Panting Allison looked left and right and noticed her owl was nowhere to be seen.

"How on...GAH! NO ONE!" exasperated she simply stood and caught her breath. No one, and she meant it. No one had ever turned their back on her. No one ignored her. No one, absolutely no one avoided her. She was Allison! Allison Scott!

Flinching Allison frowned, perhaps she had been a little over-board with her thoughts. The only people she really interacted with was her mother and brother. And well neither would ignore her because...they loved her too much to do so. However the rest of the family was another story. Ignoring the feeling Allison shook her head, took one deep breath and determined herself to find her white elf owl.

Saluting to the statue on her right--as if it would do something back, Allison ran down the staircase hoping she'd catch the little darn owl.

What she didn't know was that as she was descending the stairs, Robin peeked from behind the statue and quietly hooted.

Chelle ran after the girl, who seemed to have lost sight of the owl. Walking upto her, she caught sight of something that looked like an owl behind a statue. "Is that er... Robin, over there?" Chelle said, pointing toward the tiny head.

Practically on the sixth floor Allison rushed up and almost crashed into the girl. Putting her hands on her hips and raising a finger to scold the little owl, she stopped mid-sentence. The darn thing wasn't there.

"I don't see him..." Allison walked toward the statue and stared at it a while. Looking down and behind she didn't see him at all.

Suddenly feeling a large pinch Allison turned to see Robin at her feet pecking at her ankles. She had been completely wrong. The owl although a baby and an elf owl, was stronger than she imagined. She was going to need a muggle band-aid if she didn't go to the healers. Already the mark had begun to bleed a little.

"You darn bloody owl! Look what you've done!" Robin merely stood there looking at his owner's eyes. His eyes huge and filled with misguided concern made Allison forgive him on the spot. He was too darn cute.

"I'll let you take the letter on your beak. But now I've got to go see the healer because you do have a strong lil mouth."

Being carried off his little feet Robin thought of what would've of happened had Allison bled anymore. She would have spent more time at the Healer's, and that would have made him receive less treats. She wouldn't have gotten to visit him at the owlery! Less visits, means less treats. With a squeaky hoot Robin pecked lightly at her fingers.

Not forgetting the girl's great eye-sight, Allison looked over at her and gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry for the trouble. I'm Allison Sc-" Allison quickly cut off her last name. She didn't need her helper to recognize her dirty past. One mention of the family name and she was sure to be judged. Instead, she made believe she had said everything she needed and continued with appreciation, "Really, thank you very much. I dunno when I would've found this fella without you."

Chelle stared at Robin as moments of awkwardness passed between him and the girl. She open her mouth wide as she realised that Robin had pecked her feet.

"I'm sure that cut will be fine after you go to the hospital wing!", she said and smiled.

"Oh, hi Allison! I'm Chelle Wingmist. Actually it's Michelle but you may call me Chelle. I believe we are in the same house!"

"Oh, it's my pleasure to help you! I think you should get going now before that cut turns worse! Goodbye," Chelle turned and headed straight for the library.

"Nice. Again thanks Chelle!" Allison waved as the girl left.

Sighing Allison looked at Robin and smirked, "You are awful. You know I didn't mean to make you feel bad." Shaking her head Allison left the hallway towards the owlery where she'd leave Robin and make her way towards the healer.

Nymphy was exploring! As he rounded the corner directly after the stairs, he ran head first into a statue. After about 5 minutes he came round and got up to look atthe statue. it was beatuiful. but instead of stopping to draw it as he would have usually done, he ran off exploring!

Avery walked around and bumped into Nymphy. "Oof!" Avery didn't fall thankfully. "Sorry I wasnt paying attention" She looked at her feet. Her cheeks turned pink. She didn't mean to walk into him.

Her skin was ivory and her eyes were hazel. She wore smokey eye shadow and her lips were ruby red. In her mouth she wore fake vampire fangs that you stuck to your canines. She didn't know why she wore them, she just liked to. Avery's hair was pitch black with a few extentions. She had a petite and elegant frame and she was around 5 feet tall. A bit short for a sixteen year old girl.

"Sorry!" he said appoligetically. if he hadn't been so excited and been running, they may not have run into each other. "Nice to meet you! I'm Nymphy!" he said, holding out his hand.

"Nice to meet you too", Avery said, "I'm Avery" She shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you!" said in a freindly manner. "What brings you up this way?" he asked. He gave her am inquisitive smile and tilted his head.

"Mostly just wandering the castle, finding new places. The usual", Avery smiled warmly. "So what brings you to this part of the castle?" This boy wasn;t bad looking. Obviously he was younger than her.

Climbling down the steps from his common room, Tyler went towards the statue he was going to meet up with Luce at. With Mr. Snuggle Bear in his bag, Ty began whistling a song. There was no shame in a guy having a teddy bear. When he was younger, that was his only friend since he left Spain. Tyler's siblings were way too old to play with him, so he played with Mr. Snuggle Bear instead.

Arriving at the statue, Tyler leaned against it and waited. He looked down at his bag and patted it. Yup, Mr. Snuggle Bear was still there.

Lucy walked along the seventh floor, looking for a particular statue. But before she found the statue, she saw a certain black-haired someone with a backpack. "Heya!" She said with a smile as she walked up to him. "What's in the bag?" She asked as she nudged him playfully, knowing full well what was in the bag. But Ty knew she was always like that--asking people to state the obvious.

"Hello my lovely red head," Tyler smiled and kissed her head like always. He laughed as Luce nudged him about what was in the bag. But of course, she must've known already. "I would like to introduce you to.... Mr. Snuggle Bear," he smiled and took him out. Ty held him up and gave to Lucy to hold.

Lucy gasped as he took out the bear--or, Mr. Snuggly Bear as he was called. She giggled at the name and then took him from Tyler. "Oh my God, he's SO CUTE!!!" She said with a squeal. And then she started talking to the bear using the voice of a two-year-old. "Hewwo Mr. Snuggwy! I see you like to pway soccer!" She said with a another giggle and then grinned at Tyler. "I wike Mr. Suggwy, Tyler!" She said and then kissed him on his cheek. This beat a pet sheep by a lot.

Tyler grinned as Luce started talking like a little kid to his bear. Awwww, it was so adorable. "I'm glad. Aren't you happy you finally met my bear?" he laughed and leaned back on the statue. Happy moments come with happy endings.

"Yup, I'm glad I got to me him" Lucy said with a smile. And then she leaned in close to him. "So tell me--do you still SLEEP with him?" She asked, wriggling her eyebrows. If he did, that would be so adorable!!!

"Good," Ty laughed and smiled. Tyler's eyes went a bit wide when Luce asked if he slept with his bear. "Only sometimes when I've had a bad day," he sighed. Yup, and that was the truth. Only then did Tyler sleep with Mr. Snuggle Bear.

"Awwww, that's so cute!" She said with a smile as she wrapped her arms around Tyler, squishing the bear with them. Wasn't he just the most adorable thing ever?? Yup. "If I only had my bear. Then we could have introduced them to each other," She said with a sigh, still wrapped around him.

Tyler chuckled as Lucy wrapped her arms around him. Awww, Luce didn't have a bear. "How would you like to have Mr. Snuggle Bear?" Ty smiled and put Mr. Snuggle Bear in her hands.

"Are you serious?" Lucy asked him, her eyes wide. He wasn't actually going to give her HIS BEAR?? The one he SLEPT WITH?? WOW. He was too sweet. But she knew he probably couldn't live without it (as funny as that sounds about a 15-year-old boy) and so she smiled at him and put Mr. Snuggle Bear back in his arms. "Aw, it's okay, Ty. I know you love him, and I don't want to take him away from you," She said sweetly. "But," She sad with a huge grin, "you get points for being so generous," She said and then kissed him. No, not on the cheek!

"Yeah, I'm serious," he laughed. "Don't worry, I can always get a new bear and name him Mr. Snuggle Bear II," Ty smiled. But then, Lucy placed his bear back into his hands. But the "but", made Tyler arch an eyebrow. When Lucy kissed, he smiled into the kiss. "I'm glad I got those pints then," he chuckled and parted from her. "So, what do you wanna do now?"

"How about if...you buy me a bear instead?" She said with a grin. "But only if you want to," She added quickly, not wanting him to feel like he was obligated to get her one. He seemed like he really wanted to give her his bear, but she didn't feel right taking him. Well, only if he wanted to.
"Umm...Oooooh, wanna go to Hogsmeade??? Yesss, let's got there!" She said with a an excited jump and clapped her hands. She grabbed his hand and ran down the corridor.

"If I save enough money, I'll buy you one," he smiled and kissed her again. But he was quickly parted from her when Lucy started dragging him down the hall. "Sure, but where in Hogsmeade?" he asked as they started running.
