| | |  The Maize Maze
Back from gone, the Maize Maze had been one of the favorite things at Hogwarts back in the days. The Groundskeeper had looked up some of the school Grounds history and decided to bring it back again. The name says it all doesn't it? A maze in the middle of a corn field! Can you find your way out? | |

And this was said with no small amount of regret and objection. That place was good for naps and tombs.
Mmm. Right. "Yeah.... so about that Slytherin Prefect. THe one you teased me about."
Well that was going to be amusing because..."I don't even know where the library is." That was the one place in the castle that he didn't want to go into. You had to be quiet in there.
THAT got his attention.
Mikey stopped walking and frowned at her. He didn't want to talk about the Slytherin Prefect for some reason he had decided to dislike the guy and he had never actually met him. " What about him?"

Zahra cracked UUUUUUUUUP at that. THAT, ladies and gentlemen, was her best friend - who lived in a building with a library for two years and didn't EVEN KNOW WHERE IT WAS. Bahahahahaha. Zahra had SO MUCH appreciation for him at that moment. TOO MUCH. ALL THE APPRECIATION, in fact.
...hahahahaha
....
At least the laughing helped her say.... this, "I just thought he was handsome. And maybe I wanted him to talk to me. But I don't anymore, that was dumb." So there. That was it. | |

Don't let it ever be said that he couldn't make his best friend laugh. Even when he was being totally serious. Mikey couldn't help but laugh with her and it felt good especially after all that serious talk from before.
What she said though had the laughter dying on his lips and eyed her for a moment. "Its not dumb." He said, shoving his hands in his pocket and rocking back on his heels. "I think Alexa Cambridge is pretty." And that's as close as he was going to get to admitting that he kinda liked the older girl.
He stepped forward and wrapped his arm around her neck in a sort of headlock. "Just you know...don't forget to still be my friend." If she found herself another handsome Prefect that wanted she wanted to talk to. He took the BFF thing very seriously.

...call Zahra crazy, but Alexa and Theo were two TOTALLY different.... things. Like Lex was someone in their House, who was basically their age and stuff.
WELL. THIS INFORMATION WAS WEIRD and hit Zahra like that time she'd jumped out of a tree on Mikey and got the breath knocked out of her.
But it was cool. Okay.
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhh
She couldnt think of anything to say for once, so Zahra just walked and was in a head lock and quiet. She'd been RIGHT in the Common Room. | |

He had said the wrong thing. He knew it the moment the words left his mouth and she went very quiet. Zahra was never quiet.
Why did she have to bring up the Slytherin? He had forgotten about it and he hadn't wanted to bring up Alexa because he didn't really know what it was that he was feeling about the older girl. But since she had shared stuff he had felt obliged to do the same.
"Are you mad at me?"

"Are you mad at me?" "That's what it was at the study tables when you said it was nothing," Zahra admitted.
And it was other things....
LIKE WEIRD and junk. It was different to think people like Ola were pretty, or Cela, or her mum. But people their own age... THAT was weird and they both were doing it, but Mikey was doing it .... different.
"I'm not mad. She is pretty I guess." Zahra shrugged and dragged her feet along the path, suddenly interested in her shoes. | |

"I'm not mad. She is pretty I guess." Zahra shrugged and dragged her feet along the path, suddenly interested in her shoes. He was not having this conversation. He point blank refused to. It was weird. He felt weird for even thinking about discussing Alexa with Zahra.
"I thought we weren't supposed to do this grown up thing until the summer?" All the things his parents had talked to him about at Christmas was flooding his thoughts and he was trying so hard to push them away. He didn't want to think that it could be remotely possible that someone could come between them.
"Pretty or not Z, you know you'll always be my number one, right?"

"You're doing it already. Thinking girls are pretty. YOU stop until summer," Zahra pointed out. SHE was okay with that. And to punctuate that point, Zahra gave him a little punch in the belly.
"Yeah, but am I pretty, too?"
...was probably a question best left NOT said out loud, but there it was, no filter, out and about for Mikey to answer. | |

The punch in the gut didn't hurt but her words left him rather confused. "Hang on! YOU started this whole thing by telling me you thought the Slytherin Prefect was handsome." Somehow this whole things got turned around onto him.
He wasn't expecting her to ask that either and he blinked at her a couple of times. Truth be told, he had never thought of it before. Zahra was...well Zahra. His BFF. The girl he wrestled with, went camping with, climbed trees with, he sometimes forgot that she was a girl.
Mikey didn't realise he was doing it but he peered at her more closely so as to really SEE her. And he supposed that if she did her hair into some sort of style and dressed up a little more then she would be..."Yes you're pretty Z." Or had the potential to be. He wasn't stupid enough to say that out loud though.
"Where is this coming from? You have never cared about that stuff before?"

Anya was on a mission. To find pluto. And today seemed like a clear day. She set up her telescope and aimed it toward the sky. She glanced up at the sky before adjusting the telescope accordingly. She then glanced through her viewfinder. Then moved it slightly to the left. There we go. Consider yourself found you not!planet, you.
She smiled to herself and then packed up her telescope. Off to find something else.

"Where is this coming from? You have never cared about that stuff before?"
"I wanted you to know so you wouldn't embarrass me like that again!" OKAY?!?! So she was a little defensive. And regretful that she wasn't a Ravenclaw 'cause someone smarter than her wouldn't have this conversation IN A MAZE where she was STUCK with all the weird.
And Zahra HADN'T CARED about "that stuff" until.... like today. Until it suddenly seemed relevant to Mikey and she wanted to keep up with him. He WAS her best friend and all and they'd done most everything TOGETHER. Zahra had even stayed out of her first year so she could start with him to Hogwarts.
"You do." HE cared about it. So. That was.... all she had for an answer to all that. And kicking a rock. Which she did, repeatedly as they walked. Kick. Kick. Kick. | |

He wanted to point out that embarrassing each other was what they did. It was their thing. But it appeared that she didn't want to do that anymore. Well she didn't want him doing it to her, she still seemed to have no problems in embarrassing him. "Fine! I promise not to embarrass you again." Was she happy now?
Michael snagged a corn cob from its stalk and began shredding off the outer husk in frustration. She said that he was changing but so was she.
"I care more about friendship then I do what someone looks like Z." There were lots of pretty girls at Hogwarts and he didn't like all of them. He threw the corn in annoyance and turned to her.
"I feel like I've done something wrong but I have no idea what it is." So some help would be good.

Zahra blew out a LONG PUFFY SIGH, the sort that blew her hair off her forehead as she turned to LOOK UP AT HIM. "You can embarrass me, just not THAT way. You probably embarrassed Theo too and then he'll for sure hate me." OKAY? GOSH. Gosh.
Ew that was a weird thing to say, liking friendship more than looks what were they even TALKING about and why and how had this happened. She only wanted him to not embarrass her anymore. Right? Or something.
This made her tummy hurt.
"You didn't. I don't think. Unless you did? Did you?" | |

Whooooooooooo cared if Theo got embarrassed?? Michael had to bite back that remark because obviously Zahra cared and he did not want to fight with her over this, but he couldn't stop himself from being curious about her feelings for this guy.
"So you like this Theo guy then?" Even though he was waaaaaaay too old for her. "And I'm not teasing you. I...just want to know." Only he didn't think he did want to know.
Ugh...he was getting a headache from all this talk.
"No! Well I don't think I did." Unless THINKING about kissing Alexa Cambridge was considered wrong. He rubbed the back of his neck. "This is all so confusing. Can't we talk about something else?"

Zahra FACE-PALMED.
"......... I don't KNOW. No, not like LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE LOVE HIM wanna get married and have babies. But MAYBE it'd be cool if he didn't think I was the stupid kid that embarrassed him in Charms." Zahra was like 100% Theo didn't even know her name. Plus, he probably had a girlfriend, one of those older girls. That's not really what Zahra... meant... not... nooooo. No.
She shrugged at him, because what else was there to do other than banging her head on a cornstalk.
"Yeah,man, something else. Like how to not make your dad mad. I guess we'll go to classes and junk." Zahra peeked at him, chewed on the end of one of her curls nervously, and just kept moving through the maze. | |

Okay. Eww. That was way too much information. Marriage and babies, why would she even bring that up? Michael gave a little shudder just thinking about that stuff. He wasn't going to say anymore about Theo but he did think that Z like him in some way because why else would she care if he got embarrassed in Charms because of her?
Was this maze ever going to end?
"Unless I'm sitting at the top of the leader board." Which was never going to happen. "That's probably the only time that he won't be mad." He was half joking.
He could see her out of the corner of his eye looking at him and decided he was just going to pretend that OTHER conversation never took place. So he linked his arm through hers. "You going home for Easter?"

"Points are stuuuuuuupid. How many did your dad have anyway? Was HE at the top? Or your mum? From what I hear, your dad was into girls a LOT. I bet he didn't have two points." SO BASICALLY HOW DARE HE BE MAD AT MIKEY OVER STUPID POINTS. POINTS WERE SO STUPID. MIKEY WAS AWESOME.
KNOW WHO EARNED ALL THE POINTS? NERDS.
Zahra was cool with forever forgetting everything they'd just talked about. Cool. See? Mikey was coolest. Right behind her.
"Uhm.... Mum mentioned having it at Plymouth's. So I'll be here still, with you, in Hogsmeade." So that was cool. | |

He couldn't agree with her more. Points were stupid. They certainly weren't going to help in the real world. "Dad had about a thousand points. Aunt Cela had OVER a thousand and mum was in the top five." So yeah, he had expectations to live up to. "Well apparently dad can chase after girls and still do well at school." According to BOTH his parents there wasn't a lot that Nicholai Toussaint wasn't good at.
This conversation was just as depressing as the other one.
Although hearing that Zahra was going to be in Hogsmeade brightened his mood immediately. "Awesome." Meant he had somewhere to escape to when things got heavy. "I was going to stay at school but mum said that she had something important to tell me. She sounded pretty excited." He had no idea what it could be.
Maybe she had got him his own motorcycle.

Blah blah blah, nerdy point herders will be nerdy. Plymmy and Cope had had like a million points between them, too. "But not when they were SECOND YEARS. Only Cela was even HERE during second year, so they can't compare!" And Zahra stuck her tongue out at them ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL. "We're still learning how to get them or something. Mum says some people are late bloomers, but no less smart or beautiful blah blah blah you know how she talks. Maybe that's what we are."
Zahra side-eyed Mikey.
If he was staying at school, so was she.
....
Hm.

Mum says some people are late bloomers, but no less smart or beautiful blah blah blah you know how she talks. Maybe that's what we are."
Zahra side-eyed Mikey.
If he was staying at school, so was she.
....
Hm.

"I like your mum's way of thinking. I'm gonna say that to dad next time he starts on me." Although Mikey could already hear what his father's reply would be to that. 'No son of mine is a late bloomer.' Maybe it would be just easier if he did what they wanted.
Actually what Zahra said made sense. Why would his mum be excited about getting him something. "I thought maybe it was a car or a bike of my own to restore but now that I think about it, I don't think that's it." So what would make his parents so happy?
Mikey shrugged his shoulders, he had no idea. "Must be something REAL important because apparently the whole family are coming over for Easter." Hopefully the more people that were there, meant that his folks would leave him alone.

She stayed where she was though, and pouted at everything..and nothing around her. "BOYFIE. COME FIND ME NOW BECAUSE...JUST BECAUSE." Because they wouldn't get to go camping over the summer, and she wouldn't be able to give him reward kisses or lollipops and there was always a possibility of DYING.
"THERE'S A BREAK IN THE CLOUDS ABOVE ME." That was all she had for him. And the clouds were moving, so he needed to get a wriggle on. Because she was actually going to sit down now. Because if she even attempted to go back, then...they'd lose one another. And it would be sad, and he'd have to explain to Cat and Braison how he was a bad boyfriend. Which he totally wasn't. He was pretty darn awesome at the boyfriend thing.
"I'LL SING TO YOU. COME TO MY SINGING." She was an awful singer. Not as awful as some, but she definitely wasn't going to be winning anything for it. She already knew what she was going to sing to him. THE UGLY BUG BALL. WOOOOOOOO.
Ahem. She cleared her throat and prepared herself for everything in the universe. "ONCE A LONELY CATERPILLAR SAT AND CRIEEED, TO A SYMPATHETIC BEETLE BY HIS SIDE" She had this down. And even better, she wiggled in her seat on the floor. Just like a caterpillar would. Wiggle. "I'VE GOT NOBODY TO HUG. I'M SUCH AN UG-UH-LY BUG." Was he here yet? He needed to move. And quick. Break in the clouds wasn't going to stay where he wanted it to because clouds did this thing where they didn't stay still. He didn't want to spend the rest of the day looking for Elodie in the maze, she he got a move on. She had also begun singing. That helped him with the whole finding thing. He could sorta pinpoint where she was/where the sound was coming from but he needed to figure out how to get there from where he was which was the challenging part.
Not wasting anymore time, Coulson stood and briefly thought over the possible turns he'd have to take to get to her. But not was time to put those ideas in action. He moved left then right and then right again before making another left. He wasn't dizzy and that surprised him. He was almost sure that this was the route he had to take. But he could definitely be wrong. That was entirely possible.
He kept walking, taking another few turns as he was faced with them. The singing was growing louder, which was a good thing. So he made another turn and.......
Oh.
Not her yet.
Disappointed, he shoved his hands back into his pockets and made a left, head down and disappointed. She sounded so close.

Disappointed, he shoved his hands back into his pockets and made a left, head down and disappointed. She sounded so close. Elodie siiiiiiiiiiiiighed when she finished her first part of the song and still had no boyfriend with her. She was getting incredibly bored now. It'd be nice to have a hand to hold. Her hand was lonely. Lonely hand. She bet her hand had even moulded itself to fit all snug with his and it held it an awful lot. Ooops.
Okay, NEXT PART.
She looked up to check on her cloud break, and thankfully, it hadn't ran away much and was still very much so above her. If she leant a little bit forward. But she was in a sort of clearing and there was a crossways a little ahead of her, so he had to come to there at some point. Now? Coul? Hello?
"THEN A SPIDER AND A DRAGONFLY REPLIEEEED, IF YOU'RE SERIOUS AND WANT TO WIN A BRIIIIIIIIIDE," Still no Coulson. Maybe it was a good thing, because 'bride'? Ohhhhhhhhh nope. Not now. Not nearly now. Not for a long time. Maybe not even together. Would that happened? So many thoughts for one word. No thank you. Song time. "COME ALONG WITH UUUUUS, TO THE GLORIOUS ANNUAL UGLY BUG BALL." Elodie was ace with lyrics. Ace.
And still lonely?
"COME ON LET'S CRAWWWWWWWWWWL, GOTTA CRAWL, GOTTA CRAWL," Elodie even wiggled in her spot for that, deeming actually crawling silly because she'd lose her spot. "TO THE UGLY BUG BALLL, TO THE BALL TO THE BALLLLLLLLLLLLL" Best. Song. Ever.

"And mum loves your parents like her OWN kids. She says it all the time. But she definitely likes me more than she likes YOU," Zahra punched Mikey playfully. Teehee. "Just say WELL HAYLAN SAID and I'll back the story up and your dad will just have to suck it up."
Good plan. Foolproof. Being a brilliant Gryffindor was just soooo easy.
Oh yeah. Yeah. "Let's just ask Plymouth to give you his. I swear he hasn't ridden it in YEARS." SO why not? "Then it won't matter what your parents are all hyped up about, 'cause you'll have a MOTORCYCLE." Pause. "We'll have a motorcycle." | |

Haylan Kettleburn was probably the only person who could actually make his dad look sheepish. And since it felt as though things were going back to normal between them, two seconds after Zahra punched him, Mikey tackled her to the ground.
"We'll have a motorcycle huh?" He gave her a noogie. "You don't even know how to ride a motorcycle." But of course he would share with her. They pretty much shared everything now as it was.
"Since the whole family is going to be there maybe we could take the brats fishing or something." He said that with utmost affection. He did love his cousins even if they could be a little annoying at times.

Zahra USUALLY could predict when Mikey was going to strike, but this one definitely caught her by surprise. She GASPED and made a girly noise and smacked him in the head.
But she was over it quickly, doing her best to wrestle back and PIN HIM DOWN AND MAKE HIM EAT DIRT. Probably not really eat dirt. Just threaten it. Unless he deserved it later.
"ANYONE can RIDE one, DUMMY. You just SIT." Bahaha, but he was right. She probably couldn't drive one. She didn't have the attention span.
Those brat COUSINS of Mikey's.... were Zahra's nieces and nephews. Basically meaning she was their boss and they had to do what she said and she was partly in ownership of them. It came in handy. She'd even tried to use it on Mikey a few times, but in truth... the two of THEM weren't related at all.
"Yeah at the Lake!" hahaha Wait for it... "Make them Squid food to Barty Squid." bahahaha | |
