Dorn was sitting on a bench opposite to the tapestry. He had been looking at it for quite a while now, he found it to be rather interesting. "A unique piece", he thought, wondering what's been through it's creator's mind when he made it.

Aly skipped down the hall and dropped her bag next to the bench opposite the tapestry. She shucked off her coat and draped it on the bench. Turning towards the mysterious tapestry, she set her hand on her hips and stared. "Interesting."

Jude was walking past one of the corridors up on the 4th floor, when he saw, and heard, something that he knew couldn't be true. Halting, his face turned into a disbelieving smile, and he slowly backed up a few feet to get a better look.

Sure enough, staring at the weird tapestry, was Aly. His face started turning bright red as he thought about what he was about to do. Or... crud, what he was in motion of doing.

Without even thinking, he had started running toward her going "Aaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyy!!!!!!" and his arms outstretched wide.

Aly's head swung around at that bellow. Her eyes widened and a grin spread across her face. "JUDDDDDEEEEE!!!" She squealed, running towards him. Once she got close enough, she launched herself at him and wrapped her arms around his neck. She was basically hanging from his neck. "You seem happy to seee meee."

Jude didn't know what to say, so he just hung on and swung her back and forth for a moment before letting her have her own space. "Because I AMM!!!!" he said excitedly, "'Ogwarts 'as been mighteh borin' fer me... I 'aven't realleh made aneh new frien's... been sticken ta mahself, mos'ly... O course I always 'ave Lucy... bu'... tha's not tha same." he said looking down before looking up at her with the shyest of smiles.

She giggled and clung tighter to him so she wouldn't fly off. "You're so silly." She replied, letting go and slipping to the floor. "It can't be THAT boring, can it?" She asked, putting both of her hands on her hips and looking at him. "How is Lucy doinng?" She asked, bouncing around on her heels.

Jude smiled at her, "Heheh... Yeah... You'd be suhprised, I thank." he answered, and then looked outside, "She's doin' jus' fine... She's outside roight now.... flyin' around or sumthang," he said. ""Ow's yer kitteh doin'??" he asked, heading over to the bench nearby, since they WERE on the subject of animals...

"Well, Hogwarts isn't boring to me because it has a lot more things to do than when I am at home." She looked at the tapestry and sighed. "Oh well, though. I'm back for a little bit, so you won't be bored anymore." She backed up a couple of steps until she felt the edge of the bench against the back of her legs and plopped down on it. "She's in my bag, probably sleeping." She replied, glancing at at the side pocket of the bag. "If you want to pet her, you can get her out. She's been sleeping all day anyways."

Reese wandered around the fourth floor, trying to decide what she was going to do today.She needed to do something productive.But....what?She was sooo TIRED of doing homework.If she has to stare at parcment any longer,she'll go cross-eyed.

Reese walked up to a tapestry that was hanging on the wall.Awwwweh.It was so cute.She stepped backwards a few stpes until she was leaning against the wall that was opposite of the tapestry.

Fallon prowled the fourth floor, her heels clicking as she walked. Today, Fallon doned a pair of Chanel stilettos on her perfectly pedicured feet, a light blue Juicy Couture t-shirt under a navy Marc Jacobs jacket and dark wash Diesel jeans. Of course she smelled of high fashion. And that had nothing to do with the Chance by Chanel purfume she was wearing.

She spotted a familiar head of brown hair and nearly pounced on the girl. "Hey bff!," she exclaimed to Reese, a wide smile on her face revealing her perfectly straght and white teeth. "What's the latest?"

Reese was getting ready to head down to the common room until she heard someone footsteps approaching her.It wasn't just normal footsteps either.It was these high pitch clinking noises that got REEEEEALLY annoying.Grrrrrr.Those clinking noises were going to give her a major headache.She should just run away from that noise.She not a happy person when she has headaches.

Reese was about to make a dash for it,but then that person's voice made her freeze.She turned around and saw Fallon coming towards her. "Ohhhh,heyyy,"she said. "Latest?Oh...why don't you tell me?Have you and Miles talked?"

Fallon watched Reese look like she was about to run off. "Going somewhere?" she asked, joking.
At the mention of Miles' name, her grin slid off her face like rain off a window. A low growl escaped her lips from the back of her throat, causing her to cross her arms. "Unfourtunately we have."
She wanted to kick at the ground but she remembered she was wearing her favorite pair of Chanel stilettos and that wasn't exactly the best idea. Merlin.

"Nwah.I'm not going anywhere,"Reese said with a little smirk.She started leaning against the wall,again,and looked at Fallon. When she heard that growl Fallon did, Reese gulped. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to mention Miles. "I'm sorry to hear to that,"she said. She wanted to ask how things went,but Fallon might rip her head off if she kept mentioning Miles. So... "How are you today?"

"Oh yeah? Me too," Fallon said, her voice a little ferocious as she referred to the "Miles Flippin' Parker" subject.
She tried to pick herself up again and grinned at Reese. Always be perfect, Fallon told herself. And she was dang good at it too. "Me? Oh, I'm pretty good, I guess. How about you? What's the latest in Reese's World?"

"I'm grrrrrrreat,"Reese said with a grin.She looked bck at the tapestry and then said, "Oh,Reese's world as been quite...boring,if you ask me. Except, I finally met up with my ex. I was expecting fireworks to go off,but nobody got mad at each other. That was good."

Fallon examined Reese closely, listening to her as she talked. "Interesting," she replied. "I'd never attempt to make up with one of my ex's. What's in the past is in the past. No point in bringing it back up again. That's what I think, anyways."
She sighed and twirled her long dark hair around her finger.

Reese shrugged. "I just sort of ran into him in the corridor.I just started talking to him,"she told Fallon. "But,enough about me. There has to be something interesting that happened to you this week." She grinned at Fallon.

"Yeaaaaah...no," Fallon said. "Nothing interesting. So far, being back at Hogwarts has been boring. I need some entertainment. I need something interesting to happen."
She stopped twirling her hair and sighed.

Reese nodded at what Fallon said. "We do need some entertainment,"she said. "Soooooo...have you seen those ghosts?" She looked at Fallon. "I know you've only here for a few days,but you should have AT LEAST seen a ghost. I've,unfortuantly,ran into Peeves. He threw dung bomb on me. I also met the Bloody Baron. He threated to haunt me in my dreams." So far, these ghosts weren't liking Reese very much.

Fallon shook her head. "Nope, no ghosts. Thank Merlin. Pesky little things. I'm not exactly fond of them, either."

She watched Reese for a moment. "And I hope you're not planning for us to take a feild trip to where some ghost is at just to have some 'entertainment'."

"I would be fond of the ghosts if they weren't threatening me...and throwing dungbombs at my head,"Reese told Fallon with a nod.

"A field trip?Heck no!I'm not getting anywhere near those ghost.The only ghost I actually like is Nearly-Headless Nick.He seems cool,"Reese said.

Cackle.

Click click.

It sounded as if someone was walking down the hallway tapping a stick on the floor as they walked.

A knotted, large nosed, yet very wooden looking head poked itself around the corner of the hall. The creatures was looking for a place to make a nest. It was certain that it's old nest had been destroyed by the smelly boy-man who had brought him to this new forest.

"Ohhh eeeeeewwwkkk!" a loud sound like a breaking branch echoed down the hallway as the gnomtruckle took off running towards the tapestry.

It jumped, launching itself at the tapestry where it clambered up a few inches before finding a thread. "Oooo weeee!" It snagged the loose thread and yanked, swinging back down to the ground.

"Weee hehe!" more tapping crackling noises filled the hallway as if someone was beating the stones with a 2 by 4.

The noise is what brought them to the corridor it was one he'd remember for the rest of his life, for very certain, Tobi got there first by virtue of the fact that he had longer legs and Alexis Chosen (Quidditch Captain and Slave Driver) had really upped his cardio output in the last 5 months.

As the gnometruckle swung from the tapestry threads, pulling them loose, Tobi stood back and waited for the others. "Well, he's certainly got a love for destruction, doesn't he?" Tobi paused. "Is it a he? Does it even have a gender?"

Tino slipped on the slick floor and nearly crashed into Tobi. The boy's legs were too dang long! How was he supposed to keep up like this? And Cale had not yet convinced Tino that the plant-gnome was even Evil. He was a man of chivalry, not cruelty. "Let little creepy things lie" had always been his motto in times like these.

"If the thing is the only of its kind, then the gender is a moot point," Tino panted, holding his sidestitch. "Can't we just let it go? It can find a nice little hidey-hole somewhere in the castle and live happily ever after and then we can go down to the Great Hall and have some lunch. . ."
