Boris the Bewildered
 

Where was she? Eden got lost a lot. A lot lot. She always seemed to do it in the strangest places, too. Her eyes swept up and down the corridor. She stopped at the statue of this weird guy--clearly, he didn't know how to wear gloves?--and she siiiighed and leaned against the wall next to him.

"Well--can YOU get me unlost?" she looked up at the statue, raising an eyebrow. Her backpack was heavy, too, because she was trying to get to her common room after a day full of classes. She had HOMEWORK to do here, okay? Astronomy and Potions and stuff...probably more. Where was Clara when she really NEEDED her? The girl was good at getting them very UNlost.

Unfortunately, though, this corridor looked very deserted, and she didn't know whether she would even see anyone who COULD help her. Ugh. Before she tried to move on, she just stared around...this floor was creepy. It had an off smell, too. Very mildewy. She had to crinkle her nose a bit.

WHERE WAS SHE?

Merlin, she really disliked coming onto this part of the Fifth floor. It was always a very unpleasant smell that she really disliked. BUT, if it involved asking Professor Botros about a particular Rune she had discovered over the summer, it was certainly worth the revolting smell...or was it?

About to make her way towards the Ancient Runes classroom, she suddenly had heard the sound of a voice coming from...behind her? She slowed her walk a little bit until she had come to a complete stop entirely. Where was this voice coming from? Josie slowly turned around before she started walking back to the corner of the corridor.

Once reaching the corner, she stopped & slowly peaked her head around the corner to see the statue of Boris the Bewildered & it was at that moment where she began to wonder if the Bewildered Boris was the one who'd just spoken. Honestly at this point, it wouldn't have surprised her if Mr. Boris was in fact speaking, there were certainly many more strange things in this castle than a statue talking. But wait, there was an older girl leaning against the statue. Oh well, then that made more sense than to explain the talking. From what it sounded like, it didn't seem like the girl was talking to Josie, mostly because she probably didn't even realize she wasn't alone anymore. She couldn't really put her finger on it, but it seemed like the girl was upset..at least she thought so..

Whereeeee was she?

She had no clue. And still no one in sight. She glanced down at her watch..what had she been doing anyways? She forgot. Great. Now she was lost AND she had forgotten why she was here.

She heard footsteps--and she raised an eyebrow at the coming person--oh. Just a younger student. She sighed. The girl probably didn't know where she was either--though, this was Eden's first year, the girl might have been here for a few years now. She looked around...a third year? Hmm. She cleared her throat and stepped forward, eyeing the girl up and down.

"HEY THERE!" she cried out, suddenly, trying not to be creepy, but her voice echoed SO much that she probably scared the girl half to death... -____-

Oh, she'd seen her..

Josie jumped where she stood & had accidentally dropped all of her books for Ancient Runes. DRATS! She quickly knelt down as she scrambled to gather all of her books as fast as her tiny shaky hands would allow her. Which didn't seem to be going fast enough, at least she felt like it wasn't. She didn't lift her head to look at the girl by the statue at all, fearful that she might have possibly had disturbed the older girl. Perhaps she wanted to be alone?

She spoke in her usual shaky tone, "I-I'm-I'm sorry...I-I didn't mean to-to intrude..."

Honestly, how many books did she have?

Well danggit.

Eden had made the girl drop ALL of her books--she quickly leapt over to her and began to help picking them up...Ancient Runes, eh? Eden would NOT be taking that class--nope. TOo hard for her brain. Too hard. She smiled all friendly at her because honestly the girl looked SCARED. "Hi--I--why are you sorry?" The girl hadn't done anything! "You weren't intruding, promise--" She said as she stood up straight.

"I'm just rather lost and stuff. This is my first year here and--" well, it sucked, to be honest, that she STILL got all lost like this. "I know--I am dumb, I'm older, I shouldn't get lost--" and she blushed as she handed the books over to the younger girl. "I'm Eden, by the way--I think we're in the same house--" she said as she squinted at the girl's tie. Blue and Bronze. Yep. Ravenclaw.

Eden had started to really enjoy her house, yepppp. Sure, she thought she belonged in GRYFFINDOR still, but Ravenclaw was really cool and had cool people.

Kace decided to meet with Puck here to do the potions homework. Apparently they needed to drink the potion and write down the effects it has on them. As he got to the fifth floor corridor, he noticed it was quite empty. That was a good thing because it could get a little heated in here. Especially Puck she might go nuts. He waited for his friend to arrive, he was just chilling doing his thing.

Kace smirked and knew that voice anywhere. "Hey PUCK!" he said not coming up with any nicknames for her yet. Yet is the key word. "I do have my potion.." he said going into his robes and pulling out his vial. "Right here.." he smirked. "I am toy ready..." he said giving a quizzical ready not knowing exactly what it meant. "Yeah on three.." he nodded. He counted down for her.

"One....two....thre....." he counted and then uncorked his vial and sipped it till there was no more.

Kace shrugged innocently and asked, "Can you blame me? Your name is kind of unique.." he said giving her a compliment in there. He shrugged and didn't mind if she was acting a bit crazy. "Down the hatch.." he nodded and sipped it and it was SO awful. He coughed out the after taste. "Bloody Merlin that was an awful taste.." he said still coughing it out. Then he started feeling really weird. He was starting to feel like a strong feeling of hatred. He was starting to feel annoyed at everything. He even looked at Puck and realized how annoying she could be. He stepped away from her and said, "Man this painting is bloody merlin creepy. Like what is it? It is annoying. Like I can bloody merlin FIGURE IT OUT!!" he said getting more frustrated. "Maybe it is because of YOU!" he pointed out to you. "Maybe it is because of your presence.." he glared.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, she could feel her heart racing faster & faster as the girl was nearing her. Oh DRATS, she was definitely going to be scolded or something, she really needed to watch out better when she was walking or lurking around corners. Or better yet, maybe she'd be better off not lurking around corners, so that she wouldn't drop her books like this. She froze instantly once she took notice of how close the girl sounded & when she slowly lifted her head, she saw the girl was not smiling at her, but was actually informing the third year that she hadn't intruded. Phew, that was honestly a relief.

Finally picking up her last book, she noticed the older girl was now standing up straight & was not explaining to what she was actually doing, which was apparently her being lost actually. Seeing as to how this was the older girl's first year attending Hogwarts, it clearly meant that she was a transfer & clearly hadn't gotten used to all of the castle's halls & corridors. That was where Josie could definitely relate, seeing as to how she definitely knew there were a lot of places the young Ravenclaw hadn't even discovered yet & getting lost still did happen every now & then. "I-I don't...I-I don't think you're...dumb...I-It's a big c-castle.." She slowly took her book from the girl's hand as she had introduced herself & she found out that not only was her name Eden, but they were apparently in the same house.

The third year gave a quick nod & offered a tiny smile before she spoke in her soft tone, "M-My name's Josie-uh-I mean..J-Josette.."

Kace was getting even more angry at Puck. He did NOT have gorilla arms. "Well maybe if you stop talking with that big fat mouth of yours maybe the portrait wouldn't have been scared of you." he chuckled evily and thought it was funny. Then she really had done it. She cast plushie penguins his favorite animal and he watched them burned and get insulted. Noww he was getting really angry. He glared at her. He smirked and had something evil planned.

"Well you know vintage record are sooo stupid! I mean who listen to this anymore!?" he conjured one up in his hand. He even had her favorite band on it to make it even better. "I mean really who are you trying to impress your grandma?" he spit out. "THESE THINGS ARE SOO OUT DATED!" he yelled and got his wand out and smirked devilishly. "Incendio!" he conjured laughed at the record burning.

There you go, flaming vintage records of her favorite bands in front of her eyes. Take that godzilla.

Kace was still glaring at her for burning the penguin plushies. They never had a chance to get cuddled with or anything. Puck just burned his favorite animal. "I'll get you back.." he hissed. He chuckled at her insult. "IS THAT THE BEST YOU GOT? A BLOATED COW?" he challenged her with a smug look on his face. "Ohhh I beg to differ!" he called out.

"They will go extinct if I destroy record players.." he grinned devilishly. "BRING IT ON PUCK THE DUCK! YEAH THAT'S RIGHT YOU HAVE A DUCK FACE!" he called out. Then he felt the potion subside and now he felt terrible. He saw her whimpering and his eyes went wide.

"Oh my god...what did we just do..?" he asked looking around. He noticed the burnt records and the penguins. He went over to Puck and gave her a hug and said, "I am soo sorry.." he told her. He truly meant it obviously.

Eden smiled kindly at her. She seemed a bit scared. Eden did NOT bite--like ever, really. "I may be older but honestly--I'm like a puppy, okay?" she said and she tried her best to look her MOOOOST innocent ever. And for the most part...well, she was pretty nice and innocent...

Hmph.

"It is. Ugh. I'm a transfer from Durmstrang--and--I just--it was so much smaller, you know?" she said, trying to make the girl feel comfortable with her casual tone and all. She glanced at the statue..."And who's this bloke?" she nodded at Boris. She had no idea who he was...his name or anything. And why there was this RANDOM statue of him at this school and stuff.

Awww. SHE WAS TOO CUTE. Eden wanted to just SQUISH her to DEAAAATH--okay, not death, but she DID want to squish her. She smiled again. "Josette? That's pretty. Do you prefer Josie, though?" she asked, considering she had introduced herself as that first. "Both are cute." Heh. "Whatcha' doin' around here, then?" Surely she hadn't stumbled upon Eden just to help her?

Kace felt his crash come down and he did not like this potion at all. It made him say hateful things to one of his best friends he made at Hogwarts. She didn't have a right to hear those things. He forgave her for the penguins. He hugged her tighter and told her it was fine. "Of course I didn't mean it at all..it was just the potion talking..." he grinned and chuckled. "It just messed with our heads. "I promise not to ever call you Duck again. I pinky promise.." he said holding out his pinky. "I agree he is evil but I guess he is teaching something.." he frowned. "Come on let's go.." he said taking her hand and leading her out of this place. "Let's go to a place with good food and good vibes.." he smiled and with that he led to her the great hall.

sorry XD
 

After owling his parents a few days ago for some fishing line, they , of course were wondering why he wanted to have that. And of course, the Gryffindor had lied and had written that they had to go fishing for muggle studies but he forgot to buy the line. Lucky for him, they fell for it and had sent it over with the owl post.

He held the line in his hand and in his pocket, hidden from view for anyone as he walked through the castle. He had to have a good spot to play out his prank of course. Finding a statue, Kevin grinned to himself as he walked around it. Not the best hiding place but whatever. He checked the corridor and saw that no one was there. Good. He didn't want anyone seeing him setting up his trap. He used a few books to trap the fishing line in between them and shoved them under the small bench. He then walked to the statue and walked around it before securing it tight with a wave of his wand.

The fishing line was now stretched out in the air on ankle height not to mention that it was nearly invisible to see unless the sun shined on it. He let out a laugh and instead of hiding behind the statue like he intended to do, he leaned against it while holding a book and casually pretended to read.

This gonna be goooood

The click-clack sound was the first thing he heard and he knew that someone was walking through the corridor. He looked up from his book and realised that it was not a student but the History Professor. Well, this was going to be interesting. He tried to hide his grin as he looked back down at his book, pretending to read and that he wasn't paying attention. Until she said his name and he couldn't avoid pretending anymore. "'Sup" he said. What book he was reading? eeeeeh...he had no idea. The book was even upside down now that he really looked at it. "Just...reading some for defence class" he said eventhough the books cover said that it was a transfiguration book but whatever. He then looked at her book and tried not to roll his eyes. "You read for fun?" he made a face like he smelled something disgusting.

And then she stepped closer to the fishing line. His eyes twinkled brightly, he was biting his lower lip to not grin and then....she sat down on the bench.
..............YA! this was no fun. He closed his book and looked at her. He needed to get her to walk further through the corridor. But how? woah wait a second! He narrowed his eyes suspiciously at her and raised an eyebrow. "You're friendly ...to me.." he stated. WEIRD.

Now that Kevin knew that she didn't just walk further after greeting and therefore didn't trip on the fishing wire, Kevin closed his transfiguration book and sighed. He had to use a different technique. But what?

"Studies" he said in a mocking voice and tsked afterwards. "I really don't care about that, i'm only interested in potions studies" No matter how much he lied, when he spoke the truth it was blunt.

He looked around for anything he could think of but nothing came in mind. Maybe he just had to patiently wait and hoping she would eventually walk further. He was not going away though, the waiting would be worth it when it happened, he told himself.

Trying to keep his face as neutral as possible, which was a bit difficult seeing as he kept having to bite his lip in order not to grin or laugh. So she was reading for work? how....boring was that? "Can't you just close your eyes, flip the pages and the topic that the page stops on will be the topic to discuss" or rather reenact. "That's what i would do" he said as he shrugged his shoulders.

She was smiling, brightly. He hated when people smiled brightly at someone like him. Like, he was the least person to be smiling at so either she was faking or she was just like that. But still, it gave him the shivers. Why she wouldn't be friendly to him. Kevin's mouth actually dropped but then closed it after a few seconds and brushed his black hair out of his eyes. "So you're cool with that i attacked you last term?" bwahaha she had no idea that she was a target again did she? Or maybe she did and thats why she sat down on the bench? AAARGH! this was confusing! "I really didn't mean it though, i just got a bit carried away with the entrance thing" he lied. But whatever happened, he WANTED to trip someone in this school at least once. And the fact that it could possible be a Professor made everything even more cooler to him. And thats when he got an idea. It was lame but maybe she would get up and walk with him.

He really was a Gryffindor huh? staying at the crime scene the whole time. hehe. "I have a request, can you tell that to the Headmistress? cause i'm sure she still dislikes me or no! we can go together, i know a short cut which is this way" he pointed with his thumb to the left of the corridor, the side of the line he was already standing in.

Hmm maybe his motto should be never trust me ?
