Default The Courtyard

The Courtyard is a cloister on the base of the Hogwarts Castle. This cloister seems to be one of the older parts of the castle and the ceiling and walls are dilapidated. Serving as the last area before approaching Hogwart's entrance doors, it also leads to the Wooden Bridge.

In the centre of the courtyard is an antique fountain surrounded by statues of eagles. Perfect for relaxing and making wishes at. Beware, once you toss in a coin, you can never get it back as the water surface sinks deeper and deeper preventing your hand from ever reaching inside to retrieve it. A pear tree also grows in this courtyard, free of worms making it safe to snack from.

Wowza!

Levi was still terrified but it was baffling that anyone, human or not, would think knowledge could not be find any knowledge in a library. Knowledge was LITERALLY the reason why libraries existed! Which he would have (shakily) pointed out had it not become obvious that Anubis had, thankfully, checked out.

"Declan!"

He was only slightly aware of Althea's screaming when he stumbled after Declan. His hands were cold, and sweaty and his fingers shook as he tried to get his wand out of its holster. Two beats later, Levi had water pouring out for Declan, and remembered that there was more than one sibling who needed to be taken care of.

This was why Levi had always been content with being the middle child.

It had been quite some time since Levi had thought of Althea as his 'baby sister' but it was difficult not to, given her current state. He'd never call himself the protective older brother type, and yet. Some feelings just could not be helped. Though from what he could see, she seemed to be fine, so the screaming had to be a late reaction to Declan's current trip to the underworld. Or...was that a bug? Levi squinted. "Thea, you are fine! It's just an insect!" That Declan had spat out but pointing that out probably wouldn't help. She was going to wake half of the castle at this rate. He was not a fan of that idea. "Daisy, can you please--you know????" Help?

Clearly, they were luckier than they had any right to be. The wind picked up even more and it looked like the ancient God decided to float away. Just like that. He didn't curse them for interrupting his rest to ask about a library, he didn't kill anyone and Declan was back. He looked shaken, sure, but at least he was back.

And he had brought a friend?

The vision of a bug making its exit through Declan's mouth froze her for a while and that was why she probably didn't really register what was happening straight away. Her eyes had followed the scarab to Althea's shoulders but only once Levi said her name did the Slytherin focus again. ... Merlin, they were being loud! "Right, right. Sorry." She mumbled at the Gryffindor, throwing his brother a quick look. He didn't look too bad but who even knew where he had been?

"Althea, you are fine." She told the girl once she turned back to look at her once more. Somehow it didn't make sense that this girl who had seemed tougher than old boots would be scared of bugs. It didn't seem real, but very little did in the present moment. Daisy lifted one arm towards the girl's shoulders and hesitated for a second, looking at the scarab. Gah. Bugs were fine, but she hated touching them. Still, it was preferable to touch the bug and not get punched by a Hufflepuff, which was the likely thing to happen otherwise. "It's a tiny bug. Harmless, really." She carefully grabbed the bug with a grimace and was quick to crouch down and release it on the floor. Harmless, yes. Gross-looking? Definitely. Bleh. The scarab moved around for a bit and Daisy prayed to all the Gods that hadn't killed them tonight that the bug decided to fly away and not onto Althea's shoulders once more.

She would definitely get punched, then.

Still crouching down, she looked at where the Kenning boys were. "Is he alright?" She asked Levi, more just to say something and lose focus of something she had only just realised. She was painfully, dangerously out of her depth.

His head was pounding. He felt ground underneath his feet but could barely register where he was. He felt surreal. The smell of vomit was in his nostrils as he gazed down at his upturned hands. Declan wasn't sure if he was here or not but his sister's screaming sounded real enough.

Levi was near. He could feel him and sort of see him but he was still too out of it to concentrate properly. The image of a scarab flashed through his mind.

"Don't!" he said loudly and stretched out an arm towards the yelling. "Kill. The scarab."

Declan took the water Levi offered and drank slowly, not trying to make himself puke again.

"I'm fine," Declan drawled standing up straight and wiping at a corner of his mouth with the back of one hand. "This isn't my first time." Except, he wasn't really fine but his Mum didn't raise a punk.

Not that anyone had bothered to ask but (!!!) she was having a crisis. Oh, and, yes, Declan too, but more importantly she had suffered a great ordeal. Levi and Daisy were being reassuring and she could only nod very slowly before Daisy removed the scarab from her shoulder. "Thank you," she said quietly. A shiver passed over her, and after inhaling slowly a few times, she finally felt calm.

She was stunned, however, to hear Declan shout. Don't kill the scarab?? The same insect that almost took her (and Declan's, let's be real) life? Althea stared, bug-eyed, at her eldest brother and shook her head. This did not make sense. "WHY?" Because they should be stomping it and making sure it never came back. But, she let go of her questions because she was just glad Declan made it out alive. Althea ran over to him and enveloped him in a tight embrace.

"Next time you decide to call upon ancient gods, PLEASE call someone less frightening, okay?" Because, yes, they'd done this but not like this. This was much too much; if their mother knew...she'd wring their necks! "About the scarab...," she started and took step away from Declan to see if the insect was nearby. To her dismay: it was still alive and...was it looking at her? She willed it to go away, far, far, far away.

Levi returned his wand to its holster when it became clear Declan was done, and when his brother straightened he felt himself a release air he'd not aware he'd been holding. Declan was right when he informed Daisy this wasn't their first time having a go at the spiritual side of things--and this is what he was calling it for now, his brain rejected anything more complex--and throwing up wasn't really new either, and yet. It was probably not pertinent to inform Daisy that things were usually not this intense.

He had a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach and the exposed skin of his neck, and he did not want to think about it, but it was difficult not to and so he did: they were being watched. Or at least, Levi felt like they were being watched. He turned around, several times, squinting and frowning, but saw nothing but their own shadows and a sky full of stars. As he scratched the back of his head in confusion, Althea came over to hug Declan and Levi patted both of their backs. "Yeah, man. Not that I'm complaining because it was rather cool." Or it would be, later on, when he thought about it. "But I really thought we would be just be throwing some bones. Maybe summoning a dead relative's spirit, I don't know." Levi was really only joking about the last part. Probably.

The boy turned to Daisy and tried his best at looking both confident and also totally apologetic. It was probably an impossible combination to achieve but at least he was TRYING to make things right, if such a thing was possible. Though he was sure that whatever friendship they could have had was probably long gone by now. "You're okay, right?" He attempted a smile. "I mean, as okay as you can be after uh--that." Still feeling like someone was watching him, Levi turned around once more and even walked the perimeter until his eyes fell on the offerings. He laughed. "Look, the chicken is still here!!!" And the rosewater, too, though it'd been knocked over by the wind, its contents spilling on the courtyard's floor.

Daisy was giving the three siblings some space to reconnect and all of that, still crouching down and watching the scarab. Where had that thing come from? She was quite sure that she hadn't hallucinated it flying out of Declan's mouth but that still felt weird. Or maybe everything about this night felt weird and the scarab was only a small detail. The girl did turn to look back at Declan once he talked, eyebrows raising at his choice of words. Okay, so he had gone somewhere and had been replaced with a really horrible God, his sister was having a freakout, he was puking his guts out and his first words were about the scarab?

Maybe the little bug was more important than she had originally thought, then.

Finally standing up, she simply nodded when the fellow Slytherin claimed this wasn't his first time. She believed that, she truly did, but it was pretty obvious that there had been something different about this. Levi and Althea had been freaking out and this couldn't be their first time either. She wasn't the brightest cookie in the jar but even Daisy could tell that something had been off. It probably wasn't the most tactful thing to point out, however, so she remained quiet.

She still felt slightly dizzy from everything that had happened.

"I'm fine, don't worry." She assured Levi, nevertheless, her lips forming a smile. A loud chuckle was heard and she threw the boy a pointed look. "It just wasn't really what I had been expecting." He had said bone reading!!! What they had done -- whatever that had been, she was still having trouble believing it -- had been vastly different. Why had she even brought the chicken? As Levi had stated, it was still there! All covered in leaves and dirt, thanks to the mini-storm that the angry God had created but it was intact. He hadn't even taken a wing! "What a waste." She commented mournfully, before moving to the circle and picking up the now empty flask of rosewater. "The scarab, then. Are we killing it or not?" She asked Declan as she moved to put the flask over the bug, trapping it.

Declan was even reluctant to think it but here it was, that moment, where he wondered if he had bitten more than he could chew.

After Henry's disappearance he had wanted to find something more concrete about the disappearances other than bright flashes of light being the culprit. Guilt washed over him through Althea's tight embrace and he felt it sizzle on his skin. It stung but he held on to her tighter. "Sorry," he whispered to the top of her head. "I should have warned you better."

Althea's attention went to the scarab and so did his. Declan watched it with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. It was their gift or rather...Declan huffed trying to figure out how to explain it to his siblings and the spare.

He glanced over at the girl. He had forgotten her name already. Her energy had been useful and he thought she deserved some explanation now that he had gone to where he had wanted to go to.

"Bones weren't going to give me the answers I wanted..." He was going to have to tell Levi later that he really had no plans on finding out about the library. He could have told him the chances himself even without a bone reading or even without drawing cards. The offerings pointed out to him, he noticed the lavender stone Althea had brought was now steaming and there were silver cracks running through it.

Declan knelt and picked it up. It was a little hot to the touch so he bounced it on his palm, hissing a little bit.

"The scarab gets to live," Declan said walking towards Daisy still bouncing the stone in his hand. He bounced it high once and plucked it from the high. "This is yours. I'm sorry you didn't get the bone reading you wanted. I hope this is a fair replacement." Declan took one of Daisy's hands, turned the palm up and placed the stone on her palm. He trapped the stone and her hand between both hands.

"Adiuro Vos," he whispered. Heat spread from the stone and through both their hands, wrapping around their wrists and up their arms before it vanished. Slowly, Declan let go.

"If you're not satisfied, I can always throw the bones another day," he said with a tired grin.

Despite all the shenanigans they had been through that night (how long had they been out there??), Althea was glad that they were all safe. Even Daisy. While she always held Declan in high regard as her most reliable brother, she had to admit that Levi fell into Older Brother Mode with ease. Her respect for him increased by about one percent. For that, she released Declan from her embrace and hugged Levi. It was a very picturesque moment, in her mind, and she was sure if their parents (namely their father) could see them now, they'd want pictures to commemorate.

"Oh, Daisy," she said suddenly, releasing Levi. "Good job, y'know, for not dying and for being alright." Which was the nicest thing Althea could muster for someone she barely knew. Daisy wasn't as bad as Althea wanted her to be (she didn't trust her fully!!!) but she would allow her to be an acquaintance, of sorts. She actually wanted to thank her for being there because her presence was probably the reason why they all managed to make it out unscathed. She was certain that had the three of them done this alone, Declan probably would've been coughing up more than an insect.

Walking over to where Daisy had the scarab trapped, she removed it and placed the scarab on the palm of her hand. "Okay, are you going to explain why we need this?" She actually did not want to hear the explanation at all--because whatever it was, she just knew it was not going to be good--but she was still sort of curious. "Now that the shock has worn off," she started. In all honesty, Althea wasn't afraid of (most) bugs; it was just overwhelming to see something fly out of her brother's previously possessed mouth. "I can now see that it's sort of harmless, and kind of cute." After saying this, she felt a strange pull towards the bug.

It seemed that Declan was not completely done with Daisy. Althea kept quiet as he placed the lavender stone in Daisy's hand; she had no idea what she was in for. If Althea wasn't so cynical, she'd almost feel sorry for her.

Wowza!

Levi was only a little shocked at Althea's open display of affection and he had the decency to halfway smile at her and kindly pat the back of her head. He still had some questions for Declan and he still felt like he was being watched--there was a strange sensation on the back of his neck still, like bugs were crawling all over it. But for the moment Levi felt like he could just be happy over the fact that they were all okay.

Until Declan, of course, decided to do as Declan often did except this time he went for Daisy. Levi supposed he ought to have been worried but mostly he was annoyed. He'd been trying very hard to acquire friend that did not share his DNA yet it seemed like both of his siblings were going out of his way to ruin the potential of having new friends.

"Maybe another night, Declan. The forbidden section isn't going anywhere." One because he was ready for this to end so he could drill his brother about what exactly had just happened. And two because he didn't think he could stand through a bone reading session tonight. If he was being honest, Levi actually felt quite drained. He turned to look at Althea, one of his arms still around her shoulders. His eyebrows quirked up. "What are we gonna call it?" Was it a girl or a boy? More importantly, why couldn't they get a normal pet for once?

Well, the bones might not have given Declan the answers he had wanted, but invoking some ancient God hadn't given them any answers. If he had, then Daisy had not heard them. So, unless Declan found what he had been looking for in whatever place he got taken to, this had been a terrible waste of a completely good chicken.

Even if she was getting a stone in return.

She hadn't really been given a choice, so her sole option was to stand there, hand trapped inside of Declan's as she looked at it. The stone was hot to the touch and she winced every so slightly, gaze turning to look at Declan as he whispered some words. That was a spell. She might not know what spell it was, or what it did, but it was definitely a spell and the Slytherin shifted in her place, uncomfortable. The heat spreading through her arm didn't really faze her as much as the fact that she had had a spell cast on her. With no permission.

"Honestly, I don't really care about the bone reading." She told him quietly. As soon as he let go of her, she removed her hand and clutched the stone tightly. "But if you ever again put a spell on me without any warning, I will break your nose." Well, she would try at least. Tonight, though, they had had enough. She had had enough. Now that the excitement wore off, she was growing steadily aware of what they were actually doing and what they were risking. She pocketed the stone and turned back to her fellow Slytherin, her smiling face a complete contrast to how it had been a minute before. "What does that do, then?" Clearly, she meant the spell.

Apart from the heat that was disappearing from her arm, she felt okay. No killing hex, then. Would he give her time to warn someone before she died? Probably not.

Alright. Daisy actually laughed at Althea's words, stopping almost immediately as she realised that it was still quiet. The laughter somehow felt wrong. "Thanks, Althea. Not dying is my ultimate goal." It wasn't a complete joke, actually, specially considering that they were at Hogwarts. For a school, it had an alarmingly high death rate. "Anyway, we need to take the chicken." Yup. Even if it was all dirty now.

Declan nodded at Daisy's threat. It was an acknowledgement of her annoyance but he was sure she'd get over it by the next day. Hopefully. If not, well there was not much he could do about that for now. He pocketed his hands and sighed, shaking his head slightly at his siblings chatter.

"You can take the chicken, if that's what you want," Declan said with a small frown. He was slightly concerned. The chicken had been laying there and the courtyard looked well..trashy. He hoped the chicken hadn't gotten any of that on it but if it pleased Daisy..."Listen, Dukes," Declan was making up a name as he went. "I apologize but you know, I gotta look out for my own. It's just a simple binding spell." Temporary, really, but he wasn't about to tell her that bit. "I just need to make sure you're not going to go blabbering about what you saw and did tonight. I know," he said pulling out one hand from his pocket to raise it in the air. "I know, I could have just taken your word for it but people say a lot of things."

He took another deep breath and turned to Althea and the scarab. He swallowed hard as he looked at it.

"That's your Charlotte," he explained as best he could in the company of too many. "Can we talk about it later? I feel dizzy."

It would probably be the last bit of open affection Althea would willingly offer her brothers for a while; she hoped they appreciated her for it. Things didn't feel as tense or dramatic as before, but Althea still frowned at Daisy and her threat towards Declan. Her eyes narrowed, "Watch yourself, Diana. I don't take kindly to threats towards these two." Because Althea would personally see to it that Daisy spent the remainder of the school year in the Hospital Wing.

Her anger dissipated once the scarab started crawling up the length of her arm and perched on her shoulder. Strange. "I think I'll call it Amias. Sounds strong and sturdy and secretive." As Declan spoke, Althea half wondered if the scarab was sentient. Was it understanding what they were saying? Did it have any magical properties? She had so many questions, but she was sure they'd have to wait until later. "Interesting," was all she said and she shrugged. No big deal, she would pester him about it another time. "Well, I guess we can call it a night. You need to lie down and drink water, Declan."

Wowza!

Both of his siblings were definitely going out of their way to keep him from making any friends. It was almost like Declan and Althea had agreed behind his back to make it one of their missions to keep Levi isolated from the rest of Hogwarts. Which was a total possibility and it wasn't like he'd help matters much (or at all) but it still made him frown at the back of the Declan's head and tighten the arm he had around Althea's shoulders.

Well, Daisy wasn't exactly helping herself either.

Levi brought himself closer to the two Slytherins and dragged Althea with him. Though, in second thought, he should have just left her behind. He shot her a brief, wide eyed look. "Hey," He said, flashing everyone a smile that would have made his father proud and his mother roll his eyes in annoyance. "It's all good! Right? Daisy was just trying to defend herself, too, obviously." Obviously. Though Levi had to admit threats didn't exactly sit well with him either. It wasn't like his brain was wired to forget those easily, and it was possible it was already thinking of ways to prevent the threat from actually happening. Levi tried very hard not to narrow his eyes at the whole thing, so he just focused on the cobblestone floor beneath them.

In truth, he was a little offended that Declan was not choosing to trust someone he'd trusted enough to bring them here. Not that he'd known Daisy very well (or much at all) but Levi thought he had good judgment. The scarab had crawled up to Althea's shoulder, the one where Levi's hand rested and he frowned it. He did not trust these sort of things easily, unlike his siblings, especially not after Anubis' little display of his temper. But. "I really don't think you should take that chicken, Daisy. It's been there for a good while." The three second rule for sure no longer apply. "You don't want to end up at Healer Reed's for food poisoning." Levi let go of Althea and went to his brother, grabbed his arm, and wound it around his own shoulders. Just in case he needed support in the literal sort of way.

"Alright, not that I'm against getting into trouble because it does keep things interesting and fresh," though he totally was against it; he was not a fan of howlers, "but if we're all done posturing here," mostly Declan and Daisy because Slytherin, he supposed. Which was rich coming from him because Gryffindor and all that, "then can we please go back inside? It's cold and I'm already behind on my scheduled revising." Not to mention that he, too, was hungry, as the way his stomach growled quite loudly pointed out.

Dukes. Diana. These three were all insane. Levi seemed slightly less insane but Daisy was beginning to think his madness just hadn't manifested itself. Still, now that they were all alive, she couldn't deny that it had been a pretty fun night. No consensual binding spell excluded, of course. Althea's words didn't really faze her and she simply shrugged at the girl once she and Levi approached. "Of course you don't. They are your brothers. That's how it works." She had four of those, she knew how it worked. Well, three of those. Evangeline was very much a sister, not a brother. But she wasn't just going to nod her head and go along with everything these three said.

"Just ... give me a warning next time." She told Declan when he explained what the spell did. Brilliant, so they were all insane, Althea would probably kill her one day and yet she was now bound to them. "You shouldn't take anyone's word on that." That would be a stupid risk and it made complete sense that he wouldn't take it. Slytherin mistrust and all that. She grimaced and tilted her head, looking at him. "You could've taken my word that I would let you do the spell, though." YEAH, MAN. That hurt.

Still, she would live.

Poor Levi, though. Things hadn't really gone to plan for him and she sent him a soft smile as he tried to calm things down. All cool here. Yup. She was going to tell him that but then he went on about the chicken and food poisoning. Daisy stopped moving and stared at him, pretty sure that she felt her cheeks getting warmer despite the cold air. Here's the thing: she had thought about taking that chicken back to eat it. Once she had realised how dirty it was, she had -- sadly, mournfully -- given up on the poor chicken. She wasn't about to admit to that, though. "I mean--" She cleared her throat. "Are we really leaving this here?" She pointed once more to the poor, dirty chicken, laying in the middle of a chalk circle. "Won't people be suspicious tomorrow when they find it?"

See? She just wanted to clear their tracks.

"Anyway, I should get going." She looked at the three of them, all hugged up and smiled. Yeah, they were insane but they were alright. "Leave the three of you to your secrets." Clearly there was something going on here that she wasn't supposed to be privy too. They seemed far too comfortable with that scarab as a pet now for it to not have happened before.

Ama!Nabs IS NAMED MINHO & Is SO Black Panther Right Now

Declan was hesitant to call this night a disaster. He had lived an encounter with Anubis--sort of--so he considered it a success. Yes. This night was a success even if he did do some kind of non-consensual spell. He could take it back in an instant but he couldn't. It would defeat the purpose of having done it in the first place.

"I could have asked, you are right." he agreed. He could have and maybe should have and yet...

So a success even if Althea was currently threatening Daisy back. Declan sighed and glanced over at the top of her curly hair. If he could thwack her over the head he could but at the moment he was using all his energy to concentrate in making words, listening and comprehending, and standing, all at the same time.

"Hmm," was his only response to Althea naming the scarab. Strong, sturdy and secretive. Declan laughed nervously. "It's very fitting. Yes," he agreed to Althea's orders. Really, he wanted a whole gallon of water, some headache potion and a sleeping potion combined, and a good 12 hours of sleep. He knew he wouldn't get 12 hours but he could dream about it.

"First, Daisy is right, we need to clean up before we go so if Daisy wants to be responsible for the chicken that works, and she can take the stone with her," he pointed weakly at the rest of the offerings. "Maybe Levi or Althea..." Declan feared if he bent over he would erase the chalk circle with his face. "The chalk...I'd use my wand but...I'm not sure about the accuracy right now."

It never crossed her mind that her lone-wolf-schtick was not how her brothers chose to live their lives. She was perfectly content with being mostly alone. Besides...who could really keep up with her, anyway? A small twinge of regret gave Althea momentary pause, but that soon went away. Levi would thank her and Declan for taking the necessary precautions to ensuring that he was only surrounded by trustworthy and positive people.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," she replied, waving her hand dismissively at both Levi and Daisy. She'd said her piece and wouldn't pursue the issue any further; it seemed that Levi's friend had made the smart decision to drop it. It was Daisy's persistence to claim the chicken that caused Althea's face to contort, mirroring her shock and horror. With widened eyes she shook her head. "That is nasty, you need to love yourself, girl." Maybe that was why Daisy was so defensive! Low self-esteem? Possible poverty?? Was she one of those girls who lived in a house filled with children and was forced to be subservient to the head of the household for bread and cheese??? This made Althea all the more sympathetic to her. "Glad to see you've taken the charitable route," Althea whispered loudly to Levi. She was proud of him for being such a good person, even under the duress of a maniacal portal that abducted children at its own whim.

Staring bug-eyed at Declan, she complied. "Go on, Danika, take the chicken." Who was she to stop a poor girl in need? Pulling out her wand, Althea, per Declan's (weakly worded) request, she quickly cast a cleaning spell to remove the chalk. There. Now no one would be the wiser. "Come on, you loon," Althea linked arms with Declan (to offer support), "we'll walk you back." Not that she didn't trust him to make it to the dungeons safely, but she had a feeling that he was probably more fatigued than he let on. With Amias perched quietly on her shoulder, Althea called out to her sourpuss older brother: "Walk faster, Levi. It's chilly out!"

After a few days back in the school, Olivia was coming to the understanding that things were simply going to be different from here on to the end of term. Not only were the corridors crawling with Professors and Prefects... at all times... but... they were actually being escorted to lessons. Like.... in large groups. It made the Gryffindor itchy; feeling as though she was being herded like cattle. It was all in the name of their safety, but wasn't it also dangerous to keep children caged up together? Wasn't boredom also a health risk? People did stupid things when they were bored...

And this curfew... actually wasn't too difficult to deal with. She had one of those at home, but it was still a change of pace from being able to venture off on one's own for a little bit; to just do your own thing without prying eyes. Her privacy was one of the few treasures she had left...

Accepting that she was going to be followed and watched no matter what she did, the blonde Gryffindor dressed for frolicking; slipping on a pair of shoes she had no intentions of keeping on. Olivia had come to appreciate the grass and sand beneath her toes, and found enjoyment in the untamed nature of it all. So, that's where she could be found on this bright beautiful Saturday morning; dancing and twirling around the Courtyard and reveling in the sun and greenery.... and perhaps even singing a bit. The Belle!bug was starting to bite, and her soul needed to release its energy. Via performance? Was there another way?.... Could she coax her Prince Adam out of hiding? Was that even possible at this point? Was she enough?

....anyway....

F R E S H. A I R.... Was there anything better? "Neeeew and a bit alarming...." Indeed.

Outside, outside, outside, she had to get outside. The first year was starting to feel cooped up and antsy and like she might just burst out of her skin if she didn't get outside right this second.

And with everything that was going on, a somewhat observed courtyard was as close as she was gonna get. The air was different out here, and the redhead took a deeeeeeeeeeeep breath before letting herself sink to the ground and lay down spread eagle as she looked up at the sky. Was this what the birds felt like when they were hurt and couldn't fly? Or.. oh no. Was this what her pet mice felt like???????

But her fretting over what her creature friends was interrupted when she heard someone singing. And it sounded familiar... like something she heard in one of the movies Grandma Susan would play... Hazel twisted her head around locating the source, before rolling over onto her stomach and resting her chin on her hands to listen.

Shoes removed, the blonde frolicked off towards an especially cushy patch of bright green grass. Merlin, it was like coming home again... feeling the earth beneath her feet. She felt marginally at peace... and a touch happier than she had been while being cooped up indoors. If only her person would come back to her... Everything might've felt right in the world...

Liv hadn't given up, you realize. One didn't give up on a love like theirs. It was against the rules...

Oh!.... What do we have here....?

Spying a smol child just a ways off, the Gryffindor danced towards her, a bright pretty smile painted upon her face. She adored the younger children, and felt it was her job to shower them all with attention and the like. Even if they weren't interested, which was usually the case given how... full on Olivia could be. Alas, it was a curse... "Whoooooo'd have ever thought that this could beeeeee?" Hello, little Puffer Miss. Hello!

Oh! It was that Gryffindor! Hazel hadn't officially met her, but she'd noticed her at the start of the year and then... had noticed when she was gone. But now, it seemed, she was back! The Hufflepuff wasn't much for gossip, however, and so really didn't know what the story was.

So, instead, as the older girl frolicked over, Hazel propped her head up a little higher, elbows on the ground, and watched. Her smile grew as the song continued and Hazel used her free hand to finger-wiggle-wave at the girl.

Keep singing, yes please.

Sorry, little Puffer Miss, that finger wagging was simply not going to do.

Continuing to smile in her bright, sunny way, Olivia reached for one of the small girl's hands, hoping to pull her up from the ground; so that she may dance and twirl around with her. It was a beautiful day! Too beautiful to be laying around in the grass. And music was meant for dancing... "Truuuuuuue that he's NO... Prince Charming..." Ah, but he was. Indeed, he was. "....But there's something in him that I simply didn't seeeeeee."

The wistful nature in her performance was alive and well, and though the reference to Beauty and the Beast would've made her sad at any other time... she was in good company. Ickles had a way of making her feel normal. "I wonder why I didn't see it there beeefore."

And as if on cue, the Prince Adam to Olivia's Belle was out in the open as though he had been summoned by her voice and that song. Rooney Bronwyn had only wanted to get some fresh air before his game of chess with Brinlee, and yet he had walked out to such a sight he was used to. Hearing Liv sing and watching her move so freely was...something he loved to do once upon a time. Still loved to, actually...but it was different now. Things were different. Perhaps he just loved the idea of seeing and hearing her do all that.

Right now, he wouldn't complain. He perched himself on a wall, watching. And singing along quietly to himself.

Oh. Oh she was coming over! Hazel's smile grew as Olivia neared, but turned to an expression of surprise as she reached for one of Hazel's hands.

Not one to refuse, Hazel shifted - she was laying on her stomach after all - and let Olivia take her hand and tug her to her feet. She didn't know the song, but it seemed to be one that made the older girl happy, and so it must be something worth dancing to. So she would dance and twirl where Olivia led, yes she would. Hazel couldn't help but laugh at the movement, enjoying the singing and not really paying all tha tmuch attention to what was going on around them. That was, until she spotted the shape of a person up on the wall. She couldn't quite make out who it was though.

But, glancing back in the direction of the boy, she thought it was worth mentioning, albeit in hushed tones. "....someone's watching."

Carlton liked Spring. It meant it was time to get out the Spring socks. His favorite was the ones with the dandelions on them. But the ones with roses were OK. Today's socks: Green with sunflowers. Unfortunately he couldn't show them off, because shoes existed. Shoes weren't nearly as much fun as socks.

After returning from the portal and dealing with everything that came with that, fresh air let his lungs feel big and useful. Not cramped and restricted. He didn't usually go to the courtyard, there were too many older students there. And they were tall as trees with booming laughter and big nasty robes that hit him in the face. He much rather preferred to hang out in the pathways or down by the lake.

But he braved the big trees older students and found himself in the courtyard, doing a little twirl in the sun. He couldn't help but notice the singing. BEAUTIFUL SINGING. Carlton strutted towards the sound, knowing perfectly well who it would lead him to.

Mamamamamamamamamamama. "Liv-Liv-Liv-Liv-Liv." He murmured to himself as he spotted her through a group of people. Excuse you, tall Ravenclaw-man, coming through. Carlton beamed as he made his way over to Liv where she was dancing with a younger girl. A girl he recognized but didn't know. Friend.

"LIV!" He bounced. Notice me, notice me. Down here, notice me, please.
