Strategically placed in front of the seating area for viewing purposes is a large plexiglass dome that at first glance appears to only house an myriad of harmless magical plants that once sat in the abandoned greenhouses. But if you step closer to the entrance, you'll notice the sign that reads 'Butterfly Hunting' along with instructions on how this station works and rack of butterfly nets.
The outside view makes the dome appear to be some sort of forest, and the inside view is no different. Working similar to a magical tent, the inside is double the size of the actual dome and it's much warmer in here than it has been in the entire castle for months. There is a dirt path that trails through the entire dome, doubling back on itself several times and finally leading out towards the exit on the other side. In between the two doors are dozens of plants scattered about, some surrounding small ponds and benches, moving at their own free will and others are very much stationary and mundane.
But the plants are not why you're here. It's the hundred of butterflies that fly through the air and rest on the plants, literally glowing with magic. They seem peaceful and easy to catch, but these magical butterflies are anything but. Most of them are larger than the average butterfly, some flying faster than you can run and others slow enough to creep up on but that doesn't make them easier to catch, for these butterflies also have the ability to do marvelous things such as disappear on sight into other areas of the dome, shoot sparks out of their antennaes when feeling threatened, hopping from plant to plant, and some just like to tickle. Try not to get bogged down by those.
The point of this section is to catch as many magical butterflies in your net as you can before reaching the other side. It only takes a few minutes to make it through the entire course, and whoever comes out on the other side with the most from their group that they entered with, will win a special surprise.
Good luck, and have fun students!

Rules/Guidelines:
You can't die or be seriously injured in here.
These are magical butterflies and they can't be easily caught, so have fun and make it a challenge for your character!
They also won't eat you.
Do not use the butterfly nets as weapons against each other.
No wands, butterfly nets only.
Once a butterfly is safely in the net, they can't escape.

It was nice seeing everything put together. The snake padded around the great hall with a silly smile on her face. It looked awesome. Well, they make it look awesome. They being all the prefects who worked on this. She didn't linger anywhere for long as she headed to the station she was supposed to observe. Butterfly hunting! She was actually looking forwards to that and was willing to ignore that it looked so much like a greenhouse. This was totally to be ignored.
Automatically, Cassia found herself standing by the prizes box. This thing was locked. Duh. Wouldn't want people snatching those by themselves, now, would they? Better not to.
While waiting for people to show up, she grabbed a net and started swinging it around. Nice. Might even catch a couple of butterflies in the meanwhile and see how this thing really worked and all.

Looking cool.Donny wasn't sure what this whole field day thing was supposed to be, but he had mad sure to look cool cool cool. Impress girls and stuff, yeah?
Ooh. This was looking coo-ool. Who cared about the frozen outside stuff when you could have this inside?! He entered the dome and curiously looked around. What was he supposed to see? Plants were pretty and stuff, but- ooooh. Butterflies.
Hence the nets. Right, of course. Donnacha quickly went back to get a net, assuming they were going to be hunting butterflies. Like hunting, but cuter. And no violence and stuff.
Once he'd gotten his net and returned to the dome he spotted the Head Girl. He didn't really know the girl, but it was polite to say hi. And Donny was polite. So he skipped over, waving his net around as he did so. ".............hi!"

She knew choosing this place to monitor was a very good decision. It was nice and peaceful and no one was being crazy or anything. Actually no was here yet. She was trying not to take it personally. Ahem. People will show up eventually. They probably were being loud and pumped somewhere nearby. Which Cassia intended to go and check out when she got the chance. But for now she was here swinging around her net aimlessly. Not really meaning to catch any butterflies which she didn't.
Oooh, someone was here.
Cassia watched the familiar boy though tried not to stare or scare him away. She was a little bit excited, she could handle it. Mhhm.
"Hello, there," She waved back her net at him. Official way of greeting at the Butterfly hunting, obviously. Wave your net. "You are Donny, aren't you?" Bwahaha. Creepy head girl who knows people's name, eh? She just saw the kid with Shan and stuffs. She had her sources. Ahem. "I'm Cassia," Did he know that? Everyone should know that.

Donny was pretty sure that these butterflies weren't like the usual butterflies, like back at home and such. The whole giant butterfly thing was a dead give away. Donny was smart like that. Aww yeah. It was kind of quiet in here, wasn't it? Had he chosen the wrong place to go? Quiet wasn't really Donny's thing. No way. Loud and fun and the whole shebang. But butterflies...
Who had nothing to do with butter. Or margarine. Or any dairy whatsoever.
Ooh. The Head Girl knew him. That was good right? Donny wasn't too sure if it was. Not that he'd been up to anything bad. All good things, all good things. Donny was cute and stuff, or so he'd been told. That was probably why Cassia knew him. That's meeee. Donny the cutiepie. Girls loved cute kids. And it didn't hurt to have the Head Girl on your side!
"Donny! That's me! Donnacha Andrew Harper! But Donny's fine, really! Really." Now, lets go catch butterflies and stuff. "Nice to finally meet you, Head Girl Cassyahhh!"

What was all of this buzzing about a Prefect event that she was hearing? She hadn't the slightest idea, but as you can imagine, little Josie couldn't ignore the curiosity that wouldn't leave her racing brain. So getting dressed she quickly ran from the Ravenclaw tower, all the way down to the Great Hall where she had seen everyone else going to.
Once arriving there, her blue eyes had been intrigued by the looks of what might have resembled the Greenhouses, but it looked very different as she began approaching it to get a better look at it. It was when she'd passed a sign that read, 'Butterfly Hunting' that her interest only grew more. The second year smiled a little bit as she made her way towards the area where nets were being held & grabbed her hands on one. After doing so, she tensed up briefly when she realized that she wasn't the only one near the dome.
There was an older girl & a boy who didn't look too much older than her. Come to think of it, both of them seemed very familiar to her. OH! OF COURSE! The older girl was someone Josie had partnered up with in class, she seemed nice & the boy...was someone she had tripped over, well not him, his foot.

The first name would have totally been okay but she appreciated the first, middle and last name. Who knew, that may come in handy in the future. This kid apparently thought about the future a lot or something. You'd think it was the other way around. As the snake avoid thinking about the future those days as much as she could. Futures were scary, she didn't want to think of them. Nope, thanks. She'd rather enjoy her time instead of stressing or planning or whatever.
Did she have to tell him her full-name as well? She doubted he'd need it since he might not see her after she graduates. Snap, she kept remembering that. Those thoughts were to be dismissed.
"Likewise," She nodded at him. "So, Donny, aren't you gonna try hunt those butterflies? Have you tried before? " She stepped closer to the mud road and away from the prizes box. She'd just hex anyone who came near it. Meanwhile she'd chat while people caught butterflies or attempted to. hehe.

Wonder if they remembered her at all..
"..H-Hello..."Smile.
Her eyes drifted to the entrance as someone entered. Was it someone to STEAL the prizes!? Fortunately before her hand flew to her wand and did anything rash she recognized the younger girl. Good thing her brain provided her with the required information right away before doing something she'd regret and ruin the entire fun. Phew. Prizes, fun and people were safe. All was good.
"Hey, Josette," She smiled at the girl whom she of course remembered well. The seventh-year didn't forget a face. Sometimes she did forget names or make up new names for people but not always. And this time it wan't one of those times. Or so she thought. She probably had to wait to see if the Ravenclaw corrected her.
Waving with her net, she motioned the girl to come closer. They didn't bite, nor did the butterflies they only shot sparks and tickled. The butterflies, that is. "How good are you at being stealthy?" she asked dropping her voice tone. Only because it made sense to do so when asking someone about how good could they creep up on things or people.

The third year skipped along to the butterfly hunting area. Whoever had thought of the idea of all of these events were just pure genius's but really they were. When Emmylou made it happily over to the butterfly hunting area she looked around for Kace, Cinna or Lux or just really for all of them. The lioness didn't want to grab a net yet if her friends weren't here. The third year stood on her tippy toes and searched for her friends. Where were they? Did she forget to tell them that having all of them here would be a great idea. Emmylou looked around once more, she couldn't find them but her shortness could be the problem but nonetheless Emmylou took a few steps back and waited for her friends. She didn't want to be in the way of anyone that was ready to go and hunt the butterflies right that very moment.

So it was student field day. He was excited for this! But first Emmy asked him to meet her at the butterfly hunting event. He would do it and then she would do the go karting with him after. It seemed only fair. As he was walking toward the event, he noticed his girlfriend looking around. He grinned and was deciding to scare her or not to. Nahh he was gonna be nice. He tapped her shoulder and said, "Hey beautiful you looking for me?"

Marigold decided that getting out of her dormitory and actually doing something instead of moping around would probably be a good thing. So here she was, waiting to catch a butterfly or something. The butterflies were pretty, and they could take her mind off the snow for a while. She twisted the net a bit in her hands before trying to chase a particularly blue one, looking not unlike a very ungraceful runner. Oh wait, that's because she was one.
Charlotte walked up to the dome and kind of stared in awe at the butterfly hunting area. She had heard about it and just figured this would be a good place to walk along with Declan while looking at, and not actually catching, pretty butterflies. If he wanted to catch them, she wasn't going to stop him. She was dragging him here of all places, it was the least she could do. It wasn't her fault paintballing scared her. She couldn't be the only one in this entire castle who didn't want people shooting things at her!
Anyhow, she stood near the entrance, looking around for Declan. They had agreed to meet her but she couldn't find him with everything else going on...maybe he was running late or something?

This whole event was a great idea. The boy was practically going insane without any fresh air or vitamin d from the sun. Looking for a girlfriend, looking for a girlfriend...ah! There! His girlfriend.
Declan stealthily made he way behind her without a noise. SWOOP. He picked her up around the waist from behind to plant a big kiss on her cheek. "I have arrived! And you chose..." He looked around him, having not really paying attention to where he was, "...butterflies." Butterflies. The boy saw some paint balling going on. Why couldn't they do something tough like that?

OHMYGOSH WHO'S TOU-
Right...boyfriend.
After Char's mini heart attack, she smiled a bit at the cheek kiss and tried to calm herself. No big deal. She should have been expecting him to do something like that. This was Declan after all. "youscaredmeeeee." Obviously. She turned and gave him a quick hug hello and then let go of him, totally not checking him out in the process. Really though, did he have
to be so good looking all the time?!
But enough about that, he didn't want to do butterflies! "You saaiid I could choooooooose." Did he really think she would go off and choose anything else? REALLY?! "We don't haaaaaaave toooooooooo.."

When Lux had heard about this event that was put together for students, it made her excited. It was nice to have a distraction when she was sad about Bay and missed him a lot. She really wished that he could be here with her, but kept telling herself that he would be okay; Charlie had promised her. Be optimistic, that is what you are good at. There is no way that Bay is going to die with Healer Tillstorm looking after him.
Spotting Kace and Emmy, she headed over to them. Butterfly hunting seemed like it would be fun, but she had a feeling that Kace was mostly here for his girlfriend; go-karting and paintball fights seemed to be more up his alley than trying to nab pretty insects. "I hope you guys weren't waiting long for me." Being late was something that Lux disliked. Again she wished that Bay was here with her.

Penelope was looking around at the different things at the field day. She didn't want to get paint on her, and she wasn't sure about go-karting, so she headed over to the butterfly hunting. Butterfly hunting looked like it would be fun. Entering the dome, she looked around. The plants must be the ones that they had saved from the greenhouses. There were cool magical butterflies flying around. It was actually warm in here. It looked like no one had started yet, so she grabbed a butterfly net and waited.

Oh, yeah. He needs to work on not scaring her so much.
Pfft...nah!
Scaring's only part of the fun! "Sorry, munchkin." The boy apologized, kissing the top of his girlfriend's head as she gave him a quick hug. Look at her trying to be inconspicuous. He totally knows she's checking him out and he might've posed a bit, so she could get a better view. *SMUG*
Ughhhh, he did say that. "Fine, because I stick to my word." He'll go pump iron after this or something. Declan took a hold of her hand and raised it to his face, "What do we do here anyways?" He mumbled into her palm.

Donny didn't remember ever seeing so many butterflies. Or such weird ones. How awesome was this?
The whole dome-thing was pretty cool, too. But Donny still thought that being outside would've been better than this. No complaining though, today was going to be fun. Catching some butterflies, winning some stuff, maybe? Sweets?
Oh, lookit! Donny knew the girl who had just joined them. He wasn't sure what her name was, but he knew her. Sort of. She'd fallen over his foot this once. He'd been too busy writing a letter to notice her, so.. Had he ever sent said letter? Donny wasn't sure.
"Hiya! You goings to catch butterflies with us?!" Donny beamed at her and waved his net around. "Did I tell you my name was Donny? Because that's my name!" We could leave the whole fullname thing out for today, lets get to hunting..!

Was he going to try hunt those butterflies. "SURE AM!" It'd be awesome. Where was Abbi? Abbi should see this! And Elodie too. Butterflies might cheer her up. Donny looked up and tried finding the pretties butterfly in the dome. If he could catch that one he'd give it to Elodie. Were they even allowed to keep the butterflies?
Donny watched the two girls. Stealthy. That was probably really important. Being stealthy, or quiet in general, wasn't Donnacha's thing. He'd just try something else. So instead of the stealthy approach, Donny pushed his hair out of his face and ran after the first butterfly he saw. "Come here, beautiful beast!" He called after the butterfly and swung his net around.

Mhmm. He better be sorry! Her poor little midget heart couldn't take so much scaring! Were normal hugs and kisses not a thing? Because those would always be appreciated. Always. Aaaaand he called her munchkin? Weren't munchkins shorter then midgets?? NOT OKAY. She wasn't even that short anymore!! It wasn't her fault everyone she hung out with was at least five inches taller than her! (Except Lux, she was cooler than the y'all people.) Charlotte mumbled something about being a munchkin and then let it go. Clearly, Dec was only joking.
"But you're going to be bored! Let's just change it.. " As long as he knew he'd have to protect her from paint balls or anything else that went flying her way.
Was he serious? She figured it was obvious what they were supposed to do there. " Weeeeell...we take these nets and we catch butterflies. " Duuuuh.

Ooh, people were here. Cool! She'd have hated to be in an abandoned place. She wondered what was the thing that got people to come, butterflies, the plants or the prizes? Did they know there were prizes by the way? Who knew. Anyway they probably came for all the things out together. Yet, she didn't see people actually doing much of hunting. Were they deciding how they were going to do it? Planning a strategy? She approved of that. But just in case they were getting carried away with chitchat.
"Come one people! Those butterflies aren't gonna catch themselves!" Juuust an encouraging nudge.

Her eyes scanned the faces to see if her words had any effect on anyone. Not that she sounded that demanding or anything but just to see if she did remind someone of what they were supposed to be doing here. She focused on a young girl grabbed a net which made Cassia excited. But then the girl did nothing with the net. Hmm? Maybe she was waiting for someone. Or didn't know where to start? A certain snake could help out.
"You know, the butterflies like to fly near those flowers," she said pointing at a certain type of flowers. Just a hint. Nope, not cheating. She'd have answered anyone if she was asked.

At least someone looked focused on the cause. Cassia much approved of that. She watched how Donny got all ready to hunt and moved herself out of the way but didn't get far. But she did have an eye on that prize box. No one looked interested in it, anyway. She started doubting people knew about it at all. Or perhaps they wanted to win those prizes the right way so that they'd deserve them. Those righteous hogwartians.
"You go, Donnacha Andrew--.. !!!" something! WOOT! "Keep it up and you'll pocket those prizes," Motivation. Ahem. It usually works with the snakes.

"Hey, Josette," She smiled at the girl whom she of course remembered well. The seventh-year didn't forget a face. Sometimes she did forget names or make up new names for people but not always. And this time it wan't one of those times. Or so she thought. She probably had to wait to see if the Ravenclaw corrected her.
Waving with her net, she motioned the girl to come closer. They didn't bite, nor did the butterflies they only shot sparks and tickled. The butterflies, that is. "How good are you at being stealthy?" she asked dropping her voice tone. Only because it made sense to do so when asking someone about how good could they creep up on things or people.
OH. She remembered her name, too. That did make her feel a lot better, that would have been really awkward, although Josie wouldn't have blamed the older girl, she was only a second year. She seemed way to cool to remember small children like her.
But nonetheless, she waved to Cassia with a soft smile. "H-Hi..Cassia.." Not long after that, she noticed that Cassia was motioning for Josie to come closer, so that was what she did. What was that? How was she being good at being stealthy? "Well, I-I suppose I'm pretty..stealthy...Back h-home I used to sneak out of m-my room into the study s-so I could read a book where my father r-rarely ever caught me.." That counted right? Right?
SPOILER!!: Donny!

The whole dome-thing was pretty cool, too. But Donny still thought that being outside would've been better than this. No complaining though, today was going to be fun. Catching some butterflies, winning some stuff, maybe? Sweets?
Oh, lookit! Donny knew the girl who had just joined them. He wasn't sure what her name was, but he knew her. Sort of. She'd fallen over his foot this once. He'd been too busy writing a letter to notice her, so.. Had he ever sent said letter? Donny wasn't sure.
"Hiya! You goings to catch butterflies with us?!" Donny beamed at her and waved his net around. "Did I tell you my name was Donny? Because that's my name!" We could leave the whole fullname thing out for today, lets get to hunting..!
From the looks of it, it seemed the boy wasn't upset with her at all from her tripping over his feet. It was a real relief, he was actually seeming to be very excited about catching the butterflies. Which was when he'd asked her & she nodded immediately, "Y-Yes, I don't know how good I'd be at catching t-them, but I'd like to try.." Then he'd given her his name, which she knew was polite to tell hers back, in case he didn't remember hers. "I-I'm Josie-Uh J-Josette.."
SPOILER!!: Cassia the Leader!

Were they deciding how they were going to do it? Planning a strategy? She approved of that. But just in case they were getting carried away with chitchat.
"Come one people! Those butterflies aren't gonna catch themselves!" Juuust an encouraging nudge.
Her eyes scanned the faces to see if her words had any effect on anyone. Not that she sounded that demanding or anything but just to see if she did remind someone of what they were supposed to be doing here. She focused on a young girl grabbed a net which made Cassia excited. But then the girl did nothing with the net. Hmm? Maybe she was waiting for someone. Or didn't know where to start? A certain snake could help out.
"You know, the butterflies like to fly near those flowers," she said pointing at a certain type of flowers. Just a hint. Nope, not cheating. She'd have answered anyone if she was asked.

OH, judging by Cassia's words that was a clear sign that it was time to get this event started! Her attention had been brought towards Donny when she saw him go chasing after butterflies already. She couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm & eagerness, it felt infectious. Josie took that as an initiative to have her net up at the ready & begin her hunt as well too.
That was when he eyes had settled on one ahead of her, it wasn't it's regular size though. It looked as though it was the same size as her growing kitten Sebastian. Walking on her toes, she slowly began to creep up on it inching closer & closer.

She twisted the net a bit in her hands before trying to chase a particularly blue one, looking not unlike a very ungraceful runner. Oh wait, that's because she was one.
Mitchell wondered who would choose butterflies over go-carts. And near instantaneously that question had been answered.
Who would choose the butterflies? His most favorite person ever. He grabbed a net and followed after her.
"Hey Goldilocks." he said catching up with her. There was a prize for this right? He could catch some butterflies and give her the prize. That would be a boyfriendy thing to do.
Oh. And hey. It was actually warm here. He'd need to take off his scarf and coats soon.

And then...
SWIIIIING-
DID SHE CATCH IT?!
.......Drats...
...Alright, this wasn't going to be easy..
Shy people intrigued Cassia hugely. She was never a shy one when she was young and definitively wasn't one now. Except for very certain occasions. Anyway, the snake smiled at Josie as she talked and nodded to the young girls' words. "That totally counts," she answered all knowingly. Being stealthy with parents was not an easy thing. Though, the blond was surprised that someone would sneak into somewhere behind their father's back to read a book. The things Ravenclaws did.
"Those butterflies disappear and are fast, though," Cassia was almost sure Josie's father didn't do any of those things. "But you can do it," She winked at the girl an stepped back a bit to give her room.
And the Ravenclaw was off! She was so close. Cassia was just gonna stand here and be a cheerleader.

Nessa somehow found herself inside a magical world of beautiful paradise, otherwise known as the Butterfly Hunting area of the Field Day event. But just look at the place! Lush greenery as far as they eye could see, inviting ponds, the warmth of a Spring day.. and the butterflies! It was the outdoors that she had been longing for. The History of Magic professor stood in the middle of it all with her arms open wide, slowly spinning around Sound of Music style.
But they were here to catch the butterflies, weren't they? That could be tons of fun! Nessa retrieved a net for herself and set off, gliding along the path, swooshing her net around in the attempt to randomly pick up one of the glowing insects as she passed. And so many children had come out for the day, how fun! She beamed over at the Head Girl as she encouraged the others to scoop up some butterflies. "Anyone up for a little friendly competition?" Nessa announced to no one in particular as she swept her net over a butterfly that soon shot sparks out of its antennae, making the woman squeal in surprise. Teehee, this was fun!

It wasn't her fault everyone she hung out with was at least five inches taller than her! (Except Lux, she was cooler than the y'all people.) Charlotte mumbled something about being a munchkin and then let it go. Clearly, Dec was only joking.
"But you're going to be bored! Let's just change it.. " As long as he knew he'd have to protect her from paint balls or anything else that went flying her way.
Was he serious? She figured it was obvious what they were supposed to do there. " Weeeeell...we take these nets and we catch butterflies. " Duuuuh.
Bored? It's not that he'll get bored. It's just that he's sincerely worried he'll hurt the butterflies with his extreme man strength, okay? The lives of these butterflies are in their hands!
That's it? Mmmmm...might be a bit boring. How hard is it to catch a butterfly?
At that same moment, he overhead the head girl explaining a bit about how magically modified the butterflies were and did spark his a interest a bit more. That sounded a bit more like a challenge.
"S'okay. Let's grab nets before the head girl kicks us out for being inactive." Dec urged his girlfriend, looking for where the nets might be.
The third year skipped along to the butterfly hunting area. Whoever had thought of the idea of all of these events were just pure genius's but really they were. When Emmylou made it happily over to the butterfly hunting area she looked around for Kace, Cinna or Lux or just really for all of them. The lioness didn't want to grab a net yet if her friends weren't here. The third year stood on her tippy toes and searched for her friends. Where were they? Did she forget to tell them that having all of them here would be a great idea. Emmylou looked around once more, she couldn't find them but her shortness could be the problem but nonetheless Emmylou took a few steps back and waited for her friends. She didn't want to be in the way of anyone that was ready to go and hunt the butterflies right that very moment.

It seemed only fair. As he was walking toward the event, he noticed his girlfriend looking around. He grinned and was deciding to scare her or not to. Nahh he was gonna be nice. He tapped her shoulder and said, "Hey beautiful you looking for me?"

There is no way that Bay is going to die with Healer Tillstorm looking after him.
Spotting Kace and Emmy, she headed over to them. Butterfly hunting seemed like it would be fun, but she had a feeling that Kace was mostly here for his girlfriend; go-karting and paintball fights seemed to be more up his alley than trying to nab pretty insects. "I hope you guys weren't waiting long for me." Being late was something that Lux disliked. Again she wished that Bay was here with her.
So this field day thing seem pretty awesome. And has all springy like which made her happy. She love spring. What was more springy than butterflies? Emmy had asked her to meet up with her. She was excited. She hadn't seen Emmy in so long. Weird right? They lived it the same dorm. On the way she seen a go-kart track and paintball now that sound fun. Not that butterfly hurting wasn't awesome. the other two sounded funner to her. She was going to have to find Bart to do one of those with her.
Now where was she? EMMYLOU. Where are you? It didn't take her long to find her. And Kace and Lux were there too. Yay. It really did seem like she hadn't seen any of them in forever. She ran up to them. Grinning happily. "Hey Guys, I guess I'm not too, late." She beamed at all three of them. Butterfly hunting, anyone?
