88 - Owls/10 - Toads

25. Sorting Hat

Loyal and Brave.

That had been two things that the Sorting hat had called them their first year. A Gryffindor and a Hufflepuff, sorted without any hesitation. And remarkably, it had been a pretty correct description of them even then. They had been through a lot over the years and not only were they examples of their respective houses, but of the others as well. Smart, at the top of their point boards and not entirely without cunning at times.

All and all…well rounded.

There was one thing it hadn’t called them that fateful first day of Hogwarts…

Best Friends.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-12-2014, 06:21 PM

58. Hoot

An owl and a toad.

Ben had as much uncertainty about it working as Conrad, his familiar did. However the Hufflepuff and his own companion both seemed much more enthused. Maybe pets really were like their owners. All the second years could do was watch and wait to see what the creatures would do.

“Hoot…” the owl let out, cocking his head to the side as he finally let the toad approach without moving in response.

“Looks like they might be friends,” Adi mused with a smile, watching the two creatures. Ben couldn’t help but agree. Maybe they would too.

*Holmesian Feline* · 02-12-2014, 06:22 PM

64. Nap

Ben nearly dragged himself down the last flight of stairs, quite thankful when the Entrance Hall finally came into view. He had finally made it and his body was ready to collapse as he leaned heavily against the railing.

“Hey…there you are.” Adi said, the Hufflepuff coming towards him as the Grffindor took a seat down on the final step. “Where have you been? Weren’t we gonna study as 11?”

“Huh?” the second year said, blinking as his eyes drooped. “Here…” Ben added sleepily when he registered what was asked.

He would just sleep here for a little while.

*Holmesian Feline* · 03-08-2014, 08:08 PM

13. Quidditch

The latest quidditch match was not one Adi was going to miss. Not only was his house competing but Benny the dragon was making his debut on his own team. Granted their houses were playing against each other but the Hufflepuff was fine with rooting for both and being fair.

“Go Benny!” he said while the Gryffindor zoomed by after smacking his target into a Hufflepuff housemate. He was really doing well.

“Its ATREYU!” he exclaimed, sighing as the commentators struggled with his friend’s name once more when he hit another bludger at the opposing team. His team.

“BENNY Atreyu!”

*Holmesian Feline* · 05-31-2014, 10:53 PM

33. Classroom

Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology.

Two classes that were very much Adi and Benny’s two favorite subjects in the realm of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. But then who could really have a problem with either of them?

Interesting plants…even when they threatened to eat you with sharp, flesh-eating teeth. And dragon dung fertilizer...

…Exotic and exciting creatures….of all shapes, sizes and forms to study and play with. And all ratings to boot.

And best of all…their classrooms weren’t really rooms after all. Who wanted to stay stuck inside all day when the weather was so nice anyway?

*Holmesian Feline* · 09-09-2014, 01:50 PM

88 - Sweet Tooth

Adi had a sweet tooth.

Of that, Ben was absolutely certain of. With chocolate at the very least. It was one of the rare differences that existed between the two friends. Was it any wonder that he was the more energetic if not hyper of the two.

Though it worked out in the end, especially when he found himself in possession of chocolate frogs from a lesson. Benny was sure his bestie wouldn't mind the extra sweet amphibians.

Now if they ever occasionally gave out some treats of the sour persuasion. Then they were all his.

No if, ands or buts.

*Holmesian Feline* · 09-21-2014, 01:29 AM

5. Astronomy

There were times being in different houses was tough on Benny and Adi. Class competitions and quidditch matches were a couple of them, the former even more so given they both participated.

The war of the planets was no different.

Forget Gryffindor house had AJ and Angel too. No… the besties could be seen as being on their own in the room and only aimed for the planets of green and blue. The uncomplicated one that mattered not and the results were the same. One house did better than the other.

And this time…it was the house of the lion.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-04-2014, 01:01 PM

76. Zap

Adi and Benny stood side by side as Professor Hadley explained the latest muggle studies topic. The students all gathered around to view her demonstration.

Electricity.

As mixed bloods, the two best friends both had at least some exposure to its influence. Yet still, it had never really been explained to them. At least in quite the same way.

" It makes a sound?" A pure blooded classmate questioned, finding it hard to believe despite her otherwise openmindedness. Muffled amusement could be heard but no one outright called it silly.

"More like a spell you can't see, going from place to place along wires."

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-04-2014, 03:41 PM

70. Spook

Benny walked down the corridor heading for the library to study with Adi.

"BOO!!" A masked face exclaimed as it suddenly appeared from behind a column, blocking his path and causing the lion to jump back in surprise, smacking his attacker in the process. Adi's laughter could be heard as he pulled back the mask.

" Guess I should know better..." Adi remarked as he recovered. "If you can't take the heat, don't tickle the dragon."

" Or take one by surprise," Benny corrected, shaking his head in amusement. His bestie certainly learned that lesson.

" Yes...no surprising Benny the dragon."

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-04-2014, 04:24 PM

3. Transfiguration

"Would you ever want to be a real dragon?" Adi asked his friend as they studied together for their Finals

"Huh?" Benny asked looking up from his textbook.

" I can do it...make you a dragon," the Hufflepuff expanded upon the subject. "There's a spell for it and everything. Just need to practice."

Now that was something to bring up all of a sudden and the Gryffindor watched his friend to try and read him. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, wouldn't it be fun?"

"I don't know," Benny admitted, concerned with what would happen. It seemed odd to think about doing.

*Holmesian Feline* · 12-29-2014, 09:30 PM

50. Boggart

Granted it hadn’t been the prettiest flat when they had signed the lease but it was affordable and had the land they both wanted surrounding it. Now both young men were elbow deep in cleaning spells and muggle cleaning products.
Opening up a cupboard to air it out, Benny had switched to the curtains to let light in, gasping as he turned back. Adi was lying hurt…dying there on the floor.

“Adi!” he cried out, rushed footsteps breaking into his consciousness before he was joined by a very healthy best friend. A sigh of relief escaped the former Gryffindor.

“Riddulus…”

*Holmesian Feline* · 12-29-2014, 09:44 PM

41. Thestrals

There were Abraxans and Aethonans and Granians.

All sorts of flying horses brought out for their latest creatures class.

But they weren’t what Benny was looking…no staring at. No, his best friend was looking off to the side and looking like he had seen a ghost. “What are you looking at?” Adi asked curiously, attempting to break the Gryffindor out of his sudden stupor. The other boy starting to freak him out a little.

“Death…”

One simple word passed his bestie’s lips but it was enough to make it all so clear. Benny the dragon had seen someone die.

“Who?”

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-04-2015, 04:10 PM

47. Portkey

Fieldtrip!

They were headed out to the National Space Centre for an astronomy lesson and Adi and Benny were more than excited about it. Talk about hands on.

“See one of the student leaders I mentioned and take hold of their item as soon as you can,” Professor Flamsteed instructed the class. “The timers will go off soon enough.”

Ben didn’t hesitate in fear of getting left behind and Adi was right beside him. It wasn’t long before the kazoo in their grasp glowed and they felt weird inside before poof! They weren’t in Kansas anymore.

Let the fun begin!

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-04-2015, 04:54 PM

96. Socks

“On the count of three, we’ll open the gifts,” Adi mused as they handed over identical sized boxes.

Benny nodded in agreement to the Hufflepuff’s suggestion. It certainly seemed the fair way to do it. “One…two…three…” The best friends tore into the Christmas wrapping to reveal what they had given each other. When the paper settled down, they couldn’t help but laugh at the final outcome.

In each boy’s hand was a pair of new socks; red dragon ones in Benny’s and golden hippogriff ones in Adi’s.

“Great minds think alike,” the Hufflepuff said as they erupted into more laughter.

*Holmesian Feline* · 01-04-2015, 06:53 PM

39. Duel

“Confundus..”

“Protego…Stupefy!

The Hufflepuff ducked away from the red spark coming his way. “Langlock!”

It was Ben’s turn to manage an escape from silence. “…Petrificulus Totalus!”

“Protego!”

A term didn’t go by when the best friends weren’t dueling each other and this term was no different. Spells landed back and forth with neither Adi or Benny in a better position.

“Herbifors…” Adi cast nearly out of breath and the Gryffindor was slow to defend in his own weariness.

“You’re ready for spring, Benny,” he said with a chuckle, quite bemused at the outcome. “Angel might even like you more now.”

*Holmesian Feline* · 04-21-2015, 06:09 PM

31. Dress Robes

‘Benny’ was quite enjoying his time hanging out with AJ.

Granted she might just smack him when she realized that Adi had tricked her the whole night but it was worth it. Perhaps it was a good thing neither of them had run into the real Gryffindor. Or that his girlfriend hadn't known what sort of costume he had chosen.

“So…too bad you can’t find Angel,” AJ asked as they rode across the grounds in the hippogriff-pulled carriage.

“Yeah…it’s a shame,” ‘Benny’ remarked, fighting the excitement about the hippogriffs that would blow his cover. “Maybe she and Adi are together.”

*Holmesian Feline* · 04-21-2015, 07:12 PM

100. Homework

“Couldn’t they go easy on us this year…?” Adi remarked as they worked together on their homework in the library.

“Maybe if it was just us fifth years…” Benny answered with a shrug. They did share the class with students from other years so the professors couldn’t treat them differently than the non-OWL-crazed amongst them.

“I get alohamora for number four,” the Hufflepuff supplied, “What about you?”

The Gryffindor simply nodded. At least he didn’t seem to be too bad in the charms work this time around.

“Good…four done…sixteen more to go…” And dinner was fast approaching. “…we got this”

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-03-2015, 02:27 PM

48. Leprechaun

One tall, dark and handsome guy was soon replaced by a short, red-headed prank victim. The mixture of potions had been a success!

"I'm a leprechaun!" Adi exclaimed as he finally caught sight of the hair in his awkward reflection.

"A very nice looking leprechaun," Benny remarked, giving into the laughter he had been trying to control as Culloden had no inclination to do beside them both. Bad Professor!

He couldn't help it...it was nice to see the prankster get his just desserts. Even if it was all in good fun.

Until Adi tackled the professor to the ground.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-03-2015, 02:41 PM

6. Divination

If only someone had had a vision about this. That the two of them would be so happy together, even happier then they had been with their respective girlfriends. Might have helped cause less pain to said girls.

But then could one really have that many regrets when the two Valentine sisters had given them both many good memories? Adi and AJ certainly had not been supposed to break up. Benny hadn't planned on coming between them. It had just happened with no warning, from either the human or spiritual realm. The truth just was....

Benadi was official.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-03-2015, 03:54 PM

8. Potions

Really?

Was the professor aware of how happy he had just made Adi? The two seventh years exchanged conspiratorial glances, the badger a bit more excited about the potion they would be studying and brewing today.

"I wonder what animal to try first," Adi mused just loud enough for only his best friend to hear as they began their work side by side. Benny in turn trying to simply focus on prepping his cauldron for brewing rather than the supposed use for the Mutatio Animalia potion.

"How about that badger plan?" The Hufflepuff whispered, snickering at the lion's reaction.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-03-2015, 07:15 PM

15. Room

One cozy place for studying...

That was what they were greeted with when the Room of Requirement finally opened up fir them after the song and dance. A nice roaring, crackling fire to fight away the autumn closeness...a comfy couch and plush armchairs perched in front of it.

"Nicer than the library for sure," Benny remarked as he moved to take a seat on the couch, his book bag flopped beside him.

" Like a common room but shareable between us," Adi added, taking his own view of the space and claiming an armchair.

"Just think...our own personal retreat."

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-04-2015, 08:14 PM

83. Fearful

"ADI!"

Benny's clearly agitated cry could be heard from the other side of the apartment and Adi went in search of his boyfriend. Only to find the dragon sitting crosslegged upon the kitchen counter.

"What's wrong?" he asked concerned, answered by a frantic point at the floor and two long words.

"Kill it..."

The former badger turned to see what was being pointed at, spotting a large daddy longlegs at the base of the cabinet causing him to chuckle.

"Don't worry, Benny, your hero will save you from the fearsome beast."

Nothing like a spider to break a Gryffindor.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-06-2015, 01:48 AM

29. Penseive

Adi was ready.

He had practiced the spell over and over again and gotten it down pat. Now all he had to do was put it all together and cast.

Wordless of course.

The green lighted spell responded but as it was shot towards his boyfriend, he instantly regretted it. His face a look of horror.

How could he shoot the killing curse at Benny?

It was only as Benny called his name, the Gryffindor proved unharmed by the useless spell before him, that he could even try to relax.

That memory he had seen had really shaken him up.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-06-2015, 03:09 AM

21. Veela

This was one sad snake.
One sad, yet still pretty Slytherin girl.

Benny did not even have to move any closer to Ilia like Adi had to see that about the younger girl laying on the floor of the treehouse. Just what exactly had Henric done?

And was his very presence at the base of the tree only making things worse?

One thing for sure was that their fellow before them certainly needed a friend. Even if it was just for silent company. Or a listening ear.

And that was just what the two best friends would be giving her.

*Holmesian Feline* · 11-06-2015, 09:48 PM

27. Owl

Knock knock…knock knock.

Benny looked up at the sound from his reading on the couch, only to find an owl pecking at the window. Mail call it seemed. “Adi…were you expecting a message?” He for one wasn’t but there was still the chance it was random as he got up and crossed to let the bird in.

“Nope….why?” The other man answered, coming into the living room and freezing at the sight of the owl.

“Adi…?” The former Gryffindor asked clearly confused.

“She found us.” Cue even more confusion.

“Who?” Come on Aditya…help us out with a clue.

“My mother.”
