"Evil...witch?" He had to blink a few times, the confusion evident on his expression. They must have been talking about a different fairy-tale. Evil witch seemed more real to life. Another blink left him as he realized just how strange that sounded.

"Evil witches, step mothers, big bad wolf....you know, the villain." As much as they always seemed to be on the same page with just about any and everything, there was the occasional moment when they weren't on the same page. Like now for instance. Her brow narrowed in slight confusion, what was he referring to? "They're in every fairy tale."

"Well, considering they are just made up stories." He rocked them again as he pursed his lips in thought. "They don't have to be in this one."

"No, they're not welcomed in this one." She agreed with a slight head nod. Shame they couldn't simply wish away the villains in real life so easily. "Singing dwarfs and talking animals are though," she said with a grin. They always were.

A slight chuckle left Sabel as the smile returned to his lips. "They are indeed." There would be no sadness in their fairy-tale; simply the joys and bliss of life. A warm afternoon sun and a gentle breeze over a grassy plain. No pain, no fear, no hurt. It seemed ridiculous for a seventeen year old boy to be making up dreams and fantasies, but at the same time, it felt like something he could hold onto, if not the actually fairy-tale itself, then this moment that created it. And in some ways, this moment was more beautiful than that fantastical world.

His chuckling only caused her grin to widen, glad that they had agreed on such silly things for their fairy tale. Pulling him closer, she wrapped her arms back around him as they rocked. Resting her head back on his chest. "I think we have a lovely fairy tale."

The soft smile returned as he readjusted his arms around her and rested his chin on top of her head. "I think we do too." It would be nice, if they could stay like this for a long time. Except perhaps now in the owlery.

The flutter of wings and soft hoots from the owls was a good background noise, allowing her to let her thoughts drift as the continued to rock. Keeping them away from thoughts about homework and studying, and instead on more pleasant things. She was certain she could spend the rest of her day like this if allowed.

He didn't know how long they stayed like that for, lightly dancing in silence, keeping the warmth sealed around them. It was only when his stomach elicited a rather obnoxious growl that he drew back a little, blinking in half embarrassment and half surprise. "Oh..."

Arya was sure that she could feel his stomach rumbling when it emitted a loud growl, and giggled at the thought blinking first at him then his stomach. It was with another giggle that she lightly poked him in the stomach. "I'm guessing you haven't had breakfast yet." Something she had yet to do as well.

His stomach bowled in a little at her poke, his eyes blinking at her prodding finger. "No...apparently someone feels left out." Sheepish eyes returned to her along with an equally embarrassed smile. "Sorry...that's a good way to end a dance." Cue wince.

"Its fine," she said with a grin, eyes flicking back up to his. "My stomach does the same thing occasionally." Glancing back down, she gave her own empty belly a poke before looking back up at him. "I haven't had breakfast yet either. Wanna grab something to eat?"

"Strange noises they make." He considered his stomach and then the poking of her own stomach before looking up at her. "I believe that would be a very good idea. Just as long as it's not owl feed. I can't imagine it would be very filling."

Scrunching up her nose, she shook her head. "No, nothing the owls would consider tasty. Especially not my owl." She ate bugs and rodents. They were fun to play with, not to eat. Spinning halfway so that she was at his side, she slipped her hand into his, smiling up at him. "I'm thinking something along the lines of chocolate chip waffles." Mmm. That sounded gooood.

"Ooooh...." Sabel's mood and expression visibly brightened even more. "Now I like the sound of that." Threading his fingers through hers, he gave her hand a small squeeze before starting to the door and out of the owlery, for the adventure of their chocolate chip waffles.

Hugo ran up to the owlery. O-kay. He hoped he didn't scare any owls. Entering the place, he walked towards his owl. He picked up the little barn owl and started talking. "Hey there little Athena. This is Fee. We're going to practice Transfigurations here."

Athena looked at him and skreeched. Was he giving her food? No. HE WAS GOING TO FIRE A SPELL? HERE? Athena skreeched again, then looked at the girl. Who was that supposed to be?

Hugo petted the owl and let it fly away, but it flew back to it's regular spot. "Eww, this place stinks," he said to noone in particular. "Do you have an owl?" he asked Fee. Then he focused on the compass. "Okay. We need improvement," he said and put the compass in the window, the only spot that wasn't covered with fecal matter. "Reverto." he whispered and the compass turned back into an ugly watch. Hugo found it easier to concentrate when as well as Fee, there was a load of poop and annoying owls. It was somehow relaxing. Focus. He pointed the wand at the watch, and made the sign. "Comletia." The wand sparked, and the owls flew away.

WHAT. THE. HELL? Athena skreetched as it was the only owl left that hadn't completely gone mad.

Hugo moved closer to the compass. He picked it up. It was a bit warm. Disappointed he looked at Fee. "There's not really much change, is there?" he said.

Fee walked into the owlery shortly after Hugo. Seemed like more students had owls this term. If there were even more next term, the Owlery would probably explode.Where was her owl by the way?!That little snow owl always disappeared woth her friend Keegan.Not that the blonde minded, her little friend was always there when she needed her but still. Baylee?Hello?!

Oh there was Hugo's owl.How cute he talked to her.Waving at the owl the girl smiled."Heey there Athena",she said, i hope you dont mind us practising for Transfiguration here."Fee loooved owls.

When the Ravenclaw complained about the smell the blonde chuckled a little."Well i guess someone should clean here",she nodded. Didnt they have a janitor or something like that?!If so that person didnt do her or his job very well. "Yees her name is Baylee and its a snow owl",the blonde told him,"but somehow i cant find her."Okay, so Hugo had changed the look of his compass again. Now it was Fee's time. She wondered what it would look like now. Hmmm.. Lets see. "Reverto",the Slytherin aimed her wand at the compass and within seconds it turned into that oh so not fashionable old watch the teacher had gave to them.Taking a deep breath she tried to concentrate on the charm."Comeltia."The watch immedately turned into a purple compassWhy did she always get the colorfoul ones?!Mhh..., as long as it did what it should do."Of course there is a change",the girl looked at Hugo's compass,"dont worry about it."She couldnt tell what it was but there was a difference and besides there wouldnt appear the same one two times right?!

What the- Hey, this girl was pretty cute. Athena wondered if she had an owl. A male owl. Maybe a hooky thingie owl or a snowy owl? Those were cute. She skreetched at the girl saying "OH HELLO THARR" and flew to Hugo's hand, picking up the compass.

Hugo sniffed. "I could do something about that," he said and took out his shiny wand again. "Tergeo." He pointed it at the ground and most of the duece thankfully disappeared. "It's a cleaning charm my mum taught me," he told Fee. "I said I would go Reducto on her flowers if she didn't tell me how to do it," Hugo said. "She wanted me to clean my room myself so I'd know how to work with my hands. But hello- I took Herbology courses for Merlin's sake," he said and blushed. "Sorry to tell you about my boring family," he said. No- his dad wasn't missing like Kurumi's. He wasn't adopted like Eino. He didn't live in a big mansion like Fee and Cass and- well... The rest of Hogwarts. He didn't have a scar on his forehead and he wanted to become a wandmaker. That was a pretty adventureless life. Hugo smiled as his girlfriend transformed the watch. Girly- again, of course. He patted Athena and took the compass out of it's beak. "Where to this time?"

Fee giggled when the owl skreetched at her. That one was a cute one really,suited Hugo.Hehe.But what did Athena want with the compass? Maybe lead them the way? Awww.

Ohh suddenly it smelled a lot better here."Woahhh once again you and your genius mind impress me."Fee would have never thought of that. Did she even know that charm?!With every day they spend together the blonde more and more knew why Hugo had been sorted into Slytherin. How could one person be so smart?!"Maaaan you would have really used Reducto to her flowers?",the Slytherin laughed,"you bad bad boy." But from what he told her his mum sounded like an awesome person."I totally understand i hate cleaning my room myself",the girl chuckled.Not to mention that houselves usually did when she asked them. Wait a second did he just call his family boring?!Woah when would he stop thinking so low of himself?!"Hugoo really?",Fee asked raising an eyebrow,"you are not boring and your family isnt boring as well. I would love to meet them someday."To her he was the most interesting person ever. Why didnt he see what of a great guy he was?!Fee would show him with all she had."What about east?",she smiled walking northeastern from where Athena was.

"Thanks," Hugo said and smiled at Fee. He looked around. "East?" he asked and looked at his compass. "I think that's where the front gate is... Could also point to the quidditch pitch," Hugo said and walked towards the window. "So, where to go?"

The girl just shook her head.Hugo should really stop thinking he wasnt good enough for her or bored her. Because, that wasn not true. " Yeah it points east",the blonde said tipping her index finger againbst her chin,"what do you think?"The front gate or the Quidditch pitch. Mhhhh where would the compass lead the?!You never knew."Do you think we are supposed to find something?",she asked looking out the window. There had to be a reason why they did all this right?!

"Well it doesn't lead us anywhere I think... How are we supposed to find something?" he asked. That sounded a bit weird. "I think it's pointing towards the gates."

"I dont know",the blonde said looking a bit confused,"but there has to be a reason why it points in those exact directions dont you think?"Or maybe not and Fee was thinking too complicated. "Good lets go to the gates then",she nodded.They were already switichng to the third location.Wooohooo.

"Okay," Hugo smiled, took Fee's hand and walked out of the owlery.

Adam looked into the owlery. He wasn't quite sure why he was here? It's not like he wanted to write his parents. But he had heard Eino had killed his cactus here, by accident, thinking it could fly. Adam thought he might be able to find the remains, so he bent low to the ground, looking for anything dark green with lots of pointed hairs on the tips.
