Archie nodded. "I know the feeling. I miss my cousins a lot. I'm the youngest by seven years, but they look out for me and stuff. Writing isn't the same as them taking me out, you know?" And being spoilt by them. Especially that part.

Archie watched Silas take his hand away, and bit his lip. He didn't mean to seem anxious about it - he just wasn't used to it. Reassurance usually came through a pat on the head, given Archie's small stature compared to the rest of the family. "It would. But it wouldn't be the worst I've come across." Oh no. Rude girl from Diagon Alley had easily won that accolade.

He hadn't meant to make Silas ears red. He had done that, hadn't he? By mentioning the girly thing. Archie had better trying to make him feel better, not worse. Sighs. "I know! He can do all these really cool tricks. He tried teaching me, but I don't think I'm balanced enough to try fancy stuff yet." He could kick along okay, but not much more. He'd made better progress on learning Wizarding Chess from his cousin, but mainly because it made his uncle happy too, and Archie liked the attention.

Munching away on his cookie, Archie gestured that his new friend should take as many as he wanted. "What's chap stick?" Sounded very refined to Archie, like the sort of thing a gentleman with a pipe would use, a tumbler of drink in hand. How cool! And Silas' wide smile was easily reciprocated. "Awesome. Auntie loves making me cookies. What's your favourite flavour?" He could ask in his letter at the weekend.

"The clouds? Yeah, sounds fun," Archie replied, already rearranging cushions next to Silas. He hadn't made cloud pictures with a friend before. How exciting!

Good superheroes had to be somewhat sneaky.

It was true.

It was exactly why Clark Kent changed in a phone booth. Why Bruce Wayne put on a voice to disguise his own. Why the newly turned 13 year old Kyroh Scabior was peaking out of the treehouse window to catch a glimpse of any OTHER superheros that were on their way or climbing the latter to the party.

The treehouse had had been somewhat transformed. Beanbags pushed to the sides and a table added in (thanks to the house elves) topped with with cupcakes, crisps, drinks, AND of course bowls (also thanks to the house elves) . Large bowls. And spoons. Though no ice cream in sight.

Kyroh's favourite and a classic rock song thumped in the background. And a sign was taped to the entrance reading:

Quote:

Real Superheros don't reveal their real identities.

Yup. It was party time. And Spiderman was more than ready.

Every good superhero needed a nemesis and Maddie found villains more interesting anyway. This is why the thirteen year old was dressed as Catwoman, a costume the birthday boy had helped her put together. Speaking of, she had his gift in hand. The one she'd been saving up for and Merlin had she gone to a lot of trouble to get it. Brothers had been involved, JUST saying. Hopefully he'd be happy when he opened it.

The brunette heard the music loud and clear as she made her way up and into the treehouse and she stopped JUST long enough to read the sign on the entrance before she entered, hand on hip and full of confidence as Catwoman would.

"Birthday boy," She grinned, not at all surprised by his getup. "You look puuurfect." Geddit? Nigel would be proud.

Thornton was nerrrrvous. This was his first, proper, not adult-heavy birthday party. And he had no idea what to expect, especially given that there was a theme. He'd never dressed up - Halloween had been a shock and then History of Magic just added to it - and superheroes were completely foreign to him.

So he'd hit the muggle studies section of the library.

He'd had no idea there were so many!! He'd gone back and forth about who he could be and what sort of costume he could manage without buying something or destroying something, either of which would sorely disappoint his parents. So being anyone recognizable was out of the question.

Arriving at the party, Thornton had a piece of purple cloth with two eye holes cut out, tied round his head, an extra large yellow towel tied round his neck like a cape, his winter gloves and boots, and a paper lightening bolt taped to the front of his purple teeshirt.

Entering the treehouse timidly, Thornton looked around. Superheros don't reveal their real identities Huh. Maybe no one would know it was him...

Soph was all set to arrive to the party as early as she could with every hope that she beat Tobes there so that HER superhero costume choice would be a surprise to him.

Because, well, she was dressed as one Tobias Tempus. Again.

Soph knew well enough that Toby was probably the closest thing to a real life superhero Kyroh had ever met, so she chose to borrow without asking some of her boyfriend's things once again to complete her outfit - his skateboard, his actual pants, and a hoodie with Tempus sprawled across the back. Her hair was wrapped in a tight bun on her head, hidden under a yellow beanie, then she had her own Hufflepuff scarf wrapped around her neck and she had changed her eye color to blue for the day. From afar, she was pretty certain she looked well enough like him.

Tobias!Soph made her way up the ladder of the treehouse, a wrapped gift in one hand, the skateboard under her arm, and was... a bit marveled to see what Kyroh had done with the place. Merlin. Had the groundskeeper helped with this?

"Happy birthday, Ky," she grinned at the sight of the boy in his costume and offered him a hug despite her arms being full - Catwoman!Maddie got a grin, too, followed by, "Y'both look great." Because they did, didn't they? And way too cute. Little Thornton over there - looking far too uncomfortable to be there, and so well-masked that she didn't even know who he was - got a little wave, too. Poor fella.

Dante only knew a couple superheroes. Not much. There was the one that his brother liked, Batman. So yeah. Dante decided to come as Batman. You did not really have a secret identity as Quailman as your face is showing. Same with the Tick. Also Kyroh was Spiderman. So he chose well in the end. And that was about all his knowledge in super heroes.

So since he was here as Batman after all. Dante decided to sneak up on Kyroh and Maddie. Just like Batman, he got behind them

"Happy Birthday Kyroh and Hi Maddie"

He did not know the older girl in the treehouse. Though it was obvious it was Thornton in the purple mask.

SPOTTED!! SUPER VILLAIN COMING TO ATTACK!!!!! Or, y'know. To party. This was a party that accepted EVERYONE though, heroes and villains alike so no attacking.

Plus- Catwoman totally could get away with it since she was one of his best friends after all. As Maddie entered the treehouse, Kyroh held his hand out READY TO ATTACK! But he didn't because that would be silly. Instead of fit of giggles escaped his lips. Puuuuurfect. "Thank you! You don't look too bad yourself." Catwoman got a wink, cause y'know that was TOTALLY what Peter Parker himself would do.

'Course Catwoman's entrance distracted him from the other people arriving. Noticing a small figure at the door Kyroh waved at him to come IN. LOOK! Nudging Maddie with his arm he leaned in closer to whisper to her. "That's the guy who helped Dima and I break into your room. He's awesome!" And a new friend. New friend Thornton- or wait noon. "I know who you are! Flash! Wait no-Captain Marvel Jr-NONO! Static Shock!" Yeah? Right or wrong? Either WAY it looked like the boy had made his costume from scratch and that was supercool. Get it?

And SOPHIE was here too or.....Tempus......Toby. Sophie was Toby. An explosion of giggles escaped his mouth as Sophie opened her arms up for a hug. Running over he wrapped his arms around her, and was able to take a long enough break in between the giggles to actually form words."THANK YOU TOBY" He had JUST let go when someone snuck up behind him and took his attention away from Sop-Toby.

BATMAN!

Dundundun. "HI!....I think you gotta run Catwoman."

Hayden had never met Kyroh before. Wasn't he one of Maddie's friends? That sounded about right. She was pretty sure he was a Ravenclaw. She'd seen him around, and he seemed like the kind of person she'd like to be friends with, but she'd never gotten a chance to talk to him. So she was surprised when she'd gotten invited to his birthday party, but she was excited. Hayden loved birthdays! She'd even brought alone a present - a small box wrapped in blue paper and tied with a silver bow. She couldn't go to a birthday party without a present.

Hayden didn't have any superhero costumes, and she didn't know enough about them to make one on her own. So she'd done what she could with what she had. She dressed in all black and put on a ninja mask, because she had one of those. Ninjas weren't superheros but they were cool, and it was better than coming without a costume, right? Hopefully it would be okay with Kyroh. Hayden arrived at the treehouse with a cheerful smile on her face. She was really excited for the birthday party. She climbed all the way up and finally came to the room Kyroh had set up.

"Happy Birthday!" She directed that toward the boy to whom the others had also wished a happy birthday. The boy will all the freckles, like her. The boy who must be Kyroh. "Hello everybody." Of the people there, she only really knew Maddie, but she loved meeting new people too.

Maggie had taken forever to figure out what to wear. FOREVER. She'd even written to one of her childhood friends for help, seeing as she had no idea what kind of superheroes were cool. Or, which superheroes EXISTED you know. But unfortunately Dave had failed to reply. Maybe he didn't know what to do with the owl. Or how to reach her. Or that Marigold girl hadn't even sent her letter and had LIED TO HER.

Anyway, she didn't know what to wear so she'd just chosen something at random.

A flower princess to be exact. Great costume, huh? Maggie certainly thought so and was on her way over to the treehouse now. Owning the costume. That's what it was all about. Yep. Not that people were able to SEE her costume right now. Because she was carrying a GIANT DRAGON-SHAPED PIÑATA. Yep. She was pretty awesome, huh? Yes. Because hitting things was awesome.

"Kyrooooh." Hello yes she was here. Could somebody maybe help her with this thing? Yes?

Maddie grinned at Kyroh's wink, winking back because it seemed like the right thing to do. She then very casually thrust her gift at him. It was in a blue gift bag. Egyptian blue to be exact. Maddie's favorite color of the day and one that went with Kyroh's name quite nicely, she thought. He could open it later, no worries.

Oh so THAT was the little accomplice who'd helped them decorate her dorm in ALL things girly. The brunette eyed the younger boy-Thorton, right?- curiously and then smiled a little at him. If he was willing to help her f-words, he couldn't be THAT bad. "Maybe he made up his OWN superhero." Because the color scheme was a bit off for some of Kyroh's guesses, right?

Sophie really DID look like Toby and Maddie was amused. Had she STOLEN those things or were they given willingly? She'd have to wait and see the boy's reaction when he arrived, right? It'd be fun to watch at the very least, especially if it was a surprise. "Hogwarts very own superhero. I like it." It was different and different was good.

"Oh I don't think I'll be running from anyone, Spiderman." Catwoman wasn't afraid of Batman. Not even a little. She smiled too because Little Barrington got to be her accessory for the night, okay? He could just follow her around if he wanted as he was a great living prop for the look she was going for. "Hello Batman." Hi.

Hayden was here. Maddie was happy Kyroh had invited the badger because she was okay as far as Hufflepuffs went and the brunette enjoyed her company, mostly. "Hi." The girl got a wave and a smile from catwoman before the latter asked what she was wondering, "Who're you supposed to be?"

Anddddd...Lena Maggie was a flower princess or a ballerina or something OTHER than a superhero. Of course she was. Maddie raised her eyebrows but that was all because the younger girl had brought a dragon pinata and that would SURELY make her best f-word happy. She could stay then, she guessed.

The hardest part about today was choosing a favourite superhero to dress up as. Toby, as a rule, tended to not really play favourites all that much (though he did technically have a lot of favourites, only seldom admitted it), so he had a huge choice over who to dress up as today.

Eventually, he'd gone with Thor, because it sort of pertained back to Ancient Runes (a class he did pretty well in), AND because it was gonna look kinda funny. Thor was this BIIIIIG BULKY superhero, super strong and practically a giant compared to the 5'3", slim-built Toby. It would ALMOST be like dressing up as Javy or something. Almost.

So it probably looked hilarious, when the Toby turned up at the Treehouse in his Thor costume. He wore his black slim-fit jeans, the boots he'd worn on the Greece trip over the summer, and a special t-shirt (which may or may not have been another contributing factor when deciding who to dress up as). And, of course, who could forget the red cape he had acquired (read: been sent by his grandma) which had flown out behind him awesomely in the breeze on his way here. On Toby's head, he wore what could only be described as a metal bowl with little parchment 'wings' Spellotaped onto the sides. He'd borrowed the bowl from the kitchens, and was fully intending to return it later.

Aside from the actual costume itself, Toby had gone THE WHOLE HOG and found a way to charm his floppy-ish hair BLOND for the event. It was............ very weird, but hEY, getting into character was going on. Glendower would be proud.

The Hufflepuff ascended the ladder to the treehouse, having JUST A FEW MINOR DIFFICULTIES because of the cape and the fact he was holding a hand-crafted Mjolnir in one hand and had Kyroh's present tucked under his other arm. BUT HE MADE IT. He was UP the ladder and AT the partay.

"GREETINGS!" Toby!Thor called out, attempting to do the booming voice thing and totally failing. He was but a small yet ferocious badger.

Wait, was that.........

......................

.................

............

...... Sophie pls.

Dot's handle on superheroes was limited, but she knew how to do research and she knew how to make clothes out of other clothes. It actually wasn't very hard to turn one of her old dresses into a nifty little Batgirl costume, complete with bat emblem on it. She even got to wear her hair down, red curls spilling from her cowl, since it wasn't dead giveaway hair with this costume.

Batgirl in a Cowl. And Cape. Rawr. Or no... what sound did bats make? Screechy screechy?

She posed dramatically after climbing the treehouse ladder. "This city needs a... birthday boy hero." Hand on hips, feet planted, chin up. Screechy screechy!

Zander Adair walked, wait no no. SUPERMAN, walked towards the treehouse with an extra wide SUPER GRIN. He was happy. See the past week had been rather horrible. Actually, extremely horrible. One may even say, SUPER horrible. It was just bad. All darn right bad. So when he got the invitation to come celebrate Kyroh's birthday he couldn't help but be all excited about it! AND THE THEME WAS MADE FOR HIM!! He finally had some good use for the superman costume that he kept in his trunk for emergencies.

Pft. He wasn't like obsessed with Superman. Or the comics. Hah. No. Not obsessed. Just kind of a little bit, SUPER obsessed. Which is why he put all his time and energy the past few days to make the perfect present. He just needed a good distraction, and this was a SUPER great one. Carrying the two small packages in his hands, he climbed up the treehouse. See, he would've been totally at a loss of where they were doing this whole thing, 'cept for the fact that he could hear the music.

Spotting Kyroh near the center of the room, the Gryffindor almost ran towards him. Almost though. Almost. Superman didn't run, HE FLEW. Except Zander was bad at the broomstick thing. So he just walked, but if given the ability he would've definitely flied because superman is AWESOME! Right, then. Ahem. A huge smile took up his face as he walked up to the second year and waved. Could he tell that this was going to be the best day Zander had in weeks? Could he? "Hi, Kyroh! Happy birthday!" and with that, he held out the two packages.

The were made special for him. One being the best distraction ever because it took a pretty long time to make. It was a comic book that Zander made with his own hands! Using crayons and everything!! Except, he wasn't really a good draw-er but... It made him proud okay? And the second, being the real gift. It was one of his favorite comics of all time!! The fourth year had already read it a million and three times himself, so might as well pass it on to the next person, youknow?

Was Noel late? He probably was, because look at all the people dressed in colors of he heroes. So he had been right, this party needed a SUPER VILLAIN. Dressed as Magneto, the thirteen year old followed Superman!Zander into the tree house.

"Nice tights, guys" Noel commented to both Kyroh and Zander - grin in place. "Happy Birthday, mate!" he said, pulling out a neatly wrapped package and holding out for the ravenclaw to take. "By the way, nice party"

Oh look, was that catwoman? No it was Maddie! Noel had to REALLY hold himself back for this one. "Uh - Hi," he simply said, grinning. "Cool costume," he was gonna say just that, yep.

Noticing the Slytherin girl he had met near the points glass. What was she? Flower girl? Was there a superhero like that? "Ms Traulton, what are you suppose to be?" he asked, reallly curious.

When her head was on his shoulder, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and reached a little for her hand even though it was properly out of reach. Linc hoped that she would realise that he was reaching for her hand and move it so he could at least lace his fingers with hers. "I think this might be my favourite view here, you know? I like the one from our tower, but...this is... I don't know. Different. Nice." It was more like home for him, he felt. And he was so used to being outdoors and seeing the grounds was the best part. He was able to play football here and slightly forget that he wasn't in Manchester and didn't have a four year old running around after him.

He missed Flynn.

"I think you should come sit in my lap and mess my hair up and tell me all the good things about my attractive Darcy face. I think that's what a good date involves." His ego liked it too.

Lincoln Darcy was making grabby hands for her hand so she moved her arm a little, offering up her hand to his grabby hand. She rubbed her cheek against his shoulder, hoping that they weren't too pink from the chill."Cause maybe it makes you think about home?" She was guessing that because that was the way she felt. She could almost pretend she was in her own tree house if she didn't look out. "Do you think our families miss us being home as much as we miss being home?" She wasn't sure things were too much different at her house, really, with her parents being gone a lot anyway.

"I think you need to sit before I can sit on your lap." Was that allowed here? There wasn't anything wrong with sitting on her boyfriend's lap, right?

Whoa, now a lot of people where showing up that he did not know. Not that he cared just this will mean standing in a corner or just eating. Oh, no running from Cat-woman. Though Cats do what they want. "Hello Catwoman. Purfect costume, right there" Oh little puns. They are amusing.

And was that Maggie behind that giant pinata. Wow, hold the cauldron. A GIANT DRAGON PINATA."

That was AWESOME!!

Though it did look a little too big for her and he was Batman at this party. So..."You need some help with that Maggie?" But he did not know who Dot was dressing up as. He got the bat part. "Batwoman?" Or was there such thing as a batgirl. Did that mean there was a batboy as well.

A whole bat family.

First there was nothing in front of him, and then there was a pretty blue bag basically thrown at him. Kyroh glanced at it, confused for a second. "You didn't have to get me anything!" Y'know? She had helped him plan the party after all. "But thank you." And Maddie got a hug. Whether she liked it or NOT.

Own made up superhero Thornton huh? "If he made up his own that's even cooler then!" Like his own alter ego, Kymazing!! But 'course Spiderman was a number one, so sorry Kymazing.

Everyone was just coming at once! Which was awesome because that meant MORE PEOPLE PARTY YEAH! But it also meant there was an extreme lack of security which was super bad considering the fact that they were all meant to save the world and stuff.

"Thank you!" Kyroh said happily, beaming at the red head who had entered-Hayden! She was Maddie's friend but he had worked with her back when they were building the fire pit and she seemed super nice so YEAH! Ninja Hayden? He would have said MORE but THEN THERE WAS A PIÑATA! WHATWHAT DRAAAAGON!!!! Instantly the thirteen year old hopped over to the pink-pinky-pink-totally-not-a-super-hero-person and HUGGED her! PIÑATA!! He didn't even want the candy, or care about it was just cool cause dragon and ROAR and-"HI." YEAH! He had to add that. Only after he let go of her though of course.

Then THOR HIMSELF ENTERED with BATGIRL right behind him! But Thor wasn't wasn't Toby obviously. Toby was over there with the skateboard. Kyroh forced himself not to start giggling again.

.....And it failed. So he just pointed to TOBY and giggled before drapping his arm around Dot's shoulders. "And Gotham city probably need's more protection since all the Bat people are gone." Ooops. His mistake hehe. Turning as Zander entered the treehouse Kyroh's eyes immediately fell on the wrapped items in his hands.

Wait...actually...more gifts?

He got MORE GIFTS??! His eyes flickered around all over. YEAH OTHER PEOPLE HAD GIFTS FOR HIM TOO!!!

Man. He had to throw a party every year! "Thanks Superman!! Can you help me get the DRAGON piñata up??" He didn't want to hurt the dragon or anything but it was fake. And now the TOP THREE were here! Batman, Superman and Spiderman!! Whatever bad guy decided to enter hear was DONE FOR.

....Thaaat meant you Magneto. "Guys can wear tights too!" Right Dot-er Batgirl? Right? Yeah? He poked his friend, before whispering. "Magento is evil we might have to get him right before the party ends!"

Noooothing to see here!!!

What was THAT? she had in her hands? Hmm?

Oh, nothing. Just tower of mini cupcakes. The PERKS of having made friends with Cat meant that she knew how to make food now. Well... Bake... Sorta. It was definitely not as good as Cat's though. She tasted some and threw out the bad ones. So she had proof.

She wasn't really properly dressed up. Not in her own terms. 'Cause this was sort of an outfit she'd wear out around the castle if she felt like it. She was Minnie Mouse, okay? In her own terms, obviously. She wore a cute little red dress with white polka dots, which she'd added on earlier after looking through a few spells, white pantyhose, black mary janes, white gloves and obviously the minnie ears with the cute little red bow and some pretty red lipstick. And that was that. All set.

And y'know what was the best part about this dress? THE CUTE POCKETS. They were good for storing things. Like presents.

The ideas that Jasmine was coming up with were all really good, and Lux appreciated the assistance from her friend. "Thanks, I think I will try that! Oh, and maybe put a notice up on the bulletin board." She wasn't an amazing artist by any means but surely she could come up with some kind of poster as an advertisement. She would also need to work on her skills as manicurist, she thought to herself as she finished painting Jasmine's nails and used Ventus to dry them.

"I'm totally feeling the same way about a tattoo! Maybe the mood will suddenly strike like it did with the navel piercing. Actually, Cinna asked me if I wanted to go with her to get one and I jumped at the idea." Which wasn't very usual for her; Lux was generally a lot less wild than Cinna and Cinna wasn't even that wild to begin with. "Oh, I am terrified of heights generally. But this tree house doesn't bother me and neither does Bay's." Some of them were a problem; the ones that didn't feel sturdy.

SPOILER!!: Sooooooooooooophie

Soph knew well enough that Toby was probably the closest thing to a real life superhero Kyroh had ever met, so she chose to borrow without asking some of her boyfriend's things once again to complete her outfit - his skateboard, his actual pants, and a hoodie with Tempus sprawled across the back.

Tobias!Soph made her way up the ladder of the treehouse, a wrapped gift in one hand, the skateboard under her arm, and was... a bit marveled to see what Kyroh had done with the place. Merlin. Had the groundskeeper helped with this?

"Happy birthday, Ky," she grinned at the sight of the boy in his costume and offered him a hug despite her arms being full - Catwoman!Maddie got a grin, too, followed by, "Y'both look great." Because they did, didn't they? And way too cute. Little Thornton over there - looking far too uncomfortable to be there, and so well-masked that she didn't even know who he was - got a little wave, too. Poor fella.

Gliding and swirling with the breeze, a very unique piece of folded parchment descended from the Astronomy Tower towards the tree house "looking" for for a certain someone. "Looking" being used figuratively since the parchment had not been transfigured and charmed to have eyes, of course. The parchment had slammed itself into the side of the tree house in its pathetic attempts to glide through the window, so the front was a bit dent in places, but it eventually found its way inside and swirled through the air until it crashed into the chest of its intended recipient.

Crashed and stuck to the hoodie she was wearing.

Were she to pluck it from her clothes, the parchment would unfold itself to reveal a letter.

SPOILER!!: leeeeeeeeeeetter

Dot spun a little, making her skirt flutter in a way that made her quite happy to be a superhero for the day. The heavy uniform skirts never fluttered like this. When Dark Dante asked her about her costume, though, she stopped spinning and put her hands back on her hips. Chin back in the air. "Batgirl, actually. Dark as night and twice as pretty. Screechy screechy." She'd have to work on her tagline.

And then there was the birthday boy himself, draping his arm around her shoulders like they were co-conspirators. What were they conspiring about? Hmm?

"Gotham City's okay for a little white, I think. I'm not worried. I have..." She had a card for him, with some very cool temporary dragon tattoos she'd ordered through owl mail. But it wasn't a pinata or in a big box, and she felt kinda dumb. Dot shoved the card at Kyroh and mumbled something about birthdays and happy things.

"I brought rope." That was helpful, right? "We can tie up all the bad guys with it."

While they were hanging up the pinata, though, Dot inched over toward the older girl who wasn't really... a superhero, but at least she had ears on. That was in the spirit of costumes, right? "I like your dress."

The Darcy laced their fingers together, and placed a safe kiss on her cheek. "Maybe. I think I like seeing the grounds and watching people from up here without having to talk to them. I like watching people walk on their own. They pull rather extraordinary faces, you know?" She probably did, because when he was thinking he pulled the funniest of them all. Followed closely by her funny faces. A funny faced pair, they were. "I think Flynn misses me more than I miss having him around. Tristan says he sleeps in my room sometimes and likes to wear my football kit as a dress." Lincoln would have asked her the exact same question, but he knew her thoughts already. She hoped her parents missed her. And he knew they did. But Rodrigo was always her biggest concern, and in some ways...he was his also.

Linc moved backwards to somewhere they could sit a little more conveniently, and tugged on her arm. "You could always sit next to me if you're worried about cuddling. They can't possibly have a rule against that, can they? A harmless hug? I could be keeping you warm before you die of hypothermia for all they know."

Or something like that.

Zander nodded happily. Hehe. Superman. If only he could dress as superman EVERYDAY. He felt totally invincible!! "Yeah, of course!" He was even talking all invincible tooo!! Happily taking the dragon pinata from Kyroh he looked around. "Uh...... where do you want me to put it?" He was the birthday boy after all. And wait a minute, did people put chocolate frogs in pinatas?!!? Important question.
The Gryffindor had heard someone following him, but paying no attention he was completely oblivious to the EVIL that was making it's way to the party place. That is until, nice tights? "Huh?" Turning right as Noel made his way over, Zander couldn't help but smile. "Hey! Every superhero wears them!" He'd know Noel, he was one. He was the best one. Superman!! "They make it easier to fight crime." It probably said that in a comic book somewhere, he'd have to check to make sure, but probably did.

"Nice costume though, 'cept us heros are always on the watch," he warned cause if there was any evil behavior Noel, Superman would have to put an end to it. For the children, you know?



Just as Zander was about to go do some superhero business, CB!!! His mood was only getting better and better! If only the rest of the term could go this well. Maybe if he wore a superman costume things wouldn't be as bad as they were. And she had CUPCAKES! Almost running towards her, almost, he smiled widely. "Hiya CB," his cheeks were a little pink at the thought of thing that had happened months ago. Kiss things. But Superman wouldn't be embarrassed, so neither would he!

Or at least he'd try not to be. But it was only a little pink, okay? Hardly noticeable. Pft. "Do you need any help carrying them?" he looked at the tower. Not that she wasn't fully capable of carrying them herself. But superman would offer right? He was a pretty polite fellow hero. Wasn't he? "Did you bake them yourself?" And yes. Yes, he was impressed.

Isla shook her head in amusement. "You'd be Shakira if you said your hips don't lie." She smiled, gathering up her papers and putting them back into a stack. Of course Isla doubted that Vinnie would ever blackmail her, but she had a best friend before who wouldn't do that and look how that turned out. "I know you wouldn't. I'm just saying." She shrugged, trying not to remember what had happened with her ex best friend.

"Duh! I can't wait to see his face." She laughed, evily. "Which reminds me, I need to go see someone's face. Like right now." She said, checking her glittery pink watch. "Not in a creepy way, I just need to go check on him...for a prank and it's not a guy I like or anything." She said, internally smacking herself.
