Fia almost had to keep a running pace to stay in step with Mr. Masterson. She turned back to Arya and waved. "He will be fine," she only hoped. Hearing Torin reassure her was better than her own words she just told to Arya. "Thanks." He had to be okay and well, she didn't know much about Ashford but she was about to find out. But this wasn't the way she wanted to speak to Healer Ashford, but now she would have the chance.

Stopping, when a girl sat next to his swing, Blake squinted his eyes and stared at her for a minute. Where did he see her? She looked familiar. Trying to recall his memory, Blake nonchalantly kicked sand around. "NATASHA!" He sort of yelled but blushed heavily the next instant. It's not a good idea to yell someone's name, you know. "I'm Blake, remember? We met at the common room when I had a sore throat and couldn't speak?" Now he could babble as much he wanted. Poor Natasha.

He too glanced around when a boy fainted. Pity. "He'll be okay! Injuries are fun and exciting. I can't count on my fingers the many times I've tumbled to the ground and bruised myself." He chuckled lightly and took off his shoes. Slipping his toes in the warm sand, he grinned. Sand is love.

Her eyes widened when her name was kind of yelled. She probably would've jumped in surprise if she hadn't been on a swing. Then he said he was Blake, and she remembered. "Ohh, that's right, I remember now." She giggled. Yes, he was familiar now.

"Yeah, you're right, I suppose." Natasha said, looking back at Blake and smiling. That boy would be okay, right? He was being taken to the hospital wing, she presumed. He'd be okay. Injuries are fun and exciting? That sounds sort of... Masochistic." She chuckled lightly.

Fia's words comforted her some but not much as she could see the worry on her face. She decided against going with them to the the hospital ward since she didn't really know the boy, but would ask Fia about it latter. She walked back to Allie, still worried about the boy, and sat next to her in the sand.

Allison stared at Arya for what seemed like hours in her head. Had her friend not heard her? She had done the stupidest thing in her life. She. Signed-up. For. Quidditch. Try-outs. Hellllllllo? Was anyone in Arya's head?!

Looking at Arya with worry, thinking that the playground had gotten to her Allison waved her hand in front of Arya's face, "Arya...you okay? Did you hear me? I am going to try-out for Quidditch."

Before Arya could answer she heard her very own prefect fall. Oh great. Just great. An injury when she was talking about Quidditch. It was a sign!

Sweat broke out on Allison's forehead as she saw the professor carry the student away. She felt bad for Fia, seeing as the boy and she...looked like more than friends. Thinking that Arya herself said she was a gymnast, Allison gulped. She wouldn't have the stomach or the nerve to watch Arya get injured.

Little did Allison know that in the worst situations she'd be the best to handle things carefully and with a level-head. However her life had been too comfortable, and she had never had to worry about anything. This term would change everything for her.

"Sorry Allie I got a little distracted..." That was an understatment. With Fia's friend passing out and the fliping boy, she had forgotten her friend and felt terrible. She moved closer to Allie and sat so that she was in front of her. She could tell Allie was worried too, but she wasn't sure if it was about the boy or trying out for quidditch."I heard you Allie and I think it great. I didn't know that you played quidditch. Which postion are you goin for? When are tryouts?"Even through all the caos she didn't forget this, Allie had told her earlier she didn't play sports. Her warm brown eyes looked patiently at Allie, refusing to leave her again until Allie was ready to leave.

Helena was on her normal turn-of-the-school-year walk about the grounds when she spied something quite out of the ordinary. Frowning slightly, she walked over to investigate and found.... a playground? Honestly?? What in the world was that all about? She looked aorund a bit more and saw Blake on the swings talking to a girl; she smirked. Duh! Of course she would find him there, right? She grinned and headed to another section of the swings and began propelling herself back and forth through the air gently.

"Of course, you do. I'm quite unforgettable." He said rolling his eyes in a friendly manner then smiled.

Masochictic? NOOO! He wanted to run away forever. That word sounded like a disorder! Merlin, he's going to die for sure. Blake's burrow knotted and he glanced at Natasha, "What's a Masochistic? Ummm, it's not a disease, riight?" Gulp. Gosh, what a bad year! He's being diagnosed with a new disease everyday. First, the skin disease and now Masochistic. Sayy whaat?

While still sitting on the swing, Blake bent down and folded his jeans up to his knees and glanced around as he trifled with his sleeves. Natasha was scaring him, he needed distraction. Monkeybars, perhaps? But then, his eyes twinkled as he watched a certain brunette sneaking around the playground and finally, sitting on a swing. Smirking, he dropped down from his swing and crawled over to her. Snaking his arms around her neck from behind, Blake placed a kiss on her cheek and rested his chin on her shoulder, "Missed me?" He asked with a slight brow raise and amusement evident in his tones.

Xander happily skipped out of the castle and onto the grounds. It was a LOVELY day, and he couldn't decide exactly what he wanted to do. GAH SO MANY CHOICESSSS.

But... there was no pumpkin patch! That was like, the most epic and best thing ever! Other than the bamboo forest, which he missed as well. But but but... Sad face. No pumpkin patch? Oh, the memories and how they'd be gooooone!

Time to make new ones.

But behold - this new attraction caught his eye. The fourteen year old's eyes widened as it came into view. Was that - a ground? With... swings.... and, and MONKEY BARS?! Oh the JOYOUS times to come in this place instead of the pumpkins! EEEEE!!!!!!!

Xander ran to the monkey bars and jumped up, grabbing a hold of one and swinging himself back and forth like an actual monkey. OH YAY.

And yet again Torin felt the pull of the jungle gym. How could he resist the monkey bars?

He rusheed over to the monky bars and saw that Xanderman was there too. "You're not the only one here that can swing like a monkey."

And to prove his point, he climbed on the monkey bars and did just that.

Funnn.

SURPRIIIIIIISE!!!!!11!!!1!

Had Xander not been so awesome, he would have instantly let go of the monkey bars at the random appearance of a person who scared the flip right out of his hair (not really). He made a noise that he transformed into monkey sounds at the sight of one of his MOST AWESOME AND NEWLY APPOINTED PREFECT FRIENDS, Torin.

His ownnn Superman. OH YEAH.

"You can swiiiing like one," he said. "But can you pick up objects with your feet?"

Okay, so how come no one ever told Lucy that Hogwarts apparently had a JUNGLE GYM??? She would have totally been the first one here, playing like a little kid. But now it was full of people, and so Lucy looked for at least an empty swing. She found one near the edge of the playground and took a seat. She didn't swing too high and hummed under her breath.

Even from a distance, Lavi had noticed the Jungle Gym & Playground. His face beamed with joy and he started to run towards the playground like a 8 year old chasing a ice-cream truck.

Coming to a halt by the playground, Lavi noticed that there were some people already playing on the objects, but that didn't matter. He took off his Slytherin robe that was slightly to big for him and dropped it on the grass. He then walked swiftly towards the monkey bars and climbed like a ninja on it. When he was at the top he toppled over and hang with his legs on the bars, upside down. Weeeee! yay for "blood" redheads! literally.

While hanging upside down, Lavi looked at the world from this perspective and saw a girl swinging on a swing. She looked like she wasn't with anyone and Lavi wanted to meet new people soooo that was his chance. Moving his legs, Lavi tried to " walk " towards the girl but had forgotten he was on a monkey bar, upside down. The sudden movement made him loose his balance and he fell off the bar. He landed on his back but luckily was unhurt. He quickly stood up and dusted his clothes off, whistling but with a red face of embarracement.

Quickly walking away from the bars and towards the swings, Lavi took a seat on the swing next to the girl , hoping she hadn't seen...that!. " Eh, hi!" he said looking to his side. " I'm Lavi" yup he wasn't much of a conversation starter.

Lucy was about to start singing outloud when she noticed a little kid--wait, no, he went to school here--came running down to the playground and hopped on the monkeybars. She giggled to herself as he lost his balance and then came running up to her, sitting on the swing beside her.

"Hey there!" She said to him, thinking that he was definitely a first year or something. "Ohhh, that's a cute name! I'm Lucy. Say, what year are you in, Lavi?" She asked him, wanting to pinch his cheek SO badly.

Helena had been dragging her feet in the sand beneath her so that she was barely swinging through the air anymore. After barely a minute of this, she felt arms around her neck and a kiss on her cheek, but before she could react, Lena heard Blake's voice in her ear and she smiled as she turned to face him, resting on her shoulder. You bet I did, she said with a small smile as she, too, kissed him lightly on the cheek. Sorry for wimping out on you on the train, she added with a small chuckle, gently holding his hands around her neck as she leaned her head lightly against them.

Lavi smiled and pushed his legs so that the swing started to swing back and forward slowly. His cheeks started to grow red again but this time from what the girl had said. No one had ever told him he had a cute name! " Nice to meet you Lucy!" he beamed deciding to forget about the name thing. " Oh and i'm a ...." Lavi stopped his sentence and frowned slightly. He was 14 so that meant he was a 4th year right? People at Hogwarts came to school when they turned 11? He guessed he was right and his frown vanished. " Fourth year!" yay. " What about you?"

WOW.WOW.WOW.WOW.Just WOW.

They had a Jungle Gym and PLAYGROUND NOW ?! This school just got like better and better each year. Although it kinda sucked cause Shana didn't like spinning, heights or being upside down so that crossed Jungle gym, swings, Monkey bars, round abouts and most other things of her list of "fun". She sighed sitting on the grass before picking some grass and begining to make a daisy chain well it was more of a gras chain.

Lucy giggled again as he seemed geniunely happy about the name thing. But then he told her he was a fourth year, and Lucy stopped swinging for a second as she tried to collect herself. What?!

"You're a--Really?" She said, looking at him in a new light. But then she decided to change track because she didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him that she thought he was a firstie. She smiled at him again and resumed swinging. "I mean, of course you are! You're only a year younger than me, then." Aww, he was so adorable!

"Awwww! I missed you too." Blake blushed a smidge when she kissed his cheek back. Don't know whyyyy.

Reviewing the past week, Blake had barely talked to her and this was saddening. What kind of Best Friends are they? "It's okay. You were lucky that you left. I went all bonkers and umm did pretty crazy stuff." He still laughed on thinking about the mess! Guh! It's was fun, nonetheless.

Eyeing the sand, he spoke, "Lets sit on the sand. Hmm?" Smiling, he slightly stroked her brown hair but quickly retracted his fingers as if it burned. "The camp ended up being a disaster! Isn't it? I was sooo bored, I could have died." Chuckling, he shifted towards the sand and slipped his fingers in the sand. Warmnesssss.

Being totally oblivious to the fact that Lucy was looking at him with a stunned disbelief look on her face. He hadn't even noticed the swing stop and her stutter all because he was looking in front of him and swinged on the swing. He smiled too when he looked to the girl , thinking she was being nice to him and he nodded his head. " So your a fifth year? Have you been at Hogwarts since..eleven is the year to start here right?..."

He shoved his hand in his robe pocket to grab a candy but then remembered his robe was laying on the ground on the other side of the playground. He panicked , thinking his robe would be stolen and he jumped off the swing, running towards his robe without saying anything to Lucy and quickly picked it off the grass. Yaaay! He turned around to face the girl at the other side of the playground and held his robe high in the air. " I GOTS IT!" he shouted happily and jogged back to her to sit on the swing again. As if NOTHING had happened, he continued their coversation. " So, what House are you in?"

Helena didn't miss that blush. In fact, it made her smile widen a bit significantly. You'd pretty much reached bonkers by the time I left, she said with a light laugh. She then shrugged at his suggestion and slid into the sand behind her just as he gently stroked her hair - she didn't miss that either, though she noticed him retracting his fingers quickly. Yeah. I wouldn't have minded if we weren't sleeping in tents, she agreed with a slightly disgusted face.

Lena watched him dig his hand into the sand with a bit of a curious smile, but it wasn't long before she pulled his arm up out of the golden-y warmth and put it gently around her shoulders as she leaned into his chest and sighed very slightly, shutting her bright blue eyes.

Satine rounded the corner and spotted it...the jungle gym...the playground...the greatest thing she had ever seen at Hogwarts. Instantly her inner child screamed loudly and she broke into a full out sprint towards the Merry-Go-Round.

O the Merry-Go-Round...no not the kind with horses...don't be crazy...this was the greatest piece of equipment ever created for a playground...

She grabbed onto the handle bars and started running in circles trying to get it spinning as fast as she could. As soon as it was spinning fast enough to shoot off into outerspace she jumped onto it. First she acted like she was surfing but she quickly became too dizzy and just laid down holding on for dear life as it spun in circles defying gravity.

She tried glancing around to see if anyone wanted to help her defy gravity on the next go around.

"I had no issues with anyone or anything at the camp but mosquitoes. They couldn't resist me, hehe." It appeared as the mosquitoes liked biting him the most. Wonder whyyy? Delicious blood, I say.

Blake glanced at Helena, shock taking over his features. He couldn't utter a word when she leaned into his chest. Smiling, he couldn't stop the urge to touch her hair. Gently running his finger through her locks, he muttered, "I love you..." He didn't think or care for a second before saying those words. He loves her and that was more than enough for him though he didn't demand the love back.. "Don't you leave me ever.." Sighing, he kissed her head and smiled to himself. No Chris to disturb their peace. Perfect.

Lucy could tell that he didn't notice her surprise, and she was glad. She nodded her head when he asked her if she was a fifth year.
"Yup, I'm a fifth year. And yes, you start at 11, Lavi," She said with another giggle. "And I've been here since I was 11."

She watched him as he started looking for something in his pockets and then ran away to grab some cloth--oh, it was his robe. And then he shouted in the air. Lucy grinned; this kid was adorable and she wanted to adopt him.
"I'm in Gryffindor. And I bet you are in Hufflepuff, right?" She said, not even noticing that there was a serpent on his school robes. He HAD to be in Hufflepuff, he was too cute and nice.

Lavi grinned when the girl bet that he was a Hufflepuff. Yea he had heard that alot of times even though he was only just sorted. He didn't say anything but instead he got off the swing yet again and turned around, his back facing the girl. He shoved his arms in the robe sleeves and pulled it on. Lavi turned around with a flourish and he spread his arms , the grin still on his face. " Tadaaa!" he said and his fingers moved to the Snake on his badge. " You hadn't expected that huh?!" he giggled and sat on the swing again. "The sorting hat seriously concidered in placing me in to Hufflepuff ..but i guess he saw some traits that i even myself have to find and placed me in Slytherin. I like the house though, it's cool and people are actually nicer than i thought...."
Oh right! He had just remembered the reason why he had panicked and ran to pick up his robe. He shoved his hand in his robe pocket again and grabbed out a lollypop. Two in fact. " You want one?" he asked while placing one in his mouth and moved the lollypop in front of the girl's face, like a parent feeding their baby makig vrrooom vrooom noices.
