There was a small frown somewhere along his happy expression, though, not as happy after the whale came up. She's never met them? That's...not so odd, really. After all, Harry Potter lived most of his childhood without knowing the truth.

And...well, let's not talk about Gilderoy.

"Ask him." He smiled, encouraging her to do so. He didn't know what her relationship with her father was like, but Treyen didn't mind asking questions around. And he knew from experience that the Gilderoy questions had been quite recurrent but he got his answer. Sooner or later. He did. "He may tell you, and...if he doesn't, then ask him again."

Yes, he noticed the pout, but she should know by now that such a thing had no effect on him. She should know. "Thanks," he smiled, "Just...put them away, in your bag." Whatever, just take them out of sight. Actually, she could feed them to the Whomping Willow, and then the Willow won't have to go around killing birdies.

Haha. His smile widened as he heard his name coming from her.

And then he grinned.

But...wait...,"You do remember Aslan, no?" because that was important.

Ellie kind of...stared at Treyen and his brilliance. "I never thought of doing that," she said as a smile crept onto her face. So simple, yet it never occurred to her. Their absence was just a thing. Occasionally, she wondered why, but never at the right place or time. "Yeah." Nod. She'll do that.

Rolling her eyes, she just the pictures of the CUTE whale, and put them back in her bag.

"I.." Oh no...was she supposed to know who Aslan was?

Huh? Really? But that was...the most logical thing to do, no? Like, wasn't she a Ravenclaw? Actually, that's not why he was surprised at her comment, he WAS surprised because she always questioned him. Always. There was always a 'Why?' coming out of her mouth, even to the most simplest comments she asked 'Why?'.

It was only natural that he felt...well, astonished to hear that. Though, in all fairness, he hadn't heard her question him in a while.

He chuckled, again, but said nothing about it.

And...hey! No rolling of the eyes! Whales are creepy, especially when they're that big. But, yeah, weaknesses were kept to himself. "Perhaps Barty, the Squid, might appreciate those pictures." If he was to be found, and since it was almost summer, then he'll be easier to find, no?

Ha. She didn't know. Or remembered. "Do you remember the Niffler I said I was going to take care of? Back when the school year was barely starting?" she'd been there, and...they kind of talked. Serious stuff. No?

"Well, I named her Aslan." And if things went well, and Saylen didn't leave or left some sort of letter, then he could keep her forever.

Hehehe. "Maybe he would." She had no better use for them. Why not dump them in the lake?

Or...she could make that wallpaper...

Eh.

"Of course," Ellie nodded. The BABY Niffler. 'Twas adorable. "So Saylen let you keep...her?" Her. "Aww. I'd love to take pictures of her for you." Totally. Anytime.

He smiled. How often did Barty get to see pictures of some long lost relative, eh? Treyen was sure it didn't happen often, especially considering that he hadn't seen the Squid in..what? Three years? And he was on his fourth year? Yes, very smooth way of keeping Barty close to the heart.

At least she remembered something.

That was a start. And his smile widened, "She did. Well, I suppose that if I get on bad terms with Saylen...," but then he shook his head, "...yes, she let me keep her. I was surprised to find out she was a girl," Aslan, not Saylen, "But, it was a nice surprise." Considering his other two pets were male.

GRIN.

"Thanks. Though, I'm happy with just a single one." Yes, Ellie will take the picture, though, she might need a reminder.

As soon as he was done browsing through all his copies, he looked back at Ellie, "I don't have one of you." No, he wasn't joking. The boy seemed saddened about that little fact.

Hah. Bad terms with Saylen. Ellie didn't think he was on good terms with her, the way she was with him. But she wasn't going to say anything on the matter.

"What's so surprising about that?" Huh huh?

Right. Just one. "I'd be happy to take one." As she said.

She gave Treyen a LOOK, but smiling. "Well it's not like I go around taking pictures of myself." There was no reason for her to have any, so why would she take any?

Er, because he didn't know? "Well, because this was the first time I was ever entitled to care for one? I mean, Gilderoy is a boy and so is Thaddeus. Phineas was or is one too." It was like he was afraid of giving a wrong answer, Ellie is a girl, and girls tended to react weird to some things. Or...Hufflepuff girls did, anyway. He didn't know as far as Ravenclaw goes, but Ellie had her times. Especially when unwanted topics were resurfaced.

"It was a nice surprise." Yeah, he was terrified, that's why he was making up excuses, no? Nope, it wasn't an excuse, because his kind smile was meant for Ellie to believe that IN FACT, it had been a very welcoming surprise. Even Saylen was shocked to find that out.

And he was very grateful that she'd said 'Yes'. A picture of Aslan may even work in the future, to show Saylen some progress or something.

What was that 'LOOK' about? Oh. "I don't do that either, but I thought you may give me a present or something. After all, my birthday was a month ago and you forgot to give me one." So, he was totally joking about this. But, "May I?" it was different this time, because he didn't take the camera from her, he was asking for permission. Though, the permission he was asking was to take her picture, not the camera, really.

It was interesting...how most pets seemed to be boys. Screech was a boy, Ellie was pretty sure her Pygmy Puff is a boy - given that it was even alive.

Wait. "Who and who?" Phineas she knew, but those other two...yeah. No idea.

Nod. As it should be.

WHAT?!

Oh man. She. Felt. Horrible! His birthday was probably something she should know, yes?

Mann.

But. "Why? I mean...your birthday...you should get something more - better, even - than a picture. I mean pictures are so..." Cheap? They just weren't birthday presents. "But, I mean...go ahead." She held the camera out for him. It was the LEAST she could do for not knowing his birthday. She even knew that new kid's birthday and she's known Treyen for about two years now.

Sebastian walked over to the Whomping Willow ready for his little going home type party for himself. It was a picnic though, so not really a party. He kept a big distance away from the tree, due to the fact he didn't want to be killed before he left. So he unrolled the picnic mat that he had casted a spell to double the size for everyone earlier and laid it down on the ground. He got out some water for everybody and some pieces of candy as well as some sandwhiches, a peanut butter and jellybean sandwhich specially for ShortPerson. He looked over everything and nodded, it looked pretty good. Then he took a seat in his spot and waited for everyone to come. Hopefully it would have no drama, hopefully.

Bonnie could feel her stomach flutter. Of course his girlfriend will be there... She thought as she walked down the slanted hill. The Whomping Willow. WIIIIIINNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCE. She had once dragged some kid out of it's way. The kid could have been killed. Bonnie finally reached the picnic and smiled shyly at Sebsters. "Heey. Told you I would come." She sat down oppisite him and pulled a paper box out of her Mickey Mouse bag and placed them gingerly in between them. "Shortbread cookies 'cause I know you don't eat chocolate..." Crazed!Girl suddenly grinned. "I'd like to say I made them buuuutttt....House elves are awesome, ya' know?"

'Who and who' what?

Oh! "Gilderoy and Thaddeus?" had he never mentioned them before? Oh, let's just hope that Gilderoy isn't flying around at this precise moment, because that would upset him quite a bit and Treyen will be left with no owl at all. "Gilderoy is my owl," his own owl, "I named him after...well, before I started Hogwarts," and he was more than positive that she didn't catch the moment in which he'd decided to change the direction of what he was saying. "Thaddeus is my Knarl, I just got him last summer," actually, Vashti met him, right? Before he made Kurumi cry. Sigh.

And the Knarl was safely sleeping in his dormitory, or so he hoped. He left him there this morning.

Nodding? Man, he was saved.

"Why what?" why was he asking for a present? Or for a picture? Haha. He chuckled. He was in charge of pictures for the Yearbook. To him, pictures were a bit more than just pictures, "They're memories," he believed that, "Whether or not you remember them, it doesn't matter, it's there, like proof of something." Did it make sense? It did to him, especially considering Gilderoy had lost his memories.

He took Ellie's camera now, but he'll wait for the right moment for the picture, no? After all, he only wanted one.

As Sebastian waited for everyone to come he put out some apples and took a bite of one. It surely wouldn't suprise Sophie that he was eating an apple, he ate one everyday. Before he knew it, Bonnie was walking towards him and he smiled. "Well I'm glad you came." He said watching as she pulled out a paper box out of her bag. Haha, that was one funny bag. He laughed as she said that the house elves made them instead of herself. "You gotta love the house elves." He said with a chuckle. "But thanks, it means a lot." He said leaning over and hugging his...friend.

He pulled back and sat the paper box over beside him by his school bag. "Now we're just going to wait here until everyone comes, which is a bit boring, but soon everyone should be coming." He nodded. He wondered if she knew that he had broken up with Sophie yet, eh, probably not. But he would let Bonnie and Evan figure that out later.

Cass turned and saw a guy walk nearby who also had a book with him! Finally someone who likes to read, every person that she had met recently has been into art and not books. It was getting a bit tiresome.

She stood up from her spot on the grass, carrying her book with her and walked over to him "Hey there, can I join you?"

Like any normal girl Sophie had cried a lot before she had went to bed the previous night. The breakup with Sebastian had been emotional and the prefect only went down to the Whomping Willow picnic because she had promised that she would. She wasn't looking forward to the thing but she was going to try and make an effort for her ex-boyfriend who was leaving. It was the least she could do. Gripping a tray with a freshly baked chocolate cake in her arms the brunette walked the meters from the castle to the willow with heavy feet. Sebby was already there with another girl whom she guessed was either Bonnie or Selena. Waving to the two Sophie called out cheerily "Hey! Nice spot for a picnic. But isn't this way too close to the willow? I don't want to be hit unpectantly."

As soon as he expected, there was Sophie, punctual as always with a...chocolate cake in her hands. Oh no, he had forgotten all this time to tell her that he was allergic, or had he? Hopefully he had told her, hopefully. As Sophie was stating that it might be too close to the tree he remembered that he could put a shield charm around them from the tree. He waved his wand over their picnic area and nodded back over to Sophie. "It should be good now." He said with a nod. "Thanks for coming." He said with a smile and giving his ex-girlfriend a hug. Ugh, this didn't make it any better. He pulled back and turned towards Bonnie. "Sophie, this is Bonnie. Bonnie, this is Sophie." He said feeling a bit of tension rising in the air.

Trixie, enjoying the finally decent weather, made her way through the grounds to eventaully come to a halt at the Whomping Willow, a delicate smile on her pale face as she paused to quickly glance around the area. The Blonde sat down a safe distance away from the tree itself, knowing of its slightly unpredictable nature she wasn't prepared to sit too close. She had been informed to meet her boyfriend down here, typical Trixie she had arrived considerably early and found herself pretty much alone as she sat and contemplated what could be happening.

With a heavy sigh, the very almost 18 year old realised that it was now May and not only was her stint as Head Girl almost over, but so was her life at Hogwarts. Although she knew herself that her life outside of the school would be as exciting and eventful as it was when she was in school and that there was someone very special that would always be there for her, it saddened her to think that within a few months, she wouldn't be able step foot in the castle ever again.

Now just to wait. Trix absorbed the sun as she sat there, head on her knees, looking over towards the Lake as the sun reflected off its surface.

Freddie made his way up from the dungeons and across the courtyard towards the grounds of Hogwarts. He squinted as his eyes readjusted to the bright light after being cooped up dimly lit dungeons for hours studying. It was certainly nice to be out.. even nicer knowing that he was on his way to meet Trixie.

The lad spotted her from a good distance away and a small rare smile graced his lips as he approached her. He sat next to her, drawing his knees up to his chin and mirroring her stance. “'S'beautiful isn't it?” He glanced at the gorgeous blonde. “...You're going to miss it..?” Heck, even Freds was going to miss it and he was still relatively new here. He had a feeling Trixie wasn't going to take her graduation well..

Trixie watched as a few younger students walked across the grounds, at least they had many years ahead of them and they wouldn't be leaving for good. She envyed them. They could enjoy these last few weeks whereas Trixie would find it incredibly hard to, for her mind was literally focused on counting down the days until she'd leave. She might have cried the more she thought about it if it wasn't for the sudden appearance of someone who never failed to make her happy.

The Blonde looked to her left as Freddie arrived, a smile arriving on her face as he sat down and mirrored her stance. The Slytherins head layed down on her boyfriends shoulder, her arms gripping hold of his gently. "Like you then.." her eyes wandering up to his before realising what she had just said and cringing. "I mean.. Yeah. Gorgeous" she looked back at the ground. "Course I am. I've spent so much time here and.. Well basically all my memories were formed here, I just dont think I'm ready to go yet" she sighed once more, her eyes drfiting back up to his.

Selena was skipping with her panda bag once again. Lalallaaaa. Picnics meant food and picnics usually meant ants. Selena didn't like ants but she liked food and that was enough reason to go. Plus, it was TallPerson's last term so she kinda had to go. It just wouldn't be right if she didn't. But today her bag was extra heavy. What were the chances that they'd have candy at a picnic? Nuuuthhhing. She had tried to make it lighter by, y'know, eating the candy but she decided it was best to share. Mmmhmm. That way she could sit back, nom on candy and watch the drama that would unfold. Hehehe.

"HAAAIII," Selena giggled as she saw everyone and waved.

Look! There was food. "Well, I didn't wanna be kicked out of the kitchens for being in there or like... blowing anything up so I brooouuught... CANDY!" Selena exclaimed before she looked around. And then she looked around. Oooh. Awkward. What was she supposed to do now? Hm... "Imma Selena!" she added hyperly. C'mon. Don't hate just because she was here now... right?

Bonnie lifted half of her lips into a smile and jumped when he hugged her. "You've gotta stop doing that." She hissed quietly - so quietly she was sure he couldn't hear. Last year Hayley got super mad at her for hugging Jayce. Sophie wouldn't like it if she caught them mid-hug would she?

The the girl came along and Bonnie pushed Sebastian away, backing away herself. The girl had cake. Chocolate cake. Bonnie's mouth watered but her eyes darted to Sebsters. "That looks great!" She said with a shaky smile, braking the sudden silence. "Nice to meet you."

Then a small chick came along and introduced herself as Selena. Ahhh, Selena. Bonnie had heard about Selena. Bonnie grinned. She felt a lot warmer towards that girl then to Sophie. Of course she did. Sophie was with the guy she was totally crushing on. Bonnie glanced up at Sophie and Sebastian and bit her lip, seeing the tension.

Crazed!Girl shuffled over to Sebsters bestie and blinked up again at Sebastian and Sophie. "Imma Bonnie." She said to the girl and grabbed an apple. "Candy sounds good to me." She sighed but took a bite out of the apple. "Have to eat something healthy. Wanna make a good impresion." She mumbled to the girl, now looking at anything other than the couple.

AWWWKKKWWWAAAAAARDDDD.

Yes. Them. Who were they? She nodded to confirm Treyen's question.

The owl...she kinda guessed that. Or maybe she did know it. Or Gilderoy just sounded like an owlish name.

He has a knarl? "You have a knarl? Like a real live breathing knarl!?" Mmm. Clearly owls and pygmy puffs were the extent of pets she was allowed. Knarls were the epitamy of cute, though.

"Why would you want a picture?" Like for her birthday she'd want the newest broomstick or something. Those seemed to come out more over the holidays, though. Were they early birthday presents, then? Oh well. She'd gotten used to not getting presents on her birthday. Not while she was at school. The most Screech could carry were a few cauldron cakes, really. Giving him her camera every so often was a strain on him, you could tell. Ellie didn't really care, though. He was just being a wimp.

Wow. Look at Treyen being all philosophical. "I get that," she said, nodding again. That was why she'd gotten her first camera last term. Too bad she forgot about bringing it. Now she doesn't have that 'proof' of Reyn. Just her own memory. Hopefully she wouldn't forget it...

Nah, she doubted she would.

"Well, go on then."

Selena giggled and smiled at taller blondie. Ah, Sel laiked this person. Mmmmhmm. She wasn't mean like TallPerson. Yup. "Nice to meet you Bonnie," she said as she placed the panda backpack on her lap and unzipped the back. She flipped over the furry animal and shook it. Bertie Botts, Fizzing Whizbees, Sugar Quills, Licorice Wands, lemon drops and cauldron cakes all fell out amongst many other types of candy.

Her mouth dropped when Bonnie said she had to eat something healthy. "That's a LIIIEEEE," Selena exclaimed. Noooo. Nooo. People eating healthy was like... against the theories of life. She wrinkled her nose at the apple the girl was eating. "That does not look good," Selena scowled. It looked evil. Like it wanted to eat her instead. And Selena didn't want to be eaten. She was still young.

"Don't care about impressions, just be yourself and get hypppeeer," Selena exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air before realizing she was being weird. Ah well, they'd have to get used to it, wouldn't they? Oh wait. Then she registered something.

THIS was Bonnie... which meant that other girl must be Sophie... which means... awh man. Complication. Why couldn't TallPerson have more friends? That way she wouldn't have to think about who was who. *groan* She picked up her ginormous lollipop, bit it and pushed her hat over her eyes. Y'know, in case someone started snogging someone else... Old people. Gross.

"When's it time to eat?" she muttered, tilting the hat a little, still nomming on the lollipop before covering her eyes again. Mmmhmm. She didn't want her eyes to be scarred for life.

Fee giggled when she saw the brunette this happy.Had she missed something? Seriously Ellie wasnt in a normal happy mood.she was in an extremely happy mood and it was nice to know.Fee liked seeing her friends happy."What were you summing?",the girl asked smiling.Somehow the good modd was taking over the Slytherin too.Hehe.

Beautiful Slytherin friend?Something was definitely up in here and the second year wanted to knooow."Suuush Ellie",she chuckled,"why are you so happy today?"There had to be a goood reason,.Of course the weather was amazing but that couldnt be it right?!

Fee sighed when she heard Rex calling himself a loser."I like to hang out with you cause you arent a loser",she tried to reassure her best friend."I am sure she didnt leave",the girl said shaking her head,"maybe she is busy or sick?"The blonde needed to ask someone out of Rene's house if they knew what was up.This wasnt good,.Not good at all...

As Sebastian was talking to Sophie he noticed Selena coming down and he waved towards her. "Hey ShortPerson!" He yelled over to her. He laughed as she said she brought candy, not suprised by her actions, and she announced her name. "Yeah, this is Selena everybody, this is Sophie and that is Bonnie." He introduced to everyone. That way it didn't get quite as awkward here as it already seemed to be. Hehh.

Then Bonnie told him that he had to stop hugging her he raised an eyebrow. Why couldn't he hug his friend?

O_o

Before he knew it, he was pushed away from her and he ruffled up his hair, confused. He agreed with Bonnie though, the cake did look great, but he couldn't eat it. He felt horribly bad.

Then he noticed Bonnie talking to Selena and he shrugged, turning back towards Sophie. Now where was Evan?

While Sebastian was talking to Sophie, he heard Selena ask when it was time to eat. "Oh in a few minutes, we just have to wait for Evan to come." He nodded. He couldn't just leave out him, even though he would like to.

Kita perched her sunglasses on top of her head and frowned at Caroline. Something wasn't right. "Oh dear!" she said, looking at Caroline, "What happened? Did your mum do something?" She certainly hoped not! That would be really sad! And from the way Caroline was sitting, it did seem that something was wrong. Hm...
