"Yes. Everything is quite fine now because we've managed to save Archer from these two predators." she nodded to Leo, who was in his cage, then Felix, who she still refused to put in his cage. "And now we're being punished for our heroism."

Nothing terribly awful there; nope. Life was never a fair thing anyway.

She took a flyer then extended it towards him. "And I might as well start my punishment now. Here, have a flyer, this girl really wants her bat back."


Gideon listened as a young girl answered his question, explaining about a pet and apparent predators. The prefect looking between the animals he understood about the scene that had to have transpired, having to deal with his own familiar's interractions with felines. He took a flier from her, not sure what she meant by punishment, his eyes widdening slightly as he read over the paper in his hand.

Mortimer was missing?!

No wonder Selina was reactive, the seventh year knowing how she was with her beater bat.

SPOILER!!: Genevieve and Kurumi

A missing beater bat with its own flyer?

It really WAS a circus.

"Not to insult anyone's intelligence here, but... who is Archer? And have you tried a Summoning Spell on the bat? Most bats don't have legs, so it really can't have wandered too far." She suspected the girl had really just left it at home under her bed.

"True heroism is remarkably sober and very undramatic." To quote the famous professional tennis player. Kurumi really didn't need to go into more details about how dramatic this entire thing had been, right?

Poor creatures....it had probably been the most stressful way to start a journey to Hogwarts.


Turning around now and slightly shaking her head in Gideon's direction, Kurumi just now noticed that he was with someone else. A transfer student maybe? She looked to be about the same age as Kurumi, but she knew now that appearances could be deceiving.

For all Kurumi knew this blonde girl could be a time sucker too.

"Archer is an owl," Kurumi said with a heavy sigh. An owl that was back in his cage now, right? RIGHT?! As for the bat... "She tried summoning it when she was back at home, but without knowing the proper location and distance, sort of makes performing said charm worthless." Or Selina had had enchantments placed on her precious Beater's bat so that no one could steal it from her using magic...

That actually wouldn't surprise her at all.



He turned at his companion as Genevieve spoke up about what they were being told. Gideon couldn't answer for sure on Archer seeing as he could be any creature around or hidden, but he could about the bat. However Kurumi beat him to it, explaining everything to her and him by default and who Archer was and just what Selina had done in search of her precious possession. Not that the curly-haired boy doubted his girlfriend did everything in her power to find it before taking...drastic measures.

SPOILER!!: Violet

At first, she was a little unsure if it was who she was thinking but as she got closer her confidence grew and the smile upon her lips began to widen rapidly.

"Giddy-eon!" OH drats! She had said his nickname around others and she knew how much Giddy didn't like his nickname, but he tolerated it for her at least. Well...it was too late now, so she continued making her ways towards the now seventh year. OH MERLIN! It was Gideon's final year at Hogwarts! NO! THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE! Now unfortunately, because she had just had that thought cross her mind, there had been a look of panic that had come across her face now.


His thoughts were interrupted as he heard a familiar nickname drift his way, Gideon inwardly cringing at the use of it out in public. Surrounded by all these people who could choose to use it against him. Please don't choose to repeat it, he silently instructed them.

"Um...hey Violet," he greeted the blonde Hufflepuff with an awkward smile. But then he saw the look on her face and thought she was upset. "What is it?"


SPOILER!!: Selina and Genevieve

They didn't seem to realize that climbing on top of trains was an extremely dangerous ordeal. The redhead had never seen first year road kill, but climbing aboard the top of a train was the quickest way to get to that end.

Then, when Kurumi said that they all would be punished, Selina visibly smirked. Heh. And then their punishment made Selina smirk even more. Their silly little adventure had distracted her from her mission to hand out her flyers and now they were going to help make the wrongs right. It would save her a little time if she had firsties doing all of her dirty work.

But before she could hand over the flyers to all of the firsties another voice interrupted her. Looking up she saw her boyfriend approaching AND a brand new face. She supposed this was not the best way to meet someone. Selina must have looked half insane with flyers up to her nose as she yelled at first years to get off the bloody train. It was not that Selina was insane, she was just eclectic.

So she nodded at her boyfriend and said, "First years were scalling the train. Chasing after their pets or something stupid like that. So we had to get them down. And now I'm handing out flyers for Mortimer," then she turned to looked at the new face, "Hello there. I'm Selina.". She reached down and handed the girl a flyer, "By the way, have you seen him?" Finding her bat was of the upmost importance.

Then the rude firsties demanded their flyers. Snapping her head around she eyed the first year and said, "I've never hit a kid before, but there is a first time for everything.". She wasn't serious, but this kid was REALLY getting on her nerves. Who did they think they were being so rude?

So she just handed them all some flyers and waved them off. "There you go then, okay?" Go hand them out my minions. Find him! Mortimer needed his Mommy.

Once that was all settled away she looked at Kurumi and said, "Thanks Rumi. I've just been worried sick."

"So we were all running around like crazy snarfles because the predatory bird was in danger of being eaten by creatures that couldn't follow it if it flew away?" See... that was one of those 'not really a drama' type things that just confused the heck out of her. Was it worth the excitement?

Still, she hated that the wannabe heroes were left feeling like doing the right thing was a bad choice. She leaned in to the flyer-hander-outerer and gave a casual wink. "True heroism is not getting caught, kid."



"Genevieve," she accepted the flyer, letting her eyes flicker briefly to the words. A bat named Mortimer? They were all crazy. Perhaps something in the water, or maybe the fumes from the train... or the Scottish winters! That was enough to drive people straight to madness, wasn't it?

"Erm... it looks like you lost the bat on Diagon Alley, which is quite a distance from here and would have an entirely different pool of suspects." Then again... students shopping on Diagon Alley, students shopping here. Genevieve could play ball with Crazy. No big deal. "Ahem. Does your bat have any distinguishing characteristics? Is there any motive to speak of?"



Then Selina responded, further explaining what had happened with both the students trying to climb aboard the train and with her missing beater bat. Well one situation seemed to be rectified, now all they had to do was figure out what had happened with the other. When the redhead introduced herself to the new girl who had walked up beside him, Gideon had the decently to seem mildly appologetic to both girls for not introducing them. Of course they were quite capable to doing it themselves and did.

Now if only he could rectify the situation of his girlfriend NOT seeming completely out of her mind.
