Ohhhhh, alrighty then, that made more sense. TJ would have remembered if she'd been hugged by a stranger. Laughing lightly she shook her head and peered back around the corner at the climbing wall, when she heard an uhhh sound behind her.

Turning back around she saw Isobel lying there "Isobel!" Trying to walk back to her which was very difficult on the spongy bouncy floor. "Are you alright?!?!"

Theodore gave a sad little nod, acquiescing to the fact that he had been bored out of his mind as well. The whole dynamic of their small group of friends had changed at the end of the year: while Alfeodore had hung out more, Braeden, Emma, and Ruby had had their own set of problems. Ellie was still probably recovering from the ordeal on the island, and Sarah was probably off with her new sister-in-law and her brother celebrating their marriage. Sigh. "I...I'm more glad," He countered, grinning mischievously. "To see you, I mean. I would have gotten to your house sooner, but Bree got sick for a short while, and--and things happened." He shrugged, slightly disheartened. "But we're here now, so that's what counts, right?" Theo snuck a quick kiss, his lips pressed to hers for a millisecond before pulling away, feeling like a school boy who had just found a shiny, new galleon on the sidewalk.

It was only when Alfie suggested that they actually enter the bouncy Hogwarts replica that Theodore pulled away, tugging at her slightly. "Are you sure?" He asked, looking hesitant. "I... I... Alf-" It was only then that a familiar face appeared, hopefully to save him from the horrors of the bounce house. "Emma!" He called a bit too loudly, trying to grab her attention.

Isobel laughed. "Yeah, but I can't get up." It was hard to get hurt in a bouncy house. She couldn't get up because it was too bouncy, so she just fell right down again.

Sighing with relief, "Don't scare me like that!" she shook her head trying to look irritated. Laughing she gave up the act, it wasn't working. Not with a bouncy house there! "Ok, erm let's see." Reaching her hand down to help the girl, she tried to brace herself on the floor.

"Thanks!" said Emma, taking of her shoes. Luckily for her they were slip-ons, so she could get them off easily. And then the blonde headed into the bouncy castle. Oh Merlin!

And then a Puff was talking to her. Hang on. She looked quite familiar. The blonde laughed a little. "Oh yes, I think you did. Isobel was it? I'm Emma," she said, with a bright smile. And then before she could say anything else, someone else was calling out her name!

Now, who could that be? The blonde turned around and saw ALFREDORE!! Oh, ehh.. errr... The blonde hoped she wasn't crashing anything. And she hoped that Brae hadn't told Theo about how the blonde yelled at him. Oh yes. He had provoked her after all. "Theo! Alfie! Isn't this castle!? AWESOME!?" exclaimed Emma, beaming a one-hundred watt smile at the both of them as she made her way towards them!

Angelina and Victoria waited for other students to leave. In the mean time they took off their shops, and checked for any sharp objects they might have, as the man ask for. Both never found any sharp objects, so they stood around waiting.

Isobel reached up and grabbed TJ's hand. She tried to get up, while at the same time pulling hard on TJ's hand to help her. Unfortunately, that was not the smartest idea. The only thing Isobel had succeeded in doing was pulling TJ down next to her. Isobel couldn't help but laugh, she turned to TJ and smiled guiltily. "Sorry."

Then she looked toward the other girl who she had hugged before. "Yep. Isobel VonHue, fifth year Hufflepuff. Nice to meet you Emma." She was still sitting on the floor of the bouncy house, of course, because she could not get up.

Steven looked into the bouncy castle and it looked a bit clearer now. "There you go ladies, go right ahead" he said while holding the flap for them. and making sure that he never took his eyes off everyones shoes.

Falling face first into the bouncy floor, she rolled over laughing. "Ok, this might be difficult." Shaking her head she started bouncing as she sat there. Looking up as another Slytherin girl started talking to Isobel. "Hmmm, I have an idea...how about if you Emma, sit down really hard, I bet all three of us will bounce to standing!"

Alfie let out a soft giggle as Theo informed her that he was more glad, explaining that he would've been over to see her but Bree had been sick recently. Her smile fell at the news and her blonde eyebrows furrowed immediately in concern, "What happened? Is she alright?" the girl asked with genuine worry in her expression. She couldn't imagine Bree sick, it must've been worrying Theo to no end. But before she could pull out all of her sympathy, Theo was mentioning that they were at least together now, something she couldn't help but smile at. "Yes, that's what counts," she agreed before very swiftly Theo's lips had found her own in a gentle kiss, one she hardly had the chance to register. It only lasted a moment but that moment seemed to be enough to make the little blonde Ravvie turn a light shade of pink, the largest of smiles on her expression. She definitely didn't mind this new stage in their relationship.

Still gently leading him back towards the bouncy castle, her expression still a bit pink, she listened as the boy whose hands she currently had enveloped in her own seemed to protest. "Of course I'm sure!" she replied with a grin, smiling up at him with her large blue eyes. Fortunately for the boy, they were both distracted with Emma in the next moment, allowing the blonde in front of him to forget her quest to convince him for a moment. "Emma!" Alfie greeted with a soft chuckle, watching as the girl bounced around in the bouncy castle, able to see her through one of the many windows. Unfortunately for Theo, Emma's presence only seemed to fuel Alfie's desire to go and to bring her boyfriend along. Alfie whipped back forward to face Theo, her long light blonde hair gently flowing behind her as she set her large blue eyes back onto his expression. Sensing his reluctance, the little Ravenclaw gave him a face that resembled something between sympathy and begging, as part of her desperately wanted him to go with her, but the other part seemed not want to force him.

"Theo..." she said softly, playfully even as she flashed him a gentle smile, taking a step closer to him with her hands still entwined with his own. "Would you please accompany me into the bouncy house to see Emma?" Alfie asked, her soft voice casting a striking contrast to the various noises of the carnival around them.

The blonde grinned at Isobel. "Nice to meet you. Hope you enjoy the bouncy castle!" exclaimed Emma with a bright smile as she waited for Alfredore to join her on this incredible masterpiece. Merlin. Thank Merlin for muggles. This made the Malfoy love them even more. Now, if her parents saw her on this bouncy castle then she'd be DEAD. Well, not dead, but grounded and severely punished. But, who cares? She was fifteen and almost an adult, in her mind anyway. Being an adult meant she got to do what she want without anyone nagging her. Though, she still HAD to do homework.

Turning back to team Alfredore, the blonde jumped up and down excitedly. "Come on you slowpokes!! What are you waiting for?" she cried, her eyes wide with excitement. Come on!! Come onto the bouncy castle, my castle, where I shall begin the plans of WORLD DOMINATION! thought Emma as she smiled wickedly. Mwahaha.. This would be her base for taking over the world with Team Slytherclaw. Oh yes. Wait and see Hogwarts.

Selina followed her friends over to the bouncy castle as they giggled and talked about how much fun it would be. In all honesty she was dreading it. One more reason for her to get hurt and her face already had a hand print on it. What more did they want to do to hurt her? She could only guess.

Alex wandered around the carnival until she came across the bouncy castle where she had ageed to meet with Damon. Bleh..she was late. She saw him standing nearby and walked towards him, trying really hard to hide a smile. The guy was actually cleaning up the place. Great. "Hey. Sorry for the delay." She said, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Jasper walked up to the big bouncy castle. Jasper was like a little five year old again. WOW that was long time ago.

BOUNCY CASTLE!!!! Jasper had a grin across his beautiful flawless tan face. He was ready to get his inner little kid on. So what did he have to do? He just had to ask the carnie person? He thought so but he started to take off his yellow converse sneakers.

He looked at the carnie. "May I go in?" He asked.

"Oh, it was just... a cat flu, something she probably ate. But she's alright now..." Although those had been a harrowing few days. Bree was his furry adopted little kitten child and Theo had been sick with worry, although the muggle veterinarian had insisted that it would pass quickly and that she would be fine. But speaking of manners non-feline, the look on Alfie's face was too enchanting for words. Most would have giggled at the sight of a blushing girl, but Theo thought the surprised expression on her face was too endearing for words. It was warming to know that he could have such an effect on her; on anyone, for that matter.

...

Now he had a dilemma. Not one, but two of his closest friends were enticing him into the bouncy house. All of his childhood experiences with such inflatable devices had been traumatizing, to say the least, but the look on Alfie's face and the menace in Emma's tone were very persuasive. Females really knew how to assert their power, whether they had to bat their lashes or give a glare to get what they wanted. Glancing between Alfie and Emma, there was silence for a moment. "...Fine," he conceded, melodramatically slumping his shoulders and hanging his head as he admitted defeat, although a part of him was intrigued with the magical bounce house.

Damon turned at the sound of a voice directed at him, a gentle smirk playing across his lips when he realized it was Alex. "Oh, please, don't worry about it," Damon said with a little chuckle. In all honesty Damon found he was usually the one late to things, and if it hadn't been for him working the carnival he probably would have been late himself. "This place is pretty crazy isn't it?" Damon commented to Alex, shooting a look at a random kid that had entered the bouncy castle.

Damon was about to say something when another stray piece of what looked like a paper bag flew across their vision. Pulling out his recently pocketed wand, Damon gave it a quick flick, vanishing the paper successfully. Damon turned to look at Alex with an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry if it seems like I am paying an unusual amount of attention to the trash and recycling bins around here, but I kind of have to for the Ministry. It's my first field assignment that I got and I want to make sure I'm helping out the best I can." What could Damon say, he was eco-friendly. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Raven ran forward up to the Bouncy Hogwarts Castle and was waiting for her friends Anna and Nessie. Hopefully they would get here soon so they could adventure through the castle!

Dani moved and stood by the Bouncy Castle as she waited for Louisa to arrive- it would be so good to see her again! It really felt like it had been a while- which was silly because it hadn't been long at all!

Louisa had recieved the invitation to the Carnival from Dani earlier this day and decided to meet the girl. Personally, she didn't like to hang around here much.. one reason, of course, she might bump into Dallin and Ellie and that would be a total disaster of course. But with a friend, she'd be distracted and lives would be saved... sort of.

"Hey Dani," She hugged the older friend and gave her a big smile. They hadn't seen each other since the sleepover at Kita's. "How're you? And philip?" they were still together, right? Because it would be a shame if they hadn't. They looked so cute and so in love... Louisa needed to believe in such lasting relationships.

"I'm great!" Dani said softly, returning the friendly hug before nodding, she was glad to see Louisa, who was super sweet. "Ahh Philip's great too thanks!" she said softly with a little wink at the younger girl.

"How about you?" she asked softly as she moved to slip off her ballet pumps to get onto the bouncy castle. It looked super fun!

"Great," At least someone was enjoying their summer so far. Louisa had followed Dani's steps and got off her flipflops, this bouncing thing might help her to get rid of the over energy she had been feeling lately.

"I'm good. My family's back from France and I have a bunch of new clothes," She chuckled and rolled her eyes sarcastically. She'd never cared so much about clothes. Well, maybe just now when Dallin was around.. but still..

"Let's get in!" She held her hand out to the girl so they could jump in like little girls. Weeeeee..

WELL WELL WELL.
Braeden had heard something about two impossibly beautiful evil little blonde girls hating - HATING! - on his bromance with Theo. Well now, that was just UNACCEPTABLE! No one hated on the bromance of the century! Ya kidding?! They were probably just jealous they didn't have a bestie to slow-dance to Strange Magic with. Psh.

Anyway.
Theo had mentioned something about a bouncy Hogwarts castle in his note. Poor disoriented Braeden didn't even know there wa a carnival going on in the first place, until just very recently. He felt tempted to go stuff his face with ice cream, since he had neglected the ice cream he'd gotten earlier while talking with Emma. BUT THERE WAS NO TIME.
BROS BEFORE CONES. And right now Theo needed Braeden's help to get back at their bromance-hating girlfriends.

And so, with a look of determination and a confident strut, Braeden walked into the bouncy castle.
His superhero act last about 0.358 seconds as, just as he walked into the fake castle, the bounciness of it made him lose his balance and fall face-first onto the bouncy stone floors. Not without doing a bit of flailing around like a chick trying to learn to fly first.

Gahhh.
Getting up clumsily, Braeden pulled off his shoes and began to bounce his way into the castle, hopping his way deeper into its bouncy corridors in search for his curly-haired friend.

Sarah found herself in front of a giant bouncy castle. The sign said it was supposed to be Hogwarts. Sarah glanced around, she wondered if she could get away with bouncing around inside... She saw a boy, probably around the age of her brother, entering the castle. Well, if he could do it...

"Hello? Mister?" Sarah tried to get the carnie's attention as she removed her black sneakers. "Yes, may I enter?"

She walked with some difficulty into the castle and saw the boy from outside.

"Hey, do you always do stuff like this?" Sarah asked curiously, "I mean, I have a brother who's probably only a year or two younger than you, and he would never do this."

This have got to be a nightmare. It was a huge castle, almost like the one he was told he would be going to in the Fall. He poked the side of the castle with his index finger and rather liked the bounciness.

Hmm, wasn't this muggle-ish?

It totally was. He's seen these before, but he's never actually played in one. It almost seemed dangerous how bouncy the thing was.

Merlin, Theo was taking his sweet time and letting the suspense hang in the air for a looong time. He had to see their way, right? Two against one and they could easily win against him with their Slytherclaw powers. Oh, Merlin's Beard. They could. Or so, the Malfoy hoped. And she waited for the answer. The suspense was beginning to kill her..........

SCORE!! That would be 150 points to Alife and Emma.

Yes, who runs the world THEO?! GIRLS. Well to be precise, Slytherclaw girls. Mhmm... And Theo was coming onto the Bouncy castle!! The blonde beamed a smile at the Ravenclaws and continued bouncing. "Yay! I'll wait for you by the entrance," she exclaimed, feeling like a little girl who had just gotten a large piece of candy or a new stuffed teddy bear. The blonde, gleefully, bounced all the way to the top and waited there for Alfredore to join her. Where was Braeden? Hopefully the Gryffindork wouldn't miss out on this fun. As the Malfoy stared at the window to try to find Alfredore, whom had seemed to disappear from her sight, the Malfoy looked down and saw a tall attractive brunette falling to the ground.

Hmmmmmm.... He looked oddly familiar. Too familiar. Sadly, the blonde didn't get to see his face, so she continued bouncing up and down. And soon, her legs were beginning to ache. Owwww... Not fun. So, the Slytherin decided to sit down for a while and take a rest. Merlin, she shouldn't have gone on that six mile run yesterday. A few minutes later, she was up and bouncing. So, Emma decided to head by the entrance to see if Alfredore was there.....
