Ryder stood at the end of the Shoots waiting for Simone. It was 12:07 a.m. and she was late. With every passing second, Ryder would get more and more angry. If she forgot about their plan and made him wait for nothing, he would take the shoestrings she gave him and wring her neck! All of that good behavior she got earlier in the day from him, would be null and void.

Simone was fighting with herself about actually doing this, but she finally decided that she wanted too, even if it could possibly get her into trouble with her Aunt. But she needed to be reblious for a little while. Besides, whats a little bit of harmless toilet paper going to do to that hut? It can be cleaned off with water, or a wand.


She quietly, walked up behind Ryder, she could tell he was angry already. She was a bit late. She re-adjusted the thigh holster that was holding her wand. Taking a deep breath, she tapped him on the shoulder. She was definitely stylish in all camo. Her shirt, shorts, and even shoes were camo. She even had a camo headband in her hair to keep her long, brown, locks in place. She gave him a small worried smile, and whispered, "Hey. Sorry I know I'm late. Are you ready?"

Much to Ryder's surprise, Simone showed up and looking...seriously? Ryder looked her over from head to toe. We are toilet papering a hut, not invading a foreign country. "Yeah, you are late. What? Did your camo's not match?"

Simone had a feeling she was going to get attitude. She folded her arms across her chest, and pursed her lips. "Don't start with me Ryder. I'm here, about to toilet paper my AUNT's hut, with you." She said the would you as if he were a disgusting bug, before she realized it. She flushed, and then quickly continued, "Not that being here with you is a bad thing...I just...dont like the way you speak to me sometimes. And yes. My camo does match thank you very much." She said, with a loud humph and stuck her nose up in the air.

Wheeee!

Slides were fun, as long as they didn't mess up her hair. Karma's perfect blonde curls were pulled back by a headband which obviously matched her outfit. It was late at night anyway, so she was wearing her favorite jeans and her comfy orange sneakers. The favorite part, other than her shoes? Of course, the shirt. Precious stumbled out behind her, and caught up to her owner.

A sound of quiet yet angry voices drifted towards Karma's ears, and it was time for her to be nosey. Quietly, she made her way towards a girl who looked semi-familiar and a boy who definitely wasn't.

"Oh how cute," she mused quietly, her arms crossed and walking slowly towards the pair. "A lover's quarrel."

Smirk. She tossed her hair over her shoulder, and waited for someone to say something.

Ryder was about to respond to Simones comment when out of the corner of his eye he noticed...someone. A girl who looked as though she was peculiarly interested in what he and Simone were discussing. He looked at her as though she was quite the inconvenience; his eyes were wide open and shifting from side to side, his mouth gaped open a tad. "I promise this conversation has nothing to do with you, whoever you are. Do you mind?"

Simone saw someone hovering in the shadows, the girl looked familiar. Older than her, but still familiar. Then Ryder had to open his big mouth...GAH!




Simone rolled her eyes. Did he not know that if you say that to a girl, all girls for that matter, they are going to want to know whats going on. He should really talk to her before he opened his mouth to speak sometimes. She could have come up with a great story about them being a couple and just having a very passionate conversation about who loved who the most or something STUPID LIKE THAT, but, no. Ryder had to be dumb. Simone sighed and shook her head without saying a word to him.

Karma looked at the girl who was looking at her in return. She smiled at her to let her know she wasn't about ready to bite her head off or anything. Just being nosey.

Karma raised an eyebrow as the boy addressed her, her head tilting up slightly. Oh yes, she saw that falter with his mouth open slightly - no one could hide anything from Karma. They were up to something, especially him. And he looked thoroughly annoyed, as if she had interrupted someone. "Oh forgive me kind sir," she said, placing one hand on her necklace with the other on her waist. Her tone full of sarcasm, she smirked. "But, I really don't mind if it's about me or not. Carry on."

She wasn't going to move.

Ryder half smiled. She was one of those. He laughed a little then walked over to her. He was hiding the fact that he was completely infuriated. This wasn't her business and wasn't going to let it be. "You must think I'm pretty weak. That I'm just going to melt in some little puddle and let you listen in on our conversation. And you must be used to that with all the weak people running around here. Now, either go away or we do!"

Oh. Simone suddenly remembered who this girl was. She was the seventh year ravenclaw she had seen around in a few places.

Oh...Ryder wasnt going to like that statement. She turned to look at him, a little scared to see his reaction.





The expression on simones face was an interesting mix between the "someone's about to hit me" face, and the "oh crap here comes the yelling" face. She quietly sighed, and walked up behind him, putting her left hand on his right shoulder, her right hand gripped his right, and stretching up on her toes so that she could whipser in his ear. "Ryder, calm down. She could help..." her sentence trailed off. She didnt want to tell what they were doing. She sank down off her toes, let go of his shoulder, but kept hold of his hand, not realizing she did so.

A flicker of amusement crossed Karma's eyes as the boy got mad at her. She could tell he was upset by her presence, yet all she was doing right now was standing there confronting them.

Looking up at him, she crossed her arms. "If I thought you were weak, would I be making you as mad as you are now? No. If I thought you were weak, you'd already be dancing along like a good little puppet." Her voice was low and dangerous - her warning tone that if you messed with her, you would be seeing China very, very soon.

Her eyes turned towards the girl again, who mentioned help. Help... Hmm. She had been right after all, they were planning something.

Hairflip.

Ryder didn't know if he like the fact she was holding his hand or was completely irritated by it. Maybe this girl could help or maybe she could help getting him expelled. He wasn't quite sure he could take the risk.

"You've got to be kidding me, right? You're world must be a happy one. The world is at your feet and you...the queen." Ryder realized that this chick wasn't worth his time. He had better things to do than argue with a complete nosey stranger with an overinflated sense of self. Ryder stepped a little closer to her. "I'm not your puppet. I'm not going to give you more of an ego trip. I've got things to do and the most amazing thing about them, they don't include you!"

Ryder turned to Simone. "She's not moving but I am. Either you're with me on this or you're not. What do you want to do?"

Simone just completely ignored the other girl, other then noticing how amazing her hairflip was. But who cares about a hair flip! CMON SIMONE!




Simone decided it was time to take out the big guns. She had to calm him down, and quickly. It was mostly her fault that he was acting this way. If she had been on time he wouldnt have been angry to begin with.

Simone stepped infront of him, and stood on her tip toes, as if she were in her ballet pointe shoes, so that she could be closer to his height. She gently brushed her finger tips against his cheek, before resting her hand there. "Ryder," She said, quietly and very calmly, "I'm with you. But you need to calm down. She really might be able to help us. The...thing is very big you know." She stopped, and looked deep into his eyes, "Please." She said, gripping his hand, and gently stroking his cheek.

"If you want to get expelllllled," Karma half sang-half said to them. "Your choice. But if you want to get away with whatever it is you're dooooing, come to meeee for advice."

She looked down at her kitten, and started to head down towards the lake. Maybe Professor Morgan was in her hut.

Oooh. There were new people, yes there were. Precious looked up at the two students with big eyes, but once the boy started being mean to her Karma, Precious took it upon herself to deal with that Sneakily, she walked over to his shoes and untied them, and chewed on the end of the shoelace. He was a big meaniehead, yes he was. She pounced on his foot and batted at it. HMPH. That would show him. The girl seemed nice though, so Precious rubbed against her legs. ZOMG KARMIE IS LEAVINGGG, must follow! She scampered off after her owner, tempted to bite the boy's shoe.

Ryder was glaring at the girl when something attempted to get closer to height and block his view. He half closed his eyes for a small moment. Although still quite angry, her touch seemed to calm him a bit. Shoud that have happened?

With her hand gripped in his, she made a plea. Whatever, he thought. He grabbed her hand that was on his cheek and held it lightly. Then in a calmer voice, he said, "She can help, but you do the talking. I'm done. I just want to get this thing done and be done. Don't make me regret this, little one." He let go of her hand and stepped away. If this plan was going to work he needed a clear head.

Ryder looked down and rolled his eyes. Stupid cat!

It was like the heavens had opened, and the angels were singing. Well..not really, but her idea worked! She took a deep breath and gave a small sigh of relief. Beefore he could get to far away from her, she grabbed his arm, stood on her toes again, and kissed his cheek. "Thank you, and dont worry. I will handle it." She gently rubbed his arm, before turning around to walk over to the older girl.




Simone quickly ran after the girl. It was a good thing she was wearing her converse, otherwise she would be sinking in the ground with any of her other shoes. "WAIT!" She called out to the girl.

When Karma had started to walk away, she noticed Precious wasn't behind her. Hmm. That kitten needed to take a lesson from Muffin to make sure to follow behind whens he left. No getting lost!

Scamper along, scamper behind Karmie! Scratch the ears, scratch the ears. DASH to Karmie! Get her shoelaces! Pounce!

Karma stopped as she heard the girl yelling at her. She smirked slightly and stopped, and turned slowly just in time to hae Precious run into the back of her legs. Silly kitten.

"Yes?"

Ryder really didn't think about Simone kissing his cheek. He just wanted to get this over with and between her being late and Little Miss Queen of the World, it was taking much too long to even get started. He did feel a little reassured that Simone would handle...her.

Once Simone finally caught up to the girl, stopped, and smiled, slightly nervous with the information that she was about to divuldge, but it was a big hut. She took a deep breath and began to speak, "Alright. Despite Ryders anger, we really do need the help. He was mad at me to begin with, because I was late, and we only have a small time frame to do this in. So you coming along and listening to our converstaion really didnt help his....attitude. No offense!" She said with a slight pause before continuing. "Anyways, I was hoping you could help us, as long as you promise not to tell a soul what we are doing, and if you rat us out...dont think I cant curse you." She said the last bit slightly rudely, but only to get the point across.



Simone turned really quick, to check out Ryder's whereabouts. She was sure he was so beyond angry right now...but she needed to handle this first.

Karma raised an eyebrow at the girl's last remark about hexing. Karma was a Ravenclaw after all. She was one of the best duelers. "I'm in Ravenclaw for a reason sweets," she said, winking. Okay, so maybe it was rude. But still.

"So tell me," she said, looking over the girl's shoulder toward the boy. Ryder? Interesting name. "What exactly are you planning? And what spells do you need me to do that you can't?"

Seventh year Ravenclaw. Those three words could scare anyone.

Ryder watched as Simone and Miss Ego Trip talked. He paced around waiting for them to finish. He put his hands together and put them up to his face. Do girls really have to yip like little dogs? Why can't they just get to the point?

"At the rate you two are going, it'll be morning soon! Wanna wrap this up?"

Simone rolled her eyes, not that the other girl could see. She felt like she was back at Beaux's again for some reason. This girl was a snot and a half. She decided to ignore that first comment and answer her question. "Well, we are going to tp Professor Morgan's hut. As for the spells, dont worry hunny...I was top of my house last year at Beauxbaton's, and im in the top five in my house here. I've also used the spell...many times." She paused, Blonde's always seem to be the meanest, "So do you want to help? Live a little?" She said with a slight attitude.






Simone looked over her shoulder and gave Ryder the evilest looking face she could. Not that he could see her since it was dark outside other than the few lights that were on in the castle. She rolled her eyes, and turned back to the older girl.

Karma rolled her eyes. Like it really mattered, anyway. But still. People had to show off every now and then, it was allowed. She wondered what Evee would think of this girl. And Ryder, since he definitely had the air of 'Slytherin' written in his expression.

Hairflip. "Oh, I live a lot."

She turned her head towards the guy who told them to hurry up. She narrowed her eyes, and then back to the girl.

"What do you need help with? Do you want me to enchant the paper?"

Simone grinned. HA! She knew a spell that this girl obviously didnt know. She wanted to enjoy the moment, but decided she didnt want to keep Ryder waiting much longer. "No actually, I know a spell that will shoot the toilet paper out of the end of our wands. The reason I'm asking for your help is because, well, it is a rather big hut for just the two of us." She shrugged, then folded her arms acrossed her chest.

Karma rolled her eyes, making sure the girl saw her. The whole point of TP'ing someone's house was to do it by hand. Sure, magic would give you better results, but what was the fun in it? It was a Muggle prank.

An amateur one. "This is extremely amateur. If you want a good prank, you charm the toilet paper, then throw it by hand. Then when you try to get rid of it, it doesn't move. But that's immature."

She tossed her hair over her shoulder. Obviously this girl thought she was the best, and Karma wasn't going to have it. "Next time, think of a better plan sweets. One that Muggles can't do."
