Keeley sighed. This fellow first year had ignored her, and had started to cry. She felt kind of awkward sitting there, but she refused to get hit by poo. So, she turned her head, trying to give them privacy.

The two boys were grabbed by Lawson at the Gryffindor table, and Cope sagged in relief. He didn't want a detention for publicly defending Cela and Livvy and Daphne's honor by hexing the snot out of those two hellions. He shoved back the bench and offered his hand to Cela under the table.

"We're clear. Will you help my siphon this mess off the table? The smell... is horrible. Maybe we can bag it for Bunbury?"

Willow had been caught in that hug that Plymouth Morgan and Issy had decided to give her while the ENTIRE thing happened.

Yes, the THING, for the seventh year could not think of a better word to describe the whole scenario.

What was this INSANITY?

Yet, the girl could not say she was surprised. Nope. Not. At. All. After all, it had been her the one to predict that Poke Boy Cameron Karsten would eventually lose what little sanity he had left and would belong more in St. Mungo's than in Hogwarts.

She'd not expected, however, that it would happen THIS soon, nor had the Ravenclaw Captain expected to see Cameron rebelling himself and creating mayhem with poop and a Partner In Crime.

Trust a boy with such an unruly mane of curly hair to be friends with Karsten.

Growling silently under her breath and disentangled herself from the hug, the brunette glared viciously at the younger boys and, with a flick of her wand, she got rid off the ... horrible and disgusting things that were around her.

"Someone should go get Professor Vindictus." Commented Willow lightly, though loud enough for people to hear. And they should probably go get a few healers, too, while they were at it so the boy with Unruly hair and Cameron Karsten could be tied and shipped off to some ward in St. Mungo's.

It didn't occur Willow that since SHE was Quidditch Captain, and thus one of the leaders of the Ravenclaw house, should go get Vindictus herself.

Ah, well. She HAD already gotten rid off the poop around her anyway.

"Keeley, what are you doing down there?" Bella asked curious wile still looking at people rigleing there faces because of the sent of the air.

Tibi wondered if Cela actually could take care of him. Willie had seemed pretty determined... and JAKE! What would Willie do to Jake if he found out someone knew??

"Nooo, Cela, you can't tell him you know," Tibi sniffled. "He... he said he'd get me if I told and.. and.. well, Jake..um.. I don't remember his last name.. but with the pink hair? He helped me get away and Willie was really really mad at him for it. If Willie knows I told... I..." Tibi started to cry again.

His first day had been both great... and a disaster.

Keeley poked her head up from the table. "Are they gone?" she asked. "I refuse to get hit."

Celandine grabbed Cope's offered hand and gave it a squeeze.

"Just a second? I'll help. I will."

"I can take care of Willie." Celandine listened and frowned even more. "We'll take care of you. Cope will totally be your personal bodyguard, he's big. All the Ravenclaws will look after you, I promise." She gave Tibi a tug. "They are gone, you could help us clean up? Hold onto a bag while we fill it?"

She offered a hopeful and comforting smile.

Cameron Karsten. She was gonna kill that kid one day. Apparently he figured that what he had done on the train just wasn't enough to satisfy him. Wonder what had triggered his craziness. Who knew that there was another level to Cam's spazziness? That Willie. ARGH.

Livvy picked up a bag that was being handed out and her nose scrunched up in disgust at the horrible smell. UUUUGHH. GRRROOOSSS. She went over by where Cela was who seemed to be comforting a little boy. "What's the matter?" she asked, gently. A lot of things. The POO for instance.

Using her wand with one hand, the other still busily pinching her nose, Daphne did her best to siphon the dung off the table and--began to pile it all together since apparently, Copernicus wanted to make a nice little gift for Professor Bunbury with it.

"Bunbury will be so pleased," announced Daphne nasally. "There's no better way to get into a Botanist's good graces than to offer them good manure."

"WHAT?!?!?! wait so what was/is going on?" Bella asked totally confussed. Well if anyone was going to throw stuff at them, she has a few tricks up her sleve.....

"How do you not know? Tey were right on top of the table, flinging poo!" Keeley cried, a bit louder than intended. "Are they gone?"

Becca observed the boy as he removed a necklace and put it in his bag. Curiosity lingered on her face for a moment until the boy sat down. Now her face simply showed pure joy. "Oh yeah? Well, it's cool that your cousin is getting married, isn't it? Hoorayyy," she commented, only a bit sarcastically.

Yes, exactly...no one did notice her, and Lucy nodded at her latter comments. She was just around...somewhere...yep. "I suppose so, yeah. I met a lot of people while shopping for supplies...but I don't think any of them were in our house." Nope...they all seemed to just be Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs and maybe a Slytherin here and there. But not yet a Ravenclaw...until now. Becccccaaaa. Lucy's first Ravenclaw friend. Awesome!! "Cool thing is, though, you're my first Ravenclaw friend!! Cool, huh?!" Lucy said, nodded to make her agree. One had to admit...this was indeed COOL.

Then a question arose in Lucy's mind, and although she couldn't quite phrase it, she blurted out the first set of words that came into her mind: "Do you have many friends here?" Eh, well. POINT IS...she got her point across. Yep.

"Ohh, okay," she nodded in understanding. "Definitely cool." Becca laughed softly because, well, SHE was cool. Obviously. "I... know a lot of people, we'll leave it at that." That was for sure. "I know a large majority of Ravenclaws. I have a few friends in the other three houses." Shana and Kris came to mind from Slytherin, and she laughed. Did those two really count as friends?

At that point, the great hall seemed to erupt into chaos. Becca observed quietly, looking from Cope to Cela to Plym to Willie Crocker to Cam to Lawson, then to Willow and Daphne... There really was never a dull moment at Hogwarts, was there?

Where was her buddy Peeves in all this chaos?

"Oh that thing. Sorry, I was sensing thoughts, and someone is crying. I think they stoped throwing poo," said Bella looking up from under the table.

Tibi looked up at Cela and smiled, meekly. "Thank you..." he sniffled. "And yes, I can help." Tibi sniffled again. "I'm all stuffed up from crying.. so I won't be able to smell it!" Tibi laughed as he climbed out from under the table, and grabbed a bag to help clean up the mess.

Cope smiled at the top of the table, which kept him from seeing Celandine lurking below. "I know you will. If you and Tibi want to show people on that side how to clean, Livvy and I can do this side."

Only Ravenclaws would save moon calf dung thrown in the Great Hall for fertilizing. It was hard to come by, though, and Cope didn't see why it had to go to waste.

"Thanks for helping with clean-up, Liv. I guess the food is ruined, but I bet the elves could send up a clean batch once we get the table clear."

Did bits of creamed corn ruin the potency of moon calf dung? Hmmm.

"Oh, ok." Keeley replied, gladly getting up from the hard floor. Now to get rid of the mess...

Smiling at Perni and Cela, Livvy poked the stinky poo with the bag. Oh. Joyfull. She was going to get Cam and Willie for this. And not just a poke in the head... but really GET THEM BACK. Not necessarily a great impression on little first years that were new to the school. It's not enjoyable getting dung dropped on their head on the first day at a completely foreign place.

Livvy grinned and shrugged. "Sure thing, Perni. It's not every day you get to clean up Mooncalf poo," she said, humorously, standing back to observe for any spots that she may have missed. Well... she officially had no appetite.

Keeley felt like she would start to nod off on the smot, but she helped dispose of the mess. She wondered whether Hogwarts would always be like this.

"Are you girls okay as well? Could you hold some bags for us to get the poo into? Since you haven't learned how to do any of the spells yet and all." Celandine climbed out from under the table too and smiled at the two first year girls. "I'm Celandine by the way."

"Teehee! Well, There is always the bubble head charm to trap clean air around your face if your nose unblocks itself." Cela beamed at Tibi.

"Willie and Cam are going DOWN. That's what is the matter." Cela told Livvy firmly. She meant it too.

"I'll remember to get you some decent poop for christmas Daph!" Cela laughed a bit and wrinkled her nose at the piled poo.

"Whatever you say Cope." Cela agreed and shifted to the other side of the table, starting to flick her wand and siphon the poop from the table and levitate it into the bags that the first years were holding.

"2 options,
1-start cleaning it up then I can cast finite incantatem to finish cleaning it
2-wait till the ,house elfs are they, clean it up" said bella, thinking what else they can do. Bella knew a cleaning spell, but couldn't recall the name at all

"I'm fine." Keeley replied, taking a few bags from Celandine. "Hi, I'm Keeley." She really hoped that this would be over soon, and wordlessly cursed the boys who did it.

"I'll help to, I'm Bella Chloee Lovegood," said Bella holding out the bag. She felt as though the others thought she was stupid, she knew spells! well at least from what she read. Bella started wondering why the boys were throwing poo in the first place, why?

The poop was going into the bags.

Because Daphne was levitating and making sure it went into the bags that some of the Ravenclaws were holding.

There seemed something oddly out of place with this situation. Was it because Daphne Hopton was a Gryffindor? Or was it because Daphne Hopton, a Gryffindor, was putting poop into bags for Ravenclaws to give to Professor Bunbury? Or was it because it was Daphne Hopton, a wand, and poop?

Or was it all of the above?

"Lovely!" called out the blond with a little tense smile. "I'm sure Copernicus would like a bag himself. How about that, Kettleburn? Grow yourself a nice little vegetable garden with the help of Mooncalf dung."

Oh. The smell.

"Why did this all happen," Bella asked to the gryffindor.

Plymouth was an expert hugger, but not even he could hug through a poo parade. Particularly not a pooparade that Daphne Hopton was apart of. Quite automatically, he got up and moseyed down the table to her.

Plymouth squeezed in, butt first, beside Daphne. He leaned back, his back against the table and his little Hogwarts hat drooping all wrong. He didn't SAY anything, just looked at her. THere was an unspoken, "you okay?" in his eyes though.
