| | |  The Courtyard
Image Credit: Felixir Accessible from the castle via the Clock Tower, the courtyard is both a throughway, leading to the wooden bridge which spans the nearby ravine, and a popular area of the grounds in its own right.
Many students spend their free time here outside of classes, particularly during break or lunch. Between lessons, this area is usually crowded with students catching up with their friends, getting in a round of gobstones, or lingering under the pear tree while they wait to head to their next class. A covered cloister surrounds the paved courtyard, and stone benches are spaced throughout the covered area, as well as dotted around the courtyard itself. Much of the architecture is in the gothic style, from the arches to the gargoyle parapets.
In the middle of the courtyard is an ancient fountain flanked by stone eagle sculptures, their features somewhat worn away by the elements over the years. Feel free to make a wish and toss a coin into the fountain, but be aware that once it's gone, it's gone. Any attempts to retrieve it will be unsuccessful, as the coin will keep magically sinking out of reach. Do try to jump into the fountain; staff will take pains to rescue you, but they're unlikely to be very impressed.
An addition to the courtyard as of 2104 is a bronze plaque, hanging on a restored pillar, its cracks and missing pieces clearly visible to those who take a good look. Both the pillar and its commemorative feature have now been charmed to prevent theft. The plaque reads:
Quote: This marks the location of the duel to the death between the Neo-Alliance leader, Lucien Rosier, and the British Minister for Magic, Charles Hollingberry, which resulted in Rosier's death. Long Live Hollingberry! May 10, 2104.

Hufflepuff Fourth Year | Hogwarts roulette -- Finn & Johnathan Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Finn had spent so much time cooped up, doing homework, eating, chatting his housemates' ears off, you name it, that he finally decided it was time to go outside! Hogwarts had these huge grounds, so much room for activities, and he had barely expored half of it. Today, though, he wasn't much up for exploring, so he'd brought his gobstones set outside with him. He was hoping, given the nice day, that there might be some other students hanging outside in the courtyard.
Maybe some other students who...might want to play his favorite wizarding game ever, Gobstones? |

He had been memorizing which routes let to what corridor, chamber, classroom, etc. Along those routes he had met new faces and seemed to feel comfortable in getting to know new students. On his walk to the grounds he noticed a young student hanging out, maybe he should introduce himself? "Hello." Johnny smiled and waved.

After a busy few hours of exploring and tending to a few plants in and around the greenhouses, Remy had made her way back towards the castle, stopping for a breather in the courtyard. She found a corner and was accompanied the entire time by her ginger cat, Binx. She absolutely loved taking him out, and had no fears of him running off because he was so attached to her.
She sat cross-legged on the ground of the courtyard, picking at the dirt underneath her fingernails, and occasionally stroking Binx. Sometimes all you needed was a cat and a hobby to get through the hardships of life, ammiright?

Sometimes all you needed was a cat and a hobby to get through the hardships of life, ammiright? Had Yumeki been in the Courtyard before or after Remy showed up and sat down on the courtyard ground? It was usually impossible to tell. Yumeki always just seemed to be anywhere whenever anyone looked, which no one usually ever did. And if he was being sought out he was either sleeping or practicing some sort of Kendo routine.
What was most intriguing in this scenario was that Yumeki was not doing either. He was sitting straight up on a bench in the courtyard and writing down something in a journal. His calligraphy looked like awful chicken scratch, but there was no need for anyone like his great-grandmother to look over his shoulder making sure each stroke of the quill was perfect.
His tired eyes glanced up and saw Remy sit down with her cat. He had seen that cat around the common room, but never approached it. Yumeki liked cats, more so than dogs. Dogs, he did NOT like. He shut his journal and looked toward Remy. "I like your cat." He spoke up, to draw attention toward himself. | |

Remy had reached into her soft rucksack with teddy bear ears at this point to retrieve a scarf. She felt the cold so terribly fast, and she definitely was not a lover of winter which was fast approaching. The only good reason for it being that Halloween and Christmas were around the corner.
WHO was that? Grr.
“ He will bite you,” Remy informed the unlucky person to have approached her. Perhaps that was why she didn’t take Binx out onto the grounds too often, in fears that he would abandon her to live in the Forbidden Forest where he belonged.
Eventually looking up to see who it was, Remy’s expression softened. “ Hi, Yumeki. I was only joking, Binx would never bite anyone unless I asked him to.” Maybe not quite ASKED him to… because cats couldn’t understand English, but she was sure he could read her body language. In all seriousness, Binx did not belong in the Forbidden Forest.

"Hello." Johnny smiled and waved. He hadn't been in the courtyard long when along came another student. A friendly one even. "Hi!" The fourth year returned the greeting. "I'm Finn," he added, since he didn't think he'd met this boy before.
Setting his gobstones out on the ground, he gestured to the boy. "Do you want to play?" | |

Fair warning, I’m not great at this sport.” He laughed. ”Let’s do this!” He clapped and rolled his sleeves up to his elbows for more flexibility.

Even if it was starting to get a little colder, Karleigh still enjoyed getting outside as much as she could. Not that she was an exceptionally outdoorsy person, but she knew that fresh air and sunshine was a wonderful thing and she should enjoy every nice day that she could. There were a lot of cold and grey days in Scotland as it was.
Now that she was a seventh year, there were a few things that were taking priority in her life. And one of them just happened to be working on her audition for WADA. She knew she still had months to prepare, but she wanted it to be perfect because she was kind of all in on getting in, now that she had made up her mind to do it.
Karleigh had a few places that she liked best for practicing and the courtyard happened to be one of them. Dressed relatively warmly, but in workout clothes that she could still move in, she headed out to the courtyard looking for a slightly more secluded place that she could dance in.

Peeves
| Resident School Poltergeist | Unruly & Malicious
Swimming majestically through the air - working on his backstroke today - Peeves propelled himself directly into the empty air above the courtyard, and-
Oh ho hO. Victims! Friends!
Peevesy was having great luck finding students with cats in their arms this term. Actually, he'd already tried bestowing one of his gifts on the pets of Hogwarts, but to no effect - SUCH disappointment! No matter, he still had these entertaining students here at his disposal.
Flipping onto his stomach and kicking his dastardly little poltergeist feet up behind him, Peeves "Ehehehehe"ed softly to himself, and brandishing his trusty book at the girl (Remy) sitting on the ground down there while she was still mid-conversation. It was TERRIBLY rude to interrupt people, after all.

Fair warning, I’m not great at this sport.” He laughed. ”Let’s do this!” He clapped and rolled his sleeves up to his elbows for more flexibility. Finn, on the other hand, played in the U-17 Gobstones league and had his own Gobstones set. He played quite a lot, but had never managed to make it a full game without getting the goo squirted at him. It was part of the fun of the game, in his opinion. "I'll go easy on you," Finn promised. Well, he'd try at least. It wasn't like an athletic sport where you could hold back your energy. What was he supposed to do, aim badly on purpose?
Stones arranged for the start of the match, he nodded to the other Gryffindor. "Do you want to go first?" Once he saw the poltergeist arrive and start bothering some other students, he grimaced and looked from Peeves to Johnathan. "Do you think...should we go someplace else?" If Peeves started making a ruckus as he usually did, Finn didn't want his Gobstones set getting lost or broken, if that were even possible. | |

That was when he took notice of his now former teammate... who was looking around for something? Someone?
"Karleigh? Everything okay?" He could only imagine how she was feeling with it being her final year, when he was already feeling some sort of way with it being his sixth year.

"Karleigh? Everything okay?" He could only imagine how she was feeling with it being her final year, when he was already feeling some sort of way with it being his sixth year. Maybe it was too cold to practice outside, though the movement would likely keep her pretty warm. Though it was just as likely that Karleigh was doing a little procrastinating. It wasn't that she didn't love to dance or want to get into WADA, but thinking about her audition was really beginning to make her feel anxious. What if she didn't get it? What then? She wasn't sure what else she would be qualified for and then thinking about that made her remember that she also really needed to be studying for NEWTs. Ugh. Seventh year was overwhelming.
But one thing at a time, and perhaps a little dance practice would clear her mind a little. As long as she did not stress about her audition. Karleigh paused to set her things down, just in time to hear a voice, causing her to turn. "Oh, hi, Apollo," she said, giving him a little smile. "Yes, I suppose so. I'm just.. I guess I'm just thinking about the future." And it was just a little stressful.

It wasn't as if they'd really interacted A WHOLE lot in the last six years. But there was also some small itch in him that wanted to keep his feet firmly planted there and hear her out. Even though she was only a year older than him, surely there was some sage advice she could offer him?
He couldn't help but laugh though at her comment. It wasn't that it was funny, but it kind of was, only because it wasn't surprising. "That's the tea, huh? The future. It seems kind of a strange thing to think about though... Like if you think about it. It's our present that controls our future, so like shouldn't we worry about the present? The here and now?" But who was he? Just a sixteen year old with a somewhat optimistic hope for a professional quidditch career.

Leading his group of students wasn't too hard - all they needed to do if they got lost was follow the trail of bubbles, flowers, or butterflies and they'd stumble upon Javier and the rest of the students he had gathered with him. This was a big school, and he was starting to doubt whether or not they'd find this poltergeist - especially if they acted like an angry mob with pitchforks. He paused in the courtyard and turned to the students.
"Can anyone remember where they ran into Peeves out on the grounds? I know I saw him at my hut, and at the winged boars..." he began. Annnd there were the bubbles again. Blegh.

Jude had no issues keeping up with Hernandez even as he kept his eyes peeled for the Poltergeist. He momentarily forgot about the butterflies on his head too, that was how focused he was. But so far, they were lucking out it seemed. “Um…” The boy thought, his mind casting itself around in an attempt to dig up any memory of where Peeves could possibly be. He thought the prankster could be anywhere honestly.
Like Hernandez, he had known Peeves had been at the Winged Boars where Meredith had been turned into a ferret and Reuben had looked as though he had consumed a massive dose of the Pepperup Potion. “The Domes! Well, I didn’t run into him there but I heard from one of my cousins that her boyfriend had encountered Peeves there.” Maybe that was where Tadhg had gotten his powers.
Oh look! Pretty bubbles! | |

Tadhg decided to team up with Professor Hernandez on this one, only due to the fact he was by the courtyard almost when Peeves gave him his 'gift', but he wondered where else he been spreading his fun as he calls it at. Apparently it was all over the castle, so they were going to have a bit of trouble finding him for sure. He hopes he didn't give poor Hernandez a fright though, he been through enoigh for sure but they all have for sure. Okay... it wasn't like Tadhg didn't like being normal, he thought it was overrated but he was just a normal wizard nothing more then that.
Once again with his wand out, he nodded at Jude's words although he knew they couldn't see him. " He's right sir, he was by the domes when he gave me my 'gift' but also heard he was at the boathouse as well, seems like he was having fun giving these gifts out sir." His eyes looking around for Peeves or any sign he was here or around, where was that troublemaker poltergeist at? He was determined to find him like the rest of the group here and probably around the castle searching.

Blegh "He's been in and out of the greenhouses since early in the semester," Tapio said, frowing--he was still angry at how the poltergeist had disrupted his event back in the fall. "Though he usually doesn't go in them, unless there is a class or event going on." So far, thankfully, the mischievous creature hadn't yet attempted to give the Herbology teacher any special 'powers,' for which he was very thankful. | |

Soooo the domes, the greenhouses, Javi's hut, the Greenhouses..."Perhaps the better question is where HASN'T he been spotted," he grumbled in annoyance, a few bubbles escaping his lips even at the low volume. Well this was annoying. Maybe this hunt wasn't going to be as easy as Javier anticipated...
"Maybe if we simply call out for him we'll get his attention?" he suggested. It was as good an idea as any in his opinion - and maybe the poltergeist would be intrigued.

You know… Jude hadn’t noticed that Tadhg had joined Hernandez’s group. Well, he hadn’t noticed the floating wand. It was the Slytherin’s voice that got his attention. But the fact was, there was confirmation to Jude’s words about where the Poltergeist had been. He was even sure that he had seen Peeves around the Greenhouses - the most obvious was when there were lessons going on.
Jude chuckled heartily at the Potion Master’s next words. Yes, that prankster certainly had been all over the Castle and Grounds it seemed. “Maybe we ought to make it appeal to him? I dunno… suggest we need his expertise in order to prank Headmaster Kazmi or someone else?” | |

| Hernandez's Group! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Keeping was too difficult to do when she was keeping in pace with Jude. The fourth year was so used to keeping in stride with those taller than herself, not that she was all that small anymore. If by chance she had gotten herself strayed from the group all she needed to do was look for a ton of butterflies to lead her back.
Bright blue eyes swung from left to right throughout the entire walk in search of Peeves. Her hears were listening to every single sound, perhaps they would pick up on that telltale cackle that would belong to the one and only poltergeist himself. So far there was nothing. Only lots and lots of colorful flowers and butterflies.
Professor Hernandez's question got her attention and she paused for a moment to think it over. "I remember seeing him in the Great Hall and in the Entrance Hall." She was sure she had heard him around all over the castle and out on the grounds many more times than she could count this year. But where hasn't Peeves been seen? Now that.. was an interesting question! "Umm, I don't think I've heard of him stopping by the music room or the art room? So maybe he doesn't like those types of rooms or something?" Really she had no idea at all. "Maybe if we played some really simple pranks of our own he would show up?" It could work, right? | |

"I suppose that's as good an idea as anything I could come up with," Javier said with a small smile as Tapio, Jude and Keighley all suggested similar ideas. "I can be the target of the prank," he added as an afterthought. Peeves knew that Javier was NOT one who tolerated pranks - the whole school knew that.
"It would be very realistic that Peeves would delight in someone trying to prank me," he elaborated. Plus Peeves KNEW he had been pushing Javier's buttons all term. It was the perfect plan to lure him out - hopefully.

Peeves
| Resident School Poltergeist | Unruly & Malicious
Who was that dashing young poltergeist, perching now upon a gargoyle parapet above this congregation of students and their overlords. Certainly not old Peevesie, because this poltergeist had a glorious and totally-not-fake handlebar moustache and a very fetching pair of horn-rimmed glasses, which was most certainly not a disguise and definitely his very usual appearance. No, not Peeves. Just an unrelated poltergeist taking in the air.
A poltergeist who, it just so happened, would also have delighted in the pranking of the Potions Master, but who had turned up of his own accord anyway.
Except, thing was, disguises weren't really Peeves' thing. He was a very forthright poltergeist - except for the invisibility thing of course, which didn't count because he said so - but there was no beating the comedy value of a good fake-glasses-and-nose-and-moustache combo. So when he spoke up, he didn't make that much effort to keep up the pretence.
"Looking for old Peevesie?" the poltergeist sang out. "What a coiiiincidence." He was looking for them too, or anyone, really. His little game had become boring. And, uh, maybe His Bloodiness had... had a word. Just in passing. Maybe. "Could it be that you need Peeves' help? State your business, my powerful little friends, and I'll give you your answers." Hehehe.

And just like that…
Peeves made an appearance.
Did Peeves have the ability to literally sniff out plotting of pranks and mischief? Jude stared at the spectacular handlebar mustache and the glasses. Um… was that some really lame attempt at a disguise? Because the poltergeist definitely gave away his identity speaking to them in that tone and voice. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t make sense if the group said they wanted to prank Hernandez now, since the man was literally RIGHT THERE.
“Er, yes. We want to pull the ultimate prank on someone. Something that no one would see coming. Surely you have some ideas up your sleeves, Peeves?” Jude eyed him slightly disdainfully. | |
