Legend picked up another stone and was about to throw that one too but stopped. Had it just got colder? He eyed the tree as it swayed slowly from side to side. It was not doing that a few seconds ago. He let the stone fall to the ground. He did not want to be killed by a tree. No thank you.

"I don't need a mother! I come to Hogwarts to get away from my parents!" Plus, his step mother was the one who made him do Ballet when he was 7. He would STILL be doing that if it wasn't for Hogwarts. "I like you much better when you don't giggle. Now, why were you stalking me?"

"You ARE being dumb though. Doesn't matter what house you're in, throwing spoons at girls and rocks at very old, intelligent trees is dumb," Neptune haughtily informed her schoolmate. Hmph. FACTS by MISS BOTT. Yep.

She shivered and again readjusted her robe when the wind picked up again, all the while watching a bit of a fit from Legend about his mother. Oddly, Neptune Bott TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTALLY got that. Embraced it. Didn't bat an eye or call him out for it. She even smiled a little.

Smiled until he said he liked her better when she wasn't giggling. Neptune stomped her foot, "I am NOT stalking you! And I'm not giggling right now because you don't make me very happy." HMPH. MEANIE. "I just saw you and came over...." that's ALL.

GRRR. It seemed like Neptune would NOT drop the spoon thing."Listen. I am sorry. Throwing the spoon was stupid okay? Stupid stupid stupid." There! No need to bring it up again of course. Brushing his hair away from his eyes Legend looked back at the tree. "And throwing rocks at the tree is fun! You try it! Any moment it could wake up, it's like....Russian Roulette...with a old grumpy tree." Pssh, the tree wasn't that intelligent, if it was it would be smart enough to get up and attack students.

The Gryffindor gave a confused look. So...she giggled because she was happy...and not because she wanted to be annoying? Strange. He honestly wouldn't have guessed that. "So...you giggle when you are happy? And I don't make you happy so you don't giggle around me?" Huh. That was kind of a win lose situation. No giggling but... was he that bad he made a person unhappy? "But..if I make you so unhappy that you don't giggle then why did you come over?" Legend's face looked more confused by the second.

Girls were aliens. Especially Neptune.

Good luck Jake.

Neptune put her hood up to cover her ears, but she stayed put. In fact, the wind had picked up so much she was easing towards the large barrier known as Legend. "I couldn't throw a rock that far if my life depended on it." And why WOULD she? It didn't make any sense. Boys.

....

..............? Neptune dropped her eyes to her shoes and toed at the ground. "I don't know. You were out here alone." And so was she. "I don't know."

Alice nodded as Dallin spoke about his sisters, giving him a little smile as she noticed his sarcasm. She imagined being the token boy could be frustrating in some respects. "My family is very small. My dad has a couple of siblings but we don't really see them much, and my mother's only sister died in a car accident. My mother kept her being a witch from my dad and me until I got my letter. Even then she wasn't really involved in the whole process and she never really explained anything to my dad and me." Alice paused for a moment, waiting to judge how she was feeling to talking about this. Surprisingly she seemed to be okay. "She left my dad and me this summer, but I don't know why. But, I basically consider myself to be muggleborn since I grew up like a normal muggle did."

Whew that had been a lot of family history for Dallin. She hoped he didn't mind her talking her ear off.

"That is a good point you bring up about it possibly being caused by a recessive gene. It certainly wouldn't make sense if it wasn't a recessive gene," Alice said with a chuckle. She thought about the muggle community she lived in and how they lived their lives in comparison to the wizarding world that she had been introduced to. "Muggles really aren't very different from us if you think about it. Sure we can do magic and such but fundamentally, down to the basics we are really just like them. They face the same kind of problems and moral issues as we do, and they're working to improve their society by studying their given fields just like people do in the wizarding world. In some ways I think it's almost better living in the muggle world...it's just a lot less complicated, you know? Magic just has so many possibilities that it's kind of scary to think about what could happen if it fell into the wrong hands. Although, I suppose the same thing could be said in the science field in the muggle world."

"Great! So the best time to learn is now when you're at school. " And probably suppose to be in class. Like him. Picking up the stone that he hand just dropped he pushed it into Neptune's hand as she moved closer."Throw it." Legend pointed toward the Willow. It was FUN.

The weather had gone from nice, to abnormally chilly. That was not good. It wasn't the tree thought right? It wasn't moving more than before? Or maybe he was just in denial. "You cold?" Because he wasn't cold. Legend Chosen didn't get cold.

...Activate awkwardness now. "Well...thanks I guess. Are you alright?" No giggling, plus no weird active Neptune was..WEIRRRD. "I give you permission to giggle if you want." Huh. Maybe Professor Dude finally told her that those two would never work out. There there.

"Throw it?" Neptune spluttered, confused on how she had a ROCK in her hand suddenly. What the what? "I just told you I can't." She was sure she'd said that.

Neptune rolled the stone between her palms and shrugged at his question. "A little," she admitted. A little cold, the last bits of summer were creeping away as October progressed. "And I'm fine, thanks." Mostly.

................giggle. "If you think I need YOUR permission to giggle... then you're even DUMBER still, Mr. Chosen." Giggle. Even if she HAD waited for his permission to actually do the deed. Neptune nudged his arm with the stone. NUDGE.

"You pull your hand back, and then pull it forward really fast and open your hand. That's how you throw a rock." And now she knew how. It wasn't that complicated really! The tree wouldn't do anything!

Nodding Legend shrugged off his bag and pulled out his extra cloak. Keeping one always worked. "Here take this. If you get sick or anything you'd probably say it was because I threw a spoon at you." He would never live that done. Now. "Are you suure? Because you seem kind of..." What was the word? Legend had no clue. Un...Neptune ish? "Not your self."

AND THERE IT WAS! He knew it was coming. Somehow though it didn't bother him like it had before. The blonde smirked. "Not so dumb if you still waited for my permission. Don't worry I understand. What I say matters alot. I am a very important person, the Gryffindor Prince and all." Yes he was the Gryffindor Prince, because he claimed the title just now. Duh.

Well at least she knew how to nudge people with a rock.

Well. Okay then. Neptune did just as he said - she pulled her arm back. Then she pushed forward. Then she opened her hand and the rock fell out of it.


GIGGLE. It was possible that she was.... just playing with the Gryffindor. She knew how to THROW, just not how to throw real FAR. Didn't she need boy muscles or something? She was pondering this while he dug out the cloak, so Neptune was a little ... surprised .... when he handed it to her.

That was AWFUL nice. Neptune turned her back to him for him to do her the honor of draping it on her shoulders. For now, since he WAS being so nice, she was even going to let the spoon comment go. And the insistence that something was wrong with her.

He SO helped her along with the ignoring though, with his big-headed Gryffindor talk. "Are you??? Did you know I was the PRINCESS of Ravenclaw?" Like, for real? She peeked over her shoulder at him. FOR SERIOUS. "I even have a tiara." Hidden in her bedside table, yup.

She was going to do it! Legend got really his eyes turned to the tree. After a few seconds of seeing..well nothing he rubbed his eyes just to make sure they were working.

Yup. Nothing. Turning back to Neptune his mouth formed a small 'oh'. She looked like she had thrown it but obviously not far enough. In fact...wasn't the rock that one right there close to her feet? "Do you want to have like...rock throwing lessons or something?" That was just sad.

Huh? As Neptune turned around Legend blinked in confusion. Did...she not want the cloak? What was he suppose to do? Looking at the cloak in his hands then back to the girl he held it out- and then threw it at her softly so it draped over her head. She would fix it if she was cold enough....and wanted to see.

"Of course I am. Go ask any Gryffindor if they know how I am and I bet you anything they will have heard about me." Even if he didn't know who they are. Hm, Gryffindors were stalkers too! Princess of Ravenclaw. Pssh. Legend doubted that, Neptune was missing a couple of screws but he would never say that out loud. "Is it a real tiara? Like real diamonds and stuff. Or is it just cheap plastic." That made all the difference.

"Lessons - Oh.."


Oh.

IT SUDDENLY... was dark. Neptune Bott should have seen that coming. She should have known that Legend Chosen's head was full of rocks and air and little more - that he'd not KNOW how to give a girl a cloak in a proper way.

She just stood there for moment, breathing, trying without success not to POUT AND POUT AND POUT that she was UNDER a CLOAK and her HAIR was getting even MESSIER and he was ... still out there... TALKING at her instead of trying to help. Knowing better than to WAIT for him, Neptune pulled the cloak from her head - paused to POUT!GLARE at Legend - then rearranged the cloak over her shoulders. Its hem hit the ground behind her, but she was WARMER already.

"I'm not giggling anymore. And I'm not talking about tiaras or royalty with you anymore either. NO prince would EVER throw a cloak at a Princess." Therefore, Legend Chosen that makes YOU absolutely NOT a Prince by ANY standards ANYWHERE.

Neptune Bott has spoken.

Freya walked towards the Whomping Willow. She really needs a fresh air right now. She breath the fresh air and exhaled it. Hmm..It's good to be outside and the best part is that it still October so the weather was really nice. She swung her bag into her shoulder and made her way closer to the Whomping Willow, well not that closer she couldn't let the Whomping Willow now couldn't she?

Luna walked towards a Slytherin girl who looked about the same age. "Hi, I'm Luna," she smiled to the girl.

Rex waits for Fee at "The Whomping Willow".

Alex walked to the whomping willow with a suspicious face. It looked nice and all but looks could decive, he knew that. He had no idea what the tree could do really. He glanced around him once looking so no one was near, Merlin's pants he couldn't be afraid of a tree now could he? What could possibly happen?

Strolling towards it he picked up a branch and poked the tree a little. Mwaha! This was easy, he was the king of the wooorld! A tree couldn't scare-

UFF!

Suddenly the tree started moving and one big branch hit him in the stomach so he fell over.

Niiice.

Alex lay for a second glancing sideways at the tree, would it attack again? Did he have time to switch to his ninja mode? No there was no time, he needed to save himself! He started to crawl on the ground not getting up oncee, the tree might see him! Gulp.

As long as no one saw him crawling around on the ground, everything would be okay. Phew!

Chandler jogged down at a steady pace towards this...tree thing but he wasn't going to jog TO the tree. Why would he want to go there? Trees were boring so he had no reason to go there but he was just going to go passed it and to be honest, he did think it was quite...something. Kinda ugly if you asked him. He slowed his pace as he got closer and then he would just avoid it because after eyeing it whilst he was jogging it looked like a tree which you didn't want to be anywhere near it.

His eyes caught the attention of a boy who was much closer to the tree than he was. Chandler wasn't that close to it so it wasn't really hard for anyone to be closer to him without being cautious. He furrowed his eyebrows, watching the boy as he picked up a branch near by and...poked the tree? o____O

That was probably a BAD thing to do.

And yeah, it looked like it was a bad thing to do. Really bad. And then which was even weird was the boy started CRAWLING around! Chandler advanced quickly to him, running and pulling him back away from the tree. He could get hurt again! "Dude! Do NOT go zere again, you're just going to get 'urt and speaking of zat, are you alright? Ze tree looked like it 'urt you bad."

Yep. Chandler Montague SAVED someone. Kaia would be proud. SNORT.

It wasn't like he had done anything wrong. She had wanted the cloak, so he gave it to her. Simple, simple. Yet it didn't seem that simple to Neptune when she took the cloak off her head, stopped to glare at him and then fixed it the right way.

Huh?

Giggling over already? Shame....well...not really."Yeah a Prince would! I'm not your servant." Pssh. Silly Ravenclaw who's name was a planet. She didn't know much did she? Or maybe....running his hand through his hair a light bulb flashed in Legend's mind. "Are you just mad because you have a cheep plastic tiara? It's alright you know. Not everyone can afford a real one." There, there Neptune Bott there was no need to cry.

Alex felt something or someone tug at his shirt. Whaaaa! He tried to kick before he noticed this something or someone pulled him further away from the Devil Tree. He grinned in satisfaction and whistled some when he was carried to saftey. Hehe. He would get back on the tree someday. Someday very soon. Beware.

"I am not going to get hurt, I'm going to win." he muttered and brushed off the dirt from his clothes before looking up at the person who had spoken. "I'm alright, that tree didn't give me one scracth. he protested. Stupid tree. He would chop it and throw it in a fire. Mwaha, he was on his way to world domination, all that stood in his way was the Whomping Willow and well he was kind of hungry. World domination would have to wait for a while.

"Thank you though I was-Heeey, you have a french accent!" He's just, you know, stating the obvious.

EEEP. D= He was trying to KIIIICK him! Well, tried. Once. But still, Chandler was only trying to help the guy and all he did in gratitude was kick him. How nice. And then he was whistling. Was something up with him or what? "Why exactly ARE you whistling?" He asked directly, looking down at him and came into eye contact with his back because he was dragging him from the same crawling position that he was in, now he wasn't on his hands and knees because that would hurt a lot don't you think?

"...Do you 'ave like...a problem or something with ze tree?" Chandler asked, looking at him with a weak incredulous look and then shook his head. Yeah, he probably did. Manic. "Mmm, zure it did." And no he didn't believe him for one second, that tree was obviously going to cause some damage and the fall did look quite painful from where he stood when it happened.

"You're welcome, just try not to land yourself in ze 'Ospital Wing." Unless he was accident prone then nothing could save him. "Yeaahh...I do." He said, now taking a good look at him. WAIT. He looked like..."and you look like my best friend..." Chandler trailed off and just stared at him. "Leo?" But Leo wasn't this calm, or calm at all he was always shouting or talking loudly. "Wait. Who ARE you?" Did he kidnap his best friend and got a hold of some polyjuice potion?!?!?!

Alex thought for a while, why had he been whistling? "It was nice not to be forced to move my own legs, soo.... I whistled... Yeah..." That made sense. He had been happy to be dragged carried somewhere, so he whistled.

"Oh you really want to get into that? That tree," he said pointing accusingly at it. "Has a problem with me!" It stood there looking so innocent. Oooh he would get that tree sometime. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. He glanced suspisciously at his saviour the guy. "Why? You're its spy or something?" Wellll, was he? Of course that tree had spies all over the place. Shifty eyes.


Blink, blink.

Alex stared at the guy and just blinked. "Whaat doo yoou want?" he asked crossing his arms. "I'm Alex. I don't know any Leo." Hold on, was that the tree's name? Leo? Interesting...

Who he was? Well, he was awesome for one. "I'm the guy you just dragged on the ground. Who are yoou? I might ask." he said poking the guy's chest several times. Heh. Pokey, pokey.

Pokey some more.

Alina nodded. OF COURSE it was the height, what else would it have been? It wasn't like he had a mustache or anything else that would have made him look older. "Yes, it was the height," she replied. "How tall are you?" With her being 4'8, she was guessing he was about 5'10 (possibly an inch or two shorter).

This girl had been keeping a very good distance between the tree and her... as well as between her and Alex. What?! You never knew if this guy had some rare disease he could spread. Yet, when Alex took a step back, making him closer to her, she took another step back to equal out the distance once again. "Are you scared the tree is going to hit you?" She questioned.

This boy OBVIOUSLY was scared... and didn't like taking risks.

A little smile appeared across her face when Alex mentioned he was a Pureblood. So far, that was the only she liked about it. She would love the fact that he was Hufflepuff if she hasn't heard from others that students of that house were goody goody two shoes. AND they were tattle tales. Goody goody two shoes and tattle tales were what those Hufflepuffs were -- or so she's heard. "Pureblood," she finally answered, "and proud of it."

"You're not my servant, no, but you're also no Prince. You don't have a decent or gallant or .. or... or...." GRRRRRR. Neptune stomped her foot and swished his cloak around her, annoyance stealing her words.

And then.... he went there. Neptune Bott's tiara was perfect. It had, after much staring at it, been crafted just for her.

....but Neptune wasn't and couldn't go there. She rethought his words and changed directions. "Are you insinuating that I'm poor? Me? Do you have ANY idea who I am?" Honestly. Neptune lifted the sleeve of her borrowed cloak to sniff it.

Freya looked up when she heard someone approached her. "Oh. Hi, Luna. I'm Freya. Freya Salvatore" she said with a smile. "Do you wanna sit down?" she asked and moved over a bit to make a room for the girl to sit down. She could see the girl is a Ravenclaw from her uniform and she seems in her age but she could be wrong "What year are you in?" she asked.

Luna sat down next to Freya. "I'm in second year what about you?" she asked. Luna reached into herher pocket only to find two Chocolate Frogs. "Do you want one?" she offered.

"Oh you are a second year too?" The Slytherin girl said excited. "I'm in fact a second year too." she said with a smile. Then she saw the girl offered her a chocolate frogs. "Umm..No thanks. I'm not a big fans of chocolate actually." or any other sweets, she smiled apologetically. "So, umm..what's you favorite subjects in Hogwarts?" she asked.

A bit surprised by the girls response she put the chocolate frog away. She smiled at the fellow second year. "Cool, we should be friends, I love Charms what about you?" she asked.
