"That's because you've become Mr. Prefect." she laughed. "You've had to do a lot of stuff this term. Good job on halping save the princess, by the way." she smiled. "Yea I plan on having another awesome birthday party this summer, evil twin brother not included." she said, remembering her birthday last summer.

"Nice dog," he commented, giving Roma a pat on the head. "It must really help in patrolling the grounds to have a dog out here with you." Especially a big one like this, Antonio thought.

Constantine chuckled as Antonio handed him a couple recipes. "Cheers, mate," he smiled, slipping them into his pocket and then looking down at Roma. "She's a good girl," he smiled, as Roma sat nicely while Antonio patted her. "I like having her more for the company," he nodded.

"Hello, dear," he smiled back, and then turning to look at Caroline. "I hope you have a good time!"

Constantine chuckled. "It's all in good fun, my dear," he said he regained his balance. "No need to get all pushy in front of the kiddies, now. And yes, I will ACTUALLY," he mimicked her, "help you this time." Stepping around her, he picked up her bag. "Where to, oh great one of all things healing?"

Ah Merlin love Constantine.

No one else can bear to. He was fun, and he seemed to understand her. Which was sometimes a bad thing...

"Oh bring it up close to the fire, would you?" Caroline asked snickering at his imitation "Like I said, the great one of all things healing is on a mission."

She rather liked that name.

"Aye," Constantine complied, bringing it up close to the fire as she said. "On a mission? Do I get to know what this mission is?" He smiled and then chuckled a little as there was no way she was going to tell him.

"Would you like to sleep near me, tonight? I promise to keep Roma on my side," he chuckled.

Chris smiled brightly "Ah well that is true." He then almost blushed, "Aww thanks, it didnt really think i was actually going to Stun the King Merperson. I was as shocked as anybody." he laughed.

Chris laughed. "Well I will definately be back at your party, evil brother or not." he laughed

Lyra stumbled down to the grounds with her PINK sleeping bag, her PINK shoes, her PINK outfit. Nothing about her stated what house she was in except for the BLACK robes that sported the YELLOW crest. She'd sent a message to her wonderful PINK ladies and sponsor but she really hoped that maybe they could gather here for a bit. Hogwarts was almost over for her and she was ready to leave and start her real life in the real world.

LOOK OUT!

Kevin was having fun but he had still not found anybody to chat to maybe that would change in the next while or so he hoped anyway

William stretched his arms and legs, deciding to get up and move around. Nodding to Robert and Elizabeth he ventured over to the food, looking around. He was hungry, and hungry boys needed food. Plus he thought that perhaps the other two would want something too. Walking around, his hands in his pockets, his blue Ravenclaw crest showing proudly on his chest as he continued walking, finding that everyone was having fun. So was he though, even though he was still dealing with the aftermath of the merfight and the whole headmaster thing. He hoped he was okay, but he knew that the headmaster would want them to be mopey. There was time to worry later.

Right now was food time. A 13 year old boy who hadn't gone through his growth spurt yet. But there was time; time enough for him to grow. Spotting the food he made a bee-line for it, his mouth watering at the thought of marshmallows and drinks. He was really looking forward to a pumpkin juice. Stopping he noticed nurse Avalon and Mastersen. Shrugging he turned towards the food, grabbing what he wanted before turning and walking back to his small group. Dropping everything onto his sleeping bag he picked up his drink and drank from it before wiping his mouth. Flipping his potions book back open he began reading while nibbling.

Emiliano looked back at Kiri and chuckled. "Yes, that's the tradition. But I don't like them that way, the heat makes it melt, of course, but they turn sticky and it's hard to brush my teeth afterwards, not even mentioning the coal colour it leaves once it gets burned..." He tried to explain his bit of over care of his teeth health. It was natural, right?

Then, Kiri had an idea. Hmm...interesting. Once close to the fire, she showed her Charms skills, which were great. Let's just hope she wasn't so bad at timing when it gets to talk about marshmallows.

Emiliano stood up, grabbing his school bag along and taking out of it cookies and chocolate bars, mini chocolate bars. "Have you, tried...Ms. Starstalker, a delicious treat called Smores?" Em asked her, showing a wide smile and conjuring the levitation spell as well, though this time with the chocolate bar, towards where the marshmallow stood in mid-air. The bar quickly melted as desired on top of it, letting Emiliano try the same spell with a cinammon powdered cookie. He conjured the Smore back to his hand.

"This...Kiri...is what I call chef's work. I love the person who invented them, officially..." He chuckled towards his own comment then placed another cookie on top of the melted marshmallow and chocolate, as a sandwich. "Help yourself..." Em said, showing off the smore on the palm of his hand.

Antonio searched in his bag. "Why yes, I do have dark chocolate. So much tastier for the s'mores than milk chocolate, most definitely. Shall we get started, then?" He smiled at the group. "These are really delicious, trust me. And they're easy to make. You just take a graham cracker and place marshmallows and some chocolate on it and then melt it a bit over the fire. The taste is just amazing!"

Elizabeth grinned at the expression on William's face as he answered Robert's question about the notice board in the common room, then leaned forward a little to whisper, "He was hoping you'd say you didn't read it, just to make himself feel better about not knowing about the campout." Then, she sat back again so she was leaning against her much-taller boyfriend, looking up at him with a mischievous smile before bringing her attention back to William. "Can't say I really have the urge to try to learn Mermish. I guess it's the flaw in my Ravenclawness, not wanting to learn the language just so I could say I knew it. I'll just have to live with not being able to converse with merpeople," she said, shrugging slightly. "There's never a problem with having an interest in learning things. If that's a weird Ravenclaw thing, I guess we're definitely in the right house, but I'm not so sure." Why did it have to be specific to Ravies? It seemed kind of cliche to her.

And then she sensed someone coming over to their little group again, and as they came closer, she almost unconsciously moved a little closer to Robert as she saw Cayden with Mari. She still wasn't entirely sure if she trusted him, even though she hadn't had any actual problems with him for ages now. To be honest, she'd barely seen him. But she looked up at Mari with a smile as her best friend greeted them. "Hey Mari," she said. "Decided to come out and join the fun?" Please no drama, please no drama, she thought anxiously. She thought there had been some sort of truce or something between Mari and Robert, but with Cayden there, she was getting a little uncomfortable.

And that was the point that William chose to get up, and she looked back at the younger boy for a second before returning his nod. She couldn't force him to stay there, just because he was a neutral party when it came to the current group. And it looked, as she semi-watched him walk off, like he was just heading for food. Besides, he'd left all his things there, including his kitten, who still looked like she was sleeping. So she forced herself to try to relax, managing it to an extent by the time he returned. She knew remaining Mari's best friend meant Cayden came along with the deal, just as she had a feeling Mari knew it was the same when it came to her and Robert. So she shouldn't spaz out every time the four of them were together. And when William plopped back down on his sleeping bag, with his snacks, she smiled a little. "Potions really does seem to be something you find interesting," seh observed as he went back to his reading.

Cedric rushed toward the place of the camping, Campy knows how great he love camping. It will be fun, He hope it will it won't if he was just alone with no one to talked to. He was glad that many students we're already there so his friends might be there too. He looked around, Professors and the groundkeeper was of course, was already there. He looked around wistfully, in search for his friends.

Shana sat on the floor all alone,whe- there she was,talking to Jake.She decided against the going over they looked like they were having one of those "important" talks.She shrugged and looked around,where was Clark ? She shrugged and carried on sitting by herself.

"Oooh. Marshmellows. Yummy." Vanessa giggled, as she watched Kiri get some marshmellows. She had a feeling that a lot of marshmellows were going to be eaten during this camp out. Because Mashmellows were so yummy. "Ooh. Thats a good idea." Vanessa nodded, as Kiri roasted the marshmellows by levitating them.

"Ahhh" Vanessa wasn't expecting to suddenly get hugged, and she nearly fell over. Thankfully she was able to grab onto Torin's arms before she did fall over.
"Torriin!" She giggled, smiling at him, a little awkwardly. "Erm....Why are you clinging to me?" She asked. This was slightly odd.



As she was being clung to by Torin she managed to notice who had just arrived. She still needed to give her that item that was going to make her desk less empty. But she was in a little of a sticky situation right now.
"Torin....I kinda need to get up..." She grinned at him. Unless he wanted to join her of course.

Eeeeh! Now one of the other pink ladies was here. Yeey. Oh. That meant she had to go and greet her pink friend. And she still had a Torin attached to her.
"Lyraa." Vannie called, from where she waas sat being clung too. Either she would be ditching Torin or Lyra would have to come here.

"I'm clinging to you 'cause I don't want you to Graduate. DUH." He looked at her like she was insane for even asking him that - which she was.

Then she said she needed to get up. "I'll let you up, but I'm still clinging to you. I'll only let go if Professor Bunbury shows up." Which she should. He wanted to see her and give her that poem. "I have a poem for her."

Walking around Reid held a cute little kitty in his hands. Neko was purring and looking around at everything appreciatively, babbling about how beautiful the fire looked. Reid couldn't help but to agree with her. It was amazing and looked better than what most Hollywood studios could produce. But the best part was the feeling he got here. It wasn't cold and professional but warm, inviting, friendly and dare he say it but with the right person it could probably be romantic.

Sighing Reid looked around again, scanning the area directly in front of him for any sight of the girl who haunted his mind. She was stunning and after every encounter he was always left with a yearning to know more, see more and to be more. Neko batted at Reid's face, cutely demanding his attention once more, attention which Reid willingly gave, scratching the kitty under her chin and petting her head.

Tent? Check. Mattresses? Check. Toiletries? Can summon later... Rachel walked down towards the camp-out where she could already see tents and people talking and laughing - generally having a blast. Grinning at all the happy little students that were walking around, the fifth year strolled towards an empty patch of green and began working on her tent - kindly lent to her by Jake.

It took her all of five minutes to see that she wasn't going to be able to do this. Grunting and sweating slightly because of the heat and the effort she was putting into this, she dropped the whole structure on the floor and stalked off towards the fire, cleaning herself up and intending to relax for a moment before going back and trying a different tactic. There was of course, a spell she could use but unfortunately for her the OWLs didn't cover camping skills and so she was quite ignorant of it. Hmph.

Now fully refreshed from the several charms she had produced on herself, Rachel neared the roaring camp fire and couldn't help but smile. It was so serene - so peaceful and exciting and fun... Everything she currently wasn't. She was just about to take a seat when in her peripheral vision, the fifth year noticed someone sitting alone with a cat just a little farther away.

Someone who, for the past couple months, she had been practically aching to see. Taking a deep, shaky breath, Rachel walked over and sat down next to Reid, close enough so that they could talk comfortably but not enough so that they were even remotely close to touching. It was a little sad but necessary - she wasn't going to pounce on him.

"So I'm guessing that is the famous Neko?" she said gently to him, nodding towards the simply adorable kitten with whom he was playing with. Then her eyes found the face that the kitten was playing with and Rachel changed her mind - the face was more adorable than the cat by FAR.

"She's far from famous. At the moment at least. Soon she'll be on movie screens all around the muggle world." Reid said softly, trying not to disturb Neko who was slowly, very slowly falling asleep. Of course that was until she noticed Rachel. He knew Neko would be awake after that, she always was after meeting new people that thought she was simply adorable.

Turning around Reid surreptitiously moved a little closer to Rachel, he'd been looking for her for months but there was no trace of her to be found. "I've missed you," he admitted quietly, half hoping she wouldn't hear the statement and half hoping she would. "How have you been? I know you must have been stressed with O.W.Ls and that." he asked, giving her a charismatic smile that was meant to, well make her think he was cuter than Neko. He knew that people thought his kitty was adorable and so he couldn't help but compete with Neko's adorableness.

Neko blinked slightly at the voices and very carefully jumped from Reid's lap before cautiously pouncing on their companion. Looking the girl over she quickly began to but her head gently against her hand, asking for attention. She knew this human from seeing her with her master, they had appeared quite close and Reid had been fond of the girl.

Smiling, Rachel took a closer look at the kitten and giggled slightly, surprising herself. With Reid, the word 'famous' took on a WHOLE different meaning and it never ceased to amaze her. Sometimes, when she tried looking at them objectively (like when she lay at night and couldn't fall asleep) she was proud of herself for not letting it get to her head. A guy like Reid would be a catch for loads of girls - make their dreams come true in more ways than one yet she... She just sort of took his celebrity status as part of the package deal that was Reid.

"Neko the supercat," she murmured and was slightly surprised when the kitten which had looked like it was about to fall asleep, suddenly jumped up wide awake and jumped onto her lap. "Yes, you are, aren't you? You adorable little thing," she continued with the flattery, know from Cloud that cats tended to like that while she rubbed it softly behind the ears and scratched it softly under the chin, comically cupping Neko's face in her hands.

Reid's next words had a strange effect on Rachel. Instead of smiling, nodding and saying truthfully that she missed him too, her breath stopped short and her heart began beating so loudly, she was surprised people weren't turning to see where the loud thumping was coming from. Keeping her eyes firrmly on the kitten, Rachel had to take a few moments to calm herself and even then wasn't quite successful. "I... missed you too," she managed to say, her voice so quiet she wondered if he had even heard her at all.

She was officially pathetic.

Ahhh - OWLs is a good subject, a GREAT subject, in fact. Her breathing returned to normal and she allowed herself to look up at him, letting herself get lost in those unbelievably pretty eyes of his. "Yeah I was pretty stressed - OWLs are NOT fun, trust me. It's a good thing you didn't see me in the Special Assemly. . . I looked like a living dementor, I kid you not," she said with a smile, ever so pleased that he had not seen her in that horrible state. He would never have looked at her the same way again. Ever.

"And you? How are you?" she asked gently, her voice a lot softer than before. She was now only minimally patting the kitten, so great was her obsession with the boy in front of her. She seriously was completely hopeless.

Okay. Now he'd never been camping before. Which was pretty sad for someone such as him. But he'd lived in the city all of his life, and whenever he left it, they always stayed with relatives or in a motel. Looking with an expression that could only be read as disdain, Ashton gingerly placed his sleeping bag down on the ground in a spare spot, the straitened up again. Looking over the people around him, he could feel a smile creep to his lips already.

It was a great idea.

Seriously, the more he thought about it, the better the idea became in his head. There was plenty of them, sleeping around the floor, with the teachers talking to each other, and not paying them much attention.

Bring it on..

"Actually she wont be that super. Her job consists of her being the cute cat that helps deceive everyone into thinking that her owner is an innocent teenager when he's really anything but. Basically she just has to sit there and harass people for attention." Reid said dryly before his voice changed. "Isn't that right Neko?" he asked the kitty his voice changing into something of a coo while he reached across Rachel and began to pet Neko with her.

Reid watched in slight fascination as Rachel seemed to become embarrassed. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. He'd only been being honest, he didn't think she'd go like this, although she looked stunning while being embarrassed. "I... missed you too," the words were whispered but he caught them none-the-less. Reid's face slowly broke out into a smile that rivalled the sun. Those four words made him ecstatic but he made sure to keep some form of composure.

"I'm sure you didn't look as bad as a Dementor. Your beautiful normally, I don't believe that you could be reduced to such a state." he said with conviction, glad that she was looking at him once more. It seemed bringing up OWLs was the right thing to do to make her comfortable once more.

"I'm alright, I'm going crazy though. I just found out that I got the part in the movie I was trying out for a few weeks ago and so it's been hectic trying to learn all the lines. Filming starts at the beginning of the holidays so it's a must that I learn them all before then." Not to mention that I haven't been able to sleep because thoughts of you have been keeping me awake at night.

Shana was sitting down pondering,quietly.When she heard another sleeping bag flop down on the floor,being all lonsom and what not she turned to look who it was.It was Ashton! The boy that fancied Reese and wouldn't admit it. She crept up behind him and jumped on his back,It shouldn't hurt him to much she was that heavy due to the lack of eating and she was 3 years younger than him.She shrugged her shoulders and smiled as she waved at him.Heey Ashton,

Nancy had never been much of an outdoor-kind of girl but as soon as she'd heard about this whole camp-out idea the Groundskeeper had had she had been hooked. It was just such an amazing idea. And a great way to discuss the recent happenings around Hogwarts. Unfortunately she had lost her own piece of that Aparecium-parchement-thingy during the flooding so she seriously hoped to maybe be able catch up on some gossip here. Teehee..

Now where to put her purple sleeping bag? With a quick glance around Nancy had to realize that none of her friends were around yet - none she could spot that this - so she simply stood there for a moment, pondering what to do next. There had to be someone she knew. There just had to be some-

And right at that moment her blue eyes fell on a boy who seemed to just have placed his sleeping bag on the ground on a vacant spot. And the boy looked rather familiar. It was Ashton, the one with the cute kitten. With a warm smile on her lips Nancy made her way over to where he was now standing again, and without saying a word placed her own sleeping bag down next to his. "Hey Ashton. You don't mind, do you?" She nodded towards their sleeping bags on the ground with a small smirk.

WAAAH!

Almost tipping over at the sudden balance change, Ashton grabbed onto the flailing legs that had suddenly leaped apon his back. "What the..?" Turning his head slightly so that he could see the cling-on, he suddenly had a feeling of certain dread. "Hi Shana." He muttered, realising that he had been caught by miss questioning lemur. Although, to be totally honest, she was very cute in the way that she threw herself on him. Not cute as in, hot, but cute as in awwweeeh. God, he didn't want the thought police to be getting any ideas that he "liked her". That would just be really twisted.

"Whatchu doing up there?" He asked, feeling her get a little lighter on his back. Which was very odd, usually people got heavier.

OH THANKYOU MERLIN!!

Turning, still with Shana on his back, Ashton grinned at the girl who'd just advanced on him. "Sure, not at all." But for a moment, he realised how totally odd he must look. He was standing there, grinning happily at a girl who he'd flirted with, with the help of his kitten, with another girl on his back. Life was incredibly odd.

Shana smiled at Nancy.Heeeey Nancy. she waved.She rolled her eyes at Ashton even though he couldn't see her doing it.Umm Isn't it obvious ? Duuh.I'm sitting on your back. she nodded.And Okay yeah,I couuuld ask what your doing but I already know cause I's clever.Your flirting with Nancy. she giggled,Shana decided to try embarress Ashton,You know like little sister did to big brothers,should be funny.But she didnt wanna stand up or sit on the floor so she'd stay on his back for a while.
