"Thank you. I realize that Miss Greingoth." She was lucky she was a student, and a young one at that. There were much more things Scabior wanted to add.


Again. Slow. There was no reason for him not to be anxious, he wanted the inching to stop. "And somebody isn't hoping to get a reward from her good deed." Sierra Greingoth was just like Ellie. They both needed to learn how to talk to Professors properly.

It was faint, but he could feel the soothing sensation. The itching wasn't as bad, it had actually worked. "Inform Professor Lafay that I think you should get an O for your potion."

It was time for Amelia to take Pixie out for a little walk around the castle and show her different parts of it. Since this was her home until Graduation, Amelia thought that she should give her a little tour.

They had started at the Dungeons, and now made their way to the First Floor. "This is where I have some classes," she explained.

*SQUEAK SQUEAK*

Amelia really hoped that this was a sign that Pixie was enjoying her tour so far. There were more floors to go, and she didn't want her Pygmy Puff bored to tears. "I suppose if you get tired of this, I can always find a way to amuse you, Pixie."

Maybe she would introduce her to Adele. Unfortunately she couldn't play music at Hogwarts, but she could still sing. She might give Pixie a little song and dance number. :3

Zayden didn't exactly know what to do with this Pygmy Puff because he wasn't a animal person, so he wasn't experienced. He had kinda adopted it yesterday when it continued to follow him from the Great Hall to outside to his common room, but he was sure it belonged to someone. "I need to name you..." He said as he looked at the purple creature in his hands.

*SQUEAKY SQUEAKY*

"Do you like the name Squeakers?"

He had been paying too much attention to his Puff, so it was reasonable to assume that it was his fault that he ran into someone or something. His pygmy puff jumped out of his hand and to the floor when he had collided right into someone and, without looking to see who it was, he said, "I'm sorry." He picked up his pygmy puff now, and then looked up to see, "Amelia?"

Amelia was busy looking around her trying to find a new object of interest to explain to Pixie while absentmindedly petting her fur. That was when she hit a rock-solid wall and Pixie flew out of her hands and onto the floor.

"Do you ever watch where you're going?" she snapped as she rubbed her head. She had lost Pixie. UGH! She was so mad until she heard Zayden's voice.

"What are you doing here?" Okay, maybe that was a stupid question because he could go wherever he wanted to. "Nevermind..." she added as she rubbed her head. Finding Pixie was more important.

*SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK*

Oh, no! Her Pixie had been hurt! It was all her fault. She started looking around for her Puff frantically, and then noticed that she was okay. She was bouncing up and down because she saw another Puff. "I take it that's your new pet? Look, Pixie! Daddy has a new pet!"

... *MEEEEELLOW*

Zayden had expected her to get snappy with him. "I usually do," he silently commented as he petted his big ball of fluff. "It's okay, Squeakers. She's usually not this spicey." He didn't want his new ball of fluff to think that his fiance was some sort of evil monster.

*SQUEAK!*

The little purple ball of fluff jumped right out of his hands, and it started bouncing over to Pixie.

"I was heading back towards the common room," he answered Amelia now and he added as an after thought, "and I do believe Squeakers found a new friend." He was quite entertaining watching the two puffs get to know each other.

WAIT. A. SECOND.

"I'm Pixie's daddy now?" He hadn't been told of this!

Amelia frowned at her fiance now. "I'm not spicy. I'm your fiancee." There was clearly a difference that he wasn't understanding.

She watched as his Puff jumped out of his hands and wandered over to Pixie, who was currently going berserk. She was jumping up and down eagerly and bouncing around her new friend, squeak getting louder and louder.

*SQUEAK SQUEEEEEEEEAK SQUEEEEEAAAAAK SQUEAK*

She eyed the new Puff. "If that's a male, he better have the best intentions at heart." She didn't want Pixie to have baby Puffs now or something. She really hoped Zayden had found a female. "Anyway, I'm glad I found you." She was always glad when she found her lovely fiance.

"You are her daddy. You're the daddy to all my pets." Duh.

"You're my spicy fiancee." Zayden winked at her before kissing her cheek. She couldn't deny that she could get spicy sometimes -- and she could also get scary at times too! Honestly, he was attracted to spicy woman because even his last girlfriend, Janet, had had her moment of spiciness. It must have been something he liked in a woman.

*SQUEAAAAAAK*

His pygmy puff jumped around Amelia's, his squeaks getting a little bit louder, and it sure did look like he was having a lot of fun.

"I... I don't know what it is." He shrugged. "It's name is Squeakers, though, and it's a very good puff." This was actually the first pet he had a liking for, but it must only be because he didn't have any allergic reactions to it. It also wasn't hairless like his evil cat was. "I'm glad I found you too!" He kissed her cheek again.

"To think, I'm not even a pet person either." Yet, he was daddy to all hers.

"Uh huh." Amelia rolled her eyes but couldn't help the smile that formed on her lips as he kissed her cheek. Zayden could be a real charmer... when he wanted to.

*SQUEAK SQUEAK*

She couldn't believe how rowdy these Puffs were! And she was almost 100 percent sure that Zayden's Puff was a male. She would have her eye on Squeakers. "He's brighter and fluffier than Pixie. Those are male traits." So yeah... there was a really good chance that Zayden had found a male. She kissed Zayden's cheek now. "Do you have any cupcakes on you?" She wanted to try something. hehe.

"Too bad, daddy." ^_______^

Zayden kissed her cheek again because HE COULD! Ha. "I love you, beautiful." He loved her oh-so much.

*SQUEAKY SQUEAKY*

He leaned up against the wall, crossed his arms over his chest, and watched at the two crazy little puffs jump around. "I do believe they're going to be the best of friends." This boy was actually hoping he'd be able to take Squeakers away in a little bit without the ball of fluff being all depressed that he had to leave Pixie. "They are? Well, I guess he's Mr. Squeakers now."

A large grinned formed onto his face when he felt her lips touch his cheek. "A cupcake? I always have a cupcake on me." He opened his messenger bag, which was on his shoulder, and pulled out a little plastic box that was holding a cupcake; however, he didn't hand it over to her. "Why?" It was the last one he had left until he got back to the kitchens to get more.

"I'm not complaining." Yet.

Amelia blushed slightly when he kissed her cheek again. "I love you too."

And she really liked watching Pixie and Squeakers bounce around and have a conversation together. But that didn't stop her from snatching the Pygmy Puff into her arms again when she gave another bounce. "Yes, they are friends. But Mr. Squeakers is not making Pixie a mummy."

*SQUEAK SQUEAK*

"I'm sorry, girl, but I can't stay much longer." And unfortunately there would be no more tour of the castle as she was hungry now.

She eyed the cupcake Zayden was holding. "We're hungry." Indicating her and Pixie. "Please?" She gave him her puppy dog expression.

"Good boy."

"I love you mo--"

Zayden was cut short of his sentence when Squeakers went absolutely ballistic when Pixie had been picked up. He continued squeaking and bouncing all over the place, and the Slytherin had no idea how to calm him down. "I'm sure he doesn't want to be a daddy." He sat his cupcake box down before going to pick up his ball of fluff now, but he was bouncing too much for him to get a good grip on it. "Did you HAVE to take her away? He's missing his frii -- HA! GOTCHA!" He finally got a hold on his pet now.

*SQUEAAAAAAAK SQUEAAAK*

"It's hard to hold him." Squeakers just kept squirming and trying to bounce right out of his hands.

He looked over at the cupcake tray that was on the ground now then he looked back at Mia. "Just because I love you more than anything, I'll let you have it." Usually, he wasn't much of a giving person when it came to cupcakes... or any food for that matter. This boy loved his food.

Amelia had a harder time than ever keeping Pixie in her hands as Squeakers went crazy.

*SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK*

"The hormones are all in the air now." Clearly, by the way they were acting This surely couldn't be their true mating habits though... unless Squeaker was making high-pitched sounds that they couldn't hear. "You don't know that! But I had to. I need to eat." She pouted. She was hungry.

"Thanks, baby." Somehow she managed to give him a kiss while holding on to Pixie. She cupped the Puff protectively and then took the cupcake. "I'll be meeting you in our spot after I eat." She winked at him before walking off.

If he was smart, he would meet her there.

Sierra hurried down the first floor corridor. Why? Oh, it might have something to do with the fact that this was the very last part of her Transfiguration homework, and then she could turn it in and be done. Done, done, done! She just couldn't help but smile. The next best thing to receiving house points was being done with your homework. At least according to Sierra.

She came to a skidding halt and glanced around the area. She should really just throw these flowers off to the side and be done with it. Why did she care, anyway, where they ended up? The castle was the same to her decorated as it was plain. For some reason, though, she decided to put up a small effort. She peered around the area as she looked for a good spot to put her vase. Finally, she saw a lone statue looking rather dark and bland. She headed right on over, placed the vase at its feet, then headed off.

Exiting the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Kurumi made her way to the first floor corridor where she sort of expect to see something that would give her a hint as to where things were...but when she arrived she was very disappointed to see that nothing was different. Nothing at all. *sigh*

Wand out, Kurumi sort of poked at random stones in the wall as she had once done to get into Diagon Alley. She should have figured that nothing would happen. Scrunching her face up a bit, Kurumi twirled her wand between her fingers Kurumi surveyed the area. Well, there really was no other way to go around this, was there? She was just going to have to start casting spells and hope that it hit something.

Just then, Kurumi heard a noise and her head snapped around to see some random crates that contained empty potions vials topple over. AHA! Flourishing her wand for a movement, Kurumi traced a circle over head and made a sharp downwards movement towards the crates. "Verdimillious."

Thankfully, the proper colored orb appeared easily this time and shot out of her wand until...*SMACK* It hit something and just like a house elf popping into the Great Hall, a red colored rabbit plusie appeared, ramming itself against the crate over and over again. Thank goodness that it had been moving! That made it easier. It would be nice if everything else moved too...

Skipping over, Kurumi plucked the plushie up from the ground and tucked it under her arm since it was too big to fit in her pocket.

Daichi had decided to go to the first floor corridor instead of attacking Mr.Murdoch in class. He liked the man and would never try to use a spell on someone unless he had no choice.

The Slytherin walked through the corridor in the hope that the objects they were to find were visible but it seemed that that wasn't the case. Seeing Kurumi picking up what looked like a Rabbit, he smiled and gave her a thumbs up before he grabbed his wand as well.

His strategy? Just randomly aim and shoot~

Waving his phoenix feather vine wand over his head in circles, Daichi said "Verdimillious!" and quickly looked up to see the green orb of light hovering in circles above him. The Slytherin slashed it downwards and the light traveled throught the corridor and hitting a door on the other side.

As the spell traveled, Daichi looked for any sign of objects and saw a yellow balloon in the corner by the door. But he was a Slytherin and needed to find a green object. But just as he was about to turn away, he saw that beside the yellow balloon was something greenish and then it faded away again.

Raising his wand and circling it above his head. Daichi performed the Verdimillious spell again and this time he aimed...or atleast tried to aim... at the greenish object he had seen a few seconds ago. The spell hit it and Daichi stepped forward to pick it up and saw that it was a lantern.

The moving rabbit plushie seemed to be struggling under her arm, but the prefect was afraid to put it down and have it go walking away somewhere and get lost. The castle WAS very big and she had gotten lost as a first year on several occasions. So, under the arm the red rabbit was staying.

Kurumi caught Daichi's thumbs up and she smiled at him before moving a little further down the corridor. It WOULD be nice if something else would move...and just then something did. Turning around towards the wall where the Gryffindor heard a very loud thud. Could it be another Gryffindor item? That would be nice. Kurumi leaned closer towards the noise when...
*TWACK*Her forehead collided with something and Kurumi fell backwards onto the floor. "Ow...owowow," she mumbled, rubbing her forehead where a large red collision mark had appeared. Had the moving object smacked? Must be Slytherin's moving rabbit, right? Once her eyes stopped rolling, Kurumi pushed herself up off the ground and rolled her shoulders. Right, down to business. Circling over head, Kurumi repeated the rest of the wand movement. "Verdimillious."

To her surprise, there wasn't a green illuminated by the glow of her orb, but a yellow one. Figures. The orb moved forward more towards the wall, revealing the location of something blue that resembled a small box, and then finally showed Kurumi what it was she had just run into. Protruding from the wall was a large red key that had been slightly jostled from the 90 degree angle it had been at when the activity started. Merlin, she must have hit that thing rather hard. Stumbling towards the key, seeing as she was just a tad disoriented still, Kurumi pulled on the key with all the strength she had in her thin arms until it came free from the wall.

This time, the key was small enough to fit in her pocket...but just barely and the top half of it stuck out of her pocket, weighing her robes down.

With the green lantern tucked under his arm, Daichi walked back to the middle of the corridor and was hoping he would bump in to something invisble. But as he walked, he somehow managed to not hit anything and with a loud sigh he grabbed his wand again when...

A loud sound came from behind him and when he turned to look in curiousity he saw Kurumi on the floor and rubbing her forehead. "Kurumi?! Are you okay?!" he shouted from the other side of the room but it seemed she had already gotten back up on her feet.

Turning his attention back to the task at hand when he was sure the Gryffindor was fine and circled his own wand above his head. "Verdimillious!" he shouted and slashed his wand in a downwards motion to one of the windows in the corridor. Light from outside was shining in and the green orb made it look like the air was twinkling in the soft sun under the window.

But it hadn't been the air twinkling. It was something else. Daichi lowered his wand and stepped towards the what he thought was an object when he hit hit arm against something invisible. "Oww.!" He shouted and rubbed his arm. That hurt! But it was still invisible so he would come back later , he would first see what the object near the window was.

Standing in front of the window, Daichi bend down and the spell had died out again. Raising his wand , he said "Verdimillious!" while circling it above his head and aimed it in front of him. He had been right! There was a green object under the window~

Picking up the green whistle that he first thought to be a twinkling object from the sun and pocketed in his robes.

Ira came out of the DADA classroom, and ventured out into the corridor where the activity was supposed to take place. It seemed like Kurumi and Daichi had already started the activity..

Grinning at them, she too joined them in the hunt for the surprise things. They could keep the things that found with themselves, right? Weel, if the things were what she liked, then she was definitely asking or demanding Professor Romanos to keep them.

But first she had to at least find them! So, waving her wand over her head in circles, she muttered the incantation, "Verdimillious!" and aiming her wand at... somewhere. She was just going to aim and shoot anywhere. Maybe she could get lucky.

Her green orb appeared and travelled down the corridor and bounced off the wall. So nothing this time. But she tried again, moving a bit further away into the corridor. And performed the spell again. "Verdimillious!", she said, waving her wand in a circle and throwing the orb towards the opposite wall, near the pillars. The orb sort of sank down there and she could see something red. There was something! She had found something!!!

"Yayy!!" Saying so, she went to the pillar and looked at what she had found! Wow! It was a red teddy bear!! And it was soo cute!!

After playing with it for a few moments, she resumed the activity.

Amelia wasn't sure why she was disappointed when she came to the corridor and fund nothing had changed. Obviously the objects would all be hidden, so it would be expected... but still she supposed she had wanted a bit of a clue. Though this did sort of remind her of the scavenger hunt they did in the Chamber of Secrets, and that had been fun.

Touching the walls for a bit, she then determined that they wouldn't give any clues. Which was also to be expected. "Right, time to randomly throw the spell in random places." This should be fun: blind spells going everywhere. o_O

Focusing on a random spot where there was no one to get in her way Amelia raised her wand over her head and made a circular motion, "Verdimillious!" She slashed down towards the wall, and sent her green orb towards... nothing.

Not in the least bit affected by that, she turned her gaze a little bit to the right of her last hit and tied again. "Verdimillious!" This time her orb settled on something yellow. YAY! She had found something for her House!

Excitedly she went to check and see what it was.

A Hufflepuff yellow teddy bear. Picking it up, Amelia went to try her luck with the spell again.

"I-I-I'm alright," she called over her shoulder to Daichi. "You be careful though." Because there was no telling what might be right in front of your face in this activity.

Kurumi was having a hard time juggling the protesting rabbit plushie under her one arm and the giant key in the opposite side's pocket. Why did these things have to be so big? Couldn't they just go searching for chocolate frogs? Wait, no, scratch that. Kurumi wanted nothing to do with chocolate frogs still thanks to that one Charms lesson. So, no, she was actually happy that they were not looking for hordes of chocolate frogs. Good call, Professor Romanos. Good call.

Glancing over her shoulder, Kurumi spotted one of her favorite little lions, Ira, ... playing with the teddy bear that she had found? "Psst, Ira," she whispered. But just then the younger girl stopped playing with the teddy bear and Kurumi felt that what she was going to say was no long valid. "Hey, good job." That was only slightly awkward. Hehe.

Twirling her wand in her free hand and scooting the rabbit that was slipping back under her arm, Kurumi once again drew a circle in the air and followed it with a downward slash. "Verdimillious." The spell was coming to the Gryffindor easier now, but just because the green orb flew forward didn't mean that it was actually being helpful as well. There was something green, two somethings green actually, but not what she was looking for. Kurumi walked forward, following the path of the orb until...she stumbled over something on the floor and nearly lost her balance. What?

Turning around, Kurumi repeated the wand movement and watched as the orb hovered over two objects. One, the one she had tripped over, was a blue lantern, but the other, well, the other was one she wanted. Smiling, Kurumi knelt down and picked up the sugar quills and placed them in her pocket with the key. She should have brought her bag with her....she was starting to look like a pack rat...or a niffler...

Amelia carefully set the teddy bear down by her feet so that it wouldn't get in the way of her second attempt at the spell. This time, she turned her gaze to the opposite side of the wall than she had last time. Fingers crossed that she wouldn't uncover an object from one of the other three Houses.

Eyes focused on her target, Amelia raised her wand over her head. "Verdimillious!" she said again as she made the circular motion. The green orb that came out of her wand was sent towards the wall where it hit something and turned green. Okay, she managed to get it on her first attempt and uncovered something for Slytherin. D:

This time she turned a little more to the left before sending another, "Verdimillious!" This time the hidden object was yellow! Wow, her second hits were turning up Hufflepuff. :/

Walking over to the object, she picked up a large key and pocketed it.

Ira was still playing and cuddling her cute little teddy bear when Kurumi whispered to her. And instantly, she tried to hid the teddy bear behind her back, but then realizing how foolish it looked, she brought it to the front again and grinned. Good job? "Gee.. thanks Kurumi!" Ira replied to the Lion prefect.

And now it was time to get back to the activity. Ira looked around wondering where else the articles could be kept. But there wasn't really any way to tell that, was there? So she just had to try out her luck!

Tucking her teddy bear under her arm, she tried the spell again. Waving her wand over her head in circles, she muttered the incantation, "Verdimillious!" and aimed her wand at the wall.. The green orb appeared and she threw it and guess what? She again found something! There wa a teddy bear again! Whoa! She was on a teddy bear spree it seemed. But this was the Blue teddy bear. Maybe she could just scoop it up and hide it in her bag? No? She really didn't want to get into any trouble. SO she just left it where it was.

And she tried again. She aimed her orb along the corridor, on the parapet.. And yes, there was something. But she didn't exactly see what it was. So she performed the spell again. She waved her wand over her head in circles and muttered, "Verdimillious!" and threw the green orb that appeared back at the same place.

Yes! There was a red wand! Of course Ira assumed that it was a fake wand. "Yipee!! My second object!!" She squealed.

Key safely in her pocket, Amelia went back to the teddy bear and started walking further along the corridor. She was going to try a different area of the hallway than she had tried the first two times.

Finally landing on a spot, she placed the teddy bear back down again and focused on a spot on the wall. She repeated the circular motion over her head while saying, "Verdimillious!" She then sent the green orb shooting from her wand and towards the wall.

Nothing.

So she tried again. Again. And again. And again and again and again.

"Verdimillious!" ... "Verdimillious!" ... "Verdimillious" ... "Verdimillious!"

With each attempt she was hopeful as the green orb flew from her wand, but then disappointed when she didn't turn up anything.

One last try, and she made the circular movement over her head. "Verdimillious!" She sent the green orb flying, and finally hit a yellow object.

"I found a sneakoscope!" she called out upon inspection. She pocketed that one as well.

Ira kept the fake wand she had found earlier into her holster and continued to look for other items. Wonder what she would be finding now?

She walked along the parapet, noticing that it was a rather convenient place to keep things. So she decided to target that area. So she raised her wand over her head. "Verdimillious!" she said again as she made the circular motion. She threw the green orb that came, towards the parapet. But before it could hit the object, if it was there, it sort of fizzed out. So that meant her spell had been weak. So she tried again.

She once again waved her wand over her head in a circle and muttered, "Verdimillious!" and this time a brighter orb appeared, as she had focused a bit more. She threw it and it did strike something soft and elastic. Ira wondered what it was.

She cast the spell again, but this time the object wasn't there. Where did it go? She tried again and this time, the orb just sort of touched the red object. So that meant that the object was hanging and wasn't steady. So she was ready to catch whatever it was and then cast the spell again. And caught it. All she could catch was a string. But it was a string of a red balloon!

Woo-hoo! She had found another object! But now she wondered how to hold the balloon. So finally she tied off the string of her balloon to the paw of her teddy-bear and moved on.

Be careful...

He had needed that warning a little earlier. His arm still hurt a bit and after picking up the whistle he turned to find the invisible thing he had hit earlier. With outstretched arms he walked through the corridor. Slowly and touching in mid air as if he was a zombie.

Coming near the place he had hurt himself , his fingers suddenly touched something that wasn't there and he smiled. Grabbing his phoenix wand, he circled it above his head , shouted "verdimillious!" and slashed it down. Green light from the orb flew towards the invisible thing and lit it up.

A yellow sneakoscope...

Great. Not the thing he needed. Still holding his wand in his hand, Daichi turned to the wall and pressed his hand on it. Sliding it along the wall, he was halfway down the corridor when his hand didn't touch the brick wall anymore but was sliding over it smoothly in the air.

"Verdimillious!" he shouted after circling his wand and slashed it in a downwards fashion again. The light from the orb illuminated the object and the Slytherin jumped in shock as he saw it was a grindylow. Heartbeat racing, his breath turned quicker and then he realized it was a plushie.

Laughing nervously to himself, Daichi took the plushed grindylow that hovered on the wall and tucked it under his arm with the lantern.
