Constantine Masterson was busy attending to a rather LARGE pile of wood. He had spent all morning creating a pit and then fire-proofing anything within a 100 ft radius. He was now getting all the wood set up in a tee-pee shape. To a patch of grass off to the side was sitting quite a few baskets of food and LARGE blankets. There were also some extra sleeping bags in case any body forgotten theirs or just didn't have one. Come on up! The party's just about to start!

"No," mumbled Daphne in defeat, taking it out on the grass some more. She was doing Hogwarts another service. Getting rid of their weeds. "It's just sometimes I don't even know how to relate to her anymore. So I..." There was no way she was going to admit she was scared to Copernicus Kettleburn. Frowning disapprovingly at him, she decided to end their alliance then and there. Trickster, this one. Lulling her into a false sense of security then bombarding her with questions.

Beans! Ha! "Just don't take her too far away from me, okay?"

And then, she brooded, Stupid boys and their stupid....whatever. Stupid boys! Then roughly, she took his hands and poured beans on his hands. "Have some more beans!" Don't choke.

Mari didn't quite understand it, but she was glad that at least no one had tried to do anything stupid. " You're welcome," She said, standing closer to Cayden. The slightly odd moment was diffused by Robert addressing another person, something Mari was thankful for. " So...this is interesting. One big camp out. I'm going to have a hard time making sure no dirt gets in my sleeping bag." She said, making small talk at the moment because she didn't know what else to say.

Cayden smiled at Elizabeth as their was quiet a story with the both of them. Something he would have to discuss with her. She seemed to have conversation with several people at the moment so he would do it a little later in the night."Miss Chatter Box." He addressed Liz as he tilted his pin stripped fedora at her. He was informed he should wear them more often, seeing as they looked nice on him. He could see that Robert was ignoring him which was fine with him. It wasnt like their was going to be any good conversation between them as it was."Robert." he said as he wanted to add more dislike in his tone, but he had to behave tonight.

Mari squeezed his hand again as he was unsure the reasoning behind it. She was having a difficult time...It was worse for him. He leaned over to kiss her head as he was hoping it would give her some comfort. He listened to Mari talk about camping as he tried to think about the time he had gone camping." I dont think I've ever gone camping." he spoke aloud as Mari went on about how nature wasnt aloud inside her bag. He snickered as he looked over at Elizabeth. " If you wouldnt mind sometime tonight I would like to talk to you. Privately." Of course nothing was really private with people around." Maybe a walk if possible. When its convent for you." he asked her as he would like to talk to her about a few things. He smiled at everyone as he moved to put his hands into his pockets. It was quiet for a few seconds as he added." So exciting...the..outdoors." Yeah. He turned to Mari as he gave her an awkward smile.

"I'm not taking her anywhere," he gave her a sideways look before tossing one bean in the air. His attempt to catch it... failure. It bounced off his nose and rolled toward the fire. Sheepishly, he stuck one in his mouth.

Mmm. Peppermint.

"I can't choose her friends, but if I could, I would choose someone like you. The other girls she spends time with are... boy crazy. You're rational and level-headed. I think the two of you are good for each other, right?" He stared at his knees.

Ama · 08-07-2009, 03:23 AM

Her suspicion still not fully evaporated, Daphne observed Kettleburn speculatively. Smart, he may be, but his hand to eye coordination wasn't worth a knut. Laughing slightly, Daphne rubbed at the back of her neck. So? She didn't like boys now?

Sigh. "I guess?" she repeated not wanting to blow up at Cope, not when he seemed to be trying so hard. "But Cela knows what she's doing most of the time," defended Daphne waving one hand. "If not all the time. She's super smart and she always, or well, usually thinks of the consequences before doing something."

But Daphne was sure Kettleburn knew this. "She's a lot of fun," she admitted and frowned at Cope's knees. What was he looking for. "I just tag along. What's wrong with your knees? Bugs bite you?" finished Daphne in an urgent whisper and waved her wand.

Where? Where? She'd get it!

Cassirin · 08-07-2009, 03:32 AM

"She's really smart and really fun," Cope agreed with a little misty look and a sigh. UGH. He was crazy over the girl, obviously. Crazy. "I sort of just tag along too, to be honest. I can't keep up, and I know I'm sort of boring sometimes. I suppose we're alike in being the sensible one who gets a lot of benefit from being with someone like Cela."

He peeked at Daphne. "Uh. I saw one there. A spider." He pointed at the ground.

Ama · 08-07-2009, 03:39 AM

Whatever Copernicus had just said, Daphne blocked it out of her mind at the mention of a spider. Giving a loud yelp, she aimed at where he pointed, trusting his judgment and without further ado...

Pretty much blew part of the ground sky high, sprinkling herself, Cope and possibly Garret with bits of grass and soil.

"....did I get it?" Inquired Daphne looking for dismembered spider legs.

Cassirin · 08-07-2009, 03:44 AM

"You got a whole lot of things, actually," Cope whispered, inching back from her wand point. "That is a very fast draw, Daphne Hopton. Frightening really. We should duel sometime. I think you'll give me a run for my money."

Ama · 08-07-2009, 03:51 AM

"Sorry," whispered Daphne raising one hand with a wrinkled nose and wiggling her fingers at Copernicus in an apology. "I just really don't like bugs." As if to prove her honesty, she began dusting off dirt and grass from Cope's hair and shoulders. "Actually, I'm not very good at dueling. I'm afraid of confrontations," she confessed again in that urgent whisper she had used to apologize as if frightened anyone would overhear her. "I don't do very well with violence."

Right. Right? "Well, sometimes it calls for it but--I honestly...Well, only if you want to."

Why was she rambling?

TMHFPolska · 08-07-2009, 03:52 AM

Hayley meandered down to the camp-out and spotted baskets of...oh..my...lawd! S'MORE MAKINGS! She filled her arms with chocolate bars, marshmallows, graham crackers, and a roasting stick. She sat down a safe enough distance from the fire, stuck a 'mallow on the stick, and held it above the coals of the fire, turning every so often so that it didn't burn...Gooey golden-brown goodness!
After a few minutes, Hayley placed the perfectly roasted marshmallow on the chocolate which was of course, on half of a cracker...she placed the other half ontop of the marshmallow, and squished it all together. Yay S'mores!

Si · 08-07-2009, 03:59 AM

As soon as Pietro spotted a campfire, he made a beeline for it. Pie had a major interest in fire. He always got in trouble for making attempts to play with hot coals as a child. He knew that the muggles did some thing called smoshes when they had campfires. After seeing the supplies for the smoshes, Pie started bouncing around. He could barely contain himself while he was fixing the smoshes like the muggles did. After he got the smosh done, he took a seat next to a girl that looked about his age. Pie had older friends in school who were girls like Daphne, Cela and Evolette but he'd never made a friend who was his own age at Hogwarts. "So are you enjoying your smosh? My name's Pietro and I like smoshes because they have chocolate in them!"

Where was Torin?

Target Acquired.

Fyo made ready to POUNCE on Torin, before deciding he could do that later. He was sort of sleepy at the moment, you know. Sort of, mark you. "Where have you been?" he asked, pulling at a clump of grass as he sat down. "I was looking for you, badkitty."

Very badkitty.

TMHFPolska · 08-07-2009, 04:08 AM

Hayley had the S'more inches away from her mouth. The smell of chocolate was filling her nostrils. Oommmm...."Whahu?!" Looking around, she spotted a boy who was sitting next to her. When did that happen? The uneaten S'more sat forlornly in her hands...just waiting to be nommed upon!
"Oh..hi. I'm Hayley, and I have no idea what a smosh is, but I do like chocolate!"

WhittyBitty · 08-07-2009, 04:09 AM

He turned to face a silly Lion. "I've been here clinging to Vannie. Where have you been?" He poked Fyo and then said, "You need to like work on your detective skills, mate."

"Oh..hi. I'm Hayley, and I have no idea what a smosh is, but I do like chocolate!"

"Isn't that what the muggles call what we're eating? It's nice to meet you though!" Pietro tipped the brim of his hat and gave Hayley a grin. He kept glancing at her uneaten smosh and taking bites of his own smosh. "Chocolate is the best thing ever! I'm not allowed to have it at my aunt's house. I can't stand her sometimes. She can be very unbearable. My parents told me I have to spend half of my SUMMER with her this year. Not looking forward to that at all!" Pietro loved his auntie but she was quite ridiculous when he stayed at her house for a week every summer as it was. He didn't know if he could handle all of the...responsibilities she gave him during the holidays.

Clinging to Vannie?

Well, that figured. Figured plenty.

"No wonder you look so happy," Fyo said, rolling his eyes. "If Miles could read minds, dude, you'd be dead meat." He yawned, stretching. "I like camp thingies."

Talk about randomness.

Finally! He was talking! Hayley took her first heavenly bite of the S'more. "Uh...actually...it's called a S'more. Cuz once you have one, you always want some more!" Giggling about her own wittiness, she took another bite. Gooey melty goodness!

"Lots of family members can be unbearable. My grandmother is like....eeep." Hayley shivered at the thought of the grey-haired, frail-looking but tough as nails woman. Hayley finished her S'more, then looked up at the boy, giving him a once over. He looked about her age. "Hey....I really like your hat.." it was a REALLY cool hat...

She speared another marshmallow and began the S'more making process again.

"S'more? OH I GET IT!" Pietro started laughing at his own little made up word for S'more. Smosh and S'more KIND of sounded alike right? RIGHT? They did in Pietro's mind anyway. He listened to Hayley mention her grandmother while munching on his S'more. "Why is your grandmother scary sounding?" Pietro was naturally curious so he wasn't sure if he was being rude or not. Hopefully he wasn't. He didn't want to mess up the first friendship he had made with someone who looked his age. "I like this hat too. Let's see how you look in it!" Pie took his hat off and put it on Hayley's head. His practically untamed hair was now in the open for the girl to see. "I think it looks good on you."

WhittyBitty · 08-07-2009, 04:40 AM

"Shut up!" he hissed. Did he want Vannie to hear that or something? "I like camp stuff too," he added slightly confused as to where that like suddenly came from.

Hayley giggled along with Pietro. His laugh was funny in that, 'I'm laughing so you gotta laugh' sort of way.

Taking a deep breath, Hayley tried to put her grandmothers scariness lightly. "Welll...she's just...one o' them really scary-ish old ladies. She's snooty...and seems to think all children belong in a cage..." being in a cage is NOT FUN! "and let's see.....oh! She always fusses over my sister, but ignores me. She's kind of a meany. What about your aunt? How is she unbearable?"

Before she knew what was happening, BAM! Pietro's hat was on her head. She touched the brim of it lightly, then made her best model face. "Looks good huh?" She glanced up at him...wowzers! He had lotsa wild hair! "You should have this back," she said, taking off the hat and placing it back on the boy's head, before tipping the brim over his eyes. "Much better."

"Won't," Fyo insisted. "I don't care if anyone hears." Which wasn't true, really - Torin was always in enough trouble as it was, and Fyo did not feel like adding to it, anytime soon. Or ever. But teasing Torin was, like, his number one hobby, if you know what I mean.

"You like camp stuff, too?" he asked, his eyes lighting up. That reminded him of Uncle Henry. UGHHH! "So," he began, a little cautiously. "Would you like to go to a .... muggle camp?" Say yes. Please say yes.

A grimace came onto his face as he took a deep breath to explain his oh so lovely aunt. "My aunt Allegra is a good person, don't get me wrong, but she is a very cruel woman. She's the head of our...family business. Very unforgiving woman, but a very smart woman." He couldn't bear to think of the things Allegra had ordered to be done to people. Pietro giggled when Hayley handed him his hat back. "You should get a hat like this! I have a closet full of them because of this hair I have. The fedora makes you look awesome!"

Scrunching up her eyebrows, Wesley tried to figure how exactly you where supposed to heat it up. Was she supposed to levitate the whole thing in front of the fire? Was it even possible to levitate more than one thing at once? If only the pieces would stick together, then it would be so much more easier. Wesley tried smushing it all, but the graham cracker broke, dropping on the ground. Now it was all dirty...

Grabbing another one, Wesley tried again, more carefully than the previous time. It seemed to be working, until the chocolate became goopy from her hand's heat, sticking in chocolatey softness all over her palm.

Waving her left hand in the air, the Hufflepuff tried without success to release the chocolate. It just wouldn't budge. Eager to get rid of the stain, she rubbed the chocolate onto the grass, right next to the chunk of cracker.

This isn't working, Wesley thought depressingly. Surely it wasn't supposed to be this hard. After all, if a muggle could do it, so could she. Obviously Wesley was doing something wrong.

Looking around to see how the others would do it, the tiny brunette spotted one person who seemed to be cooking it quite professionally.

Ohhhhh...you only cook the marshmallow. That made a lot of sense.

And, from the looks of it, you cooked it on a stick. Wrinkling her nose, Wesley couldn't help but think that it seemed so unsanitary. But...it was how you where supposed to go about doing it. It was the right way.

And, it wasn't like she had to eat it. Just...experience the process.

Grabbing a stick, Wesley stuck on a marshmallow, and headed over to the fire. Plopping down on the ground, all the while watching the girl for an example, the first year put the stick in the fire, wondering how exactly she would know when it was done.

Aren't sticks flammable???

From where he sat a little way away from the fire, nursing his stinging face, Jake watched the rest of the students and staff having fun, feeling a little resentful. Grrr.

That was when he noticed that one girl who'd headbutted in the common room one time. Hmmm, head injuries seemed to happen around her. It took a while before Jake realised he was watching her, like when you just drift off... become hypnotised by the world around you.

All that jazz.

Well, Jake needed a friend, his sister was nowhere near him and his favourite teachers were busy or Jake was steering clear of them. Nodding firmly to himself, Jake pushed himself up and wandered over to sit next to the girl he remembered to be Wesley (one doesn't necessarily forget an odd name as such in a hurry) and sat beside her, keeping the smarting side of his face out of her view... he was sure it was red right now.

Opening his mouth to say hi, Jake noticed that Wesley was watching Dani for guidance and immediately lost his voice, deciding to close his mouth and say nothing... just sit and wait for her to talk.

"It was only for like, five minutes before my dad came in...saw me sitting in a newspaper lined cage, and then freaked out on my grandmother for being so...I dunno...psychotic. She tried to explain that I'd been misbehaving...the only thing I'd done was track a speck of mud on her carpets."

Hayley noticed to look of...dislike?...on Pietro's face as he talked about his aunt. "The way you say 'family business' makes it sound like you're a mafia family," she said giggling at the ridiculous thought. "OH! OH MY GOODNESS! Did you hear that there are two mafia people here at Hogwarts?! I guess they are all covered in tattoos, and they caused a ruckus at the Start of Term Feast!"

"With the right hair product and a good haircut, I'm sure you could tame that wild hair, but it so wouldn't be as cool as your fedora!" Hayley studied it again. "Where can I get on of them?"

"I like camp stuff, yes. And I would go to a Muggle camp." He was sorta annoyed ith Fyo now, so his tone wasn't too friendly.

There was the fire, roaring and crackling. Glimmering sparks were flying up into the dark night. All around the fire, in little groups, the students - and the professors as well - sat or stood, talking and laughing and consuming unhealthy amounts of marshmallows. Above, the black sky arched majestically (and circumferentially). It was even better than Professor Bunbury's garden party.

Ah yes, and the sky... Kiri did not feel tired at all, and she hoped she'd be able to stay awake after the fire had gone out as well to watch the stars swirling overhead. Apart from the castle itself, there were no other lights anywhere near Hogwarts - best possible conditions for a little stargazing. Her mind returned to the here and now. "Hey, Emiliano, you're not getting bored of this, are you?" she asked. "You must have done a thousand of those s'mores by now. Not that I'm complaining," she added, taking a bite out of yet another one (she felt quite full by now), "but maybe you should take a break, eat something yourself."

Students ran around, professors talking among each other and to students, groups maybe having in mind some kind of food fight all of the sudden, which Em hoped didn't happen, because he had just taken a great shower (just to have energy for the night) and his curls were in perfect state. "Oh, yess...perfect." He repeated after Kiri with a smile.

Was still a chance in this camp-out that Karma atkins would appear? He believed not. She was being really studious, eager to graduate. That made him happy, though made him frown at the same time when he thought about her departure towards the real world. A year without Atkins would almost be a nightmare, he just knew. Sigh.

He woke up from his daydream, as he listened to Kiri say if he was getting any bored of this. "Oh, not at all. I was just about to stop, actually and eat a few S'mores with a glass of pumpkin juice. As I told you, this is a bit...new to me: Sharing a few life stories all of the sudden with a friend, hoping to make some more, of course. I like this. I think I will include a fire in the schedule for Karma's graduation." He mentioned, now willing to invite Kiri.

"Hey, now that I mentioned it, and since you and Karma now know each other," Em paused for a bit, trying to get the right words, "I'd like for you to attend that party. It will be shortly after the term ends, I shall send you the invitation if possible, but now you already know and I hope you can be there." He sounded a bit...weird, did he?

Well, it's hard for a guy to invite friends to a party.
