She could give the boy an electrical shock. That would surely separate them but, she didn't want to hurt him.

Her eyes looked from Vannie to across the campfire and she became giddy once again. That Garret boy was just too cute for words and whoever snagged him was going to have lots of fun with the boy. Well, she had her Christian. Everyone needed someone like her Christian...but of course they couldn't have HER Christian. He belonged to Lyra and to Lyra only!

Smirk!

INDIIIIGNAAATIOOOON!

"Umm...Can someone help me get two Hufflepuffs unstuck please?" She gave her charming smile as she looked towards Mr. Masterson since he was the first in line.

He righted himself quickly, looking up to check if Lyra had witnessed that embarrassing event, only to breathe out a sigh of relief to see that she wasn't there laughing at him. He turned back to Daphne, his nose up in the air and his arms crossed over his chest once more, "I'll 'ave you know that Lyra and I went on a date."

He smirked. There.

"Ever heard of Pinocchio, Garret?" inquired Daphne teasingly, tapping his nose repeatedly, cheeks blushing with an unknown fury.

He had gone on a date with Lyra Noir and had not bothered in telling her?!

POKE. POKE. POKE. POKE. POKE!

He pulled his head back and frowned at her, "I'm not tellin' lies," he rubbed his nose, checking to see if she'd broken anything, "If you don't believe me, we could go over and ask her, innit?"

Yes, let's go over! Let's say hi! Let's kiss Garret, Lyra!

And he poked her again, not on the forehead but on the cheek because ... yeaah he just poked her on her cheek. Taking another bite of his chocolate bar, he looked around to seeee if moooore people came.

ANDWAITWHAAAATTT?? Him? Not have friends?! "I DOOOO have friends Olivia, I'm--I'm the most POPULAREST kid in school actually," he lied and continued on with his blank expression, "Plants are nice. That's all. You're just jealous you don't have any plant friends. HMPH." She was.

He raised his eyebrows back when she told him... about... whatever she told him. "Polyjuice? Malifius Charm??" he said aaall confusingly and then started with the lecture, "No no, NOOOO, Livvy, see... Santa has powerzz. He ain't a wizard. He ain't a witch either. He's got powerz. Alright? He JUST does."

Cam continued looking at Nurse Avalon Santa and gave a staaaare at her bag.

*sniff*

He turned his freckled nose up at her as he tried to pull his arm out of her grasp, "It is true and YES," a gloating note entered his voice, "I kissed her."

Or, well, she kissed him. On the cheek. But well, it still counted.

Without further ado, she turned her back to Garret and laid on her belly on the blanket. Reaching for the corner of the blanket, her fingers wrapped around the remaining grass. Silently, she began pulling tufts of grass from the ground.

Fine. Fine. We're fine.

He wasn't eating much, but appeared to be enjoying himself immensely. Kiri watched him for a few moments, smiling silently to herself.
Soon, they had a stack of finished s'mores. "I'll take some of those over to Vanessa, alright?" Kiri said, grabbing a batch. She turned around and stumbled back to where she assumed her sleeping bag was. Night had set in properly by now, and she could hardly see more than a step or two, with her eyes all used to the brightness of the fire.

More people had joined Vanessa and the other Hufflepuff boy when Kiri arrived. "Hey, erm... Emiliano made some... s'mores, I think he called them, and they're really good. I brought you some," she announced and put them into the basket that still stood at the foot of her sleeping bag. When she straightened up, she could see the first stars twinkling in the night sky. For several seconds, Kiri stood and stared, then she remembered about Emiliano. "I'll go back to him now. See you in a bit?" She waved vaguely and trudged back towards the Ravenclaw.
He was still hard at work. Kiri squeezed his arm. "You know, you really do look like you're having fun."

LOL. Emiliano was having the fun of his life. "Oh, yes...I am having fun as if I was an eight year old. I think I haven't been out on camping since I was that age, when we went to Chiapas, in Mexico..." He mentioned, trying not to think that his parents were still a bit away from him, even though they had arrived to Great Britain from a long time ago. He had really missed them this year.

"In that forest," He continued, "...you cannot turn on a fire except on designed areas, but it's limited, it has too be natural. Like from the very old times..." He nostalgically sighed.

"Are you having fun, Kiri?" He asked her

Although, the boy really didn't expect anything different from Daphne Hopton. She was rarely normal, was she? And it seemed tonight was no exception. A second ago she'd been shaking him so hard that he could swear that he heard his brain rattle, and now there she was, picking the grass out of the ground.

"Well," he said, at a loss for words... wondering what he was supposed to say now... "Hmmm..." he picked up a Jelly Slug and sucked on one end as he watched Daphne lie there, "D'you fink she finks I smell bad?"

It was only after a few seconds that she came back to enough to realize what he was asking of her. Blushing slightly, she coughed. "Why would she think you smell bad? You smell nice enough. Like a boy."

Last he'd heard from Cela, which wasn't all that long ago, she thought that he smelled bad. He shrugged in the darkness, then realised that Daphne couldn't see him from her position on the ground so he spoke up, "Well, cos, she's a girl. And you're a girl, and you said I smell bad before, innit?"

"I said..." Daphne paused and wrinkled her brows at the resilient grass that would not, by all means, rip right off the ground! Struggling, she pulled at it with both hands. "When did I say that? I don't remember. Plus, I haven't smelled you, now have I? I can't make a properly informed guess if I can't recall how you smell anymore."

Honestly, last time she had been close enough to Garret to smell him had been second year. That was years ago.

Ya know? For saying I smell nice. Even if you used to fink I smelled bad."

He had been trying, ever since Cela told him that Daphne said that he smelt bad. He'd tried to make a more conscious effort about his hygiene. He even wore deodorant now!
