Leaving the courtyard corridor, you will find yourself in an enclosed, squared courtyard. It is covered with bright green grass with various plants placed around the stone walls. This is the perfect place for meeting friends, or a chance of fresh air whilst catching up with your homework. There are plenty of stone benches placed around the area, too!
After maybe spending a whole day sleeping, Paloma took the courage and headed downstairs, to finally live the school life again. Once after eating breakfast, she took her little trip towards the outside, to see what she hadn't in months...after the big ice age and practically almost fleeing out of Hogwarts once the term had ended. Also, her cat Vader was following her...as creepy as you may imagine.
Out of her purse, she took her Magic of History textbook and some notes she had scribbed over and over, then followed by looking at the Astronomy notepad from the previous term. Studying had to start...

Tessa had found her way to the great outdoors, she laid down in the ground, looking up at the sky. Tessa soon found herself getting tired, and more tired. A little nap wouldn't kill anyone.

BOYFRIEND. Marigold spotted her favorite specimen of the male species and CARTWHEELED over to him, landing bumpily next to him and she might have toppled onto his laugh too.
She stretched out onto his lap and put a bunch of her hair on his chin for tickles.

Isla had been previous in the corridor and finally had spotted one of her friends, Paloma! She watched as the girl pulled out what it seemed to be notes and she laughed to herself. Such a Ravenclaw. She jumped out of the window that she was previously sitting on and ran over to where Paloma was. She basically jumped over and plopped down perfectly on the stone bench right next to her friend.

"Studying already, hmm?" She teased.
Paloma jumped at Isla's call and comment about her, already studying. She nodded, and sighed profoundly. "I am. It's weird, but right now all these notes are making sense. I think I was writing when half asleep, but all...'' she shivered and took a deep breath. She was not going to be the nerdy self in front of Isla. So, she finally turned to see her, closed her books and notepads, and smiled to her.
"So. What have you been up to, dear Isla?'' She raised her eyebrow, as she spotted her kitten not far away from Isla's hand, as if he was ready to attack....

Tessa had found her way to the great outdoors, she laid down in the ground, looking up at the sky. Tessa soon found herself getting tired, and more tired. A little nap wouldn't kill anyone.
Leonard had just been exploring the castle, wondering what he'd find. What he didn't expect to find in one of the courtyards was Tessa, and he wasn't exactly sure whether she was awake or asleep when he found her.
Nevertheless he wandered over to her, sitting himself beside her and just maintaining a silence for a moment. "Hey" he offered, finally, not really sure whether that was the right thing to say or not... or if she'd even heard him..."How are you feeling?"
That was a better way to start a conversation... if she was awake...
Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Samantha sat down on the grass with her sketchbook and box of pencils. She was needing some time to think and drawing always made her feel relaxed. She looked at the castle and began drawing. She was lost in her own world but if anyone wanted her company, she didn't mind.

Penelope wanted to find a good spot to sit on the grass and draw. Sitting outside and drawing was relaxing. Seeing one of the older Ravenclaw girls (Samantha), she walked over to her, sat down on the grass, and pulled out her own sketchbook and pencils. "Mind if I sit here?"

Isla tried to look down at Paloma's notes and couldn't even read parts of them either. "Yeah, maybe you were half asleep because I can't even tell if this is English or not." She shook her head. She glanced back down at it again and still couldn't figure it all out. She had days like that though. When something was on her mind or she was just plain tired, she could be in class, but not actually paying attention. Those days were the worst.
The brunette watched as Paloma closed her books and notes and was about to ask why she didn't keep studying but decided against it. It was good not to study just yet...right? "Hmm...just trying to get over stuff I guess." She shrugged. "Mainly eating donuts and wandering around. How about you, dear Paloma?" She said, mimicking Paloma's 'dear' phrase. She then watched as Paloma's gaze wasn't even at her but at something else. Isla looked down and saw a cat who didn't seem to like her because it looked like it was going to attack. She scooted a little bit away and laughed. "Is this your cat?"

Samantha looked at Penelope and smiled. "No, I don't mind. Please feel free to sit here." She noticed that Penelope had her own art supplies and she was so happy to see a fellow artist. "I see you are a fan of art as well, Penny. Oops, am I allowed to call you that?" She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sighed. "Have you seen the Ravenclaw hourglass?" she asked, sadly.

Tessa's eyes flew open and she shot up to a upright position. She turned to look at the voice that had addressed her, it seemed so familiar. Leo. "Hi," she replied, she was honestly surprised that she had found him again so soon, but it was a good thing and she was happy about it. Now what had he said, she thought for a moment and then remembered before saying, "I'm okay! just got really tired and warm and peaceful I guess. Didn't expect to sleep. What about you, Leo? How was the feast? Got enough friends in your new house? Your in Gryffindor right?" She leaned back a bit and turned her head up towards the sky.

He couldn't help but laugh a bit at the way that she shot up quickly, but tried to stop as quickly as possible, just grinning at her instead.
"I'm great" he said with a grin. "We had a bit of a house party after the feast when we got back to the common room so I'm a bit tired but otherwise just great" he really was, and despite being tired he was literally living off of the excitement that he was currently living off of his excitement. "Yeah I'm in Gryffindor, thanks to the House Party managed to find a couple of people, first years as well as a couple of others... what about you?" he questioned in response, after explaining his own situation.
Truly he was loving Hogwarts though, even though they hadn't been here long.

"Oomph." Someone was on his lap. Mitchell smiled without opening his eyes. He knew who it was. "Hey Goldilocks." he greeted. "Good to see your--"
But his thoughts were interrupted.
He started sitting up and swatting at whatever was on his face. It felt hairy. Like a hairy... ... hair. He opened an eye to confirm his suspicions. Thanks for that girlfriend.

Marigold GRIIIINNED at Farmer-Boy's reaction. She put her hair across his face as a mustache, then twisted it up at the ends. Very French looking.
"If you ever grow a mustache, use my hair. It matches your eyes."
...this was her being oh-so-romantic, yep. And she waited for what exactly he was happy to see. Her face? Grin.

She smiled, that's good that he was doing well. "We had a party as well, Thorton is interesting, showed him the wonders of peach rings!" she exclaimed, "come lay down with me then!" She patted the ground next to her. "I've met a few first-years, a few seconds and a bunch of others. The other claws are terribly nice," she exclaimed. "I've found this room, up by astronomy and they have this piano. I love the room," she explained. "I wish we were in the same house," she sighed.

Penelope smiled at Samantha. It was nice to have a wonderful girl like Samantha as a housemate and fellow artist. Penny. The name sounded strange to Penelope. No one ever called her Penny except her little sister Isabel, and Isa was still learning how to say Penelope. "I don't know. No one ever calls me Penny, except my little sister. She started calling me Penny before she could say Penelope." She sighed sadly. "Who broke the hourglass?" They didn't really have negative points, did they? What had someone done to lose points at the start of term feast? How could they have negative points? Did the hourglass even show negative points?

Samantha wasn't too sure if she should refer to Penelope as Penny. "I'll call you Penelope. I mean, after all if family members only call you Penny then we'll leave it at that."
Samantha nodded sadly when Penelope asked about the hourglass. "Our fellow Ravenclaw Abby Valentine slapped her sister Angel who is in Gryffindor hard across the face at the start of term feast and Angel retaliated. I think it was over a Gryffindor boy. They are sort of spending time cooling down. Hopefully, things will right themselves soon."
Noel didn't trust it - the sun and the pleasant weather, that is. After the previous term, he was skeptical. He was sure something BAD will happen eventually, like perhaps it'll rain for 40 days straight.
Walking out in the courtyard, the thirteen year old walked around, enjoying the nice day but NOT trusting it AT ALL.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
The snow storm better stayed away this year because Kevin wanted to catch up his missed time outside. Which wasn't possible of course but he could try. He held a tennis ball in his hand as he entered the courtyard. He sat down on one of the benches near the wall and began to throw the ball in the air and catching it.

Angel decided that she was going to walk around just spending sometime on her own whilst thinking about a few things. She was walking around when suddenly she saw Kevin. "Hey Kevin." Angel gave him a friendly wave and smile. "How are you today?" Angel went over and looked at him. "And did you have a great summer?" Angel hadn't seen him for ages.

That someone said his name was just weird. People usually ignored him and he didn't have many friends. Only one ...perhaps two? so hearing his name being called out made him look up with a questioned look on his face. When he saw the source of the voice he sighed a bit before he continued to throw the tennis ball in the air and catching it, obviously ignoring the wave she had sent.
How was his summer? Horrible, he couldn't get out of the house half the time since his parents found out he had gotten in to trouble so many times. It was his own fault though...he had tried to boast about it and the reaction was not expected. Some people were no fun. "Why do you care about my summer? its just summer break, big deal" he answered while rolling his eyes, which meant he dropped the ball and it bounced away from him and rolled over the grass. "Aww man" he groaned.

Angel looked at Kevin as he ignored the wave that she had sent him, normally she would just leave the person alone but she didn't like seeing people on their own when the weather was so perfect. "I was just wondering how it was." Angel said truthfully as she watched him roll his eyes at her, she didn't care about that she was going to continue being nice to him after all she was the friendly sort.
Angel watched as Kevin dropped the ball. "I'll get it." Angel ran over and picked up the ball before passing it back to Kevin. "Hey Kevin, I'm great at throwing a ball you know." Angel didn't want to boast but her sister had taught her because she loved baseball, so Angel just normally threw the ball for her sister to bat and she had got pretty good at it.

To be honest, the only reason Grayson was out here in the courtyard was because of how great it felt to be outdoors at Hogwarts. Not because of the weather -- which was surprisingly nice, especially for a day in September up north. Suspicious? He was.
Grayson strutted his way over towards an empty bench and sat down with as much suave as he could muster. He didn't have much on him; no homework, no books, nothing that was considered BORING, in fact. All he carried around in his leisurely walk was a large packet of Bertie Botts beans that he proceeded to rip open. A bean was taken out, tossed up in the air and...........
................... bounced off of his face and onto the floor.
"Freaking son of a snitch!" Was he NEVER going to get this right?!
Rubbing the side of his nose was currently happening, obscuring his vision from whoever was nearby. Were there kids nearby? Were they about to hear his mutterings of words he would NOT say in front of his mother? Did he even care?
