Caroline waited a minute before turned around from behind the tree. When she turned around Zander was right there almost nose to nose with her. She sceamed when He said say Boo loudly she covered her mouth and started laughing hard. This was so much fun. She quickly took off to another tree. "Bring it on" she said loudly from behind a pretty big tree.

Zander smile slightly as she dashed behind another tree again. That moment when they were nearly nose to nose was .. errm .. interesting . He already had a snowball ready, which he threw in the direction of Caroline, knowing it wouldnt hit target. He wandered out into the Pathway feeling reckless out of cover , balling up snow as he edged closer to Carolines tree

Carolne seen him right in the middle of the pathway clear shot. She threw it and hit him. She quickly turnd back behind the tree.

OOC: sorry that was a shorty

He got hit square on the chest again, he let out a little sigh. he kinda opened himself up for that one, he pulled out his wand on conjured up a white flag " truce now Caroline ? " he asked " I'm getting bored of been beaten " he said with a slight chuckle.

He slowly tiptoed towards the tree he knew she was behind, he had no intention of snowballing her, he was unarmed. He still had the white flag waving from the end of his wand. Zanders thoughts strayed to a few minutes earlier, when Caroline seemed to frown . hmmm " Caroline ? " she still hadn't appeared from her hiding place

OOC- dont worry about it

Caroline poked her head, only her head out from behind the tree to make sure his truce was a true one. She threw the snowball she had on the gound. She fullly came out this time "Ok, ok" she walked over with her hands in the air to show that she didn't have a snowball in them. She smiled at the boy. She walked in a circle around him to make sure he didn't have one hiding somewhere.

He laughed slightly as she circled him , checking for snow balls. " you'd think we were in a war or something " the corners of his mouth raised towards a smirk " little do you know I've got two in my pockets .... i joke .. " he emptied out his pockets so to prove that he was indeed totally unarmed.

He pulled his scarf up towards his chin " cold " he muttered , not necessarily to Caroline, it was just a general point. " so" he said rubbing his hands together " what was that frown for earlier on .... i noticed it " Zanders eyes flickered over her for a moment before he glanced to his left , back towards the castle.

Caroline gave him a smirk when he said it seemed like they were ar war. She smiled at him as she finished the circle. She nodded to tell him good no snowballs. "even in your pockets" He showed her not even his pocket. She grinned again at the boy. "yes" she replied to to sole word he said next. "What frown?" She tried to act suprised about the frown she knew what frown, but actted like she was oblivious to that fact. She started walking back to the castle, she was kind of starting to get cold.

Holding her compass out in front of her, Mia followed its direction and began to walk until she found herself in the pathways. And once again she made sure that she was on her own. The first compass may just have been a fluke.

Mia reverted the compass back to a watch and closed her eyes in concentration. This time she wanted to make the compass a little more detailed.

She practiced the wand movements again while thinking of the incantation, then she opened her eyes and looked at the watch. Moving her wand over the watch again.

Top to bottom.

Left to right.

Circle.

Jab.

"Comletia." She said with as much confidence as she could muster and concentrating really hard on making a more detailed compass. She looked down at what was in her hands and raised her eyebrows. Okay it wasn't exactly detailed but she had managed to change the colour.

Enya was still staring at the Professor when he announce they each lose 5 points. Blah, she'd had more taken before wasn't like she cared. No she really didn't care what the Professor said, ignoring him time to sort Ellie out. She turned to glare at the girl.

"You DID give me a reason to hate you. Im not stupid i know what you said to Louisa in the common room and for NO reason" She said her voice rising, not that she cared. She would NOT let Ellie win her over. NEVER! "You were having a bad day? Well maybe you shouldn't involve MY friends" She knew she sounded winey but meh.

"And you expect me to take all the blame, for everything YOU did?" She asked nearly shouting at this point. No she really HATED that girl. Enya glared and folded her arms, giving Ellie's fozen one a quick look. Served her right! She told herself. She was doing alright containing herself until Ellie tried getting her more serioulsy told off.

"WHAT!?" She shouted, "You expect me to get more blame when you were shooting spells my way also? Yeah so i Petrified your arm, that's nothing compared to what you tried doing to me! Turning my upside down? trying to pertrify me also?" She stopped but he continued to glare. After a moment she turned to the Professor again and listened as he took yet more points off. Thank You Ellie, she said sarcasticly in her head.

"Yes, you can't seriously take HER answer over mine" She said rudly, "And i will go no where near your dropping or whatever" She added before beginning to tap her foot on the ground.

He followed her lead back up towards the Castle, he was pretty pleased about this , the fact the snowballs that him hm had melted to icy water really werent helping him try and keep warm. He glanced across at her when she question what he was on about, maybe she didnt want to talk about it ? it was pretty odd to just frown out of nothing though "oh errr " he kicked at some snow as he walked " might have just been my imagination then " he said with a slight smile.

"Alright, another ten." He could do this all day. "Oh, and Silencio," he casted on both girls. "You are giving me a headache. I did not realize that when I accepted this job that I would be dealing with three year olds." He raised his eyebrows looking between them both. "You both should be ashamed of yourselves. You are from the same house! I suggest you both have a reality check and soon."

He raised his wand again, but paused. "I am going to remove the silencing spell. When I do, I do not want to hear another word about this. You," he pointed to one girl, "You go that way. And you will go the other way," he added, pointing to the other girl and then pointing in the opposite direction. "If you utter another word, I will deduct 50 points, per word. Got it?"

Caroline shrugged. "Yeah maybe" She said as she walked back up to the castle. She smiled to herself. That was the best time here that she had had in a while. They were nearly back, they were almost at the countyard.

OOC: You can pick where to go now.

Enya would have said more but suddenly she couldn't speak for she had been silenced. Gosh that sounded weird in her head. Annoyed she turned to glare at the Professor and folded her arms. It was all Ellie's fault, though she couldn't say. She was forced to listen as he went on, boringgggg.

She was glad when the spell was lifted she could at least talk, and no way was Ellie getting away with this. She couldn't do anything now for fear of losing more points - like she really cared - but she'd get her back sooner or later. She turned to go before realising she still didn't have her wand. Turning back she opened her mouth and said..well nothing as she still had the slience charm on her. Damn, she thought as she frantically pointed at her throat and at her wand which she needed back to get the damn spell off. She glared slightly at the professor who had casted the spell in the first place.

"Oh, do you need this back?" Chad wiggled her wand, almost as if teasing her. Oh, being an authoritative adult in the school was mighty fun! He chuckled and shook his head. "I assure you, Mademoiselle. If either I or Vindictus hear either of you getting into trouble, you will be put into detention SO long, you can certain that you will not see the light of day, ever again."

With that, he lifted the spell and held his wand out to the girl. "You got it?"

Enya felt the spell being lifted from her and she was glad, she was even more glad when she was given back her wand. She had a mind to curse the Professor for putting a silence spell on her but felt the punishment wasn't worth it.

Taking a step forward she snatched her wand back with a sarcastic "thank you" and turned to walk away but not before giving Ellie a deathly glare. So no detention this time, cool, she thought. The professor's threats really didn't scare her. Ellie was so going to get back for this.

Rex passes Rowan by walking fast. He looks back for Rowan.

Rowan caught up to her friend Rex. "See. There is one disadvantage to being so small. My short little legs have a hard time keeping up," she laughed.

Air.

It felt so good to finally be outside. Fresh air. Snow. Just a few lost rays of sunlight that touched her pale skin.

Wearing her dark blue - almost black - cloak and a very fluffy white scarf wrapped around her neck, Helena strolled around the pathways for the first time. She suddenly regretted the fact that she had never been here before. It was so peaceful. And fresh air. She surely needed that. After all those classes and homework and classes and homework and...

She needed air.

" WEll, you were not that far behind" Rex told Rowan. " You will probably grow taller as you get older" Rex said to Rowan. "So how do you like "The Pathways?"Rex asked Rowan.

"I don't think I will naturally grow taller. My mum was small too. I could always make myself taller but I am comfortable with myself, even if I am short." she smiled. "The Pathways are cool. Do they lead any place in particular?" she asked.

Georgiana tired and...tired of homeworks, classes etc went outside to relax.

Walking around she went to this place she had been before, peaceful and enjoyable. She started to daydream...as always...and thought about random things, not sure were she was going she kept walking and walking until she found herself in a place full of trees, big and little ones, some snow here and there; and found a person, standing not so far away from her, looking around. This girl seemed that was thinking about something and got a little bit closer... ohh she knew her.

She hide behind a tree and trying not to make so much noise she grabbed snow and made a snowball... carefully she got closer to the girl and threw the snowball on the girl's back, and the little brown wavy haired girl hide again behind a tree; trying not to laugh too much she put her hand on her mouth so nothing could be heard.

Helena was dreaming. Daydreaming. She started thinking about that tea party organised by the prefects, where she decided to go, alone or not. But what is she going to wear? A long dress, of course. And one of those pretty paraso-

Whaaat did just happen?

She felt a snowball hit her back and gasped, then turned around quickly. No one. Well, there had to be. There's no charm to make the snowballs throw themselves, is it? "Who's there?" Uhh her voice sounded so terrified. "It's not funny." She looked around again, but didn't see... anything.

Georgiana heard how scared Helena was and couldn't help but chuckle she put her hand again on her mouth and hoped Helena hasn't heard anything.

She moved and hide in a bush and did again a snowball, this time it hit her leg, she was hoping Helena would not die of fear here and again she chuckle, Georgiana was really bad to get serious when the time required it, she got up a little bit just to see Helena's reaction and hide again.

What was happening?!

Helena felt another snowball, this time hitting her leg. And it was so cold! "Who is it?" She wanted to sound... mad? But her voice was trembling. She heard something. It had to be someone. "Stop this, please. It's not funny at all."

Okay, if nobody is going to show up, she's going to leave. Or run away.

" Yes, usually when your parents are not tall, you do not tend to be tall" Rex agreed with Rowan. " How about your dad, was he short, too?" Rex asked Rowan."Well, no matter what height you are, when you do the right things, it makes you feel taller" Rex explained to Rowan." I am not sure about where "The Pathways" lead, but lets skip don the road" Rex told Rowan.
