| | |  The Aquarium
 You'd never be able to tell that the stone building connected to the Care of Magical Creatures Barn once housed a numerous amount of Fire Crabs. The building, still windowless however, underwent quite the makeover during the summer months, and Professor Newlin is quite pleased with the end results.
Huge tanks line the walls now, and, in some areas of the building, the ceilings as well. And once you enter and venture down those three steps to get a closer look, it may take your eyes just a moment or two to adjust to all the brightly colored coral, plants and rocks inside of them. But once your eyes do adjust, it's not just the coral, plants and rocks that you see.
FISH! Thousands of fish, of all shapes and sizes, muggle and magical alike, are on exhibit inside those tanks. And if there comes a time where you need help identifying a certain species, or if you just want to learn more about them, the colorful fish chart located in front of each tank will be there to guide you. Differentiated by the temperament of the fish, the stone building is made up of three sections. The peaceful fish can be found in the very front, the semi-aggressive fish can be found in the middle, and the aggressive fish can be found in the back.
While all the fish are different from one another, they happen to dislike the same thing. So, please. Do not tap on the glass.

With thoughts of her last summer adventure on her mind, Cece made her way to the Care of Magical Creatures buildings. Sure, the person that was on her mind was no longer the professor there but that didn't matter. She could still think about him as she walked around.
Walking into the new aquarium she looked around in amazement. Wow, Vanora had done an amazing job here she thought as she slowly walked through the aquarium admiring the many different fish. This place just might have to become her new favorite place to hide from students get away for some peace and quiet.

This place just might have to become her new favorite place to hide from students get away for some peace and quiet. If there was one thing about having an aquarium of ginormous size that Vanora hated the most, it was feeding the fish. Not the feeding the fish part, because all fish had to eat and she didn't even want to think about what would happen if they didn't eat. But there was just so much food, and so many fish. How was she supposed to know if they all ate!?
Well.. actually.. she knew how she would tell, but she wasn't going to think about that either! No. She was going to feed all the fish and.. "Cece!" Just the person she wanted to see! And since it didn't looking like her friend was leaving anytime soon, not that she was going to let her because they hadn't had a chance to talk at the opening feast, Vanora moved closer and pushed one of the containers of food into her hand. "While you're here.." She could help.

An aquarium! This was definitely one of the coolest things Jake had ever seen at this school. Or any other. And he couldn't wait to get a look at it.
Holding Anya's hand, Jake entered the aquarium. He stood still for a moment, letting his eyes adjust to the different lighting. When they did, he grinned. "Wow," he breathed. He eyes widened as a fish swam right past his eyes in the tank closest to him.
"Look at that!" He was whispering. This was as cool as that shark in Carter's bathtub. Possibly cooler... because Jake wasn't worried these fish would jump out of their tanks and attack. | |

Anya held Jake's hand as he led her to an aquarium. How did he hear about this anyway? Sure... the barn was cool... but this was amazing, and brilliant, and pretty much the best thing ever! Aquariums were fun. It was like... an underwater walk full of calming fish.
Actually... that's exactly what it was like...
She looked around wondering if the Professor was here. Because... she'd totally love to help out. Or train dolphins.
She hid a giggle as Jake pointed something out. Then she rushed up to the cage wide eyed. "Forget that. LOOK at the CORAL!"
Yeah... she was a fan of bright coral.

Jake followed Anya over to the glass and looked over her shoulder at it. "Pretty," he commented with a small nod. Weren't the fish more interesting, though? Coral didn't do anything. At least fish - "WHOA." ...Swam by your face when you were least expecting it. | |

"You know... there's fish in there." she said still letting out a few giggles.
She turned on the spot and her eyes drifted toward the ceiling. WAIIIIT a second. THERE WERE FISH ON THE CEILING TOO!
She walked ahead a few feet before plopping onto the floor and looking straight up. "One time I went to a zoo and they had one of those tunnel tanks... and... I saw the bottom of a shark!" she excitedly whispered.

What those things were, he had no idea. But Anya noticed and that was all that matters.
There were fish in there. Jake mumbled a reply under his breath, staring into the tank for a moment longer before turning around to look at Anya. Except... she wasn't there. What..?
Oh. Jake blinked away his momentary confusion and joined Anya on the ground. He lay down beside her, resting his hands behind his head. "Yeah?" He asked, turning his head so he could look at her. "Like, a real one? Those really big ones?" | |

"Like, a real one? Those really big ones?" Anya grinned up at the ceiling. She nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah. A real one." she said with a little laugh. She cast him a quick half glance. "It was huge." she confirmed.
"I saw the underbelly of a stingray too. Not as exciting, but, it's cool to feel underwater no matter what you're looking at."
Like now. They were laying underwater! ... or under water if you wanted to be grammatically correct.
"Do you think she's got a Nemo somewhere in here?" Because... all clownfish were called Nemo. It was a fact of life.

"Do you think she's got a Nemo somewhere in here?" Because... all clownfish were called Nemo. It was a fact of life. "Huh," Jake breathed, nodding. Impressive. He'd never seen a real shark like that. It would probably be... kinda scary. They could probably break glass.
...There wasn't any in this aquarium, was there?
Anyway. Jake tore his eyes off the water above them and looked back at the girl beside him as she spoke. He nodded a little in agreement. "It is," he whispered. The whisper surprised him... he hadn't meant to do that. But... oh well. He got his point across. He liked looking at Anya. Under water or not.
What were they talking about now? "...Nemo? Like... Finding?" Clownfish? ... "I saw him in that tank." Point. | |

What were they talking about now? "...Nemo? Like... Finding?" Clownfish? ... "I saw him in that tank." Point. Anya nodded. "It was brilliant. I want to shark cage dive thing sometime. I think it would be fun." And worst case scenario, you get taken out by a shark. Not the worst way to go.
"Oh." she said in a half high pitched squeal. "Really?" she asked. "Did you see any Dora's?" Because... all tropical fish went by their names in Finding Nemo apparently.
She rolled up and crawled over on her knees to the tank. She peered really close to the glass much like a three year old that thought those few inches between normal distance from the glass and too-close-for-comfort distance made a difference.

Shark cage dive? Jake made a face, looking up at the water above them. "I suppose," he replied, considering it. "I think I could do it." Yes, that was him inviting himself to go cage diving with Anya. If it ever happened. And, honestly... he wouldn't put it past her.
He sat up sharply when she squealed, his eyes widening. But... oh. It was just about Nemo. "Dory," he corrected her automatically. When he realized what he did, he blinked at himself a few times before letting it go. His sisters liked movies. He watched them with them. He knew the fish's name.
Getting on his knees, Jake crawled over to kneel beside Anya as she looked in the tank. After a few seconds, he pointed, accidentally knocking the glass with his finger. "There he is!" He was whispering again, as if not wanting to scare the fish. | |

That would be convenient because she already wanted to go to Australia one day. You know, to see kangaroos! Wouldn't that be a brilliant vacation?! Sharks AND Koalas AND Kangaroos! She grinned to herself at the thought.
...
Anya let out a soft laugh. She said Dora didn't she? How did she manage to screw that up?! And more importantly... asdfghjkl; Her boyfriend was the cutest! She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. Because, that's what adorable boyfriends got.
She pulled his hand away from the glass. "Stop tapping." she said in a whisper. Because. They were whispering for some reason. Like they were going to scare the fish or something.
She watched as the Nemos and the Dorys swam by. The smile on her face growing by the second. "I want to snorkel sometime..."

What had he done to deserve that? She usually only did it when he was quote-unquote cute. What had he done, though? Knew the fish's name? He could start spouting off other names, too, if it got him more kisses. Squirt, Flo, Bruce...
...Anyway. He lowered his hand, leaning forward so he was as close to the glass as Anya was. His eyes followed a group - school? - of fish as they swam by... and nodded when Anya spoke. "Might as well do that in the same trip as the cage diving," he said, his voice sounding a bit distracted. A smile slowly spread his lips as a particularly cool looking fish went by his face.
"You could snorkel, then go out in the ocean and get almost-attacked by sharks." Sounded like a nice day if you asked him. And the two of them could totally make a date out of it. | |

Anya's watched excitedly as all the fish swam by. There was a plaque or something around here, right? That had all their names on it? And where they came from? And where she could get some.
She looked over at him and nodded. "Yeah. Sounds like a brilliant day to me." No lie. That was the type of day she lived for. The perfect mix of brilliantly colored fish and near death experiences. And yes, she did have days that were measured in those two things.
She leaned closer to the glass so that she was practically touching it... and practically going cross eyed. "Do you think ahnem... ah..." BLINK. Let's try that again. "... anemones sting people?" They stung, right? The little daddy fish said they said. Not as much as jellyfish. But, they do, right? Yeah. They can't just lie during a Disney movie. Anya Kids believed those movies.
"Oooh. Do you think there's magical fish here? Wait. Are there magical fish?" And yes. She fully expected Jake to know these things.

Oichi walked by the Care of Magical Creatures area and saw a new corridor. She walked down it and her eyes popped open. Was she really in a gigantic aquarium at school, apparantly. This was amazing. She wondered if anyone she knew had discovered this place as well.

There was snorkeling, and Jake was sure there were sharks by the islands. So that sounded like a good plan to him.
He turned his head, looking at her while she tried to say something. Grinning slowly, he nodded. "They do," he answered confidently. "It's how they protect themselves." A lot of things used electricity to protect themselves. Eels, jellyfish, electric fences...
...Magical fish? Jake looked back at Anya before leaning back to sit on his legs. "There's like... Kappas?" Was that what she was talking about? Did they even count as fish? ... "Mermaids...." Those weren't fish. He was pretty sure. | |

How else would she get a super good look at the fish???
In the middle of her gazing she heard footsteps get closer. Turning she spotted Oichi and gave the girl a wide smile. "HIYA! Come to look at the fishies too I see!" She scooted along the glass a bit, gesturing for the girl to join her...unless she was busy in which case Lex could continue staring on her own.

Those weren't fish. He was pretty sure. Anya grinned at him when he said Hawaii. It was almost like... a promise an inside joke between them now. "We can find out." And by that she completely meant... just... arrive in Hawaii one day and see. Not do any sort of vacation research or anything like that.
She nodded. "Yeah. I knew that part..." she said. "I meant... If I touched one... would it hurt? Because... if I touched something like... a jellyfish... or an electric fence... that sort of thing would hurt."
But little Nemo homes? She wasn't sure about that.
She blinked. Then giggled.
"I'm sure both Kappas and Mermaids would be severely offended if they heard you call them magical fish." she said. She giggled a few more times. You know, in case he didn't feel silly enough already.
"Do you think there's some sort of... like... magic eel out there? Like... an electric one, but instead of shocking you, it'll... magic you."
And yes, she did just use magic as a verb.

In the middle of her gazing she heard footsteps get closer. Turning she spotted Oichi and gave the girl a wide smile. "HIYA! Come to look at the fishies too I see!" She scooted along the glass a bit, gesturing for the girl to join her...unless she was busy in which case Lex could continue staring on her own. Oichi suddenly heard a high pitched voice that sounded quite familiar that startled her for a moment. She looked and saw that it was Lexi. She was being nice, hmm, well attitudes had changed a bit at the feast. Perhaps they could be friends. "Hey Lexi, isn't this place amazing. I have never seen an aquarium quite this size in a school. It's mind boggling, but Hogwarts is known for mind boggling stuff like this, isn't it. I don't know if I'll ever fully get used to though!!!", Oichi said giving Lexi a smile and then staring out at the beautiful structure with all the magical and non-magical aquatic wildlife. This place felt like a dream.

Christmas made her way into the aquarium and was amazed by the amount of fish that were in the tanks and was happy and hoped that she would make more friends soon

"Wow!'' he muttered, feeling his excitement rise. All around, there were fishes! Fishes of different shapes and colours, swimming all around. What caught his eyes now are the coral. That was one thing that fascinated him ever since the trip to Hawaii a few years ago.
The badger headed over for a closer look where a Gryffindor girl was standing. "Hello, there,'' he said as he examined a brain coral. "Enjoying the view?'' | |

He watched as a flounder fish swam by. It paused and fixed him and the girl next to him with a stare as if to say "What are you two looking at?'' The boy grinned at that thought. Wouldn't it be fun to try to figure out what each fish was thinking? If they even did think. The flounder swam on, passing over some pinkish coloured coral and passing a school of fish he didn't recognised.
The Puff turned to the Gryfindor girl. "I'm Jory, by the way,'' he introduced himself. "Sixth year Hufflepuff.'' Well, the Hufflepuff was obvious from his black and yellow tie.

Christmas smiled at Jory and said "Pleasure to meet you Jory, I am Christmas Fourth year Gryffindor" It was obvious from her red and gold tie but she was glad to meet somebody new
