Penelope just laughed when he mimicked her. The mimicking obviously meant he knew she was right, he just didn't want to admit it. That was okay though. SHE knew she was right, and he was cute when he got all sassy.

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

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

There was nothing like the sound of terribly loud explosions to wake you up on a saturday morning. Only the most important things could get her out of bed at such an early hour (just ask Lottie).

This was the only available time though. Once it got to being later people would start flocking to the lake wanting to look out or find the Giant Squid or something else that would no doubt distract them in such a way that they would get themselves blown up. Once that happened you'd hear that it was her fault instead of the idiot who refused to watch where he was going.

Still, 7 wasn't all that early. Not early enough to make the explosions prettiful. Maybe she should have asked Nigel to meet her a bit earlier? Something to keep in mind.

She watched the pile of rubble, just useless things she'd found around the castle, while she waited on him to get there. Already she was anticipating the BOOM.

7 am was the perfect time to make things explode. Most people were not up and the Lake would be empty. Best not hit anyone the debris. Now he could not remember if Lex told him to meet her earlier or not. But whatever. It was still pretty early.

Nigel had brought with him some prime materials to blow up. It would be awesome to make them explode different colors and watch it. Maybe they could make fireworks and sell them. Eh, just an idea. He walked up to her from behind and noticed her paying attention to a pile of rocks. She did not seems to notice him. Which gave him an idea.

There was only one way to make them both as wide awake as possible. Nigel pointed his wand at the pile and cast the spell.

BOOM!!

Now that was an explosion.

BOOM!!

Blink. Blink.

MERLIN'S BEEEEARD!!!

She knew she'd been expecting a 'BOOM' and they said the mind was a powerful thing but THAT was ridiculous! How had it even? She didn't do anything yet and Nigel was late--Nigel! Lex whipped around, now understanding that she didn't in fact have the power to blow things up in her mind so that one Puffer kid was perfectly safe. Bummer.

"Nice one! Nearly gave me a heart attack while you were at it." GRIN. Oh but now he was here and they could properly get started. "I've brought some things and I see you have too. This'll be epic, I imagine a morning full of explosions, can you picture it?"

And there was that dazed look, the one that said she was completely lost in the idea and couldn't wait to get started.

"Are we gonna see how high we can get it while we're at it?"

Sorry for the hugely late reply! >_<
 

Harvey could not believe what she had done, sure it was fun but still. But it brought a smile to his face as she dried him. He nodded "Yup all better" he chuckled as he shook himself careful not to drop his lovely ice cream cause that would be a disaster! He shook his head as she asked if he wanted a warming charm "No but thanks for asking, I think I am good. But you can warm yourself if you want just not me" besides if she did warm him she might accidentally warm his ice cream and melt it and he couldn’t have that! Better to be cold than sorry!

He watched as Mins looked around before revealing that she wanted to play in the snow "Well I already saw that when you threw some onto me, no idea where you got that much snow from but man that was alot!" he chuckled shaking himself a little more. "Fun? Ooh what kind of fun? Anything you want me to join? You know distract a fellow here a fellow there" he chuckled before she looked at him and asked him a question. He decided to bend the truth a little "Nah!! Thats not me anymore! Im Mr Ice Cream! And Mr Ice Cream is never sad! He is the happiest guy in the land! He and his wonderful sugar goodness make each other the happiest they have ever been!!!" he chuckled "Woohhh man! This ice cream is lovely! I almost want to keep it like this but then I need the wonderful taste on my buds!" he chuckled as he looked at her as he realised all the rambling he just did, well that was like his old self. He was always the rambler, Ella had loved that about him.

Nigel tried hard not to make a sound as he watched Lex's reaction to the explosion. It was extremely difficult not to burst out laughing when it seemed she thought she could blow things up with her mind.The look on her face was priceless. Though that power would be so AWESOME!

"It woke you up though. And those rocks flew pretty high and The Higher the better. Unless you want the explosion to go underground?" Nigel had no idea how to do that. But it sounded cool. He watched as the rocks just came down on the lake. That was a good two minutes in the air. Impressive.

"But lets try not to hurt the giant squid though."

Debris was never good. Nigel started to walk with her to get the soon to be exploded items ready for launch. This was going to be EPIC.

Well he was right about that. "It sure did! Thought I'd fall asleep on my feet waiting for you to show up and the noise to start." So very nice entrance dude. She couldn't say she was approached like that by many people before.

Lex look up at the airborne debris. Somehow, she didn't know it all would have flown so high and she turned her gaze to Nigel, giving him an approving grin.

WAIT WHAT???

"Underground explosions?? COOOL!! I don't suppose you know how to set something like that up??" But he was a Ravenclaw. They boasted about knowing most things. He had to know. "I doubt we'll hurt the squid. He hardly surfaces, I should know, I sit looking for him on some days." Sad but true and he never showed up once. Ruuuude really.

But back to the explosions, she helped him get the stack ready. "Alright, this looks good. We'll need a BIG spell though. Any suggestions?" She had a few.

"Thank You" Nigel took a bow jokingly. It was a heck of entrance. Once Nigel thought about it. Eh, now they have to explode some more stuff.

Maybe the squid would not mind the explosions. Since it might be too far underneath the water. Nigel started to ponder this a little. Until Underground Explosions got brought up. Nigel started to think then gave a reasonable answer. "Well you could cast the Blasting Curse at the ground and it would cause the ground to explode." Yep that was all Nigel knew about those explosion. "We should also use these to make the explosions different colors like fireworks." Nigel said pointing to something in his box.

Good the squid would not get hurt. Wouldn't want to get into trouble for hurting the schools giant squid. Even though i doubt we are allowed to set off explosions either. Oh, Well.

A Big Spell. The only one of the top of his head that he knew was the Blasting Curse. "Well the Blasting Curse would work and maybe Stupefy. You know any other spells that would work."

Lex thought that over. Blasting the ground? "Neat!" She kicked at a rock near by. "But messy, real messy. Can you imagine the Headmistress taking a stroll on the grounds and finding a gaping hole--a super cool gaping hole mind you, but a hole nonetheless. Heads would roll." And it wouldn't be hers either. Not if she could help it.

Ooooooooooo!! Things to add colour to their explosions!!!

"Brilliant!! You have the kind that turn explosions blue, right?? It's not a prettiful explosion without that." And now she was bouncing. Whatever they exploded would look so cool now. It'd have been better if they had actual fireworks but it'd be bright out soon so that'd just be a waste.

Oh, those were good ones. "I haven't learned the blasting spell as yet but I know stupefy. We could also try Expulso. Mr. Vinteren taught me that one, it does wonders, Bombarda could work too; taught myself that one--Questions!" She turned her curious gaze to him. "What do you think would happen if we both aimed our wands but uttered different spells? You think the explosion would be bigger???" They should SO try it!

*casually pretends it's just Tag and Bliss there and that no one's blowing things up*
 

Excited?

Just a lot little.

As soon as Tag wrapped an arm around her and squeezed, she twisted round and hugged him probably. No need to do things half way - besides, hugs were serious matters and Bliss liked them to be done properly. "Anytime, Taggy," she beamed and lent back, sitting across from him on the picnic blanket. "I ... um, thank you!" Cue blush. Her cheeks flamed; she was used to getting compliments from some people West, but not Tag, so it was a sweet surprise. Soon, her cheeks calmed down and her date got out the basket and - wow - a lot of food.

Heh. It felt weird calling him her date.

"And you can't have a nice picnic and have eaten loads?" She teased and beamed. In truth, the only thing she'd eaten was a few jelly beans for lunch; she really had been saving herself for this and Tag certainly didn't disappoint. Before her were all manners of different food. Lasagna, yum. Oooh, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches - that made her think of Blue. She wondered what her best friend was doing right about now. Cheese! That made her think of Alice, which made her both sad and angry and no- oh, look, jelly beans! "It all looks great, Taggy!" she exclaimed and then mumbled, "especially you and the jelly beans."

Ahem. Nothing to see or hear here.

"True. Especially since she loves plants and all that." Making holes in the castle grounds would make Firth and especially Truebridge furious at you. Might even be expulsion worthy. So she wanted a blue explosion. Nigel dug through the box until he found want he was looking for. Got another one for himself and handed the blue one to her. To add to their awesome stack. "I'll use this orange one and you can use the blue one and lets see what happens."

Nigel almost slapped himself on the forehead for forgetting about Expulso. It was another Curse like the Blasting One. This was becoming more fun by the second. "Oh right Expluso would work. I did not know about the Bombarda one." Interesting spells, they had here.

THAT WAS AN AWESOME IDEA. "Definitely. You can use Expulso and I will use Confringo and let see how high it will go and what colors we will see" THe colors were very important. You can never forget about Aesthetics.

Once they finished stacking the exploding materials. Both got into position to start casting. "Okay, Now the count of Three. ONE, TWO..."

"Oh yeah, there's that too..." In all her figuring it was hard to believe she'd forgotten to factor in the woman's love for plants and the like. This made the ground explosion even less likely to happen. She trailed off as she watched him fishing around in that box of his. OH! BLUE! "Awesome!!! They are complementary colours, aren't they?" That'd make it even better. They could even brag about knowing Art in case any Professor walked up.

He agreed on Expulso. The spell was pretty epic, you had to admit. "You haven't? It's rather simple once you have the intent and concentration. We should get to that one after this." So many prettiful spells that made things go BOOM. She was grinning from ear to ear.

"Heeey, wait...that blasting spell, Confringo. It's better at blowing up people." Just a fun fact she'd read once. Really she should have taken the time to learn it. Some other time.

Some other time specifically because they were getting started now! After making sure she was a good distance away (no accidents today, thanks) she got her wand at ready alongside Nigel. They were going on his count. Sorta. "THREE! Expulso!" She casted in sync with his casting and was captivated by the BOOOOOM!

The explosion was high and filled with colour, she couldn't look away until debris started blowing toward her. All over really. Her hands raised to block her from anything but once everything became normal again she had the WIDEST BEAM EEEEVER. "THAT WAS EPIC!!" All the colours and the right lighting!! She didn't even know where to begin. JBDLGFFUGFB!!!!

I didn't notice Lex and Nigel XD Oh lawddy :P
 

She heard his compliment to her! Good. And, it looked like she liked it! Yes? Because her face was slowly turning red, and then she tried to play it off coolly. Either he could embarrass her and poke her cheeks, or he would just not point it out at her at all. Ok. He leaned forward and just playfully poked her cheek, though he said nothing about them turning into a rosey color.

"Exactly! So I do hope you're hungry. Or else I may just wait forever until you actually get hungry. " That was kinda weird to say. Hoping someone was hungry. But it was reasonable to think that, especially for this time. He then fumbled for the juice and poured her a bit, and carefully set down her cup in front of her. As the saying usually went 'girls first' Tag picked a plate for her and held it in his hands. "Hello. My name is Tag. I will be your waiter for this evening. And, for starter's what is it that you wish to have my favorite and only Blissy?" Yes. Tag just pretended to be a waiter. He was trying to be humorous to an extent because, well, he wanted to mask his nervousness.

"The food looks good, really?" Tag said in a shocked tone. There was a reason why nothing here looked like he had to cook it all himself. It was mostly easy cooking that he couldn't mess up. Then she said he looked great, at least, that's how he heard and saw it. An the little blonde's eyebrows raised a bit as a small smile spread over his face, "Thanks! Oh yes, jelly beans. Couldn't forget those." He nearly checked five times to make sure he had packed those.

They were complimentary colors. That was why Nigel picked orange to see what would happen. It was an awesome experiment to do when blowing things up. Just hope no professor come down and see what they are doing. Though they could do saw this was an art experiment. Seemed possible.

True that Confringo was better for blowing up people "True. But let's try it on this. Worth a shot". It was worth a shot. Not like they were blowing up people or anything. The Colors were amazing and it looked like fireworks to Nigel.

"THAT WAS AN AWESOME & EPIC EXPLOSION!!!. We have to do that again and make it bigger and better."

But what colors would they use this time. Should they use more or only one. Nigel could not decide."So what colors do you want to use this time?" Nigel shows her the box full of different colored thing to explode.

Despite the fact that there was a still a ringing in her ear from the explosion just now they were already talking about getting into another one. She liked this guy, he had the right idea. There was no breaking from explosions or you would lose the momentum of it all. That was the worst in a situation like this.

"Of course it was epic! It went so HIGH!! Good thing we chose the lake. Kinda open and early enough to be idiot-free."

Alexa walked over to the box and took a look at the colours. Really she wanted to suggest blue again but she figured he wanted to see something different and these explosions weren't supposed to be the same. "I like that shade of purple. We can add it with ummm...you choose the next colour. I think that's how we're doing it anyway." It'd have been selfish to pick both colours.

"Should we dd more to this pile or...just more blast power to get them higher?"

Of Course you had to keep on exploding things or the rush and excitement of it will wear off. You don't want that. "True. We probably picked the best spot to do this."

That was one EPIC explosion. Now time to one up it. It was possible. But different colors this time and maybe they would use the same spell this time. Worth trying something different. Nigel watched as Lex picked a another color. Purple. Nice.

"Okay. Since you are picking Purple. I'll pick Yelllow. Complementary Colors and all."

Great Idea. Nigel nodded excited. This was going to be awesome. "And lets both try Expulso this time." Nigel continued to help her stack and asked her "How high do you think we should make this pile Lex?". While secretly adding something from his box to the explosion. Some Wildfired Whizz-Bangs.

This was going to be more EPIC.

Alexa was nodding her full agreement. When she thought about it there was really no where else they could gave gone. Most other places had tons of trees and she didn't feel like explaining to her Head of House, the Herbology Professor, why she went getting trees blown up. It'd obviously be an accident but the woman was hormonal, the outcome was unpredictable!

"More complimentary colours! We might as well had put on a show!" GRIN. Not that she thought inviting people and charging them would have been a good idea. Forget the moral aspect for a moment, people would tell. There's always that one kid who has that little voice in his head, telling him he has to let someone in authority know everything. Her cousin was like that but she liked him too much to try beating it out of him.

Oh? "The same spell?" There was an idea...it'd make the results a bit more interesting. Double the strength of Expulso? This she had to see! "We'll give that a try. For now..." She stepped back and eyed the pile. "I think this is high enough, let's give it a try."

Lex grabbed the box and pulled it at a distance then gestured for him to come as well. No need to get himself blown up in the middle of this. "On three again?" She asked, wand at ready.

My lovely bladgers ^_^
 

Candy. Lake. Hufflepuffs.

Seemed like a legit combination to Ella. The sixteen year old made her way happily down to the meetup spot, her backpack filled with sweets and blankets and whatever else they might need for some team bonding. Someone would surely be bringing ice cream too, yeah? Cause ICE CREAM and they could have gummy worm sundaes and that could only add to their good time, obviously. Maybe Oakey would even bring his bass? Team sing along FTW? Yes, please.

Speading out one of the blankets on the ground, the blonde flopped down and began happily munching on some gummy worms while she waited for the others to arrive. BEAM. This was going to be fun.

Oh No!

Oh No!

Oh No!

Fast, he was going to fast, he had lost his footing again for like the millionth time going down to the Lake. He didn't trip but the sudden surprise of it made him unbalanced and was now running and fumbling down the hill to the meeting spot. His Bass was flying extra fast directly behind him.
"Make way!" Oakey called down, to Ella.

His wand had decided to go haywire on him again and when he accio'd his bass. It was flying at him at a speed he was not going to risk catching it with. Oakey ducked behind Ella and held his wand out again. "Arresto Momentum" he yelped a few feet before it collided into them. The Bass slowed down, and Oakey moved out from behind the Captain and snatched his bass as it SLOWLY came to him.

... "Sorry."

So... the team was supposed to be meeting at the lake? okaaay, sure. With his Uke shoved into his backpack, and Toad sitting on his shoulder, he made his way out there, and wandered over to where he saw the captain. NOT Captain, just, the captain. "Hey Keeper Lady," he said dropping onto the blanket beside her. "Sooo Whats up?" They weren't going to have a lecture were they?

"Of Course We probably could do a show. But not in Hogwarts with all the plant lovers here." Not that Nigel hated plants and wildlife. They were just cooler if they exploded and such. Much cooler.

"For Now....?

Nigel began to wonder what she had planned for after this from the vague way she said for now... Nigel would just have to wait and see. "Yeah Count of Three sounds good." Nigel and Lex got far away enough to not get hit.

"Okay, ONE, TWO, AND......THREE!!!"


BOOM!!

AWESOMELY EPIC. Nigel watched with his jaw dropping as the fireworks went off with the already exploding stack of stuff. All the colors and awesome stuff. Nigel did not knew how to top this. Too Awesome. Nigel just turned to Lex with his jaw still dropped. Lost of words.

The badgers on a blanket
 

So, here Wade was walking through the grounds. He hadn't had his usual nap yet, so juuuust incase he wanted to be dressed and comfortable. Oh, and Wade brought pickles with him! "Hey, you guys. He began chewing on one of the many in the large jar that he held in his hands.

Joing Nigel & Alexa
 

Different time lines OBVIOUSLY
 

Minerva laughed at Harvey and his ice cream.. oh ice cream, why didn’t she bringing any. Oh well she would just take his in a second. “Glad you’re all better, but I don’t need dried. I didn’t get snow on me.” She stuck out her tongue and plopped down beside him taking his ice cream out of his hands before he had a chance to say anything. Smiling at him she took a bite of it.

She chuckled at him rambling… BOY COULD RAMBLE.. “I was thinking a snowman, but since I already made you a snow Harvey I guess I can check that off my list.” She laughed and took another bite of his ice cream. Yum this was good. Then she realized he probably would want it back and she wasn’t sure she wanted to give it back so she moved a little further away. Come try to take it off of her even if it was his first. “Look up silly the tree you were under, seriously I did the same thing to you second term. Think you would be more aware of that by now.” She laughed some more.




Minerva made her way down to the lake. She was meeting the team, so she made sure to bring a basket of some snacks. Her last attempt to cook for them flopped, so maybe this time could be better. A basket on her arm filled with sandwiches, cookies, and pumpkin juice. She had her bag charmed so that it could hold as many blankets from the dorm as she could possibly fit in there and of course in her other hand she had a huge tub of ice cream, because it was ice cream and you ALWAYS needed ice cream.

Seeing Ella, Oakey, and Kaiden she smiled and skipped the rest of the way waving excitedly. “Hey guys, I have food, blankets, and of course ICE CREAM.” because she would never not have ice cream. NO NEVER.. and then she froze. Was that Wade in a Tiger outfit.. OMG.. That is the coolest thing ever” She went over and touched it, was it as soft as it looked. OMG IT WAS!!! She began petting him, “Nice Kitty.. Wade is a nice Kitty.” She continued petting and then started humming and then bounced a bit before singing and petting "Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty, Little Ball of Fur.. Happy Kitty.. Sleepy Kitty.. Purr.. Purr..Purr" She laughed and then went back to her bag pulling out the blankets from her bag a few Reese Cups packages fell to the ground, “Oh I have Reese Cups as well, those go great with the ice cream.” Sooooo blankets meant blanket fort, right? Now how would they ever make a blanket fort without chairs and tables. She bounced on her heels trying to figure this out. Looking back at Ella, ” SO CAPTAIN!!! What are we doing!” She kept her distance from Ella though knowing she wasn’t too happy with Min, but how couldn’t she be happy when everything was so happy and fun lately. There was never anything to be sad about NEVER.

“SOOOOOO Who wants ICE CREAM?”

Things Ella was learning about her team.

1. Oakey Gunter was out to kill her. Like, here she was just sitting on her blanket and nomming gummy worms when her neighbor came out of nowhere trying to knock her out with his bass. Not cool, Oakey Worm. The blonde's green eyes nearly bulged out of her head as the HEAD BOY, mind you, hid behind her. Yup, she'd be taking the hit if that thing didn't slow down which THANK MERLIN it did. =______= "Oakey Worm, you need to be more careful. I need my limbs for quidditching, y'know." HELLO. But the bright side was that they were going to have MUSIC for their gathering so she supposed he wasn't in too much trouble. BEAMS for you, Oakey Gunter. You go, Oakey Gunter!

2. Kaiden was out and about and less mopey which was great to see. Happy Captain was happy, okay? "Hey Kaiden!" BEAM. "Nothing much. Just figured we could all hang out." Oh and was he hungry? She held out the bag of gummy worms towards him with a smile. Go on, y'know you wanna.

3. Wade was a stunning tiger. Like, his hair just really set off his tiger outfit and he had the teeth for tigering, y'know. They were white and could even maybe rival Hulk's though she doubted Wade would go around biting people on the pitch. Maybe he could tiger roar at them instead? Hmmm? "Pickles!" Cause she'd noticed those too, FYI. "Do you think those would taste weird after eating gummy worms?" Cause she sort of wanted one now.

4. Minnie was CRAY. It was a happy kind of cray which was totally fine unless it involved her fooling around on the pitch which had been an issue lately. Ella wasn't okay with that sort of thing. Fooling around on the pitch equaled people getting hurt and that was a NO NO. She got smiles though, Minnie did. The girl had ICE CREAM so yeah, Ella was pleased. She also had an interesting song about Wade being a cat and the blonde fought the urge to say he was a tiger which was certainly bigger and more ferocious than the average house cat. "Hey Min!" Bounce. "I want ice cream and we're just hanging out?"

Feel free to ignore. XD
 

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

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

Still. Epic.

A little rearranging~
 

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

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

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

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


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

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

All of You Bladgers :3
 

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

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

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

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

Saz *glomp*
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ohaiiii guys
 

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

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

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

You guys! ^_^
 

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

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

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

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



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

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

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

Short and simple... See's everyone here. Ella and Wade mostly and the Cold.
 

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

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

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

Bladgers and narrator
 

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

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

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

Bladgers! <3
 

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

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

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

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

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

You all *flails*
 

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

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

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

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

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

BEAM!

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

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

AND BRRRRRRR! WHY SO COLD?

*Squeezed in*
 

Aw, no pie for them.. Did Nash even get the memo? Hmm. "It's a party, man, come have a sweet.." Wade took another gummy worm. "or two.." and another. Or how many else you want." Grin from Wade. They were free to eat as much as possible tonight, even little Kace, who had perfect timing. "Thanks, little guy." Wade beamed as Kace joined them, "If you want, I can hook you up with one of these." You know, incase they had other tiger onesies.. though a little badger one would suit him and Tobias better. Matching ones. Heh, heh. "Oh hey, have some pickles everyone." Yes Wade, the time for hugging the pickles was over.

*BOP* "Ow." Wade mimicked like he was in pain, when it didn't really hurt, so he then laughed. Wade's right eyebrow then rose at the more petting he was getting from Minnie. She was reminding him of Luc now, only this time he wasn't getting a leash and demand to ride on like a horse.. okay nevermind, she already went there. "..another pet?" before Wade could think anymore on that, he saw some more others arriving. Weeelp, it was nice being coddled as Wade sneakily slipped off of Kaiden (sorry, buddy) and through Minnie's fingers. She was keeping him getting more food, after all and the special Head of LocNessieness and Alec. "Ness! Alec! Glad you can make it!" Wide grin, they were all happy together now. Now Alec needed to get by for the Hair ruffler greeting!

Oh, hello random breeze. That sure felt nice.. Ooh, maybe not so nice for the others. "Oh, this is nothing to me." Wade smiled at Oakey who was very kind to be concerned. He had been in waters close to frozen long enough to be accustomed to the sudden chill. "Have a Pickle, Oakey Pokey.. they go great with the gummies." A small wink to Ella there, this treat needed sharing.

Harvey smiled as she laughed, he hadnt had a laugh with her in a long time so this really felt good to be able to laugh with a friend again after so long! He nodded as she said that she was glad he was better, more than her he was glad. He rolled his eyes and shook his head at her saying that she didnt get any snow on her, he would have to change that soon though then they would see who needed to be dried or not! He then watched as she sat down next to him and before he even had a chance to react he saw his ice cream end up from his hand to hers and then she took a bite out of it "Hey!!! Thats mine!!!" he said to her in disbelief, he couldnt believe that she had taken his ice cream! HIS ICE CREAM!! HIS!!!!

He heard her chuckle as he smiled as she did so, he raised his eyebrows "A snow Harvey? Hmm thats something I have not heard before. So I must be unique then" he said chuckling as she said that she could check this one off her list "What else you got on this list of yours then? Is stealing other peoples lovely loving ice cream one of those things?" he asked her chuckling a little but kind of serious at the same time since it was HIS ice cream afterall! He watched her take another bite of his ice cream! His lovely ice cream! The ice creamt he loved so much! one that he had never left anywhere or even let out of his sight! was now being eaten by someone else no matter who it was! He looked up as she told him to look up and he saw the tree that she was talking about "Well that does explain how you got that much snow!" he said chuckling as he looke at it and then her as she talked about doing the same thing "Yeah I know but how was I supposed to know that you would do it again, thought you were too mature for it. But then again you DID steal MY ice cream!" he said chuckling as he moved a little bit closer even though he had a nearby stash that she didnt know about and there was no way that he was going to show her where that stash was.

Minerva than saw Nessie, “NESSIE.. I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE!!!” It was awesome that Nessie joined them. “We have ice cream.. Would you like Ice cream? Oh course you do.. everyone wants ice cream. “ Minerva bounced up and got some more bowls. Was the entire team there yet. She began counting, but got distracted and her baby blues snapped up. Did captain just say blanket forts.. BLANKET FORTS… OH MY GOODNESS BLANKET FORT TIME… She bounced and clapped, this was awesome. She pulled her wand out. “I know the sticking charm, this will be perfect!!” Of course she knew that charm, but most of them probably did. OH wait she was seeing if everyone was there, looking again nope cute little Tobias was not there yet. She would save him ice cream and a comfy blanket fort spot, because she liked awesome things like that.

Minerva crinckled her nose and said no to the pickles. Pickles and ice cream did not sound very good at all. OH no did she hurt Wade, she looked and pet his head, “I’m sorry kitty.” She then laughed as he faked being hurt. She hyperly nodded, “Yes a knew pet..’ laughing more, this was fun.. SO MUCH FUN. Hanging out with all her awesome teammates. Minerva then heard a voice and handed cute little Kace a bowl. “Oh it was fun, we should do it again. “ That’s if Ethan wanted to even talk to her anymore, if was getting awkward between them and she wasn’t sure why. Pushing as something all in her head she turned back just in time to see Kace zoooooming over to sit. “ZOOOOOMMMM KACE ZOOOM.” She kept laughing.


____________Harvey timeline_______________

Minerva chuckled at his words. Yes she just took his ice cream, what was he going to do about it? It was Harvey so most likely nothing. She had been his friend for six years and she always got her way when it came to him, this would be no different. She smiled teasingly holding up the bowl. Taking another bite of it. “I don’t know, snow angels, ice skating.” The list could go on and on of fun things to do in the snow. Was there really just one thing? “I don’t steal anything, what are you talking about.. this?” showing the bowl. “I brought this with me, didn’t you see?” She chuckled and scooted a little further away.

Harvey Watson just called her immature for putting snow on him. She lost it laughing this time. She was laughing so hard she dropped the bowl to the ground. “NOOOOO not the ice cream.” She tried shoveling it off the snow, but it was too late ice cream ruined. She stared at the ice cream with a sad look on her face. Bye bye ice cream, but then she smiled and picked it up throwing it at Harvey. “ICE CREAM FIGHT” If they couldn’t eat it, at least they could play with it, right? She took off running just in case he decided to throw some of the ice cream on the ground at her. There was no way he was catching her. She giggled as she ran.

She couldn't understand why the winter was being so stubborn. It was almost it's time to leave. Didn't it know? They were trying to blow things up and the cold was not appreciated. Just saying. Good thing she'd opted to dress warm.



She wasn't the only one who would find it hard to fall asleep now. Anyone standing out here with them would have the same complaint. Not that it was a complaint. This was some of the most fun she'd had all term! There wasn't a single class that allowed them to do this freely.

"Not sure we should make it much bigger. We're already sending signals people can see all the way back in England. Any bigger and we'll have the Headmistress out here--Hey maybe we could ask her to join. She'd know some really cool spells, wouldn't she??" And now she was almost hoping it would happen but would the woman really come out this early in all this cold?

"Do you have anymore of the colours?" She asked curiously. "We could add them with Mika's Fireworks, for extra colours and all." Just a suggestion.

Ooo and they were casting now!




"Nothing much." She answered with a shrug. "Just some old things we found around the castle and the grounds. Like I found an old wheel behind the barn, there was a desk that was missing a leg in an old classroom. A whole bunch of random stuff."

She listened, grinning wider and wider at all the things the Ravenclaw had with her. Just how much more awesome could this get???

"I wanna say we should add them all but we need to make them last. The morning's still young."

Still young and cold. Lex watched curiously as she summoned some mittens. Good thinking, though the explosions did bring their own momentary warmth these would do wonders. Thanks, now have your wand at ready." She slipped the mittens on then aimed her own wand. "We're all using Expluso, you know that spell, right? Good. On the count of three then?"

And she looked to Nigel, seeing if he was ready.

Yeah, she DID kick snow in his face. It was a SNOW FIGHT. That was part of it. Heh.

Since he seemed momentarily distracted by that, she tried to get to her feet so she could get some distance between them so she could gather more snow - but just as she was sitting up and about to stand, she was suddenly knocked back down even deeper in the snow. Merlin, he'd actually tackled her? Crazy bloke.

SNOWINHERFACE. Penelope flailed and grabbed at his arm, trying to push him away. But then an idea occurred to her, so she quickly used one hand to scoop up some snow and tried to stuff it down his sleeve. Maybe the cold would get his hand away from her face. Mwahaha.

So now they had new fireworks awesome. It seemes that had a couple more explosions to before they ran out of stuff. It always ends eventually. "Cool. Add some of your fireworks to our other stuff." Nigel pointed to the pile of stuff that they were exploding.

Now they were ready to start exploding. Just who was going to count down. It was an important duty after all. He-He duty.



Well apparently Mika gave them gloves. Nigel was comfortable as is. But did not want to refuse them. So he took them and put them in his pocket. He never did like performing spell work with stuff on his hands.

The gryffindor raised a good point. "True. We should not make it much bigger. Or else we will attract unwanted attention" Nigel thought about whether Truebridge would actually join in with them. Nope she would probably give us detention."Probably would just give us detention for no reason."

Nigel looked through his box for more colors. Cool, He had a couple left. "Yeah, Here pick one you want. Then we will add Mika's to it" Nigel handed the box over to her.

"Okay everyone ready?" Nigel looked at each of them to be sure. Never could be too careful. "ONE, TWO, THREE......."

Ascanius was STILL sputtering when he felt the snow in his mouth, but that did not mean that he wasn't going to UN-TACKLE her. Ahem, nope, that totally wasn't gonna happen for reasons of he was going to win. So deal with it Cantaloupe.

A broad smirked stretched out on his face when he saw that she was pretty mug defenceless because that meant he had won. Ah yeah, he could almost TASTE victory it was-

SNOW IN SLEEVE, SNOW IN SLEEVE!

He spazzed and almost rolled off of her, but instead ended up flopping right on her and laying all of his weight on her. Jeez, the snow was cold! Get out!

Badgerinos! Hello! ^____^
 

Its been a while since he went outside the castle and he's surprise that its still cold. Wait, cold? Try Freezing. The fifth year was glad that he opted to dress warm or he might caught pneumonia. As he was walking around the lake, Messer noticed a group of familiar people. Hufflepuff. His housemates. From where he stood, he could easily spotted Ella, Alec, Nessie, Minnie and Oakey and a few new faces he didn't recognize. Maybe he should go there and said Hello, no? Beside he still owe someone, no three people a congratulation for their new badges. So with that thought, Messer made his way towards his housemates.

Grins.

"Hey guys. Are you guys having a picnic in this weather?"

Bladgers! ^_^
 

Yeah, see, this was how she liked to work. Let someone think they had the upperhand and that they were gonna win...and then retaliate and keep fighting because that was when their guard was down, when they already thought they had won. But the fight was not even close to being over yet.

Case in point: he now had snow down his sleeve. Bwahah-

O_O

Penelope felt herself sink even deeper into the snow when he flopped over on her. Merlin's beard he wasn't supposed to try to crush her because of that! She didn't deserve to be smushed into snow.

"Gerroff!" she exclaimed, flailing and trying to push him off. The snow was so colddddd.

He just looked at her as she chuckled at the fact that she had taken his ice cream and was eating it, he didn’t know what to do now that she had his ice cream. He never did know what to with Mins and what she did for fun when it came to him, he then watched as she teased him with HIS ice cream bowl, he watched her eat some more as she talked about doing more snow related items "Yup all that and eating ice cream, cant forget that with the awesomeness that is the ice cream" he said as he lovingly eyed his ice cream that was now being eaten by her. He then looked at her as she tried to deny the fact that she had stolen the ice cream "Yes that, thats mine!" he said as she said that she brought it in with her "No I didn’t, I saw you steal it from me! " he said to her as she chuckled and moved away even further away from him.

He watched her as she laughed really hard at him calling her immature, though he didn’t know what was so funny about it when it was true that she was immature since she stole his ice cream! something that he loved ever so much that he hadn’t loved anything else as much as he loved the ice cream. He then watched as if in slow motion the ice cream bowl fell out of her hands as she screamed out about the ice cream. He just stared at it "My Ice Cream" he said as he looked at it frowning. He then suddenly felt cold stuff hit him and he heard her yell ice cream fight as she ran off before he had a chance to react. He heard her giggle as she ran off and he grabbed a handful of Ice cream snow and ran after her chuckling as he got ready to throw the ice cream at her.

*casually continues ignoring any exploding things*
 

Heh. As Tag, um, poked her cheeks, she raised her head and tucked bits of her fringe behind her ears so she could see. Apparently there was no point trying to hide her pink cheeks, Tag would poke them and see them, regardless. Oh, well. Never mind, she could always just do this: the little badger turned her head to the side and playfully snapped at Tag's finger.

Teach him to poke her cheeks. Hmph. Not that she minded.

"Forever?" That was a long time. "Fooooorever is a long ti-ime, but I, wouldn't mind spending it by your siiiiiiide," she sung quietly, before shutting up completely. He didn't hear that, RIGHT? She hadn't been singing it to him .. at least, she didn't think she had. Maybe she had. "Um, ur, yeah. I'm hungry. VERY hungry," she assured him and nodded lots to support her claim. For someone so tiny, she had a big stomach and a lot of food would be required to fill it. Oh, orange juice, she thoughts, picking the cup up and taking a sip. Though, she almost spat it back out in laughter when she realised that he was pretending to be a waited.

Admittedly, quite an interesting sight. Ahem, now she was imagining him wearing a suit and tie. Leave, weird thoughts, leave. Instead of mental images, Bliss focused on the boy actually in front of her. Not a much better plan, as she flushed red again when he said that she was his 'favourite and only Blissy'. Though, he probably didn't know any other Bliss', but STILL. Tag seemed very confident not, not at all nervous and that only made her more nervous. "Right. What can I have for starters?" That was a reasonable question, right? After all, he'd been the one to pack the basket, not her.

"Yeah. Yeah, of course," she nodded furiously, and beamed. "Why wouldn't it?" Was he hiding something? Like what? the reasonable part of her brain asked. Like, maybe he's poisoned the food? the completely ridiculous and stupid part suggested. WOW, she was talking to herself inside her head. She had problems. "Definitely not," she said, pausing for a second, "could I have jelly beans for my starter? Or .. something AND jelly beans?" Bliss honestly didn't mind, as long as it included jelly beans.

Simple, really.

Was Bliss really snapping at him? At his fingers? He thought that, if she wanted to playfully annoy him the ears or eyes, snapping near them of course, would be more of an annoyance. One he wouldn't mind, honestly. Tag tried to retaliate but instead of making sharp snapping sounds his fingers merely made a low rubbing, buzzing sound. "I'm rubbish at this." He confessed to Bliss, with a laugh as she continued to snap at him.

Now she was singing. He clearly heard her. His ears were well trained to sound. The little blonde had never heard of that song, but the words seemed pretty 'big'. Since he didn't know any background context to what type of song it was Tag began to randomly whip his head back and forth while pretending to be a cheering fan at a concert. Maybe she would actually continue singing if she heard that there was a fan? Even if there was only one. "Little person hungry. Little person eat. Blissy person full and happy!" Tag said in a slightly barbaric voice as he rubbed his tummy. And, of course, he wanted Bliss to be happy, whether it be hungry wise, or just in general.

"Today's starters, m'am, there's a wide ( not so wide ) choices for you to pick out to satisfy thy taste buds. The chef has recommended that his customers, err, date, begin with these delicious, creamy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If the pretty err, lovely girl is allergic to peanut butter he hath suggested for blueberries or cheese as a err a backup, yes." He held up all three containers of the food he had just suggested. If she couldn't tell, his persona was a way to cover up his nervousness. Because Tag Kildare was a eternal mess.

"Coming from a son who has a parent that is a chef, you'd expect I'd be at least decent, yeah? Well, nope. Almost burned down my kitchen one time trying to cook pasta." Tag said as he shook the head at the image forming in his head from the almost accident. Of course the infamous jelly beans. Tag chuckled a bit when she asked if she could have them for starters. "Of course you can have jelly beans for starters. " There was nothing wrong with that. If it made her happy then he was happy. Suddenly the boy then grabbed a fizzing whizbee stacked a jelly bean, then a blueberry on top, and then ended the chain of treats with another fizzing whizbee at the top. ""Or you can make your own dish. If you wanna be adventorous, of course."

Badgerinooooooos <3
 

Tobias giggled slightly as Captain Ella called him and Kace the bash brothers. He wasn't sure if it was a reference or something, but it sure was accurate. Tobias felt like with the right dose of sugar, he and Kace were totally a force to be reckoned with, ooh yeah!

And then Kace was talking to him. "Hey man! Yeah I know, I've just been trying to do homework and stuff. It's super difficult to stay focused on it when there's just so much more fun stuff to do," he explained, reaching over for one of the sandwiches that Minerva had pointed out. He was stuck in the habit of always eating something savoury before sweet.

But then...

o________________________O

Ice cream?

Really?

Tobias hadn't even been sitting still for that long and he was already feeling the cold. "How can you be eating ice cream? Or more to the point, how is it not just solid ice? It's freeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing."

Totally not one for exaggeration. Nope. Not at all.

Suddenly remembering what Wade had said, as if it only just registered with him, Tobias turned to the older boy. "Did you say you knew where we could get pyjamas like that?" he asked excitedly. That would be so cool. Well... probably more warm than cool.

OH HO HO.

Ahem, yeah...

"Oi!" Tobias exclaimed in mock-protest as Alec totally actually really did STEAL the sweets near him, and was about to say something hilarious when someone else arrived. And was Alec calling the guy Messy? Well that was rude.

"Hi," the boy smiled up at the guy who'd just shown up. Tobias wasn't familiar this kid, and so kind of went into shy mode. For now he would just eye up the STOLEN GOODS bag of sweets in Alec's hands and turn on his 'sad puppy dog' expression until someone supplied him with the necessary sugar.

BADGERS! can we playz too? :3
 

Lots of you here ^__^
 

Ella loved her team, okay? Each one of them was different and funny and friendly and the blonde felt completely at home hanging out with them. Made sense though, yeah? They were badger family and all that.

She GRINNED at Wade as he offered Oakey a pickle with gummies, fighting the urge to smirk because she didn’t want to make Oakey Worm mad. Not at the moment, anyway. She still hoped he was going to play the bass for them, actually.

The blonde turned her attention to little Kace when he asked about the match and she thought on that for a moment or two before answering. Hmm. ”I think that it’ll be a really tough match-up, actually. Neither team is gonna go down without a fight.” Yup, that was the truth. Ella knew perfectly well what kind of talent they were going up against and she knew better than to be over confident. Her expression softened a bit as she added, ”But you lot are brilliant and I believe in all of you.” Just in case anyone was doubting that. And Merlin’s beard! Kace was really good at doing flips and stuff. Ella applauded the little guy, enjoying the show.

“I’ll take a pickle.” She said after a while of watching Kace, reaching for the jar. Pickles and ice cream were a perfectly acceptable meal, yeah? YEAH. You were meant to try new things in life and this was just one of those times. Nom. Nom. Nom. Did she mention she was glad Minnie had brought them ice cream? BEAM! ”Okay, Min. You’re in charge of the fort, then.” And really, she seemed to have lots of energy for this sort of thing so Ella didn’t think she’d mind.

Boyfriend hugsss! Ella liked those and she snuggled closer to Alec for warmth, forgetting about the fact they had an audience. Badgers liked to hug so this wasn’t anything weird. ”I am cold but I don’t want you to be cold so you keep your coat, mmkay?” And she could just keep close to him to stay warm? Besides they had tons of blankets. That would help too.

The blonde giggled as Tobias was about to mock!scold Alec and then she saw a very familiar face approaching. O_____O ”UNCLE MESSY?!” Merlin’s beard, he was ALIVE! BEAMMMMMMM! And she casually tossed the little puppy Tobias some gummy worms while she continued to STARE at her friend. ”Where have you been?” Cause he disappeared again, y’know. Also… ”Want some ice cream, Mess?” It was really good, y’know.

And..."HI PROFESSOR AIREY!" Hey look, this was turning into quite the party! "Hi pebbles!" That was his name right, Pebbles? Ella thought so. "You guys want to come eat sweets and ice cream and pickles with us?!" Cause they didn't mind and there was more than enough to share!

Minerva took a few bites of her ice cream and jumped up. She jogged in place a bit to get warm. It was super cold, but it was because they turned to cold up to save the ice cream. Yep exactly why. Now she looked at the blanket. BLANKET FORT TIME!!!! Did Ella just say she was in charge of the fort.. WELL OF COURSE SHE WAS! Min bounced at this and twirled a bit. She was the queen of the blanket fort. Going over to the tree she lifted her wand and stuck the end to it stretching it out she pouted and stomped her foot playfully like a two year old. “guys it’s not long enough to go to the other tree.” How would they make blanket forts now. As she really tried to focus to figure this out a voice distracted her. “MESSER where have you been.” SERIOUSLY where.. had she even seen him this term. Nope she couldn’t remember. “food.. candy.. ICE CREAM” she said as she pointed to each place.

Speaking of ice cream NOMs NOMS

She couldn’t let it go to waste now could she. Speaking of going to waste she was glad she could clean Alec up, that wasn’t nice of her at all to spill her ice cream on him. “Oh it’s chocolate of course. Would I eat anything else?” Come on little brother you knew her better than that. She loooovvved her chocolate. Her eyes went back to Kitty and she started humming soft kitty again. What a fantastic day it was. Her team together eating ice cream and having fun. Plus she was going to get this blanket for to work. SHE WOULD!!!

Minerva spun around at Tobias words. “Kitty Tobias how can you NOT be eating ice cream. It’s amazing this time of year. Best part it won’t melt.” Nope not at all. She went back to humming soft kitty and looking at the blankets. I WILL MAKE YOU BLANKET FORT.. I WILL. Then she heard a voice and jumped. [B] “Professor Flamsteed.. Hello, come be a bager today.” [b] She laughed knowing he wasn’t, but today he would be. “Would you like some ice cream. I have sandwiches as well, Ella as candy, but Ice cream is right there.” Yes Ice cream was the main event.. right? Right? Then she looked back at her fort. “Wait there is a spell to make blankets bigger right, what is it.” Why couldn’t she think of it. She just thought of ice cream


=========HARVEY TIME LINE===========

Minerva ran and hid behind a tree there was no way he was going to find her here. NO WAY. She was a good hider. She was a badger anyway.. but wait that wasn’t good hider it was good finder. Shrugging at least he wasn’t a badger so he would never find her. She was looking around the tree when she tripped falling into the snow. Ouch what was that..HOLD THE PHONE.. was that ice cream. She looked around. Who’s ice cream was it. Oh well finders keepers and she was keeping it because she was about to get attacked.

Scooping some out with her hand she took a bite first, because she wasn’t going to waste all of it and then she jumped from her hiding place and threw it at Harvey. Laughing she took off after the stashed ice cream again. “Someone left this here. Maybe it was the ice cream fairies. They saw I needed it and came and brought it.” Yep that’s exactly what happened she knew it had to be it. Oh wait she shouldn’t be talking to the enemy getting up and scooping more into her hand she took off.

Harvey continued running until he kind of lost sight of her, he was breathless and looking for his best friend. He had to admit he was having fun again just like the old days, best of all due to the ice cream he had been able to fulfil his promise to this best friend. He walked forwards looking in every possible hiding place that he could see but she was nowhere to be seen, he wondered where she had disappeared to. He then heard a muffled thud or something as if someone fell to the ground so he ran in that approximate direction and still he could not find Mins, man she was good at hiding he had been searching for a bit and not found her yet.

Suddenly he saw Mins jump out from where she was hiding, he saw that she had been hiding behind HIS tree. She then threw something cold at him at first he thought it was snow but then his snow had flavour, many flavors..kind of like his Bertie Botts... NOWAY! She couldnt have! He hoped it was not true, though it was possible afterall it was HIS tree at the lake. He rounded the corner and he saw that she was talking about someone leaving it there for her, her ice cream fairies. He couldnt believe that she had found HIS stash of emergency ice cream! He then watched as she scooped up more of his Bertie Botts Every Flavour Ice Cream and ran off with it. Before he ran after her he carefully hid his ice cream again and made sure that no one else knew about this one of many secret stashes around the whole school. No one seemed to have seen the stash so he then took some snow and ran after Minnie, he had no idea how she found his secret stash. "Minnie you in trouble now! get back here! That was my ice cream!" he said to her laughing as he ran after her.

*Bundle up*
 

Wade was perfectly nomming on the Gummy-Pickle.. and occasionally dipping it into the Ice cream before eating it. What? It tasted good! He did this while watching and thumping up Kace's little gymnastic tricks. The kid was going to be a star, yes he was.

Did Alec just call him mate? Aw, that was nice. As soon as he got near, Wade locked his arm around him for the *HAIR RUFFLE* before freeing him. Heh, heh. "Yep, fresh pickles." He crunched on another pickle before moving the jar for everyone.

He was becoming a hog with them.. Especially with the arrival of another guy, who looked familar but Wade didn't quite know his name. "Yeah, best time for one, isn't it?" Smirking to the fifth-year badger. "Here, have a Pickle."

Aw, poor Tobi was getting all cold. "Grab a blanket, little guy and have a bowl." Smiling at him. Ice cream was great for every weather, and brought good feelings. Just look at Minnie, who was always happy because of it. Heh. Oh right, they need bigger blankets, not a problem. "Oh I know it Minnie, He withdrew his wand out to draw a nearly complete circle before saying, "Engorgio blanket." Concentrating until the blanket swelled to the size enough for everyone to bundle in. "C'mon in quick, so we can eat more ice cream."

Oh, and he wanted the matching pyjamas.. SWEET! "Yeah, the Quibbler runs some order ads for them to support the search of Crumpled-Horn Snorkacks.. they're expensive, but I can get discounts." A bitter-sweet perk, that only Minnie so far knew on the how. But enough of that, Professor Airey, the permanently suited-man was joining them! "Hello, Professor and pebbles! Care to join us for a bowl?" He said while waving his pawed hand from his tiger onesie outfit.

AR Project - Post 2.5
 

He had snow in his sleeve. It was cold! Like, it was actually touching his skin, which meant that it was extra cold. Why would she do that? His hand flailed around as he tried and failed to get all of the fresh snow out of his sleeve. The fifteen year old wanted to call a personal foul! That was cheating. Play by the rules or not at all, yeah? Cheater.

S'only okay when he cheated.

So yeah, he was flopped on top of his girlfriend but that was HER fault. She should have foreseen this coming. Ruddy snow was cold, jeez.

As she started to flail the snow went DEEPER into his sleeve and he let out a yelp. Ahem, a MANLY yelp, of course. She had to stop moving. It was only making it worse. And so he said kind of annoyed like, "You're making it worse!"

The Fireworks Crew
 

Ground's Keeper
 

Three! He said three!!

"Expul--"

Hm...?

Lex whipped around and spotted the Grounds Keeper making his way over to them. Blink. Blink. Okay, it's either it wasn't all that early anymore and they'd been blasting for hours or everyone woke up early on a Saturday. SERIOUSLY. And he ruined the explosion, she'd totally lost concentration. If he wanted to join, all he had to do was ask quietly.

Reluctantly she lowered her wand, still wishing she could have seen it go BOOM and offered him a GRIN.

"G'Morning Sir! Pleasure seeing you out this early! Do you normally take walks at this hour?" Probably. The man looked positively winded. Getting it the work out. You go Not Shiny Grounds Keeper!

"We were just practising a few spells that were learned to keep ourselves sharp. I've taught myself one, Mr. Vinteren taught me another and Nigel here knew one that he showed me. Would you like to see? We still have plenty of fireworks we could blow up--colouring too to make it extra pretty...oh but you'd have to step back, safety first." BEAMMM.

"You are here to join, right Sir? Because after this we're all going for ice-creeeeeeam."

*casually blends timelines*
 

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.

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...
 

Eyes to you, Flamsteed! EYES!
 

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
 

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 gently and watched expectantly. Go on, wrap yourself up.

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? ^_^
 

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
 

...

"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.

A bit early? Ella shrugged and gave the groundskeeper a small smile. She tended to not get a lot of sleep these days with everything she had to do so getting up early was a regular thing for her.

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.

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. And if anyone was cheating at this game fight thing it was totally him, and it wasn't okay. Hmph.

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.
