Alessia conjured a stool and placed it at the other side of the great hall. This was going to be a fun evening... She could see Tate on the dias and she smiled. Silly boys never changed. She placed the book under the stool and waited for children to gather.
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."
Dylan took another frog, and took a bite out of its head. Mmmmm chocolate. He wondered if there were cream filled chocolate frogs. They would taste nice. Maybe he could make them. Take and bite and cream all splurts out. Sounded like a plan.
His ears picked up to hear if the story had started. It hadn't quite yet. He peered down at his shirt. Well Headmaster Tate's shirt. Nope he hadn't yet got any chocolate down it. He didn't plan on doing it either.
"Thanks," he caught the card. "Oooo a Gwenog Jones. I don't know if I need her. You sure you don't want this one? Captain of the Harpies in the 1980's." She was kind of cute.
"Which comic do you want to read? Anyone in particular? Fantastic Four has Susan Storm. She is Invisible Woman."

Becca was just about to answer Professor Lupa's question, when she heard about two or three earsplitting screams and forgot about it. Ice down people's backs. Becca shivered. She'd hate that, being that it was January, though maybe not so much in June. Taking herself out of her thoughts, Becca turned and immediatly regretted it as she saw a big yucky spider crawling up some Slytherin's back. Immeadiatly, she felt itchy and crawly and wanted to saw something, but she could not remember the girl's name for the life of her! Oh what was it!
Raiden had decided that... he would not go to the slumber party thing. That he was just going to spend the night trying to think of ways to catch the blue mouse, so he could get rid of these kneazle ears and the crup tail.
Yet somehow, he'd ended up in the Great Hall.
Huh.
Probably because he'd realised that... well if the mouse was in here, it would come out tonight. For food, or because it was scared because of the loudness of the students... it would come out.
If it was even in here in the first place.
It didn't hurt to try, right? He couldn't just sit around all the time, waiting for a trap to catch the thing. And... well he was a prefect, so it was one of his duties to be here.
Yeah. He kept telling himself that.
Scratching his ear, he stood watching other students as the milled about. Everyone else was in their pajamas, with some markedly more ridiculous-looking than others, which made Raiden feel a little bit less self-conscious about his own. He'd taken to sleeping without a shirt, but... well he wasn't in his dorm, so he'd pulled on a sleeveless shirt and thrown a zip-up sweatshirt over it, for good measure.
It was winter, after all.
Quietly, a soft smile playing over his lips, he watched Kiri and Dylan as they came within his range of vision. They'd been getting along pretty well, hadn't they? That was good. It was nice to see people getting along. Heh.

"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.
"Thanks Ivy!"Yup, this was her new nickname whether she liked it or not. Arya's way of offically making the girl her best friend. She playfully glared at the girl's next comment. "I was more beautiful than yooou."She shot back at her friend, returning the evil grin. She wondered how long they could go with this staring contest they seemed to be having.
She stuck her tongue out at Ivory's last comment playfully."I know!"A small stream of giggles escaped Arya's lips when she felt something on her foot. Pulling it close to her she rubbed away the ticklish sensation as she returned her playful glare to Ivory. Planing her next attack...

His eye catching a huge spider on someone's back, Jake found himself jumping up to his feet and running towards the person and spider. He still had his cuddly toy in his hand
as he asked; "Cuhh-can I hhhave him? Puh-puh-please?"
PLEEEEEEEASE!
Jake had of course forgotten that this girl was right by Evelyn and Destiny. And she'd been glaring at him by the sleeping bags.
Nope. He didn't remember... right now.

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.
Yeah, Marie was gagging here from the smell too so she was glad when Destiny said she didn't want anything now. "Good because I have totally lost my appetite now. Maybe we should go over by the fire to get away from the smell."
Seriousely, how could one girl produce something that nasty?!

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

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!
Just as she was about to lean back she felt something crawling down her back. Thinking Destiny was messing with her she turned to tell her to stop it only to realize she wasn't touching her. She looked around to see who else was near them.
Frozen and afraid to move she whispered to Destiny, "There's something crawling down my back."
That's when she heard Evelyn yell..........

"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.
SPIDER!!!
No it couldn't be, she couldn't have a spider on her. Yet she still felt something on her and Evelyn was trying to get away from her.
She quickly got up and started jumping around....
"GETITOFFGETITOFF, IT'SGONNABITEME"!
Oh Merlin, she was going to get bitten by a spider and die right there in front of everyone. Was anyone going to help and get the thing off of her?

She stopped jumping when someone came over and asked if they could have the spider. Looking up she seen it was.... JAKE. What was he going to do with a spider? Oh heck, she didn't care, she just wanted it off of her.
"Um yeah, if you get it off me you can have it, it's all yours, take it away," she practically screamed at him.
"Take it far, far, far, far away"'like in the fire far away' she thought.

Bella had sat down again, no one had responded to her shout. Tipical, she thought, a bit annoyed. She was just about to bite into a pasty when she heard some one shout Spider, her head shot up. Did they say spider? She HATED them.
Bella shot up, she saw it crawl up the girl. She looked like she was from Slytherin. But nevertheless she was creeped. If it came anywhere near here she would SCEAM!

Ivory could not resist a huge toothy smile.
That's what her family called her!!!! Deciding she liked the idea of her bestest friend calling her that, she stared right back, her left eye twitching with the amusement of being made to stay open.
"I know....you got the looks and I," she pointed to herself with her thumb. " got the brains!"
Giggling, she reached forward and pinched the edge of Arya's orange sock, pulling it to her with a plop. (ooc: couldn't think of a sound for sock removal )
Waving the sock in the air like a little fat kid having found a twinkie at long last, she pointed to the exposed foot.
"I see TOES!" she exclaimed as loudly in a whisper as she could quickly scrunching up her feet indian style to keep them safe.
No it couldn't be, she couldn't have a spider on her. Yet she still felt something on her and Evelyn was trying to get away from her.

"I wuhh-want it! Guhh-give it hhhhere!" Jake insisted as he charged towards the girl and tried to grab the spider off of her. He wanted that spider sooooo soooooooo bad!
"Keep STILL!"

"Which comic do you want to read? Anyone in particular? Fantastic Four has Susan Storm. She is Invisible Woman."
"Erm..." Kiri briefly considered this. Gwenog Jones? She was an interesting person, sure, but what would she actually do with the card once she had it. Just put it on her bedside cabinet? "No, it's alright, have her. Not sure what I'd do with her. I don't think I'm much of a collector."
She smiled slightly. "I'd rather hear more about those comics. Are the Fantastic Four any good?" She tapped her lips thoughtfully. "And why is she called Susan Storm if she's invisible? Shouldn't she be called, um... Heidi Hidden or som-... Who are you looking at?"
Dylan had turned around, watching someone - or something - behind Kiri. She twisted around and spotted... Raiden. He still hadn't got rid of his Kneazle features! Kiri felt a stab of anger at Professor Kazimeriz. Leaving Raiden to deal with the ears and the tail for such a long time was just mean. Raiden looked really out of place. Kiri waved. "Want to ask him over?" she asked Dylan.

Really, what was the boy going to do with it. He better not try putting it on Destiny or Evelyn. If he did that she would so get him.

Spider!? Where was it?
Destiny would have laughed at Evelyn as she fell, but there were more important things to attend to. Like where was the spider, and if someone tried to kill it! Destiny wouldn't allow the death of a spider, not on her watch anyway.
Noooo! Jake was going to get the spider before Destiny! 'Noooo, Jake! I want it!'
Eeek! He was charging at Marie like some sort of wild animal.
Scary.

Oh no, now Destiny wanted the spider too, was she crazy?!
"I don't care who gets the spider, just GET IT OFF ME"!!! she shouted.
They could fight over it later, once it wasn't touching her anymore.

Dylan chuckled, "Her name is Susan Storm. Her superhero name is Invisible Woman. She is part of the Fantastic Four. It's not a bad comic. I tend to read more Iron Man." Yep he loved Tony Stark. Even during the Demon in a Bottle stage.
He nodded, "Only if you want him over. He looks like he needs someone to sit with." He had grown to like Raiden. And Kiri. Kiri was hot! He waved a Raiden. Come hither boy.

Oh jeez. Everything was happening so fast!! Everyone wanted the spider!! She was surrounded by freaks!
Scooting away on the floor as quickly as she could, Evelyn watched Destiny and Mr. Stutters fight over the spider with wide eyes as they chased one another. How could they like such disgusting and nasty creatures?! IT WAS INSANE! And Jake named it! He named it Peetah...or something.
Wait...didn't Jake have a pet spider last year? What if...What if he was letting it run around in here? It could be crawling on her right now! On her leg and arms! She could feel it! EEK!!
Noooo! Jake was too fast for her. And he got away with it!
'It wasn't your spider!' It wasn't Destiny's either, but Marie was her friend, sooo technically, she should have first dibs.
Ehh, what the heck. Destiny started chasing after Jake and the spider, that she wanted so bad! 'He stole MY spider!'
It was hard to run in socks..just saying.
"NEVARHHHH!" Jake exclaimed, sprinting full pelt back towards where his pillow sat, all docile looking.
Until Jake jumped onto it.
Anddddd acroooosssss the hall he started to slide, which was a bit further than he wanted to go. The boy jumped OFF of the pillow and in a wiiiiiiiiide circle to try and get back to the story telling area.
"It's okah-okay Pidah," he said to the creature inside his cupped hands. All safe. "Yuhh-you're with mmmme."
And he ran around in a BIIIIIIIG circle, jumped back on the pillow, and went skidding back towards the story area with Pidah the spider.

"HEELLLLPPP!" Jake cried, running away from Destiny, Evelyn and the other girl as quick as he could. "SHUHH-SHE TRY TTTTO STEAL MY 'PIDAH!!!!"
"Tha....." was all she got out when she tried to thank Jake for getting the spider off her. He just took off running and yelling before she could finish.
Really?! He's yelling that Destiny was going to take his spider. Marie had started to think that maybe the boy wasn't as bad as everyone said since he did save her from death... but not anymore.
If they got in trouble because of him she was going to be furious.
Raiden had stuck to watching Kiri and Dylan, staying away from them so they could talk about whatever they were on about without interruption. He blatantly ignored whatever was going on with the spider; he did not like spiders, and therefore he was not going to go after Destiny to stop her chasing down Jake. Even though he still had her wand, in his pocket... he'd give it back to her later.
However, when Kiri and Dylan both waved at him... well that meant that it was okay to approach them, right? Right. One hand in his pocket, the other rubbing at the pinched spot on his ear, he approached the pair, giving them a brief smile.
"Having a good time?" he asked lightly, making sure to step closer to them so the kids (they were running around now? Over a spider?) didn't bash into him and knock him over.
Noooooo....spiders didn't belong with people...nor were great pets or anything. They belonged in the wild! Where they could be happy!
And...Treyen heard someone called the boy that had the thumb-in-mouth issue 'Jake'. Interesting. He'd heard of a Hufflepuff named Jake. A fellow House-mate that was named Jake. Could this be the same?
"Let the spider be! I bet it only wants to be left alone in a dark corner! Or a tree, or under a tree, or outside, or as I've just said, in a dark corner!" he exclaimed, moving over to where the spider people were.
"If it was your spider, Jake, then you are not doing a very good job keeping it with you, right? And, if it was your spider, girl, then you weren't doing a very good job either. I say, let the poor thing alone, it's probably scared by now! Poor spider!" he said, shaking his head, all worried about the little (or not too little) spider.

'You give that spider to me now, MISTER!' Ehh, she sounded like her parents right now, but who cared? The spiders life was at stake in the hands of that boy! He would probably do experiments on it..poor spider!
HAHAHAHA! Destiny almost laughed when the boy went sliding on his pillow. That actually looked like fun but still..the spider's life. 'You're gonna squash the spider!' and Destiny would cry if that happened.
And what was Jake doing now? Destiny chased him in the circle he was running in. At least it wasn't a small circle, then she would get all dizzy and fall down. Oh for the love of Merlin, Destiny was gonna pass out!
Skidding to a stop, since her socks were all slippery and such, Destiny glanced a hole into that first year boy. He was talking nonsense..'How about I put you in a dark corner? So I don't have to hear your NONSENSE?'
And back to chasing Jake, and HER spider.

Jacob just shook his head as people were running away from the spider. Then Jake and that slytherin girl in his year started fighting over the spider. People in this school were crazy.
When looked back to see what the two were doing he saw that Jake went running off screaming, andd the slytherin chased after him. these two really liked spiders, he wondered why. The spider was probebly scared to death by now. 'Maybe it would start biting people!' he thought, he was very hopeful of that. YAY for chaos!
Skidding to a stop, since her socks were all slippery and such, Destiny glanced a hole into that first year boy. He was talking nonsense..'How about I put you in a dark corner? So I don't have to hear your NONSENSE?'
And back to chasing Jake, and HER spider.
Unbelievable. How come people could be so selfish as to forget spiders tended to have feelings too! Someone should ask the spider where it wanted to be, anyway.
"But that's ridiculous! It's not like I'll stay put in said dark corner! And, besides, it's no nonsense, spiders have feelings too, and if did belong to you, then it ran away for a reason" perhaps she wasn't a very good owner, not that one truly owned an animal, see?
But after this, he decided perhaps Jake was the one who should keep the spider.
