Oh, there was the rest of her story but did he really need to hear it? Well, she had to give her explanation of things. "You know," she began with gossip, "I heard that Christian and Mallory are dating." She placed a bite of food in her mouth and began to chew. At least she didn't have to explain her mean actions and poor excuse of letting Christian know her heart belonged to someone else. Think of something else! "And I have a new friend. Her name is Agie and she is the best." She began to giggle as now she had completely changed the subject three times.

Fabian smiled inwardly as Lyra began eating, very good. He's done his work smoothly, or so he thought. But she agreed to his terms and that made him slightly suspicious, no arguments? back off? girl tantrums? That was easy wasn't it. He started scooping food onto his plate, yet shiftily glancing at Lyra once she initiated a conversation.

"I guess that means we won't call on him this summer" he teased with a slight chuckle, "he's a good kid Christian. Promising future. And is that Agie, the Gryffindor Captain Agie? Now thats a great choice you made. She's a good lass, could teach you a thing or two" he mused with a grin.

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra looked up as Fabian spoke of calling Christian for the summer. "Well, we still could call him but Christian and I are just friends, nothing more." She took another bite of food as Fabian spoke of Agie. Oh he knew who she was and she nearly spit her food out as he spoke of Agie teaching her a thing or two. Boy! Was he ever right about that, just not what he thought. She began to cough as if she were choking on something. Well, she was...her food. She quickly reached for her juice and took a drink.

"Oh she already has," she spoke sweetly as her eyes glanced at Fabian, giving that sweet innocent look that she always gave him. "She is quite a character and...speaking of calling over a couple of friends, I would love to invite both Agie and Josh over if we could. I mean, what harm could be done in that?" She took in a deep breath as she knew the possibilities of harmful things that could happen but it would not include Josh, it would include Agie.

Lyra looked towards the door wishing now that Josh was in here. "I know the paint spell, which I can do and then you can handle the sticking charm." She giggled as she placed her hands up to her face and pulled out her wand.

"Okay, little buddy," she said to Fex making sure that he was not going to move very far. She pulled out her wand and aimed it towards the goat. "Lokhutrix," she said as different colours emerged from the end of her want and falling like pixie dust, colouring Fex like a rainbow. She then placed her hands back to her face and wanted to cry because he looked so pretty.

"Okay! Now we have to get Josh in here," she said as she walked over to the door. "Follow my lead and don't let anyone see you." She opened the door slightly and spoke out in a deep voice that matched Fabian's. "Josh, come inside and make sure it is only you."

Originally Posted by Josh

He made sure no one else got in as he looked around the office. "what are you guys doing?" he asked as they were trouble.

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra quickly locked the door behind Josh and began to giggle once more. "We are causing trouble as usual," she giggled as she walked over to him, grabbed his hand and pointed towards Fex, who now wore his pretty rainbow colours. "Agie here just has to set the the colours so that they do not run and will stay for....quite some time." She reached up and kissed his cheek. "Aren't you proud? I am."

Originally Posted by Agie

Agie opened her mouth in shock as Lyra did the colour spell. "OH My Gosh!" She giggled. "I definitely say that is an improvement." Agie nodded. She was very impressed with Lyra's wand work.

Agie wanted Josh inside as well. She stood back and giggled silently at her imitation of Fabian. It was pretty good.

She laughed as Josh came in with a terrified look on his face. "Watch!" SHe winked, and Agie aimed her wand at Fex and used a sticking charm on him. "There! That should keep him colourful for a while. Months even." She snickered.

Looking towards Lyra and Josh, her grin widened as a thought came to her mind. "We could sign our master piece now!" She grinned.

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra giggled then moved to clapping her hands together. "Oh I'm so proud Agie. He looks so..." she paused as she made a face like she was going to cry. "Beautiful!" She threw her head back with laughter once more but then stopped short. "Now how would we sign our master piece? What is the best way?" She was now curious once more as Agie came up with yet another brilliant idea.

Originally Posted by Agie

Agie laughed along with Lyra. "Me to! Our best work yet." She said, as she grabbed the pouch around her neck that Josh gave her and started searching deep within the pouch. She had so many things to sort trough, including the love potions Josh and her had make. "Hmmm...I know it's in here somewhere." She said, nibbling on her bottom lip. Her hand finally found what she was looking for. "Ah ha!" She exclaimed, holding a thin object in her hand. "I bought this one day at a muggle store. It is called a permanent marker. It's like a quill you see." She explained. "You just take this lid thingy off and start writing....I'm not sure how exactly permanent it is, so we can use the sticking charm again to make sure." She giggled, and handed the marker over to Lyra. "You first!" She smirked. If Lyra did it first, Fex would probably let Agie write on him as well.

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra laughed for a moment and took the marker from Agie. "Hmmm," she thought to herself as her eyes looked towards the ceiling. She tapped the marker to her chin and then smiled...slyly of course. What other way would there be. She walked over to where Fex was and bent down on her knees, petting his head and once again giving him her favorite mohawk.

Once she noticed that he was going to be okay with her at his side, she pulled the lid off the marker and began to write.

Lyra luvs Fex and his mohawks


She stood back up and handed the marker to Agie. "I was going to put Lyra was here, but thought against it." She began to giggle as she thought of the look on her uncle's face.

They were getting into trouble...and they were going to sign him to prove it. " You know because you are signing it...everyone will know who did it. Not very sneaky." he said to them. " and its called a sharpie agie. DONT! sniff it." he told them both.

"Why would someone want to sniff the..." looks at pen "marker...sharpie...thingy?" She looked to Fex once more and smiled.

Originally Posted by Josh

He then moved to give him a mohawk. He used a spell to make it red. " awesome.. oh wait." he said as he moved to dig into his bag as he pulled out some sunglasses. he moved to put it on fex as he chuckled." Yep now you are good." he told him as he chuckled again. he looked at lyra as she asked about the marker." um.. nevermind." he said as he had been hanging around muggles to much. he looked at the two as he then said." you two get next to fex. i'll take your picture." he said with a smile.

Originally Posted by Agie

She went over to Fex and keeled beside him. And wrote next to Lyra's writing..

Agie will wash Fex anytime!

She giggled as she got out her wand and placed a sticking charm on what they had written. "There! All done." She said, as she stepped back to admire their beautiful work.

Agie smirked at Josh. 'Did you want to write something?" She giggled. "And don't you see, Lyra and I don't care if we get into any more trouble." She smirked. "Term is nearly over! And they are not pansy colours!!! Fex looks great, and he loves it." Agie said poking our her tongue and turning to Fex, 'Don't you just love the new look Fex!"

Agie giggled as Josh made his own touches to Fex! "ooohh that looks awesome Josh!' Agie grabbed Lyra's hand and moved closer to Fex. "Awesome! A photo to always remember!" She smirked.

Maybe Double oh Seven will ..." he thought." see i have nothing." he said as he looked at the two. he chuckled as he loved the sunglasses on fex. he pulled out his muggle digital camera.He was glad that it was solar powered so he wouldnt have to worry about batteries. "Smile my troubles." he teased them both. He moved to take a photo. he grinned as he looked at the two. This was priceless. "one more. Funny faces. maybe fex will have his tongue sticking out too." he said as he let them get their faces and took another picture. he laughed as he was amused by this all.

"I love what you put!!" She gleamed from ear to ear. "Oh a picture with Fex...come on Agie," she said as Agie grabbed her hand. "Oh wait..." she moved to put her arm around Agie and leaned against Fex in a sassy pose. "Make it as sassy as you can Agie. This is going to be one to remember." Now she wished she had a pair of sunglasses as well to sport.

Originally Posted by Agie

She couldn't wait to see these photos!. "We should send a photo to Fabian after" She laughed. "Ok I think we should start to leave. We can't be seen in here. Especially at the state of this room." She said.

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra giggled as Josh moved in between them. She reached over and placed her hand around his waist and began to giggle a bit more. She waited a bit for the flash to come and..."Cheeeesecaakee," she grinned with a sassy look as she then reached to pull him to her in a kiss. Oh wouldn't Fabian be proud of that picture.

Fabian kept rubbing his temple, each passing minute was closer to meeting Macadrian again and if she wasn't so unpredictable he would have been able to handle it, but no. He had to chase after the mysterious of the lot.

"I hope so Max, lets hope her face doesn't explode with any sort of reaction or I'm doomed" he looked at his friend with a crooked smile, "or we're doomed" he broke into a chuckle and started unlocking the door. "No didn't go that far down, I tell you i get lost in her eyes - " he broke off with a small scream as the door swung open and he came face to face with Fex, well not Fex his goat but someone like him, or maybe him only dressed up for a party.

"Someone is ready for a party" he squeaked, eyes unable to leave his Fex.

Originally Posted by Max

"Lost in her eyes? Mate, you should check out her long legs," Max grinned and wondered why Fabian suddenly screamed like a woman. Then he saw Fex - rainbow colors, red mohawk and his eyes shielded with sunglasses. "Oh, man . . . sure hope you have enough goat shampoo."

Originally Posted by Fabian

"Blimey i sure hope so Max!" Fabian shook his head, he was sure his face was still masked with horror, "I told him to stay away from that hound, messed his mind that did" he took a few steps closer then took half a circle around his goat.

"Oh Lyra" he groaned, "and Agie. What have you done" he continued to bite out, those two minxes were in trouble for playing this on Fex. He brought a hand closer to rub the goat's skin, and pixie powder stuck to his finger, his lips turned into a growing grin as he looked at Max, "nothing water can't wash off. Smart girls.. thing Mac will the idea of Fex in sunglasses giving her the chocolates?"

Originally Posted by Max

"Good idea," Max laughed and wondered if Macadrian would be offended by the presence of Fex. "But I think you should first confront Lyra and Agie about this prank on a harmless goat."

Originally Posted by Fabian

"I don't know" Fabian replied patting his hand against his trouser to remove any dust remaining on his fingers and palm. "I've got two reasons to not confront them now, the first is that by the time I find them, Macadrian would have finished grading and left the staff room. The second, is that those two minxes might trail us and end up knowing about Macadrian" he furrowed his brow as he ended the line, "next thing you know their painting her office".

Originally Posted by Max

"We bring the evidence to the feast," Max said and looked at poor Fex. "After confronting the troublesome two-some, then you talk to Macadrian. Besides, a multi-colored mohawked goat is a great conversation starter."

Originally Posted by Fabian

Fabian quirked a brow at Max, he was still hesitant, but painting a creature was beyond comprehension and those two girls need to be addressed. "Alright, confront the girls then find Macadrian" he surrendered then pointed a finger at Fex, "you ought to not leave my toe for the remainder of the night. Or I'll ban you from visiting that hound friend of yours".

Originally Posted by Max

"Let me arrive at the feast before you appear with Fex in tow," Max said as he scratched his chin. "I'll get the guilty party together at the Gryffindor table. Sound good?"

Originally Posted by Fabian

"Sure Max, you go ahead. Fex is a slow walker, by the time we reach the Great Hall you should have enough time to nail those two witches" he grunted, he was sure he needed to keep an eye on the goat while they walked. Just in case he started licking or sniffing at the colorful dust.

Originally Posted by Max

"Okay, then" Max grinned and headed back out of the office. "If you want, I can keep Macadrian occupied while you deal with the troublesome twosome. Perhaps keep her distracted." It was at that moment that he knew exactly how to distract her and help Fabian woo the leggy professor.

Originally Posted by Fabian

"Um" Fabian gulped, he wasn't sure what Max had in mind, " sure, if its taking long distract away Max!" he walked out of this after him shiftily eying Fex as he followed. Honestly, he didn't look too bad with the sunglasses, he only looked too cool.

Anna was starting to drift off a little when she heard a noise coming from low on the floor. She looked down just in time to see a creature...a furry creature of some kind...scurry into a bag on the floor. Noticing that the monkey was near Kerry, Anna reached over and tapped Kerry on the shoulder.

Anna nodded down to the paper bag, hoping Kerry would take notice.

All this talk of mermaids and the enchanted room around her was very surreal. It was like the class was taking place in the lake, and Kerry was waiting for a mermaid to swim by them and tell them they were all fools for what they were saying and give a first hand lesson herself.

Suddenly Kerry felt something brush up against her leg. She swore it felt furry, and it made Kerry shriek as she jumped out of her seat!!

As she jumped, she felt someone give her a tap on the shoulder which freaked her out anymore. Kerry let out another scream, and turned to see it was just Anna. "Oh, I'm sorry." she said breathlessly. "I swore I felt something creep along my leg. Did you see it? What was it?" Kerry asked scrambling around to see if there was something creepy crawly around her.

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 (Post 6462209)

Anna was torn between wanting to yell out something about there being a furry creature in the bag and worried that she would cause her house to lose points if she did.

"Erm....the...bag...," Anna whispered, trying to draw Kerry's attention to the bag on the floor.

Curt scanned the area around her and didn't see anything so he just shrugged before facing the Professor once again. Sadly, he knew very little about merpeople and was quite horrid at dealing with magical creatures all together. He just stared blankly at the Professor, turning around to look at Kerry every now and then.

Curt looked back again in astonishment as the Gryffindor first year pointed out that something was in the bag that was near to Kerry. Curts eyebrows perked up slightly as his first idea was Savannah's cat Tiger, that little monster was always up to trouble. He got up from his seat and walked over to it, "I think I know who this is." Curt said, knealing down next to the bag. "You want to unveil it?" he asked the Gryffindor prefect with a grin, she did seem quite freaked out.

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 (Post 6462221)

Anna squirmed in her seat, looking back and forth between the professor, her prefect, and the...THING. The bag rustled again, and Anna jumped in her seat, knocking a book to the ground with a loud CRASH. Swallowing hard out of nervousness and sinking down into her chair, Anna stared at Kerry, trying to figure out what to do.

Originally Posted by shortfry (Post 6462223)

Kerry's heart was still racing, as she was readying herself to drop to the floor and search for whatever it was she was now sure brushed against her, when she heard Anna whisper something. "What?! What are you trying to tell me? What about my bag?" Kerry asked impatiently, her mind still racing.

Kerry looked down at her bag cautiously. Suddenly it moved on it's own. Kerry jumped back again and gasped. "Did you see that? The bag! It moved! Did anyone see that? There's something in there! My bag is moving!" she cried out, glaring around the room to see who might have put something in her bag.

"I'm not revealing it. If you want something creepy and crawly to jump out at you, by all means go ahead." Kerry said to the Hufflepuff boy. She readied her wand at the bag just in case she needed to stun it in protection of herself or the boy.

A loud CRASH made Kerry jump again. "For the love of...." Kerry began as she turned around flashing her wand behind her. "Oooh, it was just a book," Kerry began to laugh nervously as she realized how silly she was starting to look.

Anna reached down to pick up her book that had landed near the creature. Kerry was now yelling, and several students had turned around to look. Gwen was going on about kappas, creatures Anna HOPED were not actually in the bag. Peering down for a closer look, Anna waited to see if the...whatever...would come out.

"Ok! Now I know I'm not the only one who heard that!" Kerry said aloud to the class. "There is definitely something there! I know there was nothing in that bag but some books, quills and parchment when I got here, so who wants to tell me what they put in here?" Kerry asked as she turned back and focused her wand on the bag.

"A problem?" Kerry laughed, glad that she was finally starting to calm down. "Yeah you can call a screetching, moving bag a problem. Uh oh... Ummm..." Kerry suddenly thought, "You don't think it's one of those animals that has been running around the grounds and castle?"

Kerry bent down a bit closer to her bag, but was cautious not to get to close. "Should I open it Professor?" she asked.

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 (Post 6462261)

Anna continued to lean and lean and lean. She was finally face to face with the bag. She gently guided her hand closer and closer to the bag, pausing only to look at Kerry to check her reaction.

Anna's fingers finally touched the edge of the bag, and she tugged on it just a bit.

She hoped that Agie hadn't eaten all the bananas from the time they left the lake to the time they had arrived in class otherwise, they would have to come up with Plan B and quick.

Originally Posted by shortfry (Post 6462274)

"A monkey?" Kerry asked turning quickly towards Savannah. "Are you sure?" Kerry laughed in surprise.

"How did a monkey get in my bag.? She wondered aloud.

Turning back towards the front of the class, Kerry shook her head still smirking. "I swear professor I didn't bring a monkey to class! If I had, I would have at least brought some bananas to keep it quiet til I let it loose on the class." Kerry joked trying to make light of the situation.

"So again? Any ideas on what you'd like me to do with this little guy? I'm obviously not opening my bag and letting him free now. It seems we've finally inadvertently captured one of these animals."

Seeing Anna get close to the bag and knowing there was a monkey now inside it. Kerry grabbed Anna and pulled her back. "No don't! From what I've heard this is one grumpy, unfriendly monkey. Trust me, you don't want to lose your nose to this thing."

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 (Post 6462279)

Anna let out a small squeal as she felt something touch her hand. The creature let out a small scream, as well, and Anna jumped a bit. Anna felt someone's hand on her back, and she looked up in time to see Kerry pulling her away. "Unfriendly?" Anna questioned. She looked back and forth between Kerry and the monkey, waiting to see what would happen next.

As Kerry peered down at her bag, she saw the monkey throw a quill out the bag and ink slowly drip from it. "Hey! That's my favorite quill and OH NO you didn't you little fur ball!" Kerry yelled out "You opened my ink bottle all over my bag! Wait til I get my hands on you!" Kerry said, grabbing hold of the handles of her bag and holding them closed so the creature couldn't escape.

Kerry turned towards someone calling Agie's name and laughed. "And why would Agie carry bananas with her?" she asked as she turned towards Agie.

"Agie Rae Brandywine! You wouldn't have anything to do with this would you?' she asked glaring at her prankster of a sister.

Kerry heard Anna shriek and turned back towards her. This class had gone completely chaotic in a matter of minutes. "Yes unfriendly! It scratches and bites, it's one antisocial little thing." Kerry said holding her bag away from her so the monkey couldn't reach her through the bag.

Kerry felt the bag roll in her outstretched hands. "This thing is having a party in here!" Kerry said as she heard munching. "Nooooo!! Not my homework!! The monkey is eating my homework." Kerry sighed, "That took me ages to finish! I can just see it now as I go to hand it in... No really Professor a monkey really did eat my homework!"

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 (Post 6462299)

Anna was torn between horror and laughter as she first listened to Kerry threaten the monkey for spilling the ink and then complain about it eating her homework. Anna sighed and dropped her head into her hands in exasperation.

Kerry had now captured the monkey and was holding it hostage inside her bag. The little monkey was surely putting up a fight, though. It was clawing and moving about in a wild manner. Anna hoped the professor would come and help soon.

Kerry heard a sigh behind her, turning she saw Anna with her head down on her desk. "It's not that bad really. At least this is just a grumpy monkey. You should have been in the class when snakes were accidently set free. I'll take a monkey over a snake any time!" Kerry said trying to cheer Anna up as she held the bag steadily trying to to let the monkey escape.

Kerry wanted so badly to just give the bag a good shake and teach the devious creature a good lesson. But seeing as she was a prefect and had caused a big enough scene in the class already, she just grabbed the handles tighter together and clenched her teeth, doing her best not to go after the squirming creature that had taken sanctuary in her bag.

And, then she did it again! 'G'ah!' He was now, officially frightened of Prefect Brandywine. Until he heard her shriek. He turned around in his seat and watched as a chittering animal that some were saying was a monkey, which one way or another had gotten itself into Kerry's bag, had most of the students as his captive audience. Thank goodness it was only a monkey. He was starting to wonder if it might've been a dark creature snuck into the room by Clark himself to give the students first hand experience.



Oh, she was going to fit right in with his grandmother and aunts.

He turned his head away so that they could talk and he pulled Shadow and the strawberry towards him, "I hope you've got money somewhere in that fur of yours. I think it would be fair if you paid her for her services...hey, she gave you the belly scratch, not me. So it'll be coming out of your fur, sport. Don't give me that look...and no whisker twitching! That doesn't work with me, I'm shocked you even tried."

Shadow sat, watching his owner talk. It sounded like a load of gibberish to him. Too many big words. He twitched a whisker and a ear before returning back to playing strawberry-soccer.

And, Heathcliff could not help but admire her, holding up her cage with as much strength as his skinny little arms could manage and peering into it to get a good gander. He could resist it no longer. And, here is where the trouble started.

Heathcliff peered back one more time to see his mother still busy with the Eyelop's shop-keeper and unhinged the lock which held the owl's cage closed, freeing "Cecilia" from her gilded prison with a broad smile. It was his first school shopping trip ever and in his excitement, he was determined to enjoy it to the fullest and show off his new acquired objects, especially his owl. Who cared if she escaped...she wouldn't, of course! He was certain she liked him and he had the drop on her anyhow. Oh, happiest of happinesses! He placed Cecilia on his shoulder and stood there for a moment, the perfect picture of 'happy child', glowing with excitement and smiling up a storm.

But, the smiles and excitement didn't last long. In fact, it only lasted about as long as it took Cecilia to grap around the small boys skinny shoulder and begin flapping her wings, which, in turn, attracted another nearby owl. Seeing that one owl obviously had a snack too big for her to finish on her own, the new owl demonstrated the awesome power of teamwork by reaching down and grappling Heathcliff's other shoulder and flapping his great grey wings. The combination of the two large owls' flapping wings created a strong gust of wind, and then there was lift-off as Heathcliff's small feet left the earth. The two owls flapped and flapped until they were soaring far off the ground, the skinny and truly quite nervous Heathcliff in tow, trying not to look down, but unable to help it (his blank expression told of the volumes of confusion he was feeling). They headed straight for the sunset, like a couple of cowboys, carrying Heathcliff with them and disappeared into the wild blue yonder, never to be heard from again.

Yeah. i cant wait to get out of school. its a drag." he said in all honestly."except for a few classes. i could take them for ages." he watched her as she moved closer to him and farther way from the other prefect.." should i sit between you two?" he asked. it might be safer for the boy at least. He smiled at her as he nodded,"yeah. i saw you last year a little, but nothing to in depth. Im a seventh year slytherin. green, silver.. house cup two years in a row." Pwned.

"It's a shame the luck can't continue for your seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Don't worry, though, I'm sure seeing the Great Hall draped in scarlet your last day at Hogwarts won't scar you too bad," she finished. Now, then. She felt satisfied. But why in the world was she arguing with yet another boy? Instead of continuing the conversation, she opted for the whole "arm on window ledge with face resting in palm" thing again. Oh, wait. She forget to huff out a nice sigh. Sigh....

Well just so you know... our luck is just fine. maybe we could loan you some of our students to help with your points." he smiled at her as he then saw monica." Dont get to excited with the comebacks. wait till i get back." he told her. he moved to the door as he slid it open for mons." Hey. come on in." he told her as he then closed it after she came in." let them fly." he told anna.

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 "Joshua," she said, plastering that smirk right back on her face. "How misguided you seem to be..." Why wasn't Cale helping out with these insults thrown to Gryffindor....wimp. Oh, no. This guy had NOT just offered to loan her some of his students? What a jerk. "You think we need some of your students?" she asked, a sarcastic smile painted across her bewildered face. Who did this boy think he was? "You can keep your students, Moonson. The only thing better than beating a few snakes is beating an entire house of them." Prefect, Anna....PREFECT. "Josh, I do apologize for my sudden...outburst," she said, plastering a smile upon her face. "My father is a Slytherin," she explained, hoping that would break the ice a little. "Friends?"

Originally Posted by *JoshMoonson* (Post 6711326) Josh chuckled as he nodded." I do think you need some of ours." he told her with a smile." If you havent noticed..... beating us as an Entire House is obviously not working as well as it sounds. Dont want to have to remind you.. yet again..who won." he said with a smile. he nodded at her as he shook his head." friends. If you dont mind a little competition." he said with a smirk. " no hard feelings. All in good tease?" he asked her.

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 Anna playfully laughed at Josh's comments. Now this was someone, besides Cale of course, who could match her wit for wit. This would be one interesting guy. "All in good fun," Anna agreed. "So, let's start back over with our introduction. You're Josh...a sn- Slytherin...non-Quidditch player, but attends games to watch friends play...what else makes up "Josh Moonson?" she asked.

Originally Posted by DalekDeatheater (Post 6711343) Monica leaned back against Josh, sighing. 'I guess I must blend in with the seat or something."

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 "So, how've you been, Monica?" Anna asked her friend. "I'm so excited for the new term. Josh and I were discussing possible outcomes to the end of term," she added, winking playfully and smiling at Josh.

Agie and I have argued over this last term. you do know... basilisks. They are bigger... longers.. stronger..may i add more talented in the points area and not to mention.. poisonous.. and what do you guys have? A fuzzy neck and a poof for a tale.Come back to me when you grow something more useful." he gave her a charming smile. "when im done with Hogwarts im thinking France. That or just sorta see where life goes. Not quite sure yet. More worried about that when the time comes sort of thing. Fly by the seat sort of fun." he told her as he was leaning towards France. their were loads of things that he liked there. " Not sure really...your not going to stalk me are you?" he teased her." i dont know i think i'll probably be here or in France. More likely France."

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 "Ha!" Anna sarcastically laughed to herself. So this is how it was going to be, then. This guy was going to shoot her down and then carry on casual conversation followed by an attempt to shoot her down again? This Moonson guy was...good at this sort of thing if she did say so herself. "Basilisks, hmm?" she questioned, looking at him with a confident smirk on her face. "Yes, we should just throw out nature as we know it, since we have oh, so many basilisks roaming around. They're everywhere," she sarcastically continued, trying to point out the fact that basilisks were very rare creatures and shouldn't be cause to throw away all known theory. "Besides, I sort of like the little poof at the end of the tail." "France...that sounds nice. I'm nowhere near close to deciding where I'd like to go. Flying by the seat does sound rather appealing, though," she said with a laugh. "And no, if you must know, I wasn't planning on stalking you. I was, however, asking you if you'd ever like to hang out at Hogwarts. You know, if the basilisks don't decide to eat me first," she said with a smile.

Originally Posted by *JoshMoonson* (Post 6711634) "yeah... well lets hope you dont get eaten by one. That would be bad." he teased as he saw a certain ravenclaw. he looked back at anna as he smiled." They are quite common in certain areas. Better carry your magical creature handbook when you travel. Im positive they love lions.... especially the one with the extra poofy tail." he smirked as he stood from his seat." well miss lion lady of the poofy tail region.. im afraid i must depart. i need to talk to someone. It was pleasure to meet you, and you cale." he said smiling." I'll see you two later. excuse me." he smiled at mons as he waved." see you later." he mouthed to her as he headed out of the compartment. he made his way out and down the hallway as he then saw that certain ravenclaw." How are you? lurking around for any particular reason?" he asked rhiannon.

Originally Posted by MuggleBornWitch3 Anna laughed as she listened to Josh's banter. "Thanks for the advice. Last time I looked at Hogwarts: A History, it seemed that the last basilisk was sighted in 1992, right inside our very own school's walls. The next time I decide to go hiking in the plumbing, I'll remember that Josh Moonson told me to bring my handy dandy handbook," she said, shaking her head playfully and laughing along. "Nice talking with you," she said, as she saw him get up to leave. "See ya around..."

Savannah managed through her own laughter, bouncing up (careful with the pup she in one arm) she pulled her inside and into a hug. "Join us," Vannah suggested, returning to her seat and set Hippo down on her lap again. Murmuring a quick "Sorry Hippogriff; I know your tired, no more up and down" in response to the tiny things small whimper of protest.


"Wedding?!" She hissed, turning abruptly on Alexis, wide-eyed. Her tone had not gone cold, but maybe..frightened? She had very good hearing, and such a thing was never likely to get past her. "Yes, Lexis! Now lets not change the subject, you are not planning 'my' wedding that does not exsist." Savannah declared quietly, as if that was that.



Luckily for Alexis, someone slid the door open again, causing her attention to turn whether she wanted to let it go or not. Seeing as it was Antwone, she smiled in return "Thankyou!" She mused, before continuing "Thats craziness, you know. I didn't even think I would be asked," The fifth year was still trying to wrap her mind around the whole Prefect thing was real. "Thankyou, though."

First mia and now the shiny lion lady....What was he growing signs on his head that drew attention to him? He smiled at her as he then remembered her." Yeah thats right anna." he said as he added."Your a good quidditch player. I saw you both play last year." he said as he smiled. He then nodded as he added," Yeah I'm one of agie's friends. The one she dragged around and tortured of course." he teased. "pleasure to meet you. Your a prefect this year. Congratulations." he told her.

Anna's face broke into a mischievous smile and she shot a glance over to Cale out of the corner of her eye. "You're right...I am the new Gryffindor prefect," she replied, never taking her eyes off Cale. She couldn't wait to see this reaction. "I guess I better put my badge on now. I guess we're...sort of...supposed to," she mumbled, digging through her bag and putting her badge on.

"Yes, I am prefect, Cale. So you better watch out or I'll have to unleash my claws on you," she giggled, holding her hand up in a "cat claw" motion and giving him her evil grin again. This was classic. PERFECT. No wait, this was better than perfect. This was Anna Greingoth letting Cale Newell know that he just got PWNED.

The first reaction was shock. She just sat there in that seat with this disgusted look on her face staring at him as if he'd just vanished and turned into a troll boogey instead.

The second reaction made her sick. She swallowed hard and closed her eyes to stop the dizziness. He'd made her sick. Not because he was prefect, oh no. That didn't bother her as much as the fact he'd just pwned her right back. In front of this seventh Slytherin, might she add. He'd just stuck that stupid little badge right on his chest and sat there like the crup that just ate the pygmy puff. Nevermind the fact that it took him two tries.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed open in anger. She stood up from her seat, looked at him, sat back down, looked at him, then stood back up again.

"Cale!" she yelled at him. "You haven't even BEEN to the school YET! How did you get PREFECT?"

She knew she was yelling, but she didn't care....at the moment.

Then she sat back down and looked around, hoping too many people weren't watching.

"Erm...., ugh...I'm going to be sick," she mumbled.

Anna closed her mouth as tightly as she could, grinding her teeth together in an attempt to keep from biting Cale's head off...literally. She had to admit, all this anger was mainly coming from the fact that she was already mad at him before she'd even stepped foot on the train.

Perhaps prefects shouldn't argue with one another...

She huffed a huge sigh and slammed her arm down on the window ledge of the compartment, finishing that little fit by resting the side of her face in her palm. Then she looked at Cale, first out of the corner of her eye, then slowly facing him all the way.

"Cale," Anna whispered, not quite having the courage to speak at a normal volume just yet. "I'm sorry, k?"

She left it at that. Just short and to the point. She was a little scared she'd damaged their friendship permanently.

Why did boys have to be so difficult?

Those knickers tended to ride up the backside something terrible.

"Yeah, that would be good," Max said nervously and walked inside, closing the door behind him. "Did you hear what the Ministry did to my flying pitch? They used a disilluionment charm AND a concealment charm on it!" He sat down, clearly distressed. "How does the Idiot of Magic expect me to officiate games let alone teach a class?!"

That's when he looked up at Neo. "Perhaps . . . well, you do have a lot of space and green grass...." He stopped because he was unsure of how to proceed.

"I can set up boundaries . . . put a protective charm over the grass . . . one hundred percent supervision . . . no flying . . . to show I can follow the rules." He swallowed hard. "One good lesson and perhaps I can convince the Ministry to lift the charms on the Pitch. Please, Neo."

"How do you do it?" Tracy found herself blurting out. Staring deep into the girl's eyes, she sensed a double standard and raised an eyebrow. "Keep calm while you're practically falling off your chair as we speak?" Tracy inquired and kept her eyes locked on the girl.

Tracy continued staring at the girl in amazement. She couldn't be serious...Such lively attitude in such a situation had to be forced. Unless that is, the girl was as oblivious as the rest of the people surrounding them. She winced as the girl called her "miss" but continued to stare at her in awe.

"How cheeky..." she mumbled under breath as the girl finally responded. "You see..." she mocked, continuing the girl's little game. "It's called a figure of speech and I do believe I said practically," she added, trying very hard to see behind the girl's twisted answers.

"You can grin if you'd like," she added, with a confused expression on her face. This girl seemed to be playing a hidden game and was most definitely enjoying it. Did she know more than she was letting on? "That look isn't very appealing," she concluded, holding a finger up to the edge of her own lips as if to further explain.

Tracy leaned back in her chair slightly, letting out a low laugh. This girl was far too amusing. She was also a bit obnoxious but Tracy couldn't help but keep the conversation going. It seemed rather childish but something about the girl made it clearly evident that she was no fool. It was as if the girl was venting in her own special way. If only she could make sense of it. Tracy was in no manner used to such people-- such happy go lucky attitudes. However, perhaps this was the only way to go for the time being. Who knew? Maybe she'd find logic in the actions of such an inane girl.

As the girl took out her compact, Tracy shook her head and an smiled awkwardly. "My mistake then, perhaps it's the lack of light in this corner of the Great Hall," she replied, nodding accordingly. "Tracy Lindh," she added, holding out her hand for the girl to shake. "Will you teach me of your upbeat ways?" she asked teasingly, raising an eyebrow. Tracy wondered how much longer until the girl would finally quit the silly act and secretly hoped that the girl wouldn't. It was quite a refreshing change.

"The pleasure is all mine..." Tracy responded, and for once during all of her encounters that day actually meant it. She smiled as the girl once again found a way to answer her rather reasonable comment with such a bizarre reply. "Manners?! Oh, of course! My mistake," she replied, finding it very hard to keep from bursting out in a fit of giggles. Tracy was definitely a fan of "manners" but such a reference to the girl's behavior seemed downright ridiculous. This was all a scene but it wasn't as if she was complaining. On the contrary, she was enjoying every bit of it.

As the girl continued to speak of following "examples" Tracy found herself trying to come up with more and more reasons as to why the girl was acting in the manner she had chosen. "Your grandmother must be quite a lady," she complimented respectfully, growing curious by the second. "However, may I ask who's examples we are speaking so fond of?" she asked, extremely curious to know everything and anything more about the girl.

Tracy squirmed in her seat as Rapunzel made a loud "tsking" sound. She found herself bobbing slightly side to side as the girl shook her head and could almost feel her eyes tearing up before she quickly blinked. Was she hyponotized? This had to be one of the most weirdest experiences Tracy had encountered. "Nice to uhm...meet you Miss Jasmine," she responded, holding out her hand but doing so with extreme caution. One crazy nutter she could handle but...two? Tracy tried to keep a clear expression on her face but could feel nervous tingles run up her spine.

"Vacations? What sorts of vacations?" she inquired, once again allowing her curiousity to make the best of her. You're going to find yourself in a deep dark pit one day because of all these darn questions, she thought to herself. It was only a matter of time before her questioning nature would get her in far more trouble than she could handle. Until then, she continued peering closely at the two sisters.

Tracy swiftly pulled away from her chair as soon as she heard Rapunzel speaking to her purse and barely held unto the table to keep her balance. "You are insane!" she blurted out, trying to make sense of the girl's comment and the furry reference. There was only so much that Tracy could take. Enough was enough! Scratching her head and trying to make sense of the odd situation she was in, Tracy could feel her cheeks burn as she continued staring at the girl. Before long however, she boldly leaned in across the table and noticed a Pygmy Puff. That would explain that, she thought and took a deep breath happy to know that Rapunzel wasn't completely insane. She was growing rather fond of the girl. Glancing around to those around her, she felt her cheeks flush a deeper shade of red and smiled nervously. "I thought..." she began to explain, but fell short. "To bloody hell what you guys think...I'm not the only one insane around here," she blurted out and then turned over to Rapunzel once again, not giving them any attention.

"I'm sorry..." she answered meekly, not quite sure what had come over her. Then again, it was probably Rapunzel's intention all along. It certainly seemed more likely. "Nacho? As in...yellow cheese?" she asked sarcastically, rolling her eyes at the name. "What in Merlin's Beard convinced you to name that blasted thing, Nacho?!" she asked, honestly curious about everything and anything that involved the older student. Sitting back in her seat finally, Tracy took a deep breath and pouted slightly at Rapunzel's reference to the rules. "Why o'course. We wouldn't want to cross the ministry," she responded, trying very hard to disguise the sarcastic tone in her voice.

Tracy watched the girl unblinking, not quite understanding. "But...you said...that you..." she trailed off, with no desire to further the conversation. "If you say so," she responded, when the girl finally finished.

Tracy was just about ready to poke herself hard in hopes to wake up from whatever daze she was in. This couldn't be real. It just couldn't. The whole thing was just some big ol' dream and tomorrow she'd wake up and come to the real Hogwarts. The legendary Hogwarts she had heard so much about it. It wouldn't hurt to keep this going. There was nothing else left for Tracy to do but give in to Rapunzel's funky habits. It's only a dream after all, Tracy thought confidently.

"Pretzel? You should know by now that I can't help but ask the first thing that comes to mind," she added, honestly interested in the explanation of such a silly nickname.

"Perfectly respectable?" Tracy asked, scoffing at the very comment. Something about those two words didn't fit in with the rest of her story. "I, for one, found that shop to be my favorite in Diagon Alley. She leaned in closer, feeling as if the comment needed to be discussed even further and whispered, "It's okay if you secretly love that shop. I won't tell a soul." With that, she moved away once again and raised her eyebrows at Rapunzel's question. "Satisfied? Me? Well, I will be if you let me call you Pretzel," she responded cheekily, with a wide grin.

Tracy continued grinning upon seeing Rapunzel's reaction. She was really started to like the girl. However, as soon as the girl claimed that she couldn't explain her name, a pout quickly replaced her grin. "Okay..." she responded, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice. It was going to happen eventually, she tried telling herself to ease from the dissapointment. Time to wake up any minute now, she thought, fearing that their interesting conversation had now come to a standstill.

She nodded slightly as Jasmine mentioned breaking the rules and could feel an evil grin forming in the edges of her lips. "What kind of cat is Won Won?" she asked, trying to think of ways to disguise the unknown cat. Perhaps if it was smaller, they could easily come up with something.

Lainey pulled her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the door. "Prepare to be dazzled by this hot new office," she sarcastically mumbled. There were definitely not enough chairs for all the girls.. but they'd make do. "Come on in...." Lainey lead the angry mob parade into her hell hole office.

Anna Greingoth had been strolling down the halls of Hogw- Belle's School, when she came upon a scene of...what was it?...a mob of girls? This she had to be a part of, whatever it was.

She proceeded with caution, stepping over what appeared to be nuts strewn all over the floor. Where on Earth were the house elves in the school? And who on Earth would throw nuts all over the floor? Shaking her head, Anna joined the girls that were following Professor Lainey into her office, vaguely picking up on some reference to everyone being dazzled by the looks of the office.

Anna didn't know, at first, whether that meant that her Professor actually liked the office or hated it. With a shrug, she asked, "Does it dazzle you, Professor?"

"HAH!" Lainey almost shouted. She threw head back and cackled as she moved over to the burgundy clad windows. She hauled back and kicked the curtains. "I hate burgundy. It reminds me of old woman, blood, and cranberries. I don't much care for any of those." Her list of things she hated were adding up today.

She approached her chair and started with the first question about the name plate. "Well, I've made two conclusions about that name plate, Sabrina. One, they want me dead - but luckily don't my name well enough - so I consider myself safe, or two, they're making a very cruel joke about my past." She left it at that.

Lainey hadn't been prodded by any torches or pitchforks, so she was a little more at ease with the mob. She fell into her chair and then nearly dumped herself in the floor. Needless to say, she hadn't gotten a high quality chair. So, she sat very, very still once she got sat upright, her elbows up and her fist white from gripping the rails.

She made it look like she meant to do it, of course. "Frequently," Lainey answered Anna. "This office dazzles me every time I enter. Why, I could dazzle the garbage bin with barf right now I'm so enchanted with the decor."

"Aaaaaccckk!" Gwen screeched, jumping to her feet. "MERLIN'S PANTS!" She fumbled for her wand, the cause of the trouble. "Ohmygod ohmygod I need to put it out!!! How can we put it out???"

Panicking, afraid of being burned, she picked up her bag and turned it over, dumping everything in a pile on the floor. She thumped the bag on her head, trying to smother the fire. She then dropped to the floor, rolling around, and thumped the top of her head on the floor incessantly. The fire ceased, leaving a mop of singed hair and a bald patch.

"Galloping gargoyles, is it out????"

Gwen sat up slowly, and gingerly felt the crown of her head. Her hair, still smoking, felt warm, but not scorching hot, thank Merlin. Her fingers found the bald patch, and she moaned dolefully. Not only did she have a bald patch, and also had a swelling lump on the spot she had ceaselessly rammed on the floor.

"Oh no," she moaned, a lump forming in her throat and her eyes swimming with tears. "I need something to cover my head; have you got a hat?"

From near the bookshelves, Madame Kohan had heard a loud scream. Alarmed at once, she dashed out in the direction of the cry, searching for the source.

When she finally found it, she stoped short, for there was a Slytherin, the same one, in fact, who had been at the opening feast; and a Gryffindor, who was on the floor.

"What is going on here?!" She demanded, her nose catching a whiff of smoke at that moment. What in Merlin's....?

Reaching down, she looked at the Gryffindor at eye level, glancing at her hair. "Are you okay?" Had she really done what Angela thought she had?

"Thanks Tia," Gwen mumbled, taking the hat from her. Ooh. Black with a flower.



Gwen stared at Madam Kohan, her mouth stuck in a sort of grimace, her eyes swimming with tears.

"It's...out," she spluttered. "M-my hair. There was a fire. In my hair."

She bowed her head in shame. The shiny bald patch glistened in the sunlight.

Madame Kohan let out a quiet sigh, reaching into her robes for a handkerchief for the girl to wipe away her tears.

"It'll be okay, dear." She spoke in a reassuring tone, though she was feeling everything but reassuring. It wouldn't do to freak out the students, though, so she managed to keep her cool even if she was reminding herself to breathe.

Biting her lip, she carefully helped up the Gryffindor.. "Come now, we'll just get you to the nurse and she'll be able to help you." She could see that there was already a bit of swelling present. "Yes, it'll definitely be best to see Nurse Numel."

Gwen took the handkerchief. "Thanks Madam Kohan," she mumbled, blowing her nose with the sound of a small trumpet. She took the hat Tia had given her and put it on her head gingerly. She began piling her books and quills back into her singed bag, and hung it over her shoulder, rising to her feet. She ambled towards the library entrance, the daisy in the hat bouncing with each step. The trumpeting sound of her blowing her nose could be heard in the distance.
