Looking at Dani's clothes she giggled again."Well it looks like you had a blast from all that mud over your clothes at this moment." She nodded.Looking around she shrugged spotting nobody she turned back to Dani and smiled."Ewww.Blue's kind of cool but not if it was ugly blue.Annd Hair clips are totally awesome but you have to wear them like this!" She said Taking out Dani's clips and re-aranging them."Much better.We'll soon have you back in your own uniform." No sports Or boys or mud or water balloons."I presume by that you mean.No quidditch,No Jake,No Mud or No throwing water balloons at Cam With me."

Warren walked past and noticed Shana with another girl. There was a mud puddle by them. It looked like the other girl had been sitting in it.. It was tempting to jump in.. really it was.. Warren got closer and closer to the puddle. He stood next to it looking down. Should i or not? he thought.

Dani smiled at Shana. "What else could I have meant?" She let out a giggle. Then she noticed a boy. Being her normal, bouncy self, she skipped over to him. "Hiiii! I'm Dani." She held out a mud covered hand for him to shake and smiled up at him. She was still a tiny energy ball. Mud dripped from the edge of her skirt and there was a dirt smudge on her nose.

Warren smiled at Dani. ''Hi, im Warren!'' he shook her hand, he didn't care it had mud on it.. He had never seen Dani before. Warren was still tempted to jump in the mud puddle.. ''I fancy a dive in the puddle, wanna join?'' he asked still smiling away.

Following Dani over to she didn't quite know where Dani was going but she followed her anyway and smiled.Heeey Warren.Dani Warren,Warren Dani. she beamed.

Warren waved and smiled at Shana, ''Hey Shana, how are you?'' he asked remembering what happened earlier on. He smiled back at Dani, she was very bubbly which he liked.

Dani grinned and looked down at the mud hardening on her clothes. "Actually, I kinda wanted to go say hi to Mr. Masterson and then go for a swim in the lake. I haven't been there in forever. You guys wanna come with me? Could be fun." This was a cute boy and he liked mud. But he wasn't Jake. Then again, Jake had made her cry so maybe a new boy was good for her. Speaking of boys, why hadn't she sen Clark? hmm.. weird.

hmm a swim in the lake! Ahh Warren loved swimming in the lake. It reminded him of the time Lucille and Warren had a massive argument with Hannah and got pushed into the lake. Good times.. ''I'd love to go swimming in the Lake'' he said. Warren's daily work out didn't go to plan today, as Torin wasn't up for it.. so swimming would make up for it!

She smiled at Warren.Uhh Me.Im okay thanks But That friend of yours is a evil little person and Im going to make her elasticated and wrap her round my little finger. Slytherin ? Oh yeah.

Turning to Dani she smiled.Oh yeah sure Im up for it, And mabye ya'll see Jake or Clark. She smirked.

"Awesome!" Dani grabbed Warrens arm and pulled him off in the direction of the castle, naturally expecting Shana to follow. She had a new friend! They had bathing suits to go change into.

Warren ran off with Dani, he made a new friend WOO !! he couldn't wait to go swimming. He loved his bathing suit, it was black and green and had a lil sheep on it. IAN! no wait.. Lucille stole ian ..

LouAnn playfully smirked when he more or less agreed with her about correctly guessing her own father's first and middle name. Of course she knew his correct name---she was his daughter, for Merlin's sake! LouAnn looked thoughtful for a moment, considering what Mister Masterson had just asked. She then shook her head. "I believe that makes you and my father first cousins, which would make you and I second cousins," she stated. After saying that, her face lit up and she smiled at the groundskeeper. "Oh, wow! I'm really excited to have family members here at Hogwarts!"

Earlier:
"Mmhmm," Constantine responded, raising an eyebrow in response to her gaze. Some children had nerve, he had to admit it. Some just had to learn when to use it and when not to. "Time does go fast."

------------------------
Later:
"Family memberr," he corrected at the use of plural, laughing gently as he leaned back and thought about it. He knew he probably should have been more excited about it...but he just wasn't a OMGYAY kinda guy. He was more a ohyay. "I've never understood the whole family line thing...oh well. Well, you can tell your father now that you've got someone at school who can keep an eye on you."

Kylie sighed, sensing a slight dismissal in the conversation. She looked at her muggle watch, astounded by the hour. "Well, time does go quite quickly. Doesn't it?" She laughed. "I really should be going. Thank you for the chat though.. I'll be sure to keep in touch." She said, she meant it to. Who would have thought that the grounds keeper would be the first person to actually listen to her at Hogwarts? While trying to gather all of her books that had been left in a bag on the floor. Apparently they'd slipped out over the course of their conversation.

"Ahh, yeah...member," LouAnn, correcting herself then shrugging off her little mistake. It wasn't like Mister Masterson was really concerned about the usage of the word anyway. "So, Cuz....I can call ya that, right? Anyway, we should hang out some. I have loads to tell you!" she said, standing up and making way for the door. If she didn't get back to the Common Room and start on her homework, she'd never have it all done in time. As it was now, she'd be up at least half the night. "I have to go, but...I'll be around. Buh bye!" She smiled at him...that kinda warm smile you give someone who really means a lot to you. A few seconds later, she was gone from the hut.

This was it. No one deserved to be treated with lonelyness!
Miranda's feet brought her to the hut and she was ready to demand some justice for Roma, because obviously someone had to because she couldn't SPEAK.

Hmpf!

Her brisk steps brought her to the door and with pure massiveness determination, she banged on the door. Though her small fist wasn't doing much impact on the thick wooden door.

And she waited, arms crossed on her chest and tapping the ground with her foot.

(ooc: ....my bad. I'm SORRY. I love you. I do.)

While weak, the bang that came from Miranda's hand on Neo's front door scared the living out of him and caused him to fall off the couch he'd been snoozing on. Now a huddled heap on the floor, he slowly picked himself up, trying to wake himself up too.

Pulling his reading glasses off his face, he walked towards the door, giving his eyes one last rub. "Yes," he questioned, pulling open the door and finding himself face to face with a rather disgruntled looking Hufflepuff. "Ah, Miss BelCanto," he greeted with a smile, but it failed quickly. "Is...something wrong?"

Miranda jumped back slightly at the sound of a thud. What the flap had happened? Though she knew it was wrong, she pressed her ear against the door trying to listen. But there was not a sound.
That was until she heard Mr. Mastersons voice. But then it was too late. The Huffie almost fell forwards as the door was opened. Scrunching up her eyebrows, Miranda looked at the giant before her and was surprised he knew her name.

But no time to wonder about that now, he had asked her a question and she was going to answer it. Oh yes.
"Yes, there is something EXTREMELY wrong...Sir!" she added quickly. Miranda was upset but she couldn't forget he was a teacher. "Have you not noticed how lonely Roma is?" Miranda asked, lower lip almost thrust out in a pout.

Ahhh! He knew that pout! It was the same blasted one his wife would shoot him when she didn't feel like doing the dishes. Women. They learned from one another!

"Uh...no, I haven't," he said, looking a little confused now. "I only put her in her little hut about an hour ago. ...How can you tell that she's lonely?" He wanted to ask something more along the lines of 'Why do you care?' but wisely agreed with himself that that would be a baddd question.

Oooooooh this maaaaan! Miranda knew boys were weird, but they were also blind? "How could you not seee?" Whyyyy wHYYYYyyy *drama* "You are the one who's supposed to take care of her. She's all alone now isn't she?" Ofcourse Roma was since the Groundskeeper was in here.

And how did Miranda know the pup was lonely? Well, there was no other pup around was there? Though...If Roma was feeling alone was anyone's guess. But come one...No one feels all happy being solo. "And well, she has with no friend in sight..."

"But she has a friend," he interjected gently, recovering from the fact that he was being yelled at by a 14 year old about his dog. "It's just...he needs to stay home to protect my wife and child. If I could find her another friend, I would," he nodded.

Why was Mr. Masterson being so calm about this!? It was a MATTER OF LIFE AND... Gah!
There was an urge to poke the man, maybe that would get understanding across to him. Instead Miranda kept looking up with a slight frown on her brow.
"Weeeeeeeeeeeell," she said standing up on her toes, "Why don't you find her a new friend? Because, Mr. Masterson, this is completely unfair!" Eh why? Because she's lonely. Oh yes.

"Unfair?" Constantine looked confused to the MAX. "I take her everywhere with me in the school! It was only just this moment that she's been on her own today. And I can't just go and find her friend...what if I find something...and they don't get along? Then I'll have two lonely animals that you'd be hunting me down for." He chuckled amusedly, and shook his head. "I think you're just overreacting a touch."

He was right, and she knew it. But the hurt she felt took over and now she was just babbling about something that didn't have much to do with the pup.

Overreacting?! Miranda was breathing deeply now as her eyes began to water. "I'm not overreacting, sir. You should know that being lonely is no fun." Because everyone needed a friend. "A friend should be there... and not just leave you!" And she knew Dom and Kaika probably wouldn't, because it didn't work that way. "Well you could TRY, maybe the dogs will like eachother. Have you, sir? Have you REALLY tried??"

"My wife and I wouldn't have the time to tend to three dogs, a cat, and a baby girl," he sighed, shaking his head and looking apologetic. "I'm sorry.." Why did she look like she was starting to cry? Gah. Neo didn't deal with tears too well. But, she couldn't be crying over a dog that was his responsibility. He leaned against the door frame. "Why do I have a feeling that this is more personal, than truly being about my dog?"
