea.” She laughed at the image she had in her head – clean all over the front and muddy in the back – like a mullet but mud style. “I might try them inside – maybe oooh! It’d be fun to try and do them on the staircase to the boys dorm…so a somersault on a thing that turns into a slide…only thing with my luck I wouldn’t stop and I’d either roll out of a window or into something painful and expensive.” The expensive things seemed like it’d be more of a problem right now – what with the turnstiles at the dorms. Mika just blushed and smiled when Mo said she wasn’t a damsel – the blush, was more for nerves than anything else. Compliments weren’t her thing they always made her ears go red or her nose, well really her entire face would go red. Today she was lucky only her ears and nose had gone a bit red (normally it would go all clown-nose red). “Oh you.” Alright the flush-faced-ness could have been because of the finger squeezing but she wasn’t going to say anything about it. Nope. She just smiled brightly when she realized he had said she’d tell a dragon where to go – that was the best compliment ever. “Thanks I mean…telling a dragon where to go would come in handy if I were a dragon trainer” she just laughed a bit. That wasn’t what she was planning to be but it was what her little sister had told her to be…but then again Gen had said Wagon Wainer because she was still about two years old. “Hey! We should go into the lake! Well…I should cause im muddy…mudtastically muddy” she just beamed. “Hey! I have an awesome idea – you know that project for Astronomy class? Cleaning things…do you want to try to black-hole the mud off of my face – wait…no, that could be bad it might suck me in there” she muttered the last bit, “I am just going to go run into the lake” she said with a laugh and turned toward the lake. "should i just run and jump? Or roll...somersaulting in could be fun?" She asked Mo with a laugh. |
Quote:
"Ooh... i know." He did. It was a very pretty part of France. Which reflected within her obviously. Because Clement thought that Juliet was really pretty. Wow. Was she a stalker or something. "Correct..." He mused with a grin. He loved his home city. "The best city there is." Of course it was. It was the home of good food, and Clement really loved the Paris food. He was missing it actually. Maybe he would owl his mom and see if she could send him some. At least he wouldn't have to pay for eating all the time. "Yeah..." He mused with a laugh. He did miss his old school. Especially now. But he loved Hogwarts too, and he really wouldn't change where he went to school anymore. "Bet it's clean..." |

The tawny owl swooped low as he found the student he was looking for, the flapping of his wonky wings making his presence known, not that the girl person and her companion couldn't see him heading directly for them. "Hoooooo." He swooped in gracefully and landed near the girl with the letter settling beside him softly. Staaaaaaaaaaaaaare. Treats please. SPOILER!!: Letter |
Quote:
As she tucked the letter into the inside pocket of her robe, she realized the owl was still there. Did it want something? She didn't have any owl treats. Just a couple cat treats...would that work? She pulled a small treat out of her pocket and offered it to the owl. "You want that?" |
Quote:
All he cared about right now was the treat in front of him. He quickly grabbed it, slightly hotting with approval. Nice girl this Penelope was. Really nice. With another bite, and a long hott, like kinda saying thank you, Furmy flapped his wings and went up and away, back to his owlery |
Tora had been told all sorts of stories about the lake but hadn't actually come down yet. Now, however, her curiosity about the lake had won over the need to get homework done and so she found herself walking along the edge, her shoes in hand, and her feet no more than ankle deep in the water. She walked like that for some way before she thought about what was really in the lake. Was it safe to even touch the edge? She almost immediately dismissed this irrational fear when she realized that the school even encouraged swimming in the lake (they did put a swimming dock out there after all), so it must be safe. Unless you get pulled under by a grindylow like Gram had been in her third year. Then again, she had said that she was swimming further out then just the very very edge. Eh. There were enough kids around that if Tora was pulled under someone would probably come save her/ notify a teacher of her demise. There was no one that she really knew though, and Tora wished she had asked one of her fellow Ravenclaws, maybe Isobel, if they had wanted to come walk with her. Maybe they could have gone on some sort of exciting adventure or something. Or not. It was cool to just walk by the water's edge too. |
Quote:
Finally getting tired of this standing business she flopped to the ground by the edge of the lake. Almost at sea level...lake level...whatever. If he surfaced too far out she wouldn't see him but she suspected he'd come closer to the shore. Lex should have brought Lottie with her, she really should have. In the mean time she got to scribbling. The parchment had only half been filled when she left her Common Room, but only because she was going to get it finished out here, which she was doing now--OH HEY A FIRSTIE! Lex looked over at the girl that was getting closer with each step she took. "HAI!" She practically shouted, waving at her. Company was always good for Giant Squid watching. |
Quote:

Quote:
"Heya!" She shouted back, also waving frantically. Then she thought of her earlier predicament with deciding whether or not the water was safe. The older student should know! "Oh, do you know if it's safe to walk in the water and all? You know, with the grindylows?" She asked running over to where the girl was sitting and plopping herself down next to her. She decided that she was going to take the enthusiastic 'HAI' as an invitation to sit, since she really didn't feel like standing anymore. |

...Enthusiastic and an asker of odd questions. Pffft, Ravenclaws. "O'course it's safe, you could go for a swim too if you wanna, just...not during the winter, yeah?" That wasn't advised, Nooope. Well actually, on second thought...if the kid was a decent point earner she could go for a swim...she wouldn't be missed by the Gryffindors. Last place wasn't happening, okaaay?? "I don't think I've run into a grindylow so far, maybe the Giant Squid has something to do with that--have you ever heard of him?? Seen him while walking maybe?? Said hi? Know who he is?? Ever thought to visit him??" The questions just kept pouring out. This was a topic that interested her so naturally she wanted to know everything. Speaking of everything... "My name's Alexa, what's yours?" That counted as need to know information. Nodnodnod. |
open to anyone! After looking through the lake in the Slytherin common room, Audrey decided to finally make her way to the lake, above ground. She hadn't seen a mermaid or any creature for that matter the whole time she was down there so she was curious as to whether there was anything in the water at all. Approaching the lake she bumped into someone. "Excuse me," she said, without a hint of irritation in her voice. |
Quote:
"We can try your somersaults somewhere else. Or you can," Mo decided as he took back his hand and crossed his arms. Mika got a long look, and then Mo added, "Don't go in the lake. Wet mud is a lot harder to vacuum up than dry mud. If we're going to do this, we have to dry the mud first and then clean you off." He gave her a stern look. Bossy!Mo was bossy, and he stepped closer to point his wand at Mika. "So first... Siccus aerous." The spell dried out the mud on Mika's shoulder and arm until it was light and flaking. "Now then, I have to go get one of the vacuum thingies. Two. I'll get you one. Be back in a few minutes?" |
Quote:
She stopped when Mo commented on wet mud – true wet mud was all evil and stuck to things. She should have remembered that – she had after all jumped into a mud bog as a kid all those years before. When Mo got all Bossy Mika’s eyebrow raised up…and it stayed there – the spell had dried the remaining mud that was on her face and like a failed beauty routine it had stuck to her eyebrows. Back in a few minutes…sure there wasn’t much she could say. Really, her face was kind of stuck and when she moved to talk or wiggle her eyebrow back into place she felt it cracking and peeling and it wasn’t all that good feeling. She hummed out the sound of approval and just stood there looking around. She was dry and covered in dry mud. Before he left she tried to say "Please be fast" but it sounded more like "weee-zee mast" she couldn't even tell what she had said...hopefully he understood that it was just the mud talking. |

Geez, this Gryffindor was asking more questions than a Ravenclaw like herself! And Tora asked a loooottt of questions. But that was good! "Well..I've heard of him. But I've never seen him- yet. So I haven't said 'hi' but I know who he is and yes I've thought about visiting him a couple times. It would certainly be cool to swim down there, meet him and visit for a while. Oh his name is Bartholomew. Just so you know." Obsession much with Bartholomew? "Oh- I'm Tora Galla-oof!" Quote:

There were some things a boy never wanted to see, and skin sloughing off a pretty face was one of them. When he returned, Mo tapped the vacuum and said, "Vacavus" without even looking at Mika's face. Nope. Not going to do it. Nightmares. How had she gotten so MUDDY, anyway? Did she face plant on one of those failed cartwheels? "I"m just going to... try your sleeve here first, okay?" He poked the vacuum hose at her sleeve and sucked up as much of the crumbling dried mud as possible. |
Quote:
When she glanced down just flicking her eyes toward her sleeve she watched in awe as he sucked away the mud from her sleeves. Yay! She was far less mud covered now. As he wasn’t looking she opened her mouth wiggled her face, twitched her nose and did all things face-moving-related so the mud began to peel away. Slowly she felt her face was moving with less resistance. “Can you do the face…just get it all off in one go?” She asked excitedly as she stood there being vacuumed. The next thing she was going to do was once she was mainly clean maybe vacuum the mud that had fallen around her – dried mud on the ground flaky gross mud. This was totally wicked – it was like shuffling off mud and the skin looked smoother – not like she’d do this again face planting wasn’t how she’d want a spa treatment…and this wasn’t spa like at all. It was dry caked on real mud not fancy pants mud. |
Has Audrey/Root.less tree as well ^^ SPOILER!!: Tora "Well..." Lex leaned back onto her elbows and cast her gaze to the lake for a moment. The questions the girl had were perhaps, just as curious as the first one. "O'course there are spells for that but I'd like to think you're too smart to go swimming with your wand on you in case something were to go wrong and, for your argument's sake, a grindylow pops in and snatches it. That being the case you would have no wand and therefore no means of keeping warm while in the lake and with temperatures like what we get you'd have ten minutes at most before your heart freezes over and you join Moaning Myrtle in her bathroom." She gave a casual shrug before looking at the girl again with a grin. "But, you know, that's all hypothetically speaking." Sigh. Someone else who'd only heard about him. Not much use to her now was she? "I know his name, I prefer Mr. Giant Squid, and it would be cool. I heard he came up for a lesson once...but I wasn't here so I missed it." Pity really. "And you have a rather odd name, did you know?" Galla-oof? Merlin! Oh, wait, wait, wait, that right there might have had something to do with that other girl running into her. Lex looked up at her, taking in the girl's features with a curious gaze. "Hello there." Her eyes glances to Tora, noting the growing irritation and merely shrugging at it. It wasn't her who'd been run into so she couldn't really care. "Will you be joining us? I don't suspect we'd mind." The appearance of the new girl caused her to miss everything the first year had said after that. |

He couldn't handle the pressure. "I'm not going to vacuum your face. What would you do if you lost an eyeball or something? What would HE do? He'd feel horrible. Instead, Mo stepped forward again and brushed the mud from Mika's face with gentle fingers. It was probably SO DANGEROUS to suck on people's faces, right? "There now... you're looking more like yourself already." Only then did he tap his vacuum hose again with his wand, "Vacavus." He carefully removed the flaking mud from Mika's neck and collar before vacuuming up the flakes from the ground. Just because he could. |

But right now, they had more pressing issues at hand. They must find Oliver. "We should start looking for him wherever he frequents the most,'' the badger said, nodding and looking around as if he expected to see Oliver bounding toward them. "Where would that be, anyway?'' The Kitchens? The Lion's dorms or Common Room? Jory hoped Oliver was alright. He couldn't imagine anything bad happening to the little furball. |
Transfiguration HW Post 4 Kace decided it was time to take his gargoyle outside and enjoy the fresh air. He managed to walk down and find the lake, i mean it wasn't too hard to find. Besides his sister told him many stories about this location. She met the giant squid after all. He was keen on meeting him but now it was time to focus on homework. He got the box out of his bag and opened it up. It was actually still pacing in the box. He forgot to use the finite spell...woops! But it was in no harm! He smiled at it and he let him wander in the box for a little bit. "Alright little guy now time to touch the grass." he smiled and placed him on it. He smiled and spread his wings in delight. "Alright little guy, let's see can you move your right foot?" he asked it and mimed moving his right foot. The gargoyle copied what Kace was doing and it seemed like second nature. "Hmm...lets see you do the next foot mr. smarty pants." The gargoyle grinned and moved his other foot no problem. "Now walk through the grass." Kace edged him on. He stood up and walked through the grass. He actually liked it and was smiling non stop. Kace was smiling too and taking in the fall breeze. |

She just laughed. “But I have to admit losing an eye gives me an idea – heh, eye-dea…” she laughed, “pirate for Halloween” she beamed at the thought causing more mud to loosen a bit. When Mo took a step forward she blushed – luckily it was hidden by her brown flaky camouflage. So when he started brushing the mud off she just let out a breath quietly. She didn’t know what she thought he was going to do to get it off but it had made her nervous. When he began to vacuum her neck and collar she just laughed. It was so ticklish – darn it now they knew her weakness. Tickling wasn’t fun when it made you squeal like a little piggy every time it happened. “Heee-ooh-no.” She let out the weird line of gobbledygook and laughed some more, “ti-tickles it tickled” she somewhat giggled ad as he moved to vacuum the ground. |

Juliet has got to stop worrying about NEWTs. Quite frankly she was kinda like this from the start of her fifth year, being all scared and whatnot with her OWLs. Yeah, she needed to stop worrying because for one, she's not in the seventh year and two, she's not really taking her NEWTs this year. Chill time for the sixth year. Phew. But she did giggle when Clement pointed out that it would be tiring. Yep. E does stand for Exhausting. "more like nastily exhausting" she mused. "Ugh. Tell me about it" she said rolling her eyes as once again she realizes that her NEWTs are not that long away. But she will worry about it when the time comes. Not now. Charms and Astronomy. Juliet is quite okay with charms but she seems to be having problems with astronomy the most. "Astronomy?" she gasped as her eyes immediately gazed back to Clement's. "That's cool" she added, a bit shy. "I'm never good with Astronomy" no she wasn't. It is quite difficult for her and she doesn't know why. Professor Airey is a nice professor, it was just Juliet and Astronomy. Hehe. "I'm more of a COMC and Potions kind of person, I guess" she snorted. Well, everyone has their own strongest and weakest subjects. "I don't go to Paris as much though" if only she already knew how to apparate. But not to worry, this year, she will definitely learn it. That's for sure. "It'd be nice if we moved there or something like that" which is sorta impossible... kinda but oh well. "It is the best city there is" she repeated. Clean? Juliet once again mused 'Beauxbatons is always clean" it was as if being clean is part of their school's mission. "Even the students have to be properly dressed and the hair and the nails and the shoes" she started giggling at the thought of having to go to school there for 3 years. "Too prim and proper" she didn't like being prim and proper. "Do you miss it?" she looked at him, maybe he does? |

She then turned to the newcomer and motioned her down. "Well, come on then!" She said obviously still a bit irritable. Oh well, this was the nicest she was going to get to someone who had just nearly run her over. |
Transfiguration homework post 3 Since Professor Bellaire gave them the assignment, Christina always brought her mini gargoyle everywhere. She needed to train them. Okay, what should she do with this little thing? After it almost jumped to the pond and flew too far from her place? She made a visit to the lake with her little But at least it worked, right? Maybe Christina needed to teach it how to dance. |
Quote:
"You could use a sticking charm, that's one way to get it to stick but the ones I know are permanent sticking ones," there probably weren't any other kinds when she thought about it, "then you'd have to probably use a very painful method of removing it after. Otherwise you'll have it stuck to you and won't be able to use it. But that's just hypothetical as well." And there was another shrug. "It's much easier to wait for it to get warm...or go swimming before it gets cold, if you ask me--that's not hypothetical, by the way." Just a suggestion. |
Yeah, Tannner wanted a nap. She had just been swimming and walking skipping and jumping her way across the path, and she was getting tired. The sun was fun, but going outside all day was tiring and she wanted some sleep now. She had, after all, woken up early for this day. Still semi- wet from the swim, she lay down on a patch of grass, throwing her shoes randomly to the left and then rolling over to look at where they landed. Thankfully, they did not land in the lake, and landed lamely to her left. Now she would feel more at peace. Good. Sleep came quick, and so did random dreams that would make any sane person laugh. She had a dream she was being chased by the giant squid in the lake, that merpeople swam with her, and that she aced all of her classes and then did the newest American dance craze. Nope, it didn't have to make sense, apparently. As she slept, she didn't even notice that grass was sticking to her clothes a bit, and that if she rolled too much she would look like the swamp thing. Actually, that might be funny. She could probably horrify her Pain in the Neck like that. Although it'd probably track dirt around school. She was trying to stay out of trouble this year. |

He finished vacuuming around her neck and immediately stepped back out of her personal space. She was giggling and hopping around like a pygmy puff on chocolate covered espresso beans, and he was going to end up sucking off her lips if she wasn't more careful. DIDN'T MIKA WANT TO KEEP HER LIPS? "Be careful, Creepy. You don't want me to suck off your face. You need it for seeing and tasting and smelling things," Mo brandished his vacuum hose at her. "Sorry about that. I wasn't trying to tickle you. And... you still have a real cute laugh, you know that? Does anyone ever tell you?" He was embarrassed and immediately focused his attention back on the vacuum. "Vacavus," Mo tapped the hose with his wand. As soon as the vacuum started up, Mo started picking up dirt and small rocks from the ground at their feet. Dirty ground needed picking up. |

Even though she was dying to know why he was squinting at her face she just stayed quiet for a minute. That stern look he gave her when she was all wiggly made her stop moving. Except to breathe since she’d never stop breathing…unless she couldn’t and if she couldn’t well – that wasn’t something she wanted to think about. “Okay I’ll be more careful” she spoke quietly and barely even moved her lips to speak. Talent. It was all because of that creepy doll her mom had given her as a kid…Mr. Smiles; he’d come to an untimely end out of the window one day. It wasn’t an accident. Mr. Smiles still gave her nightmares. When Mo had finished vacuuming her neck-area, she was relieved really. No more wiggly giggly-laughter. “Its o-“ she stalled slightly as what he had said just registered. Her ears reddened under her hair. “kay” she finished, it didn’t even seem like she had been even slightly shocked. “I didn’t think you were it just happens…besides, I don’t go around telling people ‘Hey touch my neck and I’ll wiggle like a Mexican jumping bean’” she shrugged. He had just complimented her. She glanced down at her feet for a moment, “ugh I really?” She asked stammering a bit. “I, no. You are officially the first person to tell me I have a cute laugh – my sister says I more cackle than anything.” She shrugged. Yeah but that was India being India. She was still watching the ground and just raised her eyebrow at Mo when he cleaned up the mud off of the ground. “Hey! I have an idea – do you want to possibly be partners for the clean-the-school assignment Professor Flamsteed gave us? We could possibly go and clean the kitchens – and make food that’s not gross?” In other words she was slightly hungry and didn’t want to pay to go into the |
transfiguration homework post 4 Teaching a gargoyle to dance? Well, maybe not. Because she didn't want people judge her as an insane girl. She already felt that she's a little bit insane because she was talking to them. So.. No. No need to teach it dancing. Then, what should she do with her gargoyle now? Christina just stared at her mini gargoyle and casted the spell again. "Piertotum Locomotor." Okay, how about asked it to do some acrobatic movement? Because they needed to train them for a circus right? "Can you do backflip?" She requested. Then she watched her gargoyle did a backflip. Cool! She couldn't do a backflip either, so should she felt a little bit envy now? "Then, cartwheel!" She watched her gargoyle also did a cartwheel. Seemed like it became a little bit tamer than before. "Finite." All right, how about some rest? Because training a gargoyle was a bit tiring for her. |

transfiguration homework post 5 Okay, enough for the rest, Christina. Then she back to her gargoyle petted the gargoyle's head. At least it didn't make any weird act anymore. Looking around, Christina noticed gravel around her and suddenly she had an idea. Let's see if this gargoyle can do something with this thing. She smirked and grabbed one. "Piertotum Locomotor." Then she put the gravel in front of it. "Can you do something with this? Maybe lift it?" She asked and waited for the respond. But the gargoyle just stood still, no exact movement. Huh? She just GLARED. Well, she still tried if it worked. "Okay, can you kick it? Yeah, kicking the gravel." She asked and waited. Perhaps it could, right? She watched again until the gargoyle moved its foot and.. YES! HER GARGOYLE COULD KICK THE GRAVEL! But... "Ouch!" the gravel hit her forehead. Huuuuuh. Well, maybe that's enough for today. It's almost evening and she needed to go back to the common room. Christina packed her stuff (including her little gargoyle) and left this place soon before the sun set. |
Transfiguration HW post #3 Dancing: Check. Star Jumping: Check. Whilst Theo brought his gargoyle down to the lake for some more practice, he spent the whole way thinking of other things he could teach it to do, because he was having a bit of a brain fart. He arrived at the extremely busy lake and popped the gargoyle on the grass. Theo took a look around him first, surveying every person around him for security reasons, and then he pulled out his wand. Let's DO this. "Piertotum Locomotor!" He zapped the gargoyle aaaand... quickly! He needed a command for it. "JUMP!" Wow, possibly the most boring command ever, but it still made Theo giggle like a schoolgirl. Could it do anything else, though? Theo held out his hand in front of the gargoyle and lay it flat on the ground. Now... "Jump into my hand." And without any fuss whatsoever, the thing jumped straight into his palm, and then it stopped. "Keep jumping!" Don't remember telling you to STOP, hmmmm? |
we're HERE.. *flops* Quote:
|
Transfiguration HW post #4 Theo soon got bored of the jumping, since it wasn't a very exciting trick. But this was the hard part, for him anyway. He squinted his eyes at the bopping gargoyle, pointed his wand at it, and... "Fin-ee-tay. Fin-eetay. Fin-eeeeeeetay." No, that was way too much. He knew it, but he didn't know that he knew it. "Fini-te!" The spell hadn't worked, and it continued to jump about annoyingly. Theo realized it was because he had hesitated a little during his pronounciation. No problem. "Finite!" The gargoyle froze mid-air, then plonked to the ground with a thump. Poor guy. Did he REALLY want to make it do more tricks, meaning he needed to do more of that darn Finite spell? Of course he did. This homework was for Professor Bellaire, it had to be his best efforts. "Piertotum Locomotor!" The gargoyle sprung back to life, as he pretty much seemed to have that spell down, which was good. He watched it for a moment, then thought of something quick. "Do a back flip!" It did one, then stopped again. "Keep doing back flips." Until he said so. Mwahahaha. Theo was TOTALLY gonna wear this thing out. |
Nigel decided to go to the lake for a bit of reading. He had his bag loaded with the comic books he had forgot to read over the summer. His uncle kept him busy for most of the summer and left him with little free time. So Nigel decided to bring all the new batman and avengers comics he had because those were his favorite. He looking around for a tree he can lean against. He did want some shade and a place to sit. Nigel did not like reading comics standing. He reached into his bag and pick out a random issue. Now he was ready to enjoy a afternoon of reading comic books. |
Transfiguration HW post #5 "Do a forward roll... and then back flips." Theo ordered, stroking his imaginary beard. Wouldn't Professor Bellaire be so impressed if he had taught his gargoyle a little routine? Was it actually teaching? Or would it all just disappear when he cast Finite? Never mind, she would still be impressed that he had learned this spell. He watched his gargoyle obey his commands, and soon decided that he had it down and didn't need anymore practice. "Fi... Finite." Theo pointed his wand at his gargoyle and it turned still as a statue straight away. Wow, did he really just cast it without any problems at all? Professor Bellaire would be SO proud. And maybe she'd let him keep his gargoyle as a token of his awesome spell casting. Maybe if he had the proper eye fluttering. Theo tucked his wand and his gargoyle in his bad and skipped away from the lake. It was FAR too crowded here. Theo hated the lake. |
Transfiguration Post # 4 The Lake! Yeah that would be a nice place to do homework, yeah? Kat liked the sight of water. Like a seascape of some sort. It was relaxing and no dust because that was sort of important. The rooms in the castle, specifically the Slytherin Common Room you know, were all filthy and dusty. Kat was prone to sneezing cos of it. They needed to clean things up a bit, if that would help a lot... which it certainly would. But now she was sneeze-free! Kat took her gargoyle here for a 'walk' (but she carried him cause he was inanimate at the moment. Yeah. Cough.) The lake was a nice place and stuff, so why not here? Once she arrived there, she sat cross-legged on the ground and placed her gargoyle in front of her. "Piertotum Locomotor!" Kat casted it with a wave. Gary then started moving a bit. Okay... so... "Do a handstand. GO!" And it did what it was asked. BEAM. "You're getting better and better, Gary, you know that right?" So yeah. Making momma proud. "Finite." Time to go, or else Gary would be swimming with Bartholomew Henry. |
Transfig HW post 5 After leaving the library study area, Daichi had decided to go to the lake. He thought that the gargoyle wasn't listening to him to do a somersault because he had been practising on stone floors and maybe it just wanted a grassy area to practise. And yes, he was aware that the gargoyle was made of stone, don't judge him. Finding a nice space near the lake, the Slytherin placed the gargoyle down on the grass and it fell over because it wasn't as steady as a stone floor. Taking his wand, he pointed it at the gargoyle and waved. "Piertotum Locomotor!" he said and watched how the gargoyle sprung to life again. "Hey Garly, do a somersault" he commanded and the stone rolled over its side. Seemed like it didn't mind where it was it just liked to roll.... "No, somersault over the grass like this" He steadied his hands on the grass, placed his head on the ground and rolled forward. A perfect roll! He sat upright and brushed his hair with his fingers. Woah...if only he could have done this in his first year. "Like that, now you do it. Somersault" .....Why wasn't it moving at all? Aw man! the spell broke again. This was stupid! "Piertotum Locomotor!" the waved his wand and Garly *woke up* . "Somersault" Daichi waited and bit his lower lip as he watched the gargoyle place its stone hands on the grass and ...rolled.. like a somersault over the grass. HA! "Good good!" he cheered and clapped his hands. "Now bow" the gargoyle stood up and bowed waist down. EEEK can he keep him? "Okay, great job Garly Finite!" he grabbed the stone gargoyle and left the lake. |

Seeing her lay down in the grass Min nodded, "Yeah I've been a bit sore from tryouts myself. I feel like I should done more strength training or something over the summer. I forgot how many muscles I use in my arm hitting the bludger." She was sore, but didn't care she loved it. Smiling.. how was she.. Pulling her knees to her chest she leaned her head on them and looked over at Ari. "Brilliant.. amazing.. wonderful.. any of those would work." She laughed at herself, but she couldn't help it. Other then her horrible time in Astronomy and her extra work in Charms she was doing, the rest of her life was going great. "What about you? How are you?" |
Tranfiguration Homework 1 post 2 Before attempting to get to work properly, Sarah decided to do an experiment – could her Greg walk a tightrope? In order to do this Sarah had found a spot by the lack and stuck thins into the ground at either end of her rope length. Then she tied the rope at both ends, making sure it was taut. She then put some protective charms on so that if Greg were to hit the ground (very likely)he would not break. Then she tested it on herself. She tried to walk it. The rope cut into her foot and soon she was on the ground yet Sarah knew it was her fault and the rope was taut enough. “Piertotum Locomotor” she casted then she placed Greg on the starting point. He swayed with the rope. “walk on the rope” was Sarah’s command. Sarah’s brow furrowed as she worked hard on the ‘intent’ part of the job. Yet the image of Greg falling off kept coming to her mind and as a result Sarah soon heard a ‘plop’ as Greg landed on the ground. He was still whole, in one piece yet Sarah knew that the playing time must end and she needed to move on. By now a cool breeza had come on so Sara put Greg back in his box and cleaned up the play area. She wuld continue her job inside. |

"Well. Your laugh is cute, but you are STILL dirty. I'm going to vacuum your other sleeve, and then we can go to the kitchens if you want. Although... d'you want to change clothes first, because you're still a little flakey and I'll end up following you around with the vacuum cleaner rather than actually cleaning anything." And that would be entirely besides the point. "Vacavus," Mo turned on his cleaner with a touch of his wand to the nozzle, and he attacked Mika's other sleeve with some vigor. "Don't you dare giggle or I'll suck off your lips. You know I'll do it." There now... almost all the mud was gone and she wasn't a flaking mess. |
Quote:
“Thanks, I’m glad someone likes it because I just like laughing” she smiled and when he commented about her still being dirty she just frowned. She wanted the mud off of her already. Though when he brought up following her around with a vacuum getting all of the mud flakes up she had to stop herself from laughing seriously he had kind of threatened to suck her lips off with a vacuum. So she just made a little eep noise and nodded. “Fine I will try not to giggle…just don’t get my neck” she muttered slightly trying not to move too much as she didn’t want to accidentally get herself all ticklish again. So she just stood there. When he had finished and she wasn’t as mudtastical she just beamed. “Thanks – and yeah I’m going to change.” She nodded "so…do you want to meet in the kitchen then? And make awesome food like toast?” she asked because that was obviously a safe and not lethal food option. |
Transfiguration Post #5 Inhaling a large gulp of fresh air had a grin spreading on this Baltazar's face. She loved the outdoors - though she loved her bed a little more. Sitting under a tree, she sprawled her legs in front of her and crossed them at her ankles. Yep. This was definitely the place to do some homework. Taking the gargoyle from his box and setting him on a nice patch of not-yet-yellowed grass, Peyton watched it closely. They were on a hilly part of the grounds, but it'd just do. Taking her wand out once more, she said, "Piertotum Locomotor!" This time Giles jolted to life. It had Peyton beaming at it. "Okay, do cartwheels. Lots of them," she said, carefully so it'd understand her. Giles spread his gargoyle limbs and began cartwheeling. "Oooooooooh!" How awesome was that? Oh..."Wait!" The gargoyle seemed to have grasped her command, but due to where they sat, he began cartwheeling downhill. "Come back to me, Giiiiiiiles." Peyton had no other choice, but to stand up and chase after the animated gargoyle. |
Potions #3 Now salt water was another ingredient that had just come to Clement's head. He smirked to himself, as he wandered down towards the lake. At first he hadn't been too sure it would work, he had no salt. But then he figured that the kitchens must have salt. First he would go get the water though. He approached the lake, grabbing the little container out of his bag. Perfect. Bending down by the waters edge, he dipped the container into the water, and filling it about half way up. Standing back up, he put the lid on. Now just to get the salt. Now he could walk back up to the kitchens, but he was feeling a little lazy. So he was just going to accio them instead. Pulling his wand out, he pointed it up at the castle. "Accio salt jar" Now he just had to wait. Hopefully the jar wasn't going to hit him over the head, because that just would not be good at all. Ahh. A few minutes later, and the jar was coming towards him. He held his hand out, and caught in. Squatting down, he placed both the jar and container on the floor, and opened the container, with the water in. He sprinkled some salt in, about 2 teaspoons, before putting the lid back on, and shaking it. So that the salt water could mix all together. Grinning to himself, after making sure the lid was on tight, he popped it into his bag, and wandered away from the lake. |
Potions Ingredient 1 Just find ingredients. Well, that could be anything surely. Mud. Water.... HEH, water... Theo thought about that one long and hard but he didn't wanna start being funny with Professor Lafay, especially since she was getting pretty snarky with him lately. What did HE do wrong? Theo was a great student of this school, right? As for the ingredients, Theo walked all the way to the lake because that seemed like a good place to start. His legs hurt, though, so it had better be right. He got onto his hands and knees, with a little pot and looked for... BINGO. After shuddering a little, Theo scooped up a little spider that he had found creeping through the grass. That was surprisingly easy. He also saw a few ants and a caterpillar, but the caterpillar freaked him out like woah, so the spider would do for now. The Slytherin lifted the pot up and watched the creature jumping around everywhere. Poor fella. |
Potions link #4 Minerva walked down to the lake in search of another ingredient. She was struggling on to what to get for her last ingredient. Knowing that the student garden and animal barn probably had everything she needed, she began to wonder why she was at the lake in the first place. As she wondered around, stopping under a tree and trying to decide if she should turn and go somewhere else. Maybe she would look in her book first to see if there was anything here that would pop out. Sitting down she pulled her book from her bag. Skimming through different things, when she came across Acorns. Hmmm looking up at the tree she was under. Nope this was the wrong type of tree. Standing she looked around and spotted an Oak tree. Walking over to it she looked around the ground and began gathering a few acorns. Placing them in her school bag, she was thankful that she had decided to check her book before walking clear over to the barns. |
Potions! Jory hurried along the shore of the Lake, looking for the spot where he had seen those butterflies the other day. He was mighty sure he saw a caterpillar or two also. "There it is!'' he muttered, spotting the familiar place. Yes, there were the flowers also. Like the one he had given Ronnie when she was feeling sad because she wasn't finding Oliver. He headed over to the shrubs ad carefully began to lift the leaves. "Got one!'' he said a few minutes later. Plucking the leave with the caterpillar off of the shrub, he put it into a small ink jar, he had taken from his bag before he came down to the Lake. He had cleaned it out of course. He added three more leaves into it, before hurrying off again in search of more ingredients. |
Potions Ingredient #2 Nigel looked around for another ingredient and could not think of anything. Well there was plenty of grass. So he bent over and pulled some grass from the ground. Well now he had his second ingredient. He put it in a test tube and put it in his bag next to the bottle of water. Nigel wondered were he could find some awesome dirt or something else. He had no preference as to what the next thing will be. |
He had not thought this through, and completely explained why on retrospective, it sounded like a terrible idea. Which was not a difficult conclusion to draw when you'd taken off your cloak, rolled up your sleeves to your elbows, and the hem of your pants to your knees, kicked off your socks and shoes and found yourself nearly knee-deep into the lake in the middle of a Scottish autumn. Terrible idea indeed. Ezra would've admitted as much to anyone, which spoke volumes of how fantastically terrible his idea had been. Ezra was a shivering, a little bit, which was counterproductive when anyone tried to catch a semi-aquatic frog. He was supposed to be still, he was supposed to be quiet - so he inhaled sharply, and shook violently for five seconds with his eyes closed. Then he relaxed - or tried to - and waited. There was a frog, nearby, which Ezra noted was slowly approaching him. He knew enough about frogs to know that they were easily scared, and also knew enough about frogs to know that with patience and kindness they were easily captured, too. So when the frog was within touching distance, Ezra's hand was already in the water, and he allowed his index finger to gently stroke the underside of the frog's chin. It took a while - long enough for the rest of his fingers to join his index one -, an eternity maybe, but the frog climbed onto his hand. With some interest, he noted that its chin was white, and he felt a small stab of guilt for having captured a lady frog for potions. What if it was a mum? Ezra tried not to think about it as he held the lady frog to his chest as he splashed his way to shore, no doubt scaring several other frogs in the process. Good. That way they'd swim away and no one else would be able to get one. Ezra muttered a small "Sorry" to the frog as he stored it in the empty jar, and quickly sealed it with the lid. Now, back to the castle. But first he had to put on his socks and his shoes and fixed his uniform, which he did and wondered if it wasn't a good idea to just make a stop in the dorm and change before going back to the class. He was cold. |
