| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Yes, arguments were just the worst. It probably wasn’t healthy that Aryan tended to avoid any conflict rather than confronting it but it was what it was. Huge props to Drake for looking out for him! Maybe they both should just settle on them being the best in each other’s eyes {though Ary would have to take it a step further in clarifying that Drake was his best guy friend since Bry was his best girl friend}. And the feeling was mutual: Ary was the number one fan of Drake; he always would be. It was quite clear that Drake was excited to see all the things. This made Aryan even happier that he had invited Drake over, even if it was true there had been an ulterior motive of not wanting to be separated from the other boy for all that extended summer time. “You’re welcomes. I’m happys your mom let you come.” He too added some energy into swinging their hands as they headed towards the creatures… or rather, the house, since his Dad had made a good point. “Okays! The house it is!” “No problem, Drake. You’re welcome to stop by whenever you want.” So basically, Drake had a lifelong invitation much like Bryony had. Speaking of, if she could see those two swinging hands now, she would have been pretty annoyed. This also made him very curious about Ary and Drake’s friendship. Adi and Benny’s had rather started with these platonic shows of affection too. “I’ve got to head back to the dragon enclosures but I’ll be seeing you two soon enough. Be a good host, Ary!’’ Adi ruffled his son’s hair before dashing off towards the dragons. “I wills.” Ary watched Adi hurry off as he continued to lead Drake to the house. “There’s an extra bed in my room alreadys pushed togethers with mine,’’ he informed his friend as they reached the house. His own bed was actually big enough for both of them to fit comfortably but had put the thought aside since he didn’t want to make Drake uncomfortable. Should Drake figure that they both could fit, and didn’t mind taking the free half, that was fine with him. “Come on! I’m on the first floor!’’ {The floor above the ground floor, in this case}. Up the flight of stairs he began to climb. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Even if clarification had not been expressly said, Drake certainly would have understood what Aryan meant had they verbally just agreed each was the best. Drake knew very well how important the blond was to Aryan and vice versa and he had no plans of getting in the way of that, nor did he feel particularly jealous of it (for the time being) considering he also had Gilly so he very much understood you could think the world of more than one person. He did still often worry Bryony might have thought he DID want to get in the way of that but… problems to deal with another time. And there was a chance he was just over sensitive anyways. “My mum is pretty laid back so I didn’t think she’d say no really.” In fact, she had offered to reciprocate at any time too! Skipping next to Ary, he let their hands swing as well, occasionally adding force as well so it would go reaaaaaally high. “Thank you again, sir!” He chirped happily at Aryan’s Papa, giving him a wave as the man excused himself to tend to the creatures again. He was certain he was in good hands with Ary so he just followed along after the other boy. “Oooh! You already did our set up!” He grinned widely, an extra bounce in the next step. He quickly followed along after. “How many floors IS your house?”

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Bry would always be important to him but Drake was just as important as well. After all, it wasn’t everyday that Ary bonded instantly with someone; clearly this meant something. For that reason, he had the feeling that he would always feel that way about the other guy. And Ary already knew that he had to be careful when showing this because if the scale tipped in Drake’s favour, Bry would throw tantrums lasting for weeks. Balance would be important and Ary wanted to navigate this as best as he could. “She is as cool as my dads,’’ Aryan agreed. Drake’s mom seemed awfully nice. It was nice to have parents of that nature. The first time his and Drake’s hand swung high, Ary started laughing because… what fun! It was actually good fun. Was there any possibility that their joined hands would depart from their bodies? “Just the beds. Lefts the fort for us to do togethers.” Drake was a fort-pro and Ary refused to deprive his friend of the opportunity to build a great fort. “Three. Raj has the ‘attic’ room. The twins and my rooms are on the firsts, along with dads. Guest rooms are also on Raj’s floors.”
Ary carefully led the way up the stairs, slowing his pace a bit since Drake was all bouncy and he didn’t want him to lose footing. “Livings rooms, dining room, kitchens… all on ground. Easier access to those when we get in from the Reserves. Oh, each floors has a bathroom. My floor has two.” It was a huge house. Ary fell silent now to let Drake process all of this info. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Drake would have felt bad if he had known that their friendship had even the potential to offer Aryan some inconvenience. Though probably not badly enough to not continue the friendship, considering it was not his place to make those type of decisions on his friend’s behalf. And he also hoped it was something Ary himself wouldn’t feel like he’d ever need to… not be friends with him or something for Bryony’s sake. Though considering how long they’d been there for each other, he supposed he would have understood.
Just also been unhappy about it. “Clearly we’re lucky for having such nice parents!” He chirped, happily moving on to something outside of his own depressing thoughts and focusing on all the HAPPY things instead. “Excellent!! I brought blankets!!” He chirped happily, giving a skip to his step too as they continued on together. He was certain Aryan and his household also had plenty of blankets buuuuuut he also liked to travel with some comforts from home too. “Oooh! That’s really cool! Do you guys get a lot of guests too?” Having a house big enough for multiple guest rooms sounded so COOL. Drake had been comfortable in their house with Yaya and Papa but they hadn’t had a whole lot of room.
That was considerate of Ary! Though it certainly would have been Drake’s own fault if he had gone spiraling down. “That’s a whole lot of rooms and spaces! I’m surprised you don’t have multiple kitchens too though!” If only because he got the vibe Adi would have appreciated another close access kitchen from his room too. Respect.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. The idea of his and Drake’s friendship posing any form of inconvenience had not even occurred to him. Even in the future, this was not something that would enter his thoughts. Nope, this friendship was just as important to him as his and Bryony’s so there would never, ever be a cause for him and Drake to stop being friends.
Oh, that they were! Having nice and understanding parents always was a big help. For example, if one of them had an uncool parent, then this mini vacation Drake was on could have never happened. Aryan laughed. “Why am I not surprised that you dids? Hopes you left some for your mama.” And if there was the need for even more blankies, the Atreyu-Rehman had quite a bit which could be put to use. “Sometimes. Mainlys family. And the occasional friends.” Here, Ary grinned at Drake. “You might sees a familiar face from schools whenever you're heres since the twins usually have friends over too.”
Ary shook his head as they arrived at his room. “Nopes. Just the one kitchen. This is mys room.” He pointed to the door though this was unnecessary. On it, There was a cutout of a large, smiling Mooncalf with the words ‘Aryan’s Room’ scrawled in paint on the Mooncalf’s belly. He pushed the door open to expose a spacious room with all the comforts a twelve year old could ask for - inclusive of a TV mounted on the wall. “Two beds,’’ he said happily. “All sets for fort building laters. Go aheads, put your bag down. Do you wants to hang out heres for a bits before we heads outside?” |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Drake would certainly be doing everything he could to ensure that opinion did not change. He didn’t aspire to be an inconvenience - that was actually his LEAST favorite idea, especially with Aryan.
.. The sheepish smile was unavoidable at Ary’s comment, and he did a quick calculation again of how many he’d brought. “I’m preeeetty sure I did. But even if I didn’t, she’s good at spellwork and could just transfigure some new ones!” That was a convenience he and his best friend wouldn’t have for YEARS still. Except… could one imagine the blanket forts they could make when that was something they could do?? People didn’t grow out of blanket forts…. Right? “Oh! That’s true! Are any of your other siblings set to have friends about today?” He was just curious - though with the twins being in separate houses he wasn’t sure he would really recognize anyone TOO terribly much.
Still skipping slightly, he giggled at the artwork on the door and gave a small approving nod. “It’s very fitting for you. Even without your name!” It still would have been easy to guess who usually slept inside this particular room. As the door pushed open, Drake stepped inside and his mouth dropped into a slight o. “Your room is SO cool!” Having something so large and to himself must have been amazing! Though Drake didn’t actually mind that much sharing with Gil either, especially because of how well the siblings got on. “Where’s the best place to put my bag so it’s out of the way?” As clumsy as he was, he didn’t want to create a tripping hazard for himself or Ary! “Sure, let’s hang out here!”

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Knowing Drake, he wouldn’t have to try much at all. Especially if he smiled in that manner; the sheepish smile was quite as nice as the regular one. “Okays, that’s a pretty good solution. Magic’s so helpful, isn’t it?” Moments of realisation usually like this always made Ary wistful that his magical education hadn’t progressed to the point that he’d be learning advanced magic. All in due course though; he just needed to be patient. “Not that I know of but you never knows. A spontaneous visits can happen.” This much has been known to be true in the Atreyu-Rehman household. Drake was about to learn all the things that went on around the place.
Aryan laughed softly in response to the comment. It was true that anyone would be able to tell whose room this was with just the cutout Mooncalf. He was the only one in the family obsessed with the particular creature. He was really just happy that Drake loved his room; it meant that Drake would be happy here. “Dads say that me and my siblings woulds need space as we grow so they gave us huge rooms from the get-go. Ands they were rights. I always needs space to put new stuff.” Especially whenever he received gifts for Christmas and birthdays. “Hmmm. How bouts the foot of your bed? Like we put our trunks at school? Wants me to help you unpack? You get an entire couples draws here, rights next to mines.” Ary pointed to the chest of draws against the wall. “Oh! Before you do all thats!” Excitedly, Ary placed Drake’s shoulders from behind and urged him towards a window. “Look at the views! See all the greenery? And you can see the Hippogriff paddocks froms heres.” Faintly but still… “No views of the dragons from this sides buts it's stills nice.” |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein Drake nodded in agreement, heaving a small sigh. “It IS amazing. And beyond inconvenient we can't use it during the summers!” Imagine how much more practice they could have it they were allowed to? Not that Drake would actually be invested in the idea of furthering his studies for the sake of knowledge buuuuut… it would be fun for other reasons. Like forts! Spontaneous visits sounded even MORE fun, didn't they? Maybe it was just because Drake had never (before Aryan that was) have close friends that could just… drop in. How fun was that?? “What are your siblings like? I haven't met them really.” Just seen them in passing, since… graduated and in other houses and all.
How Aryan could expect Drake to be anything BUT happy ANYWHERE he got to hangout with his best bud was wild. But while Drake struggled with his own insecurities and self consciousness (which sometimes did still have to do with Aryan, though not nearly to the extent as others) he could understand he supposed from his friend’s perspective too. Though he would have assured him if he knew that there was a possibility. “That's really smart of them! It would be a hassle for you guys to have to move later, so just the big room from the beginning is waaaay easier!” at the suggestion of the foot of the bed, Drake dropped his bag there and swiveled his head to look at the suggestion spot for clothes, feeling nice his friend had prepped so much for his visit. Drake would have told him as much, except he was distracted by Ary’s excited tone and spun around instead to join him out the window and peek oitside. “Oooooh! That's so cool!! Do you just sit here and watch them sometimes? Are they able to just fly free around the reserve? I think I'd sit here for hours.”
In fact, he just might during the course of his visit!

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Ary laughed; Drake’s reaction with the sigh was sort of funny. “Cheer ups, Duck! In a couple of years we’ll be all the magic. Over the summer, over the Christmas break…” He himself could not wait to impress (or try to) everyone on the Reserve with his magical skills. What better way to instil confidence that he knew exactly how to handle the creatures? Being Drake’s first close friend was a title that Ary would always wear rather proudly. “That’s easy! They’re exactly likes the House they were Sorted into. So Raj’s the brain of the family. Dy’s the friendly, hard working one - you’ll most likely meet her on the grounds. She likes playing her violin for the creatures. Nadia is quiet at times but I wouldn’t mess with hers. She can be fierce.” So yep! That summed it all up.
He didn’t know but all he knew was that there was a keen sense to do everything that would keep Drake happy. But Ary needed to be careful not to overdo it and be stifling too. This job would require the perfect amount of balance. “Rights? It helps because it's comfy enough to have visitors as wells.” As was clearly evident now. And yes, great care had been taken to plan as best as he possibly could for Drake’s stay. “Uh huhs. I do. It’s nice to sit there and just watch them fly about. The Reserve’s protected by a bunch of enchantments evens thoughts we’re far, far away from Muggles. Dads take the security very seriously and they’re the ones who reapply them when needed.” Ary paused, remembering something that he had forgotten to mention. “But you can use your Muggle devices heres at the house. No enchantments heres.” Which would explain the TV mounted in his room. “The moments you step out, that’s when they go down.” |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein A few YEARS was still like a total of FIVE. It was so long when one really thought about it. Especially to a 12 year old who waited forever already to even get to go to a magic school. In reality, he didn't know what need he would actually have to use magic because unlike Aryan he didn't have a task to prove himself in (or a way to be helpful like he was sure Ary would be!) and yet still... he was excited about it. He listened intently at the descriptions of his siblings, nodding along after each name. "So... then the oldest was the Ravenclaw, Nadia is the Gryffindor and Dy is... Hufflepuff, right?" Also? Violin playing to the creatures sounded SO cool. "Do you think she'll let us listen too??" Well, he supposed his question was could HE since he was certain as Aryan's sister, she probably let him often.
That was very true. This was definitely a way more comfortable stay than what would probably be like when Aryan came to Drake's house next time. It was smaller, and had a cozy vibe, but there wasn't nearly enough space to really enjoy solitude for a prolonged time. In fact, it was lucky that Gilly seemed to love Drake as much as he did or his silence preferring twin might have really been driven up the wall by him.
Oohh, so Aryan's dads did all of the protective enchantments and everything too? That was so COOL. They were both clearly very knowledgeable and talented to be able to take care of all of the different aspects on their own. "Do your dads have any employees that work on the reserve too? Or is it simply a family run effort?" Not that he was already trying to pander for a job later in life, he was simply curious. "Oh! I didn't even think to ask about that! I'm sure my mum will be relieved!" Not that he liked using the muggle phone that he had for emergency purposes - but it meant he could say goodnight every night still. "What else do you like to do when you're here at home?"

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Okay, maybe it was actually more than a few. It certainly seemed like a far off time but if time went about as rapidly as it seemingly did, then those five years would be completed before they both knew it. Also, why did Drake have to sell himself so short? Surely he would find something to use magic! Ary envisioned something to do with plants, of course. “Yup, you gots it. One fors each House.” He found it incredibly cool the way he and his siblings had been Sorted. “Of course. She loves an audience. Says its gives her practice for her future performances. I expect you’ll get as calm as the creatures when you hears her play.”
Aryan would love it to hang out at Drake’s place sometime! He wasn’t fussy about accommodations; as long as he had Drake with him, he could adapt easily to any place new. And even though he liked the quiet too, he would definitely never be mad at Drake for wanting to be extra chatty.
His dads were brilliant indeed; that had clearly come in useful for their present lives. “Yes. Nots as much when they first started outs. But I’ve always known the place to be fulls of staff since dads started the Reserve before I was adopted. By the times I came around, it had grown. Aunty Hady was a vet here before she started teachings at Hogwarts. I mean, she still is. She’s just around less.” As was Bry, when the holidays came around. “Can’t keep your mum worryings about your safety. But you’re pretty safes here.” That was a promise, Drake! “I don’t have to tell you. I can shows you! Come on. Let’s go outside.” He beckoned for his friend to follow him. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein It was really cool that all of the Atreyu-Rehman siblings had been sorted separately, the family being covered in all four different houses. But the idea of being sorted away from Gilly also would have upset him and he wondered if any of them had ever likewise wished they'd gone together. "Were you bummed at all? That none of you and your siblings were in the same house?" As for Dynah liking audiences, he perked slightly and grinned before giving a nod. "I look forward to it then!!" And yes, he definitely would be calm, primarily because he wouldn't want to be disrespectful while she was playing!
Not having as many staff in the beginning certainly made sense. Especially since he figured they probably didn't have nearly as much creatures back then as they would have grown to now. He wanted to ask how many his dads had started with, but he realized that was a question Aryan might not have had the answer to. So instead, he filed it away to ask Adi another time. "Oh! I didn't realize that Professor Paton had worked here!" But that made sense, considering he knew Aryan's dads and her had been friends for years. "I'm sure Mum knows I'm in good hands!" She wouldn't have let him come otherwise.
At the suggestion to go outside, Drake happily hopped to it - following after Aryan. "Okay! What are we going to go look at first?"

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Knowing Drake as much as he did now, Ary would fully have understood Drake wanting to be Sorted with Gilly. He himself hadn’t dwelled at all upon the idea of wanting to be in the same House with any of his siblings, even when there had been a Hatstall between Slytherin and Hufflepuff. He had simply let the Hat place him where was best. Had he been placed in Hufflepuff, he would have been the third member of the family there; the other two members being Dad Adi and Dy. As far Ary new, he was the only Slytherin; living, that is. “Nope,’’ the boy replied honestly. “I was confidents being on my own. And I sorta am happy to be the only Slytherin in my family.” About Dynah, he added, “You’re in for a treat then. The more ardent listener you are, the more she’ll like you.”
Drake would be right: Ary was not at all sure how many creatures his fathers had started off with. It was something he had never thought to ask, having beens so taken up with the ones he had come to know and love. “She did. Does. But of course since she’s a professor nows, she only comes arounds during the holidays.”
His friend was indeed in good hands. Ary’s parents were very responsible, and Ary would like to think that he was so. Even with all the fire breathing and talon slashing creatures around, Drake would be safe. “The dragons? You’re probablys bored of seeing griffs by now,’’ he responded, bounding down the steps and beelining for the door. There were griffs at School, after all.
Hope you can keep up, Drake! |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein As pleased as Drake was to be with his sister, he was equally as thrilled to have been placed with Aryan as well. Truthfully, he should have been Hufflepuff - he was certain everyone that knew him knew it. He probably couldn't even been considered a proper hatstall since the hat had also seemed to think it was a very conclusive Hufflepuff for the young Beery. But since he'd been begging and pleading in his head, alllll the way to the chair, the hat had been forced to pause. It had tried to talk him out of it, but Drake had just continued to beg - until eventually the hat told him knowing and seeking what he truly wanted was a show of ambition and sorted him into his preferred. Drake had been, and was still, incredibly relieved that he wasn't separated from Aryan or Gilly or even Bryony. But... the imposter syndrome definitely had it's moments of being difficult to deal with. "I suppose it would be as equally fun to be a new trendsetter for your family!" He replied, dragging his focus back to the current topic. He was a bit codependent for that to have been him, but Aryan's ability to embrace and relish being his own person and having his own space was something Drake admired the most about his best friend. "I'll have to make sure I listen extra extra well then!" He promised, smile on his fae. He said it like it was a bit of a joke, but truthfully... Drake did really want to be liked by Aryan's sister and the people that were important to him. "That makes sense. Does Bryony come with her too all the time when she comes? That would be a super convenient way too for you guys to get plenty of time to hang out over holidays!" Though he was certain the pair of them would make it work regardless of having that added connection or not. "I could never be bored of hippogriffs!" he replied quickly, but gave a nod at the suggestion anyways. "I would like to see the dragons too though, so lead the way!" And as Ary did just that, he scurried behind to keep up, every step a bounce with his obvious excitement.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Ary certainly knew that about Drake. His friend certainly possessed the traits of Hufflepuff House. Ary knew that even if Drake had ended up in that House, the pair would have been best of friends still. Being almost placed in Hufflepuff was something else they shared in common. But he was most grateful that they were in Slytherin together. After all, it did mean that they could continuously have their blanket fort. “Hadn’t thoughts about that but I guess so..” And if Drake wanted to learn about being his own person, Ary would only be too happy to give some pointers. Or maybe, that particular aspect of his personality would simply rub off on his friend. “I have no doubt you will. Trusts me, she’ll like you well enough, as wills everyone else. You already know that dad does.” Unknowing to Ary, he was putting his friend’s worries to rest. “She does. I think Bry throws tantrums so Aunty Hady brings her over. Sometimes Uncle Frankie - her dad - would leave her here when he and Aunty Hady both have to work. Scamander Zoo also needs Aunty Hady.” That was one busy woman.
Ary chuckled. “That's goods because you’ll see themes loads of time before you leaves.” He led the way to the nearest cave-like dragon enclosure where the air was filled with the grunts and snores of the creatures as well as the rustling of enormous wings. “We gots to be careful not to startle them. There are witches and wizards constantly watching over them in case of emergencies but still. This is the enclosure of the Common Welsh Greens. Lets see if we can spot any lingerings at one of the caves.” |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein It’s true, Drake was certain their friendship would have still be strong enough to withstand their separation. But… Drake really loved being in the same house, so he was glad they were dorm mates and didn’t have to be separated. He doubted he would have found another dorm mate as enthused about blanket forts and still willing to indulge in such juvenile activities with him. Not that he considered it that, but others certainly could. He beamed at his response, and had the offer to help him been said verbally, he probably would have accepted. But… learning to be his own person too was probably something he’d eventually need to figure out on his own.
It felt like one of the requirements, really.
Putting fears to rest, he definitely was. Drake had hoped Aryan’s dad liked him, but of course he didn’t have full confirmation of it until his best friend spoke. Without thinking, he heaved a small sigh of relief, before another bright smile was sent at Ary. “He does??” He’d just have to make sure he stayed in his good graces then. “Professor Paton sounds like she has a LOT on your plate!” This was said in awe, as he blinked slightly while continuing to take in all the information. “Have your families always been super close?”
The creatures were in part of why he was here, though the biggest reason was next to him. But still, he was glad he’d get to see all of the types so often. For now, he continued to follow along to see the dragons, eyes growing WIDE as he heard the tell-tale sounds that signified how close they were getting. At the reminder to not startle, he gave a nod in understanding. “Okay! What are the things that usually startle them?” Just so he could make sure to… y’know, not do them.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Ary could not agree more. With his attachment to Drake, it was just better for him that they were together. Was he being greedy? Perhaps. He would have laughed in amusement had Drake said that out loud; but it was true that Ary did rather enjoy blanket forts. The fact that Drake did too only delighted him further that his buddy would put up with them having an all-year-around fort in their dorm.
He was rather confused for a moment as to Drake’s obvious relief to the comment. “Yes,’’ he reaffirmed, pleased to see Drake happy and at the same time feeling quite puzzled about the reaction. “Isn’t its obvious?” Hmm. Maybe Ary needed to nudge dad Adi to do something outrageous as proof. “Oh yeah, she does. Dunno hows she manages it all. She’s like Superwoman.” There was a nod now. “Yups. Dad Adi and Aunty Hady were ats Hogwarts together. They’ve beens best friends since.” And then he and Bry had became besties too, keeping the apparent family tradition alive. “Really louds noises for one,’’ Ary replied, lowering his voice. They were still at a distance from the caves but with the wind changing directions at times, he wasn’t about to take any risks since it could carry their voices. “No ones sneaking up on them, especially if its a mother dragons involved. They’re very protective of their babies.” Looking around, Ary could see the Reserve staff preparing foods for the creatures’ mealtime. But the important task right now… he pointed to the vast mountains that held massive openings at intervals - these were the mouths of the caves. “Let’s see if we spots any.” |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Vera Brinley Thanatos Gryffindor Seventh Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Mandrake Beery Slytherin Third Year | Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein If Aryan was considered being greedy, than Drake just as much was - and he didn't find that he minded that. The all year long fort was actually his favorite part of school, and something he looked forward to every September. It was nice too that it was so big so if Jan ever wanted to join them as well, particularly those first nights, they could all pile in together and catch up until the threat of early morning classes was enough to send them scurrying to Dreamland.
WAS it obvious? Drake considered the question before giving a bashful shrug of his shoulders. "You're Dad is so nice I figured he might just be like that with everyone!" Mix that with less than stellar self esteem and it was unsurprising that he wasn't 100% certain if he was genuinely liked. Though truthfully, the unspoken part of that equation was probably the bigger issue. "Seriously! I knew she was impressive, but even more so now!" Bryony and siblings were clearly very lucky to have her. "I bet your parents were so pleased too then that you guys are also best friends! Keeping the tradition going strong! Is any of the other Paton's also close with your siblings?" He knew there was five and four of them to each family, so he figured it was a possibility.
At Ary's response, Drake mimed zipping his own mouth closed - just to signify he understood the importance of being quieter as they continued forward. Following Aryan's finger point, he stepped closer to his friend again and squiiiinted his eyes at all the openings. "Does each cave have a dragon in it or is it just that they have homing options?"

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. “Well, he is nice.” Ary could not deny this fact. “If he didn’t like yous, he’d haves said you couldn’t comes for a stayover.” He gathered his dad had like Drake right off the bat, from the moment Ary had started talking about him. Not to mention the mirror calls played a part in the man being able to familiarise himself with Drake’s personality. Ary’s bestie was rather silly by thinking that he would be disliked. Even if someone did dislike him, that was their loss. “I know they ares.” Truthfully, he was happy too. He loved the Patons, and there was no one who knew him better than Bry. “I don’t thinks so. I means, we all get alongs but it’s just dad and Aunty Hady. Ands Bry and I.’’ Ary paused thoughtfully before placing an arm around his best friend’s shoulders. “I’m glads your my bestie too.” You know… just in case he needed any reassurance.
Ary grinned as he looked over at Drake. His friend truly was a real sport in following instructions. Ary plopped himself on the ground and adjusted himself so that he was in a cross legged position. This was usually how he watched the dragons, until the time came when his fathers deemed he was capable enough to assist with the actual dragon-handling. He patted the ground beside him, in case Drake wanted to join him. “They have homing options. They visits their friends at times. Or partners. Whichevers. Do you need a pair of onioculars? Then there wouldn't be the need for all that squinting. |
