After answering the brass knocker's shrewd question, James walked into the common room. He pulled his tired legs over to a squishy, midnight blue armchair sitting by the fire. His packed bag slid off of his shoulder and landed with a small thud. His head swiveled around, looking for someone he knew. Slightly crestfallen, he layed back against a chair.

James entered the Common Room. The term was almost over so he was a bit releaved but stragely, tired as well. He fell into a chair by the window. He seemed to catch himself staring out a scenery lately. It truely was a beautiful view.

Cale came running into the room carrying a few large containers of something. “Woooo! Who’s around? Oh you’re around!” Cale spotted James lounging lazily in the lounge chair in the late afternoon. “James! Just the man for the job. Who else is around? Is anyone else around to help? Comm’on comm’on.” He put the containers down on the floor and hurried over to James’ chair where he poked him a few times. “We need more people! Pronto!”

Cale, if nobody could really discern, was excited; the type of excited he usually only exhibited in upon his discovery of a new and very strange plant. He spun in a large circle, his robes spinning out behind him. “Where is very body? Hullllllooooooo???” He called up the stairs to the dormitories. “Ravenclaw meeting! In the common room!”

A mechanical Parrot flew to the boys shoulder and said in James' (Lupet) voice. "James Lupet is unavailable. I'll speak for him" it said, but really and truly, it was James speaking through it.

Barry walked down from upstairs "Yes Cale two?" asked Barry

"Cale too? What About - hey!" It took Cale a moment to realize what the secondy meant. "Show some respect! I should at least be Cale 1- I am your house prefect and after all you are a Ravenclaw," and then his brown eyes narrowed as he started down the youngin'. "You are a Ravenclaw aren't you?"

But he didn't have time to wait for the boy's response. There was so much to get done and such a little time to get it done in. "Where IS everybody?"

Nigel who happened to be coming up the stairs at the time heared the voice he recognized as Cale Thorton's. He sounded pretty strained as if something important was going on. Now, Nigel would normally of done something troublesome at this and made a joke, but under the circumstances of everything that had happened this year he decided he'd better not.

"What is it Cale?" Nigel asked calmly , sensing a bit of excitement by the look on Cale's face. "Is something going on? "

Stupid question, thought Nigel. Of course something was going on! Obviously there was something going on. Cale wasn't normally this excited about something. In fact, Nigel had NEVER seen Cale this excited about anything!

"Are we going to get to go back to Hogwarts?!?"
Agitatedly, he waited for a response, and for the rest of the ravenclaws to gather.

"Of cource I am Cale two! Its just that I know the other Cale better your well ho get round to" said Barry

"Whatever!" Cale said waving his wand around in a very elaborate fashion. A few seconds later large paintbrushes appeared out of the air and landed in a pile by his feet. "Don't number us. It's rude and I will not be a number!"

Cale reached down and picked up a few paintbrushes. "As for my announcement, " He looked around the room. "I was going to wait for more people to be here. I imaine they're still all down at the pitch celebrating our win..."

He tossed a paintbrush at Nigel. "We're having a painting party!"

Jesse Helini silently watched as the older boys shouted about in the Common Room, normally the young boy would have just ignored them and continued on his way to his dorm, but, at the words "Painting Party" Jesse felt his ear's perk slightly and was now quite interested in what the Prefect had to say.

"A Painting Party?" Asked the smaller red-headed boy as he crossed over to the other boys, although he was quite small and young, Jesse had absolutley no qualms whatsoever about approaching the other older students, His bright yellow eye's studying the paintbrushes that the Prefect Cale had made appear,

"I never really have liked the color white" The first year said with a sneaky grin sliding across his pale face. "But, will we get into too much trouble for it?"

"Awesome!!! I cannot STAND this whiteness!" Nigel yelled excitedly, starting to paint. "Let's get to work and add some colour to this madhouse!" Happilly , Nigel went crazy with his brush all around the oroom painting everything he could blue.

Jesse Helini grinned as he also took up a paintbrush, his courage intensified by the older Student's excitement.
"I've never actually painted the Muggle way before" Jesse stated to the other young man, Now that Jesse was standing more closely to him, he noticed that the other boy couldn't be more then a year or two ahead of him. Jesse Grinned again even more widely and continued moveing his paintbrush in what he thought was the right way, but he ended up just getting alot of paint everywhere and simply repainting the same spot over and over again, trying in his ery heartfelt way to make it look the same as the color on the can, completely unaware of the fact that it would like that way, once it Dried.
But, that didn't really bother Jesse one bit and he continued on with his happy chore.

Cale ignored Barry. If the boy continued to call him by a number, he would not only get a nice glop of paint thrown at the back of his head, but he would take the issue up with their head of house.

Instead he busied himself with opening up the paint canisters and mixing up the paint. He was happy that the two younger students were excited about desecrating redecorating of the common room. He was sure that if they were to come back the following year, then the white would be back, but by golly! If Cale had anything to say about it, the people or elves who would be stuck repainting it, were going to have to cover it with more then 2 layers of paint.

"Why didn't we do this Sooner?" Jesse asked the room at large, he was still painting over the same spot but, was getting rather bored and decided to play the Muggle game Tic Tac Toe with himself,
One of the reasons Jesse liked playing this game alone was because he always won,
Jesse quickly finshed up a few rounds and then turned to the Prefect whose name was Cale,
"Wanna Play Hangman?" He asked, his bright eye's gleaming slightly in his enthusiasm.

"I don`t have time for this I have to pack is finally time to leave this wretched place" said Barry and he headed upstairs to pack
