"Ahhhh," Jake nodded, a knowing smile on his face. No wonder Tibi was a Ravenclaw. "Suhh-sssmart..."

Beaming down at the little daisy he kept twirling around, Jake nodded his head. He was just... so happy. "Wuhh-we cccan start with thuhh-this ssspell... sssince it were huhh-homework..."

Wait... hang on...

Looking at Tibi with some surprise, Jake gaped at the ball, momentarily not smiling... 'til the corners of his mouth turned up slowly, and he looked positively ecstatic. For Tibi to offer that... "Yeah," Jake whispered and, despite being precariously balanced on the monkey bars, he reached over and gave Tibi a brief, but still warm, friendly hug. "Tthhhanks..."

HAPPINESS!

Barry looked at Georgie "Um... freinds? " More people? Barry wasn`t sure what he felt about more people but maybe it`d be okay to invite a few freinds "Yeah sure, if you want me to, I will. Your organising it".
"You do look like a party persson " said Barry quitely. It was nice having Rex around
"I don`t mind" Barry said he started pushing her, Wow Georgie was heavy! But Barry tried to pretend it was no sweat, then he went back to humming

Iris looked at Aaron... He looked weird with his ears on show. Not a bad weird ... Just a ... weird ... weird, you know?

She could feel herself going light-headed ... Staying upside down much longer wouldn't be good at all. Iris decided that it would be best for her to get down. She let go of Aaron's hand and grabbed hold of the bars above her, then freeing her legs from the bars. She dropped from the bars, slightly dizzy. She sat on the sandy floor, cross legged, and leant back on her elbows. "Heyy, everything's the right way up, now." she said to Aaron, looking up at him with a smirk.

He is such a show off. Still up there, all flashy.
Shurrup, you. I can show off too.
Oh really? How.
Butterlfies.
Butterflies?
Yes.

Iris took her wand out of the holster (it had turned out to be quite handy, as opposed to stupid like she'd first thought.) and looked at Aaron, "Aaron, Watch thiiiis." She tapped the wand a couple of times, mentally making sure that she had the right spell. She focused on the spell, "Papilio!" Iris smiled at Aaron as seven rainbow-coloured butterflies flew from her wand.

Who's the show off now, eh?

Georgiana rolled her eyes playfully, though of course he couldn't see it, he was behind her. "Well, Barry we might be organzing it, but it's your party, and we want you to be comfortable." she turned to smile at him.

When he said he didn't mind pushing her Georgie blushed again, "Barry you really don't have to!" she felt bad that Rex had said he should, Barry probably thought he had to now.

Aaron smiled as Iris swung down and sat on the ground. now Aaron needed to be right side up. so he grabbed the bar, let his legs go, twisted his body, and pulled himself on top of the monkey bars. Aaron smirked as Iris performed the spell. He clapped. "Nice job."

My turn...

He took his wand out and pointed it on the ground near Iris. "Orchideous." Surprisingly, it worked. A patch of flowers appeared near Iris, and Aaron brought the spell all around Iris. "Now you." Smirk.

She smiled at him as he clapped; squinting slightly in the sunlight.

Iris raised her eyebrows as Aaron took out his wand too, but then grinned as he conjured up flowers all around her. "Nice job to you, too." She said, slightly surprised at how well he'd conjured them.

Oh. So he was making it into a contest, now?

She smirked back, "Fine." She picked the pickest, brightest flower from the bunch that he'd conjured and put it infront of her, away from the other ones. Iris pointed her wand at it, "Wingardium Leviosar." She watched the flower carefully as it rose, and then directed it towards Aaron. Iris lowered her wand when the flower had levitated across to Aaron and was right infront of him.

Iris looked at him with a small smile on her face, not saying anything.

Aaron watched the flower float up and infront of him. So he took it and pointed his wand at it. "Engorgio!" The flower grew and grew to 4 times it's size. Aaron smirked and dropped it back down to Iris.

Iris watched Aaron as he enlarged the flower, grinning in disbelief.

Competitive much?

She raised her eyebrow at him as he dropped it back down to her. She was very nearly tempted to Aguamenti him just for doing that. But no... That would be mean... you know, incase he fell off the monkey bars.

Instead, she went back to her first spell. "Papilio!" This time, instead of seven rainbow coloured butterflies, there was just one butterfly. A great big, 2 foot wide Luna Moth. Oh yes. That was much bigger than your average, obese Pidgeon - you know the kind, the ones that live outside Greggs and eat all the leftover sausage rolls.

She grinned to Aaron as the Moth flew skywards with a look that said, "Don't go bigger than that - I don't think it would end well"

A monster Butterfly for a monster sized flower, no?

Aaron watched he cast the same spell as before, but instead of a cute little butterfly there was a-

"Oh my god!!!" Aaron got freaked out at the giant butterfly. His body started sliding backwards and Aaron almost completely fell of the monkey bars, but he caught himself and did a backflip off them and landed on his feet completely off balance so he fell to the ground. "Oof!" Aaron laid there for a moment and saw the giant butterfly above him. "Ah!" He jumped up and ran to Iris a bit out of breath. "Holy...Crap." After a moment he started laughing.

Iris watched Aaron's reaction to the butterfly. Ha! He sooo wasn't expecting it. Iris's amusement didn't last long though - it was replaced with fear when she noticed him flailing about and almost falling off the mokeybars. However, before she could call out (because it would have made all the difference.) Aaron had BACKFLIPPED off the bars.

She just gawped at him as he lay on the sandy grass. She hoped that he'd not hurt himself or anything ... She'd feel so very bad if he was.

Iris looked at him guiltily as he ran over to her, getting away from the butterfly. "Sorry ... " She mumbled quietly, trying not to laugh and failing. "I ... Yeah. Sorry." She aimed her wand at the butterfly, which was sat on the monkey bars, "reducio" She lowered her wand when the butterfly seemed like a normal size, then looked back to Aaron, "You ok?"

"Am I ok?" He said laughing. "That thing... Is crazy." He said just as she made it smaller. Aaron hugged her tightly and spun her around. Just because he wanted to. He then sat on the grund and laughed a little more. "That was fun... You win." He leaned bak on his elbows and looked up.

Iris grinned as he replied to her. "Oh, good. *haha* I know it is." She half squealed, half laughed as he spun her around. When he put her down, she smiled brightly as him as she sat down next to him. "Yeah ... It was fun." She looked at him and smirked when he said she won, and just stayed quiet as she thought about ... stuff. Like one of the competitive battles they'd had about a year ago ... This had definitely ended better than that first visit to the pumpkin patch.

Aaron's large smile got smaller and smaller as Aaron remembered he and her last competition. And Aaron knew Iris was thinking about it too. Aaron leaned in close to Iris and kissed her on the cheek. "I change my mind, I win." He said with a smile.

"Well thank you Georgiana" Rex commented about that everyone is nice. "Do not worry, I will not tell Barry you like him in that way" Rex whispered to Georgiana. Rex went back to pushing the swing for Kay.

" Barry, this is fun pushing the girls" Rex told him. " You know I think they need to push us boys, too" Rex said to Barry. "What do you think girls?" Rex asked Kay and Georgiana.

Georgiana smiled greatfully at Rex, "Thanks!" she said, forgetting to whisper. She laughed hearing him and hopped off her swing when it was at the peak, and landed gracefully on her feet, just like a cat. Her brother used to make fun of her for being able to do that. She turned, "Go ahead and sit, I'm game!"

Tibi smiled and hugged his friend, careful not to fall off the bars. "Yeah, homework spell first... and then we can send the flowers to our mums." He giggled, thinking about how surprised his would be when Pidg showed up with a bunch of flowers that he'd made.

"You wanna do it now?" He turned to his friend and shrugged. Might as well, right? "And then later we can try some of the other spells from last term?"

Tibi unholstered his wand and rolled it around in his hand.

" Barry, let Georgiana push you" Rex told him and smiled at her. " Kay. push me, please" Rex said to her. "Well, I am glad you fel the way you do" Rex explained to Georgiana( he meant about Barry)

Kay had listened to everyone about the party and the swings. Kay got up to let Rex on the swing. She started to push the swing for Rex. "Guys where do you think we should have it, the party I mean." Kay said as she pushed Rex. "We could do it by the lake or here even." Kay looked at Barry and couldn't believe he would be 18. He was a grown up in the wizarding world. Maybe he didn't want to have a kid party. "Maybe we should change a few things on my list." Kay said thinking out loud. She didn't really think anyone was going to answer her. "Butterbeer, cake, dancing. More grown up stuff." When she realized she was talking out loud she blushed and littel and went back to pushing Rex on the swing.

After finished making her strange castle Loretta decided that the best place to go would be the monkey bars, with a wave of her wand the castle disappeared then she ran to the monkey bars and hit her head on the top bar when she jumped up. Laughing as she came down she didn't even bother to dust herself off as she tried again to make it on to the monkey bars.

"Thanks" said Barry "You are too" he said this looking at Georgie but he meant Rex and Kay too . He knew they liked him so why did they tell him? He was confused. He`d have to ask Livvy about it sometime.
"Yeah but I don`t want to invite someone you might not like!" said Barry, that would be a disaster, he wasn`t going to give up his old freinds but wanted to keep these new ones too!" And I`m not good at invitations either" he said
"You don`t have to, I don`t mind if you don`t push me" Barry said, he knew how hard it was so he didn`t want to have to make her do it too!!

"I don`t really mind, just do it somewhere where the groundskeeper won`t mind, you don`t want to make him mad" Barry knew the groundskeeper, last time he`d done a party he hadn`t been that happy. "Oh and make the party whatever you want, I`ll like it anyway" said Barry comforting Kay, he didn`t really want a party but if he was having one he should at least make Kay happy

Kay wanted to cheer, but Barry didn't really look happy about it. Was it the Groundkeeper he was worried about. "Don't worry about the groundkeeper, I'll asked him before I do anything." Kay said as she pushed Rex in the swing. "And don't worry about if we like the people you invent, it's your party and there will be NO fighting. It's to be fun." Kay said smiling at her Cousin. She would make sure no one didn't anything to up set the party.

Georgiana chuckled, "Thanks Rex..." she wasn't sure what else there was that she could say.

Georgie smiled at him, they all were nice. She was glad she met all of them. She truly was.

Georgiana chuckled, that was sweet of him to not want to invite people they might not like, but then again they were his friends too, and it took a lot for Georgie to have an issue with someone. "Barry, I'm sure your a good judge of character, I think we'll like any of your friends." she smiled reassuringly, it was his party.

Georgiana shook her head, "It's okay, you pushed me I can push you." she looked down at her figure, she was kind of small and he was much taller but then again, 5 years of gymnastics really helped strengthen your arms. That, and playing a friendly game of tackle football with an older brother.

Georgiana nodded her head in agreement with Kay's words, "Exactly! It's your day Barry, we can all swallow our pride and have fun for a day!" she said, using the strength in her arms to give one strong starter push.

ooc-no worries!

"Right-o," Jake nodded, listening to Tibi as he began rooting around in his pockets. His jacket had about four pockets, and his trousers had about six, not to mention the hooded top he wore under his jacket which was useful for carrying stuff. "Really nnneed a hhholster," the boy muttered, surprised at himself for considering. Hadn't he always said he'd never wear one?

Finally finding his wand tucked into the waistband at the back of his jeans (he didn't know why it was there, the boy was always afraid of sitting on it), Jake held it out with a smile, swinging his legs back and forth on high.

"Ssssounds like a puhh-plan," Jake nodded, though he hadn't really heard the idea at all. Right.

STOP.

It's magic time.

Holding the wand out in front of him, Jake sat with his back straight and confidently recited the sounds, without a stutter. "Or-kid-ee-us!" and did the little swoopy motion he was meant to. It seemed the confidence had an effect, though Jake didn't know that was the reason, because he now had a TWO-HEADED (did flowers have heads?) daisy that was NOT wilting! It even had the weird pinkish things.

"Awesome!" the boy grinned, almost squealing in childish delight. "Yuhh-you gggo."

"We could have a party at The Leaky Cauldron or the candy shop or the lake or whever" Rex told Kay. " Barry is a grown up, maybe he would like a boy-girl party" Rex whispered to Kay. "We could have muggle games like charades, pictionary, whatever " Rex said to Kay. " Now I push you again on the swing again honey" he told Kay.

" Barry. how can we not like anyone you like?" Rex asked him. " Your friends are probably just as cool as you" Rex told Barry. " I agree with you,we should hold the party where we can not get into trouble" Rex said to Barry. "Oh yes, I can just see Barry the troublemake in detention" Rex laughed hard.

"wow, you and Kay are strong" Rex told Georgiana. " I think you two will have a great time at the party together" Rex said to Georgiana and Barry. " I am glad you like all of us" Rex told her.

Iris was completely lost in a train of thought, thinking about that time (and the time after that) that she and Aaron had spent in the Pumpkin Patch; completely forgetting that she was sat in sandy grass in the middle of the playground with Aaron.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when Aaron kissed her cheek. She looked at him and laughed as Aaron spoke. "How, exactly, do you win?" She asked with a sarcastic smile, knowing exactly why he won.
