This is definitely the place to go if you're looking to get rid of some stress or knock out some of your excess energy. Go on, pull up a swing or go for a slide! Act like a monkey on the monkey bars. Or, take a seat in the sand that surrounds all the equipment and build a castle.

Just beware of a certain Herbology professors cat on the search for a new litter box.

"Have fun with you?" Giving Iris an incredulous look, he dropped down from the monkey bars, landing on his knees. "I would never dare to do such a thing." After straightening his hat, he got up on his feet.

Looking at Iris, then the swings, and then back at Iris again, he stifled his laughter. "Those are swings, dear. You..uh, swing..on them." Fidgeting with his hat out of habit, he swept a hand in their direction. "Wanna try? They're kinda fun."

Iris raised her eyebrow at him. " Somehow I doubt that highly." He was using her naivete against her, but she decided to let it go just this once. He was rather charming in his silly top hat, besides he was the only friend she had made at Hogwarts so far.
Looking to the swings she sighed. "I suppose I could try them, but you will have to show me." She stood and smoothed her skirt back into place. Running her hand over her raven locks she made sure no hair had escaped her neat bun at the base of her neck. "Now I am trusting you Zachary, please don't make a fool of me so that I grow to regret giving this trust." She was nervous! How could she be nervous when just a month ago her sister-in-law had a blade to Iris' throat while training her with swords? This Zachary boy would be dangerous.

And just as she approached the jungle gym... what should she see but a boy perfectly in the stage that probably still believed in cooties. YES. Score!!! Livvy believed that if she were to make friends, she might as well make friends with a kid who wouldn't end up crushing on her... or getting to her... to get close to a friend. Not that it had ever happened before. Ahem. COUGH. Barry. COUGH. What just happened?

"Need a push?!"

Pumping his little legs as fast as they could go, Aaron was already beginning to feel the thrill of the crisp air against his skin, as the adrenaline continued to flow steadily through his veins. It was so peaceful out here, so cool, the young boy was quite glad to be enjoying perhaps one of the last days of freshness until March. Not that he didn't like the snow . . . snowball fights were fun

. . . But it wasn't the same as the Fall or Spring cool air.

That was when a voice suddenly broke through the stillness of the air. Mid swing, out of shock, the young first year suddenly jumped from the swing and landed on his hands and knees in the mulch. Standing up and brushing off himself, he looked around to see where the voice came from, who it be directed at, etc.

No one around. Except, a TALLER girl, who looked familiar. Cocking his head slightly to the side, Aaron squinted up at her. "You! Look familar?" Course his young voice made the last word come out like family instead of familiar. Ah, young confused minds.

Nina wanted to make tons of friends. Or at least acquaintances. That way, throughout all her years at Hogwarts, she should always have at least one person per class to talk to. So what better place to make friends than at the playground? After all, that's where she always made friends when she was little. So she walked onto the playground and gave a general hello to everyone there.

"Hey everyone!" she said brightly, smiling and waving.

"It's easy. Really. Trying to explain how it works, with the physics and all that, is a bit difficult, but the act of swinging is actually quite simple." With his hat askew, Zach pursed his lips, concentrating on not turning this outing into something out of a Charles Chaplin film. Thinking on that as he approached the swingset, the boy did surmise that he could be a ringer for the silent film star if he dared grow out that signature mustache.

Straightening his hat, seemed to help align his thoughts as well, before grabbing the chains of the nearest swing. "So, uh, you take a seat here." Giving the seat of the swing a little pat, that boy he grew up with muggles smiled nervously. Not even someone as accident prone as him could screw this up...right?

Lucy walked over to the playground, smiling to herself as she walked over to the monkey bars. She stood there, contemplating if she should try to go on. Eh, what if she fell?? Better not risk it, she thought, and headed over to the swings. She sat down and slowly swung herself, humming under her breath.

Playgrounds are awesome.

Typically, as soon as he was better Torin was making his way over to the swings. Because he wanted to jump off of them like an idiot. Like he had done when he was little.

It was so much fun.

He walked over to the swings and saw that Lucy was there already. Cool. He hadn't seen her in a while. "Heyyy," he said as he stood in front of her but far enough away that she wouldn't kick him in the face.

Or so he hoped.

Lucy was starting swinging herself a little faster but right before she started gaining speed, she noticed a familiar boy standig infront of her. Didn't he know it was very hazardous to stand infront of someone who was swinging?? Apparently not. Lucy dragged her feet in the sand to stop herself and looked up at him--it was Torin!! She hadn't seen him since last year!
"Heyy Torin! What's up?" She said as she started swinging slowly again, making sure not to hit Torin. "By the way, did you know that it's very dangerous to stand in front of a person on a swing?" She said nonchalantly. 'Tis true.

He smiled as she stopped swinging just to resume it more slowly. She was being careful because of him. Awww. Good, 'cause he didn't want to get his face injured. Brody wouldn't like it either. "I am not that close to you." hehe.

He moved over to the swing beside her and sat down on it, pushing off of the ground. "Nothing much. Just getting out again after being sick. What about you?" He hadn't seen her in a long time.

Lucy rolled her eyes at him, but laughed nonetheless. "Yeah, but still. I don't want to smack into you," She said as the wind blew her hair in her face.
She grinned when he took the swing beside her--at least there was no danger now. Unless he decided to jump off the swing or something. "You were sick? Oh, that sucks! What happened?" She said as she turned to look at him. The poor thing. "I'm doing great," She said with a smile, wondering if he would notice the change she had made to her hair.

Cadence looked up from her poetry journal at the sound of Lucy's voice. Yep... that was her cue to leave. She shut the journal and jumped down off the monkey bars and walked toward the castle, passing Lucy as she did so and trying her hardest to just blend in and make sure Lucy didn't notice her.

"I don't want you to either. That would hurt my face and Brody wouldn't like it." Not at all. And he wanted her to be happy. So he had to make sure not to get hurt.

He swung higher in the air, trying to beat her. It was fun. "I had a cold. Which totally sucks. I don't get sick often." And he didn't even have Tammy to look after him now. So sad. He was sad. He wanted Tammy so much.

"So you changed your hair."

Lucy was trying to swing higher than Torin when she noticed TrainGirl pass by her--Eyeroll.

She brought her eyes back to Torin, who was evidently beating her. She treid to swing higher, but apparently he was the swing champion. "Brody? So you're with her again?" She said with a smile. She remembered a little from when she had first met Torin--but maybe it was Fyo who had told her about Brody? Eh, she couldn't remember.
"Aw that's too bad. I hate getting sick," She said with frown. As for the hair, she grinned again. "Yep, I did. I see you haven't changed at all," She said with a laugh. Same old lovable Torin. <3

Tucking the hand made treasure back in her pocket she sat demurely touching the chains of the swing delicately as she neatly crossed her ankles and planted her feet on the ground as ladylike as you please. "Alright, I am sitting. Now what?" She sounded impatient, though she was just nervous to be sitting on this foreign object. It didn't feel sturdy enough to hold a puffkin let alone her weight.
She brushed a stray hair from her eyes as she gazed at Zachary expectantly. "You do promise this will be fun for me as well? I would hate to think this is all just a practical joke." Her eyes betrayed her nervousness as she stared at the young man in the too large hat.

With his hat on the ground behind him, Zachs' cottontailed rabbit watched from the brim, whiskers twitching in anticipation. "Now..I'm going to give you a push, so when you're going forward you want to move your legs forward. Blah blah blah, momentum and fulcrums, blah blah blah. We can do this, I hope." Hiding behind a smile, Zachary rolled up his sleeves and took hold of the chains.

"Just hang tight, and we'll have you swingin' in no time." Pulling her back by the chains on the swing, the American boy swallowed a lump in his throat before letting go. Now it was all up to forward momentum. This could actually turn out to be fun.

hehe. There was no way that she could beat him and they all knew it. He was just awesome. But her asking about Brody made him raise his brow. "You know about her? I didn't think I told you." Maybe he had. But really all he could remember talking to her about was Rafe.

He nodded. "Yeah, being sick sucks. And Tammy isn't here to look after me anymore." Suckish. He wanted to go home and see her. "Yeah, but my hair isn't as short as it was." Though still not long. Because then he would look stupid.

Lucy looked at him with grin, slightly annoyed that she couldn't beat him--her competive nature was getting to her. "I think you told me about her when we met...but I'm sure. Fyo could have mentioned her as well," Lucy said as she stopped swinging so high because he had clearly beaten her. "But anyway, so what made you guys want to get back together again?" She asked. His life was so complicated but funny, so she loved hearing about it.

"Tammy...your best friend?" She asked. Again, she had never met Tammy, but had heard about her from others. But then he mentioned his hair, which was apparently shorter. Lucy looked at it, not really noticing any difference in the length--how could he expect her to tell the difference?? Guy hair always looked the same to her--unless you were Ty, who's hair was kinda longish. "Oh, yeahhhh," She said slowly, trying to be nice about it, but still not seeing anything different.

Marilyn walked the grounds in somewhat of a daze. The past couple of months had been rough...with all the plotting and secrecy involving her brother, Jasper, the blonde Slytherin second year felt she had no time for anything other than “The Plan”...Well, that was only partially true.

She was scared to be around…scared to see Carter and Rafe. Her father was having her watched. What was she suppose to do? Was she suppose to be with Carter and not worry about her father’s threats…or was she suppose to stay as far away from him as humanly possible? Marilyn would never forgive herself if anything happened to her loving muggleborn boyfriend.

I‘m despicable…Really…

She neared what looked like a playground and smiled. Hogwarts had a playground? How…muggle-friendly.

Carter made his way toward the playground bouncing his beloved football/soccer ball on his knees. Mina had said she wanted to learn how to play sometime. He made a mental note to find her. He bounced the ball on his head a few times before noticing a beautiful blonde girl.

"Marilyn!!" he exclaimed forgetting all about the ball. (That is, until it came down and hit his head.)

He grabbed his ball and rushed over to his long lost girlfriend.

"Where have you been?" he said in a quiet voice giving her a hug. He looked both ways to see if they were alone. "I've been so worried. I thought something happened."

Marilyn frowned at Carter, not sure what all she should really tell him. Was someone watching her even now? A sick feeling was settling in her stomach…What was she to do?

”Hey you…” Her tone was weak as she pathetically returned his hug. She couldn’t deny that she was immediately comforted by his smell and protective arms. Marilyn had missed him. ”I‘ve been very busy…with that stuff I talked with you about in Diagon Alley over the summer…” Saying it was not an option. Too many eavesdroppers.

”How‘ve you been, mister?”

Carter was a little taken aback by her unenthusiastic greeting. When she mentioned the summer, he figured that was the reason.

"So... is.. erm... that going well?" he said not sure if she'd be willing to tell him anything. He needed to find somewhere they could be alone and talk. Speaking of which, wasn't there a 'secret room' or something like that? That would work.

"Me?" he asked nervously running a hand through his hair. "I got a detention..."

Marilyn watched her boyfriend carefully, her expression giving nothing away. She'd tell him the detailed version later. "It's going as well as can be expected...Phase 2, as we speak..."

She listened to Carter talk with rapid attention. She'd missed his voice, as well. When she heard the word Detention, her eyes got big.

"You got a detention?" She smiled at him then, amused that perhaps Carter had somehow developed a mischievous streak. "What did you do exactly?" she asked, smirking.

Carter nodded hoping to get a full account on the situation later. They'd have to find somewhere were they could talk.

He laughed a bit. "I got caught flying over the lake." he said. So, really, it wasn't the worst thing to get in trouble over. But it had caused some problem. Mina had gone a whole few weeks without even talking to him. And he had nearly missed try-outs completely. "I had to clean vomit slugs. I smelled pretty bad for awhile. So maybe I should be lucky you were busy for awhile."

Marilyn's eyes got huge as she began laughing softly. I hate that I missed that. I bet it was hilarious...

So, he's been spending time with Mina? Marilyn shouldn't have been surprised. After all, she hadn't been around...and her boyfriend wasn't ugly. Not by a long shot. Something already told the blonde that certain girls had been getting ideas since she hadn't been in the picture. Stupid females. How desperate were they?

"I'm just glad it wasn't something more severe. I worry about you, Gryffindor." Her smile was forced as she thought about Mina...and Ella. She tried not to feel jealous...but she just couldn't help herself.
