"Of course." Nataly answered as Lucille ran to an injured boy arther on the street. Wait, he looked familiar, too! Wasn't it the first year Revenclaw boy she talked to on the train? She didn't remember his name, though. She looked at him with worry. He looked pained.
"Err... Are you alright? You're bleeding." she asked him loudly across the street.
Nataly, where are your manners?! she thought in self-anger.

Rayedem glanced around when another familiar voice sprang to his ears. On his right, he saw Lucille, walking hurriedly towards him. Uh-oh. Despite the fact that Rayedem was glad to see her, she was not supposed to see him like this. She's gonna make fun of him. For suuure.

"Wuzhill!" he called out, his hand leapt to his face, covering as much blood as possible. An effort in vain, since his hands were covered in blood as well, weren't they? Besides, she had already conjured a tissue paper.. Oh, well. "Fhankz," he took the tissue paper and wiped his face. Blood was still streaming down from his nostrils. "Nah, bhumfed imfo Eban. Whadd ar ya doin here?" he asked.

Just as he thought there couldn't be anything worse than meeting Lucille, another girl came in asking. Oh, nooo. He'd wail if he was alone.

"Ohhay," he greeted the girl, looking away as he pressed the tissue paper onto his nose, "Yeah, yeah, aim awwight." goodness. He wished the weird talking would subside.

Running down to hogsmeade for the first time. It was just as amazing as he pictured it. One of the few only wizarding settlements. Looking for where to go first, he saw Honeydukes...Did there have to be a good reason for him to go in. Then he saw Nataly "Hey Nataly" He said deciding to go talk before getting too hyped on sugar. And ran to the small group of girls. "What happened over there?" He asked as he saw the boy on the street.

"Hey Jacoby!" Nataly greeted him. So many people rom the train! "I have no idea. I think he bumped into someone. You can go aks him, if you want. He's a first year Revenclaw, just like you. I don't remember his name, though."
Was she matchmaking? Eww, of course not. But who knows, maybe they will be friends someday just because now she encoureged Jacoby into talking to that boy.

"You're sure?" she asked him, this time more quietly. He would hear even if she won't shout, right? "I know a charm that will stop the bleeding."

Lucille very nearly spoilt everything by snorting, but she covered it up by turning it into a cough. She could see he was trying to hide the blood.

She rolled her eyes visably.

"Honestly," she sighed, taking the tissue from him and wiping the areas he had missed. She felt bad. Blood was ALWAYS bad. Usually, she would have been making fun of him strait away, but this time it didn't feel right. Her eyes softened as she concentrated on the blood. "Only you could get yourself into this kind of mess," she chuckled softly.

"What am i doing here?" she asked. "First Hogsmead weekend! Hellooo! And anyway," she bent down to whisper, "Im fresh out of dung bombs," she winked.

Sara wasn't feeling too reassured about the homework thing... but what did it matter. She had a week!

Looking across the street in the direction Nataly had shouted, Sara saw a boy with a bloody nose... wonder what he'd done to get that...

"Hey Nataly, what's up with all of the blood?| Sara asked, a little creeped out by the amount of blood the guy was losing.

"I don't know." Nataly answered honestly. "But it's creepy to see all the blood."
She shivered. After Durmstrang there was no way she would't be scared or disgusted from blood. Poor bunnies, and rabbits, and kittens...

"Wahh," Rayedem struggled to shake Lucille off as she was wiping his face. No, no, no, Luciiiiiille! But then again.. Alright, she looked sincere this time, and perhaps only this time. Rayedem gave up struggling and let Lucille wipe the blood from his nose. "Yah got sum mowah tishoo?" he asked, planning to stopper his bleeding nostrils. "Bud id wuzn'dah on puwpuz." he tried to explain.

He looked around. There was a crowd starting to gather. Not a very good situation. He immediately started thinking of an escape route.. Being surrounded never felt good.

"Dats mai poindh," he told Lucille, "Ai houghd yah'd be in sum jhoke shoppe." dung bombs, huh? Lucille, Lucille.. Rayedem shook his head.

Evan smiled for the first time when he apologised, though the smile didn't touch his eyes. They were staring angrily and gloomily. He sighed. He was probably exaggerating it, but still it bugged him so much. He needed to tell it to someone, or he'd blow up. And he needed advise. Major advise.

The blondie opened his mouth to start telling it but another two girls saw Rayedem cevered in blood, and wanted to help. Evan winced. He did not want people. He just wanted Rayedem and a cosy place to talk. Luckily the girls seemed to focus on Ray and merely ignored him. This too would bug him on another day too, but today he was too deep in his thoughts to care, though he did wrote their faces to ignore them or snap them next time too. He was moody and he stared everywhere hostile, but a small smile was surely not too hard to offer him, right?

As one of the girls offered Ray tissues, it hit Evan hard that he knew a few healing spells, but he doubted he was in mood to cast even a simple Wingardium Leviosa. He just waited there impatiently, wanting to shout the girls off. He held himself and prayed for them to go. Not hearing what the girl said, he whispered to Rayedem "Can we talk privately? It's urgent, at least for me."

He was actually talking to one of the girls again, but hopefully he'd hear Evan's whisper. Evan sighed and said "Press your notrils as hard as you can, and breathe from your mouth. Should stop in half of a minute." It was Muggle style, but he really wasn't in mood to cast a spell.

Hogsmeade was open for a weekend for no specific reason, in the winter this is the best place to come and meet a friend, relax and to have a refreshment. He walked down the street hoping to see one of his friends or to meet someone new. He to his right and then to his left he didn't see anyone he knows but never mind, he could always invite a friend to hang out here.

Nataly definately had a weird look on her face... Sara wondered what Nataly was thinking about... The last time Sara had seen this much blood, her gramps had been diagnosed with a brain aneurism... those were not happy time,,,

Putting a smile on her face, Sara turned to Nataly and asked, "So, are you looking forward to shopping in the shops this weekend?" Sara thought gloomily of her almost empty pocketbook...

Rayedem looked up to the taller boy as Lucille was still wiping his blood. Getting the feeling that Evan had something to talk about, he stood on his tiptoes, and he raised both eyebrows as he whispered. GREAT TIMIIING. He was just thinking about escaping, too. He felt bad about having to ditch Lucille, but what Evan had to say sounded much too important to ignore. I'd apologize to her later, he thought.

"Wuchill," he began talking to Lucille. Ugh. Awkward. Until a lightbulb seemed to lit up in his head, "Aim gonnago, yah kno', find sumweh doo wosh mai feys. Si yah?" he asked, hoping Lucille wouldn't get mad at him.

Laura walked slowly down the Main Street, glad to be out of the Castle, even if it was only for a while. She did love the Castle, it was just overbearing sometimes. And Laura needed some time away from it. Hmmm.

Peering in through the windows, Laura gazed intently at the Sugar Quills in Honeydukes. Shame she only had so much money left, and it was all going on robes. ARRGH.

Lucille slapped Rayedem#s struggling hand away untill he gave up and let her mop up. She produced some more tissue and handed it to him.

"Hey! dont look at me like that!" she said when he shook his head. "Dung bombss are ALWAYS fun." she smiled. "Do you want me to do something?" she asked, thinking of trying a scouring spell to remove some of the dryed blood. "Actually, better not," she said, "id probably just make it worse," she shrugged.

Lucille could see that Edem was looking a bit uncomfortable. She knew he hated crowds, and this was definatly a BAD situation. She bent low so that only he could here her.


"I have a plan," she said. "To get you out of this." she sneakily showed him a dungbomb that was in her bag. "Cover your nose, then run," she whispered, a wicked grin appearing on her face.

Lucille walked to the middle of the crowd surounding Rayedem. She bent on the pretence of tying her shoe, and placed the bomb on the ground, waitind for it to go off.

*poof*

She held her breath, as the stench started to encroach and tried to look as confussed as the rest of them.

"Of course!" Nataly immediatly forgot about Durmstrang, her eyes burning with exitment. "I have to go to zonko's! I need a new supply of pranks. And I want to go to glazard's wizardwear, I want some new robes. Oh, and o course I'll go to the ink shop.." she started blubbering, looking at the shops with desire.

Just then, the horrid smell of a dungbomb spread across the street.
"Eww!" shouted Nataly with disgust and covered her nose.
Yep, someone deffinatly just returned from Zonko's.

Wheeeee!

Xander was excited to be in Hogsmeade, especially with Miss Sylvia by his side. And it was even a really nice day out as well, so that just helped out even more. It was hard to figure out exactly what to do, but he still had that small plan in the back of his mind. Maaaaybe he could do it now, or at least do part of it.

He ran a hand through his hair and held out his other arm for Sylvia to link with his.

"M'laady," he said smiling. "Are you ready for a day of fun?"

Thomas was staring about looking at the people in the streets. Suddenly, he noticed a fellow first year and he was quite familiar and he was a Ravenclaw. He noticed how the boy was it was Raydem. Thomas waved at him hoping that he saw him.


Thomas turned his head and saw Laura peering into the candy shop Honey dukes. "Laura," he called her hoping that she heard him. He forgot about Honey dukes and also he needs to refill his safe with more candy. In the muggle world he bought himself a safe so no one would try and steal any magical candy from here.

Eva let Nataly explain as she smiled encouranging the Slytherin girl to speak ahead.
"Yeah. You know that if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have met someone important?" she added with that smile. Those word made her remind of Hlios, wo would probably be in the castle, doing only God-knows-what. Or maybe just acting like a spy, she thought, clearly amused with that idea. Oh, well.. Even spies have like to take the day off.

Pranks?
Where? Who? When?
Eva mutter a few cursewords to herself, obiously not meant for the firsties ears. THen, it hit her., The little firstes loved those annoying things.
"Seems like a few things will always remain classics.. Like the girl making soe sort of plan to take a boy out of troubles... Geez, that plan is older than Merlin." she said with a chckled, followed y a quick laugh. Yeah, sh liked to watch over the younger students. One thingshe could always earn from them:
Somethings never change.

"Really? Whom?" Nataly asked curiously. Maybe it was that mysterious boy...
She coughed. I hate dungbombs.
"Well, Lucille's gone, and it stinks here rom dungbombs, so let's go to zonko's!" Nataly said exitedly, and then coughed again. Did I already say how I hate dungbombs?

Turning around and slumping down on the bench outside Honeydukes, Laura tried desperately to ignor the temptation to go and spend all of her robes money on the Sugar Quills she was now overly aware of, staring at her, staring at her from the window they where displayed in. Go away, go away! she called to them silently.

Hearing someone shout her name, Laura looked up, and after scanning the crowd for a moment, spotted Thomas. Waving back, Laura smiled at him. He was the only person she knew here, but she wasn't going to move to see him. No, because if she did, she would have to face the wrath of SEE the Sugar Quills.

GAHH!

Nataly was definately Sara's kind of witch... one that loved to shop!

Things were getting a little frantic on the street, so Sara decided to just keep quiet and let the conversation flow around her. It was easier to listen than to compete with everything that was going on...

Eva blushed a little, because she had not seen it coming.
"Well... Another seventh year. The tall, blonde guy that was in the compartment just for a little while." Yeah, you see, he's just the prince. THe weirdest and most chaming prince I've ever met - not that I met that many. The red was on her cheecks was quite evident for now.
"So, we're going to Zonko's?" she asked the youngest girl, wondering if the young Nataly was inviting her to come along or if she had misunderstood it. "One thing you are right, it stinks in here..."

"Ahh, yes, I remember him. He was quiet mysterious." Answered Nataly. She noticed Eva was blushing. Does she like him?
"Yeah, let's go to Zonko's!" She called and started to go to the joke shop.

(OOC:Why isn't there a Zonko's thread??? =[ )

Eva smiled discretly.
"Yes... I think those are the proper words to describe him..." she whispered back to Nataly. She looked around. She had never been to Zonko's. Like ever. So, Eva had no clue where the shop was located, alkthough she had heard a lot of comments about it.
"Hum... Do you see Zonko's in here?" she asked hesitantly. She was the eldest there, she should know that kind of things; and it annoyed her that she couldn't give a simple informnation like that.

Sylvia giggled. She had never been to Hogsmede before, and what better way to go than with the Xandermann? Linking arms with him, Sylvia walked happily along the main street with him.

"Yup. Barrels of fun pleaaaz. Do they have a joke shop 'round hereee?"
