SPOILER!!: from the tapestry

Was that? Could it be? AJ stopped and stared for a full minute with her mouth gaping open at the scene in front of her.

"PEBBLES!!!" The shock was still there, and it was taking her a moment to fully gather her thoughts. "What on earth are you doing here?" Okay, she was being mental. This was a rock for crying out loud. A rock that had her head of house on edge...

SHE HAD BEEN THE ONE TO FIND PEBBLES.

Think, Valentine. She was so elated that all she could do was screech and jump around. Airey was going to be SO happy, and she was going to be the one responsible for that. Erm... how exactly was she supposed to go about this? If she left, something might happen to Pebbles or somebody might try and steal her glory. SHE had found him. Back up everybody else.

Could she scream loud enough for Airey to hear her all the way to the seventh floor? Probably, but what if he wasn't even there? AJ didn't want to mess this up. This was a possible crime scene.

Help?

So sad sad sad was Schmoop that the elf did not see the rock in the middle. Did not see the missing Pebbles. Did not notice when the pet shifted as more webs were cleaned away and it fell free...

... and conked poor Schmoopsie on his ickle elfie head.

"Ooooowwwwwwwwww..." Schmoop did sit down underneath the webby tapestry and rub the new bumb on his poor head.

Thankfully he had been able to keep his sneezing from getting too out of control. The Gryffindor didn't fancy another trek to the hospital wing for more potions.

He had come to the tapestry where he had he had hung another of his posters, only to see that it too had fallen victim to the cobwebs. It wasn't going to get anyone's attention that way, supposed to be garnishing support and help in finding Pebbles."Hey..." he said, as he noticed AJ there as well. What was she looking at? But before he could ask her, a house-elf appeared. Maybe he or she would finally start cleaning up the area. At least that's what appeared to be its purpose in being around here. However his attention was gotten when something fell and hit the poor creature on the head.

What in Merlin's beard?

"Are you alright?" he asked concerned. The sixth year thenn moved to investigate, bending down to get a closer look. Benny's eyes widdened as he recognized what it was, picking up the pet rock. "Pebbles!" Benny looked to AJ almost incredulously. "You found her."

Her pebbles. Well, not technically hers, but nobody was raining on her parade. Then the elf knocked Pebbles down. "Oh no. Are you okay?" She bent down to make sure the elf wasn't going to pass out on her or anything. No extra drama, please.

Hearing a familiar voice, AJ turned her head to see Benny. Oh, thank the sweet baby unicorns. "I'm so glad to see you." Oh yeah. She had forgotten for just a tiny moment when the elf was hurt. "I... I guess I did."

"I was hunting spiders because my other ones need some new friends. I'm trying to set up a nice play date when I stumbled upon her. Cool, huh?" Benny would know what to do. "I wasn't sure if I should leave her or bring her with me, or... what if Airey needs to see her here?" Rambling, she was.

AJ had found their head of house's pet rock...what role did he have in that? Other than showing up after her and picking Pebbles up off the floor after she was knocked down by the cleaning house-elf. Benny was going to leave it be though, which proved to work since as he listened to his friend describe how she had come upon the pet rock, it seemed it might have been the presence of help that she was glad for.

"I had been coming to check on my poster with the cobwebs growing around..." he said, explaining his own presence as he absently posted at the work. Not that it was needed now that the purpose of the poster had been negated by the presence of the rock in his hand. The issue of what exactly to do still lingered in the situation though. "Part of me thinks Flamsteed will just be exstatic to see her either way," Benny mused with a shrug.

Did they really need to worry about where she was found?

But on his feet he got and leaned on the wall. "Master Professor will be very very happies. Brings Pebbles to Master Professor and Schmoop will clean."

Because webbies. So many webbies.

How funny was it that Pebbles was right where the poster was. Life was weird. Surely she hadn't been there the whole time. Otherwise Benny would have noticed. Such a shame too. She would be majorly bummed out if she were him. Just a moment sooner and he would have the Pebbles finding glory.

He had a point. "You're right. You're right. You're right." Bouncing up and down was happening again. Her excitement level was off the charts. She was beamy, flaily, and beyond happy. Airey was going to be SO proud of her. AJ reached over and took Pebbles from out of his hands, and stuck her in her back pocket. They wouldn't be forgetting who had actually found him, yes? Ahem.

"Let's go," she said as she looped arms with Benny and started to drag him towards where she hoped her head of house would be.

At least he...Schmoop...picked their ultimate option for them wven as AJ agreed with his musings. "Seee..." Go to Flamsteed and make the professor a happy man again. That would be good news for them all.

AJ was clearly excited now, her bouncing giving her away before he random repeating of phrases. Ah when one sister seemed as hyper as the other. What were he and Adi mixed up in? Benny was brought back to the present as the younger lion took the pet rock from him like he was unsafe. Whatever. But it was the looped arms and pulling of his extremity that got him moving again. "I'm coming," he assured her as he allowed his longer-legged stride to catch up and ease the pulling.

Off to the astronomy tower.

Running, screeching, flailing, panting and clinging was how she made her way up to the Astronomy tower. At one point in time she was running SO fast that she tripped. Had it not of been for her still clinging on to Benny, she would have ate it. HARD. Imagine falling on her butt with a Pebbles in her back pocket. Ouch. Not to mention that Pebbles could have cracked, and then she would have to dispose of the pet rock for good. Then there were too many witnesses. Benny was one of her best friends, and she was sure he would cover her, but the elf... what was she supposed to do? Her thoughts were getting too intense. Did other people think like this?

Deciding that it was too hard to keep up the pace with a boy that not only was older and taller, had way longer legs than her, she let go of his arm. Thinking, running, and clinging was too much, okay? What did people expect from her? There was a reason why she wasn't in Ravenclaw. That was no mistake.

They were getting closer which meant it was an appropriate time to start hollering at the top of her lungs.

"Prooooofessssorrrrr..."

Gasp. She was out of breath. Too many tacos lately. Merlin. She hadn't put on any weight, but the dense taco meat was really doing a number on her breathing right now. Or it could be that she just went up a million stairs at break neck speed.

They were there. His office was in sight. She ran straight to the door without taking any notice of whether or not there were other people there.

BANG, BANG, BANG.

Come onnnn... she really didn't want to just barge it, but she was thinking about it.

"Professor head of house, sir"

AJ clutched her side and sucked in air. Now that she had stopped completely, she was realizing that she was about to die. That was a bit dramatic, but the girl wouldn't say no to some water.
