Granted, she had spoken only two or three words to the guy maybe her ENTIRE time here at Hogwarts, but he seemed like a decent kid. He just happened to be the star each and every time, which was so RANDOM. What made it even weirder was what HAPPENED in the dreams.

Every time he showed up into her dreams, he turned into an animal. It was a different animal every time - a zebra once, an ostrich another time, a platypus in another version - and whenever it happened, her dream self would freak out and it would be revealed that she had to brew an antidote, or he would be stuck in that form forever. She was in a different place every time, and the potion ingredients she needed made ZERO sense - in one dream, she needed a rubber duck to complete the potion - and she could never find the ingredients. So she woke up, shaking and sweating and afraid that she had let the Head Boy down. Then she would remember it was just a dream, the Head Boy was (probably) NOT transfigured into an ostrich somewhere, and she would eventually fall back asleep.

Maybe it was some sort of repressed fear of disappointing her parents, or failing her upcoming Potions NEWT, or something like that. Whatever it was, it was freaky and she was hoping these weird dreams would pass soon. If they didn't she'd have to start taking Calming Draughts before bed or something, which was not ideal.

After another one of these dreams during her nap today - he had been an electric eel this time, which was TOTALLY bizarre - she wandered down to the Grounds for some much needed fresh air. She wanted to savor as much of this cool, crisp fall air before winter came. She settled down near the lake and smiled as the breeze hit her face. Ahh. Already much better.
Tenacius has been having a really weird past few weeks....

First were his pajamas where apparently, after some mess up with the laundry, came back all stripey. Black and white stripey even. He looked like a prison inmate!

Some time later he walked into a Firsties pillow fight who suddenly thought it would be a fabulous idea to gang up on the lone Head Boy, to which he walked away with so much feathers all over him he feels he was still coughing them out of his lungs.

Another time he was rushing to his next class when an errant spell bounced off from somewhere, his robes turned into a wide, furry wet suit with with a big flat tail dragging behind him, his shoes turned into flippers. Suffice it to say he had quite some explaining to do with the Professor, other than the fact that he was really late.

Just now he accidentally sat on one of those prank handshake shockers and got himself electrocuted.

So here he is now, outside, where he hopes he can break the streak of these bizarre series of unfortunate events. Because all of those happened indoors and now he's outdoors right? He saw Scarlett sat by his favorite spot by the lake and plopped down not too far from her. "Hi!" he waved casually as he sighed and looked out onto the calmness of the lake.
