Kevin nodded and said "Your right there Lilly"

lilly giggled and said "thanks" then went back to decorating the castle it was getting really large now. it was almost as tall as her. but she was having fun so it didn't matter

Kevin grinned and said "Well how nice are your fellow housemates Lilly"

"pretty nice there is this girl named demitri i think. she seems nice." she said "do you know her she is a third year?"

Kevin smiled and said "Yeah i do know her and she is lovely i met her in Diagon Alley during the summer"

"that's cool." lilly replied "i am tiared of building up the castle do you want to tear it down and make a new one now? we can continue if you want but i can't reach the top anymore im to short."

Kevin grinned and said "Let's tear it down and start a new one"

Xehanna walked up to the sandbox and put her stuff down. She looked at the sand with an evil smile and jumped in. She was playing for awhile, building a sand castle to be exact, and just waiting for someone to join her.

"Fine!" Cassadee replied, sticking her tongue out at the older boy, whose name was apparently Seth. Well, She coudln't really say the TH part right, so it came out sounding like Seff. It sounded cooler, anyways. "I'm going to do the big towers." She replied, and sat herself down, starting to dig up a pile of sand with her hands.

He was smiling? What?! "What's so funny?" Cassadee demanded, a childish frown on her small face. Okay, she was a bit inquisitive... So yes, she had to know everything. That way, she could make fun of people for being dumb. Duh.

"Fine, Seff." She grinned at him, poked her tongue out at the boy whose name she couldn't pronounce, and went back to making a tower.

Whoa. What was that Livvy saw before her eyes? She stopped dead in her tracks as she examined that magnificent... shiny... box. Of. Sand. AH!!! That is awesome! Uberiffic! Livvy ran towards the sandbox and jumped right into the sand, causing it to fly everywhere.

Curious, Kel walked over to...a sandbox? Well, that was what he was curious about. Shaking his head at the unpredictability of Hogwarts, he walked to what was indeed a sandbox. He smiled when he saw Livvy, and walked up quietly behind her.

"Livmeister!" he shouted when he was right behind her.

James' model of Hogwarts was still forming. "Yeah. Hey, I wanted to ask you, would you be alright calling me James. I decided that I need to get used to it and why not start now. The winds of change are coming..." The desicion had come after this summer and the thing with Rian. He needed to make some changes.

Oooohhh.... sannndd... Livvy smiled widely as she sat in the sand box, running her hands threw the soft sand. Every now and then, the girl would throw the sand gently into the air. Livvy wondered if the rest of the peeps knew about it. She'd have to bring Rawrchel and the rest over. And maybe Jimson Weed Boy. He could use a distraction from potion brewing.

Livvy looked up at the sound of the familiar nickname, called by a familiar voice. "Kelloooo! HEY man! Wazzup?"

Kel smiled and sat down in the sand next to Livveh, not even caring about getting sand in his shoes or on his robes. He folded his legs and dug his hands into the sand before answering Livvy's question. "The sky," he stated seriously, widening his eyes for effect.

Well, nothing really. Just kinda exploring the castle and stuffs...thought this place was interesting. Has it always been here?" he glanced at her curiously, then looked down at the sand. He stuck his hands in deeper, then brought them up, letting the sand fall through his fingers.

Whoa. Keltan Micheals. The gentleman. Not caring about getting his shoes or robes dirty or anything. That was different. Livvy felt so proud. Her little Kelly Boy was growing up.

Pfft. Lame-o. Maybe he wasn't growing up. Livvy rolled her eyes at his response. "Ha ha. Very funny Kel." That was a stunt that SHE was supposed to pull. Not have someone else pull on her. Not fair!

"The sandbox? Why... I don't ever recall it being here. The Groundskeeper, Masterson, might've felt like being a child once more. I bet he's all giddy and amused by placing this sandbox here. Brings out the child in us, I'd say," Livvy said, smiling. It truly did.

"Ooh! Ooh! Let's make a sand castle! Orr....... a mermaid..."

He listened as Livveh spoke, trying his best to hold back a smirk. He managed half-way, although one corner of his mouth lifted up into a sort of smug expression.

"I'd say it does...who can resist a sandbox?" he asked, serious. Not that he'd ever really had fun in a box full of sand, but...what the heck. He'd have fun now. "A mermaid?!" he asked, going into a fit of laughter that he cleverly disguised as coughing. "I'm not sure I have good enough sculpting skills to make a mermaid." he admitted thoughtfully. "Unless, of course, you know a sand-mermaid-making spell, or something. Or you're an amazing, famous sculptor in disguise..."

"Pfft. No one! Sandboxes... are awesome!" Livvy said, laughing as she ran her fingers through the sand and threw it up into the air. She continued laughing as she looked up, watching the sand fall back down.

Livvy rolled her eyes at Kel. Was he mocking her? Was he laughing? Or was he coughing? Eh. Whatever. It didn't matter. "I say the latter," she replied, shrugging. "What I meant... was that one of us.. most likely you, sorry Kelto, lies down and then... we bury them and turn them into a mermaid - I mean man!"

"How about both?" Kel suggested, shrugging. "We can make me a merman, then build a sandcastle? That way I can get involved some way or the other..." Being covered in sand didn't sound all that appealing to him, really. But...whatever. Maybe it could be fun. As long as there were no crabs, or something...

"Looks like I'm stuck being the merman, right? Do I just lay down...then?" he frowned, looking down at his robes. Well, he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans... he could just take off the robe. That way, it wouldn't get too dirty.

Reese's face brightened up when Vannie got the idea to conjure some buckets up. Why did she think about that? They were witches, they could just conjure some buckets. Duuuuuh. "Brilliant idea, Vans. Let's conjure some buckets up," she told her friend with a smile. "Oh, yeah. Demolishing sounds like so much-" She stopped talking when Vannie said it would be fun. "That's what I was saying. It sounds like so much fun," she added.

"Awww, don't worry. If you get something in your hair, you can always just go take a shower afterward," she reassured Vannie with a grin, "Spades... oh, you're right. We do need some spades. Conjure two of those up as well." This was going to be some much fun! She couldn't wait to begin building the sand castle.

"Yayyy!!! I like the idea, Kelto," she said grinning and clapped her hands delightedly like a four-year-old child. "Yes. You just lay down. Don't worry about your precious clothes. I'll wash 'em for you after this," Livvy said, grinning widely. This was going to be so fun. She looovvveeedd burying people! Except. For the ones that didn't breathe. That wasn't fun.

"Kay. So all you do is lay down and I put sand on you! It'd be easier with water but I can tell you don't water sprayed on you.... right?"

Kel grinned at Livvy's excited expression. He slipped off his robes, rolling his eyes at the clothes comment Livveh made. "Don't worry, I can wash them. It's just the school robes I was thinking about, but...yeah." he shrugged and threw his robes to the side, then lay down, tucking his shirt around him in an effort to keep sand out of his pants.

After he made himself comfortable in the sand, he looked up and nodded to Livvy. "Yeah, Liv. Water's...not good. No." he said, grinning when he realized he probably sounded like a crazy person. Well...Oh well. He didn't want to end up laying in a mud puddle, so no water.

James grumbled to himself and kicked at the grass. Honestly, this castle and all its inhabitants were quite mad! A giant sand pit? Really... he could only imagine his parent's reactions to this. They'd be baffled and forbid him to have anything to do with it.

A grin stretched out his lips and he sat, reaching out to doodle with a finger. Therefore it was only natural that he build something, and get completely gritty in the process.

"But-but... I like washing clothes," Livvy said, puckering her bottom lip. Strangely enough, she liked to do with anything that involved water. Oh. How gentlemanly of him. Just throw his robes to the side. Like that. Hurt the poor robes feelings.

Livvy giggled and shook her head. "Fine. But next time we get to use water right?" she asked. If there would be a next time. She tended to scare away the people she buried in the sand. "All righty. Ready to be mermanified, Micheals?"

...Riiiiiiight. "If you insist" he corrected himself, his eyebrow twitching with the effort of not making a face. He shook his head, but smiled again. Livveh was one crazy Ravvie.

"Sure, sure. Next time we can use water. Just remind me not to wear clean clothes, kay?" because really, they would plan this next time, right? If there was a next time...who was to say Liv wouldn't throw sand over his face and make him DIE or something...

"Ready!" he answered cheerfully, laying his head down on the sand - getting his hair sandy in the process. He'd need a shower after this...well, after they made the castle, too.

Oh well, it'd all be worth it. He'll be one impressive Merman, that was for sure.

"YAY!!!" Livvy said grinning largely. She gets to wash clothes! Mari would be so proud of her. Taking up such "womanly" jobs. "Now... before we leave today... I wand you to say sorry to poor Robesies. You hurt his feelings by throwing him aside," Livvy said, picking up the robes and folding it and then set it aside. "Never throw, Kel mah boy."

"Okay! Or maybe you should wear a bathing suit next time. I'm sorry... but as great of a clothes washer that I am... mud isn't friends with clothes, sweetie," Livvy said, pursing her lips and pretended that it was a major loss.

AH! Time to mermanify this dude! Livvy grinned as she held up the sand and placed it on Kelly boy's tummeh. But it kept sliding down. Fooey. She decided to just form a border around his body. He had a rather long body. The boy was quite tall.
