*casually blends timelines* OH YAY THEY HAD NOTICED HIM AND WERE WILLING TO ASSIMILATE HIM INTO THEIR COLLECTIVE. YAY! "Miss Ella, Miss Wheatborn, Mr. Potter, I would LOVE to have some ice cream," he grinned in reply. "Pebbles says thank you as well." But...woah, wait a second here. Pickles? Why in blazing comets would pickles go with ice cream. Not unless.....WOAH THAT WAS A BAD THOUGHT. Did he need to talk to these kids about....stuff? Stuff that he himself just knew the scientific properties to. No, never mind. He wasn't going to do that talk. Leave that for someone else. Instead he was just going to eye these Hufflepuffs sideways for a moment. "Pickles?" He had heard the sound of some things popping and going boom off in the distrance, but he had just assumed that it had been the giant squid throwing rocks again. Had been hit square in the nose with a decent sized one as a student. Sort of still had the scar if you knew where to look. And then he heard the booming voice of AliSTAR making his appearance. "HEY HUFFLEPUFFS! I BET THE GROUNDSKEEP WOULD LIKE SOME ICE CREAM TOO!" So let's all go give him some, yeah? Ice cream bowl in hand, Airey began to frolick towards the noise when he saw Mr. Grumpy Face Groundskeeper being a major buzzkill on some students and their fun. Come ooooooooooon! Life was too short to bust kids all the time. Shoving a healthy spoon of ice cream into his mouth, a thought came over him and his frolicked even closer to the party. "Hey man, chill out and have some ice cream." He said as he offered the bowl to the man. Ice cream was really good at helping people chill out. Haha. Punny. "Did you not get my note? These three are....are....are simply doing a physical demonstration on celestial fireworks that form from dying stars - on top of practicing some spellwork. We discussed them in one of my lessons. Supernovae that is." RIGHT KIDS?! |
ohaiii. bladgers & y'ALL OVER THERE (I have no idea what I just wrote yup) Tobias' teeth were chattering but only a teeny tiny little bit. He grinned at Ella as she threw him the gummy worms but she seemed distracted by her friend, the guy they all seemed to know. And despite the cold, this huffie figured that hey, why not join in with the ice cream antics? It was weird and but someone was mentioning pickles and if there was something weirder than eating ice cream in arctic conditions then that thing would be eating pickles. Pickles were just slimy slugs of vinegar. Yeah. But that was completely not the point. Grabbing a bowl of his own, Tobias dropped all of his gummy worms into the bowl. He was just wondering what else he could add when he heard a familiar voice. The astronomy professor! Tobias was rubbish with names so he decided to just not attempt it. "Hi Professor!" the boy grinned, huddling closer to the group 'cause body heat and everything. He was about to say something else before remembering what Min had said and he turned to her. "Did you just call me Kitty?" That was cool, Tobias could deal with that. Once again, Tobias made to look up at the Astronomy professor but he was already flailing off into the not-so-distant distance. Pushing himself up so he was on his knees and higher off the ground, Tobias watched the happenings over there. He wasn't too keen on moving from this comfy place right now. Looking thoughtful, Tobias spooned ice cream into his mouth. Oh it was GOOD with the gummy worms. "Does anyone have any marshmallows?" And then he looked up again at the other people. Over there. COO-EE! "ARE YOU JOINING IN?!" With them. And their party. 'Cause the dude guy was there and then gone and Tobias was sure that all the ice cream would be eaten by the team if it wasn't all claimed soon. |
SPOILER!!: you awesome people Mika had run grabbed her things from her bag – mittens secured to her hands and dropped the fireworks into the pile that Nigel had indicated. She added her own personal ones and some of the ones from Weasley’s from the summer…gulp, the summer that reminded her of Christmas and things…and awkward. She took an awkward step backwards and was glad no one here could read minds. Cause she’d turn pink and awkward if they could. Oh hey look – the Hufflepuffs…she almost waved, stopped and glanced around. Did that mean Kaiden was there? She wondered as she ran back to Lexa’s side. [/b]“Lexa… Oh hey Mr. Firth”[/b] FIRTH. Oh holy mutilated Barbie dolls…or whatever those plastic monstrosities were called. What was he going to do send them to the dungeon to clean up exploding things? She wondered her eyes widening into a large-eyed smile. Just as she was about to speak, Professor Flamsteed stepped in. Right wait what was he saying. She nodded and smiled along with what Professor Flamsteed was saying. He was awesome and instantly rose in her ‘favorite teachers’ rating to the top level. He even beat out Elwood, and that was saying something. ”Yes, Professor Flamsteed is right we did want to try and see what dying stars would look like – I really did because of the star-in-a-jar assignment we had last term where we raised a star and then created an Astermism out of them” she nodded. Mika sent Professor Flamsteed a giant smile as well as one to the Grounds Keeper. ”They are really rather beautiful to see Mr. Firth, you want to see it?” she asked beaming like a true Ravenclaw obsessed with extra coursework. "Oh oh Mr. Firth! Did you know that Professor Flamsteed taught us that a supernova – the singular of Supernovae is a star that suddenly increases greatly in brightness because of an explosion that ejects most of the mass of the star it’s self? And and and if you have the plural a supernovae it is EXTREMELY luminous and can cause a burst of radiation that can outshine an entire galaxy!” she asked beaming and bouncing on her feat excitedly. Pulled from thin air. Yep. She didn’t have a textbook. ”Hey Professor Flamsteed, check it out – no textbook” beaming. She was SO beaming right now. |
Groundskeeper and Madness Well the fun would have to end eventually. Nigel was just about ready to cast when he heard a loud voice and whipped his head around and say it was The Groundskeeper. "Good Morning Sir. To add on to what Lex said. We decided to do it this earlier because nobody is usually here and it is the safest time." Then Nigel nodded along to what Mika was saying. Seemed about right. And look at this a Puff Party. and Flamsteed was also there. Maybe the Groundskeeper will get to distracted by Flamsteed to bother with us. Since we were basically one explosion away from being done. Now can the Groundskeeper stop yelling. |
Badgers, Space man, Fireworks people... While the rest of the team was happy eat ice cream and do what ever it was they were doing, Kaiden much preferred to just lay there. You know, if he had to part of the team bonding thing and all. He didn't know how they could do it, eat all that ice cream. It was winter, and it was cold. Scratch that, it was FREEZING. Why on earth was it so cold? He wrapped up in one of the extra blankets that was sitting there, as his teeth started to chatter. Wait... "Professor Space Man?" he said aloud seeing the man. HE wanted ice cream too? what was with people? And then loud yelling. The reluctant Hufflepuff frowned. it was all he could to to tune out the loud explosions, and now there was yelling. ugggghhhhh. |
Eyes to you, Flamsteed! EYES! Text Cut: Alexa, Flamsteed, Mika, Nigel Oh yes, she was acting all nonchalant, but Firth had enough experience with Alexa Cambridge already to know that usually meant she was guilty. But he would still answer that question. "No, 'm usually out earlier, actually. Bu' this blasted cold... couldn' roll myself outta bed very quick-like." And she went off on what he was sure was a perfectly lovely explanation. Not that there wasn't truth to it, but after this long... Eh, I'd rather get my explanation from someone else. "No, 'm not here ter join yeh. I'm here ter STOP yeh." Because no matter what she said, he couldn't see anything safe about what was going on. Alistaire was about to say as much when he was stopped by the sound of Airey's voice. Wait, Airey?! Seriously, he woke up this early? Didn't it take him, like, an hour to press and lint roll his suit every morning? When did the man sleep? But he was digressing. He shook his head to bring himself back into the conversation. This turned out to be providential in some way, for Airey had been trying to shove ice cream into his mouth. "PTH!" he said, spitting. "Cu' it ou', Airey!" he said, wiping the frozen mixture from his face. Seriously, how was he supposed to maintain authority when his esteemed colleague was messing up his face? The pauses, the stammers... No, this was Airey thinking that Ali needed to lighten up again. Sorry, Airey, but exploding old Hogwarts furniture could not pass for being an example of a dying star. "No, I did no' receive a note. An' frankly, I doubt there was one ter begin with." Ignoring the bowl of ice cream Airey was trying to hand him, he continued. "I can't see the Headmistress sanctioning unsupervised explosion of Hogwarts property, especially in this financial climate." So stop trying to bail them out. Firth = not amused. Then the students were trying to go along with the story. "Mika, though I appreciate how much yeh've learned in Astronomy this year," which was undoubtedly a lot, "please stop." He turned to the other boy (Nigel). "Really..." More like no one was there so they wouldn't be caught.. "Well i' seems ter me tha' exploding school property" he held up one finger, "in the proximity of others," two fingers and a head nod towards the Hufflepuff group, "without the ability to control where the debris lands," three fingers, "means three strikes an' yeh're out. Yeh could've hurt the creatures in the lake, yer classmates, and not ter mention yerselves." And as a side note, he added, "an' with th' way yeh've seen the castle this year, yeh can't hones'ly think that ruining th' furniture won' be noticed." |
SPOILER!!: Angry Groundskeeper What in Merlin's name was he talking about. They were not ruining th' furniture. That would take way to long to drag all the way here to the lake. Even with magic It was just random stuff from their houses, they brought back from Christmas break. Major buzz kill this Groundskeeper was. "Umm, We did not damage any school property. All the stuff was just random old stuff for our houses. We just brought it here back from Christmas Break for this experiment. Like Professor Flamsteed said We are simply doing a physical demonstration on celestial fireworks that form from dying stars" That only how to show a dying star is to blow things up. Duh. |
All of you, no quoting ^^ HEEEEEEEEY, Professor Airey was here toooooooo!!! She hadn't really noticed him with the Puffers, in fact she didn't notice a lot of things except for those moments between blasts but that was fine because she'd already covered her needed bases. This was her idea, of course she'd have thought through everything carefully. She wanted to BEAM over at him for coming to the rescue the way he did but this was business so she had to maintain a serious face and nod at all the appropriate times. Mika got a wide eyed look. ...They were in the same class but she didn't remember hearing half of that. This was why she shouldn't space so often. Or maybe the girl had been doing some extra reading? Either way she just continued to nod. This was all seeming more and more legit even the ice-cream!!! Eeep! Oh...but he didn't want any? Boo. And there he went saying things that he couldn't prove. Professors liked doing that, she'd noticed. Quite patiently she stood, smile in place and listened but once he was done she had things to say too because THIS WASN'T A BIG DEAL! Alexa put up three fingers, imitating the ones he had up. "We were here before the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Ella's their Captain, she's incharge of making sure they stay safe so she should and in fact did make sure they were at a safe distance. Just look Sir," She used her free hand to point to the Hufflepuff camp, "they're all the way over there. We couldn't have hurt them, we aren't nearly strong enough." And with that she dropped one finger. "We aren't that close to the lake either, if you'll notice--in fact me and Nigel were speaking about it earlier and we took into consideration the creatures, namely the Giant Squid, then decided not to blow things up too near. We'd have to be like powerful wizards or at least 6th years to get our blasted debris all the way into the lake and killing fishes." And she dropped another finger. "Then there's the school property bit, which is what Nigel said." And her last finger was lowered. No strikes. Game still in progress. Next batter up. "Are you sure we can't interest you in some ice-cream? It's delicious." She ended with a smile, a sweet one. Ice-cream was her friiiiend. |
not quoting but all of you mainly Firth <3 Mika was still smiling at Airey and Mr. Firth. Seriously Firth had his kilt in such a bunch. ”And I just brought fireworks potions – which don’t cause debris…they are just pretty explosions of magic in the shape of sparks of color” Mika nodded and picked up one of the jars from her bag. ”If you want any fireworks I made some, I was going to try and get everyone together to set them off this Spring in may to commemorate the Great War and all the wizards who fought to protect wizard kind.” she nodded. So she had stopped talking about the sciency-stuff but now was just talking about things she brought. ”I brought a few clay pots from home, a pillow – and pillows don’t have debris unless you consider people possibly having fun by blowing at feathers.” and feather’s weren’t harmful to aquatic life…they’d probably eat them and be happy, and the merpeople could use them for things…she didn’t know what things but they would be useful. ”Honestly if you ask me I think the fact that the pipes from the school drain into the lake is far worse for the aquatic life than a few possible floating debris…which, wouldn’t be there because of the placement of the objects in the first place.” and maybe she should say she didn’t explode anything…she was just watching because it was pretty. |
I don't know what this post is but people are here XD Ella hadn't exactly been paying attention to the display in the sky cause badgers and ice cream and boyfriend and Messy so no, she didn't get why Mr. Firth was yelling things about British Admirals and their fleets. She did agree with Airey that the groudskeeper might need ice cream, though. "Mr. Firthhhhh! Hey, Mr. Firthhhhh!" She called out cheerfully, holding up a bowl. "You want some iceeee creaammmmm?" Oh and the perpetrators could have some too if they wanted. Ella knew Lex would. She just knew, okay. BEAM. And when she was done offering ice cream, she ate some more because hey, why not. They had ice cream, they had classmates, and now they had a show. BEAM! This was a good day. "Sorry Tobias, no marshmallows but gummy worms make a good topping." Though it seemed he'd already figured that out. CAPTAIN WAS PROUD! ^___^ And Kaiden...looked like he was going to turn into a puffsicle at any moment. Yeah, that wasn't good. "Kaid, take another blanket." That was an order, y'know, so Ella tossed another one at him And then Lex threw her under the bus. Well not literally but yeah, she totally did. Ella heard and everything and she would have glared but then the little gryffindor kind of backtracked and fixed the situation so Ella would totally still share her ice cream with her if she wanted. Speaking of... "You guys should just stop breaking the rules and come eat ice cream instead!" Just saying. |
This is so late. *hides forever* You're all in this mush of a post somewhere. Giggle. That rawr. FEROCIOUS FOR SURE! "Rawwwr! To you too, Ellacutie." Seee the ferocious trio, were cool like that. They could just randomly rawr about. Foood? Did she want? Pout. Maybe. She had after all been tired out beyond from studying all morning and food meant some energy, right? "Yeah sure." She got a smile, then a pout at the shivering. Ella was cold too then? It must have been something in the air. Frown. Wasn't summer supposed to be on it's way soon though? Weather. Always so weird. Buuut Oakey playing bass guitar? This would be cool to watch. This made Nessie quite happy inside seeing her house united. This was all she wanted of them. Unity and House pride. Each of them got nods and smiled from Ness as well as greetings to those who spoke to her. Wade being first. "I needed a study break, so glad I'm here." Smiles he got, quite big ones. You know she'd always wondered. Was Wade's hair naturally like that? and WHAT in the name of MERLIN was he wearing? STARE. "You're a tiger?" She raised her brow high at him. ICKLES! She was totally going to pinch their cheeks, till she got distracted. BLINK. Why was Minnie shouting? "Glad to be here." She said as excitedly as she could. Ice cream? Did she want? Pout. It was a bit cold for that, wasn't it? ...But then didn't colder foods make your warmer or something. She was sure they did. "Yeah, why not?" she gave Min a smile. Was that? ICKLE MESSER! She hadn't seen him in ages and maybe he wasn't an ickle anmore. He got EXTRA huge smiles though. "Hey, kiddo!" Yes he was one of them kiddos whether he liked it or not. The picnic question. She supposed you could call it that so she gave him a few nods. Alecutie! How had she not noticed him before? "Hey, Alecutie!" The cutie bit was necessary, no matter how old he got. She gave him a wide smile as he told her he was awesome, especially cause he had ice-cream. Giggle. You see. The whole ice cream thing with him and Ella. It was SO cutie. Come to think of it a lot of people were eating ice-cream lately. Strange, Hogwarts was always strange. "Is your ice-cream good?" She asked watching him. How was she though? "I'm good, busy..you know studying and all that." And organizing certain things too. On the one hand she wanted to say that she couldn't wait for summer, but in reality she knew she wanted it to never come. NOW WHERE WERE THESE ICKLES? HAD THEY DISSAPEARED SHE WANTED TO PINCH THEIR CHEEKS! Ahhhh..there was o-----Professor Flamsteed. Mellow. He just got nods...because you know he was weird. Anyways back to her ickles.....or maybe not. Who was shouting like that? O_O Mr Firth. Was like the whole of Hogwarts here? ...Okay that was exaggerating. But seriously, why was everyone at the lake in this cold...besides for the Puffs...or maybe not besides them..because they could have had this inside, where it was warm and not cold. Remaining quiet and not speaking which was more because she was shivering the red head watched the staff converse. "This just got weird and interesting at the same time." She commented to no one in particular. "This school is crazy." In a good way, okay? Because convincing someone to eat ice-cream over sorting out an explosion wasn't thaaat bad, just WEIRD Professor Airey. WEIIIRRRRD. Sorry for him, but she kinda agreed with Mr Firth here. Hogwarts didn't need much more damage. Now ICKLES. WHERE WERE THEY? She was cold and cheek pinches would cheer her up. With her blue eyes, the eighteen year old scanned the Hufflepuffs looking for both Kace and Tobias. They'd have the best cheeks here due to their age. And was Oakey going to play guitar soon? To block out the crazy Professors and explosions? ...Or maybe she just needed to screech to do that. But rather not. People needed their ears. |
Nope...Oakey had not one earthly clue what the hell was happening at the Lake anymore. Mind you he had completely forgotten about the sudden cold chill that fell over them. He layed completely on his back and tried to shut the world out, most of the world. Except for the pickle he was nawing on that Wade gave him. Grabbing at his Bass and layed it on his stomach, not playing it. "Oh, I love pickles, I really love pickles, I love pickles a lot I can eat'em in the car, or on my bicycle I can eat'em in the parking lot" That was a lame rhyme.... Parking Lot, A Lot. Eh, he didn't care. He also refused to strum his bass. "but you can't eat pickles all the time that's what my mother said cos if you do, you'll turn into a great big pickle head" Come on, what was all the ruckus? He was trying to sing a pickle song, and Firth was down here yelling, and Flamsteed was down here trying to mooch their Ice Cream. Go ahead take it all Flamsteed, they don't need it. Mr.Firth could have it too. "Oh, I'm in a pickle he's in a pickle, Oakey echoed himself. I'm in a pickle he's in a pickle, this was getting good. I'm just a little seed in this big ol' world" Okay Oakey. Don't get bothered by anyone. Stay in this mood, not even Minerva, or Professor Flamsteed could ruin it. He should probably eat this pickle soon too. |
You lots are here somewhere ^___^ It feel so good to breath a fresh air well more like a very cold fresh air but he's not complaining nope beside he got to see his housemates eating ice cream during this cold weather. It doesn't surprise him that the first person that noticed him coming was his roommate. He thought that Alec would give up calling him Messy as they grow older but unfortunately for him, he's not going to stop calling him Messy. "Hello, Blacky." He gave the boy a look that said 'We need to talk about what happened to their dorm'. Messer's eyes went from Alec to a little guy who seem shy? "Don't worry I don't bite." He chuckled. "I'm Messer by the way." Let's hope that this little Hufflepuff won't call him Messy like most of his housemates. And then he heard the familiar loud scream that belong to none other than Miss Ella Bishop or perhaps he should start calling her Captain Bishop. "Hello, Captain." Grins. "Congratulation on the badge, Ella. I'm so proud of you." And for that Ella earn a bear hug and a peck on the cheek. Well the kiss on the cheek was to annoy Alec but she didn't need to know that. Ella need to stop staring at him like he's a ghost. "I've been no where." Yeah right, like Ella gonna believe that. "Sure. I'll take one." He's not going to waste a good ice cream. When he's about to ask Ella about the ice cream, a Professor was approaching them. "Hello, Professor." he gave the man a curt nod. Was the Professor planning to join them eating ice cream? Messer chuckled as Minnie shouted his name. "Hi, Minnie. How are you?" He asked the older girl. "I've been here, there and back here." Grins. "Thanks, Minnie. I think I'll get myself an ice cream." Yup ice cream sounds pretty good in this kind of weather cause it won't melt. "Yup. Its the best time to have a picnic." He said to the older guy who looked familiar but he couldn't figure out his name. Pickles? Oh he love pickles. "Thanks." Pickle and ice cream sound good, no? "Umm. I believe we haven't meet. I'm Messer." Wait. Was that the Groundskeeper? Did he miss a memo that said there would be a party in the lake? Nessie! "Hello, Nessie. Wait. I mean Head Girl." Grins. "Congratulation, Nessie." He might be a bit late congratulating her but hey better late than never, right? And Nessie need to stop calling him kiddo because last time he checked he's not a kid anymore. |
LOTS of people! FIND your name? ^_^ Okay, Alec was starting to feel bad for the stealing candy thing. Look at the guy's face! You don't take candy from that face. That was probably against, like, candy law or something. ... You probably shouldn't take candy from Candy Girl either. That was definitely against Candy Law. Alec stuck out his tongue at the boy and grinned sheepishly before holding out his bag of sweets. ... And speaking of Candy Girl... what was she doing over there? BLINK. "ASTRO MAN!" ... "I mean... hey Professor Flamsteed! Hey Pebbles!" He was joining them, right? Should they make space for him in the circle gathering thing? Because it would be a little rude if he was joining them and they were going to keep him out of the circle. And they weren't rude people so... shuffle shuffle... GRIN. And he shuffled closer to his girlfriend which wasn't bad. "You sure?" he asked, keeping an arm around her, "I wouldn't be too cold..." Lies. Maybe. "Maybe you need extra blankets instead?" But she could still eat ice cream if she felt cold, right? Of course Minnie had chocolate ice cream! Of course! Why did he even ask? Chuckling, Alec shook his head before grinning widely at the girl. "You've always got chocolate ice cream with you! It's so awesome!" he said, bouncing a little in his spot, "And can I get some please?" GRIN GRIN GRIN. ICE CREAM! CURLY WURLY WADE WAS GIVING HIM A HAIR RUFFLE YES! And to think Alec couldn't grin any wider. But he DID! Because he was getting a hair ruffle! "THANKS!" BIG WIDE GRIN. "Does it taste nice with ice cream?" The pickles, of course. Because Wade had casually been dipping the Gummy-Pickle into ice cream. Yeah... Alec noticed EVERY- O_O What in the name of... Kilt Dude was shouting particularly loudly. And not at THEM -- unless the dude had something against ice cream -- no... he was shouting at that Ravenclaw!Funny Dude, Mika and Candy Girl. NOBODY HURT CANDY GIRL! ... Cough. She could take care of herself, he knew that. But if they were exploding things, as someone was saying, he REALLY didn't want the girl to get hurt. Or the other two. And why were they explo-- OH AWESOME WERE THEY JOINING THEM FOR ICE CREAM? GRIN. Also, did Kilt Dude need a hug? Alec was totally willing to give him another one. The sixteen year old turned away from the group to grin over at LochNessie instead. Alecutie... he was never going to get tired of hearing that. They could be in their thirties and he'd still grin if she called her Alecutie and pinched his cheeks. "It's AWESOME! And there are sweets too so you could mix and match if you want?" And they could find something chocolatey here for the redhead. ... "Oh! Studying sounds... stressful!" He made a little face before shrugging, "I'm glad you're good, though!" And... Oakster. Singing. About a PICKLE. Alec swayed a little from side to side before looking over towards Messy. Heh. Blacky. Alec shook his head slowly at the nickname. But it was probably only fair since Messy was a bit of an odd nickname too, yeah? "Hey there! How's the tutu?" And that look on the guy's face? Alec gave his roommate a sheepish grin in return. Also... roommate? That cheek!kiss? Not cool, dude, not cool. The smile on his face faltered slightly as an uncomfortable feeling sunk in. He unwrapped his arm from around Ella's shoulders and looked down at the bowls of chocolate ice cream. ICE CREAM! He'd concentrate on eating some of that. And watching whatever it was that was going on with Astro Man, Kilt Dude Ravenclaw!Funny Dude, Candy Girl and Mika. Also, Mika was really smart! Did she know? |
Text Cut: Fireworks Crew So he was trying to say their parents had let them bring back a bunch of old things from their homes to blow up in an unsupervised manner? Yes, very believable. "As, er, believable as tha' sounds," which was next to zero, "tha' wheel there has bin sittin' behind the barn now for quite some time and is no longer there suddenly this mornin'." He craned his neck to look and verify that fact. "An' don' try an' tell me tha' the desk there with the Hogwarts crest on th' side is from one of yer homes." It would be easy to check, as all the desks had 'PROPERTY OF HSoWaW' stamped on their undersides. In other words, you may have brought stuff from home, kid, but those two things at least are certainly school property. "Which doesn' make me too inclined ter believe the rest of what yeh said." He turned to Mika. "Yer concern for the school drainage pollution is admirable. However, tha's not the issue here. Even if all YOU brought is fireworks, those are still dangerous ter be usin' withou' supervision." Not to mention against the rules. And then Alexa Cambridge happened. His brows arched in surprise, then they quickly plunged into a scowl as she put her fingers up, imitating him. He let her finish her rant, because he knew she'd yell it out even if he made her stop. But once she finished, he made clear that she was done. He cleared his throat. "Tha' was one o' the mos' disrespectful things a student has done ter me!" The finger counting and sass, that is. "I don' appreciate bein' mocked, an' I don' appreciate yer tone. An' don' try an' tell me yeh didn' mean it that way, because whether yeh did or not, tha's what yeh did." His hardest lesson to learn as a teenager had been that HOW you say something often is more important than WHAT you say. His mother had pounded that into him long enough that he was uncomfortably aware of when it occurred. "I've tried over an' over ter treat yeh like a young adult, Alexa, an' explain wha' several o' the problems were, an' tha' was my thanks? Yeh've proven that I wasted my time." So he was going to treat her like the kid she was acting like. "Yeh broke school rules with the fireworks, explosions, or wha'ever it is yeh want to call what yeh were doing. Plus, yeh treated a staff member disrespectfully." Bad combo there, girly. "Yeh broke rules, yeh're goin' ter be punished, case closed." The next bit was addressed to all three of them. "I'm goin' ter have ter talk with the Headmistress abou' this. Yeh'll be hearing from me soon abou' yer punishment." Then he made a hand gesture that clearly signified the discussion was over. "I wan' yeh ter clean up here and then head straight back ter yer common rooms. An' believe me when I say I'll know if yeh dawdle along the way." The stern look he gave them once more communicated that this discussion was over. |
most of you are in here I think? Tobias had absolutely no idea what was going on. But that didn't mean he was going to ignore the activities. This was actually rather interesting even if it was completely and absolutely totally confusing. First, though, there were people here talking to him. No marshmallows? Awww that was sad... but there were other sweet things, and that was NOT sad. That was a Very Good Thing. Tobias smiled and sprinkled some more gummy worms on his ice cream. He had more sweets than ice cream of course, because he still thought that everyone was crazy for eating ice cream in this weather. Ooooh and more sweets from the bag Alec had STOLEN. Ehehe. Tobias GRINNED and took some with a "Fanks" and a smile before sticking his tongue out right back at the older boy. Nyeh nyeh, ehehe. But then his attention was caught by the other boy that Tobias was meeting for the first time. Messer? Ohhhhhhh, so they weren't calling him Messy to be mean. Well that was okay then. Tobias had let out a little chuckle at the 'I don't bite' comment... that always seemed to make him laugh... and gave a little wave. "Hi Messer," he said giving him one of his GRIIIIINS. "Nice to meetcha." He heard the head girl comment on the proceedings further away from them with who Tobias assumed was the groundskeeper. "You got that right," he said to her, nodding his head. Very srsly of course. Srs bizniss. Then he was distracted by the head BOY and Tobias gave a little giggle. "I think Oakey likes the pickle," he smiled after he listened to the insightful song. That was definitely a contrast to everyone else who was crazy about ice cream. Pickles seemed more like weather-suitable foodstuffs. But back to that commotion over there. Wow the dude really meant business... Tobias was super glad HE wasn't in trouble. The idea briefly went through his mind to go over there and offer some gummy worms to the guy 'cause maybe it would make him smile, but rethinking that told him that it probably wasn't the best idea. So Tobias just settled for staying exactly where he was. "Ooooooooooooooooohhhhh," he said, addressed to the Huffie entourage. "They're in troubllllllllleeeeee." What had they even been doing? Tobias wasn't sure. He settled back down on the blanket again and ate his sweets, pulling his blanket tighter around his shoulder. "Is professor starman coming back?" |
Nigel did not seem to care about the hufflepuff gathering or Awesome Hair. Even though he did have awesome hair. Or even the ice cream, It did seem the Groundskeeper could use some. The Claw figured talking back to him would only make matter worse. Possibly even earn him a one way trip to detention. Though his retort would have been true. His parents did not care what he did as long as the house remained standing.Plus they were hardly home. So it never really mattered. Still no idea about this wheel he was talking about or the desk. Weird. MENTAL FACEPALM. Don't tell The Groundskeeper about using fireworks. They were banned. Though Nigel did not know whether making explosions was banned or just frowned upon. DOUBLE MENTAL FACEPALM You don't talk to an adult that way. Even The Groundskeeper. Groundskeeper was on the same level as Caretaker to Nigel. Important. But could care less about. Though Nigel would assume Lex did not care at this point. She seemed to love getting into trouble and not getting out of it. Though it would make a lick of sense if Lex had brought the wheel and desk here before Nigel got here. She was the first one. But please that would take to much planning. They just wanted to blow stuff up. Is that to much to ask? Well it seemed that they were to get in trouble at a later date. Wonder what Truebrudge would make him do as punishment. Interesting to think about. Now onto cleaning. Nigel walked over the the tiny bits a debris and started cleaning. Easy enough. |
... ..... Ravenclaws weren't all that smart. It had been said before by her and Lottie and she was seeing it again. Nigel lied when they could have explained the stuff they had and now everything they said looked like a lie.Either that or he really hadn't seen the stuff which might have been true since he just blew stuff up the moment he arrived. She wanted to shrug but figured Mr. Firth would take that the wrong way so she kept perfectly still. He was saying more things that weren't true and her brows crinkled in confusion. She hadn't been sassing him or trying to be disrespectful. At the moment she was trying to correct him because the way he told it made it worse than it already was. She glanced over at the two. This had been her idea which meant she should have been the one to do the talking. That was how it worked. When Lottie had ideas she did the talking. Now that she had an idea it should have been the same. By now she was only barely listening to him as she kicked at the stones by her feet. No, she wasn't looking him in the eye, why would she when he was accusing her of acting like a child and mocking him. She gave up. Mhm. No talking, just rock kicking--unless that was disrespectful too? Saturday had barely started and she was being sent to her Common Room. Why'd she always have to get sent there? Hardly anyone stayed up there on Saturday and she wanted ice-cream so bad now; this was depressing. She'd have to ask Alice to get her some. Was he done? Alexa half-heartedly raised her wand and vanished everything Nigel hadn't. This was faster. She didn't want to stay out here any longer. The area they'd been using was now perfectly clean. She gave him a last look, "Enjoy your day Sir." waved to Mika and Nigel then walked off. Professor Airey got a small smile and a wave for trying. Yeah they were headed in the same direction but she wanted ice-cream, not company. |
People and things and stuff! The lake was chaos at this point. Not that Ella minded or anything, it was sort of entertaining. The blonde continued to happily nom on her ice cream with gummy worms as she simply just watched. Watched and listened cause Oakey was doing a really interesting song about pickles at the moment. The blonde even took a break from her nomming to hum along for a few bars. BEAM! The sixteen year old turned her attention back to Alec when he continued to ask if she was cold. Ella shook her head and poked him gently on the nose. "I'm okay and you will be cold without your jacket so no worries." Besides, the hugging helped. Oh and an extra blanket? "That couldn't hurt, actually. Good thinking." And she reached forward, pulling one up and over them. And then Messy was congratulating her and Ella BEAMED at him. "Thanks Mess!" GRIN! ...O_o...Oh no. Oh no.no.no. Ella loved hugs and normally she wouldn't be uncomfortable by a cheek kiss but she knew Alec. They'd talked about this sort of thing and she could sense even before he moved away that he was upset about it. SIGHHHHHHHH. The blonde frowned down at her ice cream and glanced over at the boyfriend who was doing the same. Ugh. She scooted a little bit away from him, annoyed he removed his arm from around her, and focused on Tobias instead. "Yeah, I think they're in trouble." |
The Fireworks Crew, Invading the Puff Partaaay Text Cut: Nigel and Alexa Well, this was a pleasant surprise indeed! The boy was respectfully silent and began cleaning up straight away, which wasn't a shock. What was a shock to the Scot was Alexa's reaction--or lack thereof. She wasn't looking him in the eye, but perhaps that was her version of trying to control her temper, bite back a retort? "Maybe yeh've come further than I thought," he said softly, mostly to himself. A small, hopeful bit of pride lodged itself somewhere near his stomach. His gaze wandered over to the Hufflepuff gathering. A Captain, Head Girl, and Head Boy among that crew... To the miscreants he said, "Well i' looks like yeh've gotten pretty much all o' it. Thank yeh, tha'll be all. You cin go now," he finished, his demeanor slightly less stern than it had been a moment ago. "Now if yeh'll excuse me..." Firth was headed for the Hufflepuffs. Text Cut: Oakey, Ness, Ella Firth made his way over towards the Hufflepuff gathering, addressing no one in particular. "A bit early for a gathering, I would've thought." He consulted his watch. Barely eight in the morning on a Saturday. Perhaps the Hat had been right about Ali's placement after all. Clearing his throat, he gestured at the three badged students leaders. "Oakey, Ness, Ella, may I have a brief word in private wit' yeh?" he asked, gesturing behind him about 15 yards. He turned and began slowly walking towards the rendezvous spot. |

"Oh no, looks like trouble looks like trouble for sure the bath tub's full, it's fulla bubbles an' water's all over the floor Well, I'll bet you a sickel, that I'm in a pickle" Oh? Mr.Firth wanted to speak to Ella, Renesmee, and him? Oakey sat up from the blanket and looked over at Mr. Firth. "Sure, um. Is it okay to leave Professor Flamsteed with the Ice Cream though?" He stood up and eyed the Captain, and Head Girl. He shrugged his shoulders and followed the Groundskeeper carrying his Bass with him. |

He needed to speak with them? Blink. Ella returned Oakey's look and glanced at Ness before nodding her head. They couldn't be in trouble, could they? I mean, they were allowed to be out in the morning as long as they weren't skipping classes or setting off fireworks. AHEM. Anyway, the sixteen year old glanced back at her team and said quietly, "Save us some sweets, yeah? That means you, Tobias." GRIN. She then followed along behind Oakey and Mr. Firth, hoping Loch Nessie was following too. |
Text Cut: isn't it pretty? *touches pretty siggy* :3 Now HE was flailing too and this was NOT helping. He could flail somewhere else and NOT around her when it was only making her sink deeper into snow, which in turn was making her even colder. She did not wear enough layers of clothes for all this. The sweatshirt already felt like it was soaked through, and the melting snow was making its way through her regular shirt now. This was NOT okay. Penelope flailed more and tried to push him off. "So are you!" Seriously, it wasn't like anything he was doing was helping either. What WOULD help? "Get off!" That. FLAIL FLAIL FLAIL. |
*doesn't wait for Tali cuz I'mma be busy tomorrow* Text Cut: Oakey, Ella He heard Oakey ask something behind him. Why are so many kids at this school obsessed with ice cream? He had half a mind to suggest some sort of health awareness seminar to the Headmistress. "Sure, Oakey. Tha's fine." There was plenty of the stuff left in the kitchen even if something were to happen to it anyways. When he was out of earshot of the other students, he turned around to face the small group that he had summoned. "Right, yeh three. Now I know yeh saw an' heard what was goin' on down a' the lake with the explosions an' fireworks. I think i' was clear tha' what they were doin' was not only agains' school rules, bu' it was also putting others in danger." Including their own heads... "An' as a Captain, Head Boy, and Head Girl," he nodded to them each in turn, "I would've expected yeh ter have done something about it. If yeh weren' comfortable confronting them, then at least yeh could've sent fer myself or another staff member." So. What did they have to say for themselves? |
we are sorry for his childlike rage :3 Alright AliSTAR. And yes, Airey knew that that was not how the name was spelled but right now he honestly did not even care. WAY TO BE THE BUZZ KILL OF THE CENTURY! Before the groundskeep had gone all bossy and sassy pants on everyone, the astronomer was going to suggest that the three be made to clean up their mess, supervised, the muggle way and be put to more cleaning duties around the castle. But nooooooooo...Mr. Buzz Kill just had to be all depressing and even reject the ice cream. Which, by the way, he did not shove into your face. A adults thought students were overdramatic. So you cut it out, man. STARE. NO BRO FOR YOU! Airey stood off to the side grumbling internally at the entire scene. He was all for keeping kids safe and rule following and all that - but he had done worse in his day. Probably why he had such a high tolerance for some of their antics. He flashed the three a small smile and a light shoulder shrug. He had tried and all this could have passed without all those sad looks. He was SURE that Miss Cambridge would be stopping by his office later to discuss this. Her and Miss Wisteria seemed to come to him when they had been emotionally compromised. He idly bent over and picked up a clump of snow and began to form a ball in his hands. Maybe the remaining kids would be willing to have a snowball fight after all this was done. You know? Pick the cheer back up. Of course he was listening to what the groundskeeper was saying to the Hufflepuff student leaders as well - even moved closer as they moved away. He was curious by nature - like a good little Gryffindor. Well... excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse him?! Find another staff member. What did that make Airey, huh? Talk about maintain authority here Firthy. Not like you are Superman in a kilt or anything. You just accused your colleague of not even being on Hogwarts staff. Ball of snow now formed in his hand, he sent a mischievous look towards the student first before he threw the snowball right at the back of Firth's head. HA! Ignore that, Mr. Groundskeep. Now, anyone else want to have a snowball fight? Airey made a fantastic moving target for those who were curious. |
