Arabella-Marie shook her head and said "Okay i probably won't need any help anyway" Arabella-Marie got up and made her way towards the whomping willow she was feeling rather brave now but was still wasnt wanting to do this alone but she had to live up to her house name

Hmm, well, the girl actually was walking to the tree. Glancing around, having the crazy feeling that a professor was just suddenly going to walk over and see what was going on...and totally RUIN her fun...Evelyn sighed and looked back to Kingston.

Meh, she should probably do the right thing and stop her. She wasn't all that close to the tree yet. Or, no...she was getting closer. And closer, and closer... "Hey!" she called out, hurriedly standing up and glancing around once more. Dude, she needed to stop being so paranoid. "I got a better idea. Let's go check out the goblet thing that the people are putting their names in for the tournament."

She couldn't get detention for life that way.

Arabella-Marie nodded and said "Okay that sounds a better idea and i have no idea what to call you" Arabella-Marie was a gryffindor but she was sensible to choose her own enemies or friends and she didnt really want any enemies

ECK. Big scary TREE. The stupid tree was SCARING Eliza. A lot. It was so big and freaky! And it was moving, it was strange! Eliza was scared of it... but she somehow wanted to go up and touch it at the same time. Eck. That was a bad ideaaa, she was pretty sure. It would KILL her or something.

:blink:

Mmhmm, it was official. This Gryffindork was alright she supposed. And would now be called Gryffindor. Yush.

Smiling at the oblivious girl's level up in Evelyn's book of who not to hang around and being switched to the people to hang around, the Slytherin walked over and linked an arm with the young girl. Kingston should feel privileged! Evelyn never let anyone get into her personal space unless they were good enough to. "I'm Evelyn. So, only call me Evelyn. Nothing else." she said, starting to tug the girl along towards the castle.

Besides, it was now official that she was the only one that could mess with Kingston too. Mwahaha! Tough luck to the girl that just came to the tree. Whether she was going to hurt herself by getting to close, or have a spazz attack, Evelyn didn't care. She was leeaaving!

ooc: to the age line thread thing? lol

sure go ahead and post
 

Arabella-Marie and said "Okay Evelyn"

Jermaine had heard this school had a tree that was ALIVE. This he had to see for himself. So here he was, out wandering the grounds looking for this tree,

After what semed like... not very long at all he found a willow tree,

HMM...

Could this be the tree? Walking closer to it he found out rather quickly that this was indead THE tree that is alive as a branch came out of no where and swung at his head. Thankfully he was quick on his feet and was able to jump back out of the way just before he got slapped.

Hmm...

This tree could be useful...

Monique was once again exploring anything and everything. This time her journeys brought her to a large willow tree. She spotted Jermaine a little ways ahead of her heading toward the tree. Out of NOWHERE the tree made a swipe toward his head.

Laughing and clapping she closed the distance between them. "Very good Jermaine." she teased. "Perhaps next time you'll make it past a real obstacle."

Rae wanted the outdoors, the fresh air, she got to the Whomping Willow where she was flooded with memories. She sat down in the grass in the same place she did last time. This was depressing, depressing and pathetic. Until she looked up at what seemed to be one of the foreigners taking a chance with the tree. Did he not know any better? Maybe the term Whomping Willow didn't strike him as something dangerous. Though anyways, she smiled. "You won't make it through the year that way." Not that close to the tree anyways. He certainly wouldn't make it in the tournament with a broken face. That was... IF this bloke became champion. She also saw a girl, also appeared to be a foreigner. Why would they get so close?

Katie walked to the Whomping willow, wasnt that much impressive, it just looks like a tr- "AHH" Katie screamed a she got out of the way of one of the branches "It tried to squash me like a bug" Katie said as she turned around and pointed at the tree, she wasnt really addressing it to anyone but any way.

Jermaine spun around when he heard his name... along with laughing and clapping. "Monique mon amour. Glad I can still bring a smile to your face," he said as he gave her a hug and a kiss on both cheeks.

"Watch out for that tree, it seems to be attracted to me. I would hate for it to get you." He said winking a her.

"Oh you know I can make it past a real obstacle," he said teasing her back. After all he had dated her HOW many times now?

Hearing another female voice Jermaine looked away... reluctantly from Monique only to see someone with black and... purple hair standing there. "Oh fear not mademoiselle, I zink I can handle a little tree... and anyzing else zat comes my way." Oh yeah, he was just that confident.

"I am sorry, I did not catch your name Miss..." he said with his sexy french accent.

Brittany walked up just as the tree tried to attck katie. she giggle but only because it hadnt harmed her. "Katie you really should watch out that trees dangeorus." she said with a smile. yeaaaa it was a little to late for the arning but she still gave it. "So how have you been.?" she asked staying a safe distance away from the gigantic tree. even though she could have sworn she seen it trying to get to her

Katie giggled "Im Fine, well, if it hits me I wont, How about you?" Katie asked back, that tree was dangerous, yet Katie could sense it was the nicest tree at Hogwarts, even if it was the one that moved.

"hello i'm august granger" she said sweetly you must be katie i've heard enya talk about she said with a smile.bradin is my cousin she said with a smile.

"Im great." she added. It was easy talking to katie so she was already having a good time. "Hogwarts is amazing and i cant believe my first year here they're having the triwizard competition." she said excitedly

ooc: Okay Im going to work but i will reply went i get back :glomp:

"Hello, Yes I am Katie Star, Im Enya's Bestie" Katie said with a smile on her face, Enya was talking about her? Wow, That was sweet of her.
"How are you?" Katie asks August.

"I know, what a coincidence!" Katie said with a smile on her face, she hopes that when shes in her 7th year this will happen because she wants to enter.

i'm enya best friend from ravenclaw she said with smile.I"m bradin cousin also she said with a smile.so your in the snake house she said.i'm a raven she said with a smile.don;t i just love to smile she thought.

"Kinda guessed that" Katie said with a smile on her face.

A little tree? Did his eyes work? The tree had always been huge! It seemed that every foreigner she had met so far was overly confident with everything. The last one was too confident with girls, he thought he could get anyone, of course, anyone but Rae. This one, thinks he can take on the Whomping Willow. She was almost waiting for a tree branch to come back around to whack him, just so he understood. Yet, she would never wish that on someone, except her mother so she banished the thought away. Rae's black and purple wavy hair, slightly messy as usual, though it still gracefully flowed down her neck and shoulders. "My name's Rae, and yours is?" She wondered if everyone that went to Beaubaxtons or Durmstrang had an accent. They all seemed to have one... Weird.

"Oh please Jermaine, don't flater yourself." Monique said with a teasing smile. She then returned the hug and the kiss to both cheeks.

"Oh, do not worry. I tend to keep my distance when it comes to things that are attracted to you." she said.

She raised an eyebrow. "I have no idea what you mean by that." she said.

And it looked like she'd never know. A younger girl came up and approached them. She rolled her eyes at Jermaine's silly flirtations. How she fell for that many times she'd never know.

Salander made his way down the castle grounds. Like Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, he has heard about this special tree all the way back from his old schools in America. The stories were so impressive (which may or may not all be true) that he just had to see for it himself.

And there it was-- The Whomping Willow, a twisty, knobby, scraggly thing. Yeah it was every bit as ugly as they said a tree could get. And it wasnt doing anything, which dragged the awesomeness factor down several notches.

Until he saw it take aim at a Slytherin boy.

Awesomeness factor bumps up a little. Salander grins as he crosses his arms across his chest. Looks like he was just in time for the show.

"Very nice to meet you Rae. I am Jermaine... he said as he took her hand and kissed it. ...and zis lovely lady here is Monique," he said nodding his head towards the beauty standing next to him.

"Does zis tree try to attack everyone zat walks up to it or just zose zat are guests here?" he asked looking at the tree then back to Rae. He probably should try and find out if there were any other crazy things he needed to watch out for on these grounds.

Pfft, Jermaine flatter himself... never. What he said was not flattery, it was truth. Well in his mind it was. After all, Monique WAS always smiling when she was around him. "Oh come now, you know I can get you to smile, no matter how mad you may get at me." Which could be pretty mad at times.

Jermaine laughed at her distance comment. He'd like to see her keep her distance from herself. "Not from everything you don't." he said with a smile of his own. Haha, she had no idea what he was talking about. Well maybe he would have to show her later, when they were alone.

"I cant wait to go to the tasks. I wonder who our champion is going to be?" Brittany said secretly hoping it was a hufflepuff

Ella strolled around the grounds for the first time that year, coming around to the willow because the lake seemed pretty crowded. The year had begun wonderfully. She sat down on the branch of a tree that wasn't even close to the willow, and leaned back and adored the scenery, absorbed it thought.
