Marie laughed when Destiny said she tried hitting her with the sleeping bag. "Well then your aim was a little off."

The food table, of course she had seen it, she just had not been to it yet. "How could I not see all that food? I would have to be blind not to see it. I think I am going to go get some before the story starts."

Maybe if she got up and walked around a little she would find Evan. She couldn't believe how much she really was missing him.

Bella sat on her sleeping bag, it's pattern's looked big and large, although they weren't. She had a small selection of chocolate and sweets in front of her. Smiling to herself she settled down, waiting for the story to start.

She looked round the hall at the small selection of students already there, talking with each other. She frowned.

"Hello everyone," she said as she looked around. "I'll start soon enough, but I wanted to know are you all enjoying the sleepover?" She asked the children gathered. "I must say, I'm enjoying all your jammies!"

Bella smiled over at the Professor, "Im having so much fun Professor. Cant wait till the story" She called over to her, still smiling.

Bella picked up a Pumpkin Pasty and began to eat it.

Walking cautiously, Jake, in his (strangely mature) pyjamas consisting of a really old white shirt which read 'SAVE FERRIS' and reddish-brown pyjama pants, approached his best friend, Tibi. He had his really old small cuddly toy rabbit with him and was lugging a pillow along. Placing the pillow down, he set himself on it and shifted a bit. Eeeep. Slytherin girls were here.

"Hey Tibi," Jake said quietly.

At least he was real close to Lupa. The boy sat cross-legged and immediately he stuck his thumb in his mouth; an old habit he just couldn't break.

Glancing at Tibi and the other kis with him, Jake sat holding the bunny to his face, one finger hooked over his nose as he sat serenely sucking his thumb.

He wanted to hear this story. How long since someone read to him?

Well... not long. But still... he liked having a story read out loud.

Was it just him or was there like ten gazillion Slytherins here?

Hearing Lupa's question, Jake looked up at her and shrugged his shoulders. He'd probably find it more fun if he wasn't so scared. But, now he thought about it, all the people here would mean he was safe. Yayyyyy safeness!

Now wearing her jammies, Iliana hurried over, making sure not to step on any hands or trip over any feet, as she made her way to Lupa. "Sorry I'm late, Professor." she said, throwing her case on the floor before sitting down next to her. "Chaos in the stables, it's all good now."

She looked at all the kids surrounded around her best friend and smiled, thinking of all the stuff she had brought along with her. Boy was this going to be fun!

Arya had reached into her orange sleeping bag and pulled out a chocolate frog she had been saving for later, slowly unwraping it as she looked up at the professor."Mmhmm, best sleepover ever."Grining she looked at her orange and green socks, wiggling her toes. Arya stuffed the frog in her mouth as she watched Mrs.Lawson take a seat next to the other professor. Seeing how her mouth was full of chocolate, she decided to wave at the professor instead.

Melanie crept over toward the story telling area, just as the professor started talking. She loved a good story and she'd heard professor Lupa was a pretty awesome story teller from the Slytherins, last term.

Naturally she couldn't miss this. As she spotted Kaika's brother, talkative, little Treyen, Melanie walked over to him, plopping down Indian-style. "Hi Tryen." she whispered quietly, clinging to her penguin pillow.

Listening to Professor Lupa's compliment a small, pleased grin, crossed the fourth year's face. She peered down at her own pajamas, a pair of warm, flannel blue plaid bottoms with her I'm With Stupid shirt. Melanie took a moment to make sure it wasn't pointing at anyone, and then watched Lupa expectantly, a grin still fixed on her lips.

Hooray for stories!

She so wasn't too old for this.

Spying Arya's wave, Professor Lawson smiled brightly and waved the girl over. She'd be FIRST!! "Come sit in front of me," she whispered, opening up her case with a sneaky grin.

Arya reached under her sleeping bag and retrieved a small bottle of butterbeer, yea she kept alot of things in the sleeping bag. She excitedly hoped over to one of her favorite professors and sat in front of her, eyeing the case with intrest."Heya Professor Lawson! How ya been?"she whispered back, unsure why they were whispering but to excited to care.

Invisible and quiet as a mouse (except for a brief chuckle- he just couldn't hold it in!), Peeves snuck up behind Arya with a handful of ice cubes. Selecting the biggest one, he slipped it into the back of her pajama shirt, then zoomed away, still invisible.



INVISIBLE PEEVES slipped up behind Bella, putting ice down the back of HER shirt, too.

Peeves then seated himself behind Melanie for a moment-- still INVISIBLE -- and let out a blast of VERY LOUD, VERY RUUUUDE, VERY SMELLLY GAS.

THPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPBT!

It was all he could do to keep from laughing-- EVERYONE would think it was the girl!

O________________O

Hearing... what could only be described as a guilty cheese cutter, Jake whirled around.

Melanie... had...

Jake let out a brief giggle-snort and immediately... smelt it.

Without a word, except maybe a gagging noise, Jake covered his nose with his bunny. Better.

Still, he raised an eyebrow at Melanie. Stinky girl.

Lugging her sleeping bag and and pillow, (a pillow suspiciously without pillowcase but that was because she was holding her pillowcase in hand which was ladened with a few things she'd taken from the junk food feast) Ivory made her way through the sleeping bags.

She was wearing her favorite panda sleeping shirt and some blue drawstring pajama bottoms that were too long for her. The effect was a funny shuffle that left her toes peeking out.

Spotting Arya and one of her favorite teachers not too far off, she raised her arm to give them a big wave and was about to open her mouth when....

Oh holy chocolate frogs....

Closing her mouth again she couldn't resist a small gag. Her mouth had been open and everything.

Of course she did what every person in this situation would do...she turned around to see who was to blame.

Seeing Melanie the super cool girl from DADA she had to admit she was surprised. It had been such a ... display of force she could've sworn it was guy.

No matter...Shrugging her shoulders and giving Melanie a small smile and shrug that said 'hey-it-happens" she plopped down her bear sleeping bag that had been a gift from her brothers and sat down right across from Arya wiggling her toes at her friends toes, a huge smile on her face for both Arya and her favorite Professor Lawson

"Heya peeps..!"

Marie was just about to get up and go to the food table when she heard it, someone had just let out the loudest........ EWWWWW, the smell about knocked her out.

She looked around expecting to find a disgusting boy, instead she seen a...... GIRL.

'I knew Huffies were disgusting' she thought 'but geez that was just nasty'. Maybe the girl better go check her pants and make sure there was nothing in them.

Losing her appetite from the smell she sat back down and covered her nose with the sleeve of her jammies.

Professor Lawson scooted around on her backside until she had Arya right where she needed her to be. She reached up to the Hufflepuff's beautiful, full head of hair and ran her hands through it gently. "I've been wonderful," she whispered back. "You have gorgeous hair, honey. Mind if I fix it?"

Without waiting for a response (or permission), Iliana went to work on Arya's pretty locks, brushing and braiding away. She was careful not to interrupt Less' story with too much chatter and worked in silence until she was done. "TA-DA!!! All finished," she said, handing her a smallish mirror.

Ayra took a sip of her butterbeer when she thought she heard someone chuckling behind her. The first year just passed it off as another student laughing at something funny and took another sip, still eyeing Lawson's pink case. And thats when she felt something freezing cold and hard running slowly down her back. Shrieking she arched her back and tried to reach for the foreign object that was runing down her back. With her other hand-that once held her butterbeer- she shook her shirt, causing the object to fall on the floor.

She sighed, relieved the cold was gone and turned to find it was a ice cube. But who had put it there? She rubed her back dry as she scaned the room, annoyed by the prank. Seeing no one that looked suspicious of the dirty deed she slowly turned back to Lawson.



Scrunching her noes at the sudden fowl smell, she looked around to see who gave off the horrid scent. But she soon gave this up when Ivory came and sat infront of her. Her smile returned as she looked at her striped socks. "Heya Ivory! Like the socks." Picking back up her drink she took another sip and leaned back on her other hand.

Bella screamed as she felt something very cold, like freezing to her, go down her jammies top. I was mega cold. She stood up and bagan to jump up and down hoping it would go, she could feel her back going numb. Finally it began to eaze as the, newly found, ice cream began to melt and fall down her back, soaking her jammies and back in ikky liquid.

Who put that down her?

She asked herself as she whirled round in circles trying to find the pranker, she couldn't see who did it mainly from looking. Must be good at acting, she told herself opening her mouth

"Who put ice cream down my back!?" She called to the students and Professors.

Arya watched curiously as Lawson scooted behind her, wonder what the professor was up to. She relaxed when the professor her fingers through her hair, it was one thing that always soothed the girl. "Thank you. Nope, I don't mind."

There was no point in even responding for the professor had already began to work on her hair. Her eyes half-closed, she listened to the story while enjoying the feeling on Lawson doing her hair. It reminded Arya of when her mom would do her hair at night, minus the singing. When the professor finished she opened her eyes and took the mirror, looking at her hair in awe. She couldn't believe what a wonderfull job Lawson had done, it was like the woman had been doing hair for years. Reaching up with her free hand she gently touched her, grining at her reflection."Thanks professor! I love it!"she said, just a smidge above a whisper. Turning she gave the woman a big hug, again carefull not to ruin her beautiful hair. "Ya know...you'd make a good mommy..."She smiled up at the professor.

Pfffft. 'Next time I'll have to try harder!' If there was going to be a next time. How much could getting hit with a sleeping bag be? It was nice and soft and it shouldn't hurt. Maybe she should hit someone else with it first..like..no one! Because now there are two professor's over here..Crud.

Destiny shrugged, not knowing if she was supposed to answer Marie's question. She didn't know the answer anyway. 'Welllllll, if you go over there, bring me back..everything!' she whispered the last word. Kay might be around to hear her and have another reason to call her a pig.

Magic mother of Merlin, what was that smell? 'Never mind Marie. I don't want anything.' Because that was gross, and if that girl ate anything from the food table, Destiny didn't want to end up sounding like that, too.

Yuck.

He was like the AWESOMEST kid ever! "Thank you! I have no candy with me, so you bringing a bunch to share is the greatest! Thank you!" he said, as he took a chocolate frog, yes, just one frog, only one and one only. Treyen could take another one later on, yes?

Thinking about opening it at that same instant or waiting a couple seconds was unnecessary, because Tibi-Ty-T spoke again, and this time he seemed slightly confused. Wait. He'd say Treyen could take one candy, right? He hadn't misunderstood him. Then why so confused?

His head was now tilted to one side, "Well, the pajamas, of course. You just said they were 100 years old" what else was supposed to be in good shape? The chocolate frogs?! Well, those were in good shape too, because they often had the ability to escape from one's hand.

He looked up, as the lady started to speak. Chocolate frog still unwrapped in his hand. A smile was shown as soon as she asked if they were enjoying the sleepover. He nodded, with the same smile, but said nothing further.

And someone Tibi-Ty-T knew came along. "Hey! You brought your pillow! I forgot mine, but I brought two blankets, so...I can use one of them as a pillow, see?" Treyen said, showing the newcomer his folded blanket, "And I bet it is as comfortable as a pillow is" unless it becomes unfolded, but even if it does, that's not an issue, it's not as if he was going to sleep in here for the rest of his life.

"Aren't you a bit too old for having the thumb in your mouth, though?" he wondered, OUT LOUD, as he eyed the boy in question.

Well, look who it is! It's Silent Lockhart making an appearance in the sleepover! And here he was thinking he was the only Hufflepuff who was going to listen to the story.

"Hey Melanie! I haven't seen you around the school, were you gone somewhere else?" true, he'd met this girl, Emalyn, and that one hadn't seen Melanie either, "Ooooh! Congratulations on making the team! A girl named Emalyn told me! I forgot to try out, so I didn't make the team, but that's something you probably already know" yes, because she had to know who her teammates were, yes? Like Aaron! Aaron also got in the team! And he...well, Treyen is not seeing Aaron in here.

"Make sure that arrow does NOT point at me, or Tiberius" never mind the other boy sitting there, he didn't know him.

Hmmm. Apparently, Silent Lockhart was also Stinky Lockhart.

She could at least say 'Sorry', you know.

Her smile returned as she looked at her striped socks. "Heya Ivory! Like the socks." Picking back up her drink she took another sip and leaned back on her other hand.

"Thanks." Ivory smiled merrily, "Yours are pretty cool too" She complimented noticing the wonderful combination of colors.

Watching intently as the Professor combed Arya's hair this way and that she was awed by how in no time at all her hair was arranged in a beautifully perfectly elegant hairstyle.

"Wow, Professor you sure do got a way with hair!" she whispered excitedly, not really knowing why but sure it was important to keep the noise level down. "Arya's right you'd be a super mommy!"

"You look beautiful Arya," she said honestly.

Giving her a wicked smile, she was quick to add a joke. "Because you know you weren't before...."

Pause....

One little snort of laughter, and she couldn't help herself. "Juuuuust kidding....you look B-E-A-utiful all the time!"

With that she ran her small toes over the flat of Arya's foot hoping to incite some giggles.

HAHAHAHA!

Sneaking behind Marie, INVISIBLE PEEVES slipped behind her and was about to drop ice down HER back when inspiration struck.

It was time to up the ante. There WOULD BE CHAOS tonight, Peeves style.

In the corner of the room, undisturbed, sat a fat, fuzzy castle-spider (Whut?! It's a REAL THING!). Quickly he scurried over and scooped it up and then unceremoniously dropped it into the back of Marie Salazar's pajama top.

Still invisible, he thought a sing-song rhyme:

Scurry scurry scurry little spider legs so furry alll over the wittle girl's BACK! Hahaha, IT'S ANOTHER PEEVES ATTACK!

Iron Man... radioactive spider... tie-tay-knee-um... super serum... inventor... The worlds swirled through Kiri's head, leaving behind either confused bafflement or sincere interest. She'd never have imagined that there were so many different kinds of superheroes. Again, most wizarding stories she knew had to do with some old wizard chasing after some golden trinket or something, or a young wizard chasing after a young witch while carrying another golden trinket, such as a diamond ring.

Oh, sure, the superhero formula seemed relatively simple - some guy (Were there any women superheroes? Kiri wondered) either invented something really useful or was hit by something really dangerous that turned out to be useful and then used that to fight similarly powerful enemies - but since it was all new to Kiri, it was all exciting. She'd never heard of a wizard with a secret identity!

Although, since all witches and wizards had to leave in hiding from Muggles, maybe that meant they all shared a secret identity of sorts? That was an intriguing thought. It also occurred to Kiri that some of these powers the superheroes had were reminiscent of things she could do with her wand. Maybe there weren't any superheroes in the wizarding world because it did not occur to anyone to think of these abilities as extraordinary.

A few metres away, the preparations for the storytelling with Professor Lupa seemed to have been almost completed. Kiri grabbed another Chocolate Frog and slid around on her sleeping bag until she could see better. "Here," she said, opening the wrapper and tossing the card to Dylan, "you can have that. And I think the story's just about to start."

Hearing a young sounding, yet LOUD voice nearby, Jake turned and blinked.

And blinked and blinked and blinked and blinked and blinked and blinked and blinked and... blinked.

He HIGHLY doubted that blankets would be as comfortable as his pillow, since pillows had FEATHERS and every thing. All squishy, so his butt wouldn't go numb from the cold hard floor.

Still... it was best to avoid an argument. "I bet it is," he mumbled quietly around his thumb.

Hearing this kid's next words, Jake frowned. He pulled his thumb out of his mouth with a small POP sound, and turned to face him. "N-no," Jake stated straight away. "Muh-my mmmother thinks thhh-that too," he added, and then put his thumb back in there.

"I'm nnnot."

In case he was still in any doubt.

And that is the truth.

Everything was just making her laugh at the moment. Sitting against the wall with her eyes closed, she listened to what was going on around her, and as far as she could tell, Mr. Stutters had arrived, the story was about to begin, Professor Morgan was there, there was food to be eaten that Destiny and Marie wanted....and Peeves arrived as well. "Do you guys think...that we will ever have one normal day here?" she muttered, turning to look at Destiny and Marie.

Though her eyes landed on something on Marie that she seriously thought her eyesight was playing jokes on her. Nah, that couldn't be. Wait...wait wait waitwaitwaitWAITWAIT! DEAR MERLIN! IT WAS MOVING. OH MY- "JEEZ!" she yelled, one moment sitting down and the next she was standing up and trying to move backwards away from Marie. "SPIDER!!"

But it was no use. Someone's sleeping bag was in the way and made her trip and fall backwards onto the cold hard floor. Ouch. And it was definitely going to leave a mark.
