| | |  The Animal Collective
 On the other side of Professor Maya's cottage lies a large grassy area, surrounded by a 4 feet tall wooden fence. Here, approximately* 20 different animals, that can be found in a muggle farm, roam free in the enclosure. Even if the creatures are not your regular magical beings, it doesn't mean they are not special. So please, treat them with care.
Go ahead, step inside through the little doorway.
Spend some time with the goats and pigs. Why not give Nelson – the gentle Belted Galloway calf – a treat? Be careful of our small furry friends, the rabbits, and make sure you say hello to the cotton-soft sheep. Help feed the chickens and roosters and pay attention to the ducks – they are ever so cute.
☛ You will find everything you need to help take care of the animals in the little shed, right outside the enclosure. In there you'll find rakes and shovels to help keep the area clean, and also clean rags and buckets for various uses. The shed is stocked with food for the animals, Maya makes sure it's fresh – it's important you give them the right designated food, and nothing else or they can get sick. See the food list pinned onto the wall. Feeders are already placed out in the enclosure, and keep the different kinds of hay for the beasties to eat, so that's taken care of.
When you decide to say farewell for the day, make sure there's no litter lying around. Maya can probably wave her wand and trace the trash back to you. [insert evil smile here.] Plus, if the creatures accidentally eat your litter... No need to explain, right?

If you see anything you cannot handle, go and get Professor Saylen. If you do anything you didn't mean to do, and it all goes wrong, go and get Professor Saylen. If you do something by mistake and don't get Maya - she will get you.
All SS Board Rules apply here.

Once again, for hardly the first time this semester, he felt torn in two directions.
Dropping his eyes to the ground, he gave a small shrug of his shoulder. "We can write...and whatnot." Something like that. He honestly didn't know how things in the ITF worked. "Sorry..." Sighing heavily Lexi scooted closer to Sabel and poked him gently in the side. " I'm sorry for being kind of selfish about it. I bet it's pretty scary, right? Going out into the big, bad world all alone," she said softly as she looked at him with big brown eyes.
" And I wouldn't dream of not writing to you. The only reason I didn't last time I was away... is because I was crazy," she said with a chuckle. She was crazy, Sabel knew it and so did she. No use in hiding it. " Will you really write me though? Or will you be too busy...with other stuff... and other people," she said with a gulp. She could see the way he looked at Arya... it was the way Lexi looked at Sabel for so long... she wasn't a fool. Would he forget Lexi when/if he and Arya became a couple?

Slowly, he drew his eyes back up and managed a weak smile. "Of course I'll write. As often as I can." He hadn't told her about the ITF, he hadn't told Arya either. Only Kellen seemed to know. "I don't really know how the ITF works to be honest." Shrugging again he forced his smile to be a little more honest. "I'll do my best though. Even if I'm busy. You might receive a one-liner owl."

There are far more important people in your life," she said in a constricted voice.
" But yeah... One liners would be fine. Just so I know you are okay. I am going to feel kind of lost without you around," she said as she wiped her eye. Totally not crying. Hay in the eye. Yep.

His frown worked its way into a more permanent, concerned expression as he watched her. "Lexi, that's not true, and you know it. You are very important to me. How could I forget you?" A slight smile touched his lips as he tilted his head a little. "You are one of my best friends. And who ever forgets their first crush?"

I don't know what I meant," she said with a little sniffle. She KNEW what she meant really. But it all sounded so stupid. Even to herself.
Sabel's next comment made her furrow her brow very deeply. First crush. Sighs. Sabel was probably the first person she truly ever cared for greatly. " People forget about others all the time. Sadly. Crush or not. It seems that people forget about me in particular. Quite often," she said rubbing at her eyes a bit furiously. She was NOT going to let Sabel Dakest see her crying over him again.
Suddenly she was on her feet and dusting herself off, althouh she now had hay in her hair here and there. " Maybe I should go. I will catch up with you later though? Thanks for spending time with me and all," she said as she forced a smile to her lips. Turning slowly she began to make her way toward the door. Then she topped and her shoulders slumped a bit. " I forgot my bag," she mumbled miserably.

He was on his feet in a matter of seconds as she left, gently but firmly taking her by the arm and turning her around to face him, his hands holding her upper arms. He didn't say anything, just frowned at her, watching her intensely as he searched her eyes. What she had said, what she was saying by simply walking away bothered him, and he would let her know it, because it should bother her too. Without a word, he was attempting to communicate that, because at the moment, he wasn't sure what to say.

She knew he wouldn't scare her again. She KNEW that, but it still scared her a bit. She wouldn't look at his eyes for the longest time. She instead stared directly at his chest. When he didn't speak she chanced a look at his face.
Sighs. Forcing herself to smile she gave as big a shrug as she could and shook her head. " Sorry... I might be on a pity pot here. Sorry about that. I just... thought that maybe I should get back to the castle is all," she lied. The fact that she was lying shown in her eyes. The fact that they were watering so and had a look of pain to them. " Don't frown so much. You will get wrinkles," she attempted to joke, the humor never touching her eyes.

He was surprised by the firmness in his voice, by the lack of tolerance for her crap. No smile or humor touched his expression as he continued to watch her, letting his hands leave her arms only after a long moment of silence.
"I'm not going to force you into talking, but you can either stop lying to me and tell me what exactly has you running away, or at least have the decency to admit that you are lying and don't want to be around me at the moment." He didn't want to get into another fight and he didn't want to see her in pain or suffering, but he could not stand seeing the contradiction in her eyes and hearing the lack of honesty in her voice when she asked him to be honest with her. It was hypocritical.

He didn't want to get into another fight and he didn't want to see her in pain or suffering, but he could not stand seeing the contradiction in her eyes and hearing the lack of honesty in her voice when she asked him to be honest with her. It was hypocritical. The biting tone in his voice made her flinch slightly. Frowning deeper still she looked at him for a long moment as he stared at her too. Then she heaved a sigh and blinked a few times. " Look. You don't want to hear it. I know. Because you don't care. You... just don't and I get that. But that doesn't mean I can stop feeling the way that I feel. You were more than a crush for me, Sabel. You always have been. It hurts to think about you being with someone else, Sabel. It truly rips my heart out. The way you look at her... it's the way I look at you. It hurts me, okay. I am trying very hard not to make you uncomfortable... but the feelings pop up now and then... I am also really afraid that if you start dating someone else that you will forget about me altogether... and I will never forget about you. There. Are you happy now? I feel like an IDIOT again. As usual," she said in a bit of an angry tone. Not anger toward him, but toward herself. Not being able to stop feeling that way for him. For making everything awkward. It killed her. She took a few steps back and averted her eyes. That was all she could do. He forced her to be honest. That is what he got.

She took a few steps back and averted her eyes. That was all she could do. He forced her to be honest. That is what he got. For a good moment he simply stared at her, the intensity of his gaze fading for a soft compassion and sympathy though his gut churned with a mixture of guilt, regret and nervousness. Was this similar to how Arya had felt when he had told her of his feelings? Scared, worried, and inadequate for being unable to return the feelings expressed? It seemed the same and yet alone different, for he had too once carried feelings for Lexi. And that's where the regret was; that this hadn't happened earlier, that they hadn't been on the same page at that time. But then, of course there was the other side of it, the knowledge that they had both grown and learn and come so far from being apart, and that in the end, it brought them closer than it could have before.
With a small breath out, he moved forward and wrapped his arms around Lexi, drawing her close for a warm hug. "But you are a beautiful idiot." There was a gentleness to his voice, a playful teasing that conveyed 'idiot' was not one of the words he would use to describe her. "I am sorry, Lexi, that I can not be that for you. I am truly sorry. I care about you deeply Lexi, you know that, just...not in that way." Giving her a gentle squeeze, resting his head against hers. "And you know I could never forget you; we have made an impact on one another that could not be erased. And because of it, I think we both know, we would bicker beyond end if we tried to be together."

" It's truly something I have come to terms with... your not feeling the same. There is nothing I can do to change it. So why try. It just doesn't mean that I can flip a switch and stop caring like that," she said as she snapped her fingers on the word that.
She sighed and finally wrapped her arms around him as a tear snuck it's way from her eye. " Whatever. It doesn't matter. You are leaving and so am I and we really may never see eachother again. And if you feel even an ounce of what I have felt... for her... then I never stood a chance anyway," she said solemnly. " Besides... I am a bit too crazy for someone as grounded as you are. It would never work between us."

While she seemed to think he had simply gotten over her, there was still a fraction, the fraction of his heart that she had broken, that held the faint remnants of his feelings for her all those years ago.
And then there was the part of him that was screaming against her words, asking her to stop talking about it. He hated to see her in such distress and then, he hated the topic of him leaving. But she was right about one thing, he was leaving and emotions meant little in the light of that. His voice came tight, not devoid of the pain of his own emotions, but also flat and somewhat dead. "I will not forget you, Lexi, so you can get that fool notion out of your head." His eyes found some pointless spot to stare off at over her shoulder. "And I wouldn't concern yourself over Arya and myself. You are right, I am leaving." So what did it matter? She was a beautiful girl and there would be some guy to sweep her off her feet.
Shaking his head a little, he forced his thoughts away from Arya and himself, knowing it would only hurt Lexi if he started on about that personal pain. "We will see each other again though. Promise."

I told her that if she really and truly cared for someone that she needed to do whatever she could to make it work. I am such a hypocrite. Here I am letting go. Finally. Just letting all go. It makes me sad," she said in little more than a whisper.
" I think my going to France would be best. Get an education there. Maybe I won't come back here. Ever," she said with a hint of excitement in her voice. If she could drag someone along with her that would be fabulous. She obviously couldn't whisk Sabel away though. Sadface. She didn't think Ivan would go... and she wasn't sure she wanted him to. It was all so odd.
" What do you think about Salander? Have you ever met him?" she asked... yeah perhaps it was odd to him. But it was a natural progression for her.

He remained quiet through he little speech, having nothing to add. There was nothing he could say, nothing he could do but hold her. And it killed him. He wanted to help, he wanted to quell her pain, but he could only remain still, silent and completely useless.
So there was some relief when she seemingly diverted the topic, though a great deal more confusion was present. "Salander? Was that the guy you snogged?" While dating Ivan?

Lexi scoffed and poked him in the ribs. " Gah! Do you have to say it like that? And it was a bit more than that. I mean, yeah we snogged a couple of times... but I didn't realize that he felt something for me... and to be quite frank I didn't realize that I felt anything for him," she said as she chewed on her lip.

The poke in his ribs was nothing compared to her next words. Blinking, he pulled back a little and gave her a quizzical look. "Aren't you...dating Ivan?" He kept his words far from the path of judgement and right on the road of confusion. This girl, could be strange sometimes. "And snogging doesn't necessarily mean the guy has any sort of emotional commitment."

"And snogging doesn't necessarily mean the guy has any sort of emotional commitment." Sighing Lexi shook her head slightly. " Yes I am dating Ivan. Even if I don't see him very often. The thing with Sal is a bit more than one kiss in the kitchen though. It happened before school started... before Ivan started. And I could tell there was something more... when I saw the look on Sal's face when I had to tell him that Ivan was my boyfriend. I didn't realize he could get hurt until that moment. And it hurt me," she said. Furrowing her brow she thought for a few moments and then shook her head again. " Forget I said anything, okay."

Sabel continued frowning at her in that confused sort of way. Why was she...? How did she...? What was the...?
Shaking his head a little, he did his best to wipe the expression off his face in favor of one that was more neutral. "Lexi, you can't really bring something up and then tell me to forget about it. Especially not when it's important to you." Letting out a slow breath, he considered his next words carefully before offering them to her. "May I speak honestly without you taking any offence, or getting upset, for my opinion is simply my opinion?"

I have no qualms with your being honest. I prefer it really, but please don't say it if it is going to be rude," she said honestly. Sabel's honesty did border on judgment and rudeness when it came to her... sometimes.

Letting out a gust of air, Sabel peered at Lexi from the corners of his eyes. "I was planning on trying to speak that way, but a lot of times I mean no offence." He shook his head, dismissing it. They could argue all day about perception and intention, but it would do them any good.
Another breath left him as he turned his eyes back to her, wondering how exactly to say what he truthfully thought without offending her. He supposed her reaction would be up to her and her alone. "I think...you need a break from men." A small shoulder shrug left him, if anything to try and convince her he was just trying to help. "You've been in a relationship almost constantly since fifth year and I don't really think you've given yourself much time to breathe. Or to recover from your last relationship. You...get this feeling of attraction, and I don't know why, but you feel like you have to peruse it, to have it. It's almost like you need that connection, that comfort or support or attention. I don't know Lexi, and I won't pretend to know and I'm not judging. But I don't think this...series of relationships is doing anything but hurting you."
A slow breath escaped him as he ran his hand back through his hair. "I hate seeing you get hurt Lexi, and all these guys are doing just that. But you don't stop to look at that, you just hope the next will be better than the last. You have no time for yourself, no time to discover who you are, on your own. And I really think, it would be good for you, to take a step back and spend some time in the single side of life."

And I really think, it would be good for you, to take a step back and spend some time in the single side of life." Lexi listened... silently. She knew what he was saying was true in a lot of ways. Finally giving a sigh she looked at the boy and gave a sad sort of smile. " It's true. I need to be with someone to feel better about myself sometimes. If you haven't noticed... I am not exactly well liked around here. Having at least one person that I know likes me regardless of that mess... makes me feel safer," she said quietly.
Then as she gave a mirthless chuckle she continued, " I know it all sounds so sad and pathetic... and truth be told I feel that way. But recently I decided that boys are less important than my future. I thought Ivan would understand that... but I am not sure he thinks anything other than |I am being selfish." Way to react to honesty, right? Meh.

He was surprised, purely surprised that he didn't get hit or yelled at or anything. But the surprise was unimportant compared to the sympathy he felt for her. Once again, he reached out and drew her into his arms, hugging and rocking her gently. He was proud of her and at the same time he was scared for the way she perceived herself. But she was changing that perception, albeit slowly, and he would put his trust in that. "I like you...despite all that 'mess'." Whichever mess she was referring to.

Lexi wrapped her arms around Sabel as he embraced her, a genuine hug tugging at her lips as she allowed him to rock her gently back and forth. " I know, Sabel. Sometimes I need a little more than a friend though. Or at least I did. I really just want to focus on my future now. Perhaps that is the safest bet. Lonely or not... I need to focus," she said in a slightly constricted voice. Being alone SCARED her. Scared her a lot. She had not been in alone in a long time.

View it as being independent." He murmured with a small smile. "Because you are never alone. I know there's a difference between one 'alone' and the next, but believe me, you aren't alone."

I know there's a difference between one 'alone' and the next, but believe me, you aren't alone." She bit her bottom lip and fought the urge to point out the obvious... that once he was gone she was indeed alone. It was like Lexi against the world. That is how she felt most of the time, anyway. " I suppose you have a point there," she said reluctantly. She wasn't sure anyone would ever view her an anything but independent though. Hehe.
" There are indeed different degrees of alone," she said with a dry laugh.
