Selena gave a sheepish smile. "I uh... can't set up a tent?" she offered. Psh. She had never touched a tent before in her entire life. And she had never set one up before. Decorating she could do. Putting the whole thing together? She could not.

She overheard Sel's problem and pointed her wand at her tent.
"Erectus." she said proudly and her tent made itself.
"There you go, Sel!" she said happily. She loved doing that!

Jose? Hmmm, she liked it, it was a nickname within a nickname....weird, but cool. She smiled and walked into the Saph's tent. It was REALLY big, and really cool. "I like your tent," she said. She smiled and went to sit down on a chair. "Want a truffle?" Josey reached into her pockets and pulled out a small bag that she always carried with her, whenever she went back to her dorm she refilled it with truffes. Currently there were five of them in there. She took two out and offered one to Saph, she popped the other in her mouth.

Gosh this was hard. The outside of the tent was perfect but she was stumped on decorating the inside. "stupid muggle wolrd taught me nothing." she mumble to her self " she wondered if they could run up wo the castle and get some supplies... Nahh that would never happen it was to easy. Ahhh but she had read about a spell that you could call things and they would come. But seeing how she had never practiced it and she was only a first year she didnt know if it would work or not.

Em shook her head and frowned. "I have no idea! I really dont know any spells yet. Maybe we can find somone to Help us out." She said as she looked around.

Rhea nodded and looked at her cousin with a smug expression on her face. Ok so she was totally not going to make the outside look like a cabin but she did think about it after Lauren did it and that count too right?
"Why thank you cousin. I must say green suits you too." She laughed and looked at the tent as well.
"I don't mind tweaking. I didn't spend a lot of time on the inside anyways."

"I see that's been remedied," Di said, her lips tugging up into a light smile as another student joined Miss Della.

Di gave the boy a nod, before she moved on to inspect the next tent. S'mores, they were going to have.

"Well i read about this spell called accio and it summons your belongings or what ever you called for." Brittany began But I doubt i could pull it off she said sadly "and besides im pretty sure the professor will notice things flying over her head." she said grinning

Aw right. Tents had those things on them. Blanket things.

Glancing around, she spotted a nice green plastic looking thing and went over to go retrieve that. Hehe, this was a nice green.

Actually no, it was darn ugly, but it was the only Slytherin-ish looking thing here. She wasn't going to use the rainbow looking one, or the other one that she couldn't even describe at the moment. Green was good! Dragging the giant thing back over, Evelyn huffed and let it drop to the floor. "There, is that good?"

How were they...going to stick that thing on the poles?!

Listening to Lina's story Simon couldn't help feeling a little sorry about her situation. To have such a spell or more correctly curse cast on yourself was horrible. "That stinks," he remarked making a face before relaxing it as she told some good news. "At least thats some good news," he added smiling a little in response.

"yeah," Emmaleigh said with a frown. "So what do we do now?" she asked her friend. "Besides being able to paint the inside, I don't know of anything I can do." Gahh, if it wasn't for Brit's help, Emmaleigh knew she would be in tears right now.

grabbing his backpack "Britt,Em relax i got it covered pulling out 4 large Dow sleeping bags "it a magic bag i got loads of stuff and it looks like we going to have SMORES tonight"

Brittany turned to Mike. "Mikey me and em need some help decorating the inside of our tent. We dont know what to do.' she said sighing

Brittany turned to mike and almost jumped him. He was her life saver. "Ah Mikey your the best.' She said grinning at him

"Indeed we must." With this he placed his hands on his hips and gave a decisive nod. "Which means you, Miss. Lovegoods, must come down out of that there tree. I'm sure between the two of us we can get it painted quickly. Or..." His eyes glanced over to his tent which was a nice collection of poles and unset fabric. It could wait. "Well lets just get on it." With that he started laying the tarp out on the ground, hurrying back to retrieve paint. His last stop was the bottom of the tree, where he waited for Arya so he could help her down the last few steps.

"oh my goodness, Thanks SO much!" Em said as she gave her friend a giant hug. "I was at my wit's end." she admitted.

Destiny might have laughed a little as she watched Evelyn drag the..not so blankety looking thing over to her. The thing was UGLY, and she had no idea why her friend picked that particular one. Most likely it had something to do with Slytherin, but it was U.G.L.Y! Hopefully they wouldn't have to look at it while they were in it.

"I suppose so. I mean, you already dragged it over." But it would have been funny to tell Evelyn it was not good, and have her drag it back to the other side.

Staring at the thing, and having no idea what to do next, Destiny shrugged before walking off to go get some poles. Ten would be enough, right? And if she had too many, she would just use the extras to clobber Hufflepuffs bears. Bears were always around when people were camping. Coming back, with the poles piled in her arms, she dropped down to her knees and placed the poles on the ground next to her. "I think we just stick them in the dirt. Like this." she said, picking a pole up, and shoving it in the dirt.

So far, so good.

Quietly observing the students for a bit, it took Josephina a good few moments before she realized there were people conversing with her. Two, actually. Whoops.

Josephina turned as she heard someone greet her. Oh it was just the new Gryffindor Prefect. "Evening to you as well, Prefect Caddock" she replied politely, hoping that the redhead wouldn't think she was supposed to be here. Honestly, she'd just been dropping by for an evening stroll.


Noticing her colleague take note of her shoes, Fina glanced down at them too. Oh. Heels. Sinking into the soft ground again. Shame because she'd only worn them twice before. Without even another thought in mind, she slipped off her heels and held them casually in one hand.

Best to go barefoot than ruin a good pair of heels.

"Okay, I suppose I could stay and help for a bit. I do need to get back up to my office and finish my own lesson plans, but just a bit of camping never hurt anything," she nodded at Davina. First things first... what to do with the shoes? "Any place you recommend me stashing these while I'm here?" Fina asked, indicating to the shoes.

"I'm comin, can't let you do all the fun stuff." She grinned as she climbed down the tree. They only had half an hour to paint the tarp and to put up his tent. Not to mention the fact that her own tent wasn't finished being assembled. Her teammates would finish that, right now she had other things to worry about. Like how to get out of the tree with Sabel standing at the bottom. "I can't jump down with you standing there." The girl sat on the lowest of the branches, legs swinging and ready to jump.

Selena gave a smile to Sapphinelle. "Thanks," she said before adding stuff inside. Like cushions and... Maybe a beanbag. Hehehe. Selena then goy t to work on the outside. Green of course.

A tilt of his head to the side and a grin on his face, he held out his arms in front of himself. "Why not? I'll catch you." A wider, but reassuring grin. "Or do you think I'd let you fall?"

He tuned her out and got his own half of the frame put together with very little fuss, then put it gently on the ground while he unrolled the canvas.

Jimmy glanced up and gave her a grin. "I knew you could do it." Not just a pretty face.

He took charge putting the two halves of the frame together and then levitated the canvas on it.

"Grab the pins, Neptune? Please?" He gestured behind her where the pins were spread out. "You can hold them in place and I'll knock em in."

Professor Hadley had taken off her heels. The wise thing to do, of course. "Of course not," Di agreed. Bit of camping never hurt anything, yes... anyone of course, might be a different matter altogether.

"There's a shoe-rack here." Davina glanced at the shoe-rack that she had set down, earlier. Mostly full of flats, so the students could grab a pair if needed. "Should ensure that your heels stay safe. They are..." Pause. Pretty? Such an informal word. "Quite nice, Pro - Josephina."

Lauren nods and goes inside, after a couple seconds her head pops out "Oh yeah, we're gonna need to decorate. Anything in mind?" She opened the tent flap allowing Rhea to enter. So far the only thing done to the inside was an space enlargement charm that made the inside of the tent larger so they could have their own space, and even a shared area if they wanted. "I want us to do a little sitting area over there, maybe make a little cot or something, we could make a window, Plastic of course, zipped so we can have more ventilation." She yapped on about the different changes they could make and moved around the space trying different charms changing colours and conjouring items. "How long are we staying out here?" She stopped mid stride on the now fully carpeted floors.

It better be good. Evelyn was NOT going to be seen dragging it back again!

Crossing her arms as she waited for Destiny to come back with the poles, the Slytherin took the chance too look around at what everyone else was doing. There were some, pretty elaborate looking tents around. The one Patroclus was making....WOAH! She so wanted to make a tent that looked like. SOOOOOO wanted to.

Once Destiny came back with the poles however, she knew that theirs were going to be smaller. Oh well, it would still be awesome. "That's what i said to do in the first place..." she muttered quietly, picking up a pole and sticking it randomly in the ground.

....

It didn't go in. PFFFT! "Stupid ground." Shove! Jab! CRACK! Oops. Stick in the way. GET INTO THE GROUND! Dangit!

"So how does these things work?" Brittany asked with an eyebrow raised
