"Haven't we already established that I'm dumb?" He asked her, an eyebrow raised that she probably couldn't see. He was sure that they'd gone over that when he was down by the cliff. "Ohh, and so if you've decided that, then I've got to be alright with it, eh?" Okay, now the first bit might of been a joke, but when she said you're more like the annoying big brother I've never had, he paled. Did that mean he had to look after her for the rest of the year? Oh, dear. Ohwait. She was just comparing him with a non-exsistant sibling. Calm down. Although, she was like the annoying younger sister he'd never had... Sooo...

She was really cramping his style. or making him look cute. One of those two. And he couldn't really ask anyone's opinion on it with her still clinging on to his back. "Absolutely." He eventually managed to say. "Anyway, enough about mini-McVeigh here," Ashton gestured to Shana with a toss of his head, "How've you been, and your..." Was it a cat or a kitten? Guh, and what was the difference? "Cat?" At the moment in time, he was Ruffles-less, mainly because he was doing the very usual cat thing, and sleeping.

"Heeeey! I spend a lot of time on that!" He protested as her fingers raked through his hair. But, unfortunately, he couldn't do anything back, like pull her hair, as she was on his back. Lucky.

Shana shrugged.Weell..Im dumb so you must be DumbDumb. she beamed and giggled.Yes,You aree supposed to be alright with it and if your not,then tough deal with it. she smiled at nancy,and began to tap her hands on his shoulders making a sort of "tuuune" as she did so.She beamed again and giggled.Mini-McVeigh,eh ? Does that mean I'm like a mini you ? Cause I'm not I'm a girl unless your a girl too ? she giggled.Oh,didn't look like it,Your hair looks a lot better than it did before anyways. she smirked.

Dani smiled at him. Dark chocolate was her favorite thing on the planet, after hugs of course. "Ooh. Yummy." She grabbed two graham crackers, some chocolate and two marshmallows. Finding a sharp stick, she poked the marshmallows and held them over the fire. That's right, doin it the Muggle way. She pulled them back when they were the perfect golden brown color of melted deliciousness. When placed between the graham crackers with the chocolate, the chocolate began to melt. "Mmm." She sighed, taking a bite of the gooey snack.

"I an fine,lied Thomas really he felt terrible because it was so hot today which made his day miserable as usual. "Hey when was the last time we met because it felt like years ago?" For some reason they stopped hanging out and he hadn't seen her in a while.

"Oh, right." She was confusing him to no end, but heck, she was only twelve and he was meant to be the mature one in this situation, so he couldn't really go, "yeah, well so are you" because that would just mean he lost all cred that he had in the first place. "And what if I was a girl? And you'd just told Reese that I fancy her? Which I don't just for the record." Mmh, she could start all sorts of things with that sentence, if she chose the right words and all, "Oh, and the tapping's getting really annoying." He let her know, raising his eye brow again, for what was possibly the fifth time. Your hair looks a lot better than it did before anyways. Now, he wasn't going to take hair styling tips from the manic creature on his back, so he just mumbled something unintelligible, and rolled his eyes.

Shana shrugged her shoulders and decided it was safe to go over to Dani now and looky she had food Yumm.Yooo Dannerz Whats cracka Lackin ? she beamed,hoping her friend would offer her some of that yummy looking thing that she was eating herself.


Buut Buut..I like Tapping. she frowned.And just for the record,I'm frowning. she nodded quite firmly.Seeeeee! I knewww it! Thats why you keep bringing her upp cauuuse You looove her,You wanna kiiiisss her,You really looove her. she giggled immatureley.

Dani laughed at her friend. "Eatin' s'mores." She took another bite. "He has more stuffs to make them." She nodded toward Professor Dumont when she saw her friend eyeing her food. MINE. hehe.

Luke, that had been sitting very quietly away from most of the students, came back into the light of the fire to warm his hands. His sleeping bag on his back, protecting him from the cool breeze of the woods.

He stretched his hands to warm them and sighed looking up. At the end of all, he was going to miss Hogwarts.

Shana looked all confused.What in the name of merlins pants are S'mores ? she shrugged looking at the yummy S'mores,whatever they were they looked yummy.I'd prolly hurt myself try'na make one. she giggled.So what were you and Lover boy talking about ? She winked at her friend and smiled.

Sarah sat quietly and munched on one of the smores that Professor Dumont had made them.If this camping lark was supposed to fun you could have fooled her.All she was doing was sitting,watching,listening.....doing nothing.With so many people around you would think it would be easy to find someone to talk to,unfortunately they all had their own conversations going.

Rolling out her sleeping bag,Sarah laid down and stared at the stars above.So pretty,yet so far away. "Wouldn't it be nice to apparate to the moon?" she sighed under her breath, "maybe the missing Mariel and Lasca are up there......"

Dani laughed. "Its melted marshmallow, chocolate, and graham cracker. Here you can have the rest of this one, I'll make a new one." She held it out to her friend. Then Shana brought up Jake. "Oh.. He uh.. Dumped me." She sighed. "Then he left cos' I slapped him."

Laura scrutenised Thomas's face when he said he was fine. She had a hunch that he was lieing, and as she looked over his face Laura knew he wasn't telling the truth. "Are you sure you're ok?" she asked raising her eyebrows. Due to the fact she'd been generally depressed and lonely lately, she was some sort of expert on when people weren't ok.

Laura smiled at Thomas's question. It was a sad smile, but not a 'feel sorry for yourself' kinda smile. The sad smile played around her lips as she ponderd her answer. "Well, it was some time ago," she mused. "Yeah, definately not recently. I guess, I guess I haven't been around much. Every time I try to find someone, no one's there." Laura swallowed, her eyes briming with tears. She blinked them back, like she always had done throughout her whole life. "Maybe it would have been best if I had agreed to leave." She added bitterly under her breath, all trace of tears gone.

Shana beamed.I have no idea what a graham cracker is but it sounds fun! she giggled and nommed the rest of the s'more.Thanks Tis yummy. she nommed some more and then her face dropped.He is such a- Uhhhh.Seriously does he not have a heart!? Although Shana liked Jake she was kinda angry with him right now,how could he just dump Dani like that ? Idiot.She kindaa smirked when Dani said she slapped him,he got what he deserved but still Poor Jake,Getting slapped by a firstie.Want me to have a talk to him ? more like,her telling him off,Naah she wouldn't tell him off he might hurt her and plus he had Reese.

William chuckled as Elizabeth whispered to him. "Oh, well..." he stuttered, kind of feeling foolish. After all he was trying to get Robert to like him even though he was sure he did to a certain extent. Who wouldn't like William, according to most of the professors he was the most adorable boy in creation, even though he didn't feel that way most days. Seriously why did they all think that, he was just being himself, shy and cute. No not cute, normal. Yes, he was just a normal boy living in a messed up world.

Swallowing his marshmallow and sipping his juice he turned to nod at Elizabeth. "Yeah, it's weird isn't it. I'm terrified, absolutely petrified of Kazimeriz but I think that's what is helping me focus more." he said chuckling a bit at the thought. From the moment he had laid eyes on Kazi, his heart began pounding in his chest and he had been dumb enough to defile him before realizing what an immature person he was. But that had only made him stronger he thought, standing up to the man and loosing massive points, only to gain them back by studying his little heart out.

"Want a marshmallow or cauldron cake?" He asked nodding to the small pile by his feet. He didn't like sharing but she was his friend and as the saying went, friends share with other friends. "You can have some too Robert." he added, no longer feeling weird around him. Glancing up he wondered where Jake was, wanting to have a talk with the boy before term ended. He was still very much annoyed with the Hufflepuff and things needed to be said. If it led to a fight then so be it, though he hoped it wouldn't come down to that. He kinda hoped it wouldn't though; after all he was friends with Jake to a point, right?

Luke sighed again and gave a few steps back he was about to put his feet to the ground then - ouch - he almost stepped into someone. "uups " he said looking down at a girl laid down on her back looking at the stars.

He felt like a troll, but it was quite crowded there. He looked at her alone, like him and wondered if she minded him sitting. " Can I sit next to you?" he asked trying to be his nicer self.

Dani shook her head. "No it's okay. It wouldn't have worked out. I'm not coming back to Hogwarts next term. Or ever." She frowned at the ground, scared of Shanas reaction. Would she hate her forever? She was going to miss her friends, a lot.

Lyra placed her PINK sleeping bag down in one spot along with her things and began to roam the grounds. There were many students here and looked to be almost every student in the castle. This was wonderful. This was excellent. Now where were her "Ladies"?

"Owwww," Sarah felt someone catch her with their feet.Looking up she saw an older Slytherin boy who didn't look too happy.Turning on her side,and leaning on her arm,she squinted in the dying light to see his face properly.Hmm,well at least he looks nice. "Yeah sure,be my guest," she sighed,smiling and gesturing to the small space next to her. "No-one else is."

Shana nodded and carried on nomming the S'more Dani kindly gave her.Then suddenly her face dropped,she was leaving ?! And she picked now to tell her ?! That was just toterly bunk.She got up and threw the remanders of the s'more on the floor.She shook her head.How could you ? What,not gonna tell us were ya ? Think we wouldnt notice ? she shook her head again and stormed off to where she'd left her sleeping bag to glared at Dani and sat down on it.

Oooh. Lyra was walking around. That meant that Vannie needed to get up, and join her PINK friend. Her only problem? Torin Kane.
Glancing back at Kiri she smiled. "Maybe later Kiri? I'm just going to say hello to Lyra okay?" Vanessa smiled at the young Slytherin before looking back at Torin, as she tried to unclasp his hands from around her. No success. "Torin...I need to get up....I can't if your clinging to me!" She shook her head, looking back to where Lyra was.

"Lyyrraa!" She waved a little, wanting the girl to come over. She wasn't get up till Torin let go, it would be very unladylike to even try to get up with him clinging to her

Luke let his body sink into the place she pointed to, it wasn't very big, he was a little squeezed between her and the person next to him - since he was bigger - but he didn't mind. He moved a little forward to have more space, and positioned himself facing her. " I've been there, couldn't find someone to talk to either, it's impossible to figure out who is who in the dark" he shrugged a little and looked up to where she was looking " what were you looking at?".

He was getting all softy, it wasn't like him to talk to people, he was keeping his mean attitude perfectly, but then, crack! he slipped of. Nevermind, he though, the year is finishing, and you'll be on your way to Russia any minute.

Dani watched her friend walk away. She deserved that. She really was making a muck of this. Now she was crying. She ran over to Mr. Masterson and Professor Dumont. "Just thought I should check in before going back to the castle." She would not cry in front of everybody. Oh wait, she already was.

Lyra heard her name and turned her entire body in the direction the voice came from. "Vannsss," she yelled back. "I hear you but..." and then her eyes landed on Vannie and someone she didn't know. It was a huge school after all. "Oh there you are.

"Hello," the greeting followed quickly as she smiled at the other Hufflepuff who was clinging to Vannie. Maybe that was her boyfriend that she'd never met. "Is this..." oh what was his name???? "...Miles?"

"Oveer herree!" Vanessa giggled, as she watched Lyra look for her. It wouldn't have helped if Vannie had been standing really? It wouldn't have made much difference. "Hey Lyra." She smiled at her close friend, who then thought Torin was Miles.

"No no No." Vanessa shook her head, eyeing Torin. Could he stop clinging to her now. "Miles is much much more good looking." She grinned at Torin, before smiling at Lyra. "This is Torin."

Sarah shifted to the side as much as she could to give him a bit more room.She was a small person herself,but this place was so busy and crowded that there wasn't very much room for anyone.Camp-Outs are obviously popular. "Hmmm?" she blinked,looking over at him as he spoke. "Oh yes it is.Mind you I had a look when I got here,when it was lighter,and couldn't see my friends.Haven't seen them for a while now...." She drifted off her sentence and began staring upwards again. "Just the stars and the moon,really.Not much."

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't found out the name of the person who actually wanted to talk to her,Sarah sat up again quickly. "Oh umm I'm Sarah,by the way,third year Huffie.Nice to meet you......S'more?" she asked,holding out one of the melted goodness filled biscuits for him to take if he wanted.
